chapter 44
44 – EP.13 Babysitter -3
The body has grown, but the brain remains the same.
Tia’s appearance in her prime was daunting enough to make you drool, but her tone was still cute.
I wonder if someone noticed this strange thing, I looked at the people behind me.
Everyone was in a state of panic, trembling and panicking.
Some of them had already passed out, biting into crab foam.
There’s no problem, right?
“Tia, can you hear me?”
“Yes! I can hear!!”
I tilted her neck as far as I could so that I could barely see Yatia’s face, and I was worried that her voice would reach me.
Fortunately, my words seem to be conveyed well.
“The strategy I was talking about earlier! I think I need to change it. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, it’s okay!”
“Your body has grown so much more than I expected, so it seems impossible to play!”
“Hey… !! You’ve grown so big, can’t you run around and play to your heart’s content?”
“Sorry, but with that size, even just walking would cause a major disaster!!”
Even if Tia moves just one step, the people here, including myself, will be left with rats.
Are you making Tia run wild? The surrounding area will be devastated.
Wouldn’t a crater be created from the last meteorite impact?
“Then can I play when I get a little smaller?”
“It depends on the size, but if you reduce your body…… There is nothing wrong with it.”
“Then I’ll cut it down!”
Tia slowly shrinks her body.
As time passed, Tia’s body, which was taller than a mountain, had shrunk to the size of the mansion we live in.
“How is it? Can we run around now?”
“Ummm… well, yes It’s better.”
Still, it’s still big enough to easily knock down trees, so you need to be careful.
“God… monster!!”
“I have to run… !!”
“Do you think you can run away from that monster? Intercept! You idiots!!”
What? Can you see Tia?!
Anyway, as Tia grew into her prime, Miho’s hallucination abilities seemed to be released as well.
I thought I was shocked by the roar that shook the heavens and the earth…… !
I can see you… ! It’s my negligence!
“Tia! Hurry… !!”
“Kyahahahaha!! Tickle!”
The bullets rain down on Tia before she even tells her to hide.
But Tia’s body deflected all the bullets.
The dragon’s scales, which used to be soft, have become strong enough to lightly ignore bullets over the years.
To the point where you feel itchy, not even stinging.
I was worried for nothing….
“Kyahahahaha!! Me too! Me too! Eight!!”
A baby dragon who sees the current situation as a fun game.
A whole tree was picked up and thrown at the terrorists. Naturally, the terrorists stopped shooting and started running away in a hurry.
In the place where everyone evacuated, the tree Tia threw made a huge hole.
I came to think that if there were people down there, the body would have been crushed like tofu.
As if I wasn’t the only one who thought this, the terrorists were also half crazy looking through the hole.
“Hermy Shipper… !!”
“A lot this time!!”
While she was surprised, Tia pulled out a bunch of trees and was holding them in her arms.
Anyway, those things must have been planned to be thrown away.
Even a single tree has tremendous destructive power, but dozens of trees rain down from the sky at once?
It must be a disaster itself.
“T, Tia… ?”
“Why?”
“You know you have to stop halfway… ?”
“Yes! I know!!”
However, contrary to her answer, Tia scattered the trees all at once into the sky.
Trees rising high. As it falls, it falls on people like a bomb.
“hahahaha… !! This must be a dream… ! Definitely a dream… !!”
“Please save me! Please save me… !!”
“Ahhh… !!”
Those who had an intuition that they could never avoid it this time were denying reality in various ways.
If you think that the sky is filled with trees, it is quite reasonable.
That’s already like a bombing.
“Tee, Tia! Stop!”
“Yes!!”
Just before reaching the top of people’s heads, all the trees came to a standstill.
My liver is in a shrunken state after watching this, but what about the people involved?
Unsurprisingly, everyone passed out on the spot.
Seeing that all of them shed tears and were incontinent, it seems that they were convinced that they were dead.
Unfortunately…….
“Looks like it’s over.”
“Ugh… ? Is it over already?”
“Yes, thanks to Tia, everything ended well.”
“Really? So, did I do well?”
“Of course, you did the best!”
“Then yes! Hey! Pet me for saying I did a good job!!”
“Yes.”
Tia, delighted with being praised, pressed her face against me for her usual petting.
However, the current Tia is not a baby dragon, but an adult dragon.
I couldn’t pet him easily because his face was considerably bigger than me right now.
It is unknown whether he will be able to feel my touch no matter how he is stroked.
Instead of the reluctant strokes, I decided to use my whole body to hug Tia’s face.
