My head incessantly moved to various sides around me. Two silhouettes with pointed ears were visible among the desolate and barren land. There was no way any living being could survive after receiving the strongest attack I had launched earlier.

Everything related to ice had completely faded and melted away like a block of ice melting. But the two silhouettes were able to survive easily despite being so close to the battle between me and the two dragons. Even though I didn’t know the identity of the two pointy-eared beings, I decided to land on the ground and walk closer to the two girls.

My presence, which suddenly appeared in front of them, surprised the two pointy-eared beings. The two fairy-like figures hugged each other and revealed frightened expressions. From the two girls’ point of view, my sudden presence was no different from bringing about a catastrophe that could destroy the world.

My battle with the two dragons had been fully witnessed by the two pointy-eared girls. A human who managed to defeat two dragons in their true forms was by no means an ordinary human. Therefore, the two girls decided to act humbly when facing me.

"You... who are you...? Please don’t kill us! We are just two sisters who were kidnapped by those three dragons!"

The explanation from the girl who was hugging her sister awakened my senses a little as I looked at the beautiful figures of the two girls. The two pointed ears visible on the girls slightly awakened the deepest desires that I had long forgotten. Luckily, I’m not at all a stupid guy who would do indecent things to two girls I had just met.

"If I look at your pointy ears... could it be that you two are from the Elves race? Why have beings from the Spirit Continent come here?"

A hint of nervousness crossed the pointy-eared girl’s face. The question asked by the man in front of her filled the girl with a little fear. For some reason, the aura emitted by my body endlessly intimidated both the girl and her little sister.

"Actually, my sister and I accidentally ended up traveling to the Life Continent. We initially just wanted to gain experience and meet someone who was destined to live with us. It’s just that we didn’t expect three beings from the Dragon race to come and kidnap us. Because of that..."

Although the explanation from the girl was a little unclear from my perspective, I would not intimidate her further regarding her and her younger sister’s identities. This was absolutely not my goal in saving the two girls from the grasp of the three dragons.

"So you’re just kidnapping victims? Alright. I’ll be going now. I hope you can leave the Dragon Realm alive."

"Eh. Wait! I beg you...! Don’t leave us alone in this place. We can’t possibly leave this terrible place alive..."

The girl’s request for protection from me had already been completely considered by me. For two beings from the weak Elves race, living alone in the Dragon Realm was not a good choice at all. Because I had freed them from the grasp of the three dragons, the two girls now saw me as a savior who could save them from imminent danger.

"No. I can’t. I’m just a human who was given temporary residence in this place. How can I bring two suspicious girls like you into our residence?" But I wouldn’t be tempted to help those two girls just because of their request. I still hadn’t completely made Athena my lover. Moreover, tomorrow was the day I would fight against Charles, who was not a weak opponent at all.

Bringing those two girls into the Dragon King’s residence was no different from turning myself into a punching bag for my father-in-law. There’s no way I could decide whether to accept those two girls into the Dragon King’s residence or not. Therefore, I would behave coldly towards them and, without hesitation, immediately reject their unreasonable request.

"Impossible... but we can’t possibly..."

"That is your business. You yourselves wanted to leave your own continent. Whatever mistakes you have made must be corrected with your own hands." When I was about to float away from the sight of the two girls, the girl in her sister’s arms moved away and looked at me. The girl’s hair was blonde. Likewise, her older sister also had blonde hair. In addition, the girl’s two earrings radiated a beautiful emerald color and were full of vitality energy.

The girl’s two golden eyes relentlessly stared at me and gave rise to a feeling of fear in my heart. In my entire life, this was the first time I had felt fear when looking into the eyes of a little girl. Even so, I still wouldn’t be able to do anything even if the two girls asked me to take them back to their continent.

"Sir... if possible... I will offer these earrings to you. I believe that you have your own problems just like us. But I want you to take us to a safe place, and I will give these two earrings to you."

Silent in my spot for a while, a look of endless doubt crossed my face. My two calm gazes relentlessly stared at the two earrings worn on the girl’s pointed ears. For that reason, I truly wanted to have both earrings to use as accessories.

"Wait a minute, Tina! Those earrings are an inheritance that our parents gave us directly! Are you sure you want to give them to this suspicious person?"

Both the girl and her younger sister had inherited earrings of different colors from their parents. The earrings owned by the girl named Tina were emerald. On the other hand, the color of the girl’s earrings was red.

"This is the only way for us to survive in this terrible place. The Dragon Realm is not a safe place for us at all. If we explore this place, we will only become prey for the Dragon race."

"But that person is only human..."

"It may be true that he is human, but you should have also witnessed how he managed to defeat those three dragons in their true forms. Isn’t that right?"

No words could come out of the girl’s mouth anymore. The explanation given by her sister had completely made the girl accept her sister’s wish to give her earrings to me. In the end, the Dragon Realm is a terrible world that can take the life of a weak being at any time.
