I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 144: Sit

"Let's see I got a big fish, hehehe…"

"Oh! it was huge, Shea" Toki told me.

"Hehe... But Toki, what's wrong with him?" I asked him while looking in wonder at Noel who was hiding behind a tree.

"Y-yeah, he might still be afraid of the dragon" Toki replied as he prepared a pot and water.

"I hope he doesn't faint" I told him. ("______)

Out of the river I immediately went to bring my fish catches towards Toki who was preparing the cooking utensils, he looked surprised when he saw the fish as big as my thigh, it was, unlike the case with Noel who looks very trembling while leaning on a tree because there is an earth dragon who continues to look at him from behind a tree, likewise with the earth dragon who seemed curious about Noel hiding, the two of them were like playing hide and seek.

"I also wish it was like that, but Shea is that dragon really safe?" ask Toki to me.

"Um. as long as he doesn't feel threatened maybe the dragon will still calm down" I replied to him.

"It's good that he has no problem being left behind" he said again.

"Yes no need to worry, as long as I'm here he'll stay tame, maybe." ("______)

Talking about the earth dragon who was catching Noel behind the tree, the behavior of the two of them was very adorable even though in fact Noel was scared to death by the existence of the dragon, even Toki seemed to still doubt the safety of the dragon, however, although I am not sure one hundred percent I still assure that the cute dragon will remain tame when faced with me at least that is the conclusion I can draw from his behavior.

"Yosh…! I will clean this fish" I said as I held up the big fish in my hand.

"Sorry to trouble you Shea" Toki told me.

"It doesn't matter, it's my fish anyway" I said with a smile.

…

"Um... turned out he had a big bag, but luckily I didn't burn the forest there he hehe" I said as I stared at Toki who was picking up a big bag from the forest bushes.

Pamit went to the riverbank to clean and cut up my big fish, Toki seemed to feel bad for me because I always did work for them, but I don't mind doing it because I love helping others and also because I eat with them, staying quiet and enjoying food without helping a bit will make me feel uncomfortable anyway I catch fish it means I will also clean it, and again Toki was also seen busy making a fire stove and preparing food spices from his backpack which he had previously picked up from within the bushes not far from the forest area that I burned.

"Hahh, forget it, it's time to cut" I said, turning my bracelet into a sword.

"Alright let's start hehehe" I said as I raised my sword.

.

.

"Hm..this is more than I thought, yahh.it doesn't matter I can burn the rest."

Putting my fish on a boulder beside the river I then changed the shape of my bracelet into a sword as I had originally obtained it, and without linger, I cut off each fin and head of the fish and cut the flesh to the end of the tail to separate the bones, before I cut the flesh two fingers thick.

After everything was cut off I was a little surprised by the result because the fish meat looked more, but considering how big the fish size was the result that much was definitely going to be obtained, he said, and I'm happy because that piece of fish is enough for everyone.

"Shea, if you're done just put it in this pot" Toki told me.

"Good hehehe" I said with a smile.

"Oh yeah, you better take a break after this. Let me cook it."

"Egh.hh…! I also want to help" I said in surprise.

"Can't! you'd better go with Noel. He seems to have trouble with the dragon."

"Emh!! all right" I said a little pouty.

Hiks.

Coming up to me while carrying a large pot for the fish meat container I just smiled at her words, and I quickly put the clean fish meat into the pot brought by Toki, who was already clean, but I was very surprised when Toki asked me to sit still and rest when I did not feel exhausted at all and also I really wanted to show him my cooking skills, moreover, it will be my first cooking with this body, but Toki kept me out and asked me to accompany Noel who was on the verge of his fear with teary eyes as the earth dragon continued to push his head towards Noel, and inevitably I had to sit quietly with him.

***

"Yeah!!!" yelled Noel loudly.

Groh...!

Hahh... he is already very tame tablets.("____).

"Well good.don't scare him yes" I told the dragon.

Groaches...

"Don't come closer don't come closer don't come closer!" noel said as he closed his eyes.

Groaches...

"Hehehe dragon is good" I said smilingly as I stroked the dragon's head.

