chapter 93
93 – Broken Dragon (1)
The night she was held by her mother and forced to fall asleep on the bed.
In the end, my sister dropped her weapon and came to my side her her, and after the time of wiping my tearful face-
Mom stood up from her seat, wrote something down, made it into several letters, and said,
In an instant, it turned into a chirping white bird in her hand and flew into the sky.
“With this, the wanted order has been lifted.”
He threw that one word at me as I was moaning while caressing my bruised body on the bed,
Mom once again changes her tail to a wavy one-
She hid her her horns her her her.
Then he tied up her hair that was below her waist …
“Ha.”
“I won’t be embarrassed,
I won’t even ask you to understand.
But if Russell likes it, I’ll have to do it.”
She changed her appearance just like her older sister
The color of her hair and fur was still red.
And,
But that doesn’t make her mom not her mom her her her her.
“Did you say you wanted to go on an adventure?”
With her eyes completely devoid of light, Mom opened her mouth to me.
And then she smiled.
Her eyes were as if they had lost their power.
“…Then I’ll follow you.
Do what you want. Russell.”
“What are you planning?”
In the end, it wasn’t me who couldn’t bear it, but my sister.
I’m sure I’ve been through all of that,
Standing up with only yellow fur left in my arms and veins standing on my neck –
A demon hunter I haven’t met for a long time –
He was an adventurer who could raise a weapon against a dragon.
“Russell.”
“You’re going to pretend not to know, what are you talking about?”
But my mother just quietly kept her distance from me and sat on the bed.
Mom, acting as if she didn’t have a sister, handed her tail towards me and placed her fluttering fur on her her body her her her her little by little.
“Where do you want to go and what do you want to do?
…Do you want to become a famous wizard like you used to?
Or explore the dungeon and get your hands on rare items –
Do you want to become a famous adventurer in villages and cities?
Anything is fine. I’ll follow you wherever you go.”
“If something is said from here, aren’t you going to have to answer?!”
Did that attitude end up irritating my sister?
His hand tried to grab my shoulder, but-
“…Ha?”
Her mother just looked at me, frozen in place like a statue of herself.
If you look at her body shaking, it must be a sign of strength.
Sister Gella could not move that body.
Even if you push the wall, it’s as if it’s still in place.
“Huh, that’s it, huh?!”
“Russell.”
The overly calm voice was rather awkward.
It was strange to see my mother moving her mouth as if nothing had happened.
Even though her older sister was roughly grabbing her body and trying to twist it-
She just smiled without blinking.
“I wish I was there for the adventure you want.”
How should I get the word out?
Even if I say I don’t like this way, will a mother like that listen to me?
“…Your mom is unusual, right?
There’s no way all the dragons were this crazy.”
There was no way for me to know.
It’s my first time seeing something like this.
No, I just didn’t understand the whole situation.
What am I?
What on earth am I, my sister and my mother,
Are they trying to fight like this?
“I know you’re surprised. I understand. Just understand.
But, I hope you don’t take it lightly.”
“It’s heavy enough.”
“…It’s not a weight to make a child carry. It’s okay.”
“My sister is like that too!”
I’m exhausted.
Two people I like keep fighting like this –
My mom keeps changing like this.
I couldn’t understand why I had to be the center of this fight.
I received the attention of many people from the village.
My mom, my sister, everyone gave me a hard time.
“Please leave me alone. “I need time to think.”
“…So? Then it should be like that.”
My mother gently got up from her seat, came over to me, gently held her tail with both her hands, and handed it to me-
“Before that, why don’t you pet me a little?”
“We’ll think about that together.”
Her face hardened when she received my answer,
She straightened her eyebrows and tried to show something like a smile on her face.
Joy and suffering could not be in the same place.
If they are mixed together, does it become pain?
“Russell, should I go too?”
My older sister, Gella, who was trying to protect me, glared at her mother as she left. She quickly ran to me and held her hands together.
It felt like it was so easy to tell what it felt like to have her her tail her her her her die her.
“…I’m sorry, but so much has happened –
“I want to clear my head once.”
“Well, we’ve been very attached to each other for a while…
Are you sure you’re okay? I won’t disturb you. I’ll just be satisfied with just staying in the same room.”
She could understand her sister’s feelings of trying to stick together somehow, but
And, seeing that tail drooping made me feel a little uncomfortable…
“It won’t take long.
