Chapter Four: An Escort and a Means of Transportation

I bid goodbye to Raiya and the gang and headed back to my table in the drinking hall, where I outlined the situation to Celes.

“So if it’s at all possible, I’d like to ask you to act as my protection and accompany me to the royal capital.”

“Hm, so you wish for me to escort you there?” Celes asked contemplatively.

“Yeah. Would that be possible?”

“As I have already said to you, I am your slave. If you order me to protect you, then I shall do so, even if it costs me my life,” she declared.

“I’m not ordering you to do anything. I’m asking for your help,” I clarified.

“I do not see the difference,” she said, looking slightly confused.

“Master, you should not trust a demon to keep you safe,” Dramom interjected, throwing a dirty look in Celes’s direction.

“Well, I need someone to go with me to the capital as my protection. It’s pretty dangerous out there, you know. I’ve been told that there have been tons of bandit and brigand attacks on the highway lately,” I said.

“Master, might I inquire as to what exactly these ‘bandits’ and ‘brigands’ are?” Dramom asked, her head tilted to one side in confusion.

“I would also like to know,” Celes interjected. “Are they monsters exclusive to the hume realms?”

“No, they’re not monsters. They’re humes who refuse to respect the rules of society and attack people to steal their valuables,” I explained.

“You mean they attack their own tribesmen?” Celes said, blinking with surprise. “Now that I think about it, I believe my grandmother once told me it was common for humes to fight and kill each other. I never imagined it might be true, though.”

“I see the humes have not changed in their ways. Even now, they still fight each other. Truly a pity,” Dramom sighed, shaking her head.

Well, it seemed neither demons nor dragons approved of intraspecies fighting. Get your act together, humes. And the same goes for you, people of Earth.

“But I think I understand now,” Dramom said. “Many dangers await you on your travels, master. And so...” She paused and brought a hand up to her chest before softly but resolutely declaring, “I shall accompany you and be your protection.”

“I appreciate the offer, but you have Suama to look after. I can’t ask a mom with a young child to just leave her with someone and come with me on such a long trip,” I said.

“Then we can bring my daughter along,” she suggested.

I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. “What?”

“Yes! That would solve the problem, would it not?” She clapped her hands together and beamed at me, clearly very proud of herself for coming up with what she deemed to be a workable solution.

“Uh, well, that’s a little...” I trailed off, unsure what to say to this idea.

Suama may have had the ability to shapeshift into a human, but she was still a dragon, and while I was sure Dramom would more or less know how
