The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Ignoring Tohru's antics, Kobayashi picked up Tohru's tail amidst her exaggerated exclamation and showed it to Yukino Yukinoshita. Looking at the green scales covering Tohru's tail, Yukino Yukinoshita casually stroked the little girl's long, thin black tail. The smoothness and unfamiliar touch confirmed to Yukino Yukinoshita that the little girl's tail was not a prop, but a real organ.

　"Now you should believe me, Miss Yukinoshita, our dragon clan would not... Ah, Lord Kobayashi, what are you doing?"

　"As you can see, strictly speaking, they are not actually from this world. Of course, I don't mean that you shouldn't or are not worthy of living with them. I just want you to be mentally prepared. Dragons are dangerous creatures after all, and this is a young dragon, right, Thor?"

　"Hmm, she's probably one or two years old, but she's already a genius for learning shapeshifting magic. I think we should take her home. How can we let a mere human stay with a noble dragon?" The maid, Dragon Thor, answered Kobayashi's question while feeding the little girl.

　"Wait, you want to take this child away?" Yukino Yukinoshita immediately stood up, very concerned about Tohru's words.

　"Um, I think I'm human too."

　"Lord Kobayashi is a different kind of being. These humans are like ants; let them fend for themselves. Besides, there's absolutely nothing wrong with living at the Kobayashi residence. Not only me, but also Kanna, Fafnir, and Lucoa are here. Her safety is completely guaranteed."

　The final agreement was that Yukino Yukinoshita and Kobayashi would exchange contact information, and the baby dragon would temporarily stay at Yukinoshita's house. However, Tohru said that he would come to visit the baby dragon every day or two. In fact, he said he would come to monitor Yukino Yukinoshita's behavior, but in reality, he would also come to feed the baby dragon.

　Dragons have extremely long lifespans, so the birth of a new life is a joyous occasion for the entire race. Usually, elders in the race will give their scales or their collection of diamonds and jewels to the newborn.

　Since she was to take care of this young girl, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but start to think. This wasn't about pets like cats or dogs, but about raising a child in the real world. However, she was a dragon's child. Yukino Yukinoshita only realized this problem after she agreed to take care of the child. Following the usual problem-solving approach, Yukino Yukinoshita began to think about what infants and young children need.

　Milk powder, educational toys, baby food, and a series of other things kept appearing in Yukino Yukinoshita's mind, and then she would delete them.

　In the end, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't manage to buy much. Rather, there were just too many things she needed to buy. Moreover, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't have a deep understanding of young girls, so she could only take it one step at a time.

　When she got home, it was already dark. Yukino Yukinoshita spent most of her evening teaching the young girl some common sense. However, what Yukino Yukinoshita found strange was that although the young girl was a dragon, she learned human habits very quickly. Yukino Yukinoshita could only attribute this to racial talent. Moreover, the young dragon did not resist taking a bath, was not picky about food, but was not very interested in rice.

　After taking a bath, Yukino Yukinoshita gave the young girl...

　Changing into her childhood sailor uniform, Yukino's smooth, fair skin made her somewhat lost in thought. However, the girl's flat stomach showed no sign that she had eaten a lot of food during the day. In fact, before taking a bath, the girl had eaten all the curry that Yukino had left for Yukino to eat the next day.

　The young girl didn't dislike changing her inner clothes, but she was very particular about the haori. This haori was made by Yae no Miko using a veil of light to cover her body, and it had a certain degree of defensive power. After putting on her sailor uniform, the young girl immediately put the haori on.

　Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to put the haori in the washing machine to wash it, but the little girl refused to take it off. Helpless, Yukino Yukinoshita had to lower her head and smell the haori. The good news was that the haori didn't have any smell, but the sailor uniform had a faint lemon scent.

　The bad news is that Yukino Yukinoshita realizes that she seems to have done something very perverted.

　Yukino Yukinoshita, bombarded by these events, didn't sleep well. The little girl, however, curled up in Yukino Yukinoshita's arms and slept soundly. The end result was that Yukino Yukinoshita was gloriously late.

　Before leaving, Yukino called Kobayashi, hoping that the maid Ryu could take care of her young daughter. Tohru naturally agreed without hesitation, and she took the opportunity to bring a large plate of stewed tail to Yukino's luxury apartment.

