Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 158 : Vacation (2)

Before leaving for the island, Lucas met with Hasel and had a conversation.

Hasel, who had heard that about a dozen demons had come for him, was on the verge of chasing after them immediately, but he had barely calmed down due to the dissuasion of those around him.

'He said Ally also participated in the investigation.'

And as expected, he said that a few dragons had opposed the war with the demons.

Therefore, Hasel, who needed even one more person, had made Ally, who was on probation, participate in the investigation.

'You old, useless ancient dragons.'

A few ancient dragons, who knew that their days were numbered, acted as if they wanted to avoid troublesome things and told them to do as they pleased.

'What? Didn't we all live long enough?'

Lucas's expression crumpled into a scowl as he packed a few things into his subspace.

'Damn bastards!'

They were the ones who had welcomed the expulsion of the demons with open arms in his past life. But now they were telling him to do as he pleased?

He was furious at their selfishness.

-Knock, knock

At the sound of a knock, Lucas, who had let out a small sigh, left the room.

***

As he went downstairs, Caitlin was the first to arrive and was waiting for the children.

"It's been a while."

Caitlin, who saw Lucas, bowed her head in greeting.

"It's been a while."

"Right. Do you know the coordinates of the island we're going to today?"

"Ah, it should be on the map I received last time."

Caitlin took out a map from her bosom and checked.

"Yes. It's here."

"Right. Then let's just go by teleportation."

At that, Caitlin's eyes widened.

"Are you saying we should all go by teleportation?"

"Yes."

Caitlin, whom he had met after a long time, had a much better complexion than before.

"Will that be alright?"

In any case, since Caitlin had a rough idea of his skills, it was comfortable.

"Aren't you the only escort anyway?"

"That's right, but..."

"Then let's do that. Tell them we'll go without a coachman."

The port wasn't that far anyway, and since Caitlin was there, it would be fine without a coachman.

"Yes. Understood."

So they would just park the carriage in a quiet place in the forest with the children, go, and then come back in the evening and ride it back.

"Rookie! Caitlin unni!"

Pola came down, waving her hand.

"You're here?"

"You're here?"

"Aish! I told you to speak comfortably."

Pola glared at Caitlin, as if displeased with her formal speech.

"Okay."

"Yeah. How do I look? How do I look, unni?"

"You look really pretty."

Pola, wearing a light pink dress, twirled around and showed off her appearance.

"Pretty."

"Right? Auntie bought it for me!"

"Yeah. The hat is pretty too."

"Auntie bought this for me too! And this too!"

Pola, who was so excited, lifted her wide-brimmed hat once and put it down, and then quickly lifted her foot and put it down.

"The shoes are pretty too."

Pola, who was even more excited at Lucas's compliment, giggled.

"Unni!"

Nella came down.

"Nella!"

Today, even Nella's voice was high with excitement.

"It's really pretty. Rookie, look quickly. It's the same dress, hat, and shoes as me."

The two of them were wearing the same dress in different colors, and even their shoes and hats were all the same.

"That's right. Nella's is blue. It suits you well. It's pretty."

"Right?"

"Yeah."

Nella also slowly twirled around and showed off her appearance.

"Haha."

Lucas, who saw that, smiled faintly. To Lucas, they all seemed like young children at times like these.

"Kir!"

This time, Skir appeared in a light outfit with linen shorts.

"Oh~ the young master of the ducal family. You're a little cute today?"

"Ahem! Cute. I'm more on the handsome side."

Then he bowed with a stylish etiquette.

"Shall we go, my lady."

And then he offered one of his arms to Pola.

"Pfft! You're funny. Really."

But Pola just hit Skir's arm and laughed out loud.

"Ugh! Pola. I told you violence is bad."

"Hahaha! Sorry. Sorry."

Skir pouted his lips as he rubbed his arm.

"Now, let's go."

"Right!"

Leaving the Count's estate, the carriage stopped in the forest they had entered.

"Let's go by teleportation."

"...Isn't a boat better?"

Skir said, rubbing the area around his solar plexus at Lucas's words. The aftereffects of teleportation were scary.

"Drink this first. Then it will be much better."

As Lucas handed him a potion vial, they all took a sip and shared it.

"Now, let's go."

Lucas, who had confirmed the coordinates, held out his arm.

-Flash!

"Wow!"

Perhaps thanks to the medicine they had drunk beforehand, they arrived at the island in a very good condition, and Pola, who was the first to check the surroundings, let out a cry of admiration.

"Amazing."

"It's really cool, isn't it?"

The resort that Gold Nine was building was quite nice. No, in fact, it was amazing.

The white sandy beach that surrounded the island with the emerald sea sparkled in the sunlight, and as if there were magic tools, refreshing songs were echoing from all over the island.

"Look over there!"

And there were cute bungalows with thatched roofs here and there, and an artificial waterfall was pouring down in the middle of the island.

"It's really, really amazing!"

Seeing that there was a place that looked like a ticket office at the pier, it seemed that Gold Nine was planning to charge an entrance fee.

"Welcome!"

A man with a handsomely tanned skin approached.

"I am Carlos. I have been contacted by the guild master! I thought you would come by boat, but as expected, you have arrived stylishly by teleportation!"

"Hello."

They also exchanged greetings at Carlos's greeting.

"Now, today is an island just for you! All the amenities have been opened for you, so please feel free to use them as you wish."

Carlos gestured with his hand to the bungalows behind him.

"What you see over there is the drink booth. Beer, whiskey, and even cocktails are all prepared. Our island's pride, our bartender friend Sam, will prepare them for you!"

"Oh..."

