Thinking that a giant ancient dragon would likely cause panic, it was decided to go land in the woods, where the trees were blocking the view. While we stayed Tatsushirou quickly returned to the Funeral Volcano. Just a few seconds after he pushed off the ground, he was out of sight.
I put my parasites inside of Tatsushirou, so that at any given time when I need him, I will be able to contact him.
By travelling on the Great Skeleton Centipede, we quickly arrived at the gates of the Royal Capital.
I have not seen it in quite a while, but the gate to the capital was quite impressive. You could feel its history; it was a magnificent structure.
At the gate, the young guard who was in charge of the gate looked familiar; we were able to enter quickly because I used the pass that I received from the Tomboy Princess.
Inside the capital we continued in the Great Skeleton Centipede.
It was more likely to cause panic and confusion which I didn't wish for, but it seems I did not need to worry about it.
The Great Skeleton Centipede hides us well; it is pretty hard to discern us from the outside. However the Skeleton Spider service has become more and more popular and the citizens knows which organization it belongs to because of the drivers and advertisements.
So when looking at the special [Great Skeleton Centipede] even the children could have guessed to whom it belongs.
In other words, it seemed that even if we hid, everyone would know that we came home.
Among the locals who had gathered to see us, here and there were visible silhouettes of fanatics, regardless of their age, falling to their knees.
I was plagued by the thought of what would happen should they suddenly see our appearances.
When we go out, I decided to put on a long mercenary coat with a hood for the time being.
Arriving at the house, I was finally able to hug Auro, Argento, Oniwaka, and Redhead. I have been communicating with them through the clones, but it is important to see them with my own eyes. After having celebrated our home-coming, I thoroughly enjoyed the dishes the cook prepared.
Since they are so tired after making the dishes, we will let them taste dragon meat next time.