　In the mother dragon's eyes, the little girl was such a well-behaved baby that she was incredibly cute. She could eat and sleep well and wasn't picky about food. She was simply the most perfect baby in the world.

　"It's a pity that Lord Kobayashi will not be able to taste the tail meat I carefully prepared."

　Watching the little girl devour all the food Thor brought, Thor's resolve as a maid was reaffirmed. Just as Thor was feeling triumphant, the little girl came to his side.

　"Da~"

　"Hmm, you want to go find that woman? Sure, you should remember the way, right?" Tohru remembered that Yukinoshita went to Soubu High School, so he told the little girl the approximate location.

　"Oh~"

　"Oh, I see. Your name is Hikaru. But I can't come with you. I have to go home and prepare a bento for Lord Kobayashi."

　After giving a few instructions, Thor immediately used magic to return to Kobayashi's house, and the little girl opened the door and left the house.

　Once outside, the little girl followed her sense of familiarity and arrived at the shopping street. Having already eaten breakfast, it was time for dessert!

　P.S.: This is the second update today!

　PS2: I feel like my cold hasn't completely gone away; I'm a little dizzy.

　PS3: I won't be staying here for long; next I'll be off to wreak havoc on Azure Star!

　Volume 1: Chapter 33 - The Unbearable Snow

　The Tartaglia incident didn't affect Hikari much. On the contrary, Kujo Sara and Kamisato Ayaka were constantly busy. Kamisato Ayaka, who could be considered Hikari's guardian, took on the responsibility of leading Kujo Sara's guards to clean up the scales left by the young girl. Kujo Sara sent a letter to Shifuyu regarding the Tartaglia and the skirmishers, while Yae no Miko went to the castle tower and talked with Narukami about the Fatui and Hikari.

　To outsiders, the young girl's life was still as dull and boring as ever. Starting from the coast behind the Kamisato-yashiki, she followed the ocean current eastward. This was how she usually fished: floating on the sea and using her tail as bait. Whenever a predatory fish approached, the young girl would use her long tail to stun it and then bite it.

　Gradually, the little girl noticed that more and more sea fish were gathering around her, and barracudas, marlin and other sea fish kept bumping into her. There were also several sharks swimming around, but the sharks dared not approach because of the little girl's authority, and only ate some leftovers outside.

　The young girl found herself in an unfamiliar sea. Children are very curious, especially someone like Guang who is fearless and wants to bite anything.

　The little girl took a deep breath and dove down, but there was nothing underwater, not even a fish. She was a little disappointed, as she had thought there would be some fish she had never seen before.

　Suddenly she felt a strange suction force, and before she could react, she was pulled out of the sea.

　For the captain, today might have been an ordinary day—fishing, looking at the sea, a comfortable day indeed—but the young men at the bow shouting loudly made him a little uncomfortable.

　"Hey, you half-grown boys, don't make any women's sounds, or I'll kick your ass hard with my boots."

　"God, Dad, you still have to come and see, we, we caught a mermaid."

　"Shut your mouth, what mermaid? This is clearly a sea dragon."

　The captain told his first mate to keep an eye on the compass, then swaggered onto the deck and gave the loudest man a hard kick. Following the crew's gaze, he saw a humanoid creature among the fish that had just been caught.

　There are many taboos in the ocean: mermaids that bewitch the mind, whale kings that capsize fishing boats, and the three guardian beasts of Atlantis, the Yellow Block, the Pink Pentagram, and the Deep-Sea Octopus. But are there mermaids in the waters near Japan?

　When the fishing net was opened, a pretty little girl was sitting on top of the pile of fish, stuffing fish into her mouth.

　Guang didn't even know how he got to this place, but he figured he should just start eating, right?

　"Oh my God, what a beautiful child, Daddy, this..."

　"Shut up, you're disturbing her. This is definitely the Dragon King's little princess. Look at her horns, look at her tail, children, this is the Dragon Girl."

　With a fish still in her mouth, and watching the crew members kneeling before her, another memory in her mind helped her understand what this was. The little girl bit off the fish's head and obediently walked to the captain, extending her hand.

　"Da~"

　Upon seeing this, the captain immediately thought of his long-lost granddaughter and shouted, "Quick, children, bring out all the good food from our cabin! And the wine, bring out the wine too! Let's have a feast!"

　And so, the young girl unknowingly got another free meal here.

　The crew member on duty realized he couldn't hear anything from the deck, so he hurriedly switched to autopilot and ran up to the deck, only to find his drunken companions passed out on the deck.

