BLAIR Chapter 253: Love At First Sight
After their brief visit at Kop's Cafe to get a written extended leave for Bran, Matthew and Bran made their way to Cecilia's mansion which was an hour's worth of carriage ride. Matthew could've gotten there within a few minutes if he were alone but he was being considerate of Bran. Once they arrived at the carriage station, they continued on foot.Even from afar, it seemed like the guards were already waiting for them by the gates. It was probably because the pedestrians were spreading words as they went about their business."Welcome back, your majesty." The knights bowed with respect."Thanks. Is Cecilia in?" Matthew asked."Yes, and so is Lady Nakamura. Shall we escort you to them?""No need. I know my way around the place.""Yes sir! Oh, and who is this guest you brought?""This is a friend of mine. Bran. Can I bring him in with me?"The knights momentarily glanced at each other before answering. "Normally, we will have to confirm with Lady Cecilia first, but since it is you who b
BLAIR Chapter 254: The Complete Dragoknight
After getting help from Cecilia and leaving Bran with them to assist their investigation, Matthew immediately headed for the Alpen Peak.It has been almost four weeks since he left here. Originally, Matthew only planned to be away for one week at most, but was distracted.Just as Matthew reached the cliff where Platinum’s home was, he was immediately greeted by his chimaera underlings, Potolo, Bartolo, and Mala, along with Chloe, a jade green dragon.“Master! You have finally returned!” Potolo excitedly said to Matthew as he excitedly ran over to his master.“Oh, hey you guys. I’m back.” Matthew replied.“Welcome back, master. It gladdens me that you are fine. Not that I thought you were not.” Bartolo greeted.“Where have you been, master? You’ve been away for a while. Potolo was worried sick.” Mala said.“Yeah, sorry about that. I was distracted by many things, but I’m here now.” Matthew reassured them. “Where’s Plat? Did Guinevere come by when I was away?”“Yes, she came about a wee
BLAIR Chapter 255: Mutual Love
A day had passed since Matthew left the mansion. It was morning and the birds were chirping cheerfully. The temperature was getting warmer as the sun rose again. One would take this as a sign of a wonderful day.However, Bran was sitting seemingly lifelessly on the edge of his bed. He could not sleep well because he was thinking of what happened yesterday.“Damn it, Matthew. Why did you leave me here?” Bran cursed Matthew softly, he was worried that someone might hear him.(This guy right here has a crush on you. Good luck!)Bran scratched his head in frustration and exhaustion. “I was betrayed.”Knock! Knock! Knock!Three knocks came from the door. Without Bran even answering, it slowly opened. Two maids entered the room. Bran’s body became stiff as one approached him while the other passed by his bed and went to open the curtains and windows.“Rise and shine, Mister Irons. Would you care to join Lady Cecilia for breakfast? Or would you rather have it in bed?” The maid in front of hi
BLAIR Chapter 256: Progress?
About one week had passed since Matthew went to the Alpen Peak. Now he had returned to Cecilia’s mansion with a certain intention.It was evening by the time Matthew arrived on foot. As usual, he was greeted friendly and respectfully by the guards and servants. However, when he stepped inside the mansion, a maid told him something intriguing when he asked where his friends were.“Lady Cecilia and Mister Bran are in the garden. They seem very intimate with each other now.” The maid said.With that in mind, Matthew took a more stealthy approach as he headed to the garden which was in the back. He watched from behind a bush as the two were playing with something that seemed like a helicopter. It was probably a bamboo dragonfly. Matthew remembered playing that when he was little, it brought nostalgia to him.What’s more, while watching them play, it hurt his poor single soul. Well, it was him that forcefully pushed Bran in that place.“Hey.” A soft whisper blew into his left ear along wit
BLAIR Chapter 257: Picking A Quest
Matthew, Yuki, Cecilia, and Bran had decided to go on a quest together. So on the next day, after getting their equipment, they headed for the local Hunter station to find a suitable quest. They got there quite early so there was almost no one present at the station except for the two receptionists and several Hunters hanging around. They were greeted warmly by the receptionists who were actually sisters that Yuki knew well.“Welcome Miss Nakamura! Wow! I see that you’ve brought a lot more people this time.” The older sister, named Olga with short blonde hair and a tall figure, said.“Yup! An old friend and a new one.” Yuki said.“Waah~ it’s rare to see you with Lady Cecilia, let alone more than that. The guy in the back actually looks familiar though?” The younger one, named Bilga with longer blonde hair, short figure but big assets, said while examining Matthew who was in the back of the team.“Of course he looks familiar. He is the newly crowned Dragon Emperor.” Yuki said with a pr
BLAIR Chapter 258: Weapons Testing
Drakes. A type of dragon that is smaller in size and cannot fly. Drakes are considered a lower class dragon due to their traits, including their lesser strength as well. Even so, they are still dragons and are incredibly powerful compared to the common species. Even the lowest of them are at least B class monsters. Earth drakes, in particular, have much a tankier build with larger body mass.“This species of earth drake can manipulate the earth around them. They burrow underground in the night and become active in the day. Their skin is incredibly tough and they are as big as a small house.” A researcher by the name, Paul, that happened to be in the area explained to Matthew and his group. Apparently, and thankfully though, Paul and the farmers did not recognise Matthew.“A small house, you say? That’s quite big.” Matthew commented. “How long have they been here? And how often do they attack the farm?”“I’m not sure myself, according to the farmers, it's been almost three months. Sinc
