“I’ll make you my contract partner.”
[Breaking News] While on a hellish date with my friend, a dragon acquaintance told me to spread my legs.
(What the hell is going on!? How did it come to this!?)
Why do only guys keep coming onto me, you idiot! Jade doesn’t swing that way!
“Ha, what’s wrong? Are you nervous?”
Van says this as he unnecessarily brings his annoyingly pretty face close to mine.
“Well, relax. It’s my first time too. No need to worry about diseases.”
That’s not what I’m worried about! Also, stop casually saying ‘first time’ in human society! You don’t just announce your virginity so confidently!
“Hey, say something. I’m talking to you. You should be honored and start crying. Now, strip.”
(Wow, he’s so full of confidence.)
Where does all that confidence come from? Oh right, he’s a dragon. If all the monsters around him are terrified of him, of course, he’s full of himself.
Yeah, I guess I was like that too…
“Enough with the silence. Or do I need to make you open up from the lower mouth?”
(That’s vulgar…)
This is why dragons who didn’t receive basic education are like this… As I was about to reveal my identity with “Hey, it’s me, Jade. And by the way, there’s no ‘lower mouth,’ you idiot,” someone interrupted.
“You bastard, get away from Sacchan!”
“Huh?”
Lua came back with drinks in hand… Oh no.
“What the hell are you?”
“What the hell are you, get away from Sacchan!”
Van and Lua are glaring at each other in front of me. This is bad. Both of them are hot-blooded right now.
“Hey, you two—”
As I tried to stop them, without any hesitation, both threw their fists at each other!
“Ugh!?”
“Hmph… not bad for a human.”
Their fists clashed. The sound and impact were so intense that it didn’t seem like mere flesh had collided.
The result? Lua lost.
“Guhhh!?”
Lua clutched his hand and fell. His skin was torn, and his bones were nearly visible.
“Not bad, kid. How’d you manage with that feminine body… Oh, I see. Magic, huh?”
A magical tome floated beside Lua. Van glanced at it and remarked, “Quite a high-level enhancement spell,” but there wasn’t a single scratch on his fist. Well, of course, he’s still one of the strongest dragon species.
“Damn it, losing to a guy like this…!”
“Lua, stop pushing yourself!”
Lua was severely injured. Blood was flowing from the fist he used to punch, and his entire arm was trembling violently. It wasn’t just his fist; his entire arm’s bone was probably shattered.
“Heh, I’m pathetic…”
“No, you’re not.”
In fact, it’s impressive that you only took that much damage.
Even weakened, Van is still a dragon. If you had punched him head-on, it wouldn’t have been surprising if your entire arm and shoulder got torn off.
“But just watch, Sacchan. I’ll pull off a comeback from here!”
“Lua!”
Without any chance to stop him, he leaped and swung his opposite arm at Van.
“I won’t let a single finger touch Sacchan, or the beloved Lady Sara!”
“Hah! You’re an amusing human!”
Once again, their fists collided.
The sound was even louder than before.
“You damn redhead!”
Lua roared valiantly. However,
“Stay down, you little weakling!”
With one punch, Van sent Lua crashing into the ground.
“Ugh!?”
At the same time, the sound of something shattering echoed. Lua’s other fist took more damage, and his fingers were crushed into a mess.
Van sneered as he looked down at Lua. “How pathetic.”
“In the end, you’re just a weak human. And you think you’re worthy of being that woman’s mate?”
Van looked down at the collapsed Lua.
To him, humans are probably nothing. No matter how brave they are, it’s all worthless in his eyes.
“Damn it…!”
“Well, see ya, weakling. I’m taking this woman with me.”
Van reached out towards me, and I swatted his hand away like trash.
“Don’t touch me, you’ll taint me.”
“What the…!?”
Van was pissed, but I didn’t care. I ignored him and gently stroked Lua’s back, who was writhing in pain.
“You were cool, Lua.”
“Sara-sama… I couldn’t do anything…”
“It’s okay. Just rest for now.”
I activated the skill <<Healing Heal>>.
As the soothing waves flowed into Lua, his arms began to heal as if time was rewinding. At the same time, his eyelids began to droop.
“Huh…?”
“Rapid healing uses up stamina. Don’t worry about anything, just let yourself sleep.”
“But… but… uh—”
Still concerned about me, Lua finally drifted off to sleep. I caught his head before it hit the ground and laid him on my lap. I wouldn’t let him get dirty on the ground.
“Now then.”
With my friend now asleep, I looked up at the one still glaring at me.
“Do you still need something, trash?”
“You… you’ve been disrespecting me this whole time!”
Van was trembling with rage, pointing at the sleeping Lua. “You’re treating that weakling so differently! I won, didn’t I!? You should be falling for me!”
“Hah…”
I let out a sigh, thoroughly fed up.
So he really thinks, like some wild animal, that the strong are the most attractive and that the one who wins is the best?
Give me a break.
“Strength is important, sure. But in the human world, the most attractive people are the ones who fight to protect others.”
Just once.
I’ll tell him just once.
I won’t blame anyone for being ignorant. But now I’ve told him, haven’t I?
“And in human society, someone who tries to use violence to claim a woman is even worse than trash. Understand?”
“What!?”
Van roared in anger. Just as he shouted, “You’re dead!” and reached towards me…
“What’s all this commotion about!”
A sharp female voice echoed through the scene.
It was Iris.
“Hmph… That boy, if I’m not mistaken, is named Lua. He seems to have lost consciousness. What’s the situation here?”
Iris looked around at the crowd that had gathered without her noticing. They explained, “That boy tried to protect the girl in the hood…”
“I see. Hey, red-haired one, it seems the fault lies with you for trying to force yourself on that girl. As a former knight, I cannot overlook this.”
“Tch, what does a sudden appearance of a woman have to say about this?”
Van’s words were cut short. A blade was pressed against his throat from behind.
“—Was it you? The one who harmed my friend?”
The black-haired young warrior, Shirokusa, stood there. He had no trace of the relaxed demeanor he showed when playing with me. He radiated a cold killing intent, clearly ready to take Van’s life.
Furthermore,
“What’s going on here!? Someone’s trying to assault a girl!”
“That bastard’s apparently left Lua seriously injured! We’re going in!”
Adventurers continued to gather, and the guards, alerted by the commotion, arrived quickly.
The scene became chaotic as Van clicked his tongue in frustration.
“Damn humans, so many of you. No matter how many of you there are, I’ll kill you all without a scratch…”
“You’re not in any position to talk, looking like that.”
I mocked him while observing his arm.
“It looks like it’s hurting.”
“Wha—!?”
It seemed he finally noticed, as his right arm, which had clashed with Lua’s fists twice, was slightly trembling.
“D-Doesn’t matter! It’s just a little rattling in the bones!”
“Hah, you admitted it! You said you were unscathed, but now you admit to even a bit of damage. How pathetic.”
“Grr!”
The red dragon’s anger intensified. However, the fact that Lua, whom he had considered weak, had managed to inflict some damage seemed to have made him realize the gravity of the situation.
Van clicked his tongue again and said,
“Remember this, you humans…”
With that, he vanished in an instant.
“I see,”
There seems to be no intention of remorse, then?
