733.

While Leo and Risinass were walking down the corridor with subtle tension flowing between them.

Mellina appeared before the two of them.

Standing before the Great Heroes not in her appearance as a Lumern professor but as a Dragon Lord, Mellina bowed politely to Leo before looking at Risinass.

While Risinass widened his eyes upon seeing such Mellina.

Mellina tapped her right chest three times, then respectfully lowered her head and bent her knee.

It was the unique etiquette of dragons.

“I have the honor of meeting the great King of Wisdom, Lord Risinass. Though I am lacking, I am Mellina, currently holding the position of Dragon Lord.”

Though Mellina usually maintained her composure and smiling face, she was extremely nervous at this moment.

This was none other than the King of Wisdom, Risinass.

Especially since Mellina was a dragon who had conquered Risinass’ World and even inherited her power.

As such, her reverence for Risinass was bound to be extraordinary.

Watching the nervous Mellina, Leo spoke.

“The direction of the knee you put forward is wrong, you know?”

“What?”

At Leo’s pointing out, Mellina was startled and hurriedly tried to change her knee position.

But soon she stepped on her own long hair, lost her balance, and fell over.

It was completely unbefitting of a Dragon Lord.

She looked just like a nervous child.

Since she actually had the appearance of a child with her power sealed, that image was even more pronounced.

Seeing Mellina trying to get up with an embarrassed expression, Risinass unconsciously covered her mouth.

“Pfft.”

When Mellina looked up in surprise, Risinass turned her head and laughed quietly.

Her trembling shoulders seemed to be holding back a lot of laughter.

“I-I’m sorry for showing such disgrace.”

When Mellina bowed her head, Leo patted her head.

“It is disgraceful. When I first greeted with dragon etiquette, didn’t you say I looked like an old man? You should have practiced a bit.”

“L-Lord Leo.”

Watching the flustered Mellina, Leo chuckled lowly.

“Ahem.”

Meanwhile, Risinass, who had composed herself, greeted Mellina.

Tapping her right chest, bending her knee, and lowering her head.

Perfect etiquette without any excess.

Even that simple action felt dignified.

“I’m also honored to meet you, Dragon Lord Mellina. I’m Risinass.”

“P-please treat me casually, Lord Risinass. I’m so sorry.”

Mellina was flustered and didn’t know what to do, continuously bowing her head.

Though Mellina was evaluated as the strongest existing hero, she couldn’t help but become infinitely smaller before Risinass.

Watching such Mellina, Risinass smiled brightly.

“Then I’ll treat you casually.”

Having said that, Risinass stared intently at Mellina’s face.

Under such a gaze from Risinass, Mellina couldn’t help but stiffen.

“You don’t need to be so nervous. I’m just looking because it’s a bit fascinating.”

Risinass approached and reached her hand toward Mellina’s left eye area.

When Risinass’ hand touched her skin, Mellina could feel the peculiar sensation unique to spirits, not the warmth of a living being.

Understanding what Risinass wanted to see, Mellina opened her closed left eye.

“Wow, another person carrying my mana, how fascinating. So this is the power of Hero Record.”

Risinass exclaimed in admiration.

True to being the incarnation of thirst for knowledge, Risinass felt great interest in the phenomenon before her eyes.

“Though lacking, I have inherited Lord Risinass’ power.”

“You’re not lacking at all. Rather, I’m happy that such an amazing dragon like you inherited my power.”

At Risinass’ sincere and pure praise, Mel smiled shyly and said.

“Upon hearing news of Lord Risinass’ descent, my successor and I prepared a welcome party for you, though it may be lacking!”

“Really?”

Risinass was genuinely delighted.

“Yes. I’ll guide you there.”

Mel led the way toward where they had prepared the welcome party.

A moment later.

En, standing in front of the door, politely greeted Risinass.

“I am called Enkiniass. It is an infinite honor to meet you.”

Unlike Mellina who had shown her emotions, En, who was too nervous, showed a stiff appearance without properly expressing her emotions.

She was even so nervous that she made the mistake of tapping her left chest instead of her right chest.

Risinass encouraged the frozen Enkiniass that it was okay and whispered quietly to Leo.

“Kail, why are the younger generation’s etiquette so messed up?”

“I was wondering when you’d say that.”

While Leo shook his head slightly.

