Disclaimer: I owned nothing.

Chapter 13

"Lord Gremory/Gremory-sama, you don't need to walk with us."

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

Currently we're on the way back to the tower. I have signed the truce with both the silk-maker village, with help came from Akeno-chan of course.

Who know that Emmanate-san and Harumika-san would offer their bodies to me? In exchange of my sweat and the protection from the dragon?

It's just this world favors dragon very much. And as Akeno-chan said , I didn't realize both the village have no males.

Fianher-san was very angry when she knew Emmanate-san did it with me. Luckily, Fumiko-san has taken Fianher-san to elsewhere. She winked with me before I left the village. I hope that wasn't another plan involve me.

Seriously, knowing your mother has sex with someone else but your father is a shocking experience, but I refused her mother! I don't think it is right to do that and I don't want to become her father. I will try to send her a letter to clear this matter.

Right now the people of [Silkworm tribe] and [Tsuchigumo clan] are following me back to the tower. Emmanate-san and Harumika-san have sent them, they will live within my territory from now on, produce the silk for my benefit.

The [Draglings] are carrying the treasure and usable items took from the Bageu bandit. Turn out both Fianher-san and Fumiko-san's father was a pimp care nothing about the girls he tricked. After I captured and brought him in front of Emmanate-san and Harumika-san, they... well, I should forget it before my brain exploded from the horrible glimpse of what I saw.

Still, there is a problem.

[Partner, this world's enemies are too weak. You can't maintain your strength if you continue fighting like this.]

How about basic training? I intend to make a new schedule.

[Your old practice won't work well. Take a look at yourself, you're a dragon now, a hybrid but still a dragon. Your basic stats increase so much that they demand heavy training to maintain your current stats.

Before the dragon flesh officially becomes your flesh, I suggest you doing non-stop heavy training everyday. Once your body becomes dragon body at 70%, your strength won't reduce anymore.]

Thanks for the advice Ddraig. So how to make the progress faster?

[With this pace, 6 months are enough, but if somehow you fuse with another [Cronsal], you said? It will be done.]

So I need to defeat another hero.

The Dragon Tower.

While traveling back, I have used the telepathy connection to contact Rias-chan. She said she will prepare the place for the silk-maker people. It looks like castle Spree has been rebuilt, not to its previous glory but still enough for living. We will open a party tonight to welcome them.

Just a week and the Dragon Tower changed so much.

When I access to the Tower Heart's structure map, it shows me many major changes such as the water pipe system, the forgery chamber, the new lab for magic study, my gems have become the primary object Rossweisse-san used to create the elemental crystal.

Instead using modern technology, all of these new systems all use magic comes from the [Tower Heart] to run. The girls are so amazing in this aspect, I don't have half a brain to make this possible.

Somehow I feel like the Tower will be worse if I was in this world alone.

Xenovia-chan and Irina-chan have gone deep inside Evernight Forest, fought some corrupted unicorns and trolls, then some [Green Draglings] have followed Xenovia-chan, helped them clean the poison gas on their way and retrieved the [Green Dragling Hive] from a cave. I have heard the story at the Evernight forest. Oberon has become their living nightmare.

For some reason, the barrier is too strong to break, guess I need the [Blue Dragling] for this task.

"Ise-kun, you're back!"

"Yes, I'm right here, Rias-chan."

A kiss to push the lonely feeling back, Rias-chan gives me the map she made.

"Ise-kun, the strange infection at Heaven's Peak is worse than what I expected. Tomorrow, you will head there."

"Got it Rias-chan. The silk-maker people, I think we should introduce us to them. After all, they will become another addition economic power for us in the future."

"Yes. Akeno? You made her your mistress, right? I can feel her a week ago."

"Yeah, must be the link between us. You didn't angry?"

"No, I always want a sister like Akeno. And you forgot what I have said? I won't stop the girls from loving you, as long as you have me inside your heart."

"I love you so much Rias-chan."

The night ends with a vegetarian party. The silk-maker people enjoyed it much from what I saw, I also enjoyed the food well, I mean, I can tell what the food was made up. It's in my head.

Clearly before I didn't have the ability to know and understand the food.

Morning.

I have a long day today, with the map Rias-chan gave, I have analyzed and planned what I should do first.

This is the result from my dream. To become High-class Devil, you must pass a test not just strength, but also strategy. I will learn more from Rias-chan or anyone good at it.

I'm not feeling stupid or hard to understand things, maybe it's my dragon heritage? Or the courage and will to accomplish what I want to?

Anyway, first I will retrieve the [Blue Dragling Hive] first, their magic will be a big help from whatever we have to face.

For now, till a strong enemy on my level appear, I will use and learn battle tactics, depend almost completely on the [Draglings], except for safety or important situation.

"Issei-san, you're on the way to retrieve the [Blue Dragling Hive], right? I will accompany you today."