BLAIR Chapter 259: Getting New Weapons
The next day, the Hunters returned to the Hunter station to turn in their quest. It was very early in the morning when they got on a carriage. Perhaps still tired from yesterday's hunt, Bran and Cecilia were sound asleep next to each other, leaning each sides' door. Yuki and Matthew were sitting across from them, they did not fall asleep."You just wanna push them into each other, right?" Yuki spoke to Matthew in a soft voice to not wake the other two up."Yeah. They make me feel like saying, 'just get married already!', you know?" Matthew replied in the same manner."Haha. Great minds think alike." Yuki had a chuckle.The carriage rattled as the horses ran at a steady pace. Occasionally, the carriage would rock a bit when it hit a bump, not that it affected the people sleeping.“By the way, Matthew.” Yuki spoke again.“Hm?”“I’ve been wondering if you’re preparing for something. Something big.”“What do you mean?”“Well, you’ve been training nonstop. Going from quest to quest. Seeing
BLAIR Chapter 260: Family Matters
I was a dwarf that loved smithing and creating new equipment of high quality. I never found much joy in anything other than metal work. I dedicated myself to crafting. I loaned a bit of money from the bank to start up my shop with a colleague. Her name was Aoi. She would take care of the store in the front while I crafted in the back. A few years passed, our business grew and we hired more people to work. It all went well thanks to my crafts and her excellent business skills.Then, 24 years ago, 5 years after we opened our shop, I finally proposed to her. I was a dwarf and she was a human. Normally that would be very weird and I was ready to be shot down. However, to my surprise, she accepted my proposal. She said that she had been waiting. I never thought that she would.We went on honeymoons when we closed our shop and enjoyed life as a married couple. I will always remember how happy she looked when we went out together. We would sometimes get into fights, but they never lasted lon

BLAIR Chapter 318: The Family pt.2
At the edge of the pit, it was them. A total of nine of the Scarlett family members.From the right, a woman with long red hair and black and white dress was casting a healing spell on Bilgrae. A male elf in full black armour with a star shaped bang of three red points and two white points and his black hair was split in the middle. A demon with dark violet hair and a pair of horns at the side of her head and wore a jet black skin tight suit which exposed certain parts, Crymillia. In the middle, it was a man with short bright red hair wearing a black and gold robe. Then, a man with black hair in a red and black suit. Another demon with about the same features as Crymillia except that his hair was short and he wore a black cloak over his suit. Then there was a man with spiky red hair in a red robe with a high collar, Crone, the one that Matthew and his friends fought at the Great Sandcastle. Finally, there was the black feathered avian human, Skystorm.Seeing Skystorm in good health, M
BLAIR Chapter 317: The Family pt.1
Confronting Bilgrae now was what he expected to see from a Dragon Emperor.Matthew was now at maximum output of his astra and all of it was condensed in his body. Bright red scales covered his entire body and he grew slightly in size. His muscles became more toned and also increased in size. A pair of horns of a darker tone of red grew out of his forehead that curved to the back of his head. Both of his eyes were glowing golden as his hair was.“Let’s finish this!” Matthew did not delay any further. He couldn’t maintain this form for long so he must finish the fight quickly.Matthew dashed toward Bilgrae who was ready for Matthew. Their fists clashed again and this time, not only was Bilgrae pushed back, he felt pain in his knuckles. Matthew was much stronger than before and far faster too. Utilising his speed, Matthew went for another punch to Bilgrae’s gut.“Oof!” Bilgrae got the air knocked out of him with the first hit.Matthew followed up with a barrage of punches. Bilgrae truly
BLAIR Chapter 316: Test of Strength
After being blown away by Skystorm’s wind, Matthew regained his footing and was met with the big lizardman, Bilgrae Scarlett. Bilgrae had a smirk on his face. Matthew stood up and faced Bilgrae, but his eyes were not on him. Matthew’s eyes fell on Falynx in the far distance.“Are you still concerned about that monster?” Bilgrae asked with his deep voice.Matthew looked at Bilgrae now. “It’s hard to know which one is the monster here.”“Heh, you’re right. All of us are monsters deep inside. It just takes one misstep to turn a person into one. You’ve been there too.”“No I haven’t.”“Maybe not to you. But the whole world saw you as one. Now that monster suddenly turned into an emperor and they suddenly glorified you, while some still hate you of course.”“Hmph.” Matthew huffed.“You’re angry with me, I understand. I purposely did not kill that beast. Out of compassion.”“Don’t lie. You Scarletts don’t know what that means.”Bilgrae wasn’t smiling anymore. “You don’t know how merciful fa
BLAIR Chapter 315: Vampiric Origin