Mellina and En opened the door.

And seeing the decorated room inside, Risinass made a troubled smile.

Leo clicked his tongue audibly.

Because in the center of the room was written in large letters [Congratulations on Your Marriage].

Then.

Pop- Pop-!

Mellina and En, who were behind them, set off celebratory firecrackers.

Flower petals from the firecrackers fell over Leo’s head.

“Though lacking, we prepared this hastily.”

Watching Mellina speak with a bright smile, Leo grinned.

“We just got divorced a moment ago.”

“…What?”

For a moment, Mellina and En made expressions of incomprehension.

But shortly after, both dragons’ faces turned pale.

Toward those two, Risinass made an apologetic expression.

“Sorry that you prepared so hard. But as this guy said, we got divorced.”

Upon hearing those words, Mellina and En’s faces turned blue.

Watching that sight, Leo laughed as if it was amusing.

“Are you dragons or chameleons?”

“W-we have… co… committed such a… g-great… discourtesy… huuung…”

“M-Mellina!”

En urgently supported Mellina, who had even fainted.

“I’m fine though… Sorry about this.”

Risinass muttered with a pitiful face while looking at Leo.

Leo was looking at the two while deep in thought.

‘What? Is this guy also feeling complicated in his own way?’

“Risinass.”

“What?”

Risinass answered the call while pretending not to know.

To such Risinass, Leo asked.

“When faces turn pale or blue like just now, does the dragon’s true body also change color?”

“…That’s what you’re curious about?”

“I suddenly became curious.”

“Just go die.”

Annoyed, Risinass smeared the cake that Mellina and En had prepared all over Leo’s face.

***

Late dawn.

Leo returned to his room and shook his head at the sight of the cleanly cleared space, save for the furniture.

Though he had hastily brought in just a bed and a sofa, the already barren room now looked downright desolate.

“Why is your room like this, both then and now?”

“Thanks to someone, two troublemakers caused a ruckus in my room.”

Leo clicked his tongue as he sat on the sofa.

Then he gestured toward the bed with his chin.

“You sleep on the bed.”

At those words, Risinass chuckled.

“What heroic spirit sleeps on a bed?”

Though he could exert physical force, a heroic spirit didn’t possess a physical body.

Luna’s case had been special.

At that time, Luna had ‘Cometes’ as a vessel that could serve as a body.

Unlike then, Risinass had no vessel that could serve as a physical form.

“I’m just worried about you.”

Risinass looked at Leo, who spoke curtly, for a moment before obediently nodding.

The sofa was large enough to sleep comfortably on.

Leo pulled out a pitch-black cloak from his extradimensional space.

Seeing it, Risinass’s eyes widened.

“That cloak is still around?”

“It’s a Hero Record conquest reward. That guy Lumern said he got it by conquering my world.”

“Ah, so that’s why it’s remained in such good condition.”

Risinass nodded.

Leo lay down, covering himself with the cloak like a blanket.

“We have a lot to talk about, but I’m pretty tired today. So let’s sleep now.”

“I was going to sleep anyway without you telling me.”

At Leo’s words, Risinass clicked his tongue and lay down on the bed.

A moment later.

Only Leo’s steady breathing could be heard.

Risinass, who had been pretending to lie on the bed, sat up.

In truth, he couldn’t feel anything.

He was just a heroic spirit, after all.

Risinass floated his body and flew over to where Leo was sleeping.

After gazing at Leo’s peacefully sleeping face for a moment, Risinass flew back to the bed.

‘It would be nice if I had a physical body like Luna.’

With that thought, Risinass felt his consciousness gradually fading.

***

Chloe’s eyes trembled.

Chloe opened her eyes, sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

“Yaaawn.”

Chloe let out a long yawn.

It felt like she had awakened from a deep sleep.

“Wow, so Chloe yawns like that too?”

Then, hearing a voice from beside her, Chloe snapped to attention with a start.

Iliana was staring at Chloe with a face full of curiosity.

“Iliana, how are you in my room…?!”

“This isn’t your room. According to Eliza, it’s the punishment room.”

Besides Iliana, there were other female students in the room.

“Why are we in the punishment room?”

Looking at the flustered Chloe, Selia asked.

“Chloe. Don’t you remember?”

“Huh? Remember what?”

