Faf's Daily Life

Faf is a dragon, nanodesu. But, she isn't just your ordinary dragon. She

possesses divinity, which makes her a Dragon God.

So, why was someone of my status inside this cold labyrinth? Faf had

already forgotten about the reason, nodesu. Maybe, someone asked Faf to

safeguard this dungeon a really long, long, long time ago, nodesu. Although

she forgot the reason, she remembered that "someone" told her that it's an

extremely important duty, nodesu. Thus, protecting this dungeon mattered

the most to Faf, nodesu. In that way, Faf had been waiting for a challenger

to come, nodesu.

And, that moment finally arrived one day, nodesu. It was the moment when

Faf met Master, nodesu! A single swing of Master's sword melted the

extremely durable wall behind Faf, nodesu. This place was protected by a

special barrier that couldn't be destroyed by a half-hearted attack, nodesu.

Faf had been really scared of Master at that time, but she suddenly

remembered the words told by the "someone," who asked her to protect this

place, nodesu.

Someone will come to release you someday. When that time comes, you

must follow that person.

That was why Faf wanted to follow Master. Thus, she made her wish.

After that, my cohabitation with Master began.

We ate together!

We explored the dungeon together!

""

We trained martial arts together!

We read books together!

And we slept together, nodesu!

Especially―

「Master, Faf, delicious, nodesu!」

The meal Master cooks are so delicious that Faf always makes an entranced

face while eating the meal, nodesu.

「I see. Thank goodness!」

Master always gently pats Faf's head, and Faf unintentionally shuts her

eyes since she feels really comfortable.

After finishing breakfast and leaving the house with Master, Faf saw

Girimekhala kneeling along with a few of his subordinates outside Master's

house, nodesu. Since these subordinates' faces seem unfamiliar, they might

be the newcomers, nodesu.

『Our Supreme Ruler, they are my new subordinates.』

""

Seeing Girimekhala's subordinates nervously, Master gave his usual praise

and encouragement, nodesu.

「Yeah, I appreciate your effort!」

『Thank you for your blessings!』

The subordinates squeezed out those words, their faces filled with tears and

their bodies trembling in joy, nodesu.

For Girimekhala and the others, Master isn't just their Master; he's the

object of their faith. He's like a god to them. Thus, Master's words are

equal to a divine revelation to them, nodesu.

And, Faf also feels proud when she sees how they honour Faf's most

beloved master.

Today, too, Faf will explore the dungeon with Master.

The thing Faf loves the most is exploring the dungeon with Master. Because

Faf is the only one he allows to go along with him whenever he explores the

dungeon.

Faf followed Master, and we arrived on the 750th floor, nodesu.

The 750th floor was a giant marshland with nothing but a salamander

waiting in the middle of the floor.

That salamander had an extremely terrifying regeneration. It didn't die no

matter how many times it got cut down. Although Master said that it was an

extremely troublesome opponent, he didn't realize that when he said those

words, the tips of his lips had formed a grin.

When Master finally defeated that salamander, he muttered in a small voice.

「I see. It ended already…」

When Faf saw Master's ephemeral profile and the melancholic look on his

face, Faf's chest tightened. She embraced Master as if she'd never let him

go, nodesu.

「Is something the matter, Faf?」

When Faf timidly raised her face, she saw Master patting Faf's head with

the usual smile on his face, nodesu.

「It's nothing, nodesu.」

Feeling relieved, Faf buried her face in Master's chest, nodesu.

「Shall we go back to the— Uhm, what in the heck is that?」

As Matter patted Faf's head, he suddenly saw countless lumps of jiggly

liquid come out from the salamander's corpse.

「Are they slimes?」

The slimes swarmed around the bewildered Master.

「Get away, nodesu!」

Master is under attack. Faf was about to leap. The impatience in her heart

made her feel like it would tear her heart off,

「It's okay, Faf. These fellows aren't hostile.」

Master raised his hand to stop Faf, then patted the slimes who were clinging

on his feet, nodesu.

The slimes were happily jiggling, clearly delighted by Master's pats.

「Did you guys, by chance, get trapped inside that monster?」

Master pondered the matter when he saw all the slimes jiggling together.

「You're already free. You may live as you like from now on.」

He said to them as if he were rejecting them, then turned around to return to

the surface, nodesu.

However, the slimes followed Master back to the surface, nodesu. Then,

they became members of the subjugation picture book before I realized it,

nodesu. At first, those slimes looked like they wanted to repay the debt of

gratitude toward Master, nodesu. But, in the end, they became completely

enticed by him, nodesu.

I mean, Master wasn't just super strong, nodesu. There was something else

besides his strength that made everyone in the subjugation picture him

looooooooooooooooooooove him very much, nodesu!

However, aside from happiness, there was a hint of anxiety in my heart. For

some reason, Faf couldn't forget the melancholic look on Master's face

back then, nodesu.

Someday, Master might be gone. Faf couldn't help but keep thinking about

that matter lately, nodesu.

That's why, when Master patted Faf's head before we went to sleep as he

did every day, Faf decided to ask him, nodesu.

「Master?」

「Uhm? Is something the matter?」

「You'll never leave Faf, right?」

Master seemed slightly taken aback when he heard this question. But that

surprise only lasted for a moment and was replaced with his usual smile.

""

「Yeah, I'll never leave your side.」

He declared so as if he had realized the implication behind my question,

nodesu. Faf, who felt really relaxed and freed from anxiety, could finally

close her eyes, nodesu. She entered the dreamland soon after that, nodesu.

Please, may this happiness last forever…
