The little dragon, who was fiercely waving their huge tail and snorting their nose, glared at us.

“The cub doesn’t seem very reassured.”

“Sir, please refrain from your tendency to be wary of anything you’re unfamiliar with. Do you think I’ve seen small dragons only once or twice?

“Besides that, how is that information relevant to the dragon growing up safely?”

“I don’t know why you’re asking me that because what I’ve said was not for the purpose of addressing concerns over the cub’s wellbeing. I merely said that emotional stability is key when young dragons are suffering from growing pains. P&G also helps take care of the cub by feeding them, but they’re not always there to do so…..No, actually Princess, what is the connection between P&G and the dragon?”

The subjects of the conversation, Popo and Griffin, were excitedly rolling around in a pile of jewels.

Whether it was due to the amount of accumulated jewels in the vicinity or simply because they were distracted from playing around, P&G had not been paying attention to what was going on even though it seemed that they had originally dragged us down here because the cub was sick.

Izek, who shot a look of disapproval towards my runaway friends, gave a bitter sigh.

“I don’t think the cub is a dragon”.

“…….What?”

“No matter how much I look at it, the cub must be putting up an act on purpose. The obese lizard cub just wants to live their life being petted and having someone catch their food for them. Geez, why do people these days commit the crime of coveting any man’s wife?”

After he came to a strange conclusion that I couldn’t make sense of, the finest paladin of the North seemed to be in a state of mental confusion.

I slowly raised my hand and patted his limp, drooping shoulders.

“No one told you that you had to take responsibility and take care of them”

“It doesn’t look like it, but I don’t want to do it! But if I don’t do it, then who would? There are many that want to harm the cub! Damn, as one of the Holy Guardians of the North, I will summarily arrest any blasphemous bast*rds who dare to interfere with the cub’s daily bread, even if they are priests!”

(T/N: I wasn’t sure if the “daily bread” part is supposed to be a hidden pun as a reference to God since….Izek…is a paladin….so I just left it as is in the event that it’s just a normal phrase that’s used everyday in either SK or whatever time period setting HTGMHOMS is supposed to be in. After spending an hour stuck on this damn section, I give up and if anyone isn’t clear, tsundere Izek is planning to start taking care of the dragon by feeding him and etc. like a foster parent)

I’m not sure how this logic came about, but it seems like he’s genuinely worried.

I liked the idea so much that I couldn’t help but laugh at the terrible reality of Izek being a nanny for a grumpy little dragon.

“I think the cub will be happy if we both take good care of them and give them the opportunity to grow up safe and sound. It will be like we’re their parents.”

“…… Is that so?”

I can’t even begin to describe how the legendary Knight Commander of the Longinus Paladins, who was said to have encountered two young adult dragons, began to look at the other knights with an incredulous expression.

Sir Barons immediately turned his trembling gaze away and opened his mouth in a solemn manner to address the knights standing on the other side.

“Are you here to fool around?”

Oops, I had entirely forgotten the presence of the other three.

I don’t know why they’ve been so quiet as if they’re asleep this whole time.
