《The indifference Hero》 THE LAZY SOLUTION On the rooftops of the city, a boy lounged in a deck chair, a half-eaten pastry sitting abandoned beside him. Kaito had mastered the art of relaxation, but today, it was interrupted by something far more urgent. Sora stood on the edge of the rooftop and shouted, feeling frustrated. "Hey, Kaito! The dragon is flying around the city! As our leader, aren''t you going to do something?" Below, there was confusion as people ran through the streets, their scared voices filling the air. "Run! The dragon is attacking!" shouted one terrified citizen. "Someone help us!" cried another, desperately seeking safety. But Kaito remained unfazed, his eyes drifting shut. He had dozed off again. In a moment of frustration , Sora struck his head dramatically with a large hammer. Yet, Kaito, still half-asleep, caught it effortlessly. "Aish, not again! Why do you want to hit me? I''m just trying to enjoy a nap," he protested, cracking one eye open. "Did you not see the dragon soaring over there?" Sora exclaimed, her frustration boiling over. Kaito yawned widely, stretching his arms as if he had all the time in the world. "A dragon? Sounds like someone else''s problem. My head is itching; can''t a guy sleep in peace?" He adjusted his glasses and leaned back, intent on returning to his slumber. Suddenly, someone landed beside him with a thud. It was the guild chief, his presence imposing yet familiar. "Looks like you''re having a nice sleep here!" the guild chief remarked, raising an eyebrow as he stared out over the city. Sora bowed her head respectfully, her expression shifting from annoyance to seriousness. "Sir, the situation is critical!" Kaito rubbed his forehead, still confused. "Really, can''t we just give it a snack or something? I''d rather talk it out than fight. Maybe it just needs some rest too." Sora sighed and covered her face with her hand, while the guild chief laughed softly and shook his head at Kaito''s strange idea. "Kaito," he said after suppressing his laughter, "how about this? If you take care of that dragon, I''ll personally reward you with a hefty sum of gold." Kaito''s ears perked up at the mention of gold, his eyes widening with newfound interest. "Gold, you say? Now you''re speaking my language! How much are we talking?" The guild chief leaned forward, a smirk playing on his lips. "Let''s say¡­ a hundred gold coins, but only if you handle the dragon yourself." Kaito''s lazy shamefully shifted to excitement, a hint of determination sparking alive in his eyes. "A hundred coins? Alright, now I feel inspired! But just to be clear, what if it turns out to be a friendly dragon just looking for a chat? Am I still getting paid?" Sora crossed her arms, a mix of amusement and disbelief on her face. "You''re actually considering this?" Kaito tossed up his hands in mock surrender. "Fine, fine! I''ll deal with the dragon." He stood up, stretching lazily as he called out to the creature soaring above. "Hey there, big guy! Not sure what''s on your agenda, but I''m really just trying to enjoy a nap here!"Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. The dragon narrowed its eyes, unimpressed by his nonchalance. "Look, I get it. You probably want something, right? Treasure, perhaps? If it''s gold, I wouldn''t mind sharing some of the guild''s stash¡­" Kaito offered, his tone casual as if bargaining over lunch. Suddenly, the dragon let out a low growl, shifting its massive body slightly as if preparing to lunge. "Whoa there! No need to be rude!" Kaito exclaimed, rolling his eyes in dramatic annoyance. The dragon looked angry, and Kaito sighed, watching it with a mix of boredom and annoyance. "Really? Do I have to deal with this now? I was just getting comfortable..." He stretched again and yawned loudly, making a sound that echoed off the rooftop. The dragon tilted its head, looking confused. Kaito, feeling the tension, acted relaxed. "You know what? I have a move that''s really easy. Just stand there, okay?" With a shrug, he raised one hand, energy dancing around his fingers. When he flicked his wrist, a small spark came out slowly, as if it had all the time in the world. "Okay, here I go¡­" he said, a playful look in his eyes. Everyone was surprised when the spark hit the dragon''s chest. The dragon let out a loud roar and then fell to the ground as if it was too