I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 60: Apples

"Emhhh... hungry... hey come on I've been walking long enough, there's no way there's no food here?" I said while holding my stomach.

"Well, I have to be patient maybe there's food ahead."

I've been through this forest long enough, but I haven't found any food I can eat, my feet are even hard to walk.

"Aghhh take a break." I said while sitting under a tree.

"Hey pretty flowers, do you know where there's food?"

"..."

Ah... am I barely sane? it's just a flower of grass.

Slowly I sat under the tree and lost my tiredness and tiredness, I thought I asked the grass flower next to me, not eating for a few days might almost make me lose my mind.

Hehehe...

"Who is that?" I said while looking to the side.

"Who's there?" ask someone in front of me.

When I closed my eyes I suddenly heard the woman's laughter again from a direction beside me and it was true that far in front of me there was someone standing looking at me, but I could not see her face and body clearly because there was a bright light from the sun blocking my view.

"Eh! what's he saying?" I said while standing.

The woman pointed in a direction while saying something to me, but I couldn't hear her voice because of our considerable distance coupled with her slow voice, I could only see the movement of her lips and it wasn't too obvious either because she turned to the side.

"Eh! wait!!"

.

.

.

"Wait-wait!! huhh huhh huhh... k-where did he go?" I said with a breath of breath.

I then ran towards him and with a breath of breath I reached the place where he was standing before to take a closer look and wanted to ask what he had said to me earlier, but by the time I got to him he had gone missing somewhere.

"What did he actually tell me?" I said while returning to my breath.

"Hm... Is there any message he wants to give me? if it's not wrong, he pointed that way."

.

.

Since I didn't manage to meet him I then went in the direction where he showed me his hand, it's possible that he wanted to ask me something or wanted to show me something important, the woman looked so mysterious she appeared and disappeared just like that.

"Hm..what's there the place she wants to show you... woahh!!! that's lake!!"

I continued to follow the direction indicated by the woman until I finally arrived at the end of her forest and saw a large green lake and there were several mountains visible behind her, it was the lake I wanted to visit earlier when I wanted to get out of the labyrinth, I didn't think that the lake would be that big.

"Bahhhh!!! it's a lot bigger than the one in the labyrinth, but I didn't think it would be this big." I said as I stared at the lake.

This lake is surrounded by a fairly large grass and the forest is a little far from the edge, too, I could even see the entire shape of the lake and in front of me at this moment or rather on the outskirts of the lake was a single tree that was quite large standing firmly.

"The tree seems to be bearing fruit..."

And it also seemed that the tree was bearing fruit because I saw that there were flowers and also small fruits among the leaves.

Bruck

"What's that?" I said while looking for the direction of the source of the falling sound.

As I was observing the tree by the lake I suddenly heard the sound of a falling object beside me, out of curiosity I then found out where it came from in the forest bushes, judging from the sound of the object was not too big because I heard his voice quite close.

"If it's not wrong it's from here." I said as I walked through the forest.

"Em... What is it?"

...

"Waaa!! it's apple!! but wait... does the apple really have a green pattern like this?" I said while holding a fruit.

"Yahh... who cares maybe this is the apple of this world hehe, and importantly this can be eaten.. aaa... ehhh!!! a-there are b-many apples." I said as I looked up.

After looking around here and there I finally found the origin of the falling sound which turned out to be a red apple with a green color, the pattern, even when I wanted to eat it my eyes accidentally looked up and saw that there were so many apples hanging on the trees, maybe because it was fruit season.

"Woahh!! I'll take this one and this one. owh! this one too. and there.." I said as I plucked the apple.

.

.

"Hehehe.it looks like this time I'm going to an apple party." I said while sitting under a tree by the lake.

"Hm.. It looks like this is also an apple tree.. woaa! there's one ripe fruit...yahh plus one more no problem?"

Seeing that there were a lot of apples hanging over me and then a little bit of flying and then picking as many as I could, after quite a lot I then go back down and bring it under the tree on the edge of the lake to be able to relax while enjoying the beautiful view of the lake.

And it turns out that the tree near the lake is also an apple tree, but the difference is that there is no pattern in the fruit is very different from the apple I previously picked, this one apple looks more normal than the previous one and because there is one ripe fruit I then pluck it and put it in the collection of apples.

"Yahh.. time to eat.. aaa..mm..."

"Aekhh!.. p-bitter k-why can apples be this bitter?" I said while spitting out my apple bite.

When I bite one of the apples somehow the apple tastes very bitter it tastes very different from apples in general, I even immediately vomited out the apple bite because I couldn't stand the bitter taste.

