Chapter 40 [The Thunder Tiger](1)
‘Seriously, it’s f*cked up.’
Right after receiving Yeonhwa’s call, the only thing that filled Dante’s head was a single sentence.
Restless, he crossed his arms and began walking nonstop around the room.
……. How the f*ck do you really do this.
“Oh no…! How did you know that damn lizard..!!”
Soon, Dante sat down on the floor and grabbed my hair.
With tears streaming down his face, he shook his hands.
“Haa…Haa…”
An unfathomable, dark, sticky fear attacks your body at once.
I can’t get my breath to go up my throat, so my breathing gets quicker and faster, and cold sweat runs down my back like rain.
Pale complexion, golden eyes full of fear.
Like a mouse placed in front of a snake, it felt like my whole body was paralyzed.
What now? What should I do?
Should I run away? If you go where?
No, can I escape properly in the first place?
Then hide? It’s obvious that you’ll get caught anyway?
An excuse?
Can you talk?
Is there any reason left?
On the premise that you can have a conversation with the other person, you’ll do anything, whether it’s shaving your yaburi or teasing your tongue.
Dante slowly began to bring his hands to my neck.
It’s scary.
It’s insanely scary.
I had no idea how the black dragon, blinded by jealousy and possessiveness, would react or what crazy things it would do.
“Huh…”
Really, it’s scary enough to die.
How much pain will she give me?
Can I die in peace?
Perhaps, in the name of mental education, they lock themselves in a room and fight each other every day?
Nothing or confinement?
Wouldn’t it be possible to chain her limbs and feed her only pineapple pie every day?
“Kuh…!”
….Yes, in that case,
I’d rather live like that, with these hands—-
“──No.”
Tup!
“…! Pooh!”
In an instant, air fills the lungs.
Dante gasped as he let out a breath that had been blocked.
It feels like a flash of spirit.
When I hurriedly opened my eyes, I saw that Nagi, who had transformed into a human form before I knew it, was holding tight to the hands that were strangling me, and was dropping them far back so that I couldn’t approach them any further.
…..What have I done just now…?
Dante, with a confused look on his face as if he had faced the meaning of his own actions, couldn’t bear to say anything, just putting his lips together and taking them off.
As if nailing a nail to him, Nagi pursed his lips slightly in a very determined tone.
“No.”
It was the same as looking weak and languid, but unlike before, those emerald eyes were shining sharply.
Forcibly lowering Dante’s hand that had been suspended in the air, Nagi silently and quietly embraced him in his arms.
The warm body temperature that comes through the body.
The sound of the heart that can be heard regularly in the ear.
At the touch of her soft breasts wrapped around her face, Dante also suddenly hugged her tightly.
“……Nagi…Hey…?”
A tone full of bewilderment.
“…….”
Nonetheless, Nagi remained silent and began to pat him on the back.
As if a mother comforting a child.
Since Dante wasn’t used to contact with women, he didn’t know what to do, and he blushed in an instant, but it certainly seemed to have an effect on stabilizing his mind and body.
Because Dante’s face, which had been almost dying just a moment ago, had changed to a much more comfortable one.
The shaking of his body has almost stopped, and the headache that has been gripping his head has completely disappeared.
He was just calmly breathing and regaining his original pace.
As expected, I wonder if there is no better medicine than someone else’s hug when you’re having a hard time.
Or is it a special ability that Nagi has?
…..Well, it doesn’t matter either way.
How much time had passed to be held in the arms of a huge tiger in so many different ways.
“……. Now you calm down… Did you…?”
As he carefully stroked Dante’s hair, Nagi asked slowly with his characteristic languid voice.
“Yeah..Thank you Nagiya.”
Dante gently moved his body away from her arms, laying his eyes down on her floor, as if feeling shame at the thought of her ugliness and indecision.
The strange atmosphere around Nagi, who is biting his lips with a sad expression, must be because of his mood.
Dante wiped my face with the palm of his hand, looked worried for a moment, then said,
“…..Good.”
Patch my cheeks as if I had made up my mind soon! And hit him with both palms and got up from his seat.
Yeonhwa told him.
I’m sorry.
Her own negligence.
I’ll try to pull the time off somehow, so you can run away in the meantime.
I wanted to tackle her with a wry smile saying, ‘If I could have run away, I would have run away’, but I couldn’t help but feel the guilt and kindness in every word she said.
No.
It’s not your fault.
Maybe it’s my fault for calling you out for nothing.
It might be the result of my greed.
As the owner, I should have been more careful.
I shouldn’t have forgotten that Olivia is very sensitive to her body odor.
Still, worried about my safety, she said she would induce Olivia to blame herself for all of this, and she chose to become the villain herself.
Having seen Olivia up close, I knew better than anyone else how much power Olivia had, how violent she was, and how she handled the Chinese characters she recognized as her enemies.
Of course, how foolish it is to face a black dragon.
I don’t know how much Yeonhwa’s power is, but even if she had a power comparable to Olivia’s,
──It must have been impossible to return without a single wound.
In order not to harm me, she
You must be fighting desperately for me right now, but I was terrified by Olivia’s powerlessness and just trembled in her room.
