Seeing this, Hulim Heyerar silently held the roasted wing closer to Little Semiris’s mouth.
After a mont of obvious struggle, Little Semiris couldn’t resist any longer—she took a huge bite out of the wing.
“Mmm, mmm! So delicious! So deli~cious!”
Watching her greedy expression, Hulim let go of the wing.
Little Semiris imdiately hugged it to her chest.
“Th-this ti...... Little Semiris, will forgive Hulim~!”
“Don’t eat too fast even if it’s good—you might choke.”
With that, Hulim returned to the campfire and picked up her own piece of roasted at.
“I won’t~! Cough...... Cough!”
“Mmph! Mmph!”
Little Semiris patted her chest, struggling to swallow the at stuck in her throat.
“Ah! I almost choked to death~!”
I told you to be careful......
“Mmm!”
Undeterred, Little Semiris took another big bite of the wing—she hadn’t learned a thing.
Stuffing her face, she mumbled a question to Hulim.
“Mmm, hey Hulim, what kind of at is this? It tastes better than the grilled at before! Mmm!”
“Oh, that...... It’s Snowball’s at.”
“I see~, so it’s......???”
Little Semiris froze, holding the wing like a statue.
“Huh...... What’s wrong again?”
Little Semiris stared at Hulim with her mouth full of at, then glanced down at the wing in her arms.
“Wahh——!”
She burst into tears.
“Why are you crying again? Is Snowball’s at not good?”
“Wahh——!!!"
Little Semiris cried even louder......
“Hulim is the worst!!! Little Semiris will never forgive you again! Mmm~, so good, wahh......”
Hulim watched as Little Semiris cried while shoveling more at into her mouth, falling silent.
“Waaaa...... Hulim, an! But...... Snowball, so delicious...... Waaaa...... Mmm~, mmm......”

More than ten minutes later......
Little Semiris lay spread-eagled on the ground with a stuffed, round belly, eyes closed.
“Hey~, Little Semiris, are you asleep?”
Hulim poked her with a finger.
Little Semiris lifted her right hand and swatted at Hulim’s finger.
“an, grilled at, Snowball, delicious...... Little Semiris can eat more!”
She really falls asleep right after eating......
Watching Little Semiris mutter happily in her sleep, Hulim silently pulled her hand back.
“She’s just like a kid......”
Sohow,
looking at Little Semiris now, Hulim felt like their roles had reversed—she was the one taking care of the “teacher” who’d guided her years ago.
......
The next day.
“Hey, Hulim, are we really going to raid the dragon’s lair for treasure today~?”
Learning what Hulim planned to do, Little Semiris flew around excitedly.
She already forgot what happened yesterday......
Hulim sighed inwardly and nodded.
“That’s right. The ti is right. We still can’t beat it, but escaping from the lair should be no problem now. So it’s ti to collect so interest.”
“Yay! Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt! Raid the dragon’s lair for treasure~!”
After so ti,
Hulim and Little Semiris arrived near the Giant Red Dragon’s lair.
“Hulim, Hulim! When do we go in? Little Semiris can’t wait!”
“Not yet. Let’s check the situation first......”
Hulim stopped the eager Little Semiris and continued observing from her hiding spot.
Over the past few months,
Hulim had ventured to the surface many tis.
She’d figured out most of the dragon’s daily routine—when it left the lair and when it returned.
Of course, the reconnaissance hadn’t been smooth. She’d been spotted by the dragon several tis and chased back underground.
Each incident only added to Hulim’s frustration with the dragon......
“Let’s go. It’s gone now. We’ll sneak in.”
Confirming the dragon hadn’t skipped its daily outing (a rare occurrence), Hulim gestured for Little Semiris to follow as they crept toward the lair......
As they approached, Hulim felt a special magic field surrounding the area.
“So this is why the Wind ssenger Birds disappeared before......”
She guessed this was the dragon’s unique defense chanism. Ordinary creatures would flee at the sense of this magic, keeping the lair safe.
But such a trick obviously couldn’t stop a human and a fairy......
Inside the dragon’s lair,
Little Semiris rushed excitedly toward the depths.
“Dragon treasure! Little Semiris is here!”
However, it didn’t take long for a cry of surprise to ring out.
“Huh——, why is this happening!?”
“What’s wrong? Did sothing happen?”
Hulim hurried over.
She found Little Semiris hovering in the air, looking disappointed.
Following her gaze, Hulim understood why.
There was no mountain of dragon treasure like they’d imagined.
Only a few scattered tal items lay around—worth almost nothing. No one would believe this was the lair of a giant dragon; it was far too shabby for a dragon’s lair......
But then again,
Hulim thought it made sense.
The dragon had only built its lair here a few months ago. In such a short ti, how much treasure could it have collected......
But why had this dragon chosen to nest here in the first place?
Had it not had a lair before?
No......
That was impossible. This was a Rank A dragon!
A creature that had lived for so many years to reach this rank couldn’t have been sleeping in trees all this ti, right?
“Little Semiris...... That thing only built its lair here a few months ago. It probably hasn’t had ti to collect treasure yet.”
“Huh? Is that true!? ”
“Well......”
“I think that’s it.”
“And......”
Hulim glanced at the few scattered treasures in the lair.
“While there’s less than we expected, it’s not nothing. Let’s take these with us.”
“Hmm...... Okay~!”
Little Semiris agreed.
Together, they gathered all the scattered treasure and stuffed it into a backpack.
“Alright, let’s leave quickly!”
Glancing back at the now-empty lair, Hulim urged Little Semiris to retreat.
The two hurried toward the exit.
But as soon as they stepped out of the dragon’s lair,
a shadow fell from the sky.
Boom!
The ground shook violently.
A massive red dragon landed right in front of Hulim and Little Semiris.
“......”
Hulim slowly looked up.
She saw the dragon’s face twisted with rage.
Why did it co back early?
