Chapter 388 – Grande Gets Angry
“In other words, there are people in this castle who suspect that I am being tricked by Kosuke or that I am following him or something like that. That’s what you’re saying, right?”
“Well, to put it very roughly, that possibility is not impossible…”
“All right, I understand. Let’s tear this castle down to its foundations and turn it into a pile of rubble. You have the nerve to underestimate not only Kosuke but me as well. I’ll buy this fight!”
“OK, OK, you are right to be angry, but please wait. I don’t want you to do that, that’s why I’m telling you this. Calm down a little bit.”
I tried to calm down Grande, who was outraged after hearing what I said, but the angry Grande would not listen to me at all. She was furious. Her tail is whipping wildly. No, it’s more like slapping. I wonder if she is hitting it very hard, and I feel as if the stone room is shaking despite the slime padding.
“How can I calm down? They don’t know anything about Kosuke and me, yet they sneak around and play stupid tricks on us! I won’t let that happen!”
Saying this, Grande stomps on the ground. Yeah, let’s not do that because it’s damaging the carpet, and I can hear something through the carpet that sounds like the floor is cracking.
Yeah, it’s bad. She is more angry than I thought. This must have hit Grande’s mental nerves. What should I do now? It’s hard to attract her with food when she’s so angry… I’m trying to distract her with food; of course, that’s not good, I know. I’ll think about it.
“I understand. I would also like to turn this castle into a pile of rubble right now with the full power of the magic airship if I could.”
“Isla-san?”
I am trying to figure out how to convince her, so can you please stop saying things that will upset her even more? It’s not a pun because it’s possible. If the landing place of the flying dragons is destroyed in the first move, a few dragon cavalrymen who are always on the lookout for airborne warnings would not be the enemy of the magic airship.
“But if I do that, Kosuke will be in trouble, so I won’t do it.”
“Mm…”
When Isla says that and makes a smug face, Grande’s momentum weakens.
“But even I have a thing called pride. If they make false claims about Kosuke, who is my partner, and about me, who accepted Kosuke as my partner, then even I cannot back down!”
Grande, calmer than before but still tapping the ground with her tail, looks at me. Hmm, what should I tell her?
“Well, for someone from the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, they don’t know Grande and me very well yet. I think it’s only natural that they want to know as much as possible about what kind of people we are.”
“This idea is disrespectful and unbecoming. I chose Kosuke, Kosuke accepted me, and the relationship between Kosuke and me has been acknowledged by my family. There is no room for anyone else to interfere.”
“Indeed.”
I never dreamed that the time would come when I would be persuaded by Grande. But Grande was right.
“But it’s another thing to say that it’s okay to break things. But what Grande says is also true, and it seems to me that we need to initiate this, or at least threaten them, or at least give them a warning.”
It would be a shame to leave things as they are and continue to be subjected to endless ‘tests.’ In the first place, even though they invited us to the National Festival, it’s as if they want to know if I’m really fit to be the dragon’s mate. If so, prove it! It’s kind of like that. What’s wrong with that?
“Yes, I’m getting angry too. Maybe I should blow up the whole castle with a magic sparkling stone bomb?”
“No, that’s too much, isn’t it?”
“That’s too much.”
“Kosuke-kun, calm down.”
“Th-that’s too much…”
I was joking, but everyone stopped me with a serious tone. No, it was a joke. I would never do that. If I were to do that, I would have secretly placed explosive blocks in different parts of the castle and blown them up.
“It’s a joke, but it’s not good to be underestimated like this. However, it’s also not a good idea to do something like gunboat diplomacy to show off our mighty power, as if we were the armed forces of power here again…”
From what I’ve heard, the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom is basically a very proud nation. In other words, it is a country that values honor. They respect the strong and despise the weak. In that case, in order for them to recognize my existence, I would have to show them that I have the power they value… Huh? Isn’t that the usual line of armed power?
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and in the end, is it always quickest to show the usual simple violence?”
“That’s true.”
“I don’t want to put it this way, but in the end, the more a country is constantly threatened by monsters, the more it tends to value power…”
Hmm… Since Grande is here, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to be like a fox that borrows the authority of a tiger, but other than that, I guess the best thing to do would be to turn into a muscle brain and use force to get rid of the problem. I am torn.
“There are still a few days until the National Festival. There is no need to rush.”
“That is true. Is it possible to investigate the matter at tonight’s dinner party?”
“I suppose so. I don’t think this is the consensus of the entire Dragonis Mountain Kingdom as a whole.”
“But isn’t it significant that a guard from another country publicly insults the royalty of another country without the king’s knowledge and then challenges them to a duel? If this was a conspiracy by the royal family, wouldn’t it lead to the abolition of the royal family or the revocation of the right of succession to the throne?”
Isla and Driada, as well as Gerda and Meme, remain silent. Grande, on the other hand, looks as if she doesn’t know what I’m talking about.
“What’s wrong with that?”
“If I say it’s bad, it’s bad…”
If we publicly denounce them and demand that they find the culprits on a large scale, it could lead to the downfall of someone in the royal family of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom if things go badly. In some cases, it might leave a strong grudge.
It would be better to leave that to Driada. I can’t really force myself to do that.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
Driada smiles bitterly. If I can’t do something, it’s best to leave it to someone who can, yes.
