Became an Evil Dragon

40 – 40. Swamp (3)

Unlike usual, he doesn’t laugh like a fool when he looks at me.

Eyes that seem to be intensely and desperately hoping for something.

Blue eyes.

Beautiful dark blue eyes look straight at the dragon.

Nynaeve is looking at me while being held tightly in the dragon’s arms and spitting out scary words.

I’ll curse you if you don’t take me.

Are you saying this with full knowledge of the meaning of the word curse?

Upon hearing such a question, Nineveh uttered one more word.

“It’s not a lie. Nineveh, I mean it.”

The weight of emotion in that voice was enough to shatter my suspicions that Nineveh didn’t know the proper meaning of the word curse.

Soggy feelings that have not yet been properly refined and have no form.

The little fairy buried her face in the dragon’s chest.

“The dragon belongs to Nineveh.”

The soggy emotion contained in the fairy’s words.

It seemed quite similar to the feelings he had for the savage red dragon and the little fairy.

A greed that is close to an instinct that is difficult to define properly.

Lust.

An emotional realm whose reason for its creation is unknown even to those involved.

Dragon gold in the form of a fairy.

Feeling a strange feeling rising in my chest, I first averted my eyes from the fairy who was looking directly at me.

First, I decided to run away.

It was embarrassing.

It was not the feeling I was trying to have, and it confused me as it was a feeling I had not properly recognized.

A feeling of rejection that can be felt because it is both a dragon and not a dragon at the same time.

It was clearly not a feeling I had, so why was it in my heart?

It was strange.

So this must mean something is going wrong in some place that I don’t know about.

“… I’ll take you. Come with me.”

The dragon, who averted his eyes, spat out as if reluctantly allowing it.

I don’t know if he noticed the dragon’s heart, but the little fairy quickly relaxed her serious expression and smiled as usual.

like puns.

“really? hehehehe, I’m glad Nineveh. I really like the good dragon!”

When the fairy started to laugh like an idiot, the icy atmosphere around her instantly melted.

“Then let’s play hide and seek! Hee hee, oh my! Before we play hide and seek, we need to give Nineve a ride on the slide! Understand?”

The atmosphere inside the cave, which quickly melted like ice cream in the middle of summer, was as bright as a cloudless sky, just like the one between me and Nineveh in the past.

“… Ni, Nynaeve! It worked really well! The dragon took me!”

“Wow, wow! I envy you! I’m jealous of Nynaeve!”

“As expected of you, Nineveh! Nineveh is truly my idol!”

“Nineve! Nynaeve! The coolest and prettiest fairy in the highlands!”

The fairies, who were lying on the ground shaking and just watching, seemed to have sensed the changed atmosphere and flew up again.

Then he quickly flew over to Nynaeve and began whispering sweet words in her ear.

“Nineve, can we go too? I think it will be so much fun!”

“To go out with the dragon! Nineveh is so cool!”

“Take us too! huh? Nineveh~ How can it not be?”

“I envy Nineve!”

Fairies were also quite desperate.

To impress Nineve, who became the queen of their pack.

And it seemed that there was also fear of me, a fearsome dragon, behind the gags that whispered sweet words in Nineveh’s ear.

“Ehehehehe! no! You guys won’t take me! Nineveh and the dragon are going out alone! You can’t even say that!”

Contrary to her outward appearance, Nineve, whose cheeks were dyed red by the constant flattery of the fairies, steadfastly refused the fairy’s request.

It seemed as if he had fallen for flattery and would grant any and all requests now, but Nineveh did not go over as easily as expected.

Well, the fairies are just talking like that, they probably don’t actually want to go out with me.

If Nineve and I leave, they will welcome it with open arms, saying that no one will notice. If Nineve, who fell for the flattery of the fairies, had allowed them to accompany them, I think the faces of the fairies in the situation where they had to go out with the dragon would have been worth seeing.

Nineveb, who liked the fairies to the point of burning his cheeks at the flattery of the fairies, but never allowed them to accompany them.