As Skir let out a small exclamation of admiration at those words, Pola, standing next to him, poked him in the side.

"Hey. Don't you drink."

"Ahem."

"Haha! Of course, we can also make them without alcohol, so please feel free to stop by anytime. And what you see over there is the restaurant. We have prepared plenty of ingredients, so if you request anything you want to eat at any time, we will whip it up and bring it to you!"

Carlos pretended to flip a frying pan.

"And over there are the shower rooms and changing rooms. The left is for men, and the right is for women! Now, and behind there, there are accommodations prepared so you can rest comfortably at any time. Of course, you can also shower comfortably there!"

Everything was really prepared.

"And everyone, please take one of these."

Carlos held out a bracelet with a rough pendant to each of them.

"Do you see the indented part in the middle? If you press it like this, our staff will come to where you are at any time."

"Wow..."

"Amazing."

This was a system that even Lucas couldn't help but admire.

'Does everything have to be a little crazy for there to be progress?'

It was an amazing tool created by the money-crazy Ally.

"But please note that the signal may weaken if you go too far."

Lucas, who had briefly thought of using this bracelet for the children, gave up the idea when he heard that the reception distance was short.

"Ah! And. If you look over there, there is also a clothing store. If you didn't bring a swimsuit, please feel free to stop by and take whatever you want."

And then Carlos brought his hand to the side of his mouth and lowered his voice.

"The guild master said to provide everything for free, so you can take a whole armful when you leave."

As he winked playfully, the children giggled.

"Caitlin unni! Let's go and change our clothes quickly."

"I..."

Caitlin briefly glanced at Lucas.

"Let's do that. There's no need for you to be an escort here."

As Lucas nodded his head, Caitlin nodded her head as if embarrassed and was led away by Pola's hand, pretending she couldn't resist.

"Lucas. Aren't you going to play in the water?"

"No."

Of course, he had no intention of doing so.

"Then I guess I won't either..."

At that, Skir hung his head with a crestfallen expression.

"Why?"

"I'm the only man, isn't it embarrassing... and my reputation, too."

"Hah..."

Since they had even kindly prepared a clothing store, he couldn't say he didn't have clothes.

"Right. Let's do it."

Since it had come to this, Lucas, who had thought he should at least dip his feet in the water for Skir's sake, answered.

"Really? Then let's go and look at the clothes quickly!"

Skir also seemed to be playing in the water at a beach like this for the first time. It was understandable. Since nobles valued their reputation, they would not have had the opportunity to enjoy swimming in the sea without being conscious of others.

"Right."

Since even the oldest, Skir, was this excited, Lucas's heart also floated up.

The sand breaking under the warm sunlight. And the scent of tropical fruits and music.

'Right. It's just for a day.'

These days, Lucas had been having such thoughts. Why hadn't he spent more time with the people around him during the peaceful past few years?

'I must be disappointed because I'm about to lose it.'

As the demons began to come up to the surface, the thought that all of this could be broken made his regrets pile up day by day.

'So it's okay to let go a little today and focus on this.'

Although it was an island with only them, the laughter was fuller than ever.

When even Lucas came out after changing into a swimsuit, the children at first looked at each other with slightly awkward expressions.

Just then.

-Pang! Pang-pang!

"Kyaak! Nella!"

"Ugh! It's cold!"

"Hehe! You're jealous!"

Nella summoned the Naiads and gave the children a water shower.

"I won't let you get away with this!"

Pola and Skir chasing after her.

'Damn it.'

Lucas, who had also been showered with water, was cursing inwardly, but his mouth was smiling.

-K-kwaaaang!

As a huge water bomb was created behind Lucas, Nella and the children ran away, shouting.

"Ugh! Oppa!"

"Won't we die if we get hit by that!"

"Kyaaak!"

Lucas looked at them with a wicked smile.

"Who threw the water bomb first."

At that, Skir and Pola pointed their fingers at Nella.

"To betray your younger sister. The traitor must also be punished."

"Ugh! It's unfair!"

-Pew! Pew! Pew!

Small streams of water shot out from the huge water bomb and began to hit the children.

"Kyahaha!"

Lucas chasing the fleeing children.

"Stop right there!"

"Ugh! Run! His eyes are a little strange!"

-Pew! Pew!

The children were constantly laughing while being showered with water.

"Defense! We must defend!"

"Put on a buff!"

The children began to counterattack.

"Nella! Hurry!"

"Yeah!"

While Pola briefly blocked Lucas's magic, Nella summoned the Naiads and gave an order.

"Attack the same way!"

-Understood.

-Just trust us.

At that, the Naiads gathered small water droplets and began to shoot them at Lucas.

-Pew! Pew!

"Hahaha! What a pathetic attack!"

-Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

"Caitlin unni! Don't just watch, help us!"

Just then, Pola requested reinforcements.

"Hahaha. Okay! Gnome, help me!"

-K-kurururung!

At that, a wall of sand was created and firmly blocked the children's path.

"Hurry! Hide behind it!"

"Khaha! What a pathetic defensive position!"

Lucas decided to be the villain for the children today.

'What am I even doing.'

Although he was grumbling inwardly, Lucas was playing with all his might, as if playing with eight-year-old children.

They played like that for a long time, having a water fight, and then went into the sea and enjoyed swimming.

"Ugh! I'm so tired."

"I'm hungry, right?"

"Yeah. But aren't we eating, drinking, and playing too much?"

"Hey. That's what a vacation is. That's why this is a resort."

They drank drinks with pretty umbrellas stuck in them and ate a lot of delicious skewers.

'It's fun.'

Lucas, too, had a very enjoyable day today.
