RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse

While they were waiting to test the evolution portion of the new way of gaining strength, Blake found himself being stared at no matter where he went. When he turned, he would always see a pouty face of a certain harpy. "Hina, what's wrong?"

"Nothing! Humph!" Hina snorted and turned, and walked away.

Blake scratched his head, not really understanding, as he walked towards Thardra's place. When he arrived, the door was wide open, and there seemed to be an argument going on. "Even if you are an elder dwarf, this is no way to be hammering this piece of metal!"

"You damn old man do not tell me how to work! This is why we elder dwarves never get into big groups! It's like pulling teeth with you damn youngins who think they know every damn thing! Can't you tell I am hammering it this way to push more impurities out of the metal!? Or are you too damn blind to even see the impurities in the first place?" Thardra's angered voice roared through the room and out into the hall. Blake walked in to see Josline's grandfather and Thardra staring at each other as if they were about to kill each other.

"Huh? How is that pushing shit out!? That is the worst technique I have ever seen in my life! I asked for you to forge me a damn sword, not a toothpick! And here I thought elder dwarves were supposed to be better than us normal dwarves, it seems it was all a lie! Are you sure you are an elder dwarf!?" Josline's grandfather shot back. His whole face was red, and his beard was fluttering. He had never been so mad in his entire life!

"You! How am I not an elder dwarf!? Look at my damn beard!" Thardra roared once more. Blake, on the other hand, wondered what the hell his beard had anything to do with anything.

"Huh!? So what if your beard is a bit shinier? Mine is, too, after a few glasses of ale!" Josline's grandfather did not seem like he was going to back down anytime soon.

"Huh! Fine, I will prove I am an elder dwarf and no more than you, you damn old coot!" Thardra pulled out a barrel of ale and slammed it on the floor. It was just that it was the sat height as him but also wider! "We will drink! Whoever passes out first is wrong!"

"Fine!" Josline's grandfather immediately agreed, but a cunning flash of light flashed across his eyes. It seemed he had gotten what he wished for!

Blake slowly began to back up. He decided to just let the two old men drink to their heart's content. Or so he thought…. "Lad, get over here and drink with us!"

Josline's grandfather had long known Blake was there. He waved Blake over, who could not say no, and sat down. Three days and two nights. This was how long the three drank for before the barrel was emptied. The only one still standing was Blake, who had just strengthened his organs. He looked at the two old men passed out in their chairs and wondered to himself: "Does this make me the elder dwarf?"

Stumbling out of Thardra's workshop, he made his way to his room, only to suddenly stop and look around. "Hina, I know you are there."

"I am not! Humph!" Hina, who was there, snorted and ran away again.

Blake once more shrugged and walked to the bedroom to find his wives all ignoring him. He sighed as he walked over to the bed, grabbed Mona, and had his way with her. It only took one girl crying out in pleasure for the rest to jump in.

The next morning he pulled Lillia aside and asked: "Do you know what is going on with Hina? She keeps following me everywhere, and when I call out to her, she snorts and runs away."

"Ah…. I forgot. Hina and Riku. Make time for them in the next week once things settle. You should do Hina first. Riku is actually quite the patient girl." Lillia replied with a smile.

Blake rubbed his head. He had a feeling this would happen when he saw Lillia giving the three girls special attention. "Alright, once we are able to come up with a proper method for everyone to condense their mana and use it to grow more powerful, I will deal with it. If you speak to Hina, just tell her to wait a bit longer."

"Alright. You should go see Thardra. I am sure he is probably up by now." Lillia shooed Blake away, who was lost in thought.

Blake was wondering how he was supposed to do it with a girl who had more animal features than the others. She had wings and claws, while the thighs, torso, and head were all human. He knew how to do her, but he did not know how he was supposed to hold her. "So she will either need to ride or be on the bottom, I guess…."

Blake pondered this as he made his way to Thardra's shop. Luckily this time, the dwarf was not fighting with someone. When Blake walked in, he was met with Thardra's big grin. "Haha! Sorry about the other day. You came to know how that thing is, right?"

"Mmm… with the city getting so big, we need a better form of transportation," Blake replied.

"No worries. I did not fail. While this is a proof of concept, the whole thing is quite compact in many ways. Let's go to the training grounds."

A little while later, Blake and Thardra were sitting in a clearing in the training grounds designated for testing new inventions. Thardra took out a small metal card that was as thin as a credit card and smiled: "Here she is. I spent a lot of effort in creating this and a lot of research. This thing is going to be the best mode of transportation in the city." Thardra said as he tossed the card into the air….
