[The blurb has been revised, but the story itself is unchanged.]
The ice dragon Sylph was raised by the founder of the Witch Academy.
The witches stood together, strong and resolute. They survived their hardest years, watched the academy flourish, and rose from the ashes.
With a group of wealthy, fiercely protective mothers, Sylph naturally settled into the life of a freeloader.
The greedy little dragon's daily routine consisted of eating and sleeping. When the mood struck, she'd head to the frozen seas to forage and bother the merfolk, or snatch the fruits the fairies had carefully tended and gobble them down one after another.
Sometimes the witches would ask her to run errands, deliver letters, or pick someone up.
The princess Sylph was sent to collect this time was unusual. "She" didn't glare at her father the king and flip him off, nor did she tear the temple statues out by their roots.
In short, she was unlike any of the girls Sylph had met in her brief century of dragonhood.
The little witches did whatever they pleased, while the princess was disciplined and courteous. She even quietly refused when the dragon kindly offered to let her ride on her head.
The little witches were full of ambition, while the princess studied cooking. Every day, she was either reading cookbooks or adventure tales.
Most importantly, as a vegetarian vampire, the princess couldn't live in the academy's castle.
She cooked well, had a gentle temperament, never turned anyone down, and seemed inclined to do whatever the dragon said...
The greedy dragon Sylph's eyes lit up. What a perfect chance to hire herself a personal cook for free while taking advantage of the situation!
And so Sylph acquired a cook, a travel drudge, and an attendant, who had no flaws besides being too worry-prone, overthinking everything, and soft-hearted enough to burst into tears.
Until the princess became entangled in a vampire prince's conspiracy.
The princess lay in a coffin, her voice-changing necklace and disguise earrings removed, her slender black robes clinging to her body.
The sharp-eyed dragon immediately noticed her chest and abs, then looked higher and spotted an Adam's apple.
Sylph: ...?
The princess slowly awoke. The moment she saw Sylph, her eyes reddened, and her whole body trembled with timid self-loathing.
She looked just like a stray dog afraid of being abandoned again.
Reading guide:
1. Important, so I'll say it three times: the male lead cries. The male lead is the one who cries. He's a poor little thing.
2. This is part of a series. There will be two more stories: one about building up a witch academy (no pairing), and one about running a witch magic shop (fluffy romance).
3. At heart, this is a comforting food story and a bedtime read. The main plot is loose, and most of it is everyday life. The romance focuses on family and friendship. The male and female leads spend most of their time together like little ones cuddling. The female lead, completely oblivious: a bottomless pit at mealtimes. The male lead, gazing at her as she's saved him: So cute! I'm so happy!
4. Inspired by Dungeon Meshi's "Eating is a privilege of the living," and by thoughts that came to me while chatting with my wife. I wanted to write a warm story about love.
5. Hello! My wife drew the profile picture for my author page. Go take a look right now. (smugly patting her head and grinning.jpg)
Theme: Life can't beat people who eat heartily.
The witty and illiterate dragon vows to keep the all-powerful cook, the golden face, the master of coaxing dragons, the housekeeping expert, the cross-species diplomat, the poor and white fake princess, the gourmet with mutated taste, the cobbler and silversmith Oni-chan, and the high-quality vampire boy. One room cannot accommodate these many people.
The dry bread should be spread with butter and chopped parsley, then thrown into the microwave along with the bacon (does such a thing exist in another world?) And it will be delicious.
The heroine is simply an annoying but cute cat ΦωΦ Will there be a dragon battle? Will it happen?
Sooner or later, the uneducated Longlong was coaxed into an embryo by the princess and became a vampire in the early childhood education.

If the prey does not look back, will the walking mushroom follow it all the time? Wouldn't it be possible to force the walking mushroom to circle around and make the mushroom taste tighter through sufficient exercise...
Reminds me of an ornamental fish named "Cheese"
