I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 27: Changing Skin?
"Hooaahhh. good morning." I said excitedly.
"Good morning, sir." Sira told me.
Sira woke up earlier than me, she sat quietly while staring at the blinding sunrise, the morning dew drops were seen forming a very beautiful rainbow.
"Ahhh.a refreshing morning air." I said while stretching my body.
"Eh...! what'sthis?" I said in shock and bewilderment as I stared at something that looked like transparent clear scales.
this thing wasn't here before, where did it come from?
I was a little confused by what I saw and wondered what it was.
.

"What's up, mister?" ask Sira.
I slightly glanced at Sira who was sitting next to me, seeing me looking at her unknowingly making her ask me for the response of my puzzled look.
"Ano... Do you know what this thing is, Sira?" ask her.
"Eh...! didn't you realize it? that's your own scales, sir." The answer.
"Whatchu mean? my scales?!" ask him once more.
" ... "
"Y-yeah.you just changed your skin a few hours ago, master even you slightly rolled around letting go, that's the former place you rolled, sir."
Slowly Sira explained everything to me and even pointed to the place that was in front of me, yup very right if remembered - it was indeed my bed last night, I rolled quite far away.
Hmm.. So this is my side... wait! so I can change skin?! I change skin? it's true that the lizard can change skin, but why am I only realizing it now? even before this never happened.
But if you remember before I also saw this on the eighth floor when I woke up exactly like this time.maybe because I was the only one late to wake up, yahh... let it also mean I'm a healthy lizard, a healthy dragon.
"Are you okay, sir?" ask Sira to me.
"Y-yahh. I'm fine, just a little wonder, hehe." I replied.
.
.
.
I looked back at Sira with a puzzled look accompanied by an oddity.
"What's up, mister?"
"Yahh... Look Sira, is your body shrinking again?"
" ... "
Sira just fell silent while looking at me strangely and also confused, if in hindsight it was indeed a silly question so naturally she was like that, she said, but to be honest he looks smaller than usual and that makes me very confused.
"It's not like I'm getting smaller, but your body is getting bigger, sir." He answered while looking at me from top to bottom.
"Me?"
If not wrong this has happened before, but why yes...? is this growth normal? but. yes, life here is also not exactly normal...
Kriukk... Kriukk...
"Ukhh, it seems like my stomach should be given an answer, while for my large body there is no need to think about."
Right now I am engulfed in considerable confusion, but quickly all those confusing questions turn into hunger, ok very hungry.
Luckily I still had a few pieces of snake meat stored inside my Dimension Home, it was a very useful magic, I learned it from a group of people a few years ago.
Right now I can bake differently than I was when I was a kid who only ate raw meat and also because there is another option other than to bake it, I can't cook under these circumstances.
Fortunately my front legs had already changed shape into arms even with their creepy claws, I could at least hold something properly like never before.
"Yeee... it's ripe." I said with pleasure.
"It's for me and it's for..."
"No need, sir."
"Eh...! don't you want to eat?" ask her.
"I've eaten, sir." she replied.
"Ehhh...! when do you eat?"
"Before you woke up this morning, sir." Answer it politely.
It turned out that Sira had eaten before I woke up happy to hear it, I thought she didn't like eating with me because I was too greedy, hehe.
"Well then, good-bye."
"Emm.. good." Saying ease.
.
.
.
"Thank you for the food."
It didn't take long for me to finish all of that food, all of which I did perfectly, with nothing left but the bones of the snake monster, it was a pity that the huge snake was only enough for two meals, hehe.
All my supplies are up I should hunt for lunch later.
"Sira." My words called out to Sira who was lying down enjoying the morning air.
"What's up, mister?" Legally.
"Well, we're going to the labyrinth." Continue while lowering my wings.
I asked to go hunting to the labyrinth, why don't I search in the forest? the answer is just one search out here is not as easy as looking in there, for some reason I find it very difficult to find prey out here, but I feel there are many monsters around me, but I can't find it, it sucks if I have to go to a dark, cold, damp, and gripping place like a labyrinth.
But, inevitably I have to go there, this is for food, again for food, and also the labyrinth is my home sooner or later I have to go there, although I really like being out here, but honestly the scenery inside the labyrinth is also not inferior to the ones here, these two places have their own specialties.
"What's the matter Sira, are you sick?" ask her.
Slowly Sira began to walk up my wings and as usual she stopped near my horn to hold on, but I felt something strange about Sira's footsteps it felt like she was walking with heavy, trembling steps, making me ask her out of worry.
"T-T-nothing, my master is fine." His words were somewhat stammering.
"Are you sure?"
"Y-yes. sure, sir."
"All right.." I said, turning my face away.
After asking him I then flapped my wings and flew towards the door of the labyrinth that I had previously passed through.
The morning air was indeed very refreshing, the grains of dew flew by the wind from my wings, the morning sunlight made my bright white scales look sparkling reflecting its warm light, I was so happy to see my side shining brightly it felt so happy.
I really enjoyed this morning's journey with joy, long enough to fly to enjoy the morning scenery of me and Sira finally arrived at the entrance of the labyrinth.
"Eh...! who's that?" I said wondering while looking at someone who was standing alone in front of the labyrinth door.
I then landed my body quietly in front of the person who turned out to be Goro the bodyguard who had previously asked for my help to save the princess from rebellion.
Why'd he come here? could something happen to that girl?
