chapter 39
39 – 39. Swamp (2)
“The dragon is too much! dragon is too much! naughty! stupid dragon!”
Nineve falls back on the floor and begins to whimper and cry in an inaudible voice.
Then, it wasn’t even the red dragon, Nineve who was crying with her head down, who was most troubled.
Most troubling now were the flies frantically flying around Nineveh, trying desperately to appease her.
“You, Nineveh! The red dragon is in trouble! Wake me up! huh!?”
“hehehehe! The dragon will be angry! We are all dead!”
“Ji, calm down! Come on, Nineve Duk! Let’s play hide and seek! huh? Come on.”
“Ah… I’m glad I saw the twinkling crystal before I died… I really missed it…”
“you idiot! Don’t give up already!”
The fairies, afraid of the terrifying red dragon, looked at me behind them and then saw Nineve sniffing again, trying to appease her.
However, Nineve is a troublemaker who won’t even move until the dragon is directly pacified no matter how much she is pacified. And behind Nineve, the Lord of the Mountains silently watches over the desperate fairies.
The voices of the fairies, who arbitrarily imagined a terrible future for them if they failed to appease Nineve, began to cry like Nineve.
And in the end, the fairies, unable to overcome the fear of death, burst into tears.
“hehehehe! We are all dead!”
“I will burn to death! You will burn to death! I don’t want to die!”
“bell! you idiot! We just wanted to play together!”
“hehehehe! Hee! Hee! hehehehe!… I’m speechless! hehehehe!”
“Nineve~ Please stop crying~ Argh!”
“Ah… I want to eat apples for my last supper… I will be really happy if I eat red ripe apples with honey…”
A group of fairies gathered above Nineve, who was lying on her stomach and her shoulders were shaking, crying loudly.
Regardless of the size of Nineveh, the size of a child, or Fairina, the size of a palm, she burst into tears and cried uncontrollably and noisily.
The fearsome dragon’s nest was filled with the cries of small girls that seemed out of place.
It’s crazy. I’m crazy
Whew.
I raise my heavy body and start moving.
As I began to slowly step towards Nineve, the fairies floating in the air could not overcome the fear of death and began to fall to the ground one by one.
Fighting.
The fear of just getting close to it made it unable to move its wings.
What I learned from observing the fairies so far is that the spirits of the fairies are as weak as those of a real junior.
And it seemed to weaken me even more, especially if it was a problem with me.
“f*ck, it’s over! It all ends here!”
“ouch! Butt hurts too! “aaah!”
“hehehehe!”
“hehehe!”
“Help me! Help me! We can appease Nineve! Please wait a little longer! Help me!”
Arrived.
The dragon’s steps are as big as its size.
Since it wasn’t even that far away in the first place, I was able to get to them in just two steps.
Beside Nineve, who was crying on her stomach, were the fairies whose wings flapped little by little, falling to the ground like moths that were electrocuted after running into a bright electric street lamp in the middle of the night.
“Shut up.”
“““ “Heegg!!!!””””
Do fairies all have the same screaming sound in common?
The fairies, who had all uttered the same death sentence as if they had been prearranged, covered their mouths with their hands and began to mute their voices.
Now the loudest thing inside the cave was Nynaeve, a silver-haired fairy who was sobbing and shaking her shoulders with her head on the floor.
Nynaeve must have noticed that I was approaching and looking down at her, and her cries began to get louder little by little.
Perhaps it means that he is very sad right now and needs me to comfort him quickly.
“Nineve.”
“Whisper, wheeze, the dragon has changed. “Sometimes they said Nineveh was the best… Ugh!”
“I never said anything like that. Hey.”
“hehehe!!”
After hearing my reply, the silver-haired fairy raised her voice louder and began to cry, perhaps as a sign of protest.
this child. really.
I took a deep breath, lowered my head slightly, and began to use a soft voice to soothe Nynaeve. It was not an appearance suitable for a fearsome red dragon, but it could not be helped.
“Ninaeve, snap. Now, if you don’t stop, I won’t let you play hide and seek. hurry. “Let’s play hide and seek.”
