Chapter 45 [We don’t bite tigers](1)
From noble mtl dot com
“Destroy it.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Destroy it.”
“I hate it.”
“Destroy it!?”
“Oh well, I don’t like it?!”
“Hey!! Are you really going to do this!?”
The black dragon’s shallow patience eventually exploded because it couldn’t stand it at the end of a tense nervous warfare that didn’t even back down.
Olivia gnashed her teeth as she violently grabbed Dante by the collar.
“Why do you have such a long tongue when you’re a slave to a man! If the owner is angry, you’ll have to talk back bluntly!!”
“To be honest, it’s amazing that I’ve made this much concession to my personality! Isn’t it a miracle that I’m not doing anything right now!!?”
A cry from the soul that somehow makes you feel sad.
Olivia said, frowning her fine brow.
“I really don’t say no to you if I can, but this is really not true. Even if the sky collapses, I can’t. I will never allow it.”
There is only one thing you want.
She growled and muttered.
“──Cancellation of the Familiar contract.”
Facing the red eyes that glowed menacingly as if they were about to be eaten at any moment, Dante quietly pursed his lips.
“—I don’t like it.”
If you twist it, you go out and search.
A resolute tone, like a well-honed knife.
Golden eyes with a strong will to never give up on one’s will.
“Whoa…”
As she ran a hand over her forehead, Olivia sighed in frustration.
f*ck mother, how come nothing has changed since before?
Some people call this kind of déjà vu.
A meaningless conversation of parallel lines that lasted for an hour.
Taking care of Yeon-hwa, who would have been exhausted today in many ways, Dante, who returned her to his world of images by assimilating her soul, had a one-on-one argument with Olivia. Was unfolding
Olivia rages to terminate her contract with Yeon-hwa, and Dante rages that he must not die.
It was natural.
From Olivia’s point of view, a b*tch like a b*tch who came from somewhere rolling around suddenly jumps out and tries to take the seat next to my man, but it’s rather abnormal to leave it alone,
From Dante’s point of view, I have to say something sensible about banishing Olivia’s first friend and precious familiar, Yeon-hwa, from her side just because Olivia ‘hates’ her.
The continuation of the horizontal conversation, where they couldn’t reach an agreement, not only hurt their feelings, but the two were getting more and more mentally exhausted.
In order to find an agreement somehow, someone has to take a step back.
However, since both Olivia and Dante had one-tempered personalities, it seemed that they would not easily defeat each other’s arguments.
But originally, the person you love more loses, and the person you love more loses.
Even though she knew that love was such a f*cking thing, love was something she couldn’t give up on her own.
In the end, Olivia had no choice but to raise the white flag at Dante’s stubborn attitude, which did not seem to bend her will.
As it used to be.
“…Okay. Got it.”
f*ck, I lifted both my hands and feet because of you.
I hate to admit it, but I have to acknowledge the irrationality of reality.
Muttering in an almost resigned voice, she contorted her face.
“I’m not going to argue about this anymore, so stop staring at me. You bastard will get your face pierced.”
“……Really?”
Oh, it’s strange, there’s no way this narrow-minded black dragon would back down so easily.
Dante opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked in a suspicious voice.
“Instead of that.”
Yes, that’s right.
I’m an idiot for expecting it.
Olivia twitched the corners of her mouth as she placed her finger on Dante’s lips, who laughed incredulously.
A declaration like thunder from the blue sky.
“Promise that you will do the same to me as you do to that fox from now on.”
“…… Huh?”
“Everything is the same, without exception.”
“Yes!? What nonsense…!!?”
“If you twist it, the contract will be canceled.”
She rubbed her ear with her little finger, answering in her deadpan tone.
Hey…! What the hell are you up to, you damn lizard.
What do you mean do the same thing!?
No, I’m doing something unusual–
‘Hey, I’m going to change the tail hair of a nine-tailed fox…!!’
‘In the first place, it’s common in the world to communicate with the master and his familiar through physical contact like this!?’
Ah.
Awesome.
Dante bit his lip.
That’s what you meant.
…It’s like this cunning black dragon.
Yes.
Olivia put forward a kind of absolute defense.
If she puts a restriction on herself to do the same, Dante will naturally widen his distance from Yeon-hwa, whether he likes it or not.
Because approach, conversation, and all of them have no choice but to act cautiously.
If you even do skinship, you’ll be caught right away.
The best insurance policy that completely cuts off mutual relationships.
In other words, it meant that he would indirectly monitor his every move.
In my mind, I want to go on a rampage, saying that I’m crazy, that it’s an invasion of privacy, but…
However, Dante realized that this was the last line she could concede to, so in the end he had no choice but to cry and eat mustard as she nodded.
Because if you refuse here, you won’t be able to eat or porridge.
“Okay… I promise you…”
“Okay, shall we write the oath (Geis) right away?”
A law that enforces binding contracts.
The oath was a type of scroll magic that enforced a mutual contract.