　"Oh, Dad, you guys actually dare to drink on the boat. If Mom finds out, she'll definitely whip your bottom with a belt."

　"Hmph, kid, I'm the one who calls the shots on my ship, and this old lady can't interfere. We were just talking to Lady Dragon, ah, where's Lady Dragon?"

　"Heh, what Dragon Girl? Father, you've had too much to drink again. This, this is gold."

　The crew member initially didn't believe it, thinking this wasn't a movie or TV show with some dragon princess, but he saw some shiny things next to the pile of fish, quickly picked them up, bit them, weighed them in his hand, and then handed them to the captain.

　“This really is gold, definitely 100g, Dad, we…”

　The captain looked at the unfamiliar characters on the coins and burst into laughter. He slapped a crew member on the back, almost knocking him to the ground, and said with a laugh, "Hahaha, I told you long ago, that's Lady Dragon. This is a reward from Lady Dragon. You're happy, kid."

　Ancient dragons have very long lifespans. If they remembered everything, they would go mad over time. So they don't care about small things, and neither does light.

　After leaving the shopping street, the little girl followed the faint scent in the air to Soubu High School. Although she was not a child, she was almost one. Even though another memory in her brain would help her make the right choice, the little girl's instincts would not change, since she had not remembered what Tohru said at all.

　Soubu High School is a municipal high school located in Chiba City, and it is also the key school with the highest deviation score in Chiba City. The little girl walked into the campus with a carefree attitude. Her short stature did not attract the attention of others when she entered the campus.

　Inside the classroom, Hiratsuka Shizuka was lecturing to her students when the classroom door suddenly opened. She was still wondering who was causing trouble when she saw a little girl walk in. The light-colored haori paired with the blue and white sailor uniform created an unexpected beauty.

　"Hey kid, who are you looking for?"

　Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't good at dealing with children, but Hikaru completely ignored her, which annoyed her. Hikaru walked over to the somewhat tired Yukino Yukinoshita, extended his hand to her, and called out crisply, "Tap~"

　Yukino Yukinoshita was unusually distracted in class today. After hearing a familiar voice, she found the little girl standing in front of her desk. Seeing that Yukino Yukinoshita didn't move, she walked over and gently patted her twice.

　"You're hungry. Didn't Miss Thor take care of you?"

　"Oh~"

　The young girl answered Yukino's question in a drawn-out tone. Hiratsuka Shizuka tapped the podium to quiet the others down. She knew about Yukino's family situation. This child couldn't possibly be Yukino and Haruno's younger sister, and couldn't possibly be Yukino's child.

　"I'm so sorry, Hiratsuka-sensei, my sister has something to do. I'll take her home first."

　"Okay, come to my office later."

　In the young girl's memory, Yukino Yukinoshita and Thomas had similar roles. According to the young girl's experience, Thomas would give her some food and Mora at this time, but Yukino Yukinoshita still dragged her around the school. However, the young girl had already eaten the main course and dessert, so she was not very hungry now.

　She wanted to go out and have fun.

　However, if there's something delicious, Guang can eat it first and then go out to play.

　After buying some food, Yukino Yukinoshita took the little girl to the clubroom.

　The Service Club, founded by Yukino Yukinoshita, was established to help students with their problems. Now, she herself is facing a dilemma: she doesn't know what Hikari should do.

　While Yukino was having a headache, Hikaru had finished eating everything and walked out of the clubroom.

　P.S.: This is the first update today!

　PS2: I've seen several people say it has a thin, long tail.

　Here's the thing about Ba: a creature that was originally seventeen meters long shrunk to less than one meter. Even its thick tail could only be thin and long now.

　PS3: Thank you everyone for your votes~ I love you all~

　Volume 1: Chapter 34 - The Dragons Gather

　"Hey, Xiaoxue."

　Just as the young girl left the clubroom, a girl with pink buns peeked around at the door before coming in.

　Yui Yuigahama, the first customer of the Service Club, is frank and honest. Although she looks like a gyaru (a Japanese girl who is actually a bit silly), she has excellent communication skills.

　Yukino Yukinoshita ignored Yui Yuigahama's strange greeting, threw the packaging bag on the ground into the trash can next to her, and said calmly, "Hello, Yuigahama-san, if I remember correctly, it's still lunchtime now, right? Is there a new request you've come to the clubroom for?"