tired to keep going. Kaito watched the dragon fall down without looking worried at all. "And that''s why you don''t interrupt someone''s nap. Seriously, they should''ve trained harder¡­" Kaito remarked, settling back on his chair as if nothing had happened. Sora, speechless, blinked in disbelief. The guild chief chuckled, "Incredible. I expected a battle, not a¡­ nap time intervention." Kaito, stretching out comfortably, replied, "Honestly, I thought it''d be a bit more dramatic. But hey, what do they expect? You don''t want me at my peak fighting stage; I might get cranky." Sora finally allowed a laugh to escape her lips, shaking her head. "One of these days, you''ll have to stop guessing and actually put in some effort. What if it hadn''t gone this way?" Kaito waved dismissively. "It''s all about timing, Sora. Besides, my effortless style seems to work just fine." Just then, the dragon moved and tried to lift its head but failed badly, making a sad sound. Kaito looked over and raised an eyebrow, surprised "Oh come on! Really? I was hoping for a peaceful nap, not a pity party," he said, his voice a mix of amusement and irritation. "What do you plan to do with it now, Kaito?" the guild chief asked, looking curious. With an exaggerated sigh, Kaito thought for a moment. "Maybe¡­ I can offer it a snack? I''m not really in the mood for dragon steak today." Sora burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all. The dragon seemed to understand. It sniffed the dried meat that Kaito offered and gently nudged his hand, accepting the food. A calm feeling spread over the rooftop as the once scary creature happily started eating. Sora looked to the guild chief, incredulous. "Can you believe this? Kaito negotiated his way out of a dragon attack with snacks." The guild chief, still chuckling, replied, "Perhaps we should all consider offering snacks more often. Who knows what issues we could solve peacefully?" Kaito smiled brightly as he sat back down in his chair, feeling happy. "See? When you''re confused, just give a snack. Can I please go back to my nap now?" As the sun went down, shining a warm light over the rooftops, Kaito got comfortable in his chair. The dragon was sleeping peacefully nearby, and the city below was full of light and activity Kaito, half-closed eyes glinting with mischief, let out a satisfied sigh. "Who would''ve thought solving problems could be this easy? Just a few snacks and a little charm¡­" Sora glanced at the scene, a smile creeping across her face. "Who would''ve thought you could be a dragon whisperer, Kaito? You might just be the laziest hero in history." Kaito moved slightly, barely opening one eye. "Lazy? I call it efficient. Now, shush and let me enjoy the quiet." The guild chief laughed quietly, gazing out at the now calm city, marveling at the unusual resolution to a potential disaster. "This might be the most unconventional victory I''ve ever witnessed. Perhaps we should keep an eye on this dragon; it might become a friend instead of a foe." Kaito nodded lazily, already drifting off, a soft smile on his face. As night fell, stars sparkled in the sky. Sora looked at the dragon, then at Kaito, and finally at the city below, which was full of untold stories. The hope of new adventures felt light in the air. "Maybe Kaito''s way isn''t so bad after all," Sora mused aloud. "Who would''ve thought that laziness could save the day?" In a wide view of the scene, you could see the calm rooftop, Kaito sleeping, the dragon happily eating, and the city lights sparkling like stars below. The first chapter ended, leaving lots of room for new adventures and the beginning of unexpected friendships. **Chapter 1: End** A New Alliance In the morning, Kaito woke from a much-needed nap. He stretched and looked around, feeling relaxed. His new friend, the dragon, was still there, happily sleeping and making soft noises, her belly full from the dried meat he had given her the night before. "Guess I really did make a friend," Kaito mumbled, rubbing his eyes and adjusting his glasses. Suddenly, to his surprise, the dragon transformed into a woman right in front of him. She was beautiful and had a playful smile. Leaning back on one elbow, her eyes sparkled in the sunlight. Good morning, Kaito," she said playfully, her voice kind and charming. "You didn''t think you would see me like this, did