Chapter.38 You are not there

“So you’re still saying no?”

The dragon runs away. As it runs away, it returns to its original form. It once again shows off the majesty of a large black dragon.

My head hurts from looking at it.

The one that ran away stomped back to Rare’s nest and curled up.

“I sleep because I’m full.”

It is completely unmanned after hanging it. Even if I call, there is no answer. The wings shook regularly, as if to show that it was in a state of sleep.

Anyway, it’s the middle of the night now. Since I’m awake, I’ll take a look for now.

Why not stand up and argue?

Anyway, the important thing is that we won. I’m glad he fell into the trap. If I had made a mistake, I would have almost lost the bet.

Because I was about to leave.

Of course, it was a trap with a fairly high probability. Hehehe.

They said they would leave if they lost, so it was barely safe.

This is one of Rod’s two requests. You can’t turn him into Nagari as soon as he begins to ask for his favor, which gave him new life.

A body that cannot leave until information is obtained.

I closed my eyes.

***

Since the dragon woke up late, I also rolled around.

I slept soundly and opened my eyes. The sun may already be high in the sky and illuminating the world, but since it is not visible from within the rare, it is of no concern.

“Hey dragon.”

Even though it is past time for the dragon to wake up, there is no answer.

It’s obvious. This is an operation to ignore.

He walked in front of the dragon’s tail and then retreated again.

I returned to my seat, rummaged through my backpack, and took out some corn soup powder. To make corn soup one by one, you need to shell corn kernels, fry vegetables such as onions, and make a roux with stir-fried flour and butter. There is a lot of work to do, but this is a finished product that just needs to be added and boiled.

A summoning ritual I discovered while exploring how to return to the original world as soon as I inherited the Lord’s mana.

As long as I have this magic that allows me to barely take out one modern item a day, I will never starve to death anywhere.

I still have a lot of corn soup powder left, which I used for those times when I don’t feel like cooking a big meal in the morning.

And the reason I’m trying to boil this now is because of the smell.

The fragrant smell of corn soup!

I immediately decided to use that smell as bait and took action.

Add water to the stone dug in the center, boil it with a fireball, and then cook the soup.

As the fragrant smell of corn soup began to bother my nostrils, I glanced at the black dragon and caught him slowly turning his head.

As expected, he is pretending to sleep. The premonition was correct. Well then, shall we go to a mukbang?

-Slurp

“Huhu, it’s savory and delicious.”

Then the dragon took the bait.

“What is that again? What I ate yesterday was definitely better to eat than raw meat. “Of course it’s trivial.”

“How can you do that?”

Thump thump thump. He approaches and looks down at me. I slurped the soup out of a teacup in front of him. While acting as if he was eating a delicacies from the mountains and the seas.

“Oh, it’s warm.”

Corn soup actually warms your body. When I expressed that, I felt an intense gaze.

Of course, it’s not the brutally murderous gaze you usually see. The end of my gaze was directed towards the corn soup I was eating.

“You human. Do you think this body will fall prey to something like that? This body lived very well without such things for hundreds of years. I heard it smells nice… .”

“Are you good at speaking? “I thought you didn’t say anything because you kept dying all the time.”

After listening to the words being spoken, when I pointed it out, the dragon closed its mouth again.

He’s a funny guy.

“If you want to eat this, polymorph. In that state, you won’t get anywhere. And you didn’t forget the terms of the bet, right? “I won, so I’d like you to admit that you lost and stay in human form for a month.”

“… … .”

The dragon has no answer.

He glares at me again. The curiosity I had about food disappeared, and those dark, murderous eyes began to stare at the back of my head again.

“why… ? If you lose, you lose, right? “A guy like a dragon is planning to turn away?”

“I do not know.”

The dragon turned his back again. The back with big wings visible.

“You have to keep your promise. Or will you not leave even if I lose another bet next time?”

“Another bet? Are you doing it again?”

“yes. what.”

Conditions for betting.

My victory conditions.

It would polymorph into a human in front of me for a month.

If you treat me like this in a combative state, I will never be able to get any information from you.

I’m betting that I might be able to reduce the sense of distance just a little if I stay in a human state.

A way to become friends.

In order to be able to use it, you have to be in a human state rather than a dragon state.

Moreover, in this condition, I have to raise my head every time I speak, which makes my head hurt.

“Would you like me to leave?”

“Of course. it’s bothering.”

“So, if you want me to leave, you shouldn’t back down now that you’ve lost. “That way, I won’t back off, right?”

“… … .”

The dragon glares at me again. But soon a strong light flashed around its body.

“Is it okay? It’s annoying to act like an insignificant human being, though. “I have no choice but to chase you out.”

Black Dragon said that while shaking his black hair.

I thought about it yesterday too.

Her beauty is different compared to her lively dialogue. Especially because the black hair suits him so well.

After losing consciousness for a moment, I slapped myself.

What do you think about dealing with dragons? You crazy guy.

-Sniff.

Whether I did it or not, the dragon went to the stone where the soup was boiling and started sniffing it.

“Does it smell good?”

“This is the rare body.”

“yes.”

“And the bet is off.”

“That too.”

“The items made from this body’s rare belong to this body. So give it to me.”

The guy proudly held out his hand with absurd logic. They say something about human food, but I guess they can’t get enough of this delicious smell.

