Chapter 422 – An Unavoidable Period for the Animals
Heat.
It’s that time when animals become sexually aroused due to the secretion of sex hormones.
During such times, animals typically experience a surge in libido to the point of losing their rationality.
And this applies to the Red Dragon right now.
No matter how rational it may be, being a reptile at its core has led to it being overtaken by sexual desire.
Of course, it was behaving itself thanks to Hyeji for the moment.
“Shinwoo, wanna try asking right now? You seem to be listening well.”
“Hmm… no, it’d be tough.”
It felt a bit awkward to start a conversation.
Sure, my question wasn’t too complicated, but given the situation, I might not get a good answer.
I wanted to minimize variables as much as I could.
“What do you want to ask? Let’s go together.”
“Sorry. I want to talk separately.”
And more than anything, there were too many ears listening right now.
“Are you cheating?”
“No, f*ck.”
Originally, the plan was to talk quietly in a secluded place with just the two of us.
But looking at the current situation, it seemed like at least Hyeji had to be around.
“Master! How about we talk while giving a coin!”
“……You mean money?”
“That’s what a coin is!”
『That’s trash! You crazy b*tch!』
But paying for the conversation here was just lame.
Even if the dragon maintained its rationality when it came to money transactions.
The actual conversation content would be far removed from cash.
In the worst-case scenario, it could become difficult to maintain rationality during the explanation.
[Wouldn’t it be fine since it’s not really a transaction?]
‘Honestly, spending money just to chat feels wasteful.’
Of course, there was the option of neutering.
“Are you gonna castrate it? There just happens to be a neutering specialist in the Beastman Kingdom.”
“There are a few shops for special preferences in the original store as well. However, insurance doesn’t apply.”
“I can do it right away. Want to cut it now?”
“……Don’t… it’s pitiful…”
『Please, don’t do that!!!』
But I didn’t think that was a very good choice either.
After all, they hadn’t directly harmed us; it would be too much.
If we weren’t careful, we could ruin their livelihood entirely.
In this case, it would be hard to expect them to calmly answer my questions.
“My dear, why not look for them since you have a car?”
“It’d be tough. I think I’ve tried already,”
And ruling out the option to find the Red Dragon’s wife.
『I’ve been wandering around in my spare time, but I couldn’t find them…』
“That’s too bad. It was a chance to show off my driving skills.”
“……Stop it…”
Moreover, considering that the Red Dragon hadn’t been able to find her until now.
It wasn’t likely we would have a better chance.
Our mobility was on a completely different level.
“Shinwoo, what are we gonna do now?”
“Give me a moment to think.”
Flying around versus traveling by car made a huge difference.
“Then just do it directly!”
『M-My arms are a bit too short…』
“Rub it on the ground!!!”
“You really are a f*cking heroine.”
“Hey, fake chest. You gotta do it for me.”
“St-Stop it!!!”
That might lead some to wonder.
If we’re not neutering it.
Not looking for the wife.
And not helping with any direct intervention.
How in the world are we gonna resolve the dragon’s heat?
In that moment, a bright idea popped into my head.
And I decided to act immediately.
“Elcia, grab that lazy girl.”
“Yes! Leave it to me!!!”
“Wait a second!!! Why suddenly!!!”
The answer was surprisingly close.
“How’s it going, old man? Are you okay???”
『Ugh! That feels so good!!!』
It was none other than Dragon Kaseks.
– Bang! Bang! Bang!
『To think such pleasure exists!!! I’ve lost half my dragon life!!!』
Spencer had brought a car for the Red Dragon as a gift.
[Why are you going nuts for weird sexual desires when it was calm!!!]
‘F*ck. What will come out now?’
Used as a machine for handling sexual desire.
『Here I go! Here I go!!!!』
– Bang! Bang! Bang!
“My car is going to hell, you f*cking lizard!!!!”
Of course, it was obvious that Spencer wouldn’t just stand by and watch.
So right away, I had Elcia bind Spencer so she couldn’t move.
Thanks to that, Spencer was screaming tied up in thorny vines.
“Kim Shinwoo, you dog! That’s a limited edition!!!”
“Either way, thanks to that, I got the eggs cheap. Think of it as an investment.”
『This is gonna be cheap for me!!!』
“F*ck!!!!!!!!!!”
The sound of the car body crumpling under the strength of the Red Dragon rang out.
In tune with that, the sound of the Red Dragon moving even more violently could be heard.
At this point, that vehicle had surely become a Red Dragon’s exclusive female vehicle.
“What a fine vehicle; this is its last moment! Make sure to say goodbye!!!”
“Bye-bye, my pretty car…”
Spencer was only shedding tears at this point.
With Spencer no longer showing any will to resist, Elcia quietly released her.
Just in time, Caressy started distributing items as if to say everyone was prepared.
“Let’s head back for now.”
