Chapter 175: Isn't he cute?

With my new sword in my inventory, I left the mansion to meet Mikoto so that we could continue her training. I was excited since today I would make my advances and try to win her over.

I'm a little nervous because I don't know if she'll get angry if I try to do something.

"Well, I'm sure she likes me at least a little. I think she won't deny my advances. I need to do it carefully so as not to scare her."

I walked through the streets and arrived near the portal. The square near the portal where I had arranged to meet Mikoto was more crowded than usual. All the adventurers had decided to go to the dungeon today.

Of course, I'm exaggerating.

"Mikoto, over here," I called out to Mikoto, who was looking for me. A smile appeared on her face when she saw me, and she ran over to me. When she was facing me, she bowed her head to greet me.

I did the same and then smiled. "We should get in line."

"I'm sorry, I should have stayed in line while waiting for you. Now it'll take us a while to get into the dungeon."

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure it'll be quicker than last time." We walked under the gazes of the adventurers and got in line. I noticed that the adventurers before us were nervous about my presence.

I just smiled at them to calm them down. When they saw me smile in a friendly way, the man took a deep breath.

"It's a pleasure, my name is George." He decided to talk to me. However, Mikoto thought he was talking to her, and she introduced herself.

"It's a pleasure, my name is Mikoto." The man looked at Mikoto and smiled bitterly, and I laughed.

"He was talking to me, Mikoto," I said low in his ear, and her face turned red.

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

"Don't worry. You don't need to introduce yourselves anyway, I already know you two."

"Hm? I understand you know Luan, but why do you know me?"

"I know you because I saw you together in the dungeon a few days ago. Besides, you're a bit famous around town."

"I am?"

"A bit."

"It's a new sword I got yesterday. It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"It's beautiful, I've never seen anything like it before! Can I hold it?"

"Sure." I handed the sword to Mikoto, and she began to swing it.

"It's so light, it's like a katana. The blacksmith who's selling you these swords is very talented."

"Yes, he is." I smiled bitterly.

"But the most important thing is this." I took the sword and injected it with mana. When I did, the dragon was summoned. The dragon was still the same size. He hadn't grown, probably because I hadn't used the sword yet.

"WAAAAA!" Mikoto shouted and backed away. "What's that? Is it a monster?"

"Yes, it's a dragon."

"A dragon? How can it fit inside your sword? That doesn't make sense."

"It's a special magic sword. When I use it, I can summon this little dragon that will help me during battles. Isn't he cute?"

"Cute? Well... He's a beautiful dragon, but I don't know if I think he's cute..."

Upon hearing Mikoto, the dragon whimpered as if saddened. His expression changed, too. Mikoto's words had hurt him. I saw this and moved closer, touching the dragon's head.

Pyuu~~

When I did, the dragon made a cute sound, and a smile appeared.

"See, I told you he is cute."
