  "Ahem... then I'll make an exception a you stay," Tohru said, clearihroat.

  Although she wasn't thrilled about Ilulu staying with them, she couldn't disobey Roy's decision.

  "Kanna, be o Ilulu. A, you too," Roy instructed with a smile.

  "Okay!" Kanna a nodded, exging gnces.

  They had bee friends and got along well.

  It was getting te, so Roy showed Ilulu to her room.

  Ilulu was even more clueless about the human world than Tohru had been when she first arrived. Roy would have to teach her many things.

  But it was too te now. He would start tomorrow.

  After settling Ilulu in, Roy left her room.

  Tohru was waiting for him, after all.

  Ilulu y in bed for a while, feeling a bit scared in the unfamiliar enviro.

  She got up ao find Roy.

  The living room was empty.

  Following Roy's st, she arrived at his room and barged in without knog.

  "Roy, I 't sleep..."

  But then, she froze, her eyes widening at the sight before her.

  "Tohru, didn't you set up a barrier?" Roy asked, surprised.

  Tohru usually set up a barrier to prevent Kanna and the others from hearing them.

  Only Lucoa, with her superior strength, could bypass it.

  Of course, they didn't know that Lucoa could hear them.

  "I did," Tohru replied.

  "Ilulu, get out!" she hissed, annoyed.

  "What are you doing?" Ilulu, however, didn't leave. She ehe room with a curious smile.

  "Idiot!" Tohru, uo tolerate her preseny longer, appeared behind Ilulu in a fsh and chopped her on the neck.

  Ilulu fainted.

  Tohru sighed in relief, then carried Ilulu back to her room before returning to Roy.

  ...

  The m, Roy found Ilulu watg TV with Kanna a. They seemed to be getting along.

  "Ilulu, 't you transform your cws into hands?" Roy asked curiously, sipping his tea.

  He didn't mind the fme pouch, but the cws and tail seemed inve.

  "Hmm..." Ilulu looked at her cws, then, with a puff of smoke, they transformed into Doraemon-like hands.

  But upon closer iion, they were actually covered in tless tiny hands, like fur.

  It was a creepy sight.

  "Heehee!" Ilulu giggled, raising her hands proudly.

  "What are you ughing at? That's disgusting!" Tohru excimed, her skin crawling.

  "Ahem, Ilulu, I think your cws looked better," Roy said.

  "Eh? Really?" Ilulu asked, tilting her head.

  "Yes," Roy firmed with a nod.

  Ilulu transformed her hands bato cws.

  Roy suspected that Ilulu's poor trol over her powers was due to her ck of guidance since childhood.

  Even Kanna, who was much younger, could transform into a human form perfectly.

  'I should have Ilulu join our Bullet Hell games,' he thought. Although their strength hadn't increased much from pying the game, their trol ic had improved signifitly, ily boosting their bat abilities.

  ...

  After breakfast, Roy decided to take Ilulu to their usual Bullet Hell training ground.

  But as soon as he found her, she dragged him towards the bathroom.

  "Roy, Roy, is this where you go potty? How do you use it?" she asked, pointing at the bathroom with her cws.

  "Yes, it is. Let me teach you," Roy said, opening the door and leading her inside.

  But as soon as they entered, Ilulu closed the door aed a barrier, preventing anyone from seeing or hearing what was happening inside.

  "Ilulu?" Roy looked at her questioningly.

  Ilulu grinned mischievously. "Roy, I want you to teach me... hehe!"

  Roy was stunned. He hadn't expected such a bold move from Ilulu.

  But he didn't know that after witnessing the events of the previous night, Ilulu's dragon desires had been awakened.

  And those desires wouldn't be easily satisfied.

  "Ilulu, you're still young..." Roy tried to reason with her.

  "Eh? What do you mean, young?" Ilulu asked ily, pressing her fme pouch against him.

  Roy eechless.

  "I mean, Tohru and the others are waiting outside. We should hurry," he said, his resolve firm.

  He wouldn't do it ihroom.

  Besides, Ilulu hadn't even fully transformed into her human form yet, though that made it even more tempting.

  Roy shook his head, then forcibly dragged Ilulu out of the bathroom.

  "Sorry for the wait. Let's go," he said to Tohru and the others.

  They the off for the grassnd.

  <><><><>

  At the grassnd...