"Rossweisse-san?"

"The [Blue Draglings] chose the Moist Hollow to live, it must have something to do with their magic. I want to study the place."

"Okay then."

Heaven's Peak swamp.

After the [Green Draglings] cleaned the poison gas, we step inside the Moist Hollow cave, where the air is humid, but it's also cool, and, deeper, I witness one of the most beautiful scene in my life.

The water fall, the blue mushrooms, the green leaves fall down, cover the rock with their lively color.

It's like standing in a big refrigerator with natural decoration.

The atmosphere is very nice, I think maybe when we have a chance for relax, I will take everyone to this cave.

"Can you feel it Issei-san? The magic waves all around the cave?"

"Uh... Sorry but I can't."

To me, magic is still hard to comprehend. In team Gremory, I am the Power-type, the rank of my Tech and Wizard are quite low.

"You should study more about magic, what would happen if the presentation of dragon know nothing of magic? I will help you in this case if things are too hard for you."

"Then please be my teacher, Rossweisse-sensei."

Private learning with a bishoujo? No way I'm gonna deny!

"I was your teacher, Issei-san."

Yeah, along with Azazel-sensei, I wonder how he have been now. Hope that last boss teacher hit his head on the floor.

Looking at the small pool, we found some kind of … chicken? I will call them dodo because their look is very similar to the counter part in my world.

"These dodos will be new kind of food and domestic animal, at least we can have eggs. My nutrition balance has finally be corrected."

Eh? Rossweisse-san said with a relax manner, you care about food that much? But deep inside, I can feel some upset from her.

"Rossweisse-san, are you still upset about the car?"

Even after teleported to this world, Rossweisse-san has tried to find her car. With her money treatment, that was a big shock to her.

"Ha ha ha, what are you talking about Issei-san? I heard nothing."

She's broke.

"Still, this cave remind me of my childhood."

"We can spare some times you know."

"And would you care to listen to my boring story?"

"Why not? A story from a bishoujo is never boring."

"Such pervert that I can't bring myself to hate. Alright, that was when I'm 10 years old.

Before becoming a Valkyrie, I was a little, normal girl, lived in a small house at the countryside.

One day, I find out a cave near where my father usually fishes. I went into the cave only to be attack by a pack of wolves.

I was so scare, I ran till exhaust but result in lost in the cave, it was just a matter of time before the wolves found me.

I prayed to Odin, Freya, Thor or any Gods of Norse Mythology I could remember.

As the wolves found me, a warrior came to rescue me. She wore the swan feather armor, took down the wolves like puppies and saved me.

My spirit to join the Valkyrie rose up after that. But it was not the point of what I found aftermath."

"What was it, Rossweisse-san?"

"She, the one who saved me, was my mother. As she felt my soul in danger, she came to rescue me, in the end, she was banished from the Valkyrie corps.

But she... she didn't angry, instead she enjoyed her time with family until once again she completed her duties.

My father, a normal man, he was happy when she spent more times with my family, but also sad when she left him again."

? I don't understand that part. Did her mother become a Valkyrie again?

[It means she died, partner.]

!

"I wonder myself many times, should I protect and serve as a Valkyrie? Or should I spend my times with my family?

Duty and family, which one is needed more?"

I see, so Rossweisse-san has been through such a thing.

Thinking for a moment, I answer her.

"Well, I'm not smart but I know this. Rossweisse-san, look at me, I'm not a kind of person like to work, but I work because my family need it. I'm not the kind of hero who runs out to save the day, in fact I just want to spend my times with my family! But I need to do it because I don't want my family to get hurt. And because I can't stand to see people suffer.

Rossweisse-san, sometimes life can be confused. But the problem is how you choose to face it. You're our family after all. We live together, smile, cry, everything is like a family, so is team Gremory.

So, your career or love, don't let it go if you want it. Hold it tight in your heart as long as you can, and you will never regret.

I mean, you should try your best to do both of them with pride and happiness."

Rossweisse-san turns her face to me, a little smile can be seen on her smooth, white face, like a sun shine in her winter day.

"You know what? You're dangerous even without magic, Issei-san."

Okay, I heard that many times already. And still couldn't understand a bit about that phrase.

"...The hero I longed for..."

I wish I was not so pervert or my pervert would turn into intelligent.

[Great Red or any Supreme Being over there, thanks for your blessing upon my partner's brain!]

Don't creep me out Ddraig! I want more intelligent but not completely lose my pervert!

Pervert is justice!

Using [Dragon Presence], I stun the dodos and order the [Draglings] carry them back to the tower, as well as the nest where their eggs lie within.

'Rias-chan, I have found a kind of bird and their eggs. I think we should somehow raise them, they will provide us more resources.'

'Got it Ise-kun.'

