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

"Maybe, but do you think this is really okay? Obviously, your body has been seen by others, and there are scars on your body that can never be erased, but in front of your lover, you can only try your best to hide it from him, deceive him, and still package yourself as the person he knows, and package yourself clean when you are actually already filthy~~~"

Em leaned forward, a wicked smile on her face.

"Do you think this is really okay? You are the second rank of the Roaring Blood Clan, but you have to keep deceiving your superiors and subordinates. Do you really think this is an act that can highlight the pride and dignity of the Roaring Blood Clan?"

"Little Tina~~~"

【the wicked】

This is Gargantina's current inner evaluation of Em.

"You... despicable and shameless person..."

"I don't deny that. After all, I used to be in a high position, and there were people around me and under me who coveted my status and power. If I hadn't been ruthless, I would have died long ago~~~~ Although now I'm basically no different from a dead person!" Em put on a very cheerful expression.

"I just want to emphasize to you again - don't think that you have gained freedom and hope just because you are released. The only choice before you now is to obey Sieg's orders. You are still a prisoner captured by us. You have no human rights on this ship... or you can say you are a slave of the Dragon Power."

Gargantina: "......"

The second-level dragon of the Roaring Clan could only offer silence and a glare that had no effect at all. If looks could kill, then Em would definitely be dead now... No, she was already dead.

"Good! Very nice look! Thank you for the treat!"

After enjoying Gargantina's eye attack with a slightly red cheek, Em licked her lips happily: "Not bad~~~ That's it for now, I'll come to harass you again later, bye~~~"

"Oh, by the way, if you don't want to be harassed, just accept your fate. I don't want to be the bad guy forever~~~"

66. Are you planning to commit murder?

The abandoned room called the cell fell silent again.

Gargantina's face was filled with anger and resentment, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation was rising and surging in her heart.

(Why......)

With her fists clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, Gargantina lay back slightly, staring at the ceiling in a trance.

(Bagram...your Excellency...)

(Am I really...really qualified to see you? Am I really qualified to come back to you?)

Even though there was only anger, even though there was only humiliation and hatred in her heart, Gargantina had to admit that what Em said was not wrong.

No matter how powerful she had been, no matter how proud she had been of her origin, she was now just a prisoner of the lowest status, a captive. Her whole body had long been branded as a loser, and today she was forced to wear a collar that was equivalent to a symbol of slavery.

She is no longer a second-level Roaring Vampire.

Is she really, really, really qualified to return to the vampire clan, return to Lord Bagram, and take on the second-level position again?

(Lord Bagram certainly wouldn't care about this, and the same is true for others, right?)

Gargantina was very clear about the situation of the Roaring Vampires. Even if she returned in disgrace, her vampires would not reject her. Moreover, after what she had experienced this time, the entire Roaring Vampire Clan would instead regard her as someone who needed full protection and would do their best to give her the best shelter, right?

The Roaring Vampires are just such a group of vampires, and the Dragon King that leads the group must be the same.

But as Em said, even if her compatriots and her vampires didn't care and still accepted her as they had before, could she really accept it with peace of mind?

(I know...I should have known it earlier...)

Gargantina closed her eyes.

(I already... no longer have the qualifications to go back.)

(I can no longer return to you, to you, as my old self... Lord Bagram.)

Recalling the image of the Dragon King whom she served in her mind, Gargantina bit her lip hard, and a faint light appeared in the corners of her tightly closed eyes.

----------------------

In the database.

After finishing her chat with Gargantina, Em lightly kicked the table and slid out with the chair using the reaction force.

"Hmm~~~~ This should be 30%... No, about 40% progress, right? Considering her personality, this level shouldn't be a big problem. If I harass her three or four more times, it should be around 60%."

"Ah, I haven't done such a mean thing for a long time. I'm a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. Is it because I lived a pure love life with my wives for too long when I was alive?"

Although Em is a woman, she once had many wives, and she fought for all of them with her wholehearted devotion and hard work. She had sealed away all the despicable means she was using to deal with Gargantina.

Relationships should be based on mutual affection. A forced melon is not sweet.

The reason why they are returning to their old business now is, on the one hand, for the security of the Crainhild, and as I said before, even with many restrictions there is no complete guarantee that Gargantina will not blow up the ship, and the impact of gravity magic on the spacecraft cannot be ignored.

On the other hand, it was to satisfy her own little hobby, and also for the future of Sieg.

(That kid is very capable, but he is still not grown up. If growth is like climbing a mountain, then at best he has just started from the foot of the mountain.)

(In the future, he will surely meet many people who are much stronger than him. His extraordinary regeneration ability cannot be used as a real trump card. If he wants to grow up smoothly, he still needs a bodyguard.)

Gargantina is a very good candidate.

She is capable enough and good-looking. Having her around not only makes you feel safe, but is also pleasing to the eye.

(That guy doesn’t seem to be interested in women. If Tina were to be with him, he would probably have a sour face 24 hours a day. I really need to find a way to change this.)

