Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

Anna was startled, then after thinking about something, she hid the dessert in her basket and quickly held the basket in her arms.

She had seen the dragon's terrifying appetite before. King Gilgamesh prepared three roasted sheep for him, but he ate them all with ease.

This piece of cake must be well protected in the hands of the hungry dragon... The little girl's attitude was very firm, as if she was protecting something very important.

But in the next moment, when the hungry dragon really walked into the kitchen, Anna was stunned.

"What are you..."

She saw the torn armor and clothes on Shirataki.

There were still some scratches on his body - on his arms, face, and back, and he was faintly stained with a purple poisonous mist that Anna was very familiar with.

"Ah, I went to fight with the Ichijuu Goddess."

"Really... I knew that guy's food wasn't that good."

Shirataki spotted the remaining naan in the kitchen—it had become hard from sitting out overnight, but it felt like a biscuit to the dragon's good teeth.

"You don't need to look at me with such guilt, as if you've done something wrong to me—I know your relationship with that goddess."

"I've seen Heroic Spirits like you before. They hate their future selves, so they manifest as their children. Their dream is to kill their adult selves... And the last Heroic Spirit like you was also a dragon girl."

Shirataki did not hide the information he knew at all.

His overly straightforwardness made the little girl blush—but then, suddenly remembering a question, she hesitated and spoke again, feeling apprehensive yet a hint of anticipation.

"Well, what do you think of her?"

She asked tentatively in a tone that suggested she didn't even know what she was expecting.

The goddess who looked like a giant snake was her fully grown self, the Gorgon, the Earth Mother from ancient Greece. But at the same time, she was also a monster who had caused the destruction of countless city-states and was feared and hated by the world.

There is no doubt that she hated herself for being like that.

[It would be nice if I didn't grow up] - This was also the fundamental reason buried deep in her heart, and the reason why she was summoned to this era in her current form.

But, just in case, she meant just in case... if someone could accept and praise her in that form.

"What do you mean?"

"It's quite big, and looks pretty impressive."

"As for strength, it's okay, but not as strong as me. And you even want to petrify me with your eyes—don't you know I can resist everything?"

A fairly fair evaluation.

It’s not a matter of like or dislike. In Bailong’s world, there are only [opponents who can fight with me] and [small monsters that I will directly destroy].

And the Gorgon goddess undoubtedly belongs to the former.

In terms of overall strength, Shirataki was actually slightly stronger. However, the Gorgon goddess seemed to have been blessed by the Holy Grail, significantly increasing her power. Originally a mere [Regional] deity, with the blessing of various buffs, her power was now comparable to, or even surpassing, that of a true deity.

The most important thing is that her immortality is very troublesome.

At present, Shirataki has no means to deal with the concept of [immortality]... Maybe there is a chance to find the purple old woman hiding in the Shadow Kingdom to practice fusion techniques?

Shirataki muttered silently in his heart.

At the same time, he also noticed that after hearing his comments, the little girl's eyes gradually lit up.

Although the answers Shirataki gave were not what she wanted at all...but from his previous comments, she derived a crucial piece of information.

"You... aren't afraid of petrification?"

In order to prevent misunderstandings caused by misunderstandings, the little girl confirmed again.

"Of course I'm not afraid!"

"Have you ever seen light petrified?"

"If it can be petrified, can it still be called light?"

Shirataki patted his chest and apologized to the "Giant of Light" who existed in an unknown universe.

"That's it..."

The little girl nodded and said nothing more.

But Shirataki could feel that through the simple conversation just now, her attitude suddenly became much softer.

If there is a system, a prompt like "Favorability +10" will definitely pop up, right?

[Ding, Anna's favorability towards you increased by 50.]

[Current favorability: 60 (friendly).]

"Oh my god, it can actually improve so much?"

"She doesn't have any feelings for me, does she?"

Chapter 146 Loli is cute

The little loli's favorability towards Shirataki has increased.

However, judging from the performance, it seems that there is not much difference from no improvement.

Whether in front of others or behind their backs, the little guy remained silent and never expressed his opinions easily. At most, he would say something like "Merlin, you should just die."

——However, there are still subtle changes.

That was a behavior limited to when she was alone with Shirataki. She would take off the black hood she always wore, revealing her dreamy lavender hair.

She seemed to enjoy this gesture.

Sometimes, Shirataki would see her standing by the river, looking at her reflection in the water and grinning foolishly.