[You two sure good at this telepathy.]

Of course Ddraig, it's a great and convenient ability. Like a auto cell phone without fee and bill.

Rossweisse-san sure would love it if she heard me.

We found the [Blue Dragling Hive] after a few more minutes. Once again, I use [Dragon Presence] to stun the dodos, then order the [Blue Dragling] to carry their hive back.

Rossweisse-san stayed back, she said she want to learn more about the land where the [Blue Dragling Hive] on, she would be alright on her own, the [Draglings] will protect her should anything happen.

A little bit trouble when I find a way back, a big, snake like creature ambush me when I try to cross the water.

With a [Flame Cannon], it would be done, but I have to learn battle tactics.

So I order my [Draglings] to attack. It was not... very effective as the snake bites a mouthful of [Draglings].

After some minutes to recall which abilities each [Dragling] have, I bring up a brilliant plan.

First, I place 10 [Red Draglings] far from where the snake can attack, they will fire at long range.

Then I place 10 [Green Draglings] on the rock near the snake, [Green Draglings] can hide themselves from the other, and when the right time come, they strike hard.

Another 10 [Blue Draglings] will recover any [Draglings] should they died.

Now for the last pace, I order one of the [Brown Dragling] to bait the snake. Then both the [Red Draglings] and [Green Draglings] will attack at the same time.

It works!

Limit myself with only 40 [Draglings], the first win by tactic would be one of the proudest moment of my life.

"Are you done? Then let's get back, I will need my tools if I want further research."

Rossweisse-san!? Please don't treat my first win with brain like that!

At the end of the cave, we found the [Waypoint] submerge under the water.

Who constructed this [Waypoint] must be either idiot or genius.

What if the water was suck in with us when we use it?

The Dragon Tower.

With the 4 basic [Dragling] back to the tower, I receive a little boost come from the Tower Heart. It reduce the time for my body to be 70% dragon flesh down to 5 months, well, technically not very useful but I still grateful to it.

The [Draglings] are the ones change most, as they grow higher, as tall as Xenovia-chan, their features become like me, dragon-like, with tail, certain color scales for each specie.

But the most notable thing you would see different from the original [Minions] would be...

"Master, we're here to serve you."

Yes, they're female! They have oppai!

Four type of oppai! Each ones are different from another ones!

But the best is they got no flat chest!

"Why do I feel Ise-senpai is having a bad thought?"

Ehem... I should return to my subject. Sorry, Koneko-chan.

"Introduce yourselves to me and my family."

"Yes, Master."

A [Brown Dragling] step up.

"We're the [Brown], we present the strength, the powerhouse, the backbone of the [Minions].Our brown scales withstand any kind of physical attack. This is the first time we gain intelligent to interact with our Master, for we thank the heritage of my Master allow us to understand him and reply him with his language."

"You shall be the [Warrior]."

"Thank you for naming us, Master."

Skipping this part shall we?

The [Warrior], their dull gray armor covers their vital points, have brown short hair. They're now equipped with small shield and short sword, seem like the [Tower Heart] has modified them a bit. As before they didn't prefer any kind of weapons.

The [Red Draglings] change to [Ranger], their abilities don't change much from the original, range, flame attack, red scales resist to any kind of fire, my dragon heritage only push it to the limit. They also good at forging. Their default armament is a bow, which has string and arrows made from fire. Their burning red hair is tied into pony tail, the finger-less gloves are visible on their hands, the only armor is on their shoulders.

The [Green Draglings] change to [Ryu-Kunoichi], I think this name suits them more than the English one. Their green scales can turn to camouflage mode, allow them to blend in the surrounding better, their invisible mode is still available, but in the camouflage mode they can move. They can anti-poison and make poison. Quick strike and hide make them become great assassins and information takers, as well as scout units. Their long, dark green hair is tied into a knot. The mask on their face and the body tight clothes kill all unnecessary one shinobi would want.

The [Blue Draglings] change to... um... which one? Mage or Witch? [Magician] then. The magic they can use now not only limit in [Healing], but rather all kind of magic, include [Fire Ball], [Slow], I'm sure Rossweisse-san is interested in them much. Their blue scales immune to magic-level lower than theirs. They wear a blue robe with hood, come with a staff in their hand. Their hands have many metal accessories. Possibly to focus their magic better.

The [Drags] share a psychic link and power to me. As my strength, speed, stamina, etc, increase, theirs will be improved, too.

With my dragon heritage, the [Drags] also resist to fire, low-level magic, can breathe under water, but for now none of them can fly.

With this new army, I'm sure these heroes won't be a pain anymore.

Notes: Vol 16 is on the way. I will try my best to use the details in the new volume.

Edit: Thanks for reminding me, The DragonBard. And for the canon-lover, I'm sorry for Rossweisse's part, I made it up, please forgive me.
