"Okay, my Ariel is awesome!

Caledor's perfunctory attitude made Ariel very unhappy, and she crossed her hands on her hips, facing Caledo's anger.

"What, as a master, is this how you sent your beautiful and clever apprentice? And it's that kind of perfunctory praise that also praises yourself by the way, really, Parker, you bully people!"

Although Ariel seems to be angry on the surface, Caledo's emotions can be known through the contract, and Ariel does not deliberately block the contractual connection between them, so Calledo knows that she is not angry at all.

"Okay, it's my fault, so what kind of compliment do you want?"

"Well..."

Ariel crossed her fingers on her chest, pretending to be thinking and tangled, and then said mysteriously, "Then Parker, close your eyes!"

"......" Caledor felt that Ariel had been thinking about a reward for a long time, and was ready to get all kinds of strange requests.

However, he didn't expect Ariel to ask him to close his eyes, which is usually a first kiss routine.

And with Ariel's personality and her level of attachment to herself, the probability of losing her first kiss after closing her eyes is nine out of ten things.

Ariel, who had not received a response for a long time, also seemed a little flustered and embarrassed, and even if these emotions were suppressed by her, they were sensed a little by Caledor.

"Why do you close your eyes?"

Caledor asked, still pretending not to know anything.

"Don't worry about it so much!"

Ariel loses her temper in annoyance, and Calledo is even more sure how unusual what she's going to do next, just...

Caledor closed his eyes anyway, and then he felt that Ariel's mood had stabilized a lot.

Without hesitation, Ariel's soft lips tapped lightly on Caledor's lips, and then a strong sense of satisfaction came from Ariel.

Compared to Ariel's fluctuating emotions, Calledo didn't react much to the loss of his first kiss, and there was a strong feeling when the two lips touched, but it quickly disappeared.

Caldoro opened his eyes, looked at Ariel, who was blushing and grinning, and touched his lips.

The dragon's instincts had changed his habits, and kissing the humanoid creature itself as a sign of affection no longer allowed his body to react much.

But physiology is physiology, and Caledo's heart is still very unsettled.

Now that Ariel's feelings for herself have completely exploded, her actions are just to show him that she loves her.

Although she was sad again because she couldn't bear to refuse, it didn't mean that Calledo could accept her love.

In the other room, although Ariel is actually a very mature child, she is just a teenage girl after all, and she may not be able to distinguish between the love of family-like attachment and the love of lovers.

Caledo's face seemed to be covered with a haze because of the complicated mood and the troubles that had suddenly increased, and Ariel, who was already a little angry because Calledo didn't react for a long time, couldn't help it at all.

"Hey, Parker! you... What do you mean by that expression?!"

"Ugh. Calledo came to his senses and quickly apologized to Ariel, who was furious with her hands crossed over her chest.

"I'm sorry, I'm just scared, haha..."

"It's this perfunctory attitude again, don't you still understand what people mean?"

Obviously, Ariel doesn't eat Caledo, and it seems that she wants Caledo's answer today.

Caledo, who knew that he couldn't put it off any longer, had no choice but to take it seriously, and he sighed, not so serious, but a little relaxed.

"Ariel, do you like me?"

"Yes, of course!"

Ariel answered without hesitation, from the sincerity of her heart, and there was no mental barrier to her direct contract with Caledo, so her emotions were completely transmitted to Caledo.

Ariel's mind seemed to have a dark swamp, if I had to describe it, and she sat on the only tree in the swamp, which was large and leafy, allowing her to get away from the mire below and climb out of the fog to see the sun.

And that tree is Caledo.

She sees herself as everything she has, and if she loses herself, Ariel will fall into the quagmire from which she will not be able to extricate herself.

Feeling this, Calledo felt that he had asked a stupid question.

"Because I saved you, took you in, or did I teach you magic?"

Calledo wants to guide Ariel to figure out the root cause of his affection for him, so that he can reject her in a softer way.

But Caledor is not a master of feelings, otherwise he would not be bothered by the two girls in the family, and his words made Ariel even more angry.

"No! neither!but... But it's all -- I just like Parker, do you hate me, do you hate me?"

"No, it's impossible to hate it, you're my good apprentice!"

“...... Stupid... Stupid! Parker, you're fooling me like that again, you know I'm asking you something. ”

Ariel couldn't hold back at all, and in her heart she longed to be a flower to take root in the tree, and be with the tree forever.

"Alas... Ariel, sorry. Calledo wasn't going to beat around the bush anymore, and his expression became a little solemn.

"Best friends, mentors and apprentices, brothers and sisters, it's okay, but we can't be lovers, so if your liking is at the level of lovers, I'm sorry, I can't respond to you. ”

Ariel fell silent after receiving an affirmative answer, and from Caledo's refusal to face it, she had vaguely guessed Caledo's thoughts, and now that she knew the truth, Ariel was even more unwilling.

"Can you tell me why?"

"What to say... I guess because I don't belong here. ”

"But I belong to you, Parker, don't you understand? From that moment on, I was left with you alone..."

Ariel looked so depressed that she almost cried, but Caledor felt a sour feeling at her words.

Afraid of losing the only support, afraid of falling into loneliness again, Ariel, she is very similar to her former self.

But that's the case, Caledor already has a place in his heart, a girl who has known each other for a short time, but makes Calledo feel more at ease than in Dragon Island, it seems to be love at first sight, Calledo unknowingly likes her.

There are so many things that Caledor needs to do now, and it is a pure accident to get entangled with Ariel's fate, and part of what he has done to Ariel is in his own rightful responsibility.
