Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

[Please come over here, Heavy Armor Dragon, I will take you to the locker room to change clothes]

[Master Sieg is about to start training, don't get in his way here]

64. Sieg can’t understand women’s hearts

[End of the 99th test]

[Test subjects: 300]

[Remaining objects: 3]

[Do I need to refresh the test pile? 】

Several hours later, at the prompt of the simulation training system, Sieg, who had collapsed on the ground, shook his head weakly: "No, no need... Haah~~~ Haah~~~~ End of training..."

[Understood, simulation training ends here]

The three remaining middle-level dragons remaining in the training ground all immediately turned into data and disappeared. Also disappearing were the dragon corpses that almost filled the entire training room. The corpses and blood on the ground seemed to have never appeared, and turned into a large amount of data and disappeared out of thin air.

Before long, the packed training room became empty again, with only Sieg lying on the ground with his back to the sky.

99 times - this was the number of times he had tested in the entire afternoon. After using the simulation training system, the number of dragons he had killed had already reached five digits. Although they were all lower-level and middle-level dragons, they were just small fry to him now, but the huge number still made him extremely tired. Both his physical strength and magic power were exhausted.

After all, I used Dragon Flash for the entire afternoon.

However, even in this situation where his physical strength and magic power have been used up, Sieg still has a sense of emptiness and loss, or a feeling of lack of satisfaction.

(No way...)

(Even if he had achieved this, it was still not as good as the brief sparring session with Gargantina.)

This was just a judgment based on physical sensation, but in Sieg's opinion, even if he trained at this level every day for the next month, it would probably not be as good as the short period of sparring with Gargantina.

Touching his chest that had long since healed, and recalling the feeling of being kicked through the chest by Gargantina, Sieg couldn't help but grit his teeth.

(That’s what I want…)

(No matter how many lower-level and middle-level dragons I kill, I can’t get that…)

The feeling of having your hands and feet broken and shattered easily.

An attack that even seemed to be stretched to its limits in terms of regeneration capabilities.

The power to crush Dragon Flash head-on.

Even though most of her power was restricted, she was still able to overwhelm Sieg head-on. Gargantina's power was truly powerful, and it was an insurmountable chasm that Sieg could never cross at the moment. Even if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dragons were merged together, they would not be as powerful as one of her fingers.

And if he can't surpass her, Sieg will never be able to live in peace!

Only by getting closer to her little by little, and finally defeating her when she goes all out, can Sieg be sure that she will not interfere with his normal life!

(But what is that guy doing?)

The image of Gargantina naked in the smoke appeared in Sieg's mind, and he immediately curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Isn't it just that his clothes are broken? Why is he reacting so strongly? When he first started hunting dragons, his clothes would be ruined every time he fought with lower dragons. For a long time, he could only wear one pair of pants, and even had the experience of using leaves to cover his body, but he didn't react so strongly?

(I don’t understand. I really don’t understand.)

Putting his hands behind his head, Sieg let out a long sigh.

【Lord Sieg】

Just as Sieg was daydreaming and recovering his strength, Brunhilde's figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Brunhilde gently lifted her long silver-white hair that fell like moonlight and placed it over her ears, smiling as she looked down at Sieg.

[Thank you for your hard training. Dinner is ready. Please go to the restaurant.]

"Well... I'll lie down for a while and then I'll be there. I overtrained this afternoon and I still don't have much strength." Zigg nodded. "Just to ask, how is that guy?"

[Are you referring to the Heavy Armor Dragon? ]

[She has been dressed in the clothes she needs, and has been locked up in the cell of the Crimsheed, with handcuffs that limit her magic power. Although Sieg-sama has restricted her power, this level of confinement is still necessary.]

Brunhilde explained.

[Lord Sieg cares about her a lot]

"You can make chilling jokes sometimes, Miss Brunhilde."

Sieg shuddered with disgust, "I just don't understand her. It's inexplicable. If she still reacts the same way tomorrow, then I won't be able to fight her to the death again? Then why should I keep her?"

[That makes sense, so should we kill her? ]

"Let's wait and see tomorrow. If she changes, that's fine. But if she stays the same...hiss~~~Can we eat her in that state? Can she become like the lower dragons and middle dragons?"

"Why is she so angry and crazy? Miss Brunhilde, do you know the reason?"

Brunhilde shook her head slightly.

[From an objective point of view, it is indeed possible to deduce the reason for the Heavy Armored Dragon's reaction, but unfortunately, even if I knew it, I would not be able to understand it. Emotional things are of extremely low priority in the calculation of the Dragon Slayer System, let alone guessing the feelings and psychology of the dragon.]

[If this is a crucial point for slaying dragons, then the dragon slaying system will indeed focus on it, but it is not currently]

[Em-sama is more skilled in this area. You can consult her after dinner time - do you need to temporarily cancel the night training for this? ]

"Well...it depends on the situation. Okay, it's almost time to rest."

After trying to move his body and making sure that the slight remaining soreness did not affect his movements, Sieg jumped up from the ground with a somersault.

"Come to dinner, Miss Brunhilde. What's for dinner tonight?"

[20 burgers made from the meat of a mid-level dragon, paired with a drink made from a blend of 13 kinds of fruits and vegetables]

"Ms. Brunhilde, let me make a deal... Can we not drink that drink? Even protein powder can be used instead."

[No, Master Sieg is still growing and needs to be supplemented with adequate nutrition]

"......"

