I am hungry.
Since a while ago, my stomach has been rumbling.
“Ugh. . . I missed it. . .”
I remember when I first came to this village.
At that time, I was thinking that it would be nice if I could take it easy and get some meat.
But what is this reality?
Day after day, the repetition of harsh farm work.
The food provided is too modest.
What is this soup of vegetable scum on rice soaked in hot water!
“Ununu. . . I can’t do it!”
Shall we go to the nearby fortified city?
No, no, with this black hair and eyes.
I may be caught and imprisoned.
If I don’t do it well, I may even be burned at the stake in a witch trial. . .
(Hii. . . . .!?)
It’s scary to imagine.
Let’s not go to the city.
Shall we cross the border and go to the place called the Demon Country?
However, at present, there is too little information.
If the demon country was worse than here. . .
If I stay in this village, at least I won’t be killed, so I’ll try to maintain the status quo for a while.
I don’t mind going back to the forest, but I want to keep in touch with the locals.
. . . . .guu.
I got hungry again.
I’m hungry.
I want to eat something that fills my stomach.
As for my diet, it was better when I was in the forest.
I can eat river fish over there.
“Ah, that’s right.”
Why don’t we jump into the forest and eat some fish?
Now that I have finished the morning farm work, I am taking a lunch break.
There is still some time before the afternoon work begins.
Before Corona comes, let’s eat quickly and come back.
When I think about it, I act immediately.
I leave the simple hut that was assigned to me and look around restlessly.
. . . .It’s okay.
It seems no one is here.
“Dragon Wings!”
I spread my dragon wings and soared high into the sky.
The pure white wings reflect the sunlight brilliantly.
After all, it feels good to fly in the sky.
“The aim is the great forest! Let’s go!”
I cut through the wind and accelerated.
When I arrive at the stream, I entered the water up to my knees.
“Dragon ears!”
Kill my presence.
My dragon ears do not miss even the slightest noise.
The water splashed just slightly.
“. . . Over there!”
I move my hands quickly.
Swing my arms as if to steal the surface of the water.
“Okay! Get the fish!”
A river fish that looks like a slightly large sweet fish was in the palm of my hand.
It’s bouncing.
To me, this is a piece of cake.
I come up from the steam and prepare to cook my freshly caught prey.
Scrape the scales with my claws, scrape out the internal organs, and push a stick from the mouth to the tail.
“Well then, right away! . . . . Suuuu”
I took a deep breath.
When I blow out while adjusting, flames are blown out from my mouth with a loud sound.
“. . . Fuuuu! (. . . Dragon breath!)
It’s like a flamethrower.
Pay attention to the power of the fire and grill the fish whole.
When I finished blowing, another sweet fish (?) roasted whole was completed.
The sizzling sound is appetizing.
“Hehehe. . . Let’s go!”
I opened my mouth and bit into it.
The skin is crispy.
The texture is amazing.
The fat that oozes out spreads in my mouth, and along with the feeling of hunger, I feel indescribably happy.
“Hmm~~! The best!”
If there was salt, this would be perfect.
Shall we steal it from the village’s storehouse next time?
After eating 3 sweet fish (?), I was on my way home, soaring in the sky.
I finished hunting and eating quickly.
I still have a little time to spare before Corona rushes the afternoon farm work.
“Phew~. I’m full! I’m getting sleepy.”
Feeling full for the first time in a long time.
While yawning, I dance leisurely in the sky.
The village can be seen in the distance.
I check with my dragon eyes, but there are no people around my hut.
“Okay. Shall we go back now?”
I got down in front of the hut and quickly opened the front door.
Corona was waiting inside.
“Finally, you’re back! I thought I would talk to you. Hey, you! Where have you been! It’s already afternoon. . . work. . . time. . .”
“Ahahaha! I’m sorry. I was just taking a walk!”
It was dangerous.
I wasn’t seen flying in the sky, was I?
Inwardly, I wipe the cold sweat.
“No, no! Well, it feels good to take a walk!”
“Ah, you. . . that. . .”
“Oh yeah. Is it time for the afternoon work? I thought I still had a little time. I’m sorry, I’ll prepare right away!”
I talk fast to deceive.
She pointed at me with a blank expression.
“You. . . that. . . wings. . . are growing. . .”
“. . .Huh?”
I look at my back after it’s pointed out.
There was the forgotten dragon wings growing there.
Ah. She was caught. Is it just me or did she escape from what is practically a prison to her to get a good meal (the thing she went there looking for in the first place) just to return after eating?
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
