Chapter 524 – Side Story – Passing the Wedding Invitation (3)

The great forest is wide and Nidhogg is ruined. But anyway, isn’t it just a matter of arriving at the World Tree?

Filled with motivation upon hearing that there were three leaves, I unwrapped the polymorph.

Hwaaaaa!

A bright light bursts out from my body, and in an instant, the body of a dragon, not a human, reveals itself.

At the same time, a slowly rising sense of omnipotence and all sorts of undirected impulses.

The system called this a sign of madness and warned that if the dragon form was maintained for a long time, it would lose its temper and become a rampaging beast.

However, the frenzy was controlled through compensation right away.

Anyway, that’s why I was reluctant to become like this for a while, but after some experimentation, I was able to find out the identity of the madman.

The dragon’s strong body had strong instincts, but my mind was not that strong.

This is probably why most long-lived dragons are somewhat crazy.

By the time Jackie Chan ascended to the rank of Grand Wizard, the mind had grown along with the body, so it wouldn’t have been a big problem…

Due to the nature of the Dragon Heart, which gets stronger just by breathing, the body would continue to become stronger, and the moment one enters the realm of the ancient dragon, the body begins to surpass the mind.

That’s why they develop anger management problems, show extreme obsession with one thing, and sometimes become wild dragons that run wild indiscriminately.

I think the reason Fafnir seemed relatively healthy in his later years was because he participated in the war of the gods for a long time, and saw and felt many things in the process, and grew mentally.

Well, it’s not that important now. I only need to know two things.

One is that it is okay to stay in dragon form for a day or two without the system.

The other thing is that one day, when I reach the level of an archmage, the time limit will be further relaxed.

-So, get in first. It will fly all the way to the World Tree.

“The thought of riding my master makes me excited!”

“Carla… Do you feel that way during this time?”

“I’m at the front! Master! “Can I go on top of your head instead of your neck?”

Iris jumps in place as if she can’t control her excitement. He chuckled as he looked at her flat, soft breasts that didn’t even move in contrast to her gently fluttering hair.

-You always did that every time I gave you a ride. If other people say it’s okay, it’s okay to go up.

Unfortunately, I ended up becoming a dragon and had to give up my dream of becoming a dragon rider… I can understand the sentiment that it looks better standing on your head than on your neck.

Moreover, isn’t Iris from the era when dragons flew in the sky? She might be especially romantic.

For reference, Iona and Iris are about 200 years older, so there is a generation gap? It just seems to me that he’s not interested in hair because of the nape fetish that’s typical for vampires.

Iris rushed over and stood in front of the others. His shy posture is with both hands turned backwards, one toe lightly rubbing against the ground, and looking up at an angle of about 45 degrees.

Everyone giggled and gave in to the cuteness that wasn’t cute. Then, as if she had been waiting, Iris climbed up with flying magic.

“Master! If things continue like this, I’m sure everyone will be surprised!”

-Then should I drop you off midway?

“No! “You said you were looking forward to it!”

Above my head. Standing between horns and horns. Iris crossed her arms in a confident posture and looked at the World Tree visible from anywhere in the forest.

On the other hand, she seemed to be trying to put on a very solemn and serious expression, but the corners of her mouth were constantly twitching, making it seem like she was barely holding back from fluttering.

Everyone shook their heads at the sight, but with happy expressions they climbed on my neck and back, and only after confirming this did they spread their wings.

-We’re leaving, so hold on tight.

It’s really amazing. It is said that dragons are originally so proud that they do not let just anyone ride on them…

I actually like it when I’m riding my girls like this. And in a few more years, I will have my children on board too.

For some reason, I kicked the ground with a slightly itchy heart.

***

I didn’t realize it because I just teleported if the distance was a bit far, but the dragon flew faster than I thought.

We crossed that large forest in just a few hours and arrived near the World Tree.

But there was one unexpected problem.

-… They are all people who welcome us, right?

“Uhm. “It seems so.”

-… It seems like it means to land there.

“It seems so. “I guess Circulating Life is very happy to see you.”

-Thank you, but this is a bit…”

He said this in an embarrassed voice and looked down at the ground. Since other elves must have seen them flying over the forest, I understand that they knew about it and prepared in advance.

However, was it really necessary to transform the branches of the World Tree to create a circular form of life? And the statue instructs you to land where your hands are together.

They even placed a statue of me on the top of their palm and had elves holding flowers waiting around it…

When we all picked up the flowers and shook them, they bloomed in the shape of my face on the palm of our hands.

This is too burdensome… !

Iona nodded as she saw me flying around in circles, unable to land.

“Of course. Yandel students seem reluctant to do this. … Be honest though! “It’s a little good, isn’t it?”

-What? Whether you like it or not, it’s a good thing.