And even though Nineve didn’t allow them to accompany them, the fairies didn’t regret it at all.

The confrontation between the spear that never wanted to be pierced and the shield that did not want to be pierced eventually ended with the shield winning.

It didn’t seem like a contradiction at all.

“Ahahahaha!”

Nineve, who is very excited and is in a good mood, rides on her head and gives her a dragon crumple.

The silver-haired fairy gliding from the dragon’s head to the dragon’s side with a cool smile seemed to be in a better mood than any time I’d ever seen her.

Nineve gasping for breath despite not even running how good it feels.

The fairy, whose cheeks were red and who was breathing heavily, seemed so excited that she laughed like a fool and repeatedly ran around the dragon with bouncing steps.

After giving the dragon crumpet a ride, it seemed that everyone had completely forgotten about playing hide-and-seek.

Then, suddenly, if he remembered something, he opened his eyes wide and looked at me.

“Oh! dragon. but where are we going? Nineveh, I have no idea. let me know.”

I thought so, but Nineveh, who, as expected, has no idea where I’m going.

I didn’t even know where I was going, but I thought I was going to ask you to take me like that.

I thought it was Nineveh.

By the way, would Nineve like the Meglites? Don’t normal girls like frogs with strange textures and weird looks?

Moreover, the Frogmen’s appearance was hard to see as cute even with rude words. The appearance of a monster that has not been moe at all that would come out of a classic Western fantasy.

It was literally a frog that grew in size and walked on two legs like a human. Also, I didn’t bother to say it, but as much as I live in a swamp, it smells a bit fishy.

eww.

The crowning point of the dragon is, of course, the large, inhumanly protruding eyes.

That was the part that made it difficult for even the most squeamish person to accept Frogman as a good person.

“There, um, what should I say? There are quite a few guys who like me. They’re weird guys, but I don’t particularly hate them.”

“Do you like dragons?”

Nineve suddenly asks back about the part about whether you like dragons.

Do programmers like me?

Actually, when I think about it, it wasn’t to the extent that I usually like it. Because they almost worship me.

I was like their god.

“hmm. “I like it very much.”

“Do you like dragons too?”

Do I like Programman? It was difficult to answer this question.

It was almost like I didn’t think much of it, and the only reason I regularly visited the frogmen’s colony until now was because I didn’t want people to die because of me in a place I didn’t know.

Even now, I’ve lost much interest in it.

As you get closer and closer to the dragon, your way of thinking begins to change, and the changes that appear as your human conception fades.

Still, I didn’t hate the programmers that much. He liked me so much in the first place, but there was no reason to dislike him.

“I don’t particularly hate it.”

“Hmm.”

Nineveh let out a strange groan, expressionless. All the good looks from a moment ago had disappeared.

It’s the first time I’ve seen Nineve make any expression.

Nineveh was an emotional fairy who was always smiling to the point of exaggerated joy or immediately crying when something sad happened.

For some reason, when I met the fairy’s emotionless eyes, I felt a slight chill on my back.

“I want to go today.”

“huh?”

“I want to go today.”

“today? I don’t really need to go today.”

“You said you were going today. I will go today.”

Nineveh cuts it off and cuts it off. Nineveh’s eyes were determined, and she waved her hand at the fairies that were hovering next to them and drove them away.

“crying!”

“too bad!”

While quietly watching, the faeries who had been harmed screamed and fell from Nineveh’s surroundings.

To those fairies, Nineve declared in a cold voice.

“You guys are here. Nineveh, because I’m going to go with the dragon.”

There seemed to be no sign of joy at all. Where did Nineve, who had been excited about her first outing with the dragon, go?

Confused, I said to Nineveh.

I couldn’t understand why Nineve, who seemed so happy just before, had changed so suddenly.

“what’s the matter? Even if I go today, I have nothing to do. Let’s just play hide and seek. You did that earlier. Well, there are fairies too. It’s my first time playing hide and seek with so many people. Will it be fun? huh? Nineve.”

“I don’t know, stupid dragon.”
