I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 28: The Treaty of Goro

I woke up earlier than usual today, how could I? it was because I heard the sound of the ground shaking and the big leg pounding, that sound really shocked me to the point that I woke up from my sleep, the sun was not even up yet.

"What's that?!" I said while opening my eyes forcefully trying to see the area around me.

"Master!! uh! what's wrong with her?!"

"Sir, are you okay?! mister!" call me worried.

The master rolled around and occasionally seemed to squirm moving his large body, I continued to call out to him with worry but no answer at all, it made me even more afraid and worried about his circumstances.

Ah that's why, why I didn't realize that, it's a common thing to happen to dragons.

Soon I noticed a crack in his scales and slowly started to peel off,

master is changing skin that thing that often happens to dragons and the like, I often see that.

"Thank God, then, I think this has something to do with that guy, but it's not."

"Yahhh, I'd better find breakfast so as not to bother you."

I then went to leave master to look for food, I didn't want to bother him anymore it made me feel bad about him.

I didn't want to leave the master too far so I just walked down the forest rim to find prey, not long after I saw a little Salamander monster behind a tree, he said, slowly I scouted it and sneaked closer to it, after getting the right position I then pounced on it quickly, instantly the monster died from my fangs piercing through its neck.

"The easy prey." I said while breaking his neck so that he would really die.

I quickly devoured it without the slightest residue, when compared to the food given by this master was indeed smaller but in accordance with my portion of food, overeating is also not good for you, you'll be lazy to move.

Finished with my food I then returned to the master's place, he seemed to have finished changing his skin, the master's scales shining brightly like a pile of diamonds when exposed to the morning light.

Uh...! master sleeping again?! let him maybe he's still sleepy.

"Beautiful morning." I said as I sat looking at the sunrise.

"Good morning." Said sir.

"Good morning, sir." My legow

Long enough I sat down enjoying a quiet morning master finally woke up from his sleep and greeted me as usual, hearing his greeting I also said good morning to him, but he looked shocked looking at his surroundings especially that skin.

What's wrong with sir? he looked surprised.

Slowly the master began to look at me consciously with his gaze I asked him, the master then revealed the thing that made him confused and asked me about the skin beside him.

Why would he ask that? how could the master be unconscious with that, shouldn't he be releasing his skin consciously.

This situation confused him who wondered but instead I was confused, when the master released the skin he looked awake from his sleep, he rolled and roared as he occasionally scratched his body to remove the skin, so how could he not be conscious.

I slowly explained to the master about the skin as well as how he had released it, but it seems that the master was still a little confused by it not only him, but also me, too, to be honest I am still confused by the state of the master, he is filled with mysteries that are difficult to understand.

He then prepared some food and put a piece of meat in front of me, but I refused it because I had eaten, master then pulled the food again and ate it all right away, it didn't take long for him to finish all of those meals, the pile of meat just looked like a small portion to him.

"Get Sira." Said sir to me.

Ah drat... I don't want to hear that phrase.

It's terrible if only it wasn't the master who asked me I would definitely reject it outright.

The master seemed to be wanting to hunt for food so he asked me to go up on his stage so that I would not be left far behind and not have any trouble chasing after him, I'd rather sit by his horn that's the perfect place to hold on.

"Gentlemen, if you can't get too high, hehehe." My love for him.

"Let's just not be too high."

Slowly the master began to take a swing and then flick his wings and increase the height of his flight, yes this is not too high according to him who is large while for me who only looks like a small mouse when compared to him, he said, it's so scary, not that I'm afraid of heights but I'd rather set foot on the ground than in the air.

"T-T-sir can we fly a little lower?" I said a little trembling.

"Let's just like Sira, we'll be there soon." His mouth was calmly happy.

The tiger shouldn't be up here.

"I wonder if falling from up here could make me die?" I said slowly while occasionally staring down.

The master looked very happy with his flight, but not with me as usual I held on tightly and with my eyes closed.

Before long we finally reached the destination at the entrance of the labyrinth we had previously passed to get out, the master directly landed his body and asked me to come down, once again luck was still on my side.

"I'll finally find you." Say someone to us.

"Hey Sira what's wrong with her? did something happen to that girl?" worriedly, the master asked me.

"A-a. yeah, wait, sir let me ask."

"Sorry to trouble you, Sira."

"Goro's? what the hell are you here for? did something happen to the princess?" I asked Goro who seemed to be waiting for us.

"No, he's fine." Legally.

"Then why are you here?" kuwaku.

"In accordance with the agreement we made, I came here to keep my promise to you." The answer.

"However as a knight I never reneged on my promise, so you may take my life as payment for helping me and saving the princess." With a clear face.

"Promise? oh that one..."

"What did he say, Sira?" ask mister to me.

How am I supposed to say it, I never told you about the deal, hehehe will he be angry?

"What did Sira say? hurry up don't worry me, did something happen to the princess?"

"The princess is fine sir."

"Why did he come here?" continued sir asked.

"E-ee. ano like this, sir, he came here to lay down his life in return for the covenant that ki." My answer is a little nervous.

"covenant? I never agreed to any agreement... Sira what did you say to her?"

"E-ee.. aaa.. ah right! it was just a test for him sir, yes a test! I want to test him first whether he means it or not, moreover we don't know if he's a good person or a criminal, that's all so that we don't take advantage of sir." My words make excuses.

"Don't make up an excuse Sira! I don't like being lied to!" Said the master a little angry.

"A-aa. forgive me, sir!"

Seeing that master was angry, I immediately apologized to him I did not want to get into trouble with him, and it made him angry with me, and again it was my fault for making a pact beyond his knowledge.

"Once again forgive me, sir."

"Hohhhh.. yahh what to do, because it's already done."

I survived, thankfully, sir, a forgiving man.

For a glance I thought that master would kick me away from him, but it turned out to be enough, today luck really is on my side.

"W-will you eat it sir?" ask her a little awkwardly.

"Where might I do that, she is the princess' bodyguard if I kill her what about that princess's nippy?!"

"Y-yeah right too, she is a very loyal person serving the princess, if she is not there maybe the princess will be in danger."

"So, how's mister? what are you gonna do to him?"

"For now just tell her that I'll put her off and tell her to protect the princess until I see her again, maybe that's it and next time never do that again! it makes me look like a bad monster!"

"B-good sir!"

"Hey suck! my master said he would delay eating you for now protect the princess with all your soul and body, my master will collect his promise and payment later when we meet again, so prepare yourself to be more worthy of food and stop expressing yourself like that, you're pathetic!" I said to Goro.

I said that a little harshly without lowering my pride it would be a shame if he found out about my problem so I kept talking as usual.

Hearing my words Goro just fell silent into confusion still with his pitiful face.

"Sira let's go." Said the master starting to improve his body into the labyrinth.

"Good sir."

"Thank you." Goro said to us.

"Stop looking at us like it sucks, be thankful that you're still giving yourself a chance to live for a little while longer."

"Surely. once again thank you."

I then followed the master into the labyrinth and left Goro in front of the entrance.

"I WILL WAIT FOR YOU MASTER!!!" yelled Goro loudly.

"What did he say Sira?"

"She said she'd wait for you sir."

"Ooh..so yeah..."

The master then turned his gaze towards Goro and threw something at him,

"Tell him it as a gift from me and proof of his agreement, it just reacts with my power not with the others."

I then said what the master said to Goro and then we continued our journey into the labyrinth in tandem.
