Chapter 115.: 115.

Rubeum and Fay fell asleep, so we all went to bed that day .

The dragons prepared a room for each of us .

The god-beasts and I shared the same room .

「Carefully now…」

I gently lay Fay and Rubeum on the bed, as they were already sleeping .

Shiro was playing around, so it would be troubling if that woke up Fay and Rubeum .

「Shiro, Fluffy . Be quiet so as not to wake Rubeum and Fay . 」

「「……」」

Shiro and Fluffy nodded silently .

I gently picked up Shiro and Fluffy and put them on the bed .

After that, I also got onto the bed and slept .

The next morning, breakfast was already prepared when I got up .

As Rubeum’s companions, the dragons welcomed us all with a lot of hospitality .

After breakfast, Dolflare came before Rubeum and got on his knees .

「Holy Monarch . 」

「The breakfast was delicious . Kyuru」

「Hahaa . I am most happy to receive those words from the Holy Monarch . 」

「So, what is it? Is there something you want? Kyuru-kyuru」

「Yes . Is it possible to bestow blessing upon us…?」

Dolflare requested a little anxiously .

The nearby dragons were also nervous .

「Ok, but how do I do blessings? Kyuru?」

「Rubeum-dono . About the blessing of the Dragon God…」

The priest of Dragon God, Dion, taught Rubeum carefully .

You would need to chant a fairly complex invocation, while performing equally complex established gestures, it seems .

「…kyuruu」

Rubeum looked a little anxious . It sounded quite complicated so he probably doesn’t feel confident .

「Well, I explained it at length, but it’s a blessing that we priests usually conduct . 」

「Kyuru?」

「Rubeum-dono is the Apostle of the Dragon God . The representative on Earth . You don’t need any rituals or the sort . 」

「Kyuru? So what should I do?」

「Perhaps you only need to pray to Dragon God-sama while touching their head . 」

「Is that all I have to do?」

「Of course . Rubeum-dono is the Apostle of the Dragon God . The kin and child of God . The representative on Earth, after all . 」

Only a handful of parents care about strict etiquette when asked by their children .

「If so, I can do it . Is that all right? Kyuru」

「Of course, Holy Monarch . 」

Both Dolflare and the nearby dragons looked extremely happy .

Then I took Rubeum to another room .

And in front of Rubeum whom I was carrying, all the dragons of Dolflare’s household lined up .

Rubeum touched Dolflare’s head and,

「Dragon God-sama . Please bless Dolflare . Kyuru」

「Thank you very much . 」

The next dragon came forth .

Unlike Dolflare, it was in its dragon form .

「What’s your name? Kyuru」

「G r a a a a」

Only a few dragons can speak human language like Dolflare .

But Rubeum is also a dragon . He seems to have understood that growl .

「I see . G r r r r」

「G r r」

Rubeum bestowed blessings while talking with the dragons in the dragon language .

After an hour or so, Rubeum finished bestowing every dragon with a blessing .

Dolflare and the dragons expressed their gratitude again and again .

The blessing of the Apostle seems to be very important to the believers .

「Thank you very much . I can die anytime now without regrets . 」

「I will never forget this for the rest of my life . 」

「G r r r g r r r」

「You can’t die yet . Rubeum will be sad . Kyuru」

「Hahaa, then I will do my best to survive . 」

「I will survive even if I have to risk my life . 」

「G r r g r r」

「Glad you are all happy . Kyuru」

Rubeum and the dragons talked about such things in a peaceful atmosphere .

But I sensed something strange .

「Nn? Wait a minute . 」

「What is it, Will? Kyuru」

「The number of dragons speaking human language has increased, hasn’t it?」

If I remember correctly, the only person who could speak the human language was Dolflare .

「Eh? Really? Kyuru」

「Oh!」Dolflare said .

「Is that so?」

「G r r g r r」

「I’m talking about the dragon who said ”Is that so?”!」

「…Is it me?」

A pretty big dragon with a magnificent body came before us .

「Have you been able to speak human language since before?」

「No… Come to think of it, I can suddenly speak human language . What a surprise . 」

The dragon came to speak the human language without even noticing it .

Is it the effect of blessing?

If so, the effect of the Apostle’s blessing is too instantaneous .

「It’s a miracle of the Dragon God . 」

Dolflare nodded with a marvelled face . He seems to be convinced that it was due to Rubeum’s blessing .

「As expected of Apostle-sama . 」

「Aa, I was surprised . To think he’ll be able to speak human language . 」

「It’s an incredible miracle . As expected of the Holy Monarch-sama . 」

「W-Wait a minute . 」

「What’s wrong? Disciple-dono」

「Are there now more dragons who can speak the human language?」

The other dragons started speaking the human language spontaneously .