you?" Kaito was surprised and confused. "I didn''t know you could do that," he said nervously, feeling a little embarrassed. "You were just a dragon." She laughed, and her laughter filled the room like music. "Oh, I can do much more than just fly, my friend. I have many surprises." She stretched her arms, and the sunlight sparkled on her skin. She leaned forward, her playful grin growing. "You fed me well last night; I''m not in the mood for anything more than fun." Kaito "Yeah, that sounds fine. "Why not start with a little adventure right here at home?" She winked, showing her playful side. "Show me what it''s like to be human, Kaito." "I don''t know... erm maybe later at night . "But you should probably get some clothes on first," Kaito said. "Clothes?" she asked, a hint of laughter in her voice. "Why would I want to hide such magnificence?" Kaito laughed a little, trying to be casual. "In the human world, we have some funny rules, and wearing clothes is one of them," he said, seeing how relaxed she was. She raised an eyebrow, amused and curious. "Okay, if that''s what I need to fit in," she said, waving her hand. Suddenly, she was wearing a light, shiny tunic. "Wow, that''s cool," Kaito said, nodding. "You really have some magic tricks."This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Just then, Sora and the guild chief walked onto the rooftop, and Kaito turned, feeling a mix of surprise and embarrassment. Sora''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Kaito! What''s going on here?" Sora asked, half-shocked and half-amused. The guild chief chuckled softly, crossing his arms with a knowing smile. "I must say, you''ve made quite the new friend, Kaito." "Um, well ... "This is... uh, my dragon friend, who, I guess, is now a human." The woman smiled brightly, now fully aware of her audience. "Good morning, everyone! I''m not just a dragon; I''m Liora. Kaito was kind enough to feed me last night, and I thought it would be fun to visit in a different form." Sora blinked, trying to understand everything. "So you can turn into a human just like that? This is wild!" Liora . "Being a dragon is exciting, but exploring the human world is even more thrilling. Right, Kaito?" Kaito nodded eagerly. "Yeah, absolutely! We were just about to¡­ you know, show you around." Sora raised an eyebrow, still skeptical. "What kind of ''showing around'' were you planning? Maybe wandering around the rooftops isn''t the best idea while the city is waking up." The guild chief looked intrigued. "This could change how we approach challenges if dragons can communicate with us. Liora, can you help us with bigger issues in the city?" Liora thought for a moment. "If we bond well, I can help in many ways. But I''m here for fun first! Maybe I can add some excitement to your routine," she said with a grin. Kaito laughed, feeling relieved by Liora''s light-hearted approach. "Okay, we can start with something simple. The city has many cafes and parks. That''s usually where the fun is, right?" Sora crossed her arms, still a bit skeptical but curious. "You think taking her out is a good idea? People might freak out seeing a dragon turn into a human." Liora raised a finger thoughtfully. "Oh, that sounds fun! Who wouldn''t want to know about the magic of dragons turning into humans? We could create a whole new story!" Kaito leaned back, smiling. "And who doesn''t love a good story on a quiet morning? Let''s do it!" The guild chief nodded. "A new alliance could benefit us. Just be careful; we wouldn''t want to create panic in the city." With excitement, Kaito clapped his hands. "Let''s grab some breakfast first! I know a great place that serves the best pastries. You''ll love them!" Liora grinned, her excitement clear. "I''ve never had a pastry before! How do you eat those?" Kaito laughed as he walked to the rooftop access. "It''s easy. You just bite into it. Trust me, you''ll want to once you see them." Sora followed closely behind, shaking her head with a smile. "I thought your laziness would get us into trouble, Kaito, but it looks like you have a knack for weird adventures after all." As they headed down to the busy streets below, Liora walked next to Kaito, her eyes full of excitement. The city was buzzing with morning vibes, and for once, Kaito felt really awake. "No more napping now, Kaito!" Liora teased, her laughter