I’ll come out of the room when it’s time for breakfast.”
I needed time.
The two emotions collided, and my body was still trembling from the magic and power that held and shook me –
I had to think about the things my mother had said since she had changed.
Especially,
…I was surprised that he said it was okay to go on an adventure again.
“Then I’ll get ready quickly.
And, your mother, where is she out of her mind…”
She nodded.
Then, I massaged the body that had been held captive all night once.
My shoulders felt heavy, as if they had been beaten with tears and shouts.
“I know. It’s strange. But, I don’t know.
I’ve never fought like this before.
In fact, it may have been because of an adventure… That it ended up like this in the first place.”
Outside is a dangerous and scary place.
Dirty people filled with insidious and terrible thoughts,
The place where spears and swords were pointed at my mother.
The dragon with red scales told me –
I went on an adventure and met the guard captain,
I met the village chief who politely asked me a favor,
I ended up with Gella, who tried to help me and loved me.
Just like my mother said, it seemed like there wasn’t all bad things in the world.
Of course, I was a little scared of the many adventurers who went crazy to get money.
“It’s not an adventure, it’s your mother, no, the dragon you called mother?
Anyway, no matter how much I think about it, it’s not normal.
Especially if you become unstable with that kind of power –
I don’t know. What will that do for you and me?
Maybe, the nickname really is the evil dragon…”
“At least you don’t do that to me-“
“That’s not true. If I hadn’t stopped you, I don’t know what I would have done with you.
…Have you ever heard of rape?”
I shook my head.
But since my sister said these words so casually, it’s definitely not a good thing.
“Anyway, even if you’re pure, if you’re too pure, you’ll get rid of it again.
It must be even more so since he was a child who grew up as an innocent child wrapped in a dragon’s skirt.
…So it’s a good thing.”
“Yes?”
“No, nothing. I’ll call you when breakfast is ready.”
My older sister was muttering something, and her blue eyes seemed to sparkle a little dangerously.
As if… My mother was looking at me.
It wasn’t pitch dark, but it wasn’t bright either.
After heading to the door, I saw my sister waving at me –
I just hoped that the feeling that the two were becoming similar was an illusion.
***
What the adventurer who went out to the living room saw was a person sitting quietly in a chair,
It looked like a dragon carefully stroking its furry tail as if it were its own.
Gella Luterrier did not welcome the ‘woman’ whose appearance was copied as if she looked exactly like her.
“Tsk.”
With one click of her tongue, the woman with the red and lovely tail trembled.
However, Rosalia moves her hands again, working diligently as if she is trying to shine.
The original prisoner sat in front of him.
“Even if you copy me, Russell will never like you.
I can say that much with certainty.”
“…”
But her yellow eyes were dead and only focused on the room.
Pursed lips chewed and spit out words in a low voice.
“Will Russell like her her tail her her her? Or will she be kind? Adventure from the beginning?
Where did it go wrong? Where did the divergence begin? From where? Where?”
In a sick whisper,
In the meaningless words of a broken person,
The woman who called Russell’s older sister got up from her seat and began to prepare her ingredients.
“…A useless thing.”
She had no idea that she had touched anything wrong. However,
Completely eliminate your identity as a dragon –
She got so sick of me that she started imitating me.
The dog beast flicked its tail and hugged it once.
The warm, soft fur that still had the boy’s touch could not be compared to an imitation.
Unlike how they laughed at each other and shared body odor, the dragons probably just imitated them in an unpleasant way.
But that intention touched her heart in a strange way.
“She likes Russell. I love her too. Do I love her as his her mother her her her?
Why? Mom, if she does, she won’t she?
For some reason, Luterrier could not erase from her her her her mind her her her the face her her that cried out that her family her her had abandoned her.
Maybe something more precious than you think,
It is said that we may have approached someone who is not just a treasure – but is everything to a dragon –
I sat down and took a peek at the ‘imitation’ that was saying ominous things.
The face of her was the same.
However, the ponytail and the changed tail looked so much like him that he shuddered even more.
The hand held his sword and he was trembling.
However, there was less that could be done than expected.
Because the opponent was a dragon.
Anything can be achieved with just a few lines of magic –
Because it was an unreasonable being.
And most of all, that being… Was hoping to get love back.
