NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21: Special
Seeing the draconic scale covered fist moving towards her, the wood dragoness couldn't help but struggle to change her previous trajectory, failing so incredibly at that given that she is already way too close to her liege for her to avoid his attack anymore, prompting her to merely close her eyes as she accepts her fate.
Meanwhile, Argenta is currently watching the fight between her elder sister and her liege unfold while struggling to reach their destination, her mind rushing to think of ways to catch up as she starts blaming herself for the seemingly fool proof, yet easily cracked plan that she devised, the distance between the two of them that they thought are their advantage turning itself against them now as it works in their liege's favor.
As the scene continues though, what the two draconic ladies thought is going to be one hell of a painful hit turns out to be a soft, well, not too soft flick right in the wood dragoness' forehead, sending her down to the ground in one fell swoop as she looks at her beloved liege with some grievance in her eyes, eyes that looks more like that of an adorable little creature rather than the terrifying reptilian eyes of the dragon she is in the upbeat young man's eyes.
Watching her elder sister plummet to the ground, the metal dragon, Argenta, couldn't help but feel that the danger that is her beloved is about to pay his attention to her as well, what she thinks is something that is going to be good when the fight starts, only to lately realize now that she is about to suffer the same fate as her elder sister Yggdrasil.
Trying to escape such fate, the dragoness starts flapping her wings as she attempts to soar back into the high skies, the upbeat young man smiling as he realizes what she intends to do, the wind elemental mana around his feel coalescing into a solid platform for him to step on, something that he just somehow did subconsciously without any sort of invocation.
"Alright Argenta, playtime is over…" soaring through the skies as he steps on the wind elemental platforms he is constantly conjuring, Diluc eventually catches up to the metal dragoness, his fist already moving towards her head as he performs one final jump, scaring the lady for a second before she realizes something as she feels his body sitting on top of her head.
"Now why don't you be a good girl and go down now?" gently holding her head before caressing it, the upbeat young man said with a doting voice causing the dragoness to feel pretty shy, a completely weird image as she is currently in her full draconic form, before she starts descending down the skies eventually reaching the main island of the Draconic Realm, where Yggdrasil is now resting while being on her humanoid form, her beauty standing out even more as her sweat fills her naked skin.
Touching the ground with her feet, the metal dragoness' body shines a white light before it shrinks and assume human form, the cold, seemingly emotionless, platinum haired beauty emerging from the light, immediately pouncing on the upbeat young man as she appears.
"How are you even that strong with just a couple of weeks, husband?" approaching him while still completely naked, with her hair being the only thing covering her most sensitive, womanly parts, the neon green haired, mature beauty, Yggdrasil, asked with a hint of teasing on her tone, hugging the arms of her liege in hopes of seeing his embarrassed face.
Her plans are bound to fail though as the moment she locks one of the upbeat young man's arms deep within her great ravine, the young man, their liege, immediately looks at her with a gaze she knows all too well, a gaze of someone who just refuses to bend to her will.
And her speculations are correct, as instead of her making him shy from her advances, she was the one who got really embarrassed as she feels a stinging, yet weirdly gently pain from her behinds, the clapping sound resounding just a moment after she feels the sensation, said sound going along with the sound of her melodious, gentle voice squealing in absolute surprise.
"Guess" looking at the mature beauty who is currently pouting her lips in annoyance, the upbeat young man couldn't help but smile as he claims a victory to this little teasing game of theirs, the evidence of the neon green haired beauty's defeat being the completely blush covering her entire drop-dead gorgeous face.
Seeing that the beauty is already pretty much tamed from her teasing nature, the upbeat young man leans a bit and kisses her on the top of her head, causing the beauty's eyes to glow in joy as she looks back at him, clearly wishing to have some more of what she just felt, after the young man gives that to her younger sister as well.
Watching how the two interacts, Argenta's face couldn't stop itself from expressing how much she wants to experience the same as well, an expression that the upbeat young man didn't miss as he immediately leaned in and kisses her at the top of her head as well, causing the two ladies to giggle to themselves, showing how much they enjoy this moment between them.
"Alright alright, go and get dressed" the upbeat young man said with a smile on his face as he let go of the two draconic beauties in his arms, the two of them obediently picking up the clothes he gave them as they start wearing them once again, the contrast of their feminine charms and the clearly made for men clothes bringing out such great contrast and appeal to them, making the upbeat young man nod in appreciation.
"Liege, c-can you teach me that move?" approaching him after they got dressed, the platinum haired beauty asked with some hesitance in her voice, looking quite antsy as she waits for the upbeat young man's response.
Looking at her current expression along with her body movements, the upbeat young man couldn't help but snicker for a bit as he just didn't expect that this beauty will be this shy of a girl, completely different from her cheerful and clearly outgoing personality when she is still in her young form.
"I see no reason not to…" the upbeat young man said as he moves one of his hands to pat her head full of platinum strands of hair, before looking at the approaching mature beauty with an inquisitive look on his face as he asks, "Do you want to learn that as well, Ygg?"
"Why not? If it will help in me aiding you, my husband and liege, then all the more reason for me to learn that move" despite being all to mischievous and cheeky every time she got the chance to do so, the neon green haired mature beauty still places her benefactor, her liege and beloved, the upbeat young man, as the most respected and most important person in her heart, a clear display of it being this moment as she immediately turns serious the moment she saw an opportunity to attain greater strength to assist the young man better than she already does now.
"Great, then let me explain you what I did… first…." As the three of them gathers around in a circle, the upbeat young man starts explaining in great detail what he did previously, the wind elemental platforms on his feet that allows him to thread the skies without falling, the scales manifesting directly on his body, as well as how he changes those scales according to his will, he explains all the concept he had, in the end causing the two beauties, geniuses even amongst the dragons, to get quite confused.
"That's… really weird, even us who are superior beings must use dragon tongue or superior mana manipulation in order to cast our own magic, and you, my liege, just controls the mana in the surrounding by willing it?" after hearing the explanation of the upbeat young man, Yggdrasil's little mouth couldn't help but open wide in surprise before she recovers and talk, with Argenta nodding at her words frantically as she also doesn't know of something like this even in her acquired memories after attaining a humanoid form.
"My liege… y-you starts getting more and more special than what you taught us you are" added the taciturn platinum haired beauty as she looks at the young man in the eyes before looking at his body up and down, all while wondering just what sort of secrets is this liege of theirs still hiding, secrets and talents that are just waiting for them to discover.
"Am I? let's not care about that for now, do you understand what I taught the two of you?" not thinking too much of the thing he achieved despite these two dragons being the one that told him that, the upbeat young man replied more focused on teaching them rather than scanning himself, making him quite unaware of the changes happening not only to his talent, but also to his character and perception of what is normal.
