"Ungh! My head hurts…" Dick groggily opened the door.
"We got to move, the dragon's back."
"Wait, who? Who are you?" He was confused. If he wasn't drunk I'd have probably punched him.
"This isn't the ti for this you, moron. Did your brain malfunction or sothing?"
"Daarc? Wait what the hell is going on?"
I sighed in frustration. "You gotta be kidding . How could you already forget my face?"
He groaned. "How could this be! Damn! I didn't even get the chance to kiss her yet."
I stared at him without a word. Did I seriously need to go through this now?
"Anyway what's up with the commotion?" he held his head in his hand. He was barely awake. And the fact that I wasn't a girl anymore bothered him more than anything else.
"The dragon, he's back. And he brought friends."
He pondered for a mont and let it all sink in. "What!" He stretched his surprise sowhat and glared at . "Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to take you with us in the first place." He sighed. The guy had a bad case of a hangover.
I guess all of this was a bit too much for him to handle for his dehydrated brain.
"Too late now."
"You talk like it's not your problem." He groaned again.
Siren like bells started ringing. It was more or less the middle of the night. So the siren felt rather loud. "Looks like they're already here."
I really wished they hadn't but this was bad.
"They? You don't an?" His face went pale- more like paler.
"He's bringing friends: Didn't you hear before?"
Small drops of sweat appeared on his face.
He probably thought one dragon was trouble but manageable. But the idea of multiple ones was sothing he didn't even want to have nightmares about. "Te-tell , how many friends are we talking about?"
"Ten-twelve maybe?" I knew one thing for sure, I didn't know anything. "I'd suggest you to run away while you have the chance. I'm pretty sure it's coming for ." I'd already dragged him in my business more than enough. I didn't want to endanger his life any further.
"What are you talking about? Aren't we friends?"
I actually didn't expect that. "And you'd throw your life for a friend you don't even know about?"
"Yes!" I might have misjudged him. "Besides, how can I just abandon all the ladies of this town? And if I let you die I'd never see that your beautiful face again!"
Okay, I definitely misjudged him.
"Anyway, get ready." I had to do sothing about the whole situation as well. No matter how I thought about it, it seed more or less like my fault. I couldn't just drag in innocent bystanders in this.
"Understood." Servesta was listening to us rather attentively.
I hadn't seen him but if he heard what I said then I had one less thing to worry about.
At least soone understood things.
"Looks like you're already pretty ready," Dick pointed at .
I was rocking the new armor and Boriosa's robe: it functioned more like a cape though. I looked flashier than I wanted but it was the best I could hope for.
I was even wearing Boriosa's pants. After a wash, all of his clothes ca out neat and clean. The clothes were the best I saw in this world and I really hoped he'd forgive for wearing them.
I grinned. "Alright since they're here for , I'm going out of the town. Maybe I'd be able to negotiate sothing. But if that fails at least the town won't be in imdiate danger. anwhile, you can do sothing about the dragons if they appear. And since they know about the mystic stuff, let's give 'em a good show."
"Not the best of plans. But I don't have anything better. goo'luck!" He spread his arms for a shake. After a brief second, I spread my hand and t his. His attitude towards sure had changed when I changed back.
This guy only ticked for won, I guess.
"See ya later." I didn't mind it though.
I ran out of the inn.
***
The whole city was in a panic. Sleeping people woke up in the middle of the night hearing sirens. I'd have been surprised if there was no panic.
People ran around, aimlessly. The guards were overloaded with stress and the sheer magnitude of the panic.
The sky was littered with black things that had wings. They hadn't attacked yet. It was almost as if they were waiting for sothing.
So you really are here for .
Was I wearing sothing like a trouble magnet? Why did these things always have to target ?
"Daarc!" Lianne ran towards . "What now?"
I guess she was done warning the guards.
"I'm planning on getting out of the town and negotiating with him," I said.
"But that's reckless!" I was glad to see she didn't mind my transformation at least.
"Well, we don't really have a choice."
"And why are you like this? The monster won't be able to recognize you! Turn back." I might have spoken too soon.
"Oh, he'll recognize alright. At first, I thought we were connected or sothing. But he was beaming onto like a missile. He was using my subconscious to find ."
And more importantly, he could sll Trerortra's blood in .
Well, it was more like my theory because no matter what trouble always found no matter where I went.
She held my hands. "I won't stop you. But promise you won't do anything rash."
Why is everyone talking like they won't see again? Co on people be a little more optimistic.
I smiled. "Of course. Take care of the little bunny, will ya!" I ran. I didn't let her say anything. I knew she'd worry but I didn't have a choice.
Speaking of the bunny, I actually hadn't seen the little devil after waking up.
