A guardian for the Familiars, that what she had initially tried to get going as a role, only to end up somehow siding with Grigori in Canon because of some encounters with Azazel.

But now? Now I was supposed to be the one to make first contact with the powerful being, my mind already pressing me on making sure to not create any messes out of that important task.

I was nervous alright, and Tsubaki had slowly realized as we continued our conversation that the one I was trying to find was someone particularly dangerous and well-beyond my means of actually damaging without getting bodied by her.

The bespectacled girl could technically land a shot or two back on the Dragon thanks to her Sacred Gear as Mirror Alice was capable of returning back to the sender any attacks with double their initial power… twice a day.

It was a genuinely impressive ability, but one with some limiting cool-down.

Kimiko continued to nuzzle close to my face, seemingly unfazed by the length of the walk both Tsubaki and I were going through.

With no danger threatening her perch, the Sprite Dragon had easily kept herself from making any sudden reactions at the discussion I had with the young woman, perhaps actually understanding my words over 'not hissing at friends'.

Rassei himself had been quite the smart little guy as he would easily comprehend Asia's words, but quite unwilling to accept the notion of 'allowing males around his Master'.

The tiny dragon on my shoulder wasn't following this very mindset, surprisingly enough limiting her annoyance over the fellow female presence with just lazy and dull looks that were thrown at the girl once in a while during the stroll.

Still, our march finally reached its conclusion as we managed to arrive to one of the edges that led to the lake itself.

We stopped there, the sensor seals suggesting that the big dragon was somehow in front of us and away through that body of water.

Looking around for any distant signs of a Dragon lurking about, or even a blue-haired woman which was Tiamat's human form, we ended up spotting a large frame lurking far away.

Some mist was covering its entire figure away from offering our attention any other details about it.

But there was no doubt in my mind that the large being that was quietly waddling in that distant part of the lake was none other than the Chaos Karma Dragon.

...How do we get her attention then?

That very issue materialized in my mind as I thought about the large distance between us and the powerful creature, with the means of attracting her attention limited to particularly rude ways that would only screw things up early on.

"We could try and use a magic seal," Tsubaki proposed calmly. "While the magical-induced mist might reduce its presence, Tiamat should still perceive that."

I frowned at that. "Still, she might think of it as some random magical effect because of the Familiars around," I mused grimly as I saw some Undines flexing in the distance, while some dryads were working on creating some trees by some of the small islands in the middle of the lake.

Seriously, how was I supposed to gain her attention without making some wrong steps.

Waiting wasn't an acceptable option considering the limited time I was working with, and I didn't have any magical mean to reach out for the resting Dragon.

But just as I felt irritated by the lack of practical options, I felt Kimiko nuzzling my chin once more.

"Papa, more belly-rubs. I wanna more."

I froze up in surprise at that, just now noticing this cute feminine voice coming straight from the Sprite Dragon's lips.

Realization kicked shortly after as I remembered how Familiars could be understood by their Masters thanks to their bond and… I felt an idea growing at this little development while resuming with the belly-rubbing for the greedy girl.

"Kimiko-tan, can you help me gain the attention of that dragon over there?" I inquired with a quiet tone, the Familiar blinked at the request, but offering a small nod at me.

Tsubaki bestowed me with a frown for trying to ask for help from the little dragon, but soon enough the tiny girl started to inhale deeply and strongly, her chest swelling and puffing in preparation for whatever she had planned to do.

But while the bespectacled girl heard a surprisingly loud 'KII!' coming from Kimiko, with my connection with her, I knew exactly what the Sprite Dragon was saying in that loud exclamation.

"LADY, YOU'RE FAT AND DUMB!"

From this very circumstance, I learned about two facts that I really hadn't contemplated much about.

The first one was that the lake had an amazing acoustic and thus any yells or screams would echo smoothly through its surface.

The second thing was that… Tiamat had some sensible ears, capable of hearing any tiny insult directed at her.

"Is something wrong Hoitsu-" Tsubaki froze in the midst of that sentence as she noticed a swift change in the previous 'calm', a development arising from beyond the mist surrounding the blue-scaled Dragon.

A pair of unholy dark-blue eyes were shining through the veil- announcing the beginning of what was going to be a situation well beyond my early estimation.

To be fair, there was no other hint of the dangerous being having caught onto the insulting words dispensed by the pretty ballsy girl that was now returning her attention back at the belly-scratching.

…

I paled to a deadly shade of white when I saw the figure soaring just above the water's surface, breaching through the mist as she swiftly landed right in front of us.

Nowhere in Canon was Tiamat ever given a proper 'appearance' to be wary about. Only description present in the Light Novels.

A Dragon King, the Chaos Karma Dragon- this behemoth stared at us from above, and she didn't seem amused by what had brought her to us.

"Who said that?" The blue-scaled being questioned with a thunderous voice. "Who dared insult me as such?!"
