Chapter 10: Dragon!

　　(Selenia`s POV)

　　Following Cirilia, I arrived outside the fort. Was it really a good idea to leave her dragon outside? It`s not like the war is over& Ah, I see& When she mentioned a dragon, I assumed that she meant something that is the size of a wyvern&

　　Cirilia: "This is my dragon, Semi." She said while petting Semi.

　　Selenia: "Wow& she is very big." I say with a surprised tone and expression.

　　Are dragons rare, or something? Semi was as big as a building, if not bigger. The reason she had to wait outside, is just because Semi would take up too much space inside the fort. I mean, she would fit, but good luck moving around her. I swear, she would easily take up at least ten percent of the fort&

　　Cirilia: "You can pet her if you want, she won`t bite." She said with a giggle.

　　Selenia: "Yeah, she seems very well-mannered." I say while petting Semi.

　　Her scales were rough to the touch. Petting Semi sort of felt like touching a dried fish& Oddly, it didn`t feel bad or gross. I got the same feeling that you would get if you pet your dog or cat. In that sense, Semi was a giant dog& At the very least, she was green, so there shouldn`t be any problems of copyright infringement. Semi, the big Green Dragon&

　　Selenia: "Cirilia, does she have a human form?" I ask with a curious tone.

　　Cirilia: "Human form? I have no idea what you`re talking about, Selenia." She replied with a confused tone.

　　Selenia: "Ah, forget I asked then." I reply with an awkward tone.

　　What even is the point if a dragon can`t turn into a hot woman? Cirilia`s denial, or just lack of understanding of my question, probably means that dragons are just dragons in this world. How boring&

　　Semi: "Wise one, you would be smart to not spout such secrets like that." She said with a serious tone.

　　Cirilia didn`t hear any voice, as the voice clearly was only in my head. She just kept petting Semi. As for the voice, I am a hundred percent sure that it is Semi talking to me. But wait& does that mean that dragon do have a human form!?

　　Semi: "We do. But if the humans and elves knew that we could turn into humans, we would be hunted down quickly. They don`t even know that we can speak, as funny as that sounds." She answered.

　　Selenia: "Oh? Then do you ever use your human form?" I ask with a curious tone in my head.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

　　Semi: "Yes. I am actually personal friends with Cirilia. She doesn`t even know that her friend is the one that she rides on. Funny, isn`t it?" She said with a giggle.

　　Selenia: "Very funny. Now then, why did you call me wise?" I ask in my head.

　　Semi: "A human child knows about us having a human form? That isn`t something that most beings know of. In fact, we have a personal deal with the succubuses to erase people`s memories of us. Of course, only the memories of us having our dragon and human forms." She explained.

　　Selenia: "Will you erase my memory?" I ask with a nervous tone.

　　Semi: "It depends& Do you have any intentions of destroying my race?" She asked back.

　　Selenia: "None at all! Why would I? That would just be crazy." I quickly deny.

　　Semi: "Good, good. Then I`ll hold you to your words. Cirilia is getting suspicious about you just quietly petting me. Please speak up." She advised.

　　What? Oh, shit& Cirilia is giving me an interesting expression& Fuck, I messed up! I forgot that she was sent here to investigate me. I need to be more careful to not seem like a crazy person&

　　Selenia: "Cirilia, will I be given a promotion?" I ask with a curious tone.

　　Cirilia: "Unfortunately not, Private Selenia. Let`s see& how do I explain this?&" She said with a thinking pose.

　　Selenia: "Ah, I get it. Promoting a child in your military because they did some amazing achievement, is bad optics, right?" I reply with a sigh.

　　Cirilia: "Optics? Where did you learn such a specific word& Oh, so Radahn wasn`t speaking crazy when he suggested for me to treat you as an adult, huh?" She replied with a chuckle.

　　Selenia: "Yeah, I think that he said that I was very wise for my age, and that is something that`s happened before?" I say with an unsure tone.

　　Cirilia: "Even if that is the case, you should keep your head down." She advised.

　　Selenia: "Why`s that?" I ask with a head tilt.

　　Cirilia: "Even if you do something else crazy, it wouldn`t impress the higher ups. In fact, they would just get upset, as they would have to come up with more reasons to not promote you." She explained.

　　Selenia: "Hm& betraying this kingdom sounds more appealing by the day." I jokingly say.

　　Ding!

　　Cirilia: "A ding&" She said with a giggle.

　　Selenia: "You kept that thing active? Am I still under your investigation?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.

　　Cirilia: "Frankly, if you do anything else crazy, I might have to permanently watch over you. You see, the last case of someone like you, well, they almost destroyed this world." She said with a serious tone.

　　Selenia: "Awa& that sounds scary& My perfect world would just be me relaxing in a nice estate all day, every day." I say with a wistful tone.

　　Cirilia: "No ding& Well, I have business to attend to, Private Selenia. Please carry out your normal duties." She said before getting onto Semi.

　　Selenia: "Yes mam! Have a safe flight back home!" I reply with a salute.

　　Cirilia: "Cute&" She said with a giggle before quickly flying away on her dragon.

　　Aw& she called me cute! Though, she probably meant that as me being a cute kid. If she was attracted to me, I would harshly judge her character. Speaking of character, mine is changing by the day&

　　Rana: "Selenia!" She said before giving me a hug.

　　Selenia: "Hello to you too, Rana." I struggled out a reply as she crushes my face in her breasts.

　　Rana: "I was so scared when they came to take you away& I tried to wake you up, but you kept sleeping like a baby." She said with a remorseful tone.

　　Selenia: "It`s fine, Rana. They just wanted to make sure that I wasn`t some kind of spy." I reply with a smile.

　　Rana demanded that we return to my room for food. At the mention of said food, my stomach agreed with Rana`s suggestion for me. With a red face, I walked back to my room with Rana. Oddly, Radahn was there, and food was already prepared. I wonder what he wants? Ah, I`ll figure that out once I stuff my face full of food!
