I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 78: Something in the Morning (Kiely )

"C-quick!! w-we should be able to survive this place." I said to my two colleagues.

"HAHAHAHA do you think you can run away from me?!! never will!! even all those lousy people are dead and the rest are just you HAHAHAHAHA..."

.

.

"Huh huh huh.. i-this is impossible! I-we can't take it anymore..."

"Hold down you must be strong we must not/"

"Meet... HEHEHE."

"Great!!"

It is true that we should never have followed this mission...

...*****...

...[ Four days earlier, the city of Dielth, the capital of the kingdom of Ammonia ]...

"Hoahhh!! it's too early, why are you taking me for a walk?" I say to my friends.

"Hehehe. but we don't want to queue for long for that soft and tasty milk apple pudding." I said Ellia to me.

"It's true hehehe, yesterday we didn't get the apple pie because the queue was too much." Luna Sahut.

"But should we go so early? my feet are still heavy to walk."

"Of course, if it's too late the queue will be long again."

What afternoon...?! it's still dark...

I'm Kiely 18 years of my job just a florist at a florist shop helping my mom, but even so I also work side by side as an adventurer even though I am not too with a fight against monsters or street bandits, I became adventurous just because I wanted to find out and find different types of flowers from different regions and bring them to my shop.

Blinded that even the sun had not yet shown this light, my two best friends, Ellia and Luna, who were also my neighbors, came to wake me up from my beautiful sleep, taking me for a walk in the cold, gentle morning dew, having good friends like them was a fortune but, it was also a challenge for me because I had to get up long before my time, let alone my mother always letting them both in the morning blind.

With heavy feet I continued to walk the two of them down the streets of the capital still wet with morning dew water going to a small shop where they could get pudding and pie, he said, but honestly, this is really still very early in the morning even though so there are many people who pass by doing activities outside the home preparing to go to work according to their work, even I could hear many footsteps and people talking to each other on the side of the road.

"Hoahhh.. eemhh.. cold." I shivered while holding both my hands.

"Calm Kie when we get to that place." Luna told me.

"But Luu it's still very early in the morning, I'm sure the place isn't even open yet."

"Yahh, who is fast he can hehehe." said Ellia.

The morning air pierced into my bones especially last night has been raining heavily and just subsided this morning, he said, it made me lose my spirit to walk, I would rather lie down on my soft bed and warm blanket than walk in the cold air like this, very different from those who look so eager to get their favorite food.

"Hey come on, we can ask Zoe to leave us some."

"Never will! did you forget what he said yesterday?! he said he would save some for us but, he didn't do that right!! he sold it all out." Luna was a little sulky.

Ahh.. It's all your fault Zoe.

"Oaahh, I still want to sleep."

"Hehehe, I'm sorry Kie." Ellia

.

.

.

"This is the place." I said Luna with a smile.

In the middle of the road wet with rainwater I complained a little about my current state of being stuck with these two very excited friends of mine, having to get up and walk to accompany my friend who was constantly calling and banging on the door of my room was really very pleasant. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

The distance of our house with the cake shop was only about one kilometer, so it did not take long for us to get to the place and after arriving in front of the store

"Well..why did you come so early?" zoe said in surprise as she walked out of the shop.

Who was that person who came out of the store with that shock? yep he's Zoe boy the same age as us who is also the son of the owner of this cake shop, he's the one who runs his family business selling cakes and other desserts even though this store is small, he's the one who runs his family business selling cakes and other desserts, but the food here is quite in demand and in demand by people especially for people who are looking for sweet desserts.

And he is also the one who has made my situation this way, because of the false promises he made to us yesterday when we took pains to help deal with his customers, but he didn't leave a single one for us and instead sold everything he couldn't even make it for us because yesterday the ingredients had run out as well, but even then he had a lot of crude bombs on his face.

"Yoo Zoe how are you?" I said greeting him while pulling the seat.

