...
The little dragon explains the situation to her father.
"I see. I now understand what's going on."
Rael prepares to unsheathe his sword again.
"You idiot daughter!" The ancient dragon smacks the head of the little one.
"Ouch! What did I do wrong father?!" The baby dragon is confused.
Key and his family are dumbfounded by what they saw, two noble beings are bickering.
"These people have formed a contract with me, you are not allowed to harm them in any way." The ancient dragon glares at her.
"B-But his smell is irresistable, and when I licked him.. Hmm, I don't know what to say.. All I know is that he tastes REALLY good and I can lick him forever!" The baby dragon whines.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" The ancient dragon shouts out of shock.
"Eh?" The baby dragon tilts her head.
"YOU FOOL! What you just did is called 'Manta Pact', doing this will form an irreversable bond between the two of you!"
"Hm? Mama, what do they mean by 'Manta Pact'?" Key asks but Ellie seemed to be too shocked to be aware of her surroundings.
"EHH?! But I thought that it can only be done when I were to accept his manta?" Even the baby dragon seemed to be surprised as well.
"The leak from him that you were licking was his manta."
"What?! I never heard of such a thing!" The baby dragon continues to whine.
"Hmm.. All my life I've never heard of such a thing either, however, there are two things that I'm sure of. The first one is that he possess an incredible manta, so much that his current body can't contain it."
"Heh~ is that so? Then what is the second one?" The baby dragon inquires.
The ancient dragon looks at her. "Since your manta is far weaker than him, you cannot resist whatever he asks you to do so."
"Eh? What's up with that? .. No! I don't want to become a slave!" The baby dragon whines once again while her father looks at her with pity.
"Father, can't you do something about it?" She pleads to her father.
The ancient dragon shakes his head. "No one is allowed to interfere with other people's manta pact, doing so will cause the death of the intruder due to the backlash of the manta.. and the one who provides manta as well. I can't let that happen, even if I try, the contract will prevent me from doing so." He explains while looking grief.
"Don't worry, I won't do that." Key interrupts the two of them.
"Eh?" The baby dragon is confused.
"I won't do that you know? The slave thing."
"W-Why should I believe you? Humans like you are dirty creatures!"
"Hmm.." Key thinks of a way to prove his sincerity.
"Ah, I know! Your father said that you cannot refuse any order from me right?"
"W-What about it?" The baby dragon put her guard up and nervously asks Key.
"*breathes deeply* I command you to have your own free will and no matter what I do, this command cannot be overwritten."
Both of the dragons are surprised.
"Hmm.. Interesting, you remind me of the only human friend that I had from the past." The ancient dragon looks relieved.
"..."
The baby dragon remained quiet for a few moments until she finally let her guard down. Upon doing so, a bright light gradually envelops her.
"Woah! What's happening?!" Key protects his eyes from the light..
As the light begins to fade away, Key peeks in front of him.
Upon doing so, Key sees a naked little girl with an appearance of that his age, a pink hair which lengths up to her lower back, and her yellowish-orange eyes are similar to those of a regular human's if not the same.
"W-Who are you?" Key asks while being mesmerized by her.
The girl looks at her and says, "..Name."
"Huh?"
"I said give me a name."
"W-What? Why?"
"In order to complete the pact, you need to give me a name."
"What? T-Then, you are the baby dragon from earlier?!" Key looks surprised.
"Mhm." She nods while staring at Key with a calm demeanor.
Key notices the change in her behavior.
'So that's why her hair is pink, it's the same as her scales. Huh? She is also acting differently than before.'
Key thinks of a name for a few minutes until he finally decided.
"Amber. Since it matches the color of your eyes." Key smiles.
".. I don't know what that is but, Amber.. it's a pretty name. I like it." She gently smiled at Key.
"I-It's good that you like it." Key blushes.
...
After a few seconds.
"Ah." Amber utters.
"Hm?" Key tilts his head.
Amber suddenly lunges at Key.
*licks*
'Woooaaaahh!! I'm being licked and hugged by a naked loli dragon!'
"Hehe, you really taste good." Amber says as she keeps on licking Key's neck.
"Hah!" Ellie gasps.
"Key! Don't worry, as long as you don't give her a name, the pact will not be completed. I will never let you have a female slave no matter what!"
"Umm.. I already gave her a name though."
'So you mean you weren't listening even after all the whining that Amber did? And you just had to space out before giving me that important info.'
"WHAT?! My dear Key, my dear Key.. my dear Key got corrupted!!" Ellie was so shocked that she fainted.
"Mama?! Hey Rael, mama collapsed! You need to carry her back to the house!"
"... Rael?"
'Hmm, now that I think about it, Raul is strangely quiet after all this time. Don't tell me..'
Key looks at Rael, he is standing there without doing anything, still preparing to unsheathe his sword.
'Yep, he fainted alright. I was about to think highly of him since he acted so bravely, but in front of the ancient dragon.. *sigh*'