“Wow, so it was true that Lord Risinass possessed you?”

“Lord Risinass? Ah!”

Chloe was startled as she recalled her last memory before losing consciousness.

A moment later.

Creak-

The door opened and Mellina entered.

“Professor Mel?”

“Huh? Who is Professor Mel? I’m Dragon Lord Mellina.”

The fact that Mel was a Dragon Lord was common knowledge.

But since she had been denying it to the end, everyone just pretended not to know.

So when she officially revealed that she was a Dragon Lord like this, the students couldn’t help but be surprised.

Amid this, Mellina spoke.

“I brought you all to the punishment room not because you did anything wrong.”

Mellina smiled gently to reassure the female students.

Eliza asked Mellina.

“Is it because of Lord Risinass?”

“That’s right.”

Mellina smiled brightly.

“For the past few days, Lord Risinass has been borrowing Miss Chloe’s body.”

At those words, Chloe’s mouth gaped open.

“Are you telling us not to reveal this fact to outsiders?”

At Selia’s question, Mellina shook her head.

“No, Lord Risinass’s descent will be officially announced. Of course, if it becomes known that Lord Risinass is staying in Lumern, it could get noisy, so officially he’ll be staying in Dragonnia.”

“What do you mean by deciding he’ll officially be staying there?”

When Iliana tilted her head in confusion, Chelsea said.

“It means unofficially he’s staying somewhere else. Like Lumern, for instance.”

“Aha!”

Iliana nodded as if she understood.

In Luna and Arron’s case, since they were Great Heroes of the elves and beastmen respectively, there was no justification to control the two races, so their existence was hidden.

They couldn’t let the Great Heroes, who wanted to quietly enjoy the modern era, be bothered by people.

But Risinass was the Great Hero of dragons.

Dragons couldn’t just come to Dragonnia wanting to do something like a pilgrimage.

“But what if dragons come to Lumern for a pilgrimage or something?”

When Iliana made a puzzled expression, Mellina smiled.

“Let them try if they want to.”

“…”

At those words, the students realized anew that the being before them was the apex of dragons.

“Oh, and I didn’t call you all here separately to have this conversation.”

“Then…?”

“You all know who Lord Risinass likes, don’t you?”

“Yes! I even gave him counseling!”

Iliana puffed out her chest proudly.

Looking at Iliana, Mellina smiled.

“Don’t tell that story to other people.”

“Huh? What if I accidentally do?”

“Then I’ll scold you a lot.”

Iliana shrank her neck.

Certainly, in some sense, this was a story involving the honor of the Great Heroes, making it too sensitive to discuss carelessly.

“I’ve also told this story to the male students who know the secret.”

“Which male students know?”

“Cal, Avad, and Leo know about it. So everyone.”

Mellina covered her lips with her finger.

“You must keep it secret, okay?”

***

Chirp chirp-

As bird sounds tickled his ears and sunlight tormented his eyes, he irritably reached out to cover his face with the cloak he had been sleeping under.

But the cloak was nowhere to be found, and he felt something heavy on top of his body.

‘What is this now?’

Leo reached out and touched the object that radiated warm heat, frowning at the softness he felt through his palm.

‘Human bare skin?’

It wasn’t his own bare skin.

Having thought that far, Leo opened his eyes and lifted his head.

And upon discovering Risinass sleeping while using his chest as a pillow, he made a serious expression.

‘Why is he like this without wearing anything?’

Just as he thought that, Risinass’s eyes trembled and opened.

And their eyes met.

Risinass, who had opened his mouth in bewilderment, sat up.

Long straight hair flowed down his body.

Risinass, who was examining his own body while straddling Leo, touched his own cheek and spoke.

“Kail! I got a physical body.”

“It seems my cloak played a role similar to Luna’s Cometes.”

Since it was indeed made from Risinass’s leather, it could serve as a medium for Risinass’s physical form.

“Kail!”

Risinass smiled brightly and wrapped his arms around Kail’s neck, clinging to him.

“Look, I understand you’re happy. But this puts me in a difficult position.”

“Ah…”

Risinass blushed and immediately got off Leo, then ran to the bed.

And covered his body with the blanket.

Watching that scene, Leo looked elsewhere and muttered to himself.

‘Now I understand why that pervert was so obsessed with using Risinass and Luna as models.’
