I Became the Son of an Evil Dragon - I Became the Son of an Evil Dragon chapter 85
85 – Tail Slap (2)
“…You must be exhausted. Why don’t you sleep and keep squirming?”
Said Mr. Luterrier, who crawled into my bed without permission.
I opened my eyes to find something strangely warm,
What I was holding before I knew it was a wagging tail,
The arms that hugged me tightly were touching my back.
“It’s my bed, isn’t it?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s my bed.
I just gave it to you.”
“I didn’t mean to ask that way…”
“Is that so?”
When I get up from my seat, I get up too,
I smoothed out the pressed fur here and there and stared blankly at Mr. Luterrier, who was wagging his tail once again.
“Why?”
“…I’m not the only one who feels strange, right?”
“What?”
“No, that’s… “This situation right now?”
“Is that so?”
That face that just innocently asked questions seemed very awkward.
Am I feeling strange about this situation because I’m half asleep?
Or, is it strange that Ms. Luterrier naturally tried to sleep next to me even though she wasn’t even a ‘mother’?
I ran my hand through his messy hair,
Mr. Luterrier looked at me while yawning and smiled softly.
“Why do you want to sleep here – “
“Is it my bed?”
“…Then if I move it – “
“It’s inconvenient. Stay here.”
“No, that’s strange.”
“What?”
The smile on her face as the corners of her mouth her her her rose slightly …
The half-closed corners of her eyes were pointed upward sharply, like my mother’s, and she was glaring at me.
“We will be living together from now on.” Wouldn’t it be better to get used to it?”
“To other colleagues so far – “
“I won’t. Of course. Why would I?”
Lightly. Lightly.
The wagging tail she gradually slows down and wriggles again,
It soon covered my hand.
“We’ve already been sleeping together for a few days. Now you’re doing this?”
“Still… Something like this – “
“Eh, I also gave you a tail?”
There was truth in what that mouth, puffing out its cheeks, said.
…So far, the distance has narrowed a bit, and we even sleep together at an inn –
Even so, I didn’t even think that we would get this close right away.
As expected, I was a little reluctant about this.
Or am I being too overly cautious?
After what happened with mom?
“If you touch yourself as much as you want, that’s shameful.
Besides, who is willing to go on a life-threatening adventure?”
Mr. Luterrier pressed his hand on her nose and smiled brightly.
Then she slightly got up from her seat, stretched out her legs, and…
“Thanks to you, I woke up.
I came here to soothe my sensitive nose from already sneezing a lot.
Now that things have come to this, I think I should take a short walk.
Do you want to follow me?”
“…Were you always this kind of person?”
“Well, if you ask me if it’s like this, I don’t know how to answer.
Should I say that the tension has eased?
The hideout is safe. You won’t be able to find it for a while.
So, there are things like that.
So. Will you follow me?”
She shrugged and opened the door, leaning against it, her blue eyes shining at me in the dark.
The person who suddenly came to me in the middle of the night was Mr. Luterrier,
Why are you putting all the blame on me and then asking me to go out at night?
“…I’ll go. I’m already awake too.”
“Okay! Then wear this.”
What was thrown away with a flutter was a thin coat.
As I was adjusting it little by little and trying to put it on my body, what immediately caught my eye was the lamp sticking out.
“Let’s take this and go out.”
“…You don’t have to, oops. Magic doesn’t work.”
“There are places where they tell you to get used to that kind of thing.
From now on, you will have to get used to living with me, not with your mother.”
Even though I may not agree with everything that has been said so far,
From noble mtl dot net
At least I could nod my head at those words.
As I put on my coat in the slightly heated room, I felt my body getting warmer,
I headed out, following the slowly waving tail.
“Do you know that lying down in the grass feels better than you think?”
“I’ve never had anything like that, but… “
“Then we can try it today.”
What on earth am I doing, following behind him who is excitedly taking the lead?
Even though I shook my head at the sudden situation that I couldn’t follow, I had no choice but to follow it –
“It’s here. Wait a minute…”
Wagging its tail and moving its feet here and there in a vacant lot,
I saw them trying hard to chase away bugs.
The face reflected in her light seemed very eager, so I didn’t dare say anything.
“Okay, that’s it.
Leave the lamp there, come here and lie down quickly.”
How long did you see the grass around you bouncing like that?
I was dragged by that hand and was suddenly laid down on the floor.
“What are you trying to do…”
“When I come out at night, there’s only one thing to do.”
Slurp.
The blonde woman immediately laid down and placed her tail on my body.