I took Spencer’s bag filled with the heaviest valuables.
The others got one egg each from the Red Dragon.
It was a suitable division of roles considering our physical abilities.
“Are you leaving Master behind?”
“Didn’t Shinwoo say he has something to do here?”
“If so, why not just wait?”
“You said it’s a matter to discuss privately. Let him handle it himself.”
“Did you hear the cat? Everyone, move quickly.”
We hadn’t traveled a small distance to get here anyway.
[Looks like she’s trying to show off because she got an illustration this time.]
‘……I guess she’s being considerate, crazy b*tch.’
This time, there might also be some purpose in wanting to deal with troublesome matters beforehand.
As Hyeji followed Caressy’s words and picked up a Red Dragon egg,
She suddenly kicked Spencer and shot me a fierce glare.
“If you get cozy, you’re dead, you dog.”
“……Why would I get aroused by a car?”
It seemed like she would break the egg she was holding over my head.
“You already poked Caressy, what makes you think you can’t do it to a lizard?”
“Hyeji, that’s f*cking species discrimination.”
Anyway, with that, the heroines left, and only the Red Dragon and I remained.
Not long after, the Red Dragon’s movements intensified.
And with that, I figured I would soon reach a sage time, and I could finally ask my question when…
『Darling!!!』
Suddenly, I felt a massive presence and wind pressure from the sky.
It was another Red Dragon that looked very similar to the one earlier.
『I’m sorry!!!』
Given its smaller size and slightly softer appearance,
I got the impression it was more female than male.
Considering it spoke, it was likely the Red Dragon’s wife.
The other Red Dragon was flying towards us very quickly.
In a hurry, it explained why it was away from home while live-streaming.
『I was just listening to those girls talk about the Dragon Game, and I only just realized it’s gaslighting!!!!』
The return of the Red Dragon’s wife was undoubtedly a good situation.
But at that moment, it was absolutely not.
No wonder, the Red Dragon was currently focused on relieving its sexual desire.
She didn’t seem to realize the situation yet, as she flew even faster upon spotting the Red Dragon.
With a voice mixed with tears, she showcased the characteristics of a heroine.
But her words suddenly cut off short.
『Now I’m really going to do well! -』
『Here I go!!! I’ll foolishly make an egg!』
Thanks to the Red Dragon reaching its peak at the worst timing,
Her face quickly froze in realization.
Only then did the Red Dragon, thanks to the sage time, sigh in understanding.
『Honey?』
『Oh, f*ck!』
It was already too late.
Almost immediately, her face twisted in rage,
And she opened her mouth wide to blast something out.
『What the f*ck are you doing!!!!!!!!!!』
What she shot out was a bit ambiguous to call a breath.
There was no sound, and all that appeared was a thin red beam.
But its power could definitely be called a breath.
Could it be that it had the nature of flames compressed to the utmost?
It incinerated everything in its path in an instant.
It was nothing short of a red death.
At least it was a relief that it wasn’t aimed at me.
It was simply targeting the Red Dragon, which had stiffened in place.
However, that didn’t mean the situation was improving.
With that level of power, I’d definitely get caught up in it too.
If that happened, not only would I fail to ask my question,
But I’d probably lose consciousness and suffer great harm instead.
[It seems a bit late to run away now.]
‘H, f*ck. Nothing ever goes smoothly.’
Anyway, I had to get through this situation.
First, I gathered as much starlight as I could in both hands.
Ready to use my last resort if necessary.
And I forcefully shot those small bits of starlight toward the approaching red death.
Those too moved silently until they met the impending death,
Then, with a massive explosion, they began to shatter the surroundings.
It was a catastrophic sight that could be mistaken for a natural disaster.
It could be called a great calamity created by the meeting of two disasters.
But that wasn’t the important part.
Even though I used up all the power I had,
I had stopped the dragon’s breath by sheer force.
At this level, it could be safely rated as 0.1 Hyeji.
I sank down into the ground due to the sudden fatigue,
But I was far too exhilarated to feel any tiredness.
“Fcking btch!!! If you have incontinence, wear a diaper!!!”
[You crazy bastard! What if she attacks again while you’re doing this!!!]
‘Clearly, that was an ultimate move. What can I do when my cooldown hasn’t even reset?’
Now, I was even raising my hands to mock the Red Dragon’s wife.
Anyone who saw it would undoubtedly say I was insane.
But honestly, I couldn’t help it.
I was just too caught up in the fact that I had pulled it off.
『What are you again!!!』
“Ah, f*ck.”
Before the Red Dragon’s wife shot out another beam.
[Didn’t I tell you, you crazy bastard!!!]
‘It wasn’t an ultimate; it was just a basic attack.’
In the moment of mocking, I didn’t have time to respond.
As a result, a beam struck my head directly.
“Sh*t.”
At that moment, my world briefly went dark.
