I Became the Son of an Evil Dragon

100 – One Heart That Will Not Change (1)

My head was stroked.

Lightly and deeply.

“…I told you I would wait here, sister.

If mom wakes up, and if I don’t…”

A bleeding red head with nails stuck in its arms

My precious ‘family’ that I was able to save just before my body turned as cold as my grandmother’s.

I held the hand of the woman who must always be by my side a little tighter.

“If you need to eat, please put it down and go.

…And I’m sorry. It’s like this every time.”

The hand of hers was now lightly patting, but there was no sign of letting go.

I definitely said it was okay to go.

“Sister – “

Although it was heavy, it somehow raised its reed-like body as if it was swaying in the wind.

… It was immediately apparent that the owner of her hand was not a woman with golden hair.

“You have a pale face, Russell.”

“…Ah.”

“Come here. Oh my…

I told you to sleep well. It’s not good for your health to stay awake until your eye area looks like this – “

Hugged Harder.

Until you hug me together.

I thought I was going to burst into tears.

Her mother just touched her head and back, and she let out a faint smile.

“I see you were worried.

…Thankfully.”

“Then it looks like you’re not going to do it?!”

The bandage is still soaked with red blood.

Foam in the mouth.

No matter how strange my mother was becoming, I was. I…

“I’m sorry. I made you worry.”

A very calm voice compared to what happened.

For someone who tried to stab himself to death, his eyes were strangely comfortable.

“You know, Um-no, I mean…

Madam, if you don’t want me to go on such an adventure – “

“Russell, my dear son…”

The words I wanted to say were not uttered.

The heart I tried to let go of was instead gently caught and placed back in my arms.

“I wonder how severe the mental suffering must have been during this time.”

In that one word.

In my mother’s arms, it’s as if things have gone back to how they used to be.

In a gentle whisper that doesn’t make you obsessed with the uncomfortable sensation of tingling your skin.

“Mom?”

“Yes, Russell. This is your mother.”

It firmly catches those who fall forward, but doesn’t entangle them with its tail.

A hand gesture that sweeps the hair but does not gradually go below the waist.

A red dragon with its former self who just wanted to embrace me when I was shivering in the cold.

“…Your irreplaceable mother.”

Even the kiss that gently touched and fell on my forehead was not sticky.

Only a simple red aura remains on the smiling lips, leaving only a warm feeling.

Sticky saliva hung down, and the long tongue did not even wipe it away.

– Gurgling.

Her mother smiled and stroked her cheek when her stomach was rocking painfully without her noticing her.

While slowly dropping her body.

I didn’t dig in any further or hold on any further.

“How difficult must it have been to stay by your side for so long?

…Didn’t Sister Gella prepare food for you separately?”

“I have no taste in my mouth.”

I sobbed, but laughed.

While trying to hold on to the corners of my mouth that are distorted.

“Then let’s eat something.

Mr. Luterrier’s cooking skills were good, but did he still miss the food with my own touch?”

When she nodded, she slowly raised her body and held on to her mother as she took her steps.

She stumbled, but somehow she seemed to shine even brighter than before as she continued to rely on me.

Is it because I saw the darkness swallowing me up and saw the end?

“Would you mind taking me to the kitchen?

…As a bonus, it’s probably better to meet in person and talk – “

“Yes, I am here.”

I have to turn her handle and push it.

Rather, the person who grabbed me was my older sister, who appeared with her body tightly protected by armor.

“Her face is so glowing from sleeping spread out.

Then get away now. Don’t think about doing something stupid again.”

“Whoa, sister!”

– Paddeuk.

The lightning surrounding the weapon made a sound again.

It felt like sparks were flying from my sister’s eyes as she snarled while holding onto my wrist.

…Or maybe the light burning brightly from the weapon was captured in those blue eyes.

“Did you enjoy torturing your son like that?

Since you can’t force something you don’t like, you’re playing with her life.

Among the mothers I have seen – “

“It’s probably the worst. It doesn’t matter.”

However, this time the two did not collide.

The reason my mother ran away,

It’s not like my sister got tired of it and turned her head away.

“…I should apologize for what happened so far. Nothing.”

Instead, my mother gently let go of me and slowly knelt down in her place her her her-

“What are you doing now – “

“Mom?”

He placed both hands on the floor and bowed his head deeply.

There was no threat whatsoever.

Desperation to somehow get myself back.

There was no flinching or reaction to every touch that touched me.

A completely different person, no, like a dragon.

“And, even though we are not family, I do my best,

Thank you for stopping me, and no one else, from doing something bad to my son.

