I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 169: Haaahhhhh!!!!!

Somehow I explained this situation, behind me right now a cruel person with sharp eyes piercing him who often punishes me now walks after me into the house without a word.

I find it hard to breathe in this tense state even my heart is pounding very fast, let me be clear this is not a thrilling moment where a girl invites a man into her house, no... this is not a romantic story.

Aghh! that's creepy...! how do I explain the chain? he couldn't possibly receive a clear answer that couldn't possibly happen.

Ever since I let this guy into the house, my mind has been really messed up and it's been really hard for me to get my peace, though, I always felt watched by that sharp gaze until we entered the living room I was sure the blood was dead, what I felt right now was worse than the atmosphere in the horror movies.

"S-please sit..."

"Yes, thank you."

"Sorry the room is empty."

I did allow her to sit in the living room, but I realized that there was nothing in this room, I have not had time to decorate the living room because I only decorate the rooms and doors.

After all I never expected the arrival of a guest in this very remote house, in the end he just sat in the middle of the empty living room floor.

"No problem" he said briefly.

From the very beginning of his arrival I was very worried about my fate later, but either because of my feelings alone or he did have a good purpose, this person looked calmer than usual who always hit me when it came.

But, still I can't calm down when he's here and therefore I still have a hard time talking normally with him, even more so if I misspoke I might get a crude bomb for the umpteenth time.

"Ehe-hehe. wait a minute, let me make some tea."

"Yes, thank you."

I felt very relieved when I could go to the kitchen to breathe fresh air, even though it only lasted for a while because I had to deliver tea to this creepy guest of mine.

...

"Hhh...! what am I supposed to do, Sira?"

"Let's just relax, lady, it seems that she didn't come to fight."

Arriving in the kitchen I immediately sighed violently while preparing the tea drink with the teapot I made using my magic, I made a drink with tea leaves that Sira got from her friend who I never knew who she was.

Actually I still feel afraid to use my magic, but because my teapot has not been washed I was forced to make it myself, and even though Sira asked me to calm down in the face of my problems, but still I find it difficult to do so because that person's gaze still feels very sharp to me.

"Yes, it seems like it is, after all, he does not wear his armor, but he is still creepy..."

Honestly I hate to admit it, but that guy did come with a different look than before and seemed pretty charming to the size of a ruthless man who indiscriminately hurt women.

He came wearing a formal white shirt with a dark blue vest and even he was wearing leather shoes, judging from his clothes he did not come to beat me up, but still the creepy impression could not be lost from my mind.

"The gaze still holds a grudge against me. hahh. I don't want to fight, no. I don't want to fight it" I said as I placed the glass on the tray.

"For now you don't have to worry about it, miss."

"Yes, I hope."

Finished arranging a few drinking glasses on the tray along with a teapot that I made with my ice magic – except the tea water–, all of which I made with ice magic, after that I took heavy steps back to walk towards the living room to present it to my cruel guest, doing this just like mental torture.

...✧✧✧...

"Pardon the long wait, please drink."

Slowly sitting facing each other while putting the water-filled glasses in front of us, I actually wanted to use my strength because there was no table in this room, but since I was still afraid to use my magic in front of him I just placed that drinking glass on the floor, although nervous half-dead at least I had learned good etiquette in welcoming guests.

Take it easy, this will be fine.All I need to do is behave as usual...

The room was silent and almost soundproof, all the movements carried out within this room seemed to echo, the sound of his glass and small plate rubbing against him as the person raised and placed it again sounded very clear in my ears like a horror atmosphere.

Although I tried to stay calm and keep my expression by occasionally also drinking tea, but still even for the liquid water I had enough trouble swallowing it even more so when her eyes came back to me when she finished her tea, I could only lower my gaze.

"It's delicious" he said briefly.

Aaarrgghhhh!! die me!!

"Eh!? t-thank you."

Aghh..thank God. ( ⁇ _ ⁇ )

This atmosphere is really very stressful and maybe even my heart will not work anymore because of the many surprises that occur, however I am still a bit afraid of this person.

"Pardon me, if I may know, a-anu... there are...what needs.... did you come to this place?"

"Can't it?"

"No no no no...! it's not! of course you can come, but-but this is too sudden..that's it.." said I lowered my head as I gradually lowered my tone.

Although I am still confused how to talk to him, I try to ask the reason for this visit by continuing to look down rather than looking directly into his eyes –because it is impossible to happen, he said, he was too creepy to look at directly.