"Yes I'm good/"

"Where's my pu ding!" I said Lia cornered Zoe on the wall.

"Lie, relax."

"Silent?!! after your lies took advantage of us yesterday..we will not let you off the hook...where are our pies and pudding?!!" I said Luna while pulling Zoe's neck.

"T-quiet me first, i-it's still very early I haven't even prepared one/"

"You're not lying, are you?!!" luna looked her eyes hard.

"No no no no. I'm not lying, hurry away and get too close." said Zoe while trying to keep her face away from Luna and Lia.

...

"Huh huh huh. they... dangerous.." said Zoe quietly.

I heard it was '________I heard that•

"Be careful if you lie again." Lia told him.

While pulling the chair from under the table I sat down by putting my head on the table trying to sleep back even though it was impossible, as the three of them were very noisy with the debate, she said, Lia and Luna cornered Zoe on the wall making her unable to move as her neckline was being held by Luna, who was holding her, they actually lectured him because of his actions yesterday and after being satisfied doing that Luna and Lia then released him and allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

After releasing Zoe the two of them then took a seat near me then sat down a table with me while still giving Zoe a sharp look.

"Aren't you going to scold me?"

"You'll only be happier if I do that, because when else can you get that close to three women."

"Woy woy woy! it's as if I'm not popular with women." He said somewhat offended.

"Am I wrong?" ask her.

I was quite upset with him, but I didn't want to go along with scolding him because I was quite satisfied with hitting him yesterday afternoon, although he seemed regretful when Luna and Lia spoke this morning I could guess the contents of his mind, I am sure that Zoe really likes and enjoys it because when else she can be that close to beautiful girls like Lia and Luna especially her face is only a few centimeters away from the two of them.

"Of course it's wrong, I'm a popular guy among women" he said while styling his hair.

"Stop it, I almost threw up looking at it."

"That's disgusting." Luna agreed with me.

"It's absolutely right." Connect Lia.

"E-hhhh am I that bad." He said with a black cloud on his head.

"Let's just relax, Zoe, I'm sure there'll be a woman who thinks you're valuable." I said as I sat down with a little encouragement.

"Hahh. yahh but, you're the only woman in Kie's heart. I love you so much Kie." He said while taking my chin.

Cup

"Eh! "

" ... " " ... "

Aaawhat is he doing? no no no this is impossible, did he really say that? does he really like me? there's no way I should calm down...

"Stop that, your seduction won't work on me and don't kiss me at will!!" I said to shake his hand while returning my head on the table.

Aaaa!! how awful! how's this!!

"That's right Zoe your actions are disrespectful." Luna spoke up.

"Then you guys wait a minute, I want to open and tidy up my shop first.

.

.

.

Uh! she's staring...

"Ugh! cold." My words distract me by shivering in the cold.

I was so stunned and speechless with what Zoe did to me luckily I was able to calm myself down quickly and hit her hand that was holding my chin, he did things I never thought of before I admitted he was very brave to kiss me on the forehead in front of a lot of people and because of that I had to put my face on the table to cover my heated face, he was handsome and brave, but his confidence almost made me explode.

After successfully making me wrong, he then went into his store to prepare to open it while I, Luna, and Ellia waited to sit at the front desk of his store, still half-awakened at the thought of the previous incident, since the front of the store was already opened from the outside I slightly peeked at Zoe who was inside her shop from behind my hand, but unfortunately she realized that I was watching her so I quickly turned my eyes to look at Luna and Lia by acting like cold.

"This morning it was very cold." Sahut Lia's.

"Maybe it was because it rained last night." Connect Luna while holding both hands.

"You'd better get in, it's cold outside." Zoe invited us to come in.

.

.

"Ahh. This feels warmer." Said Lia while sitting down.

"Yahh, this is very convenient." Luna Sahut.

Being out here is so cold I even keep rubbing my palms to get a little warmth, likewise with Lia who also rubbed her hands and put her palms on her cheeks while Luna just hugged herself while occasionally blowing her palms, because the light of the morning sun is blocked by cloudy clouds that have not lost the atmosphere in the city really feels very cold.

