I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 66: Exhausting or Painful

"Protect yes..."

I guess not only will monsters be aggressive if they want to protect something valuable, but all living things in this world will definitely be like that, I will definitely act like that.

"But what does he want to protect? there's nothing here." I asked Sira.

"Let's know, lady, there's not much I know about this monster."

"So, what is he protecting?" I said as I stared at the turtle.

I can understand his feelings of wanting to protect something, everyone will definitely protect something that is very valuable to him more than himself, he said, but one thing that puzzled me a little was that there was nothing precious that I could see in this place there were only trees, grasses, lakes, and mountains far away in front of me.

"Maybe he wants to protect his territory.or maybe he feels threatened by something." Sira answered looking at me.

" ... "

"What's wrong, miss?"

"Oi Sira! do I look threatening to you?!"

With a slight lowering of my face I looked at Sira while on my waist and slightly annoyedly asked her.

"Very." Sira said softly while turning her face away.

"Well! what are you saying?!" I said while looking near Sira's face.

"T-no miss b-not anything he he hehehe."

The huge monster was still sprawled on the ground and could not move at all the sound of its breath could be heard very clearly in my ears, while looking at the tortoise I had a little chat with Sira while thinking back about her situation.

And for some reason when Sira said the word threatened she instead looked at me as if I was the one threatening in this place, I could accept that the turtle wanted to protect its territory, she said, but her next word and expression while saying that offended me a little.

"Hmmm!"

What's it protecting? is it just because it is threatened? duh! I-I can't think this really hurts so much!

Turning my face away from Sira I tried to endure the pain that had been gnawing at my body, I folded my arms and tightly gripped them until my hands bled slightly from the claw of my own sharp fingernails.

I did look angry at him, but it was just a transition so that Sira would not be suspicious of me.

"Are you okay?" ask Sira.

"I-iyahh." My answer.

"Are you sure? you sweat a lot, miss." Sira was a little worried.

"Do I look suspicious?!" I asked while staring a little.

"T-no miss. sorry to doubt you miss."

I might be able to deny my pain, but my body can't lie to what I feel right now I can barely even move, she said, every time I move at that moment the pain will be more pronounced.

I felt a little guilty to Sira because of my actions she seemed very worried about me, but I lied to her and was also angry with her.

"No problem Sira, I'm very healthy and fresh in shape hahahaha." I folded my hands while laughing.

Crusty krik krik krik

" ... "

"A. ha ha.. yahh...! then what if we heal this turtle hehehe." I said while patting the head of the turtle.

Aaa! it's a shame. huhh calm yourself down. I'd better treat this turtle.

"Good."

Wellh those are the words of the game hehehe.

Without lingering again I touched the muzzle of his head and then used healing magic on the turtle, it was enough that I felt pain in this place anyway I was still able to use my magic power, he said, so I treated him.

And also I want to know what exactly the monster is protecting to the point that it attacks me, even though I know all the monsters will definitely attack whoever is in front of it, but this monster looked very different especially in terms of Sira's previous explanation.

"Yoshh. finished, now it's just waiting for him to wake up." I said as I rubbed the head of the turtle.

"Hm.. about how the dragons are. ahh..."

And also very painful.

Finished treating the monster I stroked it a little and then sat leaning on its huge head while trying to calm myself down, the breath sounds of the tortoise were already sounding calmer than before and the glance at it reminded me of the dragons as I treated them in my ruang dimension.

"Huh huh huh.. hot!" i breathless.

"Heal. ah. is useless." I said quietly while trying to treat my pain.

Ah.. This is bad, I should have been more careful.

My body temperature increased, making my heart beat very fast in the hot sun, burning my skin, plus the sweat that soaked my clothes.

I really had trouble moving my body limp and numb my entire body was completely overpowered by pain, even healing magic was useless to me.

"This is miss." Sira said while handing over a glass bottle containing drinks.

"Thank you Si.../."

...

"It doesn't matter miss. I still have a lot." Sira said while taking out one casket of drinks from her storage room.

Sira came to me while carrying and giving me a bottle of drink straight away I received it because I was in need of a drink for my throat that felt dry, but when I grabbed the bottle I accidentally dropped it.

My fingers were too numb to hold something, Sira even seemed very astonished when she saw me, but I returned her astonishment with a slight smile to reduce her astonishment.

"This lady please drink."

"Thank you Sira."

Hm... milk?

Not wanting to drop my drink for the second time I then grabbed the drink using both hands, Sira seemed to just nod a little at me as I thanked her, there still seems to be a sense of wonder from within Sira's view towards me that's a reasonable right for conditions like this.

"Eh! wait a minute..is not all the food has been stepped on by this turtle?" I looked at Sira.

"The first time the tortoise attacked I had time to pick up and insert a chest containing drinks into the storage dimension of the lady." Sira Obviously.

"Oh so that's it. hahh."

...

"Whaaahh! it's so sweet, where'd you get this Sira?"

After successfully taking the water bottle I then immediately drank the water in it and as expected it was milk, indeed, it was so sweet that it still left a taste in my tongue and throat.

I was a little confused by the water because I had seen the tree and all my food had been stepped on by the turtle monster, but it turned out that Sira had secured the milk crate shortly after the tortoise made its first attack.

"I bought it from a merchant who happened to be passing by miss."

A dealer? maybe I can get the kitchen stuff from there.

"Owh! Guess what that merchant is still around here?"

"S-it looks like she's gone, miss, and the street is a long way from here."

"Ehh! I want to buy something. huhh..."

"What can I do next time." I said slowly not excited.

Instantly I immediately seemed excited when I heard the word merchant coming out of Sira's mouth because I knew the merchants must have the goods I wanted, especially I wanted to buy some items and kitchen ingredients to cook something, but my spirit immediately faded because the merchant was gone and my desire only became a wish.

"Let's just relax, lady, there's still time another day."

"Yes, I think so..."

.

.

.

"Eh! i'm asleep.. wow! he's up."

"Good afternoon, miss." Sira said hello to me.

Due to exhaustion and also my pain never disappeared I slowly fell asleep while leaning on the head of the giant tortoise, I don't know how long I've been asleep I feel there's a pretty big vibration from where I'm leaning and it turns out it's a turtle monster trying to get back up.

"Yes, sorry Sira." I said with a slight smile to Sira.

"It doesn't matter, miss, you need a break anyway." Sira Sahut.

When I woke up the sun had started to sink and left an orange sky glow among the leaves of the trees, still sitting I stared at him in case the turtle monster still wanted to attack me.

"It seems he no longer intends to attack us." Sira continued while looking at the turtle.

"It seems so."

The tortoise looked extremely beautiful with many crystals shining into the twilight sky, the tortoise just stared at me without showing any sign of wanting to attack.

Deg

"Miss!"

...

W-why.... still not lost?

When I wanted to stand up suddenly my legs felt weak and unable to stand for a while I immediately fell down with my knees because I could not support my weight, he said, I clasped my hand tightly against my chest while feeling the pain I was feeling right now.

Blepp

"Eh! what's this?!" I said as I looked up at the head of the turtle.

"Disappeared?! how can?!" I said slowly looking at both palms of my hands.

The moment I was downcast from the pain all over my body there was suddenly a drop of water that was far above my head, more precisely a large drop of water because almost my entire body was immediately wet because of that and somehow instantly the pain I felt instantly disappeared.

Immediately I looked up to find the origin of the water droplets and it turned out that it came from the eyes of the turtle, he said, he was the one who had shed his tears over my head and removed all my pain at this moment.

"Thank you."
