"Eh? no no you are very no different from the dragon" I said moving my palms
"LT…?" he murmured while tilting his head.
Groah...?
"Wait, are you serious?!"
"Yes, unfortunately that's how it is" he answered staring up as he placed the tip of his index finger on his cheek.
Once confused by the words Shea said about her race I then shook my head while moving my hand in disbelief with her words just now because it was clearly visible physically very different from the dragon monster, but when I denied it he tilted his head, as did the earth dragon beside him who continued to imitate his movements, and it made me retract my words while asking to make sure that Shea was not playing around and it was a pity that Shea was not lying about her race.
"You must be double?" sam asked, doubting Shea's words.
"I'm not lying…! hahh...if I could, I would definitely show it to you guys, but for now I can't do anything" she replied slightly sighing as she flicked the chain around her neck.
"Ugh... My fingers are hot" Shea said softly as she sucked her index finger.
And still with the question of doubt Shea said, Sam also asked her with an expression of disbelief, hearing the same question for the second time coupled with a lot of expressions that seemed to doubt her words, made Shea scream a little before she finally sighed at not being able to show us anything and I was quite confused by what she meant, Shea also touched the chain around her neck as an excuse for not being able to do something, and somehow Shea then sucks her index finger which she just used to touch the chain as if her finger had just been hit by something hot.
"So, does anyone still want to ask?" shea asked us.
"What about that dragon beside you, why are you able to control that powerful and dangerous monster?" ask Kaov to her.
"Eh?!" i'm surprised.
"Woi since when did you realize?" ask Sam.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I've realized from earlier it's just that you guys are too serious to follow the conversation" he said.
"Forget it" said Sam, turning his face away. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•
Please allow us to ask Shea again sitting cross-legged while pressing her skirt with both hands with her sweet smile waiting for the question we said, and suddenly Kaov made a voice and asked a question to him which immediately made me even my other colleagues surprised, because as I remember Kaov was still unconscious and unconscious, but it turns out he's been conscious for a long time and has even listened to our conversations, and the reason we don't realize his whereabouts is because we're too focused on Shea than he is on our corner.
"So, how do you explain it, miss?" kaov asked Shea again.
"I'm also confused as to why he could be like this, when the dragons used to look dislike me" Shea replied staring at his dragon.
"Don't like it? what do you mean Shea?" ask her.
"Yes, you could say that I had committed a crime against them, which is why I had this chain around my neck" he explained to me.
"What kind of crime are you committing?" ask Jaz to her.
"Yes, I used to feel threatened with them, because they seemed to want to kill me. So, I fought back and killed every dragon I met, until finally a few days ago someone came to me and punished me for my actions, and this chain was there to restrict my movements" he explained with a gloomy-looking smile.
.
.
Her neck flushed?
"Hm... this chain... akhh!!" I screamed holding the chain around Shea's neck.
"Pardon me! are you okay?! let me treat!" shea looks panicked.
"It really hurts really, really hurts, even more so every time I use my magic the pain is always increasing, but I'm like this because of my own actions… and I can't complain for this" Shea replied with a sad-looking face.
Asking Shea to explain about the dragon beside her Kaov's face looked very serious with a gaze that led to Shea without blinking a single bit, and slowly Shea then explained to us while looking in wonder at Noel who did not show his face, but Shea also seemed confused by the attitude of the earth dragon, he also said that the attitude of the dragon was opposite to the dragon he had met who tended to hate him and of course this oddity was very confusing and asked him again, but still I can't even digest this talk because how it's possible to kill monsters is considered a criminal act and even more astonishing the real sanctions Shea really gets.
Shrouded by tension and astonishment Jaz finally asked Shea, but even though we got the answer we were all so dumbfounded that we could not even speak with cold sweat that started coming out of our skin when we heard Shea say, even a glimpse of my fear came back out and saw Shea like a threat because there was no way anyone could kill so many dragons, but something that even surprised me was that when Shea told me about the arrival of someone who punished her and anyone who could do that to Shea was definitely not a figure to be taken lightly, he must be a monster that has a destructive power beyond reason.
Finished telling all that Shea's face looked pale with some sweat on her face that kept popping up, seeing the strange thing I then observed Shea's body which was also sweating wet her white dress and right around her neck which was wrapped in chains, shea's skin looks flushed like she's on fire even Shea continues to take a rough and heavy breath, slowly I point my hand at her and then touch her chain, but just a little bit I touched the chain the burning sensation made me pull my hand back and it made Shea look panicked and wanted to treat my hand, but I kept holding my hand and didn't let Shea treat her because my burns weren't worth what she felt, Shea looks very tormented with the chain even so she still looks optimistic with no want to complain even though she suffers a lot.
"You're so strong, Shea, you can endure that much pain" I told her.
"No, I'm not strong. I can hold it, but I. I. can do that because.. it's still light enough to hold.." Shea said with disjointed speech.
"Hm?"
"No no, it's nothing hehe" he said again with a small laugh shaking his head.
Smiling with a sad feeling at Shea I was so amazed at her because she was able to survive the pain that even I could not imagine if it happened to me, looking sad with a gloomy face Shea suddenly stopped her speech then smiled and seemed to think a little for a moment before finally continuing her speech, and it felt very confusing.
"Sorry to interrupt your sad story, if you're a criminal convicted of killing dragons, why don't you kill us when we're gnawing at your dragon? aren't you the one to blame for not helping him if he gets killed" Kroz asked Shea.
"Croz! stop that!" say him.
"You know. My life used to be too bleak, I know what pain feels like. So, I can't hurt anyone else unless I have enough reason to do it…" he said slowly while smiling a little.
"… I chose to protect you from this dragon because I'm sure you're the ones who will be killed if I don't stop it, even though you feel able to deal with the dragon is still an unexpected monster" shea looked at her dragon.
Still confused by Shea's behavior, Kroz suddenly asked her with an unchanging gaze, he still seemed suspicious of Shea and I immediately snapped at her because the question sounded quite offensive to Shea, and with a faint smile looking up at the bright blue sky Shea again said her reason which sounded like a painful experience.
"I have a purpose to live for that is why I was given the opportunity to breathe the fresh air of this world, I would like to have many friends and companions, who would make me talk this much? I'm so happy to see you guys" he said with a smile.
Kriuk...
"Hm…?"
"Don't look at me!" noel said, clutching his face in my stomach.
"Well, this cowardly child is starting to starve" I told him.
"Haha! I thought there was another dragon roaring, but it was in his belly" Sam mocked Noel.
"It's because it's wrong you know!! you guys keep putting off breakfast because you want to get to this river! but we're fighting the dragon…"
Groaches...
"Well!!! don't come any closer!!" noel shouted.
"Hehehe.. hahaha.. ah sorry sorry... hahh.. then I will help prepare the food" Shea said with a laugh.
Being in a heartwarming situation from our conversation all of a sudden it all broke into a silly atmosphere because of Noel's hungry stomach that roared for rations, he said, his face hiding in my stomach was reddened even more so when Sam started mocking him his face was completely red to the tip of his ear, and despite being annoyed with Sam's attitude Noel still did not dare to look at him because there was a dragon face right behind him with a breath that blows through Noel's head.
And I was quite surprised when I heard Shea's loud laughter even though she was holding her back, she said, because he always told me about something stressful and sad I never knew he could laugh like that, satisfied with her laughter Shea then sighed and offered to help prepare our meal.
