I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 145: Question #Pov Toki#

Ah.. He seems to be upset. ("^_^)

"It doesn't matter, after all it's the best" I said as I sat back down to cut vegetables.

"What's up Toki?" ask Sam.

"No, it's nothing" I told him.

Silent in that tree while bulging his cheeks while stirring the ground and grass Shea looks annoyed and disliked with my words that forbid him to come to cooking, she said, even though she was still following him and it was adorable, I actually wanted her to help me cook because I didn't like the style of cooking the lousy men beside me, but looking at her skin that was still reddened by the chain around her neck I could not bear to ask her for help moreover Shea has helped us a lot, and I don't want to bother him just because of the small thing at least he can be friends with Noel who has nothing to do with.

I then chopped down all the remaining vegetables in my bag while Sam, Kaov, and Jaz cleaned up the mushrooms they got, he said, likewise with Kroz and Nath who were blowing embers to boil water and burn some mushrooms.

***

"Hahh. finally finished, the rest just wait for the soup to mature."

"We'll be done as well" Nath said, cleaning his hands.

"Is it edible?" ask her.

"Don't doubt the cuisine of men" Kroz proudly said.

That's why I doubt it.

After the water boils I then put the meat of the fish that Shea had already sliced into it along with the spices vegetables and mushrooms before, I also poked some fish meat to roast next to the existing fireplace and I finally finished cooking and just had to wait for the cooking to ripen, and so did Nath and Kroz who were grilling some mushroom skewers the size of a little boy's fist next to my grill, but I doubt the fungus a little because of its unusual and somewhat suspicious color with many red dots, and as for the self-esteem Nath and Kroz look very proud to agree on, at least I wish they hadn't gone on tilt while eating the mushrooms.

***

Hahh... hot!

"Hm. I think there's less."

"Eh! Shea!" i'm surprised.

"What? I'm not forbidden to taste?" shea said still pouting.

"Y-yes no hehe."

Ah right too, I forgot to put sugar and salt, it just deserved to taste bland. ("______)

"I hope I can help you" Noel said as he walked near me.

"It's okay if you want to learn starting from small things.my grandmother once said cooking skills are abilities that must be owned by women, because it will be brought until she has a family… em it feels so much better" said Shea while re-tasting my cooking.

Grandma? does Shea have a family?hm... What could possibly mean adoptive family?

"I'll try" Noel told Shea.

"Try" Shea said with a smile.

After a few minutes of waiting and stirring the soup that I made, I then retreated from the blaze while sweeping my sweat that was pouring because it had to continue to be close to the burning embers, but the moment I wanted to sit on a rock not far from where I was cooking Shea was suddenly near a soup pot that perched on the fireplace and tasted it, and it surprised me a lot because Shea was under a tree with Noel and his dragon, but now they're near me, meanwhile Kroz and Nath are seen relaxed leaning against the rock near the river as well as Sam and the others.

When Shea tasted the taste of the soup for the second time I realized that I had forgotten to put salt and sugar in it so it was only natural that Shea let out a facial expression that looked astonished by my soup, seeing Shea put the two ingredients in Noel then walked over to me with a face that showed an unpleasant expression of not being able to help anything.

After putting in the lacking ingredients Shea directly stirred it quietly while tasting it once more to make sure of the taste, Shea also smiled in response to Noel's words that could not help anything, he also gave Noel a little advice and I agreed with him, but I was quite surprised to hear Shea had a grandmother, because if he remembered his earlier words that he came from the dragon monster race and it made me think a little about who Shea really was, the only thing I could think of was an adoptive family.

Yeah.I'll ask later.

"Hm. it seems to be ripe" I said as I examined the fish I was burning.

"Owh! then I'll take his head. Hey Blue take this!" shea said she took the head of the grilled fish.

"Gee!" i'm surprised.

Groaches...

"Blue?" I said confused.

"He hehe.. Shea had given him a name" Noel said with a smile that seemed forced.

Ah... M-is that a pet?

"Hehehe, dragon is good" Shea smiled as she stroked the dragon's head.

He was great.

Confusion with the grandmother that Shea meant I then walked closer to the fish grill lined up neatly near the hot embers of the fire by continuing to shadow Shea's words, shea said, I then squatted down in front of the grill then flipped it over to cook it evenly, and after waiting for the final few minutes all the fish and also the cooked soup were cooked and ready to eat.

However, I was quite surprised when Shea suddenly picked up a piece of grilled fish coconut and went to her dragon and directly threw the fish head at her, the dragon looks very different when he is near Shea he looks harmless even I do not feel any danger from the monster even though the dragon is a very terrible high-class monster, he said, but in Shea's presence she really looked like a very obedient house pet, but something that made me feel puzzled was the name she mentioned for summoning the dragon, I didn't expect Shea to name it, he really made it look like a pet and it amazed me a lot.

"This is the bowl" said Sam, carrying several bowls with his spoon.

"Oh! thank you." thank you, thank you."

.

.

"Shea, let's eat" I said to Shea.

"Owh! okay!" he said while walking towards me.

"This is for you" I said as I handed Shea some soup.

"Thank you.. emm! it's delicious!" shea said while eating her food.

His nature is very childish.

