### Chapter 90: Leo’s Ten-Second Slaughter of Six Dragons – Settlement Scene
(Subscription Bonus Update)
Holding hands is his lie.
Hugs are the true goal.
Roswiser looked at that big hand, just about to reach out in response.
Who would have thought that this Dog Man would directly grab her wrist and pull her into his arms?
The queen was already weak and tired, her footing unstable, and she nearly toppled into Leon’s embrace.
The unexpected hug left Roswiser dazed, making the entire dragon freeze in Leon’s arms.
Leon tightly wrapped his arms around Roswiser’s slender waist, holding her as though she might disappear at any moment.
That tender disposition made it seem like he was about to lose her.
He said nothing, did nothing, just hugged his wife, burying his face in her neck, feeling her warmth and the rapid beating of her heart.
Roswiser finally snapped out of it.
Her face went from zero to crimson in an instant.
W-What’s going on here?
Wow, Leon Casmod, so now you’re just hugging me in front of everyone, huh?
In broad daylight, with our daughter and the maids around, you’re bold enough to hug me!
That means when there’s no one around, I can’t even imagine what you’ll do!
The Silver Dragon Queen’s brain was in disarray, her only instinct now was to feel shy.
Her tail involuntarily began to turn a faint red, eventually perking up—
Like an antenna sticking out of her tailbone.
To be honest, she wasn’t this sweaty when facing the combined assaults of two dragon kings.
Meanwhile, Moon blinked and quietly covered Little Light’s eyes, “Kids can’t see this.”
Noia walked over and covered Moon’s eyes too, “Kids can’t see this.”
Milan quietly snuck behind the two ladies, covering Noia’s eyes, “Kids can’t see this.”
Okay, okay, so this juicy melon is only for you maids to enjoy, huh?
Sherry was leaning on Anna’s arm, the Head Maid battered and bruised, yet she still didn’t forget to ship her favorite couple.
“What a pity…” Anna lamented.
“What?” Sherry asked.
“If only I had a camera, I’d definitely capture Your Majesty’s shy moment for a photo collection.”
Sherry looked down at the bl**d soaking Anna’s chest, “Head Maid, you’re still bleeding… can you stop the bleeding before you start shipping?”
“It’s nothing… a minor injury, unlike the sweetness from my ship!”
“…Head Maid, you’re a ship’s casualty for life.”
Meanwhile, Roswiser was still caught in the ‘blush zone’.
She didn’t respond to Leon’s embrace.
Because she didn’t know how to respond.
Moreover, Leon was still holding her arm tightly.
She couldn’t lift her hand, only keeping it pressed against her thigh, making a tiny fist—
Like a penguin.
Her silver tail gradually drooped, her tense body relaxing a bit.
“Are you… planning to keep holding me like this, without saying anything?”
“I really missed you.”
“……”
wu~~~wu~~~
Whose kettle is boiling over there?
Oh~~~
It’s just the Queen getting all steamed up from embarrassment.
“B-Blockhead… with so many people here, can’t you say something else?”
“Can’t.”
“Then let go of me, and we can talk later.”
“I won’t.”
Roswiser: “?”
“Then what will it take for you to let me go?”
“If you say you missed me too, I’ll let you go.”
“……”
The queen slowly turned her head to glance at Anna and the others, whose faces were plastered with ‘gawk’ written all over them.
Their eyes were far more eager to hear “I missed you too” than “I consent.”
If these three weren’t so badly beaten they couldn’t make a sound, they’d already be cheering their heads off.
Roswiser bit her lip.
It’s not that she didn’t want to say it.
It’s just that she was honestly~~~~~ too embarrassed!
Anna, Sherry, and Milan would milk this moment until the end of the universe!
But knowing this Dog Man, if she didn’t say it today, no one would get to go home.
Alright then…
If I must say, here goes nothing!
I’m the Silver Dragon Queen after all!
“I missed you—”
“Ahh!! She said it! The queen said it! Ouch! —Sherry sister, why are you hitting me?”
“Can’t you wait for the queen to finish before popping the champagne?”
“Wuuu, I’m sorry~”
Leon slowly released Roswiser.
It was so warm in his arms.
It was just a result of someone getting all flustered!
“Daddy~”
Seeing her parents cozying up was finally her chance to snuggle with Dad!
Leon turned around, bent down, and picked up Moon, while also grabbing Little Light.
“Daddy, I really missed you! I thought you didn’t want us anymore!” the little dragon girl pouted.
“How could that be, Moon? I’m back, see?”
Pausing for a moment, Leon noticed that Moon seemed to have gained a tiny bit of weight and asked, “Have you been indulging lately? Hmm?”
“Umm…”
“After you went missing, my second sister ate loads and loads of steak in the first month.” Little Light explained.
Leon blinked, “Why?”
“Because! Because… every time you left, as long as Moon ate steak at your funeral, you’d come back!” Moon said seriously.
“……”
Got it.
Steak is the Old Man’s summoning ritual.
He chuckled, giving Moon’s soft cheek a gentle rub, “Now you’ll have to lose some weight, or else Daddy won’t be able to carry you!”
Losing weight is for kids’ health after all.
Moon vigorously nodded, “Got it, Daddy!”
Leon smiled, then looked at Little Light.
The two locked eyes for a moment; finally, Leon slowly said,
“Good job, Little Light.”
The little pink-haired girl blinked, confused, “What… did I do? Why is Dad suddenly praising me?”
“It’s not about how much time you have, but how you use it.”
Leon said, “You really did it, Little Light.”
Before the reversal magic activated, future Noia said that Little Light hadn’t received Leon’s recognition before he disappeared into the Rift.
And for the past twenty years, Little Light had always longed for her father’s praise.
So even though the little pink-haired girl didn’t quite understand everything now, Leon couldn’t wait to shower his precious daughter with compliments.
Claiming that Aurora K. Melkway was the MVP of this time-space rescue wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
“Even if I still don’t fully understand… but Dad praised me, yay!”
“So how will you respond to Dad’s praise?” Leon deliberately leaned his face closer.
Generally, kids would know that at this moment, they should offer a daughter’s kiss, which would make Dad overjoyed.
But Little Light wasn’t an ordinary child.
“Alright, Dad, catch this!”
Uppercut!
Leon saw it coming.
But he still pretended to be defeated by Little Light, making her giggle.
Little Light clapped her hands, celebrating her victory over Dad once more.
After handing the two girls to Roswiser, Leon finally turned to Noia.
Her little face was gray, with a bit of bl**d at the corner of her mouth.
Leon raised his hand to wipe away the dust and bl**d from her face.
Their eyes met, and words weren’t needed; everything was reflected in their sincere gazes.
Finally, Leon stretched his hand out, offering his fist to Noia.
Noia understood immediately, matching her fist with his.
“Was Dad super cool just now?”
“Totally cool, Dad.”
“You’ll be as cool as Dad in the future.”
Noia giggled, stuffing her fist away, and took a step forward to hug Leon.
She whispered in his ear, “I’m proud to have a dad like you, Dad.”
He gently stroked her back, lifting her up, turning to look at Roswiser.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go make Moon some steak!”