Among all the Dragon Slayers, Em was the only one who had no obsession with Dragon Slayer. She was more curious about dragons and wanted to study dragons. In the end, the reason why she signed the Dragon Slayer System was because she was full of curiosity about the vast universe.

If all her wives had not died of old age, she would not have become what she is now.

(So, the next step is...)

"Miss Em, you're here."

At this moment, as the door of the data room opened, Sieg walked straight to Em.

After kicking the wall and sliding back behind the bar, Em smiled and said, "What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I guess so. It's about Gargantina." Sieg nodded slightly. "Ms. Em, do you know why Gargantina reacted that way this afternoon?"

"Eh?"

Em opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Why are you curious about this?"

“Because I don’t understand.”

"Don't understand?"

"If possible, I'd like to try training with Gargantina tomorrow, but if she's still like she was today, I'll just feel distressed and annoyed. So I want to try to understand what she was thinking and why she reacted so strongly at that time. If I pay more attention, maybe I can train with her normally."

Sieg said seriously, "I asked Miss Brunhilde, and she said she couldn't quite understand it either. You know a lot about this, so I came to ask you right after dinner."

(Sister Hill...what a great assist!)

Em gave Brunhilde a thumbs up in her heart!

She was just worrying about how to teach Sieg some common sense that a man should know, when Brunhilde pushed Sieg in front of her - a godsend opportunity!

"Well... it's simple, but it's also complicated." Em smiled mysteriously. "Before that, let me ask you a question, Sieg. What do you think of Little Tina?"

"Damn dragon."

"...I'm not asking you about that."

Em held her forehead and said, "Although Little Tina is a dragon, she looks no different from a human now, right? What I want to ask is, regardless of the fact that she is a superior dragon, how do you see her? Do you think you can get along with her normally?"

"If you want to find out what you want to know, you have to start with this problem first."

"this......."

Listening to Em's words, Sieg couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Is it possible to get along well with Gargantina while ignoring the fact that she is a dragon?

"Well... probably... no."

"why?"

"I can't ignore the fact that she is actually a superior dragon. I feel extremely uneasy just imagining sitting with her. Miss Em, are you serious about asking this? You want me to get along with someone who can easily kill me and is always preventing me from living a good life..."

Sieg took a half step back.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

Em: “…”

At this moment, Em really admired Sieg's magical thinking process.

67. Super Alloy Straight Man

The next day, early morning.

"Jingle Bell!"

As the bell rang, Gargantina woke up from her sleep, slowly opened her eyes, and looked in the direction of the bell with some dissatisfaction.

At the door, Brunhilde turned off the ringing alarm in her hand.

[It's already morning, Gargantina, I've prepared breakfast for you. After you finish washing up, follow me to the dining area.]

breakfast?

Gargantina was a little surprised: "...I actually have breakfast?"

[It is what Sieg-sama meant]

(What does that kid want to do?)

Frowning slightly, Gargantina stood up from the bed and walked to the sink in the room. After seeing herself in the mirror, Gargantina subconsciously touched her eyes.

The corners of the eyes are red.

(Am I...crying?)

(When did I become so fragile?)

A second-rank upper dragon would actually shed tears because of his current situation? What a weak and cowardly performance, it is really——

"......wrong."

Turning on the tap and splashing cold water on her face, Gargantina sighed softly, "I'm no longer a heavy armored dragon... I'm fine, lead the way."

【that's all? 】

Instead of leaving immediately with Gargantina, Brunhilde walked into the house and questioned her coldly.

[It seems that I was negligent. The living habits of dragons are very different from those of humans. I should have realized this earlier. Please sit here and open your mouth. Since you are going to dine with Master Sieg, you should at least keep your mouth clean. At the same time, it is too harsh to wash your face with cold water.]

"Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing!?"

Seeing Brunhilde walking towards her with a brush that was filled with unknown objects, Gargantina immediately took a few steps back with a look of vigilance. However, the room was so small that she was soon caught by Brunhilde and pressed against the sink.

[Don't move around, otherwise even a soft toothbrush can cause damage to your mouth]

Brunhilde said this and thrust the toothbrush directly into Gargantina's mouth.

“Mmmmmmmm——!!!”

The strange feeling and the choking coolness made her scream immediately!

......

Ten minutes later.

Dining area.

"...What's going on?"

Seeing Gargantina being brought to him with a look of despair on her face, Sieg, who had just gotten up, couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Brunhilde, what did you do to her?"

[It’s just that the Heavy Armor Dragon is very resistant to brushing his teeth and washing his face, and he is even reluctant to comb his hair, so I have to use some coercive measures, Lord Sieg.]

"I see - upper dragons don't need to brush their teeth or comb their hair?"

"Who knew you humans had so many rules!"

Gargantina recovered in time and yelled, "You actually poked that thing in my mouth, and there was that sticky foam... Ugh~~~~!"

Recalling the taste of that thing called "toothpaste", Gargantina couldn't help but dry heaving.
