Chapter 172: The Role of Adults

“Although I think it is too late to realize Kaisar-sama’s power now, I never realized how ugly those consumed by their own power, which blinds them from their surroundings, are. And that red lizard’s attitude is still rude. What should I do about it?”

“I’m sorry. I have no words to return. Please, please just ignore my daughter!”

Then, Karendoll followed Rururu further, but what was it? Couldn’t I just say, “You don’t have a say there”?

I’m not waiting for Tsukkomi, am I? I hoped so, but Karendoll’s voice and facial expression were so stern I couldn’t just do it.

“Well, well, well. It’s not intentional, that’s all right. It happens.”

”Master is too sweet!” x2

“I’ll pat you on the head later…”

“Your generous heart, your large capacity, you are indeed a great person!”

”Not only are you strong, but also kind. What else can I say but that you’re the perfect master!?”

I’m starting to understand how to handle these guys these days, but I don’t know why I’m not very happy about it.

“Mom and Dad, you’re so pathetic! Where’s your dignity as dragons? I can’t show my face when I go back to my village! There’s no need to bow down to such a puny human!”

I saw Faruru, the red-scaled daughter of the dragon couple, still howling in disagreement, as if she couldn’t understand that I was the one to whom her parents had given in, and her father, Fafnir, was trying to remonstrate with her, so I stilled him with my hand.

“Please, Master! This child is still so young. Can you please overlook her this time? If it displeases you, I will give you my head.”

I guess he misunderstood my instructions because Fafnir was begging me not to direct my anger at his daughter as he offered me his head.

Am I that untrustworthy? I think so, but it might be natural to say that since I didn’t have much of a relationship with Fafnir, to begin with.

“I’ll never do anything Fafnir would be worried about, don’t worry. But excuse me as I’m going to teach her a lesson. I think she’s being a bit harsh to go so far without showing any respect or pretense of paying respect to someone she’s just met, and I think it’s the role of adults to warn young ones about what’s not right.”
