Chapter 52 [All I Need is Me](2)
Static.
Emerald eyes, fixed on one spot, stare at me.
Those eyes that have both calm and cool spirit, as neat as in a decimated forest.
I wanted to reply by saying that asking a sudden question is a matter of having a certain amount of basic knowledge to be curious about.
When I came to my senses, my whole body was already frozen so I didn’t dare to open my mouth.
I forgot.
I had completely forgotten about it.
Now, standing in front of her own eyes, the true identity of this woman is the king of beasts that ravages her prey.
That I was not in the position of being hunted, but in the position of hunting.
Is this how the mouse in front of the cat feels?
She doesn’t say anything and her eyes staring at her are burdensome.
To be honest, she seemed to choke to death.
Something, something that could change the topic… Ah.
Whoa, taking a deep breath and loosening up his rigid body, Dante nervously touched her fingers and carefully licked her lips.
“You know… Nagiya…”
Dante forced the corners of her mouth up.
“By any chance… How old are you this year…?”
Eh, why am I saying honorifics?
“……What?”
──It was the worst choice.
◇
“Ouch…..”
A corner of the library’s biological corner, especially in a secluded place.
Dante, squatting between her tall bookshelves, groaned and frowned at her.
It was because her wrist was bitten by a yellow cat.
The moment she finished speaking, she showed agitation that even I could clearly notice that she was normally expressionless.
‘That kind of thing…Recklessly asking…No…’
‘…!? Evil!’
, She replied bluntly, driving her razor-sharp fangs into my wrist.
No, if you have any questions, ask him.
Fortunately, he hurriedly covered his mouth with the palm of his hand to prevent any sound from escaping, otherwise people would have already come.
Above all, thanks to a damn black dragon, it now had some resistance to being bitten.
f*ck, thank you to the point of tears. Olivia!
…..Well, I said this, but it wasn’t really a very painful bite. Stinging level?
It was just that there were small drops of blood, and the skin was slightly red.
Moaning wasn’t painful, it was because I was surprised when I suddenly felt pain after being careless.
“──So don’t make that face. I’m really fine.”
Laughing bitterly, Dante patted Nagi on the shoulder, who was squatting next to him for some reason.
They didn’t expect blood to come out.
She It was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of She didn’t mean to hurt her, but since I was in pain, she seemed quite surprised.
Perhaps the evaluation of me has changed from ‘weak’ to ‘very weak’ by now.
“………Sorry…I do…”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize.”
“…But, I’m sorry…”
Nagi continues to hand over an apology even if Dante dissuades him.
Where did the previous momentum go, there was no strength in the voice.
I also felt uncomfortable watching her like that.
After all, if I hadn’t screamed, Nagi wouldn’t have noticed that I was hurt.
Dante scratched his cheek.
“Umm…. Then, can you do me a favor?”
According to my experience, at times like this, it was more effective to relieve the other party’s guilt by asking for a fair price rather than simply evasive words.
The so-called damage compensation.
Hearing her request, Nagi lifted her face from her lap and nodded slowly.
“If I can… I’ll do anything…”
Even if it means getting blood on your hands.
“Whatever you want.”
Embarrassed by Nagi’s too serious answer, Dante broke into a cold sweat and shook his hand excitedly.
“…Uh…It’s not like that at all, I just want you to touch my hair once—”
Suk.
Before Dante could finish his words, Nagi lowered her head and held her head out to him.
Since the difference in height between the two was so great, even when they were sitting down, Dante was about a head shorter than me, so she had to bend her upper body to reach Dante’s hand.
“…..Yes, thank you…”
My complex was unintentionally stimulated, so I cried from the inside, but I didn’t show it outwardly.
Because I had work to do now.
Dante carefully placed her hand over her head.
It may sound strange to say this, but honestly, she often thought about touching it at least once.
That’s right, because Nagi’s hair was very pretty.
Under the moonlight, golden hair that shines brilliantly under the sun.
It seemed very soft as it swayed with every step.
Hagisa It’s only natural that her hair was also very soft when she was in a jjamnyang state.
In addition, there were also questions.
Nagi’s hair is densely covered with bridges that look like black stripes. Is it only on the outside or is it engraved on the inside?
As a bonus, I want to pull out her soft ears that move non-stop.
Anyway, for one reason or another, if there was a chance, she wanted to ask for a favor.
Dante slowly moved her hand from side to side.
Sweep, write.
“….. Whoa.”
A small exclamation.
Dante’s eyes lit up.
From noble mtl dot com
It is soft.
It’s so soft.
It’s like touching a beast’s fur, though it’s a beast.
The hair that burrows between her fingers and scatters like a thin thread is tickling and pleasant.
The back of her hair is slightly brushed behind her neck, revealing a black striped bridge on the inside.
On top of that, he even has the sense of gently lowering his ears to make it easier to stroke.
There are so many calm and considerate tigers in the world.
It’s been a long time since I saw a normal(?) Person like this, after seeing only the black dragon, a child alone in heaven and earth.
How happy I am to have such a detailed consideration.
“That, it’s Nagiya. While touching it, you can only hear it once…”
“……Do whatever you want…”
“Okay.”
Wrap the black part with white spots with the palm of your hand and gently pull it.
It is elastic that it stretches all the way. It’s just very chewy.
The tiger’s ears are chewy.
Mom, are you watching? I’m touching the tiger’s ears right now..! It’s really something to live for and see… Hiya.
No matter what Dante said with his hair and ears, Nagi just stayed silent.
It was too obedient to be seen as a cat famous for being capricious and ferocious.
◇
─Thunder (雷虎).
It’s a phantom beast of lightning. Absolute ruler over all thunderbolts.
Lord of Thunder.
Legendary The tiger that makes lightning strike the dry sky and calls storms and thunderclouds.
According to the legend, the thunder tigers are in the west of the east, an unpromised realm that is inaccessible to humans as well as demons and other divine beasts.
It is said that they live on the vast land where thunderbolts and blizzards constantly blow.
There is only one rule,The best of the weak.
The thunder tiger who occupied the position of the leader dominates everything as the king of the land.
An indicator of the order of lightning is the color of lightning.
Most thunderbolts deal with golden lightning, the slightly better thunderbolts deal with purple lightning, and finally the boss thunderbolt, or the thunderbolt that has the qualifications to be the boss deals with blue lightning.
Especially, the thunderbolt of the leader thunderbolt boasts destructive power that can turn a prosperous empire into a sea of fire in a matter of seconds with just one lightning strike.
So much pride.
There are plenty of people who are fascinated by its lofty appearance and want to use it as their companion, but none have returned alive, let alone those who have succeeded.
So, foolish tamer who covets thunderbolts, head to the realm of thunderbolts Fools, please cherish your life.
There has never been anything like a thunder tiger bowing its head, riding it on its back, or letting it touch its fur since the birth of the continent in this worldNever since the birth of the continent, and there never will be again. .
─Part 1, opening story.
First of all, shouldn’t you have basic knowledge to ask you something you’re curious about? Dante was finally allowed to read the introduction of the book after persuading him to read a little bit.
No, I don’t know why I had to ask him for permission to even read a book in the first place, but I couldn’t run away with a book that just irritated my nerves.
That’s how I managed to get the book.
“………..Huh.”
Dante read the introduction quickly, quietly closed the cover, and commented.
Fishik, I involuntarily laughed out loud.
The author of this book is an idiot.
You bastard bastard!
