Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

Mei Liuqina looked quite embarrassed.

She had assumed that if Mash was close to her, then she shouldn't be too distant from Ian either.

But reality seems to be quite different—she is not afraid of her mother, but she is afraid of her father.

"..."

Ian did not answer Melyuchina's question, but instead stared at Mash.

But Mashu was clearly still afraid of the burly man in front of her. Wherever his gaze fell, the little girl would hide in another direction, as if she was afraid of being discovered by him.

of course.

This method of avoidance is meaningless to Ian.

After all, the physical abilities of dragons far exceed what ordinary people can imagine.

Soon enough, Mash was still glared at by Ian.

The latter's blood-red eyes sent a chill down the former's spine, and at the same time, the former cried out for help to Meiliuqina.

"Mom, she..."

"Ian, please don't do this."

Meiliuqina immediately took action.

"She's just a little kid. If you keep staring at her like that, you'll scare her."

"Will it scare her?"

"Yup!"

Mei Liuqina nodded repeatedly.

"Don't you know that you're really scary when you're not talking?"

"..."

Ian didn't say a word, but squatted down and looked at Melyuchina in front of him.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:

Are you... afraid of me?

"..."

"Just answer me directly. I want to know what you think."

"..."

Once again, Ian asked her this directly. Mashu probably knew that if she didn't ask, this big guy would never let her go, so after hesitating for a moment, she whispered:

"Um... I am indeed afraid of you."

Why are you afraid of me?

"Did I do something that scared you?" Ian pressed.

"No, it's nothing."

Mashu tugged at the hem of Melyuchina's clothes.

"You didn't do anything to scare me, but I just feel scared when I see you..."

Mashu spoke softer and softer, as if she was worried that if she spoke even slightly louder, she would anger the big guy in front of her.

And that seems to be the case.

After Mashu finished speaking, Melyuchina saw Ian extend his hand.

This time, his hand was no longer aimed at himself, but at Mashu!

That's right.

He lifted Mashu up as if she were a small animal.

"Ian, what are you doing!" Melyuchina was getting anxious.

She might not understand others, but she did know something about Ian's thought process.

This guy might actually do something completely unimaginable!

however--

Ian remained unmoved by Melyuchina's shouts, as if he hadn't heard a word she was saying.

He still lifted Mashu high up, while keeping his eyes fixed on her.

Melyuchina even suspected that if she weren't there, Ian might just gobble Mashu up in one gulp.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened again.

After picking up Mash, Ian did not exhibit any violent behavior.

Instead, he just looked at her and then asked softly.

Do you like flying in the sky?

"..."

To be honest, Melyuchina never expected Ian to say such a thing.

Moreover, she realized that she didn't understand what he was trying to do either.

Fly into the sky?

he……

What are you going to do?

Eh? !

In just a moment, Meiliuqina suddenly realized what was happening.

He's a dragon!

For dragons, flying into the sky means exactly what it says!

He's going to take Mash flying?!

"Flying into the sky?!"

Mashu's previously fearful eyes suddenly became much clearer.

Does it mean "fly high"?

"Fly high?"

It's unclear whether Ian understood Mashu's meaning, but he simply nodded.

"Ah."

"Fly high."

"Fly as high as you want."

"Is it really possible?"

“Yes, that’s fine.” Ian nodded. “I assure you.”

"That--"

Mashu extended her cute little finger toward Ianby.

"Pinky promise?"

"After you've finished cleaning the ditch, you're not allowed to do anything bad."

"it is good."

The two fingers, one big and one small, hooked together.

Uh……

Although she felt that something was amiss, Meiliuqina didn't say anything more.

At least getting along amicably is better than staring at each other like that.

soon.

With Melyuchina's permission, Ian transformed into a black dragon and flew into the sky with Mash.

"Oooo!!!"

Mashu looked noticeably more excited.

This is not difficult to understand.

For Mashu, this was something extremely novel.

Not everyone is as lucky as her to ride the black dragon at this time.

Meryuchina thought that if she were in Mashu's shoes, she would probably shout even louder than Mashu.

really...

They found a solution for him.

This guy, how come he can do everything?

Just as Melyuchina was secretly praising the father of her child, Morgan had appeared beside her without her noticing.

"Melyuzina."

"Eh?"

The petite swordsman turned around.

"Morgan, you've arrived."

"Ah."

"Was it Ian who flew into the sky?"

“Yes, yes.” Melyuchina nodded. “I couldn’t stop him.”

“It’s alright.” Morgan gazed at the sky.

"This is fine too."

"But I want to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Mei Liuqina blinked.

"Have you considered having this child join the Knights?" Morgan asked.

155. Mash, do you want to become a Knight of the Round Table?

"..."

Melyuchina looked at Morgan beside her.

"Are you serious?"

"Such a young child, joining the Knights of the Round Table?"

Do you think I would need to lie about something like this?

Morgan looked at the black dragon carrying Mash flying around in the sky, and his eyes were filled with joy.

"By the way, this is not only my idea, but also Artoria's idea."

"Now you can rest assured, right?"

"..."

“I’m not doubting you,” Melyuchina turned her face away and muttered softly, “The point is, this child is so young, why is he already developing in the direction of a Knight of the Round Table?”

"She might not want to?"

"..."

Morgan was silent for a while, then laughed.

“You seem to care about her, Melyuchina.”