  "Ilulu, you watch first. You join in ter," Roy said, then turo Tohru. "Tohru, you guys start pying. You teach her ter."

  "Mmm..." Trumbled, but she agreed.

  As soon as Tohru and the others started their Bullet Hell game, Ilulu's eyes sparkled with excitement.

  As a dragon who loved destru and battle, she was instantly captivated by the game.

  After Tohru taught her how to use magic bullets, they began their duel.

  However, Ilulu, o the game, was no match for Tohru.

  She was quickly overwhelmed.

  But Ilulu was stubborn and refused to give up.

  Unfortunately, her stubbornness only led to another defeat.

  ...

  Back at the apartment that night...

  "Roy, I'm hurt!" Ilulu whined, ging to Roy.

  Her ess almost made Roy's heart melt.

  Tred at her, wanting to throw her out.

  Kanna a also eyed her with jealousy.

  With Ilulu joining them, their home was even livelier.

  Roy was sidering taking all the Dragon Maids back to his world.

  But then, an ued visitor interrupted his thoughts.

  "Father-in-w, what brings you here today?" Roy asked the white-bearded old man who had suddenly appeared in their living room. It was the Dragon Emperor of Demise.

  "Dragon Emperor-sama!"

  "Father!"

  Tohru and the others were surprised by his sudden visit.

  "I want to have a word with you," the Dragon Emperor said to Roy, ign the others.

  "A private versation?"

  "Yes."

  "Then please follow me."

  The Dragon Emper Tohru, then followed Roy.

  Tohru and the others exged curious gnces.

  ...

  Roy and the Dragon Emperor ehe study.

  Roy set up a barrier, theured towards the sofa. "Father-in-w, please have a seat."

  The Dragon Emperor sat down without a word.

  "What brings you here?" Roy asked, p him a cup of tea.

  "Would you like to know about the Dragons and Tohru's past?" the Dragon Emperor asked in a deep voice.

  "I'm all ears," Roy replied, intrigued. He suspected there was more to this visit than just a casual chat.

  "Dragons have always been embroiled in endless battles. We throw all our strength into every fight, stantly ing everything. Our reason fhting is to defeat the gods..." the Dragon Emperan, reting the history of the Dragons.

  "To return this world to a state without rulers. We hate being trolled, so we fight for freedom."

  "At first, the Dragons were united, but gradually, some betrayed us and joihe gods."

  "And there were those who saw the futility of war and chose to remairal."

  "These two fas became known as the Harmony fa and the Observers."

  "And we were forced to bear the name of the Chaos fa, those wh chaos to the world."

  "The war sted for turies, followed by turies of preparation for the war."

  "During this endless cycle, I had a child. Her name is Tohru."

  "From the moment she was born, Tohru was bound by the Dragon society's rules. And as her father, I also pressured her."

  "But I believe that was wrong. Perhaps I was influenced by humans."

  "So I decided to give Tohru some freedom. I let her travel and experiehe world, hoping she would form her own opinions."

  "Tohru, without prejudice, learned about the things that ied her."

  "I thought she would eventually uand why the Chaos fa despises humans."

  "But she lost trol."

  "She went to the gods' territory alone and was severely ihat's how she ended up in this world."

  "As for why Tohru went to the gods' territory alone..." The Dragon Emperor paused.

  "She must have thought that defeating the gods would end the war," Roy said.

  Having experiehe world, Tohru must have uood the importance of peace.

  "Yes, that's why she was so desperate for peace," the Dragon Emperor firmed.

  "So?" Roy looked at him expetly, waiting for him to reveal his true purpose.

  His father-in-w wouldn't have e here just for a casual chat.

  "Tohru 't avoid the war, even with your prote..." the Dragon Emperor said, his gaze intense.

  "So you wao join the Chaos fa?"

  "Yes. I believe you kill gods."

  Roy pondered his words.

  The Dragon Emperor wanted him to help them defeat the gods.

  His long speech was just a way of saying that war was iable.

  Even if he hadn't said it, Roy wouldn't let the god who had io unpunished.

  Moreover, bringing peace to the world was Tohru's wish.

  He had to agree.

  "Alright, I accept," Roy decred.

  The Dragon Emperor smiled.

  "I'll be waiting for you."

  He opened a portal and stepped through it.
