chapter 34
34 – 34. Fairies
The giant dragon and the little fairy were talking about each other under the deep blue summer night sky, and at some point, without saying who said first, they fell asleep.
A cool summer night with a cool breeze. Every time that happens, the forest rustles like a small dance, and in the distance, a group of beautiful turquoise-colored fireflies fly up.
The sounds of grass insects sounded like a mother’s quiet lullaby, putting the dragons and fairies to sleep.
A magical blue full moon night.
The ferocious dragon, the moonlight that makes even the clumsy little elf fall asleep peacefully.
The fairy lying down hugging the belly of the red dragon was breathing with a happy expression, and the red dragon was sleeping as if it were dead, not tossing and turning in its sleep, fearing that the fairy would be hurt by its own gestures.
The story of a little fairy who made peace with a ferocious dragon on a full moon night.
………
Well, it’s a pretty cool story. Isn’t it a beautiful story that could be at least a fairy tale?
Except, of course, for the people who were killed by the red dragon in the meantime (I think it was their own gain), the villagers who had their livestock stolen and almost burned alive, and so on.
If it ends like this, of course it will be a beautiful story.
but! It’s real! No matter how beautiful the scene is, the story of the red dragon does not end!
This means that the ending credits do not go up with great music.
Tomorrow comes at the same time every day until we die, and we had to live with it!
I mean, what have I done?
As the warm morning sun stung the dragon’s eyes, the red dragon woke up and came to his senses.
The period of the full moon, when the dragon’s mind invaded, had already passed, and although it was reluctant human meat, I had a full stomach, and woke up last night after a long, comfortable sleep with the fairy.
You have met all the conditions for the dragon’s mind to go back to sleep.
Yuu X of darkness, no, the red dragon of darkness has already fallen asleep inside.
From now on, it is the time of the red dragon of light.
The satisfied dragon’s heart was already sleeping deep inside me, and now I, the human who had to live in the dragon’s body, had to live.
And as always, it was I who had to clean up what the rabid dragon had done.
“Damn it.”
I let out a sigh and tossed my body a little, and the little fairy leaning against me, as if awakened by the shaking, rubbed her eyes while making a muffled sound.
Ha-am, Nineve, who opened her small mouth and gave a cute yawn, turned her head to look at me, as if she had woken up completely, and smiled bashfully.
Well, regardless of what happened in the meantime, the reconciliation with Nynaeve is quite, or rather, quite a good thing.
And on the night of the full moon, even if I changed my mind into a red dragon, I was guaranteed that I would not harm Nineveh anymore.
I could tell for sure. Even though there were personality differences, in the end, the red dragon was just a part of me.
“Hi, Nineve. good morning.”
“Oh, it’s not crooked Yongyong.”
When I casually greeted her in the morning as usual, the little fairy opened her eyes wide and said, as if the dragon’s morning greeting was surprising.
It’s not crooked Yongyong. Are you really talking about me?
“what?”
“Not crooked Yongyong. Yongyong was crooked yesterday.”
Raising two fingers, Nynaeve grinned with a mischievous smile. Then he continues explaining to me.
“The crooked Yongyong is scary to talk and very rough! But Yong-yong, who is not crooked, speaks kindly and is very kind!”
“… What a fool.”
I was dumbfounded and stayed there for a while, when Nineve, who was smiling brightly, suddenly came to me! hugged
and rubs his face against me
“But Nineveh likes crooked use and non-perverse use! I really like it!”
hehehehe – smiling Nineve seemed happy.
I didn’t know what to do, so I just let the little fairy do what she wanted.
Nineve, who had been rubbing her soft cheeks against the dragon’s body like a happy cat for a long time, whimpered as if something came to her mind and tried to climb the dragon’s body.
Then, because of her short limbs and stocky stature, the silver-haired fairy, who had been angry with me several times, walked towards the dragon’s head and opened her arms toward me.