But, her reaction was quite different to what I imagined, her tone was flat as well as her face, too, at first I thought he would look at me with a look and tone of voice that sounded terrible full of anger like the first time we met, but this time he seemed quite friendly.

"I see, I came here to talk about punishment.../"

"I'm sorry! i'm sorry!! the chain came off on its own!!"

For the umpteenth time I thought my heart would stop, what I feared was really happening, she said, I sincerely hope that this conversation will never exist because I cannot fight it in case of a fight in this house, after all sooner or later he will definitely talk about my chain.

That's why, I immediately spontaneously lowered my head while apologizing to him about my loose chain, it's not a matter of self-esteem because I never took issue with it in matters like this, she said, but it was true that I felt that my actions were quite embarrassing to do even so I did not want to make a fuss with him anymore.

"I really don't know what's going on!! sorry!! please don't hit me!!"

"Calm down, lady, your words are starting to fall apart" Sira told me.

After discussing the matter of my punishment, I could hardly think of anything else even no loopholes to evade, I did not like violence, she said, I shouted obscurely while putting my forehead on the floor and for a while I seemed to lose control if Sira did not wake me up

"Sorry! sorrysorry! I'm so sorry!" I said while sitting back.

"I purposely let go of the chain, because the sentence is over" he said, returning to his tea.

" ... "

For a glance I was very surprised and confused by what happened, in short I had already killed my own race and it was not something that could be forgiven just like that, and now that I heard that I was released from my sentence in such a short time, this news was truly a surprise to me.

"What's wrong?" askinya.

"T-no, it's nothing, I'm just. surprised... ehe-hehe.." I replied as I lowered my gaze.

"Absmacked by what?"

"Y-yes, what I did was a big crime isn't it? j-so, I think it's too soon.../"

"Do you still want to be punished?"

"T-no..."

Obviously I don't want to, very badly not want to. •_____•"

"Then forget it, the dead will not be able to come back to life."

Really very thrilling, although I am happy because my sentence is over, but instead act as if I still want to live it, he said, I just feel guilty and unwell doesn't mean I don't want my sentence to end, I just really want this painful situation to be over quickly, but if it's too soon like this I feel like there's something weird going on.

Very confusing, but somehow I like a reliable bribe who can be free from the law in just a few months, whereas the crime I committed was murder which I should have been serving a sentence of dozens to decades.

Is it possible because this is another world law so it is very different from the laws in my former world?

Cracks!

My glass broke into pieces spilling my warm tea water, my body stiffened unable to move in the slightest when I heard that remark, there was a strange disturbing sound in my eardrum, I said, so loud that I can't hear anything anymore.

Ah.. this is impossible... •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

"I'm very interested in you. Not literally, I'm only interested in your way of life, I've lived in this world for a long time and only this time I found a stupid dragon like you."

"Ehe-hehe.. m-sorry for that..."

At least not to mention. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

Lifting up one by one the broken glass I dropped when I heard the first sentence that made my heart briefly stop beating, I was lucky because the water was gone before my glass fell. Therefore, I do not need to clean up the water spill that will dirty my dress.

That person did come with a polite look and looked very friendly, indeed, but I felt a different impression from his spicy and heartless mouth even though it was reality and I could not deny it at all, but I wish I could hear a better word because I'm not really stupid, even if I'm a former champion in my old world. So, you could say I'm a smart person and not the other way around.

"You need to know that a creature like us can never coexist with anyone, even if you know that you will still be who you are?"

" ... "

"I'll keep trying until I succeed, I don't want to give up before trying.../"

"What do you mean your actions during these few months were not an effort? they stay away from you and don't want to hear you even if you try, your efforts will never be rewarded and it will only be a failure."

The man's gaze was completely fixed on me and with his voice sounding emotionless flat, I could barely serve him speaking of course because he cut my speech, she said, and I was really like a turtle hiding inside his shell without being able to look him in the face when he came back to tell the facts on the ground as they were.

"Yes... So far it is, but! it just because they don't know me yet, I'm going to keep trying to be friends with all of them!" I clenched my hands with a convincing smile.

...

"Interesting.if that's what you want, I want to see it with my eyes, if you manage to show it to me. I'll happily follow you."

" ... "

"But, if you don't or you change your faith, I'll lock you up in the labyrinth without exception."

"A-anu... What... does that mean...?"