At this moment, Shirataki could finally understand how Altria felt when she looked at him - a silly little dragon, so cute!

But if there are outsiders present, she will immediately put on the black hood that reduces her beauty by half, and act as if she doesn't want to see anyone.

——No, it should be said that I dare not see people.

【Magic Eye】.

That is the power that girls are born with.

At the same time, she is the origin of the concept of "Mystic Eyes". Even as a young girl, she possesses the terrifying power to temporarily petrify those she stares at.

The one-piece robe with a black hood should be a Noble Phantasm that conceals the aura, similar to the [Helmet that Conceals Infidelity].

"He's a gentle and good child..."

Shirataki felt that he liked this child more and more.

At the same time, he was increasingly looking forward to the moment this good boy who refused to grow up would grow into a true Dragon.

——It’s not the Gorgon, that’s just a fallen goddess, a [monster].

"but."

"Can she, whose future is already determined, still do something like this?"

At this moment, Bai Long suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the mentality of Merlin, the old liar.

I already knew how the story would end.

But I still look forward to seeing beautiful things and feeling different scenery on the road to the end.

……

Time dripped along with the sweat produced by the girl as she moved bricks.

Before I knew it, a month had passed.

During this month, the two savior girls and a black slave girl used their strength to build a section of the city wall - although it was only a very short section, only about twenty meters long, they could also proudly say "We also contributed to this line of defense."

Shirataki didn't know what Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were feeling, he only knew that Anna was very satisfied.

——He even knew what was going on in this little girl's mind.

It's nothing more than thoughts like "Since it was Gorgon, the mother of monsters, who launched this disaster, I must make the defense here stronger to better protect the humans here."

It can be seen that she really loves humans deeply.

But when will she finally understand? This love for humans is the root of her transformation into a monster—love and hate always go hand in hand. The deeper her love for humans, the stronger the hatred hidden within that love.

Gorgon, Tiamat, Goetia... these were all beings who degenerated into monsters due to their love for humans.

In comparison, Shirataki felt that he was much purer.

He doesn't love humans, so he doesn't hate humans either - he just works for whoever he eats for.

He used to eat Altria's food, so he tried his best to help that ahoge realize his ideal country.

Now he was eating Gilgamesh's food, so he helped the Golden King suppress the goddesses and buy time for his final arrangement.

……

Evening.

A small "celebration" is being held in the guesthouse where travelers and heroes live.

According to Siduri, King Gilgamesh ruled the country with an extremely strict [hierarchy] - the greater the contribution to the country, the higher the rank, and the more important the tasks that can be received from King Gilgamesh.

After a month of hard work, their contributions have been "recognized" and they can be officially regarded as the "people" of Uruk.

This is exactly the reason for holding this celebration party.

The long-awaited gourmet feast gave the two girls, who had been treated as ordinary people for a month, a feeling of "finally making it through" - at the same time, in addition to celebrating for them, Siduri also brought two tasks.

"The first mission is to investigate the water quality in the Persian Gulf."

"The second mission is to go to Kusa City to find the Slate of Destiny."

"Which mission do you want to take?"

The veiled priestess asked with a smile.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance—each of them saw the answer to their own thoughts in the other's eyes:

"Everyone wants to go."

They are tired of the life of carrying bricks day after day.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to leave the city, I naturally can't wait to go and see the wind.

But faced with the premise that Siduri "can only choose one of the two", the two girls fell into a dilemma again.

If they can only choose one of the two, they would of course choose the more important task to complete.

But compared with the [Water Quality of the Persian Gulf] and the [Slate of Destiny], which one is more important?

"Master Bailong, do you know?!"

The orange-haired girl suddenly had an idea.

She didn't ask Siduri because she knew Siduri would tell her that "every task is important" - she took the initiative to ask the white dragon because she suddenly remembered that someone 5.6 had told her that "this white dragon was once a god and he knew everything."

Of course, Shirataki did know these secrets and almost never deliberately concealed any important information.

"In the long run, it is more important to investigate the water quality in the Persian Gulf."

"But at your current pace, it is more urgent to go to Kusa City to find the Slate of Destiny."

"But be careful, that's the territory of the goddess of the underworld—"

Shirataki answered seriously.

At the same time, an interesting idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Goddess of the Underworld".

Well, come to think of it, he seemed to know a girl who called herself the "Goddess of the Underworld".

And if even that guy Merlin could come here—then could she come to this era and join in the fun?