ringing through the streets. "We have an adventure to start!" With that, the day lay ahead of them, full of fun, laughter, and new stories to share. Kaito realized that he might have found the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, all because of a dragon who loved pastries and having a good time. **Chapter 2: End** Liora night Kaito was enjoying a relaxing bath, . He closed his eyes, letting the steam envelop him, when he suddenly felt a soft touch behind him. He opened his eyes and turned around to see Liora standing there behind him naked , her playful smile brightening the dim light of the bathroom. "Why are you here, Liora?" Liora laughed lightly, "I thought I''d join you. I hope you don''t mind!" She shifted slightly, and Kaito felt the warmth of her presence even more. . "Well, this is a little unexpected," he said, his voice teasing. Liora stepped closer, . "What''s life without a little adventure?" she replied with a wink, clearly enjoying the moment. Kaito couldn''t stop himself from laughing. "That''s true, but we should be careful," he said, his voice a little more serious. "This could get us into trouble." "Maybe," Liora replied, her voice softening. "But wouldn''t that make things more interesting?" Kaito found himself captivated by her confidence and charm. The bath, which had been a quiet moment for him, was now filled with warmth. "Alright then, let''s see what kind of trouble we can get into," Then Liora joined him in the bath Liora moved closer to Kaito, a playful smile on her face. "Let me help you with that," she said, reaching for the soap. Kaito turned around, exposing his back to her. As Liora began to wash his back, she spread the soap gently, her fingers gliding over his skin. "Does that feel good?" she asked, her tone teasing yet soft. "It feels great. I didn''t know you were such a good masseuse," he replied with a chuckle. "Just wait until it''s your turn," Liora said, laughing lightly. She continued to wash his back, her fingers working in small circles. Kaito closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of the warm water and her gentle touch. After a few moments, Kaito turned to face her, feeling grateful. "Thank you, Liora. You really know how to make someone feel relaxed," he said sincerely. Liora smiled at him, her eyes shining with happiness. "Now it''s your turn to help me," she said, stepping back a little. She tilted her head, showing her long hair. "Can you help wash my hair?"The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. "Of course!" Kaito replied, eager to return the favor. Liora handed him the shampoo and turned around to face away from him. He squeezed some of the shampoo into his hands and gently rubbed them together before applying it to her hair. As he massaged the shampoo into her scalp, Liora let out a soft sigh. "That feels amazing," she said, relaxing into his touch. Kaito smiled "You have really nice hair. It''s so soft," Liora turned her head slightly, looking back at him. "Thanks! I''ve been trying to take good care of it," she replied, playfulness returning to her voice. "You should be careful¡­ or I might keep you here all night!" Kaito laughed, his hands moving through her hair. "I wouldn''t mind that at all. This feels nice," he said, feeling happy as they enjoyed this simple moment together. After he rinsed the shampoo out, he took a moment to admire her hair as it cascaded down her back. "All done! You''re all clean now," he announced with a smile. "Thank you, Kaito! You''re the best," Liora said, turning to face him again. She looked at him with appreciation and warmth in her eyes. That night, Liora and Kaito were casually talking. "you''re sleeping in the other room tonight," "Why are you so shy?" she teased, looking at him with eager eyes. "I''m not shy, Liora. I just know what''s appropriate. Besides, I''m not falling for your games." Liora leaned in closer, a cheeky grin on her face. "Oh, come on, Kaito. Don''t tell me you really want to miss out on all the fun. We could have a memorable night together." Kaito raised an eyebrow, not impressed. "You think you can just try to win me over and get me to do what you want? I''m not falling for that." Liora laughed, not bothered by his tone. "Maybe, but it''s more fun to mess with you. Just think about it! The two of us, together... I promise I won''t bite... too