I am worried that Tia will be satisfied with the size that could not hold the entire mouth even if I used the whole body.
But fortunately, maybe my hug was pleasant, and a smile escaped from Tia’s mouth.
“hehehe!! Yuu’s hug is warm… ! Good mood!!”
“Really? If so, I’m really glad.”
“Yes! So why don’t you keep hugging me? Understand?”
“Yes, okay!”
“hehehe!! I like Yuu…!!”
That’s how I got an epiphany.
I know that the dragon in front of me is still cute even though it has grown into a scary predator…….
The fact that my cute companion dragon, T-ara, will never change.

“Has that happened… ….”
“Yes… I have no face.”
“Hmm? Why are you losing your face?”
“In the end, the dragon, which was a top secret, was revealed to the public….”
I confided to the Director the facts about Jack’s existence, Yata’s story, and the Elixir of Awakening.
I even lied that the giant dragon was part of Tia’s abilities.
“Has anyone found out that you have a dragon as your pet?”
“Ah…… No!”
Jack’s face came to mind for a moment, but he wasn’t a light-mouthed guy, so I thought he was fine.
“I’m worried about the little term, but let’s get over it. Anyway, as long as the relationship between you and the dragon hasn’t been discovered, there’s no problem.”
“Why?”
“Suppose there is a natural disaster, such as a storm. People try to lessen the damage they will cause, not eliminate the storm itself.”
“In other words, divine waters are like natural disasters. Are you saying there is no problem?”
“Ah, besides, ice wolves have recently appeared in the North, so just because one more Shinsoo has appeared now doesn’t mean what will happen right away.”
“I’m glad then.”
“However, what would you think if there was a human who could handle the storm?”
“Aha.”
Completely understood. What the director wants to say.
If there is someone who can artificially cause a disaster, people will fight over that person.
Some say it should be thoroughly excluded, some say it should be accepted for everyone’s sake, and someone will siphon it away for personal gain.
It’s a story that doesn’t work for transcendent beings and divine beasts, but it’s different for humans.
Because they are beings with the same blood, they think that they can do anything.
In other words, people’s endless tricks and tricks roam around that person.
And that is what I am.
“From the look in your eyes, you must have understood my intentions.”
“Yes, the point is that I don’t have to reveal my identity to the public, right?”
“Yes, but don’t use the dragon’s power too recklessly. Doubts arise everywhere, anytime.”
“Sure… Yes.”
I also have no intention of relying solely on the strength of my companion animal.
Excessive use of the divine beasts’ power is to stimulate other divine beasts.
If it’s something I can handle on my own, I’ll solve it by myself.
Otherwise, at that time, we just need to borrow the power of divine beasts.
“Then it’s okay to go back now. You worked hard as a babysitter for the ugly guys.”
“Ah! Come to think of it, I have a question.”
“What? If it’s about compensation, it’s going to be paid normally, right?”
“It’s not that I doubt the reward, it’s that the goal of this mission was the wrathful answer…… Big! I have a question about the agents.”
“Which one?”
“What will happen to them in the future?”
I don’t go into detail about things related to the law.
However, the actions they showed seemed to be against the law even to me, who had no knowledge.
So, I wondered what kind of punishment they would receive for this incident.
“All three are guilty of neglect of duty, so of course they are expelled and imprisoned. No matter how understaffed the government is, such worthless agents must be ruthlessly kicked out.”
“I see…… ?”
“Are you not satisfied with the punishment with a cotton bat?”
“Oh no! Not really!”
“Don’t worry. This will be recorded in their resume and they will not be able to find a proper job in the future. There is no way to hire them unless there is really an urgent need.”
“Not being able to work…….”
“Eternal labor or unemployed life.”
“… That’s kind of scary, but what if you end up becoming a terrorist?”
“Even after their prison sentences are over, they are constantly monitored by the government. And if he turns into a terrorist…… ”
“If… ?”
The director makes a gun shape with his fingers and points it to his temple.
Leave your fingers back as if you were shooting a gun.
“Summary execution.”
Clear and strong coping methods.
The government told me it wasn’t just stupid.
Seeing the director showing such determination, I softened my mouth.
Even though he is an annoying boss, the country runs smoothly because of him.
“Now that all questions have been answered, I will stop and go back.”
“To repeat, you did a great job today, please rest in peace.”
“Yes.”
The first day I came to a government agency.
My evaluation of government agencies was not good.
It was because he tried to protect the person he should have protected under conditions.
I chose the government because I had a precious family and I hated the way terrorists did it.
Otherwise, I might have become a terrorist.
