Third POV:
"Huh, why can't I marry Shou? I don't care if you're in love with him," Uni said while crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry, Uni, I can't marry you; I'm certain you would kill me because of how boring of a husband I'd be. Plus, I think marriage is too much for me right now," Shou said.
"Could it be that you love this half-demon back?"
Shou covered his face.
"Why would you say that?"
"I have no chance in hell, damn. Your face says it all. But I won't give up. You two haven't mated yet, have you," she asked.
Shou's eyes widened. Zetsu looked away from Shou.
"No, we haven't. I respect Shou's wishes and don't wish to scare him," Zetsu said.
"How noble," she said.
"Mate?" Shou thought as that word repeated in his mind for a while.
His face was tomato red.
"We've lost Shou," Cebris thought.
Shou had completely zoned out.
"Hey, dragon, could you stop talking about that? Do you see what you're doing? He's not even paying attention to a word you're saying," Zetsu shouted.
"Hey, Shou," Hisami said while waving his hand in front of his eyes for a bit.
"Zetsu, please do something," Hisami shouted.
Zetsu got closer to Shou.
"Hey, Shou, please snap out of it, or I'll kiss you," Zetsu whispered.
Shou's eyes widened as his red was an even darker shade. He covered his ears as he shivered.
"Why did you whisper in my ear, Zetsu," Shou asked while covering his ear.
"You weren't responding," Zetsu said.
"What the hell did you whisper to him," Cebris asked.
"Nothing, don't worry about it," Shou said while he looked away from everyone.
"He probably threatened to kiss him or something," Uni said.
Suddenly Shou and Zetsu's eyes widened.
"Are you psychic or something?" Zetsu shouted.
"Damn, Shou isn't saying anything, but he's probably thinking the same thing?"
After a while...
Night time had struck, and the moonlight shined over the dragon kingdom. Shou and Zetsu shared a room in the dragon palace.
Flashback...
"We don't get many human visitors, so this is the best we can do for now. " Uni said.
The roommates were Shou and Zetsu, Hisami and Seina, and Kamiya, Haruki, and Zai.
"What the hell, why can't that guy get his own room," Haruki thought with a glare full of blood lust.
Zai felt shivers down his spine.
"I feel like someone is trying to kill me," Zai thought.
Back to the present...
"Zetsu and I are in the same room. This can't get any worse. My heart keeps throbbing in embarrassment. Zetsu kissing me sounds too much right now. But he's in love with me; I feel guilty for dragging it out, though," Shou thought.
"Shou-chan, I'll sleep on the couch; you can take the bed," Zetsu said.
"No, I take the couch; you take the bed," Shou said.
"No, I will," Zetsu said.
"No, I will," Shou said.
A little time later...
They both ended up sharing the bed and were back to back.
"I can't sleep," Zetsu and Shou thought.
"Neh, Shou-chan, are you comfortable?"
"I'm fine; after all, we got a king's room, so the bed is huge. Although, since I've been in this world, I've always been at your mansion, and I feel at home there."
Zetsu smiled.
"I want you to be happy, Shou."
Shou blushed at his words.
"Me to be happy?"
Zetsu sat up and turned towards Shou. He hugged him from behind. Shou was blushing madly. Zetsu fell asleep. Eventually, Shou fell asleep as well.
Meanwhile...
Kamiya was glaring at Haruki.
"What the hell are you doing, Haruki?"
Haruki had Kamiya pinned on the bed. Zai was already asleep on a couch.
"Stop, you idiot," Kamiya whispered.
"Kamiya," Haruki whispered in his ear.
"S-stop, I haven't forgiven you yet. I haven't given you a response, damn it," Kamiya whispered.
Haruki licked Kamiya's outer ear.
"No, stop."
His face and ears were bright red. Haruki bit it and began licking down his neck.
"I said stop, damn it," Kamiya shouted.
Kamiya punched Haruki.
"That hurt," Haruki thought as he felt his face.
"Sleep on the floor, you idiot. I hate you," Kamiya Shouted as he hid underneath the blanket with tears in his eyes.
Haruki pulled the blanket down, revealing Kamiya's face. He felt guilty as he saw his tears.
"I'm sorry; I won't do it again; please don't hate me," Haruki said as he pouted and looked at him.
"My weakness ever since we met," Kamiya thought.
"Fine, then, just don't do it again, damn it, especially not when that bastard is in here," Kamiya said.
Zai opened his eyes, and he looked unamused. He sighed.
"Kamiya sounded cute, but still, Haruki, how could you when someone's sleeping," he said.
"You were awake?"
