"Make sure you eat enough, especially since you are a half-dragon now. And make sure you sleep enough and are always rested. Oh, and make sure not to get in trouble and especially not to mess around with girls, alright?"

Lucas's mother said, lecturing him as everyone was currently in front of the mana teleporter about to head back, except for Lucas and Luna, who was on his head.

'Why would I mess around with girls anyway?'

Lucas thought as he merely nodded every time she lectured him on something.

"Please take care of yourself."

Surprised by the sudden warmth he felt and hearing her slightly hoarse voice, he hugged her back gently.

"Mm, I will, Mom...thanks."

After an entire minute, she finally let go, looking at him with warm yet sad eyes.

"Bwother, are you leawing me?"
