Angelina coughed once as she sat on the edge of a table with crossed legs. On her sides were Kai and Amelia.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Angelina, called by most as Angel, I have no last name, I'm a Diamond adventurer and an A-class mage. I currently hold the title of Dragon Slayer. A-and as you've all probably realized, my master is Mr. Kai who's over there. And in case anyone asks about my age, I'm only seventeen. I'm older than my master but he's very strong and his punishments always feel goo-!"

Before Angelina could continue her sentence, Kai chopped her head with his metal arm. She crouched down on the table and covered her head with her hands. Her legs were moving forward and back due to the pain but soon afterward, she began to pant.

"I'll send you to the other kingdom with my magic if you show that side of yours while eating."

"...Strict as always when it comes to eating, master."

Angelina coughed and sat up straight.

"Any questions? It'll still take about five minutes for the meal to come because master eats quite a lot..."

Other than Erina, Amelia, Aya, Natsumi, and Yoko, none of them had seen Kai eat a real meal before.

"Kai, how much do you eat now compared to the past?"

Erina became curious. She had seen him eat before but he hadn't said that he was full.

"Ah, master is a bottomless pit now. I remember him eating an entire dragon before saying he was full!"

"DRAGON?!"

Kazuki yelled in shock.

"Well, it's natural for master to be able to defeat a low-class dragon if I can. Though master can actually defeat a mid-class dragon as well. I've never seen a high-class dragon so I don't know how master would fair against that but I believe he can defeat one with ease!"

An adult low-class dragon was at the peak of A-class. An adult mid-class was at S-class and a high-class was at the peak of S-class. Beyond that are ancient dragons. Dragons were limited to a single attribute because of their bodies' constitution but the physical power of their bodies was the strongest in the world.

A low-class dragon's body would be S-class. A mid-class dragon's body is at the peak of S-class and a high-class dragon's body was above S-class and entered the realm of SS-class.

"You love your master as always, huh..."

Amelia sighed while she listened to Angelina.

"Yes! Master is the best in the world, he won't lose to anyone!"

Angelina puffed up her chest and had a smug look on her face. She looked very childish but her body was almost like Erina's and looked a bit more mature.

"Ah, it looks like the food is here."

Several tens of butlers and maids walked in carrying food on trays. They wouldn't fit on a normal table but the table that they were sitting on was a lot larger which had confused everyone at first but soon realized the reason when they saw the food.

"There's so many..."

Arata muttered.

"U-Umi, I'm really nervous for some reason."

"I-I can understand how you feel... We're not even in a noble's mansion yet when looking at the exquisite service that only high-ranked nobles get, I'm scared."

Date and Umi sat next to each other while chatting nervously. Kei was staring blankly at the food on the table. Kazuki and Natsumi seemed calm when the food came but was still surprised by the amount fit for a banquet.

"...Kai, you've never eaten this much at the castle have you?"

"No, I've eaten a lot less."

"Master, more will come soon so please eat to your heart's content!"

"Well done."

Kai placed a hand on top of Angelina's head.

"Ehehehe~"

Seeing that, Erina's cheeks puffed up. It did not escape Kai's eyes but he chose to ignore it for now. Praising his disciple was one thing but flirting in public was another.

"Well everyone, lunch is served!"

Five minutes, that was the time that Kai took to finish all the food prepared for himself on the table. The servers kept bringing Kai food and some of them were visibly tired. Everyone other than Kai was still eating.

If anyone from Earth were to see this, they'd think it came straight out of a manga. Erina wasn't knowledgeable in that area so she didn't have such thoughts.

"Umm... Angelina, I'm Erina-"

"Master's second lover, right? I've been informed about you. What's your question?"

Around the table, Erina is the youngest after Aya.

"Where did you meet Kai?"

Erina was visibly happy after being called Kai's lover.

'What a simple girl...' Amelia thought but didn't voice out.

"Three years ago, master found me on the verge of death being attacked by monsters inside Desolate Beast Mountain Range. It was the year that beasts appeared in large numbers for migration and I had gotten caught up in it along with my parents. Master killed every beast around me with a single technique then healed me from the verge of death. Once I could stand up, he brought me to the outskirts of a village and gave me some money but I refused and asked him to make me his disciple. At first, he denied me flat out but after some insisting and perseverance, I managed to persuade him!"

"Persuade my ass! You followed me all the way inside the center of the mountain range and pestered me each and every day!"

"Kai is so nice that he won't let a young girl like her die in the mountains alone after all~"

Amelia had placed a hand on her cheek while reminiscing.

"Though milady's insistence on master also played a big part!"

Kai clicked his tongue and continued eating.