"You!! uhhh!! cheated! I'm first!"

"Who quickly can he" Sam mocked Shea.

""Haha...!""

"It's good not to worry that the soup is still a lot of lohh" I said as I poured the soup into Shea's bowl.

"Wahh! um!"

...

"Noel?"

"Eh! ehehehe" said Noel chuckling.

Is that really that slender? ("^_^)

...

Coming up with a few bowls Sam then also helped me to put the soup into the bowl one by one, while my other friends sat waiting around the fire, not long after all the food was ready to eat I immediately called Shea who was still busy playing with her dragon to eat together, shea quickly approached and sat with us, followed by her dragon, who was also sitting next to her, Shea then immediately ate her soup and fish voraciously right after I served her even she finished it very quickly.

I could hardly believe her childish nature, but I liked that because Shea looked adorable and that trait was perfect for her, because Shea's bowl was empty, I wanted to pour some new soup because she looked hungry and Shea looked really happy about it, but all of a sudden Sam broke through Shea's bowl and made me pour that soup in her bowl, even Sam was also a little mocking her who was so stupefied that Shea immediately looked sullen with bulging cheeks and it made everyone here laugh.

Seeing that I then returned to pouring the soup into Shea's bowl and quickly her facial expression instantly turned into a very cheerful one, after that I then looked beside me where Noel sat and ate to check the contents of his bowl because he was the one who was very hungry in this group before, but I was immediately surprised when I looked at him because it was different from us who only took one or two skewers of fish meat, Noel even has six skewers of grilled fish in his bowl even he looks still want to take the fish if only I do not look at him, his appetite is really extraordinary. ("______)

"Y!! hehehe my stomach is filled again, thanks for the food" Shea said with a satisfied smile.

Groaches...

"Sheah"

"What's up, Toki?" tell me while smiling.

"Do you have a family?" ask her.

"Sure, I have./" he replied.

"I mean the biological family" I explained.

"Yes I have it, but that was then, now I don't know what happened to my family" he replied again.

"What's wrong with your family?"

"You will definitely not believe what I said if I told you, yahh, even so I can't tell you that" Shea replied staring up at the sky.

Still imagined by the figure of the grandmother that Shea meant I then asked her about her family, because maybe what Shea meant by grandmother there was a foster family who made Shea as her grandson, because maybe, and so that there is no misunderstanding, I immediately made it clear that what I meant was the existence of his biological family, not the adoptive family, if Shea had an adoptive family I would greatly understand it because she was from the dragon monster race, but if it was a real family, then, maybe Shea was playing around about her race or she did not want to tell the truth about her because we just met a while ago.

But, I was very surprised when I heard Shea had a real family even she said that with a smile even though she finally looked moody, and out of curiosity with his family I asked Shea again even though it seemed impolite because my question was about personal matters, however, Shea seems to not want to talk about it for some inexplicable reason.

"Hm.. well I can't force you to tell me anything personal either, but can I ask you one more question?" say him.

"Of course" he said with a smile.

"I'm sorry before, but are you really from the succubus demon race?" ask her.

"Gee!" °-°

"" … ""

"HAHHHHH!!!! no no no no!! that is impossible!! I've lost me to a dragon! oh, naaga!! lookit! this is! and this! I can also spout fire from my mouth!! NAY!! I'm not a succubus!!!"

GROAHHH!!

"Well, okay, I understand."

"Agh! my pride is ruined." Shea said as she fell. ( ⁇ _ ⁇ )

…

"Why are you asking that question, Toki?" ask Noel.

"Y-yeah how to explain it yes, I'm just confused by the family that Shea means. If Shea is from the dragon monster race how could she have such a complete family even be able to say something, you know, you know, the monster couldn't speak" I explained to Noel.

"I also thought a little bit about it, if he noticed Shea was more like a succubus demon than a dragon, only he had no tail" Jaz said.

"He is confusing" Kroz said.

Feeling still curious I then asked permission first to go back to asking him because it was a disrespectful question and Shea allowed it with a smile, with a little apology I immediately told her my question regarding what Shea race really is, and everyone who was in this place fell silent with round eyes shocked at my words because I called Shea a succubus demon race and of course it was just a question not that I considered her a person succubus.

And Shea immediately denied it while shouting to show horns, wings, and even Shea also opened her mouth wide to reveal the tiny fangs in her mouth, even the dragon behind Shea seemed to want to go berserk seeing Shea shout loudly, not without reason I thought that way, but because monsters especially for dragon monsters can not live in groups even though they are very concerned with other dragons, moreover, there were rarely any monsters that could speak and the biological family Shea meant really made me think that Shea was not from the dragon monster race.

"Hahh.. regarding my family, I've eliminated you won't believe if I tell it, even if it's not a story that can be digested by the common sense of ordinary people from this world" shea said leaning against the body of the dragon while sitting embracing her feet.

"And as for my physical form, just ask the God who made me like this, I can't determine what I'm going to be born with" he said.

Groaches...

"Hahh, at least I've felt like life, someday when I'm off this chain I'll show you who I really am" Shea continued, stroking her dragon.

"Sorry Shea, I didn't mean anything, I just/"

"It's okay, I understand, I'm also sorry for not being able to say anything further than this."