It was a disqualification for the master of the familiar.
“After…”
So, what I need to do right now is not to be wrapped up in fear and hold back——
“…f*ck it, squirm and die or squirm.”
Sweep.
As he put on his extra coat, Dante muttered with a serious expression.
“I am your chosen master and master, endure with evil.”
──Attack with the enemy.
I don’t know, damn it.
If you search, you will search, and if you do not search, you will not search.
So who’s going to make a friend who can’t make friends at will?
Would you make me lonely with no one around?
It’s all your fault. Olivia.
It’s all your fault that I became like this.
……Strange, just looking at my lines, why do I look like a bad guy?
With a solemn expression like a soldier burning himself on the battlefield, Dante turned the doorknob and said to Nagi, who was leaning against the wall and staring blankly at the ceiling.
“I’m sorry, Nagiya, but I think I need to leave because there’s something I need to go to right now, but maybe I won’t be able to come back… So,”
From noble mtl dot com
Jinglang.
As he set down a pouch full of gold coins beside her, he pursed her lips with a serious expression.
“With this, I can find a small house, finish my life on the streets, and live warmly—”
“Shall I… Take you…?”
“……. Huh?”
Cutting off Dante’s words like that, Nagi muttered haam—with a small yawn.
“Do you want me to… Pick you up…?”
“……You?”
“Yes…”
“Where?”
“Where you want to go…”
“…Do you know where it is…?”
“Wherever… I’ll take you…”
She said languidly, nodding her head.
Then, unable to hide her embarrassment, Dante opened her eyes wide.
“…By the way, the means of transportation…?”
Nagi pointed at herself with her pale finger.
“…..You?”
“Yes..”
Dante opened his mouth.
What is this crazy tiger talking about?
You’re trying to run with me on your back…!?
“…Th-Nagiya, I’m very grateful for your kindness, but the Nibelest Empire I’m going to is on the opposite side of the Lesta Empire?
Nagi shook her head a little faster.
“It’s …. When she jumps on her two feet ….”
She said, pressing her palms to the bed.
“If I jump on all fours… I can get there in no time no matter how far away I am…”
“……What?”
He asked in a puzzled voice.
So, now he’s saying, uh, he’s going to go back to being a b*tch and… Pick me up and run on quadrupeds…?!
…..Is Tiger really crazy?
Dante waved his hand.
“Ah~ No matter how small I am, how can I get on the back of a small cat like you! I’ll take your heart, only my heart.”
“…….”
“So, are you really going?”
Tup.
“…..Nagiya?”
“…….”
Nagi grabbed Dante’s wrist as he was about to go outside, and took the lead with a slightly puzzled look on his face.
“Me, Nagiya? What’s wrong with me all of a sudden..?”
She took her steps without a word.
◇
The place where Nagi stopped was none other than the deserted beach near the inn.
Seeing Dante staring at her with a bewildered expression, she slowly put her hand on the bottom of her sandy beach.
“…Can I… Ask a question…?”
“Huh? What is it?”
Nagi said, bending her ears down slightly.
“Do you…Don’t…Hate…The tiger?”
“…No? You rather like it?”
I mean, you’re a tiger cub too, no way…You’re still maintaining the cat concept!?
Dante smiled wryly and pretended not to know.
“That’s cool, tiger. The stripes are really cool, the muscles are full, and the king of beasts is just stunning.”
“…I see…”
…Thank God.
“Rather than that, what are you trying to do now——”
Boom!!
“Cough! Cough!!”
Coughing at the white smoke rising all around him again, Dante waved his hands from side to side.
“Collock! So Nagi, you’re too small for me to ride——”
“[……Kreung.]”
“—How about…?”
….Kreung?
“…….Huh?”
Dante doubted his eyes.
“Huh?”
I rub my eyes hard with both hands, once, wipe my eyes with my sleeve, and look forward again.
“Huh…?”
Nevertheless, what is firmly reflected in his golden eyes is not a short, short-legged, cute cat with a chubby belly,
(Reliable)
A muscular giant with golden hair that could easily hit 3 vs 1000.
I looked down slowly. Such crazy, the size of the soles of my feet was the size of my body.
Instantly, Dante’s mouth opened spontaneously.
“….. Ha?”
Haa!!??
What the f*ck is this f*cking tiger?
Where has my big savage cat gone!
Looking down at him with sharp emerald eyes, Nagi spoke in a voice that was still languid and relaxed.
“[…I’ll take you…I’ll give you…]”
She chuckled, raised a huge thumb.
“[Shipping fee…Free…]”
“…..Thank you very much.”
Dante lowered his head and Nagi bit the nape of his neck in his mouth.
“[Instead of…]”
“Uh, wow!? Is there a substitute?”
Within a stroke, I threw it on my back.
“[Cause we don’t pay for damage…]”
…..Wait a minute.
“Broken?”
You said it was damaged, right?
“[Thunderbolt attack…]”
“!!? Yaya, f*ck wait! Wait a minuteㅁ—”
Pajijijik!!!
“[───Rapid(迅速)]”
In an instant, the blue lightning tiger shot forward and started running across the earth.
“aaa!!!!!!!!!!”