　"People are worried about Xiaoxue. Is Xiaoxue really okay? Is that child your relative's child? He looks like he's going to be difficult to deal with."

　Yukino Yukinoshita rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. She had never even owned a pet, let alone taken care of a child.

　But as expected of a dragon, this child is truly free-spirited. Although it was a rash decision to bring the child back, Yukino's determination to take good care of her will never change.

　When the little girl left home, Tohru had sent a message to Yukino. She thought she would hear about the missing child being reunited on the school radio, but the little girl came directly to the classroom instead.

　Just after the little girl went out, Kobayashi sent a message saying that Tohru had taken the little girl out to play. Knowing the little girl's whereabouts, Yukino breathed a sigh of relief. She was quite worried that the little girl might have a conflict with someone. After all, Tohru sees humans as ants, and if something like that happened, she would not let it go.

　In that case, the ending might be that a live-action tokusatsu film is released in a grand manner.

　Yukino Yukinoshita was quick-witted and replied, "She's like a relative's child, it's okay, she's just a little mischievous."

　Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, but decided to keep the truth hidden. Seeing that Yukino Yukinoshita didn't want to explain any more, Yui Yuigahama had no choice but to help her clean up the floor.

　As it turned out, the young girl was quite unceremoniously not leaving any food for Yukino Yukinoshita. In addition, because the young girl had eaten the ingredients that Yukino had prepared for her bento last night, and because she was in a hurry to leave this morning, Yukino Yukinoshita forgot about the bento.

　Now, she can only eat in the cafeteria.

　In the afternoon, Yukino received a text message from Kobayashi.

　[Miss Yukinoshita, my Tohru wants to throw a welcome party for Hikari and introduce her to her friends. After meeting Hikari, they might know what kind of dragon she is, and maybe even find her parents.]

　"According to this logic, her friends must also be dragons."

　That's right, but Thor's friends are all good people, so don't be nervous. Although they are all dragons, they all have very good personalities.

　"Yes, I'll participate. Thank you for your help."

　[Received. Thor is playing with her. Would you like to see a picture?]

　"Then trouble you."

　The photos arrived quickly. There were many photos; in them, Hikari, soaking wet, was holding a huge bluefin tuna, while four other tuna of roughly the same size lay on the ground, and Tohru was still battling her fishing rod nearby. Seeing Hikari's utterly bewildered expression, Yukino suddenly forgave the little girl's previous behavior—after all, she was just so adorable.

　That evening, Yukino Yukinoshita arrived at the agreed location with a gift. She knocked on the door forcefully, and after hearing a reply from inside, the door opened. It was Kobayashi who opened the door. Yukino presented the gift and said, "It's a pleasure to visit you. I brought some simple gifts, please don't mind."

　"Miss Yukinoshita, you're too kind. Please come in. Hikaru and Tohru are in the kitchen."

　Upon entering, Yukino Yukinoshita looked around the house. The interior was clean and tidy, with a lively atmosphere. She noticed that there were many children's items on the cabinet, indicating that there was a child in the house.

　Could it be that dragons and humans are not actually reproductively isolated? But Kobayashi is female, and Tohru is female, a female dragon, so it shouldn't be possible.

　Yukino Yukinoshita didn't think about it in detail.

　Inside the kitchen, Thor was deftly slicing tuna into bite-sized pieces on the cutting board with a cleaver in hand. Next to him was a plate full of ice. Just as Thor placed the tuna pieces on the cutting board, the little girl grabbed them and put them in her mouth.

　Thor eventually obtained a complete fish skeleton.

　One nice thing about the house Kobayashi is living in is that the kitchen is very large, and judging from the layout, Tohru and the little boy also have their own rooms. Yukino Yukinoshita is also trying her best to observe and learn something from it.

　A moment later, the doorbell rang, Thor ran to open the door, and then Thor walked in with two men.

　"Tsk, this world is such a hassle, I want to destroy it..."

　Yukino Yukinoshita and Kobayashi both trembled slightly. Tohru said to them, "Lady Kobayashi, Miss Yukinoshita, this is Mr. Fafnir, and this is..."

　"

　"Please take good care of me," said Takiya.

　"Hello, I am Yukino Yukinoshita, a first-year student at Soubu High School."

　Fafnir sat on the sofa with a blank expression and said, "I have no interest in getting to know humans."
