「Luvis-chan」
「Ah. Alec-senpai. Hello」
I found Luvis-chan walking alone, which was unusual, so I called her out. The two are rarely apart.
「Where’s your big sister?」
「Onee-chan’s studying in her room. She’s studying now since she’ll be the lord ruling over Safir」
「Oh, the blue gem territory」
They showed a Safir gem in our last lesson, but I wonder if that blue jewel is the same as the one on Earth.
The only blue gemstone I know is named Sapphire. Oh, there’s also Aquamarine and Lapis Lazuli. But the Safir stone was deep blue and transparent, like Sapphire.
「The Jewel Dragon Safir is in that place, right? What kind of a dragon is it?」
「Safir? I only heard from Grandfather. That dragon—」
■■■
One day, when the warm days were finally increasing in the spring, the father of the twins, the lord of Safir, entered the Jewel Dragon’s burrow.
It’s a beautiful blue cave made entirely of gemstones. He steps into the burrow of the powerful Shinryu without fear and heads deeper. Then, he entered the innermost room and knelt before the lying jewel dragon.
「Safir-sama. I’ve come for our New Year greeting
–You? Is it spring already?
The Jewel dragon conveys their thoughts through magic.
Older dragons aren’t just stronger, but they also learn how to apply this kind of magic.
「Yes. Thanks to Safir-sama, we were able to pass through winter without incident. Thank you」
–I didn’t do anything.
「The very presence of Safir-sama gives this territory peace and prosperity」
Safir has lived for a long time, and so the other Shinryu fears his magic in this area and hasn’t intruded, then his magic created specialty products such as producing and processing gems. There was no falsehood in what the Lord said and this place was the key that brings safety and wealth to the land.
–I don’t see the small ones.
「My daughters are attending school starting this year. It’ll be a few years until they come back」
–I see…
A slightly disappointed thought came from the Jewel dragon.
The Jewel dragon likes the Kiryu descending from its magic, but the recently born young girls were its favorite.
The Jewel dragon had been looking forward to meeting the young girls several times a year ever since their introduction to becoming the next lord.
–They should work on their studies.
「Thank you. I’ll be sure to pass your words to my Daughter, Safir-sama」
–I’m moving my nest.
「What? Your nest?」
–I won’t use this place anymore. Take it
「Certainly! Thank you! Safir-sama!」
Safir got up and flapped its wings, then flew through the high ceiling of the cave.
「!!!」
The Kiryu and others waiting at the entrance of the blue cave, the same descendants of Safir’s Magic, knelt in a hurry and flew into the sky.
The Jewel dragon will descend on a mountain in their territory and a new blue cave will be created and turned into its new nest.
「You all! Safir-sama has moved nests! Gather people! We have a big job on us!」
「Oooh! I never thought I’d witness the nest change!」
「Thank you very much! Safir-sama!」
Usually, they get Safir’s permission, to dismantle one or two rooms no longer in use, with the size of a Shinryu, which is over ten meters long, they use the materials for jewelry, but once every few decades, when Safir moves nests. They can dismantle the old nest and use all of it as material.
The amount is enormous, but the market doesn’t overflow with materials that the prices drop. The demand for huge single pieces of gemstones is high, some people seek them in reasonable size for desktop tops, carving materials, and interior decoration, meanwhile, larger gemstone boards are in demand for building materials, like floors, walls, ceilings, and so on.
The stone used in the blue castle of the Safir house was dismantled from the Jewel Dragon’s nest.
「Be careful when you cut it! If you make a chip or crack you won’t get away with it!」
「You don’t have to tell us that! Bring your servants as soon as possible! We first need to measure and map the interior!」
The land of Safir is lively and big work just came to them.
The jewel dragon flying in the sky didn’t care about that, it was looking forward to seeing the daughter of the blue magic who was similar to itself.

「–And that’s it. Big Sis is its favorite」
「I see. So that’s how Shinryu is? I pictured them to be a bit more vicious and dangerous」
「Father said that the young Shinru are dangerous. But, the Jewel dragon is very old and is kind to the Kiryu with the same gem attribute」
「I see. So it’s kind to its own offspring」
I thought that the Shinryu were as dangerous as a wild bear or tiger, but the longer they live the more mellow they become.
Also, it seems like her sister has met the Jewel dragon based on what she told me but Luvis-chan never met it yet.
Yeah, Luvis-chan is red. A very cute red.
「Ah. If you have some time, why don’t you come to our room? Lina-chan and the girls will be there too」
「Okay!」
I’ve successfully fished Luvis-chan.
Good girl, I’ll show you plenty of love today.
Sorry, big sis. I’ll take Luvis-chan for myself.