When someone welcomes you, makes you happy, and thanks you, how can you not like it? But it’s kind of weird if you hit my face like that.

As I was sighing, a branch protruded from the main body of the World Tree and pointed towards my palm.

Following the circular motion of life telling us to come down quickly, we slowly slowed down and landed.

Kuung-!

The feeling of rough wood hitting the floor with a heavy sound. I’m waiting for everyone on board to come down… For some reason, Iris doesn’t even show any signs of falling.

-Iris?

“Shhh!”

When she called out to her in confusion, Iris put her finger to her mouth and told her to be quiet.

After I waited, Iris stood above me and looked around at her elves who had come to meet her. Now I see that she is with the Queen and the Prime Minister.

The eyes of many people were focused on Iris, who was standing still alone.

Iris had always looked up because of her small stature, but at this moment, she was looking down from a higher place than anyone else.

“Hmm…”

Iris trembles her body and makes suspicious moaning noises. Then she suddenly raised her arms.

Then, I don’t know why, but the elves cheered.

Wow!

This time, she even poses a simple pose to elicit a reaction.

Wow!!

“Look, have you seen it, master? “So much cheering!”

-…

Iris, who reacts even more violently, smiles with the happiest expression on her face.

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since she was cheered this much by the elves since she was kicked out of her position as head of the Magic Tower and became a slave.

She takes down the ugly prosperity, and it’s safe to say that this is the first time, except when she reveals that she was (not) framed for being a slave.

Iris, who has lived most of her life for the glory of the elves, seems to have many feelings about her.

But if I leave her like this, it feels like she’s going to dance on her head, so I guess I’ll have to stop here.

-Do not use flying magic.

Her nudge flicked her head and threw Iris into the air.

“To?”

Iris fluttering in the air with a foolish sound. Now she doesn’t even have a slave imprint, but she faithfully followed my orders and didn’t use any magic.

A small body that naturally falls. She quickly cast her polymorph before Iris reached her bottom.

As I received Iris in her princess embrace with my human body, her voice burst out in a way that could not even be compared to before.

Wow!!!

She thought that Iris would definitely like it too, so she grinned and checked her face in her arms.

“Did you have to take it all like that, master…?” !”

“No…”

For some reason, there was Iris, puffing out her cheeks and pouting.

“Are you saying that people cheered me on?”

“… Joy!”

When a person has nothing to say, she closes her mouth. And when she has nothing to say, she puffs out her cheeks as if they are about to burst. MemoMemo.

I poked her cheeks, which were trembling because I had blown on her so much.

“Wooooo…”

Iris regains her original softness with the sound of her balloon deflating. Still hugging her and comforting her, she headed to where the Queen and Prime Minister were.

“It’s been a while, Your Highness Nariel. And His Excellency Milone.”

“Has it been a while? Elves’ sense of time is a little different from humans… Lol. Oh, are you a dragon now? Anyway, I heard the story! You said that you not only defeated the ugly prosperous, but also defeated all other evil spirits, right? It’s truly amazing! How long had she been waiting for her mother to visit? .”

“Her Majesty the Queen. Shh.”

“… Town!”

Ho’s young eyes. Innocent voice. Nariel, who still seemed like a young queen who had no idea what was going on in the world, continued to pour out words…

When Prime Minister Milone tries to keep her quiet so that no one around her can hear, Nariel covers her mouth.

Hmm. I’m glad they still seem to be getting along well.

As I was nodding to myself with a happy heart, Milone continued to greet me.

“Long time no see, Duke Lindelheit. Should we call it different now?”

“Oh, I decided to just keep working on it, so it’s okay. I don’t like troublesome things…”

Although his words were slurred, Milone clearly understood what he meant and smiled slightly.

“From now on, we, Alfheim, will continue to be the duke’s allies, and there will be no misinterpretation of that meaning.”

“It would be the same for me too.”

I tried to shake hands lightly, but because Iris was holding me, I just exchanged glances.

Iris, caught in the middle, wriggled as if she was very uncomfortable… Yeah, I won’t let you go.

Nariel snooped around, wondering if Iris had become quiet in my arms, but Milone seemed to be not interested at all and continued speaking in a calm voice.

“I didn’t expect you to come here so suddenly, so I’m a little unprepared, but I’ve prepared a lot of things for you. First of all…”

“First of all, are you guiding me to the circulating life?”

“You’re right. However, this time too, Your Highness will do it, not me. … Majesty?”

“Omg!”

Nariel gasps in surprise when she is suddenly called. Now I see that her hand is gently holding Iris’s finger.

“Uh… Although Iris is a mite, she is not really a baby, Your Majesty.”

“Oh, no! I’ve never thought of such a rude thing! “In the first place, Iris is like my grandmother?!”

“Will do… ?!”

Iris Sylvan Vanatis.

517 years old.

It is a time when one is sensitive to age.
