I won't deny that

A Container sitting in a Japanese-style backyard. Inside it, a cozy Western-style living space. And there I was, lounging without a care in the world.

By the way, I went back to my base to sleep last night like normal. No need to spend the night inside the Container, after all. Just lock it up tight from the inside, head back to my base, and I'm home sweet home in my own comfy bed.

"Master, here's your tea."

"Mm, thanks Aishia."

I sipped the tea Aishia had brewed and let out a contented sigh. Ahh, today's shaping up to be another good day.

That's when my pet showed up. Panties on full display. Does this cat have no shame? I'm gonna rub her butt.

"Fwaaah… morning nya."

"Morning, Misha. You might want to put on a skirt or something."

"Your wife was rubbing my butt all over the place yesterday nya… take it up with her nya, it's not my fault nya."

Not that I have any complaints, mind you. Misha looks like a beautiful girl, so it's a treat for the eyes.

"I'll put something on when I go outside nya. Besides, it's all girls here, so what's the big deal nyan? Ah. Arthur's male though nya. Well, he's a dragon so it doesn't count nyan."

"… … Right! Well, there's no problem if I'm the one enjoying the view, yeah?"

"On second thought, I'll put something on nya. Oh right, you swing that way with girls too nya."

"How rude. That makes it sound like I'm into guys too."

For the record, Dea-kun is Dea-kun, so he's the exception.

Aishia casually set out some toast, a fried egg, and salad for Misha's breakfast. Misha plopped down at the table and started scarfing it down.

"So, you're going to track down that dragon and negotiate today nya?"

"That's the plan."

"… Is Karina seriously this Dragon Priestess Princess nyan?"

"What are you talking about? 'Princess' is a title that suits Dea-kun way more."

"Well yeah, that's true nya, but I meant in the sense of being able to talk with dragons as equals nya."

Hmm. If that's the definition, then I'd have to admit I qualify.

"Well, I'm stronger than dragons anyway. My fist can shatter a dragon's fang."

"Hahaha, quit joking nya. What kind of fist is harder than a dragon's fang nya?"

"Here, this is one of Arthur's fangs. Punched it right off him."

I pulled the fang I'd punched off Arthur before out of Spatial Magic and showed it to her.

"Wait, seriously?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Arthur. Why do you think he sticks with us in the first place?"

"… Because Dea-chan is cute?"

"I won't deny that."

Just then, Dea-kun and Arthur woke up and wandered over.

That said, he was properly groomed and wearing his Priestess Princess outfit today too—the Gothic Lolita Dress.

Maybe I should stick a headdress on Arthur too. Here, you can borrow mine?

"Morning, you two."

"Good morning. I forgot we were staying over here today."

"Yo! Today's finally the day we battle that dragon! Show 'em what you're made of, Anego!"

Arthur was hyped up too. And clearly intent on making me do all the work.

I'd been curious about the second dragon too, so I didn't mind.

"… By the way, didn't Youki-san say she'd serve us breakfast at her place?"

"Ah."

Come to think of it, we did talk about that. Oops, I already ate without thinking.

I glanced at Misha, who was currently in the middle of eating.

"… I'll eat two portions nya!!"

"What a glutton, Misha. There, there, good girl."

"At least rub my chin or head instead of my butt nya!?"

Ahh, this butt really does feel amazing to pet. The Divine Butt lives up to its name!
