Beast Taming? Nah, Dragon Herding is Way Better! - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Going Home
“Based on the academy’s schedule, I still have some couple of days before the classes start, so I should probably tour around a bit more” seeing the people going to and from the square that he just left from, Diluc mutters more to himself than anyone else as he decided to come out of the capital city for now, possibly even reaching some secluded place where he can hide the spatial fluctuation from opening the gate to the Draconic Realm away from any prying eyes.

As he finally reaches the gates once again, he finds it way easier to come out of the capital city instead of coming in, probably because the place is really peaceful and there’s no need for anyone to be checked of what they are carrying out of the capital city.

The moment he came out of the gates, the emperor-like young man starts using his wind elemental mana to increase his speed even more, deciding to move far away from the capital city for now just in case, spending his time travelling for more than an hour in a straight direction before he finally stops to spread his senses through the mana in the air, something that is not really going to be all that useful should there be someone far stronger than him that decides to hide in the nearby area.

After sensing that there is no one else in the surroundings, he then hesitantly opens the gate to the Draconic Realm, the fact that there is no person or just any sentient being that just rushes towards him the moment he opens it up making known to him that this a good sign that there’s really no people in the nearby area.

Finally dispelling his worries about his secret being found, the young man then steps into the spatial gate once again, already fully aware of what he might meet on the other side of the place.

It is the next day after Diluc had been accepted as a student of the Flammenherz Kingdom’s Academy, and knowing that he still has some free time before the lectures starts, he decided that this is a good time for him to start improving the quality of life of the Draconic Realm once again, finding it a pity that he cannot raise another dragon yet as he doesn’t have time, especially since he wants to be with the dragon for the whole time of their extremely short childhood stage before they transform into an adolescent one.

After stepping into the familiar, home-like place once again, the Ruler of the Draconic Realm is immediately greeted by two horned beauties each having their own unique features, one being a neon green-haired, mature and alluring beauty, while the other one being a platinum-haired, taciturn beauty that appears to be of the same age as him, the two of them looking at him with a glowing light in their eyes.

“What’s with this?” looking at the two draconic beauties clinging on each of his arms, Diluc smiles helplessly as he asks, prompting the two of them to pout seemingly in grievance as if he did something wrong to them.

“You don’t sleep here last night…” despite being the more easily embarrassed and shy one, the platinum-haired beauty, Argenta, said with a bit of annoyance in her voice as she looks up at him, making her appear incredibly adorable to his eyes.

“Hubby, you… you reek of an outsider… and…” meanwhile, the neon green-haired mature beauty takes in his scent relentlessly, suddenly speaking of multiple things that starts to get more and more sense as she continues, making her look like a great detective, a peculiar one at that given that she’s using her sense if smell rather than deductive reasoning.

“Half-dragon, half-human, is that… ice elemental mana?” as she continues to sniff, this mature draconic beauty, Yggdrasil, gets closer and closer to the truth, making Diluc quite surprised on just how keen this lady’s sense of smell is.

Before this mature beauty gets even closer to the truth though, she got interrupted as thunderous roaring starts resounding through the skies of the Draconic Realm, a figure the same size of Yggdrasil’s dragon form revealing its shadow as it rapidly descends into the main island’s grounds, all these three individuals knowing completely well who is it just from this usual flashy entrance.

As the figure crashes to the ground, some smoke effects probably from the steam coming out due to the heat from this dragon’s body forms around where they landed, something that both the two draconic ladies have known to be something of a dramatic effect that this beloved youngest sister of theirs just had to do every single time she reveals herself to their liege, something they do not really find annoying, just a bit inefficient given how time consuming her entrance is.

“Seraphina, do you really have to do that every time?” seeing the feminine figure barely visible from the depth of this steam, Diluc asks with a helpless smile pasted on his face, wondering just why is it that this fire dragoness’ character turns out to be like this, although he isn’t really all that surprised given how she is when she is still in the infancy stage.

“Waaahaha~~~! Does my dear liege call for the great me!?” with an eccentric, yet still pleasantly sounding voice that surprisingly matches her way of speaking, the youngest dragon he has, the fire dragon Seraphina, emerges from the steam that she created by and for herself, her figure gradually getting more and more visible as she continues to come closer towards her most treasured family.

Different from Yggdrasil’s mature, voluptuous curves and Argenta’s pretty yet still developing figure, this lady is the very definition of a young lady of a noble family, with her physique leaning more on the thin side, a perfect amount of curves on her lower part, particularly hips and her behinds, as well as an amply developed bosom that just screams pride in perfection, a long legs that grants her a relatively taller stature even when compared to her liege, her heigh barely equaling his despite him being on the taller side among the humans.

Her face is a divine grace as well, having a heart shaped one adorned with large eyes with fiery red ruby gems of a pupil on them, a slightly arched eyebrows that just seems to speak so much about her demeanor, a straight nose and a cute, small lips that bears the same color as her bright, lively pupils, lastly, the hair on top of her head is the same color as her arched eyebrows, being that of a flame red in color transitioning into a fiery orange as it reaches the tip, her entire being just screams of a wild atmosphere if not for her attire appearing way too proper for her.

Wearing a semi-formal, men’s wear, her most treasured possession that her dear liege gave her the moment she had taken a human form, this fire dragoness wore it proudly with a smile on her face as she walks towards her treasured family faster and faster, until she eventually stands in front of the three of them, the two other draconic beauties needing to look up just to properly look at her face just like how they look up to see their handsome face of their liege.

“Hehehe~~~” not finding anything to reply and reason for herself, this fiery beauty, Seraphina, merely giggles as he covers her mouth with one of her hands, coming off as someone of a disciplined family if not for her previous flashy show of might.

Seeing her acting like that, Diluc just smiles as he pulls her towards him as well, allowing her to wrap her arms around his body as well, something that she seems to really enjoy despite all this show of her appearing high and mighty.

“Will you sleep here tonight, my dear liege?” after feeling his warmth that she hadn’t felt for so long (about a day) this youngest among his dragons, Seraphina, asked with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, her words also sparking the curiosity of both Yggdrasil and Argenta as they both look at him with a similar expression on both their faces.

“Don’t worry I will stay here for a couple of days” knowing that he will hardly have time for daily visit once the actual classes in the academy starts, Diluc said, comforting them, making sure that he explains what is about to proceed in the near future, the fact that their time with this liege if theirs about to be reduced in the near future making them feeling quite down, with the emperor-like young man only managing to comfort the three of them once he promised that he will at least visit them once every two days and sleep there in the weekends.

As they continue with their catching up, that seems to be way too long despite them not even being separated for more than a day, the young man along with these three heavenly beauties have their smiles getting greater and greater as they spend more time with each other.
