Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

"...Offering?"

Luna nodded vigorously, "Sister said, after a person leaves, the food is called an offering."

Leon silently covered his face, "Alright…"

"Then, Daddy."

"Hmm?"

"Now that you're back, can I eat your offering?"

———

After slightly comforting Luna, the maid took her back.

Leon followed behind them.

When he walked past Noah, he stopped in his tracks.

Because Noah was staring straight at him.

It was obvious she had something to say to him.

The father and daughter stared at each other, one tall, one short, for a moment before Noah finally spoke.

"Next time you go out alone, remember to let us know."

After a pause, Noah added, "Luna will be very worried about you."

'If only you inherited a little less of your mother's stubbornness, you wouldn't be so hard-headed.'

Leon smiled helplessly and nodded, "Alright, sorry for making you—uh, making Luna worry."

Noah sniffled and let out a breath of relief. "And also, I... I need to apologize to you."

"Hmm? Why?"

"When we couldn't find you today, I thought you… you had abandoned us."

Noah said, "I'm sorry for not trusting you on this matter."

A precocious child always takes responsibility for their own mistakes.

Even if she didn't speak up, no one would know about this mistake.

Leon smiled warmly, squatted down, and met Noah's gaze.

He understood his eldest daughter's feelings well—she longed for family, longed for love, but didn't dare take that crucial step.

Leon couldn't make promises to Noah with shallow words like "I swear" or "I promise."

Noah wouldn't easily believe them, either.

He could only use his actions to slowly prove that he was a good father.

Leon reached out, patted Noah's head, and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he gently reminded her,

"You have to go back to the academy tomorrow morning. Don't stay up too late."

After everything was settled, Leon returned to Rossweise's room.

The dragon mother still showed no signs of waking up.

Leon sat on the chair by the bedside, crossed his legs, patted the dust off his pants, and sighed,

"Ah, you don't even know how filial our daughters are. I hope you can enjoy this filial piety in the future as well."

The only response was Rossweise's steady breathing.

Her breaths were slightly deeper than the day before.

Leon noticed this, reached out, and felt her pulse.

Indeed, her pulse was stronger than yesterday.

"No wonder she's the Dragon Queen; her recovery speed is incredible."

Slightly amazed, Leon's gaze towards Rossweise became sharper.

It was like a lion slowly approaching its prey—

But, before officially hunting, he had to clean up his prey.

Leon decided to try once again to wipe down Rossweise's body.

He refused to believe it—how could his resolve as a dragon slayer turn into lust?

He fetched a basin of warm water, dampened a towel, and stood by the bedside, taking a few deep breaths.

"Alright, let's do this. This time, I won't fail."

His determination looked less like someone wiping a girl's body for the first time and more like a chef flipping a spatula for the first time.

He lifted the lid—

Wait, no, he lifted the blanket.

Rossweise's slender, delicate figure was exposed before his eyes.

The dragon mother might be cunning, and their positions were opposing, but... this body was perfect, like a work of art.

And art knows no boundaries.

Leon didn't admire it much since he didn't quite understand art.

Moreover, he was worried this "art" might shake his resolve, which would be bad.

Blushing, he quickly removed Rossweise's strap nightgown.

Under the faint moonlight, starting from her jawline and neck, he began to wipe her down slowly.

She usually loved cleanliness and bathed daily.

It had been two days since she fell unconscious. Leon had only washed her face, hands, and feet. Because of the unspoken boundary between men and women, he hesitated to wipe her body.

Being forced to see her naked and carefully cleaning her body were two entirely different things, understand?

If he could, Leon would even wear a full suit of black and gold armor to wipe down this dragon mother.

Because that would feel right, wouldn't it?

A dragon slayer should be fully armed to face a dragon.

In reality, it was more about hiding his blushing face under a helmet.

(Black and Gold Armor: Coward!)

Wait—

A sudden thought struck Leon.

If there's no helmet, he could just blindfold himself.

Without hesitation, Leon grabbed a cloth strip and covered his eyes.

Back in the academy, he had trained in blindfolded combat and achieved first place with his incredibly precise tactile skills.

So now, blindfolded cleaning shouldn't be a problem.

However, it turned out that being too sensitive to touch wasn't always a good thing...

The warm towel brushed across Rossweise's chest. The texture changed dramatically from flat to curvy.

Leon's face turned crimson, and his hands trembled slightly.

Blindfolded, his other senses became sharper.

To the point where he even started hallucinating.

"Master Leon, put more strength into it. My waist, press harder."

Not only that, but the blindfold seemed semi-transparent.

He vaguely saw something purple flashing...

It couldn't be dragon patterns, right?

'0No way.'

Finally, holding his breath and mustering all his courage, Leon finished wiping her upper body.

When it came to her abdomen and thighs, it got much easier.

After completing the process, Leon found blindfolding himself far more exhausting than leaving his eyes open.

Thus, on his "Post-Dragon Slayer Retirement Checklist," he silently crossed out "Blind Massage."

After tidying everything up, Leon massaged her hands and feet to promote circulation.

Ah, a knowledge point:

This wasn't special care for the dragon mother.

He just didn't want her to wake up with numb limbs and fail to cooperate with him during their fight.

Yes, everything was for better revenge.

Having done everything, Leon sighed with relief.

Thinking for a moment, he placed the toy bear he got from the young dragon playground beside Rossweise's pillow.

Feeling content with the night, Leon slumped onto a chair by the bed and fell asleep leaning against the bed's edge.

Exhausted and in an awkward sleeping position, Leon had strange dreams all night.

In his sleep, his arm moved slightly, and his fingers accidentally touched the toy bear.

But the texture wasn't like the stuffed cotton inside the bear.

It felt... hard.

Leon opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the toy bear. From its appearance, nothing seemed off.

He didn't think much of it, closed his eyes, and fell back asleep.

———

The next morning, Noah entered Rossweise's room.

Seeing Leon sleeping by the bed instead of on it, she murmured softly,

"Taking care of Mom must've exhausted him..."

She tiptoed over, grabbed a jacket from the sofa, and approached Leon to cover him up so he wouldn't catch a cold.

Just as she was about to lay the jacket on him, Leon woke up with a jolt.

"Hmm? Noah? Good morning."

Leon rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched, "Off to school?"

Noah nodded.

"Let's go. I'll see you off."

"No need, you should rest more."

Leon smiled, jumped in place twice, and said, "It's fine, let's go."

Noah didn't argue further.

The father and daughter arrived at the temple's front yard, waiting for the "school bus driver" Leviathan.

"How's Mom doing?" Noah asked.

"She's recovering quickly. By the time you're back this weekend, she'll definitely be awake." Leon answered truthfully.

"Hmm... Thanks for taking care of Mom."

Leon smiled and patted her head, "We're family. There's no such thing as 'thanks' or 'trouble.'"

As they chatted, the massive figure of Leviathan appeared in the distance.
