I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 166: Guest

Inhaling the fresh air from the top of the grass hill, I felt very calm while sitting in this place, the cool air was really soothing and as if lifting my weight all this while feeling a little quiet, it was a little relaxing, but I'm pretty happy to be here.

...

"Aarrgghhhh!!!"

"Eh?! what's that?!"

"Shouts? it seems to be in trouble, but it should be far from the adventurous path..."

Almost asleep under this hill tree because of the very comfortable atmosphere, I was suddenly startled by the sound of a cry that felt very cliche in my ears, but the thing that puzzled me was that the screams sounded not far from where I was at the moment.

Because for the past few months I have been wandering around in this forest, I have remembered the paths that adventurers and merchants often pass through, and this place is clearly far from it all.

"... I'd better take a look" I said as I flew back.

In order to ascertain what was going on, I decided to fly around the area looking for the origin of the shout, but of course someone in the forest is not easy to find because I can only see a little space while the rest is the foliage of trees that thrive.

...

"Ehh...! it seems that this would be a little difficult, had there been another clue...hm...it is like the smell of blood…? ah, it's dangerous."

Although it initially seemed impossible to find, moments after I flew low looking for it from above the trees, I smelled the scent of fresh blood that was thick enough to fill my sense of smell, even though it was a good clue, it was a good one, but it's also a sign of something bad.

Because if I could smell that blood, it would not rule out that monsters with a keen sense of smell could also sense it, and the fact that that person was being injured must also be being chased by monsters.

"Hm.. His blood must have been splattered like this. His wound must have been very large.. Then, I must hurry."

As I descended from the heights because my eyes were completely blocked by the lush foliage of the trees, I walked following the drops of blood splattered on the leaves of the shrubs as well as the weeds, he said, the more I followed him the more fresh and fresh blood I saw.

The smell of blood kept circling around me and made me a little uncomfortable, but since I was worried about what was happening, I didn't really care about it, and one of my worries was that it was possible that the person would bleed out from the sheer amount of blood in front of me, which was what kept me going in the midst of this discomfort.

Gerrr!!

"Emh! sucks! shuh shuh! go, I don't want to serve you!"

.

.

"Hm, it's easier than I imagined.well."

Entering through the bushes was quite annoying because it was so thick, and after being in this forest trap for quite a while, I finally managed to get out with a slight sigh, after a short time, but just getting out of a shitty situation I was suddenly confronted by five black dog monsters with fangs covered in saliva and it looked disgusting which made me not want to fight them.

And also because I don't want to move too much to deal with those monsters, I was just shaking my hand like driving away wild animals and I was glad that it was so effective to get them to leave without having to fight wasting time and effort, and of course without having to dirty my dress with their saliva.

"Huh hahhh...!"

"That voice from behind the tree..."

.

.

"That's it! but.. argh!! forget that! I need to help her!"

Not so long after I chased away the black dog monsters, the sound of coarse breathing full of screams sounded very clearly in my ears and without wasting any more time, I then immediately headed to the source of the voice and sure enough, there was one man lying down while leaning against the tree trunk with one large, clearly visible wound on his chest.

His blood flowed profusely as if there was no stopping him from top to bottom even where he was leaning was also filled with red blood, judging from the animal's ears and tail it was very clear that he was from the wolf beastman race, and because of his enormous injuries I hesitated to help him, but I immediately took my doubts off and prepared to give first aid as much as I could.

"Hold on. I'll treat..."

The deg!

"Huh.. huh... hahh...! why... my hand?!"

The moment I wanted to treat that person and focused on using healing magic, my heart suddenly thumped and my hands also felt stiff even I could barely move, I was really confused by what was happening to me right now that made my body tremble because of it, my breathing felt so heavy and tight as if suffocated by something even though my chain was completely inactive.

"Hiks... why? whatisthis? no. I can't be like this. I have to focus. "I said as I swept my tears.

"Although this is a high risk, but it doesn't matter. calm yourself Shea..."

With all the confusing things I felt right now, my tears were flowing by themselves for no apparent reason.

My body seemed to refuse to do what I wanted, but I was lucky that I could quickly calm myself down and refocus on my goal of saving the person who was now in front of me, even though my body was still trembling, but I feel so much better.

" ...all right..let's start."

"Uhuk! uhuk!!"

When I started the healing process on the large wound that was on the chest of that person, blood suddenly spurted from his mouth accompanied by a loud cough that looked very severe.

"Hold on! ekh!! can't! I should be able to treat it...!"

" ... "

The deg!

"Gurgh!!"

My chains instantly actively strangled my neck as I used my healing magic, my body heating up to the stage where I might soon cry.

It hurts a lot, but I keep trying to focus on continuing my healing magic in order to save that person's life, but no matter how hard I survive in the end I have to stop my magic because the effects of my chain have become more and more so.

"H-should.. can...wait!! don't die! don't die! don't die!! no...no!!!"

Sighing violently to return to using my magic, when I looked at him again the wolf beastman's body had already turned extremely pale as if there were no more drops of blood in his flesh. In addition, his chest that was originally deflated flowers withstood the pain also did not move anymore.

Even though I had used my magic repeatedly to return her breath, but still she would never breathe again, and this was the first time I could not help others with my strength, sad? of course, because I had let someone else die in front of me.

He might be a nobody, I never knew him either, and being sad when I saw an unknown person die was probably something strange, she said, but I only met a handful of people for a long time even though of those few people only a few would talk to me, I still wish that there were people who would be my friends.

I want to talk, there is nothing that guarantees this person will be my friend, but I am still sad that I cannot help him.

"Sorry, I hope you rest in peace." I said, freezing her body.

"... ekhh!! I-I have to go home soon."

