CH 39

Episode 39: Death Reaper

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

This time, it felt a little different from before, but like a cat and a beast, he was staring at Isaac in a position where his ears were tilted back a little bit. The blue scales that covered the huge body fluttered and crashed to each other.

From the looks of it, the dragon seemed to dislike Isaac more than anyone else. Well, that’s true, he’s a bit hateful.

My husband, who was staring at me like a stone, slowly turned his eyes and faced the dragon. I suddenly got goosebumps when I saw it.

Wait, that bastard must be over-excited right now? It’s like he is on the drug he once told me……….

“L-Lord!”

“Kraaaaaaa!”

The dragon opened its black mouth again. Ice crystals fluttered and clung to my wet eyes. The cold air from the dragon and the shield from the holy sword collided, causing the refracted cold air storm to soar into the air.

The innocent birds that passed by were frozen there and fell down.

“Hey, that obese lizard cub…….”

“What are you talking about, you bastards!”

It was hard to look ahead, my eyes were ringing painfully, and my teeth were crackling because of the cold.

As the relentless collision continued, the translucent shield’s membrane slowly began to crack.

The dragon, who took a few steps back while catching it’s breath, resumed the ice attack and at the same time Isaac drew his sword roughly stuck in the ground.

Guys, what kind of Elsa vs Dragon Slayer version is this?!

“Stop it!”

A scream came out. It was a sound I uttered without realizing it.

The cold storm that was about to bring the Winter Kingdom to this place suddenly stopped.

This was followed by an awkward silence that was difficult to express in words.

I barely got up on my feet, panting.

Before I realised, the dragon was looking at me with it’s mouth open.

Bright golden eyes gleamed with strange light.

Isaac was also gazing at me with his bizarre, gleaming eyes.

Do they even recognize me?

“Grrr……”

“You…”

Hey, hey, hold on a second. I hope these two haven’t changed their target to me now…….

“What was that just now?”

“What happened, what the hell?”

There was a commotion in the back.

Confused and suspicious voices pierced my ears.

As soon as I faltered and stepped away, my husband, who was glaring at me with the momentum to run at me at any moment, suddenly looked back.

The commotion came to a halt. And…

“…………Argh!”

Thump!

The ground seemed to shake once again, and my body was lifted up into the air.

The nasty dragon suddenly snatched me, grabbed me in it’s claws, and then flew up vigorously.

Hey, you bastard!

“M-Ma’am!”

“Po, po!”

Cleverly, Popo, who had been chasing after me while being held on to the griffin’s claw as if it was a chicken, clung to the dragon’s tail with all its might.

Griffin, who became dangling like a raw chicken, snapped it’s beak dissatisfied, but there seemed to be no other way.

“Kraaaaaaaa!”

It’s high. It’s too high…….

My head was spinning, but after a while, a blackout came.

* * *

Crackling. Crackling.

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying leaning against a pile of swaying scales.

My head was heavy.

As I shifted my gaze helplessly, I could see the beautiful northern sky colored by the sunset.

Where am I?

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

What the hell is this noise?

I tilted my heavy head to the side. A feast of the deep blue scales….

“Gasp…..!”

As I jumped up to my feet, the dragon, who was ruthlessly eating the dead mammoth[1], glanced at me.

It’s eyes looked as if they are resentful.

Tuk, thud. A huge tail wagged and struck the white ground.

The snow splashed in all directions, causing the floor to vibrate.

Mother Earth, forgive the sinful child……. But when did it snow?

“Grrrrrrrrrr….”

“D-Don’t mind me and keep eating.”

Crunch.

It kept staring at me while chewing the ribs ferociously.

It was a very burdensome gaze, so I looked elsewhere with my hand on my heavy head.

I could see Griffin curled up with it’s legs folded on one side.

With it’s eyes closed, Griffin nodded it’s head as if it was dozing off.

Oh, thank God……. But where’s Popo?

I staggered up.

It was white all over. No matter how much this country is located in the North, it’s a strange phenomenon that it snows this much in this season.

My feet were cold. I looked down suddenly and my feet were in a mess.

Well, I deserved it after walking around barefoot for a few days. It doesn’t look like a lady’s foot at all. It’s not like the feet of a civilized person……sniff

After all, what’s going to happen from now on? Will Romagna contact them? Or is Britannia trying to figure it out on its own?

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrr..…”

As I staggered, the nasty dragon cub growled again.

Griffin looked at me with a nod of its head.

