I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 163: Old grandfather

Hiks... Why is everyone always thinking badly of me? hiks... when I just want to live a relaxed life and have many friends.... hiks.... why does this have to happen to me?

Bruk!

"Hiks.. hiks.. I hate this life..."

I continued to run aimlessly while sweeping away my flowing tears blending into the rain no matter how cold the drops of water flushed me, until I finally fell into the pool of water from tripping over the roots of the tree, I could not stop my cries from this life I hated so much, there was no progress from the actions I had taken over the past three months and it had instead made me even more shunned by the people I met.

Crying in a soft voice in the heavy rain among the mud puddles that litter my dress and hair, I began to regret all the decisions I had taken, I hated my life, I hated this body, I hated this body, I regret that having chosen to be reincarnated, I should not have followed that ridiculous wish, I should have known I would never be able to get a normal life.

...✿✿✿✿✿...

"I want to go home. I want to go back. Mama..."

.

.

"Hiks hyks... uh…! hiks... Where is this?" I stopped walking while sweeping my tears.

"It hurts. so yes..it's close to the limit..."

Went away from the mud puddle while still sobbing walking somewhere, I hope to get away from this world and return to my old life even though it was impossible to happen, he said, and without me realizing the chain around my neck started to burn me, which means I was too close to the boundaries of the territory that had been determined.

I never came to this place, everything I saw felt so strange even more because everything I saw was covered by falling rainwater, but I didn't care about it, a strange place or not, sick or sick, for me now it is useless, after all no one cares about me even though I suffer.

"Hey, do you want to be my friend?" I said softly as I looked towards a large towering tree.

" … "

"Ah... right..had I gone mad talking to a tree.." I said while dropping my gaze.

"This world is unfair.The god is a liar, you shouldn't have chosen me so that I wouldn't repeat this." I looked up high.

Walking glumly through the rain, my tears had stopped flowing for too long crying, my chain was heating up every time I walked until I finally arrived before a big tree that was lush with leaves, he said, I felt a different aura from that tree, but it was not a strong reason to act like a madman who spoke for himself.

...✿✿✿...

"Ah. this is the street."

The spring!

"That's...!!"

"Bandit! i.." I said looking straight ahead.

Why do I help them, I will not be appreciated.

"But if not I help them for sure…"

"Gurgh!" shouted someone who was cut off.

"This once, thank my stupidity" I said as I changed my bracelet.

Trying to calm myself down with a walk through the forest, without me realizing I was already on the edge of a quiet road with the specks of rain that did not subside in the slightest, there was no sound I heard except the drops of water falling all around me, but as I had long since walked down the street in front of me, a loud enough scream broke the silence of the rain, moreover, the source of the shout was right in front of me among the torrent of rainwater.

A large group of people attacked another group of smaller statures, they looked like robbers robbing the belongings of two passing horse carriages, they looked like robbers robbing things, clearly visible in my eyes some people were fighting and were cut down by that large-bodied group.

I was confused as to what I should do, people seemed to need my help, but after that they would definitely yell at me and stay away from me just like before, doing such a thing would only add to my pain and agony, but on the other hand I also wanted to help them.

Gazing at the inhuman tragedy unfolding before me, I was completely enveloped in doubt to act. However, in the end I chose to save them, I lost to my own feelings or rather it was my folly to hurt myself again.

...✿✿✿...

"Haha! dead loser!" said one of the bandits while shaking his sword.

The spring!

Laughing without the slightest guilt while about to kill someone else, the bald man with a large cut on his face to the middle of his head swung his greatsword towards an old man who was leaning on the tire of his carriage, seeing such a merciless act I instantly stopped his sword with my sword and had I not held back his slash, that grandfather's head would have been split into two pieces.

"Hurry to die so that I don't suffer too long" I said slowly while holding back his slash with my sword.

"P-appearance is. You must be the devil's daughter that people talk about.." she told me.

"I hate that name. So, I'm sorry. I'm gonna kill you."

Srett!

"Uakhm!!"

"T-can't be.. k-chairman lost by one slash? he's monster…! mundurs!!" said another bandit.

"Just give up. You're all gonna kill me..."

"Aarrayo!!"

.

.

"I hate this…"

I just lowered my head and hid behind my long hair as I held back the big man's slash, I did so that I would not see the expressions of the people here and also because my chain had started to feel very hot.

The bandits who were here looked full of tension even to the point of stopping their cruelty to the merchants and other weaker people, he said, the big sword of the muscle brain felt trembling at the end of my sword even the tone of his speech was like that, while bringing up the strange nickname that people gave me, I hated that even though he took a few steps back to prepare for his attack, I had already split his body into two separate pieces before he even had time to blink.