Just a few steps I walked Noel's screaming voice sounded loud enough to break the silence of the quiet voice of nature, even the nearby dragon looked puzzled by the scream while pulling his head back away from Noel, yes I am grateful that the dragon did not pounce on him when surprised by Noel's sudden screams, while walking to their place I told the dragon not to scare Noel away because I was a little worried about his health, the earth dragon then tilted its head then roared a little as I finished with my words and I really liked the behavior.

Meanwhile, Noel was still shaking while saying the sentence repeatedly with one hand raised as if pushing something even though the dragon had distanced his head, I then approached Noel and sat down beside him while trying to make him feel calm followed by the previous earth dragon lying beside me.

"It's okay, he's a good dragon" I told Noel with a smile.

"He won't eat me? he didn't tear me apart, did he? he won't chew me until puree?" ask Noel.

"Ehehe. t-no, just relax she's safe..."

The fantasy is so scary...

"You trying to pet it?" ask her.

"No, no, no, no."

"Hm.. are you sure? he won't hurt you" I asked once more.

" ... "

"You trying?" ask me again while smiling.

"Y-yes maybe once" he said, extending his hand.

…

"How's it?"

"It feels like touching the skin of a snake and it remains scary" Noel said as he retracted my hand with a tense facial expression.

"Y-yes that's how it is, but she's harmless isn't she?"

"Maybe just for now" he said while remaining trembling.

"Ehehe" ("^_^)

I think he's right...

Smiling faintly at Noel I tried to calm her down so that she would not feel afraid anymore, and she slowly began to show her face and ventured to look at me, but I was so shocked when he asked me about that earth dragon how not? Noel was really thinking about the worst possible of the worst that would happen and it was very scary.

To put an end to his fear I then allowed him to stroke the dragon's head, but Noel immediately shook his head refusing to do so, of course because he was still very afraid of the great dragon, but I kept convincing him that there was nothing to fear from the dragon and that I thought back and tried to stroke the dragon's head, although only briefly when touching the dragon's head, but at a glance Noel's fear looks reduced.

"Yes, we're back" said Sam out of the bushes.

"You are so old" Toki said as he left his waist.

"Finding food in the forest is not as easy as foraging in the city market, even in the city there are many people who are still hungry" kroz said while lowering a cloth container containing mushrooms and small fruits such as Berry.

"Woah!! let me help/"

"She…!"

"Why indeed?" ask me while pouting.

"Hahh, your condition does not look better, you should just rest" Toki told me.

"I'm okay, besides this is just cooking? it has nothing to do with/"

"Shea, I know that, but, we owe you a lot, so let me and the others take care of this" Toki said.

"Well.." I said as I sat down near Noel.

"It's okay Shea, I can't cook myself that's why I'm always waiting for hehehe" Noel said, smiling at me.

"But I want to help" I said as I puffed my cheeks.

Looking at Toki who was cutting some vegetables from the direction of the forest bushes Sam and the others finally came up with carrying a lot of mushrooms as well as small fruits that were borne by Kroz, but Toki looked a little annoyed that they had left long enough and Kroz then replied with a cool-sounding speech in my ear, ignoring their quarrel I stood up and intended to take the mushrooms they brought to cook, but once again Toki forbade me to do so and it made me ask him directly with a sullen face, but Toki only reasoned that he forbade me because of my poor condition when I felt very healthy and strong even though there was still pain due to the effects of my previous use of magic.

And of course I do not mind such a thing because I am still very fresh fit to just cook food, but slowly Toki then added the reason that he owed me too much, he said, even so I still want to help him cook even more because I help not because I expect a reply, but because I like to help others, because I like to help others, however, I immediately abandoned my intention to show my cooking skills when I looked into his eyes, so I followed him to remain silent even though I did not like it.

With a sullen face while rummaging through the ground beneath me I really did not like the situation, but I was lucky to be accompanied by Noel who was sitting beside me because he could not cook and also the great dragon that had been around me, although it was a bit upset that at least I had a friend beside me, I also did not want to lose my friend on the first day I made friends just because of the matter of who was cooking, nor did I want to lose my friend, at least I can cook next time and for now I'm just enjoying this friendship.