However, as time passed, I learned more about this group called the government, and there were many things I could see.
When I read the news of my family’s well-being, I realized that they were really treating them horribly.
Although there are some things that make me anxious, there are times when I feel relieved when I come into contact with the government people who help me when I need to.
As these factors piled up one by one, my perception of the government began to change little by little.
So today, my idea of government has changed completely.
I’m really glad I chose the government…….
“Ah! By the way, we have to take care of the site, so go to work normally tomorrow!”
“… ….”
I don’t think so.

“Shike~♪ Shikee~♪ Sweet and drinkable!!”
Tia hums a song while holding a plastic bottle of sikhye.
The effect of the elixir had disappeared and she was back in the form of a cute little girl.
“Kehoo~!”
Tia gulped down her sweet juice, making a cute belching sound just like when she drank her previous pills.
However, if there is a difference between then and now, her face is drooping, saying that she is very happy.
Is sikhye that good? It’s to the point of making my own song, so it’s natural.
Who do you prefer, me or Sikhye? If I ask you, would you say me?
I was curious, but I didn’t bother to ask.
If she hesitates even a little, or if she immediately responds with Sikhye, she won’t be able to live any longer.
It’s scary just imagining it, let’s just quietly look at cute Tiana and go home.
“I’m back… ….”
The time when darkness has already fallen.
When I thought that she had been working outside since morning until now, her body was not very tired.
I need a bed to accommodate my body.
With that in mind, I quickly opened the front door and entered the house. A fox greeted me.
“…… West? Are you quite late today?”
“Ah, that’s what…” !”
The moment you open your mouth to briefly talk about what happened today.
A sharp kitchen knife slices through the flesh of my ear and pierces the front door.
“Hiccup… !”
“You cheated inside the house yesterday, so are you outside the house this time?”
“Everything is different!! I worked properly today and came home from work now… !!”
Miho slowly approaches me and pushes me in front of the closed front door.
Her red eyes already harbored a bloody madness.
“Isn’t that a line often used by cheating husbands?”
“Oh no… !! Please trust me!!”
“Really… ?”
“Really!!”
“Then… ….”
– Drooling!
Miho, who has been close to me, grabs the handle of the kitchen knife stuck in the front door and cuts it down.
The cleaver coming towards my hand, which was clinging to the front door, came to a halt before it exactly touched my little finger.
“Hey!!”
“Can you swear on your little finger?”
It seems that the meaning of the little finger is different, but I can only nod my head fiercely.
Miho suddenly embraces me, gently puts his nose on the nape of my neck and starts to smell it.
“The smell of 100% pure Seobangnim… ♡ No problem….”
“Hiccup… !!”
Next she stuck out her tongue and tasted a trickle of cold sweat running down her cheek.
“This taste… It certainly doesn’t taste like lying.”
“Jin… ! Because it’s real… !”
“I’m sorry for doubting you. But you probably don’t know why I’m doing this… ?”
“…….”
-Fast Deuk!!
The sound of the knife handle fraying due to Miho’s grip.
My legs begin to shake and run out of strength from the horror the sound evokes.
I tried to hold on with all my might, but in the end I collapsed into place.
Furthermore, urinary incontinence appears and I feel like I’m about to pass out…….
Luckily, a rumbling sound came from Tia’s belly and the worst was averted.
“Miho unnie, I am hungry… !”
“Hmm? Haven’t you eaten yet?”
“Ugh….”
“Then come in quickly. Because the food is all prepared.”
“Really?”
“Sure. I made potato pancakes with delicious potatoes on the market.”
“Potato sauce~?”
“If you eat it with Tia’s favorite sikhye, it’s a delicious dish.”
“Ohh!! I eat potato pancakes quickly and sipper!!”
“Whoops, should I wash my hands first?”
“Yes!!”
“Wait a minute, Tia… !!”
However, my only hope has already been tempted by the fox and left for the bathroom.
Only the two of us remained in front of this front door, the fox.
“…… West.”
“Hiccup… !”
A short but powerful word.
Miho, who made me tremble with just one word, naturally pulled out the cleaver next to me.
“For Seo-Bang-nim, I prepared something that is good for stamina called Gul-jeon… ….”
Miho bizarrely licks off my blood that is smeared on the kitchen knife.
She smiles lustfully, dyeing her lips red with blood as if she had applied rouge.
“Tonight, I’ll be looking forward to it… ♡”
Is there someone who has to take care of servile agents in the morning, an adult dragon during the day, and a nine-tailed fox in heat at night?
“Ha ha ha… ha ha ha… !!”
Help me.
