Preparing for their Education PAGE 2 Milka’s eyes shone as she stood in the laboratory. “Oh, you’re going to teach us?” “Exactly. You can call me teacher from now on.” “Okay! Thank you, teacher!” “Good. I expect you to study hard.” After that, I told Milka to bring the other apprentices to the…
Making Philly’s Laboratory PAGE 2 Eric and Goran ate lunch before going back home. There was a lot that they would have to deal with, including the Most High King and the dragon ruins. I had great respect for what they did. As things became more relaxed, I asked Tama and Philly, “How…
Old Men Making Arrangements PAGE 2 While I would be keeping the machine, we couldn’t leave it in the garden. I had to think of a proper place to install it. And so I returned it to the magic bag for now. Leaving it in there at all times might be the best way to…
The Dragon Machine PAGE 2 As we all talked and waited, Eric returned from the palace. “Ah, you’re finally back.” “The secret passage really is useful.” “Anyway, there’s something I want you to see. Eric and Philly, you two follow me.” “What is it?” “I know what it is.” “Shia and the rest of…
Philly’s Odd Way of Talking PAGE 2 Charlotte watched and fidgeted as her younger sister threw her arms around Grulf’s fur. Marie was hugging him tightly and petting the wolf to her heart’s content.

Eric and Philly PAGE 2 I wasn’t about to apologize. Eric should feel all the embarrassment and then some. “Ah, Eric. I’m glad to see you here.” “Uh, yes.” “So, Milka. The really amazing thing about Eric is…” “Now-now-now. Ruck, wait a minute…” “What is it, Eric? I’m just getting to the good part.…
Lunch Meeting PAGE 2 And so I explained everything from the beginning. “I went out on a walk with Nia, Lord Gerberga and Grulf…” Kathe’s bothersome roar, searching the ruins, killing the vampires. I explained it all. Serulis asked with a serious expression, “So, the vampires are after these ancient ruins.” “Yes.…
The Walk Back Home PAGE 2 After Kathe left, we started to walk back towards the capital. Nia and Grulf were not nearly as cheerful as during the beginning of the walk. Grulf was especially tired. “Grulf. Are you alright?” “Grr.” “What about you, Nia?” “I’m fine!” It was an hours walk back…
Talking with Kathe PAGE 2 I would just have to inspect the machine later. “Kathe. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to borrow this machine. I have to take a better look at it.” “Hmmm. But ruins should be left as they are…” “But if I did, then don’t you think the vampires will come…

Interrogation with the Vampire PAGE 2 The vampire had destroyed the mirror instead of attacking me. What could be so important that he’d risk his like that to break it? “Hehe.” The vampire then looked at me and grinned. And so I cut off his smiling head with the Devil King Sword. …
Exploring the Ruin PAGE 2 The goblin head rolled. It was still holding the stone club as its body fell backward. “You worthless bastard!” The vampire spat. And then the part below its chest and the part above its shoulders began to turn into bats. He was trying to escape. “Not so…
Battle with the Goblins PAGE 2 Carefully, but quickly, we made our way through the ruins. Grulf took the rear. While he was a pup, Grulf wouldn’t allow the goblins to surprise him. I kept looking back to make sure that Nia and Grulf were still behind me. “…” Nia was following silently…
The Ruin Raiding Goblins PAGE 2 After flying for a while, Kathe said, “I can see it now.” “It’s very quick when you fly.” “Of course it is!” It really felt like we had barely been flying at all. But it would have been over an hour on foot. Dragons were very fast.…
Kathe the Great Dragon PAGE 2 Nia and Grulf looked surprised when they heard the roar. “Groof-groof!” “It’s so loud.” “Indeed. I feel like we’d be able to hear it in the city.” In any case, we had better run. “Let’s go.” “Understood!” “Groof!” “Cluck!” Lord Gerberga on the other hand,…
