Chapter 22: Souji and Niji.

\=-----\=-----\=-----\=-----\=

(POV Third Person)

At about the same time, Souji meets Niji...

Somewhere in the Groen Forest, there could be a creature watching something from behind the darkness.

The creature was seen looking at a place very seriously, where in that place there could be seen five women and two men who were sleeping soundly.

The creature seemed to have only stared at them for nearly thirty minutes, before he finally began to speak.

"It seems, we get a very good catch~ Hehehehe~"

After saying that with a cruel smile growing on his face, he then began to slowly walk towards those people, unaware of something strange spreading around there.

(POV Souji)

It has been more than an hour since I decided to let Niji hug me. Where, right now I can be seen lying down and using her thighs as a pillow.

"Neh, neh, Darling~ Are my thigh pads a pleasure?" Niji then asked that in a cheerful tone, bringing his eyes closer to mine.

"I don't really know. Because, this is my first thigh pad, since a few years ago." I just replied with a flat tone.

Although I replied to her in such a way, but Niji was seen immediately smiling and started humming, with great excitement.

By the way, I just realized, if Niji is happy, or in a good mood, then he will usually start humming.

However, even more importantly, Niji's thigh pads were really very soft.

Damn it... I could be addicted, if it continues like this...

Oh yes, by the way, if anyone asks, about how I can end up lying down and using Niji's thigh as a pillow, then it's because of this...

...

[Flashback Started]

It's been almost an hour since Niji started hugging. And, from then on, she still didn't want to let go of me at all.

The moment I wanted to let go of her hug forcefully, she instead hugged me even tighter. And, because of that, now I have more than five broken ribs, as a result of that.

Even though I was aware of it, this Niji has a very unreasonable power at all. It's just, I didn't expect, that it would be that strong.

After all, with just one hug, I had already lost five broken ribs, which fortunately, I was able to regenerate immediately.

Thanks to that too, at this moment I was very anxious to protest to myself some time ago, because thanks to him raising a flag above the head of this woman, I have to experience this whole thing.

However, since the rice had become porridge, plus considering that humans did not escape from this kind of thing, so in the end, I decided to give up a little and follow where this would go.

Just like that, almost twenty minutes passed, and since no one was talking yet, so I decided to break the silence, all of you asking her to let go of this hug.

"Come, Niji... Are you able to take your arms off me?" I asked with a slightly pleading tone, as this began to make my body tingle.

But nevertheless...

*crush!!*

Upon hearing that, Niji hugged me even tighter, which definitely caused my other two ribs to break.

I broke my ribs seven times in less than an hour. Huh... What am I supposed to do now? I started to worry about other circumstances.

Although each of them did have very strong powers, but they all had problems, because they were still very naive, which made me become even more worried about them.

My eyes then continued to wander towards the blue sky above me, while thinking about it.

I could also see that Niji's eyes had somehow become very gloomy, not long after I looked up at the sky.

And, after our silence resumed for a few more minutes, Niji finally decided to speak.

"OK, okay. Alright... I'll let you go, Darling." He said that while looking directly into my eyes.

Before I could reply, this woman had already returned to speaking.

"But on one condition." I could see a cheeky smile growing on her face, at the moment she said that.

Of course, when I saw that smile of hers, I somehow started to have a bad premonition. And, since I have no choice, so I can only bet on this.

"alright. Tell me what's the condition?" I said that while starting to look at him with a sharp look.

Niji who heard that, for some reason, I could see it very clearly, if the smile on his face became deeper.

*Dak dig dug**Dak dig dug*

While waiting for this woman to speak, I could even hear the sound of my own heartbeat so clearly, which was certainly because I was hoping, if the conditions were not something that was not-no.

After a pause of a few seconds Niji finally started to open his mouth and said; "Then, Darling should let me give you a thigh pad." She was seen saying that while pointing at me, after she let me out of her arms.

Of course, I heard that, I could only look at him with wondering eyes, before I replied.

"Can you repeat, what did you want?" I asked Niji, tilting my head in confusion.

Yup, after all, it felt very strange, to be her request, let alone considering the atmosphere that this woman was emitting from her body.

However, instead of answering me, this woman pulled my head so painfully, only to lie down on her thigh, before she said; "I told you, already, if I want Darling to let me give you a thigh pad."

Honestly speaking, the moment he pulled my neck just now, I could feel it so clearly, regarding my neck that it would really feel like it would break, if only I did not concentrate all my strength there.

Goddamnit!! How could there be a woman with such terrifying strength like this!?

While continuing to babble inside my head, I eventually ended up deciding to just enjoy it.

[Late Flashback]

...

About, like that's what happened. And, because of that, I am now seen lying down using Niji's thigh as a cushion.

Then, after this silence continued for a few more minutes, I finally decided to break it down, by asking Niji something.

"Come, Niji... Um... Are you.. a Dragon?" I asked, staring directly into his eyes.

Yup, that's absolutely right. It's been bothering me, ever since this woman grew a pair of wings and horns before, which made me suspicious of it.

Moreover, in addition to the fact, if I am currently in Isekai, add logical to the question.

Niji himself, when he heard this question of mine, the woman was immediately startled, but was able to recover quickly, before he finally replied back to her.

"Yes... I-I am a Dragon. Are you gonna.. hate me now, Darling?" I could hear his tone becoming very trembling, at the time of saying that.

"Why do I hate you?" I could only ask that, after hearing what this woman had just said.

After all, even though I was annoyed with him who would have made me lose my first kiss, but ignoring that, it could almost be said, if there was no reason for me to hate him.

In addition, seeing what happened until now, I can confirm that he must have been stuck in this place for a very long time, especially considering that he was indeed a Dragon, adding to something even worse.

And this was soon answered, with him embracing me again, even though what I wanted to protest here, was the power behind his arms.

To be honest, it was hard for me to scold her, other than because she kept me reminded of my older sister, but her behavior also made this woman difficult to blame.

Wh why? That's because, in the matter I'm discussing, Niji really doesn't seem to realize it at all, which means he's really bad at controlling his own power.

Ignoring that, after Niji seemed satisfied with the hug, he then immediately separated himself from me and started looking at me with seriousness.

Of course, I got serious too, because somehow, I felt, if the thing this woman wanted to discuss was really important, which was not similar to some of the things that before.

"Sir, Darling..." Niji was seen saying that with great hesitation, which certainly made me confused.

"What's wrong?" I could only reply in confusion, which she replied shortly afterwards; "Do you want to know where we are now?"

Of course, I immediately nodded my head, for it was indeed the biggest question, the answer to which I really needed.

Moreover, considering that those people are still out there, added to the fact, if each of them can be said, never fight against a reasonable creature, he said, it made me worry about their safety.

Not to mention, the whole thing was added with a group of people with sophisticated equipment at that time, making me even more worried.

That was why, I immediately listened to every word from Niji with great seriousness.
