Chapter 4 : 21 years old, Becoming a Mom

A chilly breeze tickled her ears.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw the black, soot-colored sandy area spread out before her eyes.

“…huh?”

“Oh, you’re awake.”

She looked towards where the voice of the boy, which sounded like he was waving a beel, was coming from, and saw a blond-haired boy sitting on a small rock in front of her.

Without a doubt, it was the transformed form of the golden dragon that Amalia had met in the Demon World.

He took Amalia to the Demon World and explained to her the circumstances of the dragon rampaging in the mountains―

“How are you feeling? Does your body work fine in this world?”

“Eh, yeah. It seems okay.”

“That’s good to know.”

The boy said and he smiled brightly with that inhumanly beautiful face of his.

The fact that he was still completely naked gave him the appearance of an angel in a religious painting, as though a light had shone on this black, sooty mountain.

“…Oh? Where is this?”

“It’s the same mountain I’ve been napping on. Is there a problem?”

“You said it’s the same… when we came here before, it was very hot and steamy.”

She looked around, but there was no smoke billowing from the ground or hot air blowing. On the contrary, the surroundings were as bleak as a burnt field, and she even felt chilly.

‘Did the landscape change so much while I was in the Demon World…?’

Hearing Amalia’s words, the boy replied, “Is that so?” He turned his head and then clapped his hands.

“Oh, yes. You said that you would do anything so you could thank me for saving your life.”

“Eh, um. Well, yes.”

“Then let me explore this world.”

The dragon approached the astounded Amalia with a big smile on his face.

“I came to this world from the Demon World before, but I was so sleepy that I took a nap right away. So I don’t know much about this world. In this form, I think I can mix with humans, and I want to follow you and observe human life.”

“Observe?…do dragons do that?”

Dragons were said to be much more intelligent than other demons, but she wondered if they would be willing to take on human form and join the city.

At Amalia’s point, the boy tilted his head, a cute gesture that has a hint of mocking.

“It’s not that I’m forbidden. I am very strong, but I love to have fun more than to fight. Therefore, I would like to follow you and explore this world. You can take the lead, and guide me. I’d like you to do this as a thank you for saving your life…is that okay?”

“…I-I understand.”

“Mn. Good answer!”

The boy nodded in satisfaction and said pompously, “I don’t hate honest people.”

Although he was in human form, she was not without fear of walking with a demon. However, Amalia owes him a debt of gratitude.

‘From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be aggressive… I’m sure he’s fine to bring along… right…?’

Amalia wanted to do what she could. So she had no choice but to accept his offer.

…

First, they needed to get down from this dragon mountain.

However, Amalia’s clothes were tattered after the battle, and the boy was completely naked. “It’s not cold at all.” He said. There was no need to worry about catching a cold, but Amalia would definitely be caught by the guards if she was seen carrying around a naked child.

‘We can’t wander around looking like this, and we can’t travel long…’

“I want to go to town first…. before that. What is your name?”

“A name? There is no such thing.”

“Well, that’s a bit of a problem, I believe.”

“Name me whatever you want. What is your name?”

The boy didn’t seem to care about his name at all. When Amalia stopped, he stopped too, crouched down and began to pick at the soil under his feet with his fingers.

“My name is Amalia.”

“Amalia, that sounds pretty good.”

“Thank you very much. So, your name is… how about, uh, Yugo?”

Yugo is a very common male name in the Kingdom of Leandra. If you throw a stone in a big city, there is a good chance that it will hit Yugo-san.

His hair and eyes are golden, his skin is white, and his face is incredibly beautiful, probably because he was originally a golden dragon. Because he looks so unique in human form, she thought it would be better to give him a common name.

The boy mumbled the name, “Yugo,” saying it with his mouth once, then nodded in satisfaction.

“I understand. Then you can call me Yugo from now on.”

“All right…um, and then, you know. We have to go to the town to get supplies, but what about our relationship?”

Yugo looks to be about five or six years old. If she was going to walk around with such a small child, they might as well create some kind of setting.

“I think it would be easier if we said that we are siblings or we belong to an orphanage.”

“Hmm? Why don’t we just call ourselves mother and son?”

“Oh, mother and child!?”

Amelia exclaimed at his unexpected suggestion… Certainly, it wouldn’t be so strange for a 21-year-old Amalia to have a child about five years old. But there was no resemblance at all. But assuming the child was similar to the father, then it would be believable that they were mother and child traveling.

‘…but, that means that if you’re my age, then you could already have a kid this old.’

She was confronted with the truth, and it was plainly heartbreaking. The monastery was all female, and children left the orphanage when they turned sixteen. So there was no way she could find a romantic relationship in such a place.

Alphonse and the others even called Amalia “old” in the end, which was probably a sign that she was not considered as a member of the opposite sex even though she belonged to a party full of men her age.

“…well, it’s not impossible. Oh, but does a dragon grow?”

“Hmm? Yes, of course they will grow. Just a bit slower than humans, but don’t worry about that, because I’ll take care of it myself.”

Even though she was told not to worry about it, she was concerned, but now is not the time to argue about this and that.

“I understand… looks like the parent-child setting would be better.”

“Isn’t that right? Then from now on, you will be my mother.”

But Amalia, who had never been called Mama before, laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