“Huh, huh. Black! I don’t like it… Nynaeve, don’t you want to play hide and seek… Isn’t Nynaeve annoying now? Nynaeve Then… I don’t want to do anything. “Do you want to just cry on the cold floor of the cave forever and die… Nynaeve, it’s time to die…”
The little fairy who was whimpering in a gloomy voice turned her head slightly, rubbed the area around her red eyes, and muttered quietly.
On my own, it seemed like a rather serious voice.
“…Nineve, sleeping on the floor of the cave…”
What is it? Playing drums and playing drums alone.
What is this?
Stunned, I asked again.
“What is the cause of death?”
“The dragon’s cold heart…”
What is he saying now.
I burst out laughing and lifted my front paw and tapped Nineve.
Of course, I used very careful control of my strength so that the delicate fairy would not be hurt by my strong strength.
Perhaps because the dragon’s body felt completely like my own now, it became easier to control these delicate forces.
“If you don’t wake up right away, I won’t let you play hide and seek. Will you be okay though?”
“No!… Nineveh, I want to play hide-and-seek… Dragon, that’s mean. A dragon of stupidity, a dragon of stupidity, a dragon of answering questions, a dragon that is like a fruit left for two days after taking a bite…”
Standing up holding my fingers tightly, Nineveh glared at me resentfully and murmured.
It seemed like he wanted to look terrifying, but because of his reddish eyes and dainty height and size, even if he glared at me, he just looked cute.
Besides, the swear words that don’t sound like the swear words you’re saying were cute when you listen closely.
“Hug me… that’s too much… Nineveh, I’m mad! I mean angry! joy!”
However, in the end, it was the little fairy who was brought first. Nineve, who has been snorting and stomping several times out of anger, opens her arms and hugs me.
The silver-haired fairy who had dug into the dragon’s chest was still grunting with a voice that tinged with tears, but held tightly in my arms.
“Before we play hide-and-seek, I want to ride a dragon raccoon… Riding on a Nineve dragon raccoon calms my mind. And I have to say goodnight to Nineveh before going to bed tonight. Understand?”
“okay okay.”
“And in a few days, before we go anywhere, we have to take Nineve with us. Understand?”
And as if I couldn’t win, Nineve, who was adding additional conditions one after another as if she had waited for this moment to accept all the requirements, heard something strange.
“huh? What do you mean?”
“Yong, where did you go the other day after leaving Nineve? Take Nineve with you this time. Without a dragon, Nineveh is lonely.”
Are you talking about the schedule to go to the swamp where the Meguls live?
In fact, I thought of leaving Nineve here a few days later and going for a day or so by myself. However, I was a little surprised when Nineve pointed out that idea right here and now.
How do you know this Lately, I think Nineve has become suspiciously clever.
As time goes by, will Nineve, the fool who first covered her eyes when playing hide-and-seek, grow up?
But anyway, it’s only been about a month. Come to think of it, I think this guy is a bit taller. Is it growing up?
“There are fairies. You don’t have to be without me for a day, can you?”
Even a child can do housekeeping for a day or so. Moreover, especially in a situation where there is no way that there would be people who were not afraid to break into the cave where the red dragon lives.
What idiot would come into my cave.
Unless you are a knight whose head is a flower garden and his old servant, you will not enter the fearsome dragon’s cave.
Nineve lifted her head, which was buried in my chest, and looked at me.
And unlike the clumsy way of speaking before, he declared with clear and accurate pronunciation.
“no. Where is the dragon leaving me? I really hate it. Nineveh will come too. take me away shall we go together. Fairies can’t replace dragons. Even if there are dozens or hundreds of you, I prefer dragons. Nineveh, I really like dragons. I will be with the dragon. I’ll curse you if you don’t take Nineve.”
Nineveh looked sincere.
… When did I learn a concept like a curse? Did the fairies teach me secretly?
I think I’ll have to leave Nineve aside later and give the fairies some mental education. Don’t teach Nynaeve anything strange. Nineveh, who is like my bright sun, is learning more and more strange things.
