The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
The Seventy Five (75)

"Good meal. May it suit your taste, Princess."

A middle-aged woman with light green hair and having transparent purple eyes smiled kindly at Stella, while a servant presented her a plate of pasta noodles. The thick aroma of chili peppers is smelled, mixed with red powder that coats the noodles of the paste. Obviously, this is a paste with a high degree of spiciness.

"Yes." Yeah."

Staring at the pasta noodles, Stella was speechless. He clapped his hands inwardly as he shed tears, admiring the creativity of the Nidlock family.

'I know now the weather is cold and snowy. But I didn't think that they would serve spicy food which definitely made me sweat a lot. Awesome.'

Flicking her hand, Stella scooped up the pasta noodles and stuffed them into her mouth. And sure enough, the spicy taste that burns the tongue immediately feels.

'Ah, I need ice.'

Although Stella had expected it over and over again, but still the ice-filled cold drink was not on the dining table. There's only water there.

'I knew then I should have asked for another meal earlier. Huhuhu.'

―――

"So, starting tomorrow we'll do a search. There's a rumor that a giant animal is protecting the place."

"Hm, it turns out so. Then we need an army of war witches."

After finishing lunch, Stella is taken by Lilith to the room she will be staying in while staying at the Nidlock family home. Lilith took him for a walk in the garden of her house, but Stella stopped walking when she heard the conversation between the count and his wife, who were sitting in the living room.

Lilith, who saw the princess stop walking, asked, "What's up, Princess?"

"St! Speak slowly" Stella replied while hiding on the wall separating the living room from the living room.

Lilith also hid beside Stella while looking at her father and mother who were chatting, then looked at Stella and smiled seductively.

"Oho. I just found out that Mr. Princess is eavesdropping. Hihih."

Lilith, who spoke as innocently as possible and blatantly, did not know that her speech pierced Stella's conscience.

'Why is it on target?!'

"where possible. It's called listening."

"But while hiding?"

"This is called self-protect."

"Pffts. The Princess's face is very funny."

"I know, so shut up."

"Okay, okay."

Despite saying so, Lilith still giggled beside him, making Stella snort a little, then she ignored Lilith and focused her attention on the couple.

He put up his ears well, filtering out every single piece of information they talked about. It is possible that among the information, there is news that the royal family is looking for him who is "disappearing" in the eyes of everyone in the palace.

"But are the rumors true?"

The countess asked her husband, putting on a thinking posture. His expression looked worried.

"What if a giant animal really exists in that place?"

The count, who saw his wife's anxious expression, was also worried. He could not bear to tell the facts about the rumors to his wife, but on the other hand he did not want to hide anything from his beloved woman.

"Actually, the rumor does exist."

With a heavy heart, Count recounted his experiences while in the Aros Mountains.

"Ten years ago, when the Blue Crystal Fruit first grew, I went with my father to that place. But back then we didn't know that anyone was guarding the fruit."

"Then what happened?"

"From the snowy underground appeared a giant purple ice spider. His body was completely made of ice."

"Yes God! So the rumor is true?"

"Yes. I also heard from my father that twenty years ago another giant animal also appeared, a giant bird with ice feathers as white as snow."

"So, this time will also appear a giant animal like ten years ago?"

"Looks like. It used to grow Blue Crystal Fruit, then now circulating news that it grows is Red Crystal Fruit. I don't know what kind of animal protects that fruit."

"In that case, call for help quickly. Our troops alone are not enough to handle the animal."

"Calm down, baby. I've called for help. They'll be here soon."

"I wish I could help, but I have to keep Lilith here. So, please be careful while you're there."

"of course. I'll be home safe."

While the couple hugged each other, the hiding Stella immediately set a strategy in her head after hearing their chatter.

The Red Crystal Fruit, which grew in the Aros Mountains, was the only way it could undo the eye and hair-changing magic embedded in Stella's body. So at any rate, he had to get the fruit, even if he had to steal the fruit from the Nidlock family.

'Let's go tomorrow.'

The teleportation magic from Barbiel that made Stella switch places in an instant would only last for two days, so the time was not much.

'But, giant animals? Is it as big as an elephant or as big as a dinosaur?'

Thinking about the animal, Stella tried to imagine how the definition of a "giant animal" in this fantasy world, after which she nodded her head a sign of understanding.

'Maybe as big and violent as T-rex. That's sure.'

―――

'I knew it was a fantasy world dominated by magic. But....'

Stella stared blankly at the giant animal in front of her, which had a body so large that the word "giant" was not enough to describe as large as the animal.

His body was filled with sharp scales and was shiny like shards of glass with a jet black color. Those deep blue eyes were staring at him sharply, his pupils were streaked straight like a cat. The tail is very long and large, and do not forget the pair of wide wings located on both sides of its body, resembling the wings of a bat.

'Should the legendary mythical beast, the dragon, be here?!'

Stella never imagined that the giant animals that people in this world meant were larger animals than dinosaurs.

'Crazy ones. It's insanity. So crazy!'

He blinked blankly, after which a gust of hot breath came out from the black dragon's muzzle, smashing into Stella's small body like a storm.

Swoooshes!

'Ah, yes. I just remembered that there are other areas inhabited by demons and fairies. The word "impossible" does not apply in this world, so the appearance of dragons will be considered ordinary.'

Stella smiled stiffly as she recalled the explanation from her magic teacher, Azalea, about the Atrevido Continent.

How great is this world!

This is what we call a world without limits!

Let's clap!

'OK, okay. Enough.'

Stella banished useless thoughts from her head, then stepped back silently.

'Better to run away than fight with this dragon! The fruit is in my hands anyway.'

However, the dragon, who was aware of the movements of the little human in front of him, snorted and spoke.

"Where are you going, heh?"

Glug.

Stella's body automatically became stiff as the black dragon in front of her spoke very casually. Then she immediately smiled sweetly.

"You run away."

"Step over my body first."

'Eh wait, the dialogue is not foreign.'

"Here you are, you rancid boy. How dare you steal my fruit."

A cold sweat immediately dripped down Stella's back like a waterfall.

His encounter with the black dragon started from a week ago when he traveled to the Aros Mountains in search of the Red Crystal Fruit.