"If I had known it felt this bitter, I wouldn't have picked it this much." I said while looking at the apple.

"Hm.. it seems that the apple that has the pattern is not an edible fruit. Then what about this one apple." I said while holding a red apple.

Since the bitter taste I ate came from an apple that had a complexion I was sure that it was an inedible fruit, it was so bitter that I could not even swallow it, I then took one red apple I picked from the tree by the lake to try the taste, whether it was as bitter as the patterned one or not.

"Well let's bite." I said, pointing the apple in my mouth.

I slowly stuffed the red apple into my mouth and bit off a bit of it just in case my tongue was numb to the bitter taste of the fruit earlier.

And unexpectedly the apple had a very sweet taste in contrast to the previous apple which almost made me spit out all the contents of my empty stomach, even the bitter taste was still imprinted on my tongue.

"Hiks hyks.I finally found a decent meal." My words are a little moved.

"Well, then, hiks. good-bye."

Citt Citt Citt

Hm... squirrel?

"What's the sweet squirrel? do you want this?"

Even squirrels know good food and what not ("___)

The moment I wanted to give the apple a second bite, suddenly a horned squirrel jumped down from the tree branch above me and sniffed at the patterned apple, but he did not eat it and instead approached me staring at the apple in my hand.

"Hm.. yahh. I don't think it's a problem to share a little. It's for you squirrels."

...

"Take care of yourself, cute squirrel." I said a little while waving my hand.

Since the squirrel looked so eager to eat I then split my apple into four pieces and gave one of the pieces to her, after I gave it to him the squirrel jumped up and went towards the forest carrying the apple piece.

"Yahh come.. aaaa..."

Citt Citt Citt

"What else is a squirrel?"

Uh! wait for the color to be a little different, is this another squirrel? y-yahh squirrels are not just one in this world.

Just like before when I wanted to bite the apple suddenly another squirrel came down from above and came up to me and also sniffed the patterned apples that were in front of me, but he also did not want to eat it and instead stared at my hand.

"Do you want this too?" I asked that squirrel.

Citt Citt Citt

"Then this is for you sweet." I said while giving her my apple.

I returned to give him a small piece of the rest of the previous squirrel, the squirrel ran straight through the grass towards the forest and then disappeared among the green trees, now the apple in my hand is only half a part.

"Huhh..quietly there is still half a part..."

Citt Citt Citt

"Ahh...what else is a cute squirrel?"

Why so many squirrels here... ">_<

"You want this too?"

Citt Citt Citt

"So that's it. hiks. i-this is for you." I said as I gave the squirrel a piece of apple.

.

.

"S-I'll see you squirrel... hiks hiks...aghh!! why am I this? why am I too good hiks hyks. anyway I will not give this last piece to anyone, as funny as it is, whatever the appearance, will never."

Like before when I gave him that piece of apple he immediately went through the grass and ended up disappearing in the forest, now I am concerned about myself and blame this too good kindness.

From the one sweet apple that existed before only a quarter of the remaining portion in my hand, I will keep that last remaining until the last moment.

"Aaaa.. uh! wait up! I have to pay attention to the surroundings first." I said while holding tightly to the apple piece.

...

"Yoshh no squirrels here."

Citt

"Yeah!!!"

Brukkkk

I held tightly and hid the piece of apple and because I didn't want anyone to take my apple anymore I then noticed the circumstances around me especially the circumstances around the forest because the squirrels were coming and going from the direction the forest, but this time there were three squirrels coming up to me.

It was a shock that I accidentally hit my head on the tree trunk hard enough, but I still did not release the apple from my grasp.

"D-wh...! d-where'd you guys come from?"

Citt

"No! it never will! you guys just find your own food this apple belongs to me and I will never give it to you.. aa!!! Uh!!"

"Hey!! that's mine don't go!! hey!!"

I kept holding the apple, but suddenly one of the squirrels bit my hand, to my surprise I let go of the apple and was finally carried by the squirrels into the forest, although I had wanted to chase after him, but the squirrels had disappeared from my sight into the forest bushes.

"Why is my nadip so bad? hee.. haa... hiks hee... haaa!!! SIRA!!!" call me while whining.

"What can make the remaining hyx that is only a bitter apple is a hyx, after all I picked it." I sat back and wiped my tears.

"bitter... Bitter... hiks.. bitters." I said while biting the apples.

Unable to catch up with the squirrels, I sat down under the tree by the lake and ate all the bitter apples I had picked up before, even though I really did not want to eat them, but since I've picked it up I don't want to waste it even though it tastes bad and is very bitter.
