Watching Dragons Wag Their Tails Again Today

[GL] The awkward romance of two emotional rookies bound by a marriage contract!

The Demon Realm's power changed hands, and a new, peace-minded Demon King took the throne. With everything in disarray and affairs piling up, he temporarily forgot to abolish the old treaty requiring humans to send sacrifices.

So Tiri, a viscount's daughter, was packed off to the Demon Realm.

Faced with a beautiful, delicate girl whose face practically said, "I'm so done," the new Demon King gave an awkward smile and waved over the Dragon Princess, his childhood friend and a general in the Demon King's army.

"For the sake of peace between humans and demons, you two should marry!"

The dragon coldly refused. "W-what kind of joke is that!" (Her tail wagged happily.)

Tiri: ...?

Why does she look like a puppy?

Life at the Demon King's castle began.

As the castle's first human guest, Tiri's doorway practically became a tourist attraction for monsters.

Slimes, bandage men, ghosts, skeletons, one-eyed demon orbs, and countless others pretended to be busy as they passed by day after day.

Well, it can't get any worse.

Tiri accepted her fate.

Feeding slimes, inventing bizarre dishes, trying avant-garde gardening, painting monsters' bodies... Whatever. She'd have fun for as long as she could!

So when the dragon returned from a business trip, tail wagging as she hurried to find her fiancee, she walked into a hellscape: an entire restaurant full of monsters laid low by a pot of soup that belonged in the underworld.

The human girl stood innocently in the middle of it all, looking like a soft, harmless little black sheep.

The demon head maid, who had watched the whole thing, patted the dragon on the shoulder. "Keep an eye on your bride... And take care of yourself from now on."

Dragon: ...?

Three rumors from the Demon King's castle:

-- "The unsmiling Dragon General is incredibly cold toward the person she was ordered to marry! Their relationship seems to be on the rocks!"

-- "You know what I saw last night? The Dragon General snuck into the flower garden in the middle of the night and picked a handful of flowers... They're exactly like the ones she gave her bride today~"

-- "Lately, I've kept seeing a little silver-white dragon I don't recognize following Lady Bride around. You pat its head and its tail starts wagging! Who is that guy?!"

Tiri: ...Oh no, I really did start treating her like a puppy.

Dragon: ...Woof!