————————————————————————————

Inside the prison cell of the Crimsheed.

It is called a cell, but in fact it is just an empty room that has been temporarily abandoned because no one has lived in it for a long time.

Gargantina, whose hands were handcuffed, was now sitting quietly on the bed with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was resting.

"Hey~~~Are you still alive?"

Suddenly, the screen on the wall of the room lit up automatically, and Em's voice was heard.

Gargantina looked at her on the screen: "What's the matter?"

"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do? Visiting prisoners is also necessary." Em smiled, "I'm just kidding, but actually I have something I want to ask you, or...I want to confirm something with you."

"Let's talk while we eat. There should be food in the cabinet next to you. You can eat if you're hungry. You haven't eaten for more than a month anyway, right?"

65.饱尝耻辱吧，缇娜酱

Even though Gargantina had little contact with Sieg and the other two during this month, she had guessed some of their personalities.

Sieg is undoubtedly the leader. He is basically the boss of this place. Whether it is the woman named Em or Brunhilde, they basically follow his orders. But on the other hand, probably because he is still young, he will listen to their opinions more.

Brunhilde is like a housekeeper. If converted into the concept of vampires, Sieg is the king of the clan, and Brunhilde is similar to the status of a second-level dragon, managing all matters big and small on the ship called Krinhild.

As for Em...

"You seem to be interested in me?"

She was the only person in Gargantina who was on guard. Although she looked like a data keeper and had admitted many times that she could do almost nothing except talk or look up data, whether it was the binding magic or the magic absorption device, or Gargantina's collar and handcuffs, they were all her work.

Em is undoubtedly a master of magic who is proficient in several fields.

She was also the first person to take the initiative to contact Gargantina. From what Sieg revealed, the reason why she is still alive now is largely due to Em's efforts after weighing the pros and cons.

"That's it."

Em smiled.

"After all, dragons like you are rare, so I'm very interested. Besides... I want to talk more with pretty and cute girls like you!"

"...It's useless to flatter me. I will never reveal any information about the Roaring Vampires." Gargantina said coldly.

But Em just smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter whether you reveal the information or not. There are many ways to collect intelligence. There is no need to ask you questions. I just came here this time to chat with you about girls."

Girls' talk?

Gargantina frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Just gossiping! You must be so lonely being locked up here, so I'm here to gossip with you and chat to kill time. You really don't want to eat? I'm not lying to you, there's food in the cupboard, and it's not locked... But I don't know if it's expired, and your room hasn't been used for decades."

“…No need.”

After hesitating for a moment, Gargantina shook her head. "I will not eat anything the enemy gives me, nor will I answer any of your questions. Forget about it."

"Do you like your Dragon King?"

"------!"

Gargantina, who had said she would not respond to Em just a second ago, immediately blushed and reacted when she said that!

Em immediately laughed and said, "Hmm, you guessed it right? I knew it. After all, you said it before and it caused such a big reaction. Sieg and Sister Hill don't understand this aspect, so it's basically impossible for them to think of it. But I'm different - Oh my, I didn't expect that you, little Tina, already have someone in your heart."

"You, you you you..." Gargantina's cheeks were flushed, and it took her a while to calm down her inner ups and downs.

(Anyway, there’s no one else here, and Lord Bagram can’t hear me, so I’ll just…)

"Yes, yes, so what?"

"Yeah, it's a good thing to admit your feelings. But judging from your appearance, you haven't ever expressed your feelings to him, have you?"

"How could I possibly do such a thing!"

Gargantina shouted out immediately.

"Lord Bagram is our king! How dare I...how dare I..."

“Oh my~~~”

Listening to her voice that suddenly became weaker like a cliff, Em rolled his eyes and said, "Well, I think I understand now. It's the plot of [a very ambitious king and a loyal but arrogant female subordinate]. It's a classic combination."

"Eh? W-what? What did you say?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I was just talking to myself. It's a code word in my circle. You don't have to know it." Em waved her hand. "No wonder you reacted so strongly before. You're already old, but your mental state in that aspect is like that of a little girl... But it seems a little cute, right?"

(…What is she talking about?)

Gargantina suddenly couldn't understand what Em said. Although she could understand every word, when they were put together it seemed like some kind of special code, which made her confused.

"——So, let me guess what you are planning now, little Tina."

Em's words interrupted Gargantina's confusion.

"Are you planning to slowly accumulate your magic power, and then escape in one go when you are allowed to release your power during training with Sieg? Hmm?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent~~~"

(Found out... That's right, it wasn't a secret plan in the first place. Judging from the current situation, all my actions and thoughts seem to be under their control.)

After taking a deep breath, Gargantina said coldly, "Are you going to tell on me?"

"How could it be~~~ You don't need me to tell you about this little trick, Sister Hill will tell Zig herself. And what I want to say is - do you really think you can go back?"

"......What's the meaning?"

"The binding magic on you, and the collar around your neck. The latter is easy to remove by chopping off your head. After all, it's no problem for you upper dragons to regenerate after losing your head, right? But the former... do you think it can be removed?"

The corners of Em's mouth curved into an arc that could be described as sinister and despicable, and a wicked smile appeared on her face.

"That is a mark that will accompany you for the rest of your life. It is proof that you were captured by us, became our prisoner, and were exploited by us day and night. If your beloved Lord Bagram saw this, I wonder what he would think~~~~"

“You—!” Gargantina’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “I won’t let Lord Bagram see this. Absolutely not!”