"I will wait until you can prove it to me until that day comes, give your orders to me" he said, bowing his head slightly.

"Eh! eegghhhh!! t-please lift your head...!"

This was so shocking and even confusing, he just threatened me with a very serious look and now that he lowered his head, I simply could not digest what was really going on here.

He asked me to rule him, of course it made me unable to think clearly, this fellow had just finished punishing me with a punishment that was extremely torturing to me, he said, but now he's getting so soft on me that I want orders, even though it's a good opportunity to get back at him, but I don't think I'd be able to do that to him because anyway from my point of view he's still very creepy.

Dukk!!

"What do you mean!! are you.../"

"I'm not talking to you, Sira."

" ... "

"Y-yes. t-it's okay Sira.. and t-please don't quarrel here ehe-hehe..."

I don't want my house to be destroyed again

"Well miss" said Sira as she returned to sitting quietly.

In contrast to me who was very surprised, Sira actually looks very angry at the person while stomping her feet hard even the situation in this room feels starting to heat up with Sira who collides with the gaze.

Seeing that I immediately stopped them because obviously I could feel the intense aura of power from the two of them, and I did not want my house to be destroyed like before, I already liked this house.

I don't know what caused Sira to look so angry, so different from me who was surprised without understanding anything.

"I won't ask him for a second time, what are your orders?" askinya.

This guy, is he actually threatening or asking? ^_^''

I was really confused by what I should now do even more this guy looked like he was forcing rather than asking, his expression was very firm with red eyes piercing deep into my body.

"I-I still don't understand, but-but.. if you insist........ can I know what you usually do?"

"Usually? hm.. I usually keep an eye on the state of this labyrinth."

"Supervising the labyrinth, y-yeah, then please do that and if you can please tell me what strange things are happening in this labyrinth."

Because I can't directly give orders to him, especially because I've never ruled anything clearly, I was really very confused and finally I just asked him to do things that became his daily life, that way he won't feel very offended by my words if I ask him to do something different to his wishes.

"Understanding, then I say goodbye, excuse me" he said as he slowly stood up.

"Tu-wait...! a-anu... What's your name? I-I didn't mean anything, really...! t-this is just so I can more easily call you..."

After hearing my words he then nodded his head slightly before finally intending to leave the living room, but I immediately stopped his steps because I did not know his name at all, we have not known each other since we first met until now, the only thing that happened when we were visiting was a painful quarrel.

"Call Ardner, that's enough."

"Ardner yes.my name is Shea, then from now on please help" I said with a faint smile.

"Yes, excuse me." he said as he left the living room.

Honestly, though, it was too late for introductions, but I was very happy with our last conversation today even though he was very stiff with me and I had enough trouble talking to him, I am really very happy of course this is also because I can use my power again which means I am free to do what I want.

"Bright...! I can finally breathe! I thought I'd be punished for good, yeah, though I still have something to do."

After Ardner left, I immediately sighed with great relief while lying on my back in the living room, this conversation was very much pressured even to keep smiling was very difficult.

But, it was all over and left only one PR for me, which was that I had to be able to convince Ardner that I could be friends with many people and coexist with them.

"All right, what's next? I can already use my power again, hm.o.wh!! true too! I will change the look of this house hehehe" I said as I sat back down.

"Well, it's time to turn this soil into clean ceramics."

Standing up with a simple plan because I was able to use my magic, I then stomped one foot onto the floor and instantly snowflakes sprinkled all over my house forming clean white ceramics, I also covered my entire house with the same ice.

Turning the entire landscape of this house into milky white with snowflake-patterned floors, now this house is very similar to my house that was destroyed by Ardner's attack.

"Yosh...! everything is neat.. hm. because my strength has returned I should be able to explore further, yes! ehe..."

Finished decorating my house that looked hollow and filled with shades of stone as well as the ground became glittering clean, I then intended to continue my previously very limited exploration to further afield.

"Oh yeah, do you want to come with Sira?"

"No miss, I have a little business" he said as he walked out of the wall house.

"Oh so yes.well, hopefully it goes well... Sira's..."

Sira's expression had not changed at all since Ardner came here, Sira seemed to be holding back the irritation in her countenance even when I asked her to go on an adventure, he did not look at me at all and only replied as he walked away leaving me in the living room.

...

"Hm... What's wrong with her? but, let it be. it doesn't matter... Yaahooo!!! welcome to freedom!!! I'll be walking again soon."