I was always mediocre with her and treated her just like everyone else, and vice versa he also did the same thing because we have been friends for quite a long time since I moved and settled in this capital city together with my parents, he said, but honestly after the incident I felt uneasy when I was nearby as if something was stirring inside me because only this time he told me that.

"This is for you, please enjoy." Zoe said with a smile looking at me.

Don't look at me, don't look...

"Owh! is this Zoe?" ask Lia

"Well that's just plain porridge I cooked more, it's perfect to reduce the cold." Answer Zoe.

"Ah.. The tea is very warm." Said Luna while drinking her tea.

"Is there no warm chocolate?" I asked him while staring at the tea in front of me.

"Just eat your porridge before it gets cold, I'll prepare it in a minute." Answer me with a smile.

"Y-yes thank you." I said while looking back.

From the kitchen Zoe came to us with porridge and warm tea and then put it in front of us, warm porridge is suitable to eat when the day is cold like this, but my head was already warm enough for Zoe to keep looking at me until she finally turned her face towards Lia who was asking, while Luna was enjoying the warm tea and porridge.

I then ventured to look at her and ask her about the warm chocolate, but it was hard to do that I dropped my eyes back into my hands under the table, after Zoe answered me slowly she went back to the kitchen and once again I could breathe with relief.

"Hey Kie do you like Zoe?" ask Luna.

"Ohuk..."

"Wahh. it turns out to be true." Said Lia responding to my cough.

"What are you saying, I-I don't like it." Answer me while turning my face away.

"Heummm...really...?" lia asked with a strange look and smile.

"T-of course." My answer.

"Don't lie, Kie, we've been friends for a long time, so we know when you're lying hehehe." Luna.

"B-lying, so you think I'm lying?! not at all." I said as I ate all my food.

Hearing Luna's question suddenly made me choke on water while drinking my tea coupled with Lia's spontaneous response made me blush more and do little refutation, she said, because I also did not know what I was feeling and because of their increasingly strange gaze I then ate my porridge greedily until it ran out as well as my tea I finished all my parts.

.

.

.

"Hm... is it over? eat fast too, Kie."

"Z-Zoe k-when were you there?"

"It's your chocolate, after this there's something I want to talk to you about." He said as he placed a cup of warm chocolate in front of me.

"W-what's the matter?"

"Take your drink first, and I'd like to talk to you alone." She glanced at Luna and Lia.

"Ow looks like we're a little annoying here hehe." Luna said while looking at me.

"It's really hehehe." Lia covered her mouth.

"Aaawhat do you mean? you guys don't bother at all." I said a little nervous.

Uh! my chocolate is over!! how's this!!?

Zoe came back from behind me and immediately served the warm chocolate I had asked for before, then he invited me to speak together after I was done with my chocolate he also glanced at Luna and Lia like he was hinting at them, as if understanding with his gaze Luna and Lia spoke as if they were a bully of a moment, while I was still downcast and because I was nervous I did not realize that I had finished the chocolate drink.

"Yoshh. It seems like it's time we go Lia."

"Hehehe ookeh." said Lia.

"What are you saying? I'm coming/"

Bukk

"Gee!"

"You wait here Kie." Zoe told me.

"Ya Kie you better wait here hehehe." Luna Sahut.

"But hey Zoe what you're doing get out of the way." I said trying to push Zoe's body.

"Hey hey where are you going? wait for me." My love for them.

"We'll wait at the city fountain bye bye." Sahut Lia while going to run outside.

"Wait!!"

Since Luna and Lia seemed to want to leave I then stood up intending to follow them, but unfortunately Zoe hit the table and blocked my path with a smiling face while asking me to stay here, so does Luna who doesn't mind me staying here.

