Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"I do want to do it, but I also truly trust you."

"..."

"You guy..."

Artoria sighed helplessly.

She looked around to make sure no one else was in the quiet night before nodding.

"It'll only be for a little while..."

"We still have to travel tomorrow."

"it is good."

Beside the campfire, the girl's shoulders peeked out from under her simple clothes.

That's a look that you'll never forget once you see it.

However, even though it is so beautiful, it is not the main focus at present.

sip--

sip--

Artoria looked at Ian on her chest.

A month ago, she never dreamed that she would do such a thing a month later.

but……

It seems to be gradually returning to normal.

Dragons seem to have a unique advantage in this kind of thing.

If the previous behavior can be considered as biting.

So now, it can definitely be considered a caress.

of course.

Artoria wouldn't tell.

If Ian finds out, he'll be so arrogant!

But then again...

Does it really have a tail?

"All right."

"I feel much better now."

Before Artoria could finish her wildly imaginative thoughts, she heard Ian's words.

"So fast--"

"How could you..."

Artoria stopped halfway through her sentence.

She realized that what she was saying seemed to imply, "Why did you stop?"

However, Ian was quite straightforward.

"Let's get going."

I want you to get some rest.

"..."

Artoria naturally understood the weight of this action.

What stopped was the mouth; what was restrained was the desire.

"It's not that bad..."

Before the girl could finish speaking, she felt herself being picked up.

"Let's go back to the carriage and rest."

"No, wait a minute..."

Artoria tried to struggle, but found that she was no match for her opponent in terms of strength.

no way.

He did this for his own sake.

At least……

First, put your clothes on.

The girl hurriedly dealt with her undone clothes, but soon she noticed that Ian, who was carrying her up to the carriage, had stopped.

"What are you doing?"

"Could it be that they've changed their minds and want to continue?"

"I'll be angry if you do that!"

A cold wind blew.

"Don't make a sound yet."

Ian immediately covered Artoria's mouth.

That was a savagery completely different from the gentle concern he had shown just moments before.

After the surroundings fell silent, a blood-red light flashed in the boy's eyes.

Artoria could sense that his body was being visibly strengthened.

She became alert.

"Ian, what's wrong?"

There's something that smells bad around here.

"what?"

11. Morgan: What kind of monster is that...? (1/3)

Ian's warning put Artoria on her guard.

soon--

She then noticed the noise the other person was talking about.

That's right.

Although the surroundings seemed calm and peaceful as before, something had indeed seeped in without anyone noticing.

"Hide well, Artoria."

The boy said this, and then put the other person in the car.

"Ian, you—"

"Do not worry about me."

“I am a descendant of Tiamat.”

Click——

Click——

The sound of bones and joints grinding together could be heard in the air.

That was Ian stretching his muscles.

His body had been greatly strengthened by years of immersion in the Sea of ​​Life.

"This way?"

Ian’s eyes flashed red, followed by a powerful punch.

Artoria was surprised.

Because in her eyes, it was a punch thrown into the air.

But the next moment, Artoria witnessed an unbelievable scene.

A sinister black figure appeared precisely on the boy's outstretched fist.

It was as if it had crashed into us.

In an instant, the shadowy figure was twisted by the dragon's punch and then disappeared from the girl's sight.

"Ian, what's that?"

"I do not know."

Ian's blood-red eyes scanned his surroundings.

"but--"

"Their food tastes terrible."

"And it seems like it has a lot of issues with you."

"Eh?"

Altria was stunned for a moment.

She never expected these shadowy figures to be hostile towards her.

"Ian, let's run!"

"run?"

"Why run?"

Ian exhaled a puff of hot air.

With another punch, the boy once again struck the spot where another dark figure appeared.

"That would only make them think we are the prey."

"It should be the other way around—"

"Make them feel like they are the prey."

"Artoria, just wait."

A gust of wind swept by.

The wind made the campfire flicker.

Finally, the light from the flames completely disappeared.

Artoria, inside the carriage, heard a long howl.

She couldn't see what it was, but she could sense that it was Ian's voice.

Because the voices in my dreams are like that too!

And the girl's intuition was indeed correct.

The moment the campfire went out, Ian's body began to change.

If his usual physical intimacy with young girls represents the side of him that accepts humans;

The dragon that dispelled the flower's image in the dream belonged to the nurturing aspect of Tiamat.

So--

I am somewhere between these two situations right now.

It has a tail and sharp claws and teeth.

But her appearance remained the same, the one that Artoria could recognize.

Not a complete dragon;

But it is not entirely human either.