She was dumbfounded, hugging it and staring at the scene unfolding before her eyes.
“The reason it’s located here is because it’s a remote place where other people won’t notice,
The night sky I happened to see while camping was really beautiful.”
A sky of stars that seem to be scattered.
There were so many sparkling dots in the black sky that they couldn’t even be compared to what I saw in the village.
“Ugh, it’s cold. I’ll stick around for a bit?”
Her body shivered in the chilly night air, but the coat she was wearing and her warm tail still protected her to some extent.
The clusters of stars that seem to be floating and the tails of shooting stars that occasionally fall are something that my mother never showed me.
The world that couldn’t be seen through the magic inside the cave was truly beautiful.
“What should we call that?”
Mr. Lutherie held her arm tightly and stretched out his hand, pointing somewhere in the sky.
But there wasn’t just one star in that direction.
“What are you talking about?”
“Hey. Can’t you see the constellation that looks like a dog sitting on it?”
“Star… Spot?”
“Have you ever lived without looking at the sky?”
The face that slowly came closer had wide-open eyes.
Come a little closer, put your arm next to my eyes, and gently hold my head with your other hand –
“Over there. There are three stars that look like tails,
Keep your body in a straight line –
…It’s really complicated when you try to put it into words.”
“What is it?”
Even though I laughed at the sight of her scratching her head while trying to explain something grandiosely,
Little by little, I imagined the image of a dog yawning with its butt on the floor.
…Still, it was still invisible.
“What? Do you think I just made it up?
Constellations are surprisingly important. It serves as a guidepost when finding your way.
Even if you’re far out on the ocean, you can find out your location using constellations and use that to find your home and port?”
“I never learned it.
When I was young, I was busy living, and my mother – “
“It’s a dragon. It knows a lot of incredible magic and wields it without hesitation.”
Is there really no need for constellations if there is magic?
But at the same time, for those without magic, wouldn’t the constellations be like a map?
As I thought that, my curiosity began to boil.
As if I had learned magic
“Teach me, then.”
“…You weren’t interested?
If you don’t like it, I was going to tell you a little about the adventures we went on.”
“That might be fun, but for adventure, the constellations are very important, so weren’t you trying to teach me?”
I flinched and my tail trembled.
And along with the tail, my body also trembled.
…I was suddenly caught by a raised hand.
“It’s cold. Can I stick around for a little while while I teach…?”
“If you didn’t come out, wouldn’t it have been cold?”
“Then it’s no fun. And,
I’m doing this to become friends.”
What is the relationship between becoming close and touching each other?
…But surprisingly, it didn’t feel all bad.
It was impossible for her to run away from her mother and push away Mr. Luterrier, who was trying to help her continue her adventure.
“Okay.”
“Hehe, then please touch the tail while you’re at it.”
Why do I keep getting more and more requests for something?
Still, touching the tail was something I liked to do.
“Then let’s begin? That thing over there…”
I suddenly remembered her mother’s request to stay away from women.
…However, that soon disappeared under Mr. Luterrier’s tail and explanations.
It was my mother who broke the rules first.
So, I didn’t think there would be any harm in being with Mr. Luterrier.

“…Are you really going to sleep here with me?”
“Didn’t we become friends?”
What on earth is this friendship that Mr. Luterrier talks about?
The real reason why we try to sleep together in the same bed.
However, if I asked about it, it was clear that Mr. Luterrier would just give it a vague answer, just like before.
“Shall I be honest?”
But, breaking my expectations, Mr. Luterrier took a step closer and opened his mouth.
It was completely different from what I expected.
“Yes.”
“It’s because I like it.”
…And this was a slightly surprising story.
“When I’m with you, it’s just… What should I say.
I feel like my worries are disappearing. It’s amazing.
Until now, I was worried that a demon would suddenly appear and seek revenge.
And now, when will the dragon come and tear me to pieces?
Or when will those humans come after me and tie us up tightly and take us away?
Those scary thoughts turn into nightmares and attack me?
But when you pet me,
If you hug me…
All the times I couldn’t fall asleep easily feel like lies.”
That story was a bit hard to believe for me, who always saw him sleeping,
At leastMr. Luterrier’s attitude seemed honest as he spoke without a trace of laughter.
A blue-eyed woman standing calmly in front of the bedroom door and asking me a favor as if she were asking me a favor.
“So, can you sleep in my bed with me?”
She doesn’t know how to accept her sudden confession…
At least the bed isn’t mine.
And the fact that Ms. Luterrier is blocking her door and wagging her her tail her her her …
It seemed like he was trying to refuse rejection.
