Chapter 74

Kanna and Saikawa (カンナと才川) is the seventy-fourth chapter of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon.

Summary
Kanna returns to her home world.

Plot
Kanna apologizes to Saikawa, saying that she would no longer be around. Back at Kobayashi's apartment, Kobayashi makes the decision to find Kanna and bring her back home. Tohru interprets this as going to the other world, and Ilulu flat-out refuses, saying that she and Tohru will go instead. Tohru notes that Ilulu is still injured, and also admits that she wouldn't be able to protect two people at once. Kobayashi asks Ilulu to protect her home, then admits to Tohru that she feels the need to confront Kimun again. If Tohru is still worried, Kobayashi would accept staying with Ilulu at home.

Meanwhile, Kanna has met with her real father at the palace. She unfastens one of her hair beads. Kimun and Azad recognise it as the dragon ball. Kanna then speaks up, asking if her father is happy with her now. Kimun happily says yes. Kanna feigns a smile and tosses another one of her hair beads to her father, before leaving with Azad. The dragon ball is still in her hand.

At this point, Azad reveals his involvement in the prank that banished Kanna from her world. He is happy that Kanna stopped pretending to be human, abandoned her friends in that world, and chose to reunite with her real father. Kanna recalls the reaction Saikawa gave just before she left; Saikawa was in tears, desperately begging for Kanna to stay. Azad declares that he will leave once the battle is over. Kanna is not convinced. Azad states more seriously, and with anguish, his intent to make the dragons fight each other till the death. He doesn't care about who Kanna has encountered, and accuses her of playing human for fun. Kanna then accuses Azad of doctoring the letters Kimun wrote to her. Azad asks, if Kanna knew that, why did she decide to return anyway?

Kanna recalls Saikawa's desperate plea one more time, and sniggers, knowing that she had also shed tears at that moment. With greater resolve, Kanna declares Azad an enemy. She will stop the war, reconcile with her father then return to where she calls home. Meanwhile, Kobayashi rides on dragon-form Tohru as the latter opens the portal to the other world. Tohru admits that she had never fought for another person before, but also knows she wouldn't have agreed to Kobayashi going to her world, if Kobayashi did not possess a power comparable to the dragons.