They suffered heavy injuries...ekhh!!

"Well.hah..hahh…! ahh.. I may be a very stupid person…"

After killing all the bandits and restoring the shape of my bracelet, I then looked at the area around me to ascertain the state of every injured person, he said, I can still feel the aura from their bodies lying down even their chests are still looking bloated which means that those people are still alive despite having been heavily injured by the attacks of the bandits.

Not wanting to take too long to let those people get hurt, I then treated all of them with my healing magic simultaneously so that no one would be killed while I was busy treating one of them, she said, I may be the most stupid person in the world and I may regret this fruitless act of mine, but I can't just ignore the people in front of me, my chains that have been active for violating the boundaries of my jurisdiction are now getting sicker because I use my magic.

That grandpa...

.

.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh, you're the girl who helped me, thank you. Otherwise you help me I won't be able to go home to deliver gifts for my grandchildren" he told me as he tidied up his scattered belongings.

Cretek.

"A-oh... p-my waist!" he held her waist.

Seeing the hunchbacked old geezer tidying up his things so calmly made me a little curious, though, I slowly approached her with wet hair covering my face to ask her the circumstances since she had been almost the target of the murder of the bandits before, but he did not flinch at all when I approached him in contrast to the people I had met who ran away without a second thought, this grandfather was very calm when I asked him to speak.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Fear of what?" he said back to asking while continuing to tidy up his things.

"Of course I'm afraid of me." I said, looking down.

"Hohoho...no, what do I need to fear from a good young girl like you?"

"I'm not as good as you think and maybe I'll kill and eat you, aren't you afraid of that?" I still say while bowing my head.

"I'm too old to think of fear, after all a smelly old man like me is about to die."

Continuing to look down gloomily while talking to this old man, I was completely confused about his extremely calm way of thinking without any fear towards me, I had already tried to scare him away by saying that I would kill him, I had already tried to kill him, but he just smiled with his wrinkled skin and replied to my words in what was without the slightest fear, this grandfather is really confusing.

"Maybe you're the only one who dares to talk like that…/"

"This is for you" he said, giving me an orange.

"What's this?" ask her.

"That's my gratitude to you, at least oranges have more flavor than wrinkled old man meat like me hohohoho..."

" … "

I had not finished my sentence, the old man suddenly gave me an orange with a very nice orange color as a thank you to me, I was completely speechless to see that round orange fruit in my grasp, I never imagined I would get a gift from the person I helped because everyone immediately left me with great fear.

"Your face is too tired.you must have fought very hard.maybe you should rest."

"Smile yes, maybe I will just smile like my old life." I said slowly while looking down.

"But thanks grandpa, I feel a little better."

"Hohoho."

"Oh yes, please accept this. I do not want to accept a gift that will make you lose" I said as I handed over a small piece of mineral crystal that I brought.

"Hm. you don't have to pay for it." said the grandfather returned my crystal.

Before turning around to tie his detached horse the grandfather looked at me and spoke as if he understood the content of my feelings that were so tired of life never changing, even though I felt helped by his words, but my smile will probably never be different from what it used to be as a smile full of pretenses, a smile of lies that hurts so much.

After a little thanking I then gave one small piece of the mineral crystal that I happened to store up my sleeve, I gave it to him because I realized that grandfather was a merchant and I also did not want to take advantage of my actions.

The vulnerable grandfather took it and examined it with a small magnifying glass that he took from his pocket before finally the grandfather returned it to me again.

"What's because this is worthless grandfather doesn't want to accept it?" I said back to bow my head.

"No, but since your crystal is so much more valuable than gold, giving an orange won't do me any harm anyway, it's my gratitude to you for helping us, compared to what you did. the orange was nothing" Grandpa told me.

"That's it, but I wish grandpa would take it."

"Hm... How about if the crystal is exchanged for the things you want?" askinya.

"Is that not a problem?"

"Of course not.. but unfortunately for now my remaining items are only a little... otherwise mind can you wait two more weeks…? I always pass this road when I come home to trade in the opposite direction" said the grandfather explained in his distinctive voice as a grandfather.

"Yes, it's okay, as long as grandfather is willing to accept this I…/"

"God…!"

"They're awake, it looks like it's time for me to leave, I don't want to scare them" I said as I spread my wings.

"Thank you very much for your help, we'll meet here in two weeks" he told me, waving his hand.

"I'm sorry, excuse me."