Of course, that’s what I wanted.

I was about to change my mind, so I quickly took out a teacup and poured some soup on it. Completely different from when he was in his dragon state.

I take the glass with my small hands.

As if he still didn’t want to be close to me, as soon as he got the glass, he walked back, leaned against the wall, sat down, and started sniffing again.

And then I poured the soup into one mouthful.

“Kwaaaaang!”

Then he jumps up, opens his mouth, and gasps. And then he turns his gaze towards me again. It’s a look full of resentment.

“You bastard! What is this! hot! My throat is hot! “You’re attacking me!”

The opponent is a dragon.

I repeat that in my mind again.

Damn cute.

What kind of dragon is doing something so cute?

I stopped laughing.

“Neoooom!”

He must have seen that laughter, and the top of his head was expelling his breath with an angry face.

A mass of highly concentrated energy burst out of the guy’s mouth, as if he could use brass even in a human state.

“Oh my.”

However, it is nothing compared to the breath of the dragon state. I blocked it easily and served the soup again.

And it blew loudly.

“Now calm down. It’s just been boiled, so of course it’s hot. This is cool, so it’s okay. Eat little by little. “Don’t pour it all into your mouth like you just did.”

The dragon came over with a huff and took the soup with a jerk. And then sit at a distance again.

He looked at the soup warily and sipped it very cautiously this time.

Soon he looks at the soup again with a surprised face.

It’s a face I like.

I sipped the soup slowly and slowly, as if I didn’t want to burn my throat like before, but then I ate it all in my mouth because it didn’t suit my personality.

And whoa? It makes a strange sound and turns its head towards me.

“Is it delicious?”

“What does it mean to be delicious?”

“Well, if you ask me such a fundamental question, what should I answer?”

“It was hot earlier. now… .”

“huh?”

“It got warmer.”

The dragon calmly said that and stood up, shaking his head.

“Do all humans eat this stuff?”

“Well, aren’t most people like that? “It’s rare for a dragon to eat raw food as ignorantly as you, right?”

“… … “I think that’s what my mom said.”

Black Dragon blinked his eyes.

From that day on, Black Dragon showed great interest in the food I made.

Thanks to this, the vicious voice that was constantly urging me to leave died down a little.

It still is.

They pour oil into a hole dug into a stone, boil it, add edible grass found near the rare fish, and various animal meats they catch by going downstairs, coat them in frying powder and deep fry them. Then, they kneel in front of them and pick them up and eat them.

-Crispy.

When the dragon puts fried food in its mouth, a familiar sound comes out. The dragon nods with a satisfied expression.

“delicious?”

“I do not know.”

Even as he says that, his hands don’t stop.

“Let me tell you clearly, the feeling of wanting to eat the same food over and over again means it’s delicious.”

“I see. “What does that mean?”

He immediately said that and reached for the fries again. Words and actions are separate.

But still, the sense of distance has not decreased. If anything had changed, it was the fact that people were clearly showing a lot of curiosity when it came to food.

Well, I’m glad if you show curiosity about anything. Wouldn’t it be the best way to reduce the distance in this way?

Plus, this guy

had a lot of cute parts to look at.

As soon as I take out some cooking ingredients, they come and eat it. That too secretly while I wasn’t looking because I was busy doing something else.

Being secretive seemed to be his ultimate pride.

When you take out flour to knead dough, it sneaks up and grabs a handful of flour and puts it in its mouth from a distance.

Then, with a furious look on his face, he spits it out, scatters the flour in his hand on the floor, and runs over to look at him in protest.

“Kaaang!”

okay. He lightly fires his breath in protest. It was a breath mixed with flour.

If you put salt out, they eat the salt.

“Kwaaaaaak! “Nenonoom!”

And then, as expected, he takes out his anger on me, and of course, he doesn’t take his anger out on me quietly.

“I’m delicious?”

I picked up a handful of sugar similar to salt and ate it. ah. Sweet, sweet, sweet.

“It’s just sweet and delicious.”

“… … “As expected, you’re a weird guy to eat things like that!”

“The way you eat is wrong. So, pick this up and shake it with both hands, then put your hands together and say a prayer, and then pour it into your mouth. “So it’s delicious?”

“I’m not eating!”

The dragon turned his head. Black hair flutters. It returns to its own space in the center of the lair while spewing deadly force.

But while I was away for a moment, he sneakily approached me. Why do you know that? Because I’m watching secretly.

He picks up the salt again and gathers it in both hands as I said. Then, he shakes it as if he is praying and begins to look closely at the salt in his hand.

And then eat it. Put it in your mouth.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Then, a roar filled with strong anger starts to sound like a rare sound.

“Surely you ate it?”

“Nenoooooom! I wish you could tell me how to kill you. kill. Absolutely kill. And then I kill again!”

Then I shoved a lollipop into my mouth. In anger, the dragon accidentally covers his mouth with a lollipop, and his face grimaces.

“It’s a gift. “And I’m going to have dinner, so please don’t disturb me.”

I shrugged and the dragon went back to his seat and started sucking on the lollipop.

The cheeks swell up like a lollipop. One side swells, the other side swells.

“Oh oh?”

Fortunately, peace came for a while due to the very pleasant notice.
