Chapter 70

Kanna and the Park (カンナと公園) is the seventieth chapter of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon.

Summary
Kanna is angry at her father.

Plot
Kobayashi is with Takiya and Elma at the tavern after work. Elma notices Kobayashi's worries, and asks about Kanna. Back home, Kanna is comfort-eating a pack of cream bread, much to Tohru and Ilulu's annoyance. Kanna responds that she is angry her father does not acknowledge her. Ilulu then tells Tohru that she knows Azad from a previous encounter when she was part of a separate tribe of dragons, whose leader had close contact with Azad. The leader then deserted the tribe, and Azad was later thought to have disappeared as well. Ilulu offers to spy on Azad.

Back at the tavern, Takiya becomes aware of Kanna's dilemma. He wonders if that was what Fafnir meant by "pretending to be human", and suggests that Kobayashi be Kanna's parental figure in her real father's absence. When Kobayashi returns home, Kanna asks her for company the next day. They go to the park to talk. Around her, Kanna notices the parents playing happily with their children, and confesses that she is happy living in Kobayashi's world, with Saikawa, Ilulu and Tohru, while also saying she doesn't care for her father.

Kobayashi apologizes for insulting Kanna's father, and asks how Kanna became interested in humans. Kanna says that it happened during a cold night back in her world. She felt cold, and saw how humans kept warm by hugging blankets and keeping close to each other. She tried to do the same by hugging another dragon. Kanna then goes home to make her dragon ball, with Kobayashi saying she needs some time to herself. Kobayashi eventually decides to buy a toy to cheer Kanna up with. At the toy store, Kobayashi encounters Fafnir who was buying video games. Fafnir warns Kobayashi that she does not have the strength to influence the dragons. Mr. Magatsuchi, who was buying Shouta's reward for passing his mage test, appears to both Kobayashi and Fafnir at that point.
