Synopsis
Ten years after arriving in another world, Michika is nearly thirty, comfortably wealthy from her trade in rare ingredients, and quietly lonely. When she sees a young beastman being whipped in the marketplace, she spends everything she has that day to buy his freedom and offers to adopt him. He's not a lizard. He's a dragon. He doesn't correct her. Four years later, now eighteen and fully grown, he pins her down and confesses. She runs.
