After I defeated the dragon I started spreading the news of my power. I will obtain both the fame and the resources. The dragon’s body is a great source of rare resources which will be used to strengthen my position. A poor goddess has less power than the rich one, from political point I’ll also have better control by having money.

The dismemberment of the dragon was going very, very, PAINFULLY slowly. I ordered to skin it carefully to get the most of its skin. Even after the bombing it was well-preserved so I decided to give it additional testing. If it is better than my 2 inches of deck armor then I will be so glad to replace the paper-armor with dragon skin.

I also have some plans for the dragon’s claws and teeth. If they are good, I might try replacing the naginata’s blade with dragon teeth.

The bones also might be used, because I have no access to steel beams I will try reinforcing the constructions in the palace with a bone.

Aside from planning the future use of the dragon's materials, I was searching around the area to find all monsters which dared attacking. While normally I would not even spare a glance at them, now I have many examples of the monsters, demons and beasts attacking in a somewhat organized manner. There were attacks on the villages nearby, there were numerous attempts to attack the town we are staying, there were attempts to approach the dragon’s body.

After the increase in monsters’ activity I had to start reacting and organized constant bomber and fighter patrols to destroy any large group of monsters in the vicinity. The problem was that I had no way to protect the locals in case the attack will be too small for me to spot it. That is when I remembered my good friends, the adventurers. I sent out many requests for the adventurers guild and, considering how active the area is, there were some adventurers which took my quests.

Most of the adventurers just headed out to hunt the monsters, occasionally they return to get the information where the next group of monsters is, or to sell the materials they gathered. The free hunt I organized, the decreased chances of running into a too strong group of monsters, the possibility of selling whatever they have to me or to the guild, those are the reasons why I don’t spend any money, aside from buying the materials, and keep the adventurers running around. The only group of adventurers that is not going outside of the town is our small and warm company.

“When will we be done here?” Elina was sitting in an armchair in the town’s mayor’s office.

“I don’t know, we might stay here for another month.” I sighed and answered from her lap.

We were sitting in silence and rarely exchanged phrases. I was too busy controlling the air traffic around the town. I’ve already launched all the designated flights and for the next hours I can take a rest from staying outside and doing launch-landing operations.

Elina was too busy as well, she was playing around with my tails. I was tired of it but still played with her. I was wiggling the tails back and forth, tickling her face, evading her hands which also tried to fluff the tails. My advantage is that I have four tails, while Elina has two hands. She can’t catch all of the tails simultaneously.

“You can try escaping my hands with your tails but there are two things which can’t do the same~.” She tickled my ears and they reflexively moved. While it is a bliss that she cuddles with me, I am still having an actually important task.

“Can you stop distracting me~?” While I was trying to say that with a condemn, in reality I almost purred the phrase.

“Did you just~… Let’s con-ti-nue~.” Unlike me, Elina was too happy with my reaction.

“It is not fine, I am trying to control the damned air patrols!” I try to hold back my pleasure but I can’t fight this body’s instincts so I almost purred again.

The great fight for my ears was only beginning but when I heard someone running in, Elina stopped. She already can guess when I feel or hear something by my ears’ and tails’ movements.

The door loudly opened and Kasumi ran inside out of breath.

“K-ka-kakka… haaa… there are… haaa… some people downstairs…”

“Who are those people?”

“No… idea… there is a guy… and two female… warriors…” Kasumi fell on her knees and continued catching her breath.

“I will check what is going on, wait for me here.” I got out of Elina’s caring hands and headed to the door.

“Good girl, take some rest.” I patted Kasumi’s head and walked out of the room.