When I looked closely, Griffin didn’t doze off, but it didn’t seem to be able to properly control it’s head properly.

“Are you okay?”

“Pureung…..”

“Sorry, that was a idiotic question.”

It can’t be okay if it’s properly hit by a sword-like icicle.

Phew, what should I do when a monster is injured?

Besides, why can’t I see Popo? Did it go to get something to eat?

“Where’s Popo?”

Griffin nodded to one side when I asked carefully.

In the direction the twitching beak pointed, a lush greenery and a small pond could be seen. It was meant to go there.

I hesitated for a moment and looked back at the dragon.

The dragon was still glancing at me whilenibbling the flesh.

In spite of the terrible scenery, it was funny that suddenly, pity arose.

You’re trying to make ends meet too. Yes, what’s wrong with you here?

I was the one who woke up the dragon who was hibernating in it’s treasure trove in the first place.

I was chased by a group of Durahans, and I happened to get in, but…….

If I hadn’t met Popo, Griffin wouldn’t have been hurt like this if it hadn’t come here together.

I scrambled to the side of the pond that looked so low.

I could feel the dragon staring from behind. I was within it’s field of view anyway.

“Popo?”

Fortunately, Popo was there.

As I approached the pond through the bushes, Popo, which seemed to be lying flat on the floor and picking up something hard, sprang up.

Popo, you’re safe!

“Po, po, po!”

“Are you okay? What are you doing?”

“Po, po, po.”

Popo flapped one arm and pointed under it’s feet.

Among the frozen white weeds, there were beautiful glowing purple mushrooms were blooming.

What’s this? Is it a medicine for the monsters?

“Is this edible?”

“Po.”

“To give Griffin?”

“Po.”

I see. Can it recover quickly if it eats this?

I squatted next to Popo and started picking mushrooms together.

I don’t know if it really works, but if Popo is doing this, there must be something.

I also wanted to repay the kindness as these guys looked after me the whole time I stayed here.

I can’t tell what will happen in the future, but…….

We were so absorbed in picking fluorescent mushrooms.

My skirt was full of mushrooms.

I was about to get up at last and return to Griffin and the dragon cub.

Thud!

Something protruding from the dense sea of ​​water fell at my feet and rolled over.

Popo jumped up.

“Ugh!”

Goosebumps rosed at the nape of my neck. It was none other than the head of a halved basilisk[2]!

The basilisk, which had been bouncing and struggling for the last time with just the head left, gradually crumbled like dust, leaving only a black magic stone on the spot.

What the hell is this…

Popo opened it’s fearsome mouth, and at the same time brilliant spark flashed.

Popo bounced off.

“P-Popo!”

“Is this where you hide?”

Oh, God, please.

The death reaper would be no different than him. A shiver of goosebumps ran down his spine.

Isaac, who approached through the fallen trees irritably, looked right at me while breathing heavily.

As if his rationality had completely gone, his pupils were wide open and his eyes gleaming with madness were poised to look like a hungry monster.

Roughly worn voice also feels as strange and dangerous as eyes.

My heart beat violently and my body trembled.

My husband, who was in a state of over-excitement, must have judged me as a witch in cahoots with the demons.

I don’t think it would be strange at all if he strikes me with his holy sword and tears me into pieces at once.

“Kraaaaaa!”

Fortunately or unfortunately, the dragon responded immediately.

Our character wrecked dragon came running straight, roaring savagely.

I didn’t expect that man to feel scared.

Isaac, who silently looked back at the dragon, smiled.

Literally, it was a murderous smile that made me shudder.

“Your voice is gone already. It’s natural that you’ve just woken up and jumped like that.”

“Grrrrrrrrr….,!”

“Did you learn from a human to come out as a counterintuitive and kidnap someone else’s wife?”

“Kraaaaaa!”

What the hell are you talking about? He’s out of his mind! He’s drunk on the crazy adrenaline and he’s convinced he can just take down the dragon!

Then I thought. My husband was the hero of this world. As the main character, it was not unreasonable to show such reckless, no, crazy confidence.

Maybe he’ll kill the dragon with a ridiculous buff and become the famous Dragon Slayer.….

The dragon had the momentum to spit out the cold of anger right away, but for some reason he was holding his snort.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, my husband raised his sword. Oh my god!

“If you don’t give her to me, I can’t help it…….”

“Don’t!”

Thump!

A fluorescent mushroom thrown out without realizing it flew off and hit Isaac’s forehead.