Act like you want something.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m going to ride a dragonfly! You promised yesterday! The dragon said he would give Nineve a ride on a dragon rod for the rest of his life!”
It seems that there are similar memories like that.
While chatting under the night sky, Nineve declared that he would ride the dragon crumpet at will, and the red dragon did not give a proper answer, but gave a silent affirmation.
Due to the nature of the red dragon, if you didn’t like it, you would have bitten to death, kicked it to death, or burned it with fire.
“There was no such thing as a lifetime. Hey.”
But I certainly didn’t say it was a lifetime.
I lowered my head while bruising the fairy who brazenly refused to change her facial expression and secretly added a shocking condition, and Nineve kicked my nose at random as usual and started climbing the dragon head.
oh my. oh my. This catches the dragon.
Nineveh, who succeeded in climbing the dragon’s head while bickering, sat on the bridge of my nose and smiled while looking into the dragon’s eyes.
“It’s a lifetime! Hee hee, stupid dragon!”
When I lifted my head to make the slope, Nineve, who was in a position to ride the slide, screamed excitedly and slid down.
“Ahahahaha! It’s fun! Ride again! Ride again! hurry!”
Excited enough, the little fairy jumps in place and breathes heavily. The reaction was quite good, probably because it was a dragon that had been ridden in a few days.
After lowering his head several times, kicking his nose at Nineve’s short legs again and again, and burning the dragon crumpet over and over again, the little fairy finally seemed to be satisfied. Leaned.
“Haa… that was good too. The dragon clams are always the best…”
Nineveh’s satisfied groans.
Then, if there was something that suddenly came to mind, he asked while putting his forehead on my stomach.
“Ah, dragon. Are you going to do that?”
“what?”
“What the angry dragon said last night while screaming. A tribute to the Baron and the village? Cleavage and delusion? You said you would drown it in something like that and then burn it with dragon fire.”
“Ah, that’s it.”
I sigh and rest my head on the floor. Complicated thoughts kept coming and going in my head.
“I’m not going.”
what am i
It’s been a long time since the thoughts and ideas of a dragon and the thoughts and ideas of a human were jumbled together in my head to the point where I couldn’t find the original owner.
Now, I don’t feel so guilty that I killed someone even if it wasn’t during the full moon. At the same time, I, as a human being, rationally think it is strange, am coexisting in this situation.
There was me who was enraged at the situation where arrogant people pointed their knives at me, and there was me who thought that, after all, I was the one who stole the livestock, so I started the fight first.
Even if it wasn’t for the full moon period, I was quite comfortable now.
A violent, arrogant, and ruthless dragon.
To be honest, I don’t even know now.
What am I and what should I do?
Like I said yesterday, should I burn the barony and punish the arrogant villagers? Or should I just be content with that and stay still since I killed all the people who came to kill me?
“Great! Then play with Nineve! Don’t go anywhere!”
But Nineve was purely happy that I hadn’t gone anywhere, completely unaware of my complicated inner world.
Seeing that, I feel like my complicated mind calms down a little.
“… I’m not going anywhere now. don’t worry.”
“lol. Nineve, you are happy.”
So I just chose to be with Nynaeve.
It’s a choice that will definitely have to be made at some point, but for now, I’ll put it aside.
For now, right now, I just wanted to be with Nynaeve without any complicated thoughts.
However, there was one issue that needed to be clarified.
“Nineve, so where are those bastards and fairies?”
Last night, Nynaeve, who was crying, told me stories about fairies.
The fairies who tripped, ostracized, hit, bullied, and made fun of Nynaeve.
I plan to punish those who harassed our little elf.
In fact, this issue was more important to me now than the village people or the nearby barony.
Whether it was pointing a sword at a dragon or telling someone that the villagers had stolen and ate some of their cattle, that was far more important than that.
How dare these arrogant squires laugh at, tease, and harass Nynaeve?
This is a big deal!
It was a problem that both the red dragon and the human inside the dragon deeply sympathized with.