"Yeah, Kamiya, I think I might be interested too," Zai said with a smile.
Haruki stood up and grabbed him by his shirt collar. He threw him outside the door and locked it. Zai sighed as he began to walk around the castle. Kamiya stared at Haruki, who had a creepy smile on his face.
"Kamiya, we're alone now," he said.
Kamiya felt shivers down his spine. Haruki pinned him once again.
"Let go, you idiot. Hey, you said you wouldn't do it again. Damn it, you damn pervert," Kamiya shouted.
In the morning...
Shou woke up in Zetsu's arms. He smiled.
"Zetsu is pretty bold," Shou thought.
He turned and faced Zetsu. He was staring at Zetsu's relaxed sleeping face.
"Zetsu-san is kinda cute," Shou mumbled.
Zetsu opened one of his eyes.
"Glad you think so, Shou-chan," Zetsu said with a smile.
"Eh, you've been awake for how long?"
"Well, I just woke up to your voice."
Shou blushed as he remembered calling him cute.
"Good morning Shou-chan," he said with a smile.
"Good morning," Shou said with a smile.
There was a knock at the door. Both Zetsu and Shou got out of bed.
"Come in," Shou said.
"Your majesty, our current highness wishes to gather you in the dining hall for breakfast," A butler said.
"Okay, then, we should get going, Zetsu."
"Yeah."
Everyone gathered in the dining hall of the castle. Kamiya looked exhausted.
"What's wrong, Kamiya," Hisami asked.
"Haruki," Kamiya said while glaring.
Haruki chuckled.
"It's Haruki's fault I couldn't sleep," Kamiya shouted.
"What did you do to him," Seina and Hisami asked.
"Nothing," Haruki said with a smile.
"Haruki-san is a pervert," Zai said.
"What do you mean, Zai," Hisami asked with a smirk.
"Haruki-san was trying to eat Kamiya-kun while I was in the same room. Kamiya-kun sounded adorable, but I was sleeping; I know I'm a pervert, but he's worst."
Kamiya started blushing.
"I couldn't help it; you guys did leave me in a room with the love of my life. Did you expect me not to try anything," Haruki asked.
"You idiot, Shut up," Kamiya shouted.
"Looks like Kamiya and Haruki are much closer than we all thought, although Zetsu respects me enough not to go too far. Zetsu is really sweet," Shou thought.
"I would never do that to Shou-chan; Shou-chan would hate me. I don't want to lose his trust in me; it's not worth it," Zetsu thought.
"Everyone, please sit at the table and enjoy your breakfast," Uni said with a smile.
They sat gathered at the table with food laid out in front of them.
"So, I would like to discuss the hunting of the emerald dragon who has gone against the code of the previous king. The emerald dragon believes in preying on weaker humans to increase its mana. The previous king wrote a law that banned killing humans from a dragon. We are only allowed to hunt monsters that do not have the cognitive ability," Uni said as she ate some meat on her plate.
"So you want us to kill it," Hisami asked with a dark aura.
"Yes, if I can't have Shou as my husband, I would still like to protect our pride as dragons," Uni said with a smile.
"Uni," Shou said.
"Hmm?"
"What has that dragon done? Do you know?"
"He's attacked and killed defenseless humans. Children as well, the one you called Akai, tried to stop him, but the emerald dragon has grown remarkably."
"Is there any way we can locate it," Seina asked.
"Yeah, I have the location of it right now. I can find anyone with dragon blood as long as they are within a certain distance. However, the reincarnated version of our king is hard to find due to Shou not possessing any dragon blood. Although now, I can find Shou as many times as I need, his mana pattern has been engraved into my mind. So have all of yours. Once you defeat the dragon, I will make sure all of you are known as heroes of the dragon tribe," she said with a smile.
Suddenly her smile changed.
"What's wrong, Uni," Shou asked.
"The emerald dragon is heading here. He's heading here for more mana. He can sense strong mana users here. He might be attempting to devour Shou," Uni shouted.
Shou stood up.
"If that's the case, I'll leave the castle."
"No, you're not going by yourself," Zetsu shouted.
Zetsu stood up.
"I'll go with you."
"We will, too," Everyone else said.
"Everyone."
Shou smiled.
"Then, let's protect the dragon village," Hisami said.
"Right," they said.
After a while...
Shou, Zetsu, Zai, Kamiya, Haruki, Hisami, Seina, and Uni stood in an open part of the forest.
"It's coming," Uni said.
A large green dragon flew above them, flying in a circle. The mana aura around the dragon shocked Uni.
"You bastard, how many have you killed to receive that much power," Uni shouted in dragon tongue.
