I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

190 – Side Story 2. The Story After, Tina & Tana (2)

The story afterward, Tina & Tana (2)

Tina is the sole conscience of the warrior party. That’s what Jim still thinks even after all this time has passed.

First of all, she doesn’t lie much and tries to respect others.

Yes, her actions may be troubling to some, but there is no malice behind them.

That’s why Jim could tell.

There is no malice in all these actions, no excuses like punishment or disbelief.

To Tina, all of this is just a natural thing.

“I’m going to make a kitchen here. For the time being, you’ll have to eat preserved food, but don’t worry. Preserved food made from the Eye of Truth is pretty tasty.”

All of Tina’s actions were kind and I took them for granted.

Jim could tell.

‘Dragon’s blood… … .’

This is just a characteristic of dragons.

Just as each living creature has distinct characteristics, Tina also has dragon characteristics that stand out.

Tina, who can’t control her greed like a newborn baby.

Looking at that sight, Jim couldn’t help but feel resentful towards Rapha.

All dragons originated from Rapha’s blood, so all this greed and madness must have originated from her.

“This is our living room. It’s spacious, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it is quite spacious.”

A desolate living room.

It’s so wide that there’s nothing there.

If I had to look for something, it would probably be stalagmites growing from the floor and stalactites hanging from the ceiling.

The most striking thing was that the two were connected to form a single stone pillar.

“And this is your room.”

“… … It’s spacious and nice.”

“right?”

Jim answered in a soulless voice.

The room was quite spacious.

The underground space that was entered through the sinkhole was so large that it could be called a cavity in itself.

And there wasn’t that much.

The only decorations inside are still stalactites, stalagmites, and stone columns.

But, since you just moved in, what can you do? As time goes by, the furniture will pile up.

And Jim knew very well that by then he would be in an irreversible situation.

‘Am I already considered Tina’s property?’

Jim became Tina’s treasure.

It may sound like a very glorious thing to say, but it is different if it is the dragon’s treasure.

A tale of a hero who defeats a common dragon and obtains treasure.

In other words, this also meant that once a dragon gets its hands on something, it will not let go until it dies.

“Stay inside, Jim.”

“yes?”

“Stay in.”

Tina doesn’t give any explanations.

It felt as if it was natural for him to follow his words.

“load?”

“Ah yes.”

Jim entered the room quietly.

Tina is like a newborn baby when it comes to dragons. And children are naturally stubborn.

However, while the stubbornness of a human child is cute, the stubbornness of a dragon child is cruel and even creepy.

Why would a dragon, such an arrogant being, keep alive a lower race that does not listen to him?

Even if Jim is considered Tina’s ‘treasure’ right now, it’s a different story if that treasure tries to run out of the treasure vault on its own.

It’s better to just go in on your own feet than to be thrown into a room with restraints all over your body.

And even though Tina’s condition is extremely unstable right now, time will tell.

Yeah, right now it’s just… … .

***

Two days passed with such optimistic judgment.

During that time, nothing special happened to Jim and Tina, and their lives were just stable.

Tina had kidnapped Jim semi-forcibly, but she didn’t seem to have any special wishes for Jim, so she just clung to him and didn’t do much else.

Tina would sleep for a while, clinging to Jim, purring like a cat, then wake up repeatedly, leaving the basement and going back and forth to the outside.

What are you doing?

The answer wasn’t that difficult.

“How about this?”

“I like the clean design.”

“yes?”

Every time Tina went out and came back, furniture appeared in the basement.

First a closet was added, then a door, and so, little by little, the feeling of living began to increase.

In just two days.

That’s what scared Jim.

Where on earth could you get something like that right now? Doesn’t it look like it was prepared in advance?

Every time he felt a sense of comfort in the basement that was starting to feel more and more alive, Jim would think.

‘Dangerous.’

I’m getting used to this space.

If even she felt this way, what would Tina think?

For her, this space may already be complete as a home.

I thought time would solve it, but I felt like it might be dangerous if I didn’t hurry. But there was no point in thinking about it.

“… … .”

In this vast underground space, the only exit is a hole above where light streams in.

The only way to escape the space you entered when the floor collapsed was to fly or find the far end of this wide underground space and crawl up the wall from there to the exit.

Yes, that means it’s impossible for Jim, who can’t use magic and whose physical strength is at the level of an ordinary person.

“Why there? Do you want to go out?”

“… … .”

