“Please, accept our sincere apologies!”

“Haha, it’s totally fine. Stuff like this happens to me all the time.”

It seemed it wasn’t just me, the inn employees had also never heard of a dragon trespassing in a hot spring. When I left the baths to report the situation, I found inn staff all kowtowing before me.

It turned out the sky-blue dragon was one of those hot spring dragons that Liz had been going on about. They were indigenous to the mountains near Suls and their name was derived from their affinity for hot springs, but they usually hid out in the mountains and rarely approached human settlements. Of course they didn’t. You couldn’t run an inn if you had dragons dropping by for the occasional visit.

The inn staff knew of the dragons, but most of them hadn’t even seen one before. They all looked at the unconscious dragon with trepidation.

“This hot spring dragon is still young,” said a woman in her forties. She was the inn’s oldest staff member and its proprietress. “The young ones are very inquisitive. Maybe it saw that visitors weren’t coming because of those bandits and its curiosity got the better of it.”

“I see. Well, it happens sometimes.”

Accidents were normal for hunters. Run-ins with roving dragons, roving ogres, roving cyclopes, and roving treasure vaults had left me prepared for any mishap. My luck was just that awful. Sometimes I became outright delusional and began to think they were attracted to me or something.

It could’ve been worse, it could’ve been an adult dragon. If any non-hunters had been present, someone might have been killed. But there were no fatalities, so the inn just needed to focus on making sure something like this didn’t happen again.

What I was concerned about was Tino’s mental health. Even after putting on some clothes, she still had that exhausted look in her eyes. I repeatedly tried speaking to her, but she never responded with her usual smile.

The battle happened spontaneously so I thought it was unavoidable that she had to fight the dragon while naked. Not to mention, I had done my best to look away. I guess it was still a shocking experience for a girl her age. It seemed my senses had grown dull due to Liz’s nonchalance.

“Oh, that’s right,” Sitri said with an inspired clap of her hands. “Let’s have boiled dragon tonight!”

This pulled Tino from her sullen silence.

“Huh? You’re going to eat it?!” she cried.

Dragon wasn’t a common dish. The creatures were rare and their blood, flesh, and bones all sold for high prices. But our party wasn’t one to worry too much over profits. If we caught a dragon, eating a portion of it was the norm. I don’t remember what started that habit, but our feral children (Luke and Liz) would eat anything, including centipedes and spiders, so they may as well eat dragons too.

“You like dragon too, don’t you, Krai? This is Tino’s first slain dragon!” Sitri said to me in a cheery voice.

Tino looked bewildered. It seemed Sitri was trying to turn this into a positive experience so Tino might forget the bad parts.