Akame and Skystorm were separated from Matthew and Bilgrae. Akame stood up after being blown away by the powerful gust of wind created by Skystorm. Their eyes met. Both of their irises were bright red and gazed deeply.“I will be your foe, Red Cardinal.” Skystorm said.“What relic will you take? What will you use it for?” Akame asked.“Straight to the questions huh… That’s not any of your business. Why would you care what we take anyway if you’ll die?”“To evaluate whether it’s worth fighting for or not.”“Hmm, a smart choice. If you don't want to fight, then I shant confront you. Sadly, it seems that Lord Dragunov disagrees with you. If he is in the way, then we must remove him. I don’t think that leaves you an option now.”Backing out from this would mean that Matthew will be fighting two people. If they weren’t among the Scarlett Army’s strongest, it probably wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with alone. Both of their foes were really strong and Akame had no expectation of defeating
BLAIR Chapter 314: The Sun God's Temple
After their encounter with Falynx, they reached an agreement to conduct an investigation as they intended. Falynx had flown back to the surface on its own. Matthew and Akame headed to the temple and arrived at the front door.For some reason, even though they were underground, it was as clear as day down here. It was not dark and not too bright either, like a cloudy day.There were stairs that led to the door and the walls in the area were already partially destroyed. Some of the stairs were also gone. The giant door was made of stone and seemed to be intact with little cracks around the hinges.Matthew pushed one of the doors open. It was surprisingly heavy so Matthew had to lean into it to move it. Akame went inside first and inspected the place. There was a stage and a podium carved out of stone at the end of the great hall. A mural was carved out of the wall behind the stage depicting a supposed god holding the sun in his hands.Matthew left the door open and joined Akame to look
BLAIR Chapter 313: The Giant Winged Snake
In the middle of the desert, there were two figures running across the sands. Clouds of sand were left behind in their quick steps. The cloak provided by the minister was really working. No sand was sticking onto them.“We’re getting close.” Matthew informed Akame.Almost two hours have passed since they left the city. Many monsters came their way but they were easily dealt with. It caused a little delay but not enough to affect their momentum. Falynx’s presence was still about 10 kilometres away.“Be ready for battle.” Akame said.“Remember though, don’t kill it.” Matthew reminded her.A few minutes later, a gigantic figure could be seen flying in the sky. The creature had the body of a snake, the head of a crocodile and six pairs of batwings. Its yellow eyes with black vertical slits looked down at the incoming people below.Falynx bowed its head and began descending. Matthew and Akame saw this as an engagement in battle. Matthew called out the Dragoknight to his arms and increased
BLAIR Chapter 312: Mission Briefing
The sun was already high up in the sky in the Capital City of Kubalt. The weather was hot and dry as usual in San Coro. The street around this particular area was not that busy since it was right in front of the Palace of Al-Jauhara. One would occasionally see knights patrolling the area. Akame was waiting under the intense heat of the sun. She had covered herself in a large black cloth to protect herself from the heat. The guards out here only wore light armour compared to the ones inside, probably because their armour would be too hot to wear outside. Not too long after, she finally saw the one she was waiting for. Matthew was jogging toward her. He wore his long sleeved red hooded jacket and an orange shirt under it and a pair of black pants. He also had his usual travelling backpack with him. “Phew, sorry, did you wait long?” “Not too long. Did you not use a teleportation scroll?” Akame asked. “I did, but the closest one was to Yanbue City. Neither Platinum nor Rose were famil
BLAIR Chapter 311: No Rest
“What brings you here, Akame?” Matthew asked.Just a few moments ago, Akame had arrived in front of Platinum’s cave. Someone like who was a Coloured Hunter, passing through the Blackwood Forest and up the cold mountain was not a problem. Or not.Akame was hugging herself to keep warm but it was not helping at all. “Achoo! C-can we talk somewhere warmer?”“Oh, come on in.” Matthew invited her inside.Akame went in and they both made their way to the living room. Matthew didn't think that it was alright to bring her to the others directly. The living room had a fire to keep them warm, so here was enough.“Ah~” Akame warmed herself up by the fire and put her hands out.“So, what are you doing here without equipment to survive on a mountain? Certainly you didn’t come to interview us?” Matthew asked.“Queen Cleopatra sent me. We will investigate the ruin she mentioned together.” Akame said with the same emotionless voice as usual.“Cleopatra? Well, I was gonna head there in a few days anyw
BLAIR Chapter 310: Future Family
Matthew and Rose arrived at the foot of the mountain just by the Blackwood Forest where they dropped off of the carriage while Guinevere headed back to her palace. It was already very late in the afternoon when they got to the forest. Matthew carried Rose's luggage in hands while he also wore his backpack."I can carry my own stuff." Rose said."No, I will carry them for you. Anyway, are you sure you'll be fine?""My magic resistance is quite high. I also know how to disperse mana if it does accumulate inside me. How long exactly is it going to take to get up there again?" Rose looked up at the ledge near the mountain peak where Platinum's abode was."Well, usually only a few hours if you're moving at my usual speed. If we're walking though, a few days at least." Matthew said."But we're not walking, right?" Rose asked."Nope." As Matthew replied, a shadow flew past over them.A jade green dragon circled them as she descended to the ground nearby. Upon landing, the dragon folded its w