Even just looking up for a moment was enough to avoid Tina’s surveillance, who was staring at him intently.

Even if you wait for her to leave, it’s impossible to escape until she returns.

In the end, there was nothing Jim could do. He was physically blocked from escaping, so there was nothing he could do.

“No, I just saw it.”

Jim shook his head and lifted Tina, who was lying on his lap, onto his lap, then hugged her naturally from behind.

If you can not avoid Enjoy.

That’s when Jim started to give up on escaping and accept reality.

“This kind of natural atmosphere isn’t bad, right? Sir.”

“… … I waited for you.”

Jim opened his eyes to the only escape route he had been waiting for.

Yes, unlike Tina, who is no different from a newborn baby dragon, I am someone who has experienced the life of a dragon from beginning to end.

“Tana.”

It was the moment when the original owner of the Dragon Heart held by Tina opened his eyes.

***

It was inevitable.

For Tina, the revelation of the dragon’s wings, horns, and tail meant that the dragon’s characteristics were becoming more prominent, and the dragon’s characteristics being more prominent meant that Dragon Heart was more active than ever.

If Tana could normally only watch over Tina’s actions from the inside and train her, it would be natural for that relationship to be reversed when Dragon Heart was activated.

Dragon Heart is the source of Tana, and its power increases, which means Tana’s soul also becomes more prominent.

“Hmm… … I guess it’s because it’s been a while since I’ve been out, but my body feels really sore.”

“Oh, that won’t work. I’ll give you a massage.”

“Ahahaha, I said there is no one else but you, sir? Then shall I ask you to do it?”

Tana smiled as she watched Jim try to please her and leaned back against her.

Jim’s large hands began to rub Tana’s shoulders, and at the same time, the two began to talk.

“What should I do?”

“What?”

“Now, the situation. You must know the solution, right?”

“Isn’t it great? You could spend your whole life here, playing and eating? Even if you don’t lift a finger, Tina will take good care of you. You have a lot to do normally, so why not just enjoy it instead?”

“… … Tana.”

“Haha, just kidding. Just kidding.”

Tana smiled coquettishly at Jim’s serious voice.

Her body sagged against Jim’s massage, and she leaned back, her cheek touching Jim’s.

Tana whispered.

“We all come from our mothers. Our instincts tell us that our mothers’ characteristics are strongly emphasized.”

The mother of all dragons, Mara Papyrus, is an evil spirit and the source of all ugliness, full of all kinds of negative emotions, including the seven passions.

But at the same time, she can be said to be more pure than anyone else.

In some ways, being honest about your feelings of wealth can be better than people who wear masks and deceive others by hiding their true feelings.

That is, her power was pure and natural at the same time.

“Even though we have great strength and wisdom, in reality we are no different from beasts.”

“If you look at it that way, aren’t humans no different from animals?”

“Of course, you too, sir, turn into a beast at night.”

“… … .”

“Hmm, hmm. Well, let’s talk about that later. Right now, we need to find a solution to this situation, right?”

“yes.”

Tina can’t control her desires right now, so if Jim tells her he wants to leave, she’ll be upset, and that upset will immediately lead to bondage and restraint.

To prevent that situation, it is necessary to drive away the dragon nature that is currently controlling Tina’s body.

If it were Jim from the past, he could have just taken away the greed that was in her body, but now he is an ordinary human being.

“Tina is feeling anxious right now.”

“Are you afraid I’ll run away?”

“Yes.”

“Well, it looks like that.”

Tana smiled broadly, saying that was the important point.

“Dragons are an arrogant species. In other words, they are creatures who are full of confidence.”

“that…….”

“For Tina now, it also means that her husband is not yet a treasure that has completely fallen into her hands.”

That’s why I’m anxious.

If you were sure it was yours, you wouldn’t have to worry that your luggage might run away.

Then you just have to let Tina know that you are not her property.

“Then, in order to make it clear that you are not Tina’s property, you just need to tell her your position in the hierarchy.”

“Me?”

“yes.”

“To Tina?”

“Yes.”

“how?”

Jim straightened up.

There’s no way he can beat Tina. He couldn’t beat her before, so how much worse can he be now.

“Should I make use of my master’s special talent?”

“If I had to pick my specialty… … .”

Tana pressed her body closer to Jim with a bitter smile.

Then she could feel the presence of a giant magic sword touching her body.

“I think I know which beast would be more dominant at night?”

The only way Jim could win against Tina was there.
