You're Important To Me

-----

So, after the dinner was ready, we enjoyed the dinner at a large table we had crafted beforehand, we had to make a lot for everyone, but this wasn't enough for my big stomach, even in this form. Thankfully, Benladann always makes a lot of soup for me, and I also had a few other monsters roasting, which I ate while eating the hot pot. Some ate from them too, but they were way too many, so I ended eating most of them, naturally.

After things were done, the kids quickly went to bed after taking a warm bath, so we were left alone.

"Well… I should go back to my dragon form if you still want to sleep at my side," I said.

"Wait! C-Could you stay like that?" asked Benladann.

"I could… But are you sure?" I asked.

"…Yeah, I want to… hug you as we sleep… In this form, you're softer," said Benladann, while getting redder.

Of course, I cannot resist such a request.
