( Yumina's POV )
Although Yuuki said that he just needed a nap it was obvious that he wasn't going to wake up any time soon.
Tsukiumi: well Yuuki always tries to downplay his injuries but I think he is in no danger.
Yumina: then we must ensure that he is as comfortable as possible.
I sat under a tree and offered to rest Yuuki on my lap, the others looked at me and seemed like they didn't like that idea or rather they also wanted to offer their laps.
We decided who would have the honor in the fairest way possible, rock paper scissors, In the end, Lady Luck smiled at me, and I rested Yuuki's head on my lap while the others continued helping with the damage caused by the black dragon.
Asia nervously said that she wanted to continue healing Yuuki, she looked very cute so I let her sit next to me, Kalawarner was also standing not too close to us, staring at Yuuki.
Yumina: Asia-chan tell me, do you like Yuuki?
Asia: huh!? I... d-don't... know.
Yumina: well Yuuki already said that you can be part of our family if you want, when you know for sure you just have to tell him.
Asia: I don't think that's what he meant.
Yumina: He still wouldn't reject you, talk to him when you have your answer.
Then I set my eyes on Kalawarner but she spoke before me.
Kalawarner: Don't even ask, I have nothing to say about that.
Yumina: umm are you sure?
She kept looking at Yuuki while thinking about what I said and after a few moments, she answered, always maintaining her calm attitude.
Kalawarner: ... After what I saw today I decided that I would follow him anywhere but my feelings are not the same as yours.
Yumina: okay, that's good enough for now.
After that Kalawarner sat next to me and she used her black wings to cover Yuuki like a blanket.
///////////////
When I fainted from exhaustion after taking on my full dragon form for the first time I didn't wake up until we reached the capital of the Mismide kingdom, Berge, but there I faced a new problem, upon entering the city full of pretty girls with animal ears I felt a strong desire to caress those fluffy ears but that would be a crime, So Haruhime helped me with my problem and I spent the rest of the way petting her tail and head, I have done that many times since we met but she never stops blushing and wagging her tail happily which makes me enjoy this much more, Mittelt even let me pet her wings until we got to the palace.
There we immediately had an audience with the king, Jamukha Blau Mismide, a muscular beastman who clearly had a lot of experience fighting.
Olga and the other soldiers of Mismide reported to the king about the discussions with the Belfast kingdom and about our return trip and then he turned his attention to us, specifically on Yumina and me.
Jamukha: and you are?
Yumina: It is an honor to finally meet you, Your Majesty, I am Yumina Urnea Belfast, princess of the Belfast kingdom.
Yumina: It is because the relationship with your kingdom is important to us.
Yumina approached the throne and handed a letter to the beastman king.
Jamukha: I see, and you are?
Yuuki: a pleasure to meet you, I am Yuuki Kurokawa, the princess's fiancé and the other girls who came with us are also my family.
Jamukha: ooh You are the warrior who took on a dragon on your own, I can see in your eyes that you have had your fair share of battles.
Yuuki: well certainly no more than you, your majesty.
Jamukha: haha Just because I've lived longer than you, what do you say to a friendly spar?
Yuuki: I think that is an excellent idea, for the sake of the relationship between the kingdoms of course.
////////////////
We moved to an arena that was used to train soldiers and the king had changed into more comfortable clothes to fight.
Yumina: Yuuki, are you sure this is a good idea? You still haven't recovered.
I was opening and closing my fists to check my body and although I was not yet one hundred percent, I was fit enough to fight.
Yuuki: Don't worry, I'm definitely sixty percent there.
Yumina: That's not very reassuring.
Before starting a minister of the kingdom who had wings on his back approached to talk to me, I thought he was going to warn me not to hurt his king but he made another strange request.
Birdman: Yuuki-sama I'm sorry for this, every time he meets someone strong, he wants to prove himself.
Yeah, I don't doubt that.
Birdman: the truth is that this has caused us a lot of problems so please don't hold back with him, give him a good beating!
Yuuki: uh-huh I'll try my best I guess.
I walked towards him while I transformed into my dragonewt form and when we were close another beast-man who had two horns coming out of his forehead explained the rules of the spar, We had wooden shields and swords and the battle would end when one of us received a serious wound or admitted defeat.
Jamukha: so that's your transformation, that's an interesting neutral magic.
Yuuki: yeah, I guess you can call it that.
Beastman: Ready... Begin.
Jamukha: [Accel ]
The king began with a spell that increased his speed massively and he took advantage of his heavy build to deliver a powerful blow, I blocked it in time but if I hadn't been transformed that attack would have knocked me back.
Yuuki: [Boost]
I counterattacked with a Spartan kick and although the king blocked my kick I was able to create distance between us.
Yuuki: good, high-speed fighting is also my specialty [ lightning body ]
The king and I smiled as we enjoyed the fight and we started fighting at high speed, some of the spectators could only follow the fight at the moments when the impact of our attacks slowed us down.
After a strong clash of our attacks sent us flying back and we stopped for a moment, I spread my wings and attacked the King from above but before my attack connected in the corner of my eye I saw a wooden sword about to hit me on the head, I had to teleport to the other side of the arena and then I saw that someone had joined our spar without permission.
