âItâs snowing a lot. Is the God of Winter coming to these lands?â
âNo way.â
âItâs coldâŠis the princess using ice magic around this village so we would not come out of the blankets?â
âOf course not.â
âThe shape where the snow fell is weirdâŠthere might be someone waiting to ambush us, and he or she would have to be at least a swordmaster.â
âWhy are you dumping a swordmaster in the snow?!â
The Metal Bat shouted after taking away my blanket.
âItâs cold since Iâm in front of a windowâŠâ
I trembled at the wind, but the Metal Bat did not seem to care.
âMaster, you seem crazy nowadays!â
While the Metal Bat shouted at me sharply, I had to nod.
âYes, Iâm suspicious of everything in this world.â
âYou had a reason in the past, but now youâre just placing reasons on everything now!â

The Metal Bat was correct, and I was suspicious of everything in this world.
âHoweverâŠâ
I saw my daughter roasting potatoes in the fireplace nearby when I turned my head. A suspicious-looking golden cat slept on my daughterâs lap as her pink hair glistened from the fire.
âMama, is this yummy?â
âYes, roasted potatoes are delicious!â
I saw the highest species of the lizard family in this world with wings and intelligence watching the potatoes next to her.
âJust call it a dragon. Why are you taking so long?â
âI just donât want to acknowledge itâŠâ
I could feel my body go limp as I watched the white snow.
âI meanâŠwell, you canât really expect to see a dragon being born.â
âOf course.â
The Metal Bat had lost some of her sureness as she spoke, and it would also seem weird to her. While the village next to us was big, it was only compared to others around here. This kingdom was small compared to others and was weaker than the empire. The only reason this kingdom was in peace was because of the weather, as the country was not valuable enough to invade, and there was a high chance of freezing in winter during an attack. As this country had those characteristics, it remained in peace despite not having a swordmaster past or present.
âMaster, there is a swordmaster here.â
âYes, thatâs right.â
This kingdom developed magic to survive in the cold rather than swordsmanship, but a swordmaster was right next door. He was even the previous Holy Sword, the most famous of them all.
âHey, my surroundings are going crazy, and not me.â

My suspicions were based on reason.
âThink about it. The old man next door is the previous Holy Sword, and the egg sold in the village market in this small viscounty in this tiny kingdom was a dragon egg! Then, my daughter buys the egg because she wanted to make fried chicken! Whatâs the probability of all these things happening?!â
âUmâŠastronomicalâŠâ
âTherefore, the world is going crazy and not me.â
âI could not agree when youâre your usual self, but the situation nowadays makes me leanâŠâ
It was not mere guesses, as the flow after discovering that my next-door neighbor was the previous Holy Sword was definitely unusual.
The previous Holy Sword, a cat that probably was one of the beast people, and even a dragon appeared. Now, this would be at least the main scenario in progress in a game.
âWhat will come out?â
âUmâŠis there a demon king sealed nearby?â
It was common enough in novels that began with a kingdom in ruins after the demon kingâs attack, as it was a common scenario used in novels in this world and in my past life.
âIsnât that going too far all of a sudden?â
âIsnât a dragon going too far?â
The Metal Bat closed her lips at my question. It was ironic that a goddess somewhere got a chick when she wanted a dragon, and my daughter got a dragon when she wanted a chick.
âWaitâŠâ
I thought of a possibility, which had to be not true but very probable.

âIs Alice, the protagonist?â
Everything started from her, from my next-door neighbor, that suspicious golden cat, choosing that dragon egg, and now becoming the mother of the said dragon!
âIt canât be true.â
My daughter is the protagonist who always had something bothersome going on!
âI think youâre going too far againâŠâ
âNo, my daughter has to be the protagonist!â
Her carefree and innocent attitude spoke protagonist, and her adorable antics would make a prince of this country fall in love with her when she grew up. Even more, she had a suspicious cat and owned a dragon! If that cat was really an aristocrat of the beast people, she would soon possess power that would overwhelm this small country!
âWhat is thisâŠâ
I had searched for signs when I first met her, but I did not realize that she would become like this afterward.
âShe is the protagonistâŠâ
âIn your mindâŠâ
I should now wish that she was the protagonist of a comparatively easy romance fantasy novel. She would live happily after taking care of a few rivalsâŠ
âNo!â
âWhy? Isnât it a good thing that Alice lives happily?â
âI cannot argue against the marriage if she is going to marry a prince!â
âItâs decided that my sister is going to marry a prince in your headâŠâ