I tried to push Zoe who was blocking my way, but her body did not shift in the slightest like a sturdy pillar that could not be moved anymore, I then asked Luna and Lia to wait for me, waiting for me, but they left immediately after saying they would wait for me near the city fountain and now it was only me and Zoe who were inside this shop that even I was almost cornered on the wall very close with fireplace.

"W-what are you doing Zoe I want to go, get out of the way l-don't get in my way."

"If you want to go outside then why are you walking backwards? it's not the door there."

Bukk

"W-what do you want to do. you." I said slowly while turning my face away.

Zoe kept walking towards me with that smile of hers and without me noticing I was also following her footsteps and walking backwards so that she would not come any closer, but moments after I had been cornered by her beside the fireplace, Zoe then slapped her left hand against the wall to the left of my face making me unable to see the exit of this cake shop, I immediately turned my face and closed my eyes, my heart was pounding not daring to look at him because our faces were so close I could even hear his breathing clearly.

"Only one.." he said slowly while taking my chin.

Cup♡

"I've always wanted to tell you this, since seven years ago when you first moved to this city I couldn't look away from you at all... you're the only woman who makes my heart beat so hard when I look at your face.I keep trying to get close to you and say how I feel, but I'm always nervous and don't dare to face you..." He said slowly while looking into my eyes.

"I realized that I didn't have the guts to do this long ago, but I didn't want you to belong to anyone else and so I'm going to tell you this... if I love you so much, Kie.. do you want to be my lover?" continue biting my ears.

"Well!!♡"

After cornering me, Zoe lowered her left hand and grabbed my shoulder and pulled my chin to look him in the eye, I fell silent while looking at her as she wished and after getting my gaze Zoe immediately took my lips gently kissed me, a while later Zoe stopped her kiss and looked at me and told me how she felt I didn't know how else I just fell silent and looked at her dumbfounded with a reddened face.

Not long after he said that to me he then switched to bite my ear and to my surprise I immediately made a little sigh also my legs that began to feel weak, and to my surprise I immediately began to feel weak, this is the first time anyone has done this to me and this is also the first time I've done it, Zoe is the one who got all the first things for me.

"What's your answer, Kie?" he said softly to me.

"I'm me..."

"I don't know what to do, I felt the same way you did when you saved me from a criminal chase six years ago, my heart was pounding and my heart was turbulent, but I am confused about how to deal with this, whether this feeling is true love or just mere admiration.." I said my feelings.

"So so yes." he said while looking down a little.

"But, I don't mind that, 'cause you're the one I admire."

"Who does that mean." he said looking me in the eye.

As I said my reason Zoe just fell silent and lowered her gaze down with a slightly moody look of her eyes, I was a little doubtful as to what I felt whether I felt only admiration or right was indeed a feeling of liking, but I still agreed and accepted it as a person who deserves my heart to the fullest, he said, I don't mind whether what I feel is love or admiration because for me it starts with awe.

...

"Yeah!!! ahahaha.I love you Kie, I love you..."

"H-hey put me down Zoe."

Hearing my answer Zoe then raised her face again and looked at me with her eyes that looked really happy, I just smiled back at her question because my answer was clear enough, Zoe immediately picked me up and circled around happily, but because I was afraid of being thrown I asked her to put me down again, I didn't want our relationship to be in trouble because of that.

"Hehe.. sorry I got carried away/"

"T-wait don't y-that's it..."

.....

Plakk!!

"Say I'll stop that enough! don't you dare fuck or I kick your face."

" ... "

"I'm leaving..."

When Zoe apologized to me I hooked my hand on her neck and kissed her cheek she looked surprised when I did that, but a moment after that he made me lean my body against the wall and then we resumed that delayed kiss with passion.

But it was a pity because he got too carried away and almost touched something he couldn't have, I then put a little five-finger red mark on his face for him to stop, as a woman I have to be good at taking care of myself even though the person I like is my own friend, and after doing that I went straight from the store leaving her still dumbfounded by what I had just done to her.
