A New Normal [A Dragon Maid Story]

And another one

Things had finally settled in the Kobayashi household. Tohru figured out how to live a normal life. Kobayashi's existence has finally gotten easier after getting a maid, and Hutch... well he no longer had any bad blood with Tohru but he'll pretend for as long as it's necessary to keep crashing at Kobayashi's.

With how stable things were, there shouldn't be anything in the way of the household's happiness. On another note, the doorbell rang. Kobayashi, being the only one nearby, went to answer it.

"Hi." On the other side of the door was a goth looking child, adorned with twintails, and most importantly, a pair of horns and a tail.

"Hutch, the goth loli you ordered is here!" Kobayashi hollered to the knight, who ended up arriving, clothes still wet from his shower.

"How many times do I have to explain that I prefer high schoolers!?" The knight stomped out of his shower, looking at the child for a second, while drying his hair.

"Master!" The child jumped on the large man, seemingly very excited, which further aroused Kobayashi's suspicions.

"There's no getting away from this one, is there?" Hutch said, with a very blasé expression.

Hutch carried the child further inside the house, followed closely by Kobayashi. The moment they took a seat, the knight started to tell his story.

"So, Kobayashi, meet Kanna Kamui. As you may have noticed, she's a dragon." Hutch flicked her horns playfully, which Kanna didn't seem to mind.

"And why do you guys get along so well?" Kobayashi motioned towards the scene going on in front of her.

"He's my husband." Kanna announced defiantly, which got a glance out of the knight.

"No I'm not. We've talked about that." Hutch stared Kanna down, who was looking sadder by the second. "Pouting won't work this time." He said sternly, getting Kanna to tear up. "Do you want me to get angry?" His stare got more intense as his tone lowered.

"No, I don't." Kanna lowered her head in defeat.

"Good, good." Hutch put his hand on Kanna's head and started to ruffle her hair, which got a sound of satisfaction out of the young dragon. With this dealt with, Hutch could finally focus his attention on Kobayashi. "Kanna's parents are stupid so I took their daughter. The fact they didn't do anything about it should tell you enough about the kind of dragons they are."

Kanna removed the large man's hand from her head before standing on his legs, at a height comparable to Kobayashi's. "I need master more than you do. If you don't want to give him to me, I'll take him by force." Kanna jumped off of Hutch and jumped straight at the office lady, hitting her multiple times, with no great damage being done.

"Uhm, you might want to look behind you, Kanna." Kobayashi pointed out right in front of her.

"You won't... get me... like that..." The small dragon was continuing her onslaught, getting visibly more tired.

"No, I'm saying that for your own sake." Behind Kanna was a very angry Hutch, his aura was getting considerably darker and his eyes displayed the most primal rage. The atmosphere didn't get any better when the door creaked open and Tohru entered.

"Hello ther..." Her breath stopped the moment she saw Kanna and Kobayashi doing what she could only interpret as skinship with Hutch right next to them displaying a very blatant killing intent. From there, her reaction could only be one thing.

"Are you cheating on me!?" Tohru's rage skyrocketed and the dragon maid was out for blood, which spiked another person's bloodlust.

"Do not slander my Kobayashi!" Hutch's head snapped towards Tohru and in an instant, he was towering over the dragon, who didn't hold her own frustration back.
