Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"Isn't that obvious?"

Meiliuqina answered anxiously.

"That's my child! If you were in her shoes, you'd also care a lot about what she thinks!"

"Right!"

"is it?"

Morgan pursed his chin and began to think seriously.

"I don't really care what they think, after all, a mother has an obligation to help her child choose the path for the future."

"However, you're right."

"We really should give her own thoughts a good consideration."

"How about this--"

Morgan turned his gaze from the sky to Melyuchina beside him.

“After Ian brings her back, we’ll ask her opinion properly. What do you think?”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Meiliuqina answered without hesitation.

However, both she and Morgan underestimated Mashu's playful nature.

She had her father, Ian, transform into a dragon and fly with her for a very long time before finally landing back on the ground.

"Fun!"

After leaping off Ian's back, now in human form, Mash was no longer the tense person she had been at the beginning.

Instead, he adopted an incredibly cheerful demeanor.

"Mom, this is so much fun!"

Mashu tugged at the hem of Melyuchina's clothes.

However, her attitude was completely different from before.

"Yes, really?"

"That's good……"

As Meiliuqina said this, she couldn't help but admire the child's courage.

That's a real dragon! Weren't you scared at all after riding it?

Speaking of which...

It seems that Mashu is more afraid of Ian when he turns into a human than when he turns into a dragon.

What's going on here?

"What a lovely child."

Morgan said this, then came to Mash, bent down, and gently stroked her head.

"Next time, take me with you."

"..."

Mashu did not show much resistance to Morgan's touch.

However, she still cautiously asked her mother, Meryuchina.

"Mom, this is..."

"Ah, this—"

Before Melyuchina could answer Mashu's question, Morgan gave his own answer first.

“Sister Morgan.”

"Sister, sister?"

Melyuchina looked at Morgan in disbelief.

"You consider yourself the older sister?"

"Ok?"

Morgan gave a kind smile, and then asked a question in return.

"Am I not the older sister? Hmm?"

"..."

Although he was smiling, Meryuchina could indeed sense the murderous intent hidden in Morgan's words.

She would probably immediately reveal her true nature as a witch the moment she denies such a thing.

It's better not to do that.

“Yes, this is Sister Morgan,” Melyuchina immediately said.

"elder sister!"

"Hmm, it sounds really nice."

Morgan picked up Mashu very naturally, his eyes softening with tenderness.

"This child is sure to have a bright future."

"Um--"

Morgan's gaze shifted to Ian standing to the side.

Just like him.

"..."

The dragon looked puzzled, but did not offer any opinion.

However, Morgan knew at that moment that he had more important things to do.

"Mashu, can I ask you a question?"

"Sister, what's the problem?"

Mashu blinked her bright, watery eyes and asked this question.

"that is……"

Do you want to become a knight?

Morgan asked very directly.

Because she understood that there was no need for children Mashu's age to beat around the bush—she couldn't possibly understand what they meant anyway.

"knight?"

"What is a knight?!"

“They are very powerful people, people who can protect Camelot,” Melyuchina explained at this moment.

"Mom, that's the Knights of the Round Table."

"..."

Mashu seemed to have been inspired by something.

She nodded quickly.

"Since Mom is a Knight of the Round Table, then I want to become a Knight of the Round Table too!"

"..."

"..."

Mashu's answer was so quick that even Morgan himself was a little surprised.

"really?"

"Becoming a Knight of the Round Table is extremely difficult."

"Very tough?"

“Yes.” Morgan nodded.

“We have to train for a long time every day, do a lot of things, and if we encounter bad guys, we have to be the first to go up, which is very dangerous.”

"No, why are you telling her all this!"

Now it was Meliuchina's turn to be anxious.

She had no idea that in that instant, her and Morgan's positions had been reversed.

"It will scare her."

"But if we don't make it clear, there might be more concerns later, wouldn't there?"

"..."

Mei Liuqina's statement is irrefutable.

Morgan's words do make sense—if things aren't clarified now, it might be too late to address any problems that arise later.

In comparison…

It's better to clarify things now.

But Mashu provided the answer at that moment.

"No problem, I'm not afraid!"

"..."

Meiliuqina turned to look at her daughter.

“Don’t force yourself, Mashu. There’s no need to agree to Morgan’s request so readily.”

"But I think it's great!"

Mashu answered innocently.

"If I do what Mom does, I can become just like her, right?!"

"..."

“Becoming me wouldn’t be a good thing…” Mei Liuqina whispered.

"what?"

"It's nothing," Mei Liuqina shook her head.

"Well, Mom, I have a small request."

"any request?"

"Can--"

Mashu pointed to Ian, who was not far away.

"Should he teach me how to become a knight?"

156. Mash can have anything she likes.

On the training ground.

Mashu, holding a small wooden sword in both hands, looked at Ian in front of her with a serious expression.

"Hey, I'm coming!"

"Ah."

"I'm really coming!"

"no problem."

"I'm really, really coming!"

"it is good."