much." Kaito smiled slightly, . "You''re very determined, I''ll admit. Just remember, it''s hard to change my mind." Liora made a playful pout. "Oh, but where''s the fun in that? You''re saying you wouldn''t like a little danger?" Kaito sighed, a small smile on his lips. "You really think you can make me change my mind? I''m not that easy." "Challenge accepted," Liora said, her eyes shining with fun. "Let''s see what it takes to change your mind." Kaito laughed softly, liking her attitude. "Good luck with that, Liora. You might really need it." Liora smiled playfully as she moved closer to Kaito, her heart racing with excitement . Kaito met her gaze, a soft look in his eyes that showed he was starting to lower his guard. "You know," Liora said softly, "sometimes taking risks can lead to really great things." Kaito nodded slowly, his smile growing. "Maybe you''re right. But you have to promise to be careful." Liora giggled, feeling a spark between them. She leaned in, brushing her lips against his in a gentle kiss. Kaito hesitated for just a moment before kissing her back, deepening the connection between them. As they pulled away, Liora looked into his eyes, searching for any sign of doubt. Instead, she found warmth and a hint of something more. Kaito reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his touch sending shivers down her spine. "Let''s see where this goes," he finally said, his voice low and inviting. Liora felt a rush of joy at his words. They shared another kiss, filled with promise and excitement, That night they sleep well together . The sister In the morning, Kaito was still asleep when someone suddenly came into the room. He felt a weight on him and opened his eyes to see his little sister, Mia, sitting next to him. As he woke up, Kaito gently rubbed Mia''s head. "Why did you come here?" he asked, still feeling sleepy. Mia looked at him with a fake upset face. "Oh no! Are you cheating on me with this old woman?" she said playfully. "Do you not like lolis anymore?" Kaito laughed, knowing she was just joking. "Mia, it''s not what you think!" he said with a smile. Mia giggled, her eyes full of fun. "I just wanted to make sure you weren''t forgetting about me!" she teased, nudging him playfully. Kaito smiled, happy with her silly jokes and their strong sibling bond. "You''re impossible!" he said, ruffling her hair again. "Why did you come?" Kaito asked Mia. "I want to take you back home," Mia replied. "Why are you running away? Is it just because you''re too lazy to be a lord?" "Mom and Dad told me to bring you back because you will never say no to me, right?" she added with a grin. Kaito sighed and said, "Hmm, I''m just feeling lazy about going back home." "And even more, they will use my brain to solve the problems, which is really hard for me," Kaito said. "I just want to relax and be rich without doing anything." Mia "But you know being a lord means you have to take responsibility, right? You can''t avoid everything forever." Kaito sighed and said, "I know, but can''t I just enjoy life for a while? I''d rather let someone else handle the serious stuff." Mia tried to be serious. "But what if everyone needs you? You''re good at solving problems! You shouldn''t give that up just because it''s hard." Kaito sighed again, . "I guess, but it just feels easier to dream about being lazy and rich. No worries, no problems." Mia smiled softly. "Maybe you can find a balance. You can enjoy life and still help when you need to. It doesn''t have to be all or nothing." Kaito thought about her words. "Maybe you''re right, Mia. It would be nice to relax but still be there for everyone when they need me." "Exactly!" Mia said, beaming. "Now, how about you get up and join me for breakfast? Then we can talk about going back home." Kaito laughed, knowing he couldn''t escape his responsibilities forever. "Alright, let''s go eat." Mia suddenly ask , "And who is this bitch ? Why is she sleeping beside you naked?" Kaito . "This is Liora. She''s my companion, a dragon who can turn into a woman," he explained quickly. Just then, Liora stirred awake, stretching and wrapping her arms around Kaito in a cozy hug. "Good morning," she said, her voice soft and sleepy. Then she glanced at Mia. "Who is this little girl?"Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! "This is my little sister, Mia," Kaito replied, trying to keep the situation calm. Mia blinked, her eyes wide with curiosity. "Can I hug her?" she asked, her excitement evident. "How cute! Can I hug her?" Liora said with a playful smile. Before Mia could reply, she quickly pulled Kaito closer to her, unhappily rejecting the idea. "No! You can''t hug him!" she said, sounding protective. Liora, feeling a bit of jealousy, also tugged at Kaito, pulling him toward her. "But I want to hug him too!" she insisted, a hint of playful competition in her voice. Kaito sighed, To bring calm, he decided to use a little of his power. With a gentle wave of his hand, a warm light surrounded them, calming the atmosphere. "Alright, everyone, let''s take a breath. There''s enough room for both hugs," he said with a soft smile. Liora and Mia looked at him, their expressions softening as they felt the soothing energy in the room. Mia giggled, still a bit unsure, while Liora relaxed her grip. "See? We can all be friends," Kaito said. After Kaito used his power to ease the tension, they all moved to the kitchen for breakfast. Mia ran ahead, excited to get to the food first. "I hope there are pancakes!" she shouted, her eyes shining with joy. Liora followed behind Kaito, still playfully bumping against him. "I''ll help you make breakfast," she said, flashing him a smile. Kaito couldn''t help but return the smile, feeling a sense of comfort with her. Once in the kitchen, Kaito started gathering ingredients. "What''s everyone in the mood for?" he asked, looking at the ingredients he had. "I definitely want pancakes!" Mia exclaimed, bouncing on her toes. "And some syrup, too!" "Sounds good to me," Kaito agreed. "Liora, do you like pancakes?" "I''ve never had them before," Liora replied, her curiosity piqued. "But I''m willing to try!" As Kaito cooked, Mia helped by mixing the batter. She giggled and talked about her plans for the day, Liora watched with interest, smiling as she observed the bond between the siblings. When the pancakes were finally ready, Kaito stacked them high on a plate, drizzled syrup on top, and set them on the table. "Breakfast is served!" he announced proudly. Mia''s eyes went wide. "Wow, that looks amazing!" she said, devouring her pancakes hungrily. Liora took a bite and her eyes lit up with delight. "This is delicious! How have I missed out on these?" Kaito and Liora laughed and talked while they ate pancakes. They were comfortable and happy together. "You know," Liora said between bites, "I could get used to this. Meals with friends are the best." Mia nodded , her mouth full of pancake. "Yeah! We should do this every day!" Kaito smiled, feeling grateful for the moment. "Absolutely. Breakfast is the best way to start the day." --- After they finished breakfast, Kaito turned to Mia with a serious look. "Alright, Mia. I''ve thought about it, and I''ll follow you back home," he said. Mia''s eyes lit up . "Really? You mean it?" she asked, her voice full of joy. "Yes, but there''s one thing," Kaito continued. "Liora is coming with us, too." Mia looked at Liora, her expression a full of curiosity and surprise. "Is that okay with you?" she asked Liora. Liora . "Of course! I''d love to join you both. It sounds like an adventure!" Just then, Mia''s servant arrived to take them back home. The servant had a familiar expression, a mix of professionalism and slight mischief. "Good morning, my lady," he said to Mia, then turned to Kaito . "And Master Kaito! It''s been a while since I''ve seen you. I see you''re still enjoying your lazy lifestyle, I presume?" Kaito rolled his eyes, a smile creeping onto his face despite the teasing. "Yeah, yeah. Save your jokes, will you?" he replied, The servant laughed . "I can''t help it! It''s good to see you again. But it seems like you''ve gained a new companion," he added, glancing at Liora. "This is Liora. She''s coming with us," Kaito said, introducing her. Liora smiled politely. "Hello! Nice to meet you," she said cheerfully. Mia giggled at the exchange. "You should see Kaito when he''s being lazy. It''s quite a sight!" Kaito laughed, shaking his head. "Alright, enough about my so-called lazy lifestyle. Let''s just get going." The servant nodded, trying to be serious. "Of course, Master Kaito. The carriage is ready whenever you are." "Let''s go then," Kaito said, moving toward the door, followed by Mia and Liora.