"So he's the type to be controlled by his spouse, huh..."

"I don't want to hear that from a siscon who does everything his sister tells him to."

Kai flicked with his finger and a small bullet of wind hit Kazuki's forehead and sent him tumbling backward. He stood up nearly instantly and roared in rage but suppressed it when he saw Natsumi's glare.

Natsumi had become super proactive once she entered the mansion. It was obvious to everyone that she admired Angelina quite greatly. Everyone held similar admiration to her before but when they found out about her true nature, most of them dropped those thoughts and just switched to respect for her strength.

Meanwhile, Erina who heard Kazuki's comments suddenly began flowing with ideas. Amelia narrowed her eyes at Erina.

"...You've just recently turned fifteen, haven't you? You should wait a few more years."

"Wha-?! What are you talking about?!"

Erina flushed red and denied her in a fluster while waving her hands.

"...That wasn't the reaction I expected. How innocent are you?"

"I'm not! I'll have you know that I've already had my first k-k-k-kiss!"

"She just stuttered at 'kiss'. Is this woman for real?"

Amelia pointed at Erina while looking at Kai.

"Yeah, it's quite unexpected seeing as she was the one who kissed me in front of everyone for at least half a minute."

"Half a minute for her first kiss? How bold..."

"I-I know it's shameless! But it wasn't anything more than that!"

Erina moved to defend herself. Yoko who was silent this whole time laughed loudly.

"Jeez! Yoko, don't join them!"

"Sorry, it's just that this is the first time I've seen you like this in years. Even though when you talked about 'intercourse' when we were kids, you didn't even flinch."

"That's knowledge! It's different from experience!"

Angelina tilted her head and placed a finger on her bottom lip.

"I was sure that Ms. Erina was called cool and aloof. What happened to that information?"

"Ever since that day, the light in her eyes returned and she expresses her emotions more clearly. Honestly, I would've understood if she were to change only a little bit but it's like her personality took a complete turn."

"I see. It would've been interesting to see. Master, should we go on ahead with the task?"

"...You're right."

This whole time, Kai had been eating.

"I would normally go myself but I'm going to reveal myself to the public only after you complete this. There's another low-class dragon on the loose, it's inside Amber Mountain, only a day from here by carriage. You know how dangerous this is, right?"

"Yes... To think that master could actually sense that far is amazing though."

"I didn't. The Shadow Cloaks informed me that they saw a dragon's trails while they were heading for the kingdom. You can get assistance from the kingdom as much as you want, there are going to be a lot of political problems if I kill it myself. But the Dragon Slayer slaying another dragon wouldn't count as much, would it?"

"Then, master! Please make me a new Enchanted Gear!"

"""""WHAT?!"""""

"So loud!"

Everyone except Amelia and Aya shouted at Kai once they heard Angelina's request.

"Ara... You all didn't know? Master is the best blacksmith on the continent. Not just that, he's also the best with runes. He can create an Enchanted Gear on the level of a national treasure in an hour! All my gear was crafted and enchanted by him."

"The dragon slayer's sword, Talon, and the armor said to rival a dragon's scales, Plate, were crafted by Kai?!"

Natsumi stood up while slamming the table.

"Ah, yeah. I didn't name them though, that was her. I had just killed a low-class dragon at the time and decided to give my disciple some armor and weapons as a parting gift. I was about to go undercover after all."

"You would be punished by the blacksmiths in the whole world if you just called dragon's armor and weapons, 'some' as if it was insufficient! Besides, you never told me you could create weapons!"

"I don't want to increase my work. I have enough handling the market and being a knight of the kingdom."

"Marketing?"

Natsumi tilted her head.

"Ah, right. I didn't tell you that either. The king knows though."

Kai looked at Amelia and she took that as a sign to stand up. Then she raised the sides of her skirt.

"I am Amelia, the owner-in-name of Superbia, the best company on the continent."

"There are too many secrets! Stop revealing them all at once!"

Natsumi was going mad.

"Ah, by the way, I'm the real owner. We just publish Amelia as the owner instead of me but I hold the real power."

"I said stop!"

Kai sighed and shook his head.

"You guys understand, right?"

Kai looked at everyone else.

"""""LIKE HELL WE DO!"""""

They could feel their brains exploding. The man in front of them was not only strong and had a huge identity in the kingdom, but he may also as well have more importance than an S-class member of the council! He can create weapons from dragon parts, carve runes enough to be called national treasure in a short time, owner of Superbia which has an even bigger revenue than the kingdom itself and own a technique enough to shake the entire world.

The more they stayed with Kai, the more their heads felt the pain of associating with him.
