The Lazy Dragon Is Working Hard

“Ichiro, get up!”

Mother comes inside the room while shouting. It’s a violation of privacy you know.

“No Mom… 5 more minutes …”

“You need to wake up or you will be late!”

I’m sitting on the bed lazily while my mother forces a uniform through my head. In a half-awaken state I correct it and put it on properly.

“What about breakfast?”

“It’s your fault for waking up late. Just take a slice of bread and eat it on the way.”

“No. That kind of things is only allowed for two-dimmensional woman. Eating bread on the way to school is reserved for them.”

“Just hurry up.”

Just when I was about to leave, a slice of bread comes flying towards my mouth and sticks in my mouth. Of course it was mother.

“Haaah…. So troublesome.”

I drag my heavy legs and head off to school.

If only a meteor could crash into the school.

When I crossed the crosswalk while rubbing my sleepy eyes, I suddenly notice a truck coming my way.

I turn my head towards the traffic light and saw that the pedestrian signal is green. The truck should have lowered its speed. Maybe the brake is broken?

It will be a nuisance to avoid it. But if I don’t it will probably hurt a lot. Will I die if I get hit? If I came out disabled maybe I don’t need to go to school? Whatever. I’m sleepy…

I became lost in my thoughts and forgot to dodge. I flew in the sky like a complete idiot, accompanied by a sound that should not have come from a human body.

Ugh… It’s dark… I’m… Sleepy….

Then I suddenly wake up. Was it a dream? Yeah,  it was a dream. A dream of my past life before being reincarnated into this world, Gaia. A dream about a lazy high school student of Earth. It brings a sense of nostalgia. Mother, are you doing fine? I don’t even remember her face anymore.

“….-sama… What happened?”

“Nothing… It was just… Five years…”

“May I ask what happened five years ago?”

I have a feeling of deja vu.

I open my eyes slowly and a woman with white statue-like skin appear in front of me. The white skin contrasts sharply with her black hair, which is long enough to reach the ground. In a contest of beauty, out of 100 women, she will come out as the winner every time. Her name is Runamiria. She is under my control at the cost of my mana.

“Good morning Guardian-sama.”

“Good morning. Runamiria, how long did I sleep?”

“Exactly 20 months 37 days 15 hours 21 minutes and 11 seconds.”

Aaah… No wonder I’m still sleepy. I didn’t get enough sleep. I wanted to sleep for at least 3 years. I yawn and stretch my body.

“Huaaa..”

The wall trembles from my yawn. As I rise from the ground, I can feel strength returning to my body. I move my limbs and tails, and spread my three pairs of wings. Runamiria has a smile plastered to her face, a smile like mothers. In fact, you can even be call her my aunt in this world.

Let me introduce myself. I’m one of the seven world guardians, Ryuuga, the God of sloth. 560 million years ago I was reincarnated into this world of sword and magic as a dragon.

Yup, the lazy high school student is now a dragon.
