Asahi returned home after Shizuka called him regarding Great Red’s arrival. The two dragon gods were idling around in his castle without his knowledge. He could only sigh at Shizuka’s consideration to not disturb him through the training.
He opened the door to Shizuka’s room and froze. Ophis was sitting in the corner of the room, busy in an extreme gaming session with headphones over her head. Great Red room made the room look small despite sitting comfortably on a couch, chatting with Shizuka and Grayfia.
The two dragon gods stayed in one room without antagonizing each other. A miracle considering their previous stance against each other.
“Aa-kun! Welcome back!”
“My Lord.”
“Mhmm.”
Shizuka took Grayfia’s hand and walked past Asahi. “We’ll see you later.”
“Sure.”
Asahi wouldn’t be surprised if Shizuka befriended Great Red in the small time they spent together. She was just too nice to everyone. Even Klyscha acknowledged that.
“Asahi!” The Dragon God of Dreams also greeted him cheerfully. “I missed you.”
Ophis raised her head and stared at him, indescribable emotions filling her obsidian eyes. She slowly took off the headphones that blocked her hearing. “Asahi…”
Asahi ignored Great Red’s greeting altogether and walked to Ophis’ side. “Looks like you found the answer.”
Ophis nodded. “Friends… come to the Dimensional Gap with me.”
With Asahi around she would never feel bored. So she wanted him around, all the time if required. An incredibly selfish but appropriate thought for a dragon god.
Asahi laughed off her proposal. “I appreciate the offer but I can’t. My family is here.”
“You can bring her.” Ophis pointed at Shizuka since she was very kind to her. “Shizuka.”
“How about I give you permission to come here anytime you want? It’s the same as me being there.”
Ophis thought for a moment then nodded her head. Happy with the agreement, she buried her face back in her game. “I’ll beat it.”
The game she played had no end. Asahi couldn’t bear to tell her the truth after he saw her diligence in completing it.
‘As long as she is having fun.’
Asahi turned around and smiled at Great Red. “Yo, Red.”
Great Red folded her arms. “I’m Ruby now.”
“You got yourself a name, huh. I’m proud of this development.”
He was solely responsible for pushing Great Red out of the Dimensional Gap, which led her out of her stagnant state. He took full credit for her getting a new name even if he wasn't the one to give her the said name.
“Shizuka gave it to me.”
“Nee-san did? I’m surprised she didn’t choose a Japanese name. Ruby is a little too… tame for you, isn’t it?”
It didn’t have the same intimidating power as Ddraig or Ouroboros. Heck, Albion had more dignified tone to it than Ruby. She wasn't a flower.

“I like it though. You don’t like it?”
“It doesn’t suit your menacing appearance.”
Ruby wouldn’t have minded the comment if it came from a random nobody. But it came from the man who easily beat her then trained her.
‘I’ll show him a body he will lust for!’
Asahi could feel the fire he lit in Ruby’s heart. Maybe he went too far in his joke this time. It was never his intention to hurt her. With a sigh, he plopped down beside her and rested his head on thighs. The uncomfortable feeling of the thick metal was soon repressed by his ‘Healing Thighs’ skill.
Ruby stared at him. “What are you doing?”
“Just resting after a tiring day.”
“There is a bed over there with a nice and squishy pillow. You don’t need to use my thighs for that...”
“It’s weird. I thought you’d make some aggressive jokes. Could it be that you are starting to like me after I beat your ass?”
It was a typical trope with dragons. He still remembered the masochist black dragon from a certain story who liked to get her ass penetrated by a pile bunker.
Ruby closed her eyes and raised her chin, practically looking away from him. “Don’t be ridiculous. There is nothing like that.”
Even if there was, she would never admit it until she defeated him. It was natural for dragons to be attracted to strong and attract strong people around them.
Asahi shook his head and closed his eyes like he was going to sleep. Ruby cautiously opened her left eye and snuck a peek at Asahi. As the lord of dreams, she could feel his soul’s connection to a dream, yet she couldn’t find any entrance to his dream.
‘He is better than me at manipulating the Dream Energy.’
What amazed her even more was his carefree actions. How could he fall asleep so fast on her lap? As far as she was concerned, there was no definition to their relationship. They were neither friends nor enemies. They fought each other. Shouldn’t he be a bit cautious around her?
'Why am I using common sense with this jerk?'
Ruby threw all the unnecessary thoughts out of her head. After all, he was the same man who went out of his way to train her when he was supposed to defeat her.
Several minutes later, the door quietly opened, and a pair of red eyes peeked inside the room. “Asahi-sama is resting. Grayfia will have to handle the stupid grim reaper.”
The door closed just as quietly.
“Grim reaper?” Ruby expanded her senses and felt a concentration of dark energy in the outer wing of the castle. “He should be the grim reaper that red-eyed girl mentioned.”
The Grim Reaper purposely unleashed his aura as though he was trying to intimidate someone.
‘How dare a puny demigod show off in Asahi’s territory.’
Ruby unleashed her aura, immediately overshadowing the Grim Reaper's aura. His aura flickered like a candle in the wind before completely extinguishing.
Ruby retracted her aura and chuckled. “That should be enough.”
