AFTER THE SECOND TRIAL, we rested that evening in Raigan’s mansion. Once we finished breakfast the next morning, Raigan—who was looking somewhat haggard—told us about our scores for the second trial.

“…I reported what happened to the Holy Dragons to double-check, but what you did isn’t officially a problem. Be grateful we dragonkin are so forgiving.”

We bowed our heads and I let out a big sigh after hearing that. “Thank you…”

I was utterly relieved. If this had turned into some big thing, then we couldn’t have kept our promise to Ramiel. Not to mention, I was afraid we’d have to compensate them for the damage.

Pomera looked relieved too. Surprisingly, Philia also realized this had become a big issue and looked particularly remorseful.

“We compared the color of your Dragon Eye Crystals to the standard and…the three of you scored 1,000 points. Kanata now has 2,000 points, and the two ladies have 1,500 each. Be glad,” continued Raigan.

“R-really?! Yay! Philia did it! She’s gonna be a Royal Dragon!” cried Philia as she beamed, but Raigan looked stricken. To my surprise, Philia successfully read his reaction and went silent, her face turned down.

“Um…sorry to ask this now, but it would be bad if we accidentally got the score for Royal Dragon, wouldn’t it?” I asked. “Could we just say I got 2,000 points total and let me go see the Dragon King?”

The treasure that the Dragon King had would surely be helpful in the fight against Naiarotop. But I didn’t really want to cause unnecessary drama with the dragonkin. The simple solution would be to just take the Holy Dragon title, meet with the Dragon King, and try negotiating with him.

“B-but that would be an insult to our sacred Trials!” said Raigan.

“To be honest, it seems as if the outcome is already clear. Or is the third trial that much different from the first and second?” I asked.

Raigan went quiet. The third trial must not be all that different from the first and second. He had believed we’d fail the second and now didn’t seem to expect too much from the third.

“It’s okay… I’ll, uh, try not to get over 100 points…” I said.

“…The Trials are sacred. I can’t let you hold back. I’ll go with you and make sure you try. If I think you’re not giving it your all, then I’ll make you do it over again. Ten times. A hundred times. As many as it takes.” Raigan frowned as he spoke.

“Y-you don’t have to pout like that…”

“I am not pouting!” he shouted, striking the table.

I knew this before, but this guy…was a pain to deal with. The only thing he disliked more than outsiders getting a high score was if they held back at all in the Trials.

“Okay…” I said. “Could we leave now, then? I want to meet with the Dragon King as soon as possible.”

“Fine… It’s on the fringes of the Garden, so follow me. Just get it over quickly with 1,000 points, or 2,000 points, or whatever,” Raigan said weakly.