Of course, as much as the dragon casts, its force is indescribable.
Perfect!
Olivia lightly snapped her fingers.
Flame!
What appeared along with the black flame burning in her hand was none other than gray parchment.
The letters glittering in gold were neatly arranged in rows.
Olivia said as she stretched out her hand against her not holding the parchment.
“Give me your hand.”
“Left hand or right hand?”
“Anything.”
Hesitantly, Dante placed his left hand carefully on top of Olivia’s palm.
“Crazy kid.”
Cook.
“Ouch.”
Dante groans softly.
It was because Olivia had stabbed his thumb with the tip of her sharp fingernail.
Her Bone Bone Dante’s blood-soaked thumb rubbed the parchment, she pursed her lips slightly.
“[Oratio]”
Paaah!
Parchment that becomes particles of bright light and scatters into the air.
Soon disappears without a trace.
“Now, the contract is over. If you break this oath, coercion will be triggered immediately, so you’d better not do anything stupid.”
“…That, Olivia-sama. What exactly is coercion…?”
The black dragon smiled.
“Limb dismemberment.”
“Isn’t that too specific!!?”
Why do you say such scary words with such a bright expression!?
Rather than that, dismemberment, I’d rather kill!
What the hell are you doing with a man without limbs, you crazy psychopathic dragon!?
Dante, who was crying, felt his stomach ache again.
Then I looked out the window,
“…He leaked me again.”
After a particularly long cold night, the morning sun was rising.
◇
The sun has risen means that a day has passed.
Surprisingly, all of this happened in just one night.
Am I…Alive…?
“……Huh.”
Fluffy!
It was only then that the tension in his whole body seemed to be relieved, and as he fell headfirst onto the bed, Dante began to change into a limp like a half-melted ice snack in summer.
Really.
It was a really tough day…
Things that were too much for Dante, who was physically and mentally very weak as a demon, to handle.

However, in the end, he managed to somehow stop the bloodshed that spilled out with evil.
I completed a quest of crazy lunatic difficulty with only one gut, so this is not an achievement enough to say that a warrior should go away.
Would it be this hard to keep up with daily life?
Destroy me, the past me.
I voluntarily joined a black company just because I was crazy!
─This is your peaceful life.
What the f*ck, give it back. My peace.
“Huh…”
Dante poked Olivia’s wrist with his finger while moaning from muscle pain all over the body that had come as a reaction to the overexertion of his body all night.
“Why man.”
“I was so distracted that I couldn’t tell you right away at first…”
He spoke in a slow tone.
“—Thank you, Miss Olivia.”
“…What?”
“You protected me.”
I only found out after listening to Yeon-hwa about everything.
In the first place, why did Olivia leave me and go to the Nibelest Empire?
Isn’t it because the headquarters of the guild that the Assassin that came after me belongs to is located in the Nibelest Empire?
Even if I lost my player to Yeonhwa, I wouldn’t do such a hard job for my own safety.
How can I not thank her for putting her blood on her hands instead.
Of course, from her point of view as a dragon, killing only a few tens or hundreds of people would not be a big deal, but Dante, who had never harmed a person, let alone fight, felt different.
“And… I’m sorry.”
“…What else this time.”
Because of his sincere, heartfelt guilt, in the form of ‘I made her commit her murder’, for not wanting to hurt people.
Dante laughed bitterly as he calmly grabbed Olivia’s thin, white fingers.
“For getting my hands stained with blood.”
Originally, the blood should have been on my hands.
“…What else am I saying?”
Laughing, Olivia ran the tip of her tail across Dante’s back.
“Don’t apologize. It’s not like you should even hear a thank you, let alone an apology. That’s something.”
She said playfully, raising the corner of her mouth with a smirk.
“Isn’t it natural for a dragon to guard its possessions?”
….Possession?
“Why do I belong to you! Everyone says I’m mine, mine!!”
“You want to bungee jump without a rope?”
“The seed belongs to the owner. Herm.”
Do you have any?
Sseuk, sseuk.
Meanwhile, Dante, who buried her face in the sheet like a kitten burrowing into its mother’s arms, suddenly stopped moving.
For some reason, the feeling of forgetting something important came over me.
Well, it was very important.
…..What was it?
…….
…………
“Oh.”
Sweetie!!?
◇
Lesta Empire, West Port.
Sticky, slick.
With the sound of something full of water hitting the ground, a gigantic four-legged beast starts stepping out from the emerald-colored sea onto the sandy beach.
With each step taken, water droplets dripped from the shiny, golden hair that covered his entire body.
Yes.
That was a criminal.
The tiger was too beautiful to be called a beast.
Ignoring the cold sea breeze, the golden beast came up to the beach and quietly lifted its head.
“[…….I, Advent…]”
The tiger’s return is not over yet.
◇
(+Next episode notice)
Finally, the three heroines are together…!
Really…Dante’s choice(?)?
