Chapter 42: 3-second rule

\n \n"Human child..."\n \nClavis-san, Sophinie-san, Karim-san, and Lilith.\n \nAs I hugged my new family, voice descended from

the sky again.\n \nWhite Dragon is staring at me.\n \n"I told you long ago, human child. You

should grow up among humans....."\n \n"Yes."\n \nI turn to White Dragon.\n \nI remember what White Dragon said when I first

met him, and he broke my curse.\n \nI also remember exactly what I said.\n \n"You said 'I'm scared'. Do you still have

that fear?" \n \nI shake my head and deny it.\n \n"No."\n \nAnd I look back once again.\n \n"Now there are people who welcome me as a

family. So I'm not scared anymore. "\n \nI felt like White Dragon laughed a little when I

said that.\n \n"It looks like you've met good

people."\n \n"Yes, it's the best family."\n \n"Hmm. Then ----"\n \n"Please wait, White Dragon."\n \nIt was Karim who stopped him.\n \nHe steps in front of White Dragon.\n \n"What is

it, Hero? I don't

need words of gratitude."\n \n"That is one thing, but I would like to ask

you one question. What is your relationship with Luciel-kun? What on earth

happened?"\n \nThe moment he asked the question, the previously

calm expression on White Dragon's face suddenly turned grim.\n \nThe killing intent that has been gone until now

swells up, and he shows his fangs at Karim-san.\n \n"I'm sorry if I offended you. You were so

angry at Luciel-kun, but...... Just now you looked at him like a father. I was

wondering what the reason was."\n \n"Hmph! If you want to know, ask Luciel!

It's all his fault."\n \n"Luciel-kun, did you cause trouble for

White Dragon-san?"\n \n"Tell us the truth. Depending on the case,

I may have to apologize too."\n \nSophinie-san and Clavis-san step forward.\n \n"No, it wasn't really a trouble."\n \nOr rather, that sad incident.\n \nIt happened about 170 years ago, just after my

curse was broken by White Dragon.\n \n◆◇◆◇◆\n \n"Hou... I want to try to eat dragon

meat."\n \nIt was White Dragon who said that.\n \nIt was about 50 years after I ate Dragon Grand's

meat.\n \nMy body was just beginning to age, much older

than my father was when he abandoned me.\n \n"Are you interested?"\n \n"White Dragons eating dragon meat isn't

that cannibalism...\n \n"If you say it is delicious, I want to try

it."\n \nApparently, he does not even think of it as

cannibalism.\n \nHe is a White Dragon, but he is still a beast. Unlike

humans, I guess the hurdle for cannibalism is low.\n \n"So, do you want to try it?"\n \n"Can I eat

it? But there is no

dragon around......."\n \nWhite Dragon looks around, but there is no

dragon in sight. In the first place, White Dragon is a divine creature. He is

also known as the celestial dragon.\n \nHe seems to be feared by other dragons, so no

dragon dares to approach him.\n \n"Isn't there one right here?"\n \nI look up at White Dragon then, stroking my

beard.\n \n"Are you going to eat yourself?"\n \n"You don't like it?"\n \n"No, it's

interesting! You

should try it."\n \nI thought he would refuse, but on the contrary,

he asked for it.\n \nI don't understand the ethics of dragons because

they are so different from humans'.\n \nIt would be difficult to even understand them in

the first place.\n \nSoon after, we decided to cut White Dragon's

tail.\n"Gently and slowly."\n \nWhite Dragon is already half crying as he

extends his tail.\n \nHe clutched his hand tightly and put strength

into his legs.\n \nHe looked like a person exerting himself in a

toilet bowl.\n \nThere is no sign of the enthusiasm he showed in

the beginning.\n \nI chuckled a little, thinking that dragons can

feel scared too.\n \n'It's okay. I'll cut it off in an instant ----

or rather, I've already cut it off."\n \n"Gyaaaaaaah!! Blood! The

blood is aaaaaah!!"\n \n"The one who was struggling with a lot of

blood a moment ago is not panicking. Now, [Recovery]----."\n \n"That's unnecessary."\n \nA new tail came out from White Dragon's wounds.\n \n"How's it looking?"\n \n"The color has changed a bit. The scar is

still there, but......"\n \nIt's a sign that the other scales have

deteriorated over time.\nIt's okay. It will adapt itself in time. But

more importantly..."\n \n"Yes, yes. I get it."\n \nI immediately started preparing and cooking

White Dragon meat.\n \nI let the meat rest for a little while. Before I

knew it, it was already night.\n \nUnder the bright moonlight, I slowly grill the

meat over low heat using a teppan made from an iron ant's shell.\n \nWhen I grilled it, the color became more like

meat. Because of White Dragon's blood color, it looked more like a big Muscat

than meat. After being heated, the color changed.\n \nIt turned a light brown like beef and started to

look more delicious.\n \nThe white fatty part is also plump and tempting.\n \nAbove all----.\n \nJiwawawawawawawa...\nGreat sounds that remind one of cicadas' chorus

in summer.\n \nThe smell of roasting meat mixed with steam

tickles my nose.\n \nThe mellow aroma that smells like melted butter

makes it hard to keep my face from smiling.\n \nIt seems that White Dragon feels the same way.\n \nI heard something fall nearby, but it turned out

to be White Dragon's drool.\n \nWhite Dragon's body is so gigantic that even a

drop of his drool is huge.\n \nI grill a block of steak evenly. Of course, the

steak must be grilled properly on all sides.\n \n"Is, is it cooked already?"\n \nWhite Dragon is losing his patience and swallows

his saliva.\n \nIndeed, it is about time. But this is my first

time eating White Dragon meat, so I want to grill it a bit longer.\n \nBut if I keep White Dragon waiting longer, he

will go berserk.\n \nIn fact, his tail that I cut off earlier is

wagging violently.\n \nIt slaps the ground as if it is stamping on the

ground in frustration.\n \n"I can't! I can't wait any longer~! I'll

eat! I say I'll eat, I'll eat it!!"\n \n"Calm! Calm down, White-san."\n \n"Fugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"\n \nFinally, White Dragon snaps. He reaches for the

meat on the teppan.\n \n"Ah! Don't! It's still hot!"\n \nI tried to stop him, but it was too late.\n \nWhite Dragon picked at it with his claws, but it

still ----.\n \n"Hoooooooooooootttt!!!"\n \nWhite Dragon screamed.\n \nSee what you did there?\n \nIt turned out just as I had warned.\n \nIt was fine until White Dragon suffered from the

heat.\n \nThe tragedy has just begun.\n \nPlop.......\n \nI heard a despairing sound.\n \nI noticed that the steak had fallen to the

ground.\n \nBut it isn't just on the ground.\n \nIt fell into a pool of blood that White Dragon

had spilled and then decorated with mud.\n \n"Ah...."\n"Ah...."\n \nMy voice and White Dragon's voice were

overlapping at the same time.\n \nBut there is no time to hesitate.\n \n1 second, 2 seconds, the clock is ticking.\n \nI pick up the steak covered in blood and mud and

hold it up.\n \n"Sa, safe. 3 seconds rule, if I wash

it...."\n \nI see myself smiling awkwardly in White Dragon's

sharp eyes.\n \nSoon after that, his rage erupts.\n \n"Don't screw with meeeeeee! My, my, my

steak is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"\n \nThen years passed without White Dragon ever

tasting dragon steak produced from the tail he bravely sacrificed.\n \n