Although I was very difficult to use my magic, but since I did not want the corpse of that person to be eaten by a monster, I chose to freeze it and destroy it until there was no part of his body left, except for the blood that splattered all the way.

Since my business was done and my body was constantly getting sick, I then flew away while I was still able to return home because if I had reached my limit, I might have trouble getting home.

...✧✧✧...

"Huh huh huh!! ah... hicks.. hurts...!"

Long enough I flew with an unstable state, I finally managed to arrive at Cryle lake and immediately stretched out to cover my face because of the tears that I could not hold anymore.

"Hiks hyks... hurts!"

"Miss?"

"Sira..."

"What's the matter, miss?"

As I sat down to embrace my feet and dunked my face crying over my miserable state, Sira then came to greet me which made me lift my face again.

It's so embarrassing because my face is filled with tears and there's no time to sweep it, I'm even having trouble moving even if it's just a little bit, it is very difficult for me to smile in this painful state and I am sure that Sira is aware of my condition because at the moment I cannot cover anything from it.

"Hey Sira... Do you think I'm stupid?"

"You're just being yourself, miss, there aren't many people out there who care about other people's circumstances, I think what you're doing is a good thing, it's just that you shouldn't overdo it to the point of forgetting your own circumstances."

"That's it..."

While leaning against Sira's body filled with soft fur, once again in my life I felt very stupid for being willing to hurt myself for the sake of others who never guaranteed my goal, I wanted so badly to bang my head that I could forget all my pain and stupidity, at least that's what I thought before Sira came and talked to me, even though my pain didn't go away, but I feel better when I listen to Sira.

"Can you help me stand up?"

"Sure, miss."

.

.

"Thank you Sira, from here on out I can walk on my own."

"You sure?"

"Yes, it's okay."

"All right."

Walking with the help of Sira, she continued to lead me from the lake until I arrived in front of the stairs of the wall house, if I did not hold on to Sira, I may have fallen down many times because my legs were so limp.

After helping me, Sira then turned back into a little tiger and lay on the 3rd step, while I walked slowly towards my room holding on to the wall.

...

"Ohh.. hahh...! it's gonna be a long time, I better take a shower. After that, I hope I can sleep well."

Lying on a soft mattress, though full of struggle to get to my room without falling, I was happy to get to my room so I could rest without any outside interference, but because my body was so hot I decided to take a bath so I could reduce the heat a bit.

I immediately took my bathrobe or bathrobe and a small towel from the closet to wrap my hair later, one big challenge I had to face before I could soak was that I had to climb down the stairs I had been through with great difficulty.

"No problem, it's just a ladder..."

Bruck...

"Hiks... Sira. I can't go down..."

"Y-yeah.wait, miss. let me help you."

Although trying not to care about the descending stairs that I will go through, but still I have not had time to step my feet to go down on the first rung of stairs, but still have not had time to step down, my legs went limp and I had to fall hard enough in an unpleasant landing.

I felt like I was on top of a very high tower and could not go back down, and finally because I could not get up again I then called Sira to help me once again, shortly afterwards Sira turned into a tiger-human monster and carried me to the front entrance of the two lakes room.

"Thank you, Sira."

"Yes, just call me later if you're done."

"I-yes sure."

After driving me to the front of the lake room in the kitchen, Sira then turned her body back into a small tiger and jumped up on the dining table and as usual she immediately lay down like a fur pillow.

Step by step I walked, despite being in a very painful and occasional moaning state, I finally managed to soak up after taking off all my clothes and putting them on the stone along with my bathrobe and towel.

"Ah~ is difficult to enjoy this in a very sick state."

Soaking while gently rubbing my skin and hair from end to end, I would have enjoyed my calmness greatly had my chain been inactive, but as this was the opposite state, I find it hard to find calm.

"I hope this chain quickly disappears from my neck..."

Crack

"Eh! EEHHH!!!! just wait! I'm just kidding! I'm not serious! come back! no!!! he must be angry...! he must have hit me again...! this time he couldn't forgive me... I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!!!"

Long as I soaked in this clear water, I began to hope that my chains would be released and I would no longer have to suffer so badly, but either because the power of hope is too great my chain suddenly shattered into three parts and of course it surprised me.

I felt very panicked and scared when the chain was broken, if I had been beaten to death by accidentally breaking my chain of punishment, I could not think of what would happen to me later when that person came to my house, I kept trying to reattach the piece of chain to my neck in a panic, but still the piece of iron will never be connected again.

My mind instantly became muddled because I did not understand what was happening, I did nothing on the chain, but I was pretty sure that person would never listen to my words and would still beat me up.

"Take it easy, Shea! calm down and think! panicked thoughts will not solve anything.I first analyze the situation, then I should have taken a shower..."

.

.

"Eh! miss?!"

Still very panicked by this confusing situation, I then immediately put on a bathrobe and ran quickly towards my room past the seemingly confused Sira while carrying all the pieces of my broken punishment chain.

"How is this?! how could this possibly happen?! what should I tell him later?! he must be mad at me!"

Tok tok...

"Wait a minute! eh?! wait up?! Sira, you just got out of here?"

"Yes, that's it, miss."

Arriving at the room I immediately put on my clothes quickly while thinking about the best way to deal with this matter without having any possibility of suffering, I kept circling in my room with a completely chaotic mind.

Not long after I heard a knock on the door and I spontaneously asked him to wait as I walked towards the entrance, but when I came down the stairs and saw Sira who just came out of the kitchen, I just realized that the knocking was not Sira and since the beginning it was not.

Walking slowly towards the door while gulping down with cold sweat that started to come out, I who was accompanied by Sira then opened my door.

"S-welcome..."
