Chapter 114
Ch . 114 Beastman Nina
So what should I do? I have to somehow convey that im not hostile in less than a minute . If I turn back into a dragon now then I would have transformed into a human for nothing .
Oh, maybe, should I dance? Maybe doing a dance will appeal to her . But, if I dance for a whole minute it won’t feel right . She’ll probably think it was some kind of curse or something .
“Va… . ”“hinya!”
Listening to my hoarse voice, Nina shudders and her body trembles .
Oh, its no use, even my voice is no good .
I lightly poke my throat . Please work my vocal cords, ill depend on you, im counting on you .
But, I really don’t have much time . Three minutes, is really short . But, if I had three more minutes I could do something about it . If this keeps up I will turn back into a dragon without having accomplished anything . It’s painful being deprived of your voice as appearance doesn’t really make much of a difference at this point .
Anyway, just think of what I want to say for now .
Even if I say I came to help, I won’t be able to trust it if I look like this . Seeing my body, I feel like I’m some sort of devil . In normal circumstances I should not be the type to help people . I look more like someone who would laugh while eating humans .I need to say something to make up for this appearance…Something like, actually, im a human being like you? No, it sounds suspicious . I will definitely run away if a monster approaches while saying such a thing .
It needs to be brief and it has to convince her right now…that is unreasonable .
While I’m thinking my MP is slowly decreasing . Anyway, I just have to say what I honestly mean to convey without hesitation . There is no longer any time to think .
“Vu~o, me, monster, Ua, a, turn, human, original”
Okay, good .
I tried to put it together forcibly, but it instead might have been taken as a misunderstanding from the flow of it . But, I did not tell a lie . When I think about it, in this world there might not even be a word such as human being . It’s a small worry, yeah .
“……”
Nina looked at me with fearful eyes and blinked twice .
“Uh, lets see, in the past…was there a human being?” (Nina)
“its so”
Its good, this is good . I’ll be able to overcome this if it’s like this .
“I! Not dangerous . Safe place . I take you to place . Where live…”
I feel that my body is starting to grow a little . At the same time, a fierce sense of fatigue attacks my body .
Oh, are the three minutes up already? At least let me finish! Status, status check!
[Irushia]
Race: Evil Plague Dragon
State: Normal
Lv: 22/75
HP: 130/260
MP: 4/199
Wow, it already reached the time limit . Just a bit more, at least let me have ten more seconds! At least tell me where it is I should take you!
To try to keep my human figure even for a little bit longer, I imagen squeezing out magical power from my body . [[Auto MP Recovery]], if I had that, then maybe I could keep my human form longer… .
[Normal Skill [[Human Transformation Technique]] Lv increased from 3 to 4]
That’s not what I wanted! Even if the skill Lv goes up now it doesn’t matter!
But I’m a little happy!
With skill Lv 4, I would actually feel more like a human soon wont I?
But, even if the skill Lv goes up, my problem hasn’t been solved . My body is still expanding . Also, since my MP is almost drained, my body feels heavy . My consciousness is in danger, my head is a little dizzy .
My skin started to get harder and harder, and my fangs and nails started to grow . I’ll be back to my original form in no time .
“Hinyaa!?”
Nina looks up at me who turned into a dragon and opens her eyes wide while edging back .
Seems that she was unable to remain standing due to fatigue, so she sat down in place .
Even if I didn’t scare you that far, will I still be able to recover?
Everything I said was as a demon, before I changed back . Although, I never did mention I was a dragon .
In order to appeal my non-hostility, I lay my belly on the ground and lower my head bowing down .
Fortunately, after my actions, the ball rabbit who was watching our exchange from a distance approached me in a joyful manner . It climbed on top of my head, fixed its position and let out a small “pefuu”…as if relieved . It seems that the wariness it had of me a while ago due to my form, has worn off after having watched me .
But, the humanization has now run out?
Since it’s already like this, I have to somehow persuade her with hand gestures or some kind of gesture . This desert is too dangerous for Nina to walk alone, she won’t even be able to beat the leopard .
“Guar, GuA…”
I call out to Nina, but there is no response . I thought it was strange so I approached and stretched my neck .
… . This girl, did she lose consciousness due to fear? Was it really that shocking that I suddenly became a dragon?… .
Because, my MP became empty I am also in danger of losing consciousness . An intense sleepiness and feeling of exhaustion attacks my body . My body is strangely heavy . The next time I use [[Human Transformation Technique]] I should be more careful, even if I feel I am able to hold out .
I fell asleep slowly while feeling the ball rabbit lying on top of my head .