…Gella Luterrier.”

“…You.”

A grow full of hatred.

And crying, expressing the fear of being abandoned.

A simple voice without any trace of anything.

“Russell,

And Luther.

The harm of what I have done so far is by no means small,

I know very well that the traces of my rampage have left great scars on you, but…

Nevertheless, once again, as my son’s mother, won’t you give me the opportunity to accompany you on an adventure?”

“…Funny sound…”

Even if you say that, my sister’s magic has long since disappeared.

The trembling of the weapon, which seemed as if it would split the air at any moment, has stopped.

“I won’t ask you to accept it or understand my unreasonableness.

…If you don’t want to, from afar.

If you don’t even allow that, I’ll just wait in my cave for my son to return.”

Tears were welling up in the clear yellow eyes.

But as my mother continued her words, she just kept her hands together while moving away from me.

You might struggle to catch me,

She didn’t extend her claws to hurt her sister.

“But, my concern doesn’t cool down as long as I’m around.

If the heart that still loves this boy as a mother has no place to reach it, it may collapse.”

But now, it seems to tell me very clearly where the hand is going.

The bandages that are still wrapped look too dangerous.

“If you allow us to be together,

If you understand me now, despite everything I’ve done.

With the heart of a helper who helps you.

I will try my best to be by my son’s side as a mother who helps him grow.”

With my head lowered once again, tears fell to the floor.

“Please, won’t you accept it?”

I immediately ran over and hugged him.

A tower that is bigger than me, but that makes it prone to collapse.

And my sister…

“He says he likes him, what can I say?

…I hope this isn’t the wrong choice.”

In the end, he put the weapon back on his waist, removed the armor from his body, and went back into the room.

The reason I tried to chase that older sister was –

“Oh my, be careful…”

It seemed like my mother, who got up behind me, did the same.

As she helped me up after almost falling, my mom brushed away her eyes and scratched my head with her fingertips.

In this light feeling, as if I was back to how I used to be, I was able to smile once again.

“Wouldn’t Russell go to the kitchen first?

I’ll take you there soon.”

Until my mom tried to drop me.

“Let’s go together.”

“If you wait while eating something in the kitchen – “

“…Let’s go together.”

A scene covered in blood that happened when I wasn’t with my mother.

The liquid, which was redder than her mother’s hair, was sticky and cold.

The hand I’m holding is shaking, which one is due to fall?

“…Okay, Russell. Let’s go together.”

I grabbed the door handle and turned it open.

Then the white back, white, back?

“Russell?!”

My older sister sat down and covered herself.

And, the mother’s hand covering her eyes

“I think this is a bit of an inconvenient time to talk, Russell…?

I’m sorry. I’ll close the door soon.”

As soon as Mom woke up, the house started to be noisy once again.

It felt like I could feel the excitement of the moment when the adventure had just begun once again.

Or is it because I saw my sister’s smooth back

… Below the waist her her her, the tail her fluttering-

***

“Is Russell sleeping?”

“I had a hard time getting her tail out of her. I like it, a lot.

…I had nightmares for a while because of you, so I had to hold you to the point where I was cramping.

I’m not bragging.

I believe you know what that means.”

“…No matter how many times I apologize, it won’t be enough.

But, I am sincere.

I will remain as that child’s mother.

Until that child wants it.”

“Did you really die and wake up?”

“…Well.

I guess I should say that I saw something much more wonderful than that.

Happy moments, a future I can reach.

Perhaps… I should say that I came to see with my own eyes what might have been a momentary dream.”

“I’ll be watching for a while.

I’m sure you understand what I mean.

Just because you suddenly become a mother doesn’t mean the threats and things you’ve done so far will disappear all at once.”

“Of course.”

“…Russell has been sleeping with me for a while.

Until you call my name like crazy in your sleep.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Do you know how creepy it is to be muttering like you’re crazy?

So, just know that I will always be by your side.

Continue.”

“If the child wants it, then so be it.”

“I don’t believe it. When you said you would remain a mother.

The things you did, the things you said.

You know very well that there are many things a mother should not do.

In particular, the smell is still the same every time you are near that child.

She’s struggling to somehow leave her scent. “

“… But, if she doesn’t want the child-

She said that if the child is not willing to embrace me sincerely,

I can’t be happy.”

“She sounds like she tried to force it.”

“…I might have done it, but I didn’t know.”

“What?”

“At least she realized it wouldn’t bring me happiness anymore.

Now I have to try harder.

So that it can be accepted.

…So that the gaze directed at you can also be directed at me.”
