Chapter 134

Ch . 134 A Brief Rest

The men’s figures disappear over the hill . That Hagen guy is running by foot, will he really be okay? After all, his favorite horse Maria never came back . At least the other soldiers managed to stay on while the horses ran away at full speed . They were about 1 . 3 times faster then they came .

It’s my fault… . no not really .

It was legitimate self defense, it’s not even on the scale of excessive defense .

Geez, they let the huge centipede alone, and yet why did they come hunting for me?

Well, I’m glad that they aren’t very strong .

A “Gufu…” leaks out as I sigh in relief .

Nina’s shoulders tremble from hearing my groan . I want to become a human soon . Urgently .

The ball rabbit crawls out from the ground and shakes its body dropping sand .

“pefuu…”

The ball rabbit let out a relieved sigh just as I did . Nina lets out a small laugh and lifts up the ball rabbit as it narrows its eyes .

Humans have a tendency to do such things, does it have to do with appearance…?

It reminds of the time when I was a baby dragon and I met Miria making me feel sentimental .

Maybe because my physique has changed so much it feels like it was something long ago .

I wonder what you’re doing right now black lizard and orangutans? I guess they are still making pots and hanging meat out to dry .

I hope they weren’t done in by other monsters .

While I was thinking, the ball rabbit decided to cleanse a part of the sludge swamp pool again, so I decided to head over .

This time ill made sure I keep my pace this so that I don’t spit any of it out . I have reflected on my actions .

The same as before, a blue light is emitted from the ball rabbit and it goes into the sludge swamp turning it transparent . Its unbelievable no matter how many times I see it .

A part of the swamp turns into a beautiful lake . Just by watching it you could tell that the sludge is slowly disappearing, and we’ll be able to drink soon .

The ball rabbit repels off the ground with its ears and jumps into the water . After sinking for a moment it immediately comes up to float .

What is it doing, is it bathing?

When I think about it, the last time I washed was in the sea covering myself with seawater . It would be better to wash myself properly with this beautiful water .

I guess I should go wash my body . I’ve been treated as unclean recently and that’s no good, although I don’t personally think I smell .

That reminds me, I’ve heard that you get used to your own body odor so you can’t really tell if you smell .

My anxiety is getting worse .

“Gurua”

Hey ball rabbit, do you mind if I wash my body as well?

“…… . ”

It kept silent while staring at me with half closed eyes . That reaction, I feel pretty hurt .

Its looking at me as if I’m a dad that just asked if he could join them in the bath .

… . Well if I entered then the effects of [[Dragon Scales]] could spread in the lake .

Won’t it be alright if I went in last?

Ah, maybe I could use [[Human Transformation]] to wash myself .

After Nina looked at the ball rabbit, she sniffed her own body and narrowed her eyes a little .

That’s right, Nina was thrust into my mouth while escaping from that centipede, and she hasn’t washed since then . At that time Nina had fainted and from her perspective she’s probably thinking, “I thought that I was going to be killed by that huge centipede, and next thing I know my body smelled like a dragon . ”

Do I really smell after all? I really didn’t think much of it, but I guess I really can’t tell my my own smell after all .

Looking at Nina’s state, the floating ball rabbit invites Nina to the lake with its ears .

Its ears are dexterous as usual .

“pefupefu!”

“Ah, Thank you ball”

Nina’s expression shines as she reaches for her clothes .

The clothes she is wearing is made up of roughly sewn clothes, and the other beastmen on the carriage were wearing something similar .

As it is, it looks similar to a one piece . There is also one button making it look like it’s lacking .

Nina unfastened the button on her clothes and reveals her white shoulders . As I was thinking that she has delicate and beautiful skin, I returned to myself .

“Guruuwaa!”

It was rude of me, but I used a roar similar to the one I used on the soldiers .

“What, whats wrong?”

“pefu?”

Stop!

I’m a man!

Because I have the mind of a man!

It wasn’t through [[Telepathy]], but Nina suddenly understood the situation and her face and ears were dyed in red .

“Ninyaa!?”

She hurriedly grasped the edges of her clothes and hugged them tight .

“I I, I beg your pardon”

I quickly turn away and head to the opposite end of the lake and lie down .

Ah, that scared me for a moment . For a second there, she had forgotten that I was a former human . Things unintentionally got a little heated up there . Even I forget sometimes . When Nina was unfastening her button, I didn’t think anything of it . I came back to my senses after Nina shouted and covered up .

After staying away for a while, I had wondered whether Nina has came out of the lake as I heard the sound of water . Then I heard the sound of dripping .

“Uh, I’m sorry, for troubling you that time nya . But now it’s safe”

Apparently, she also washed her clothes while she was at it . However, she is of course wearing the same ones as there is no change of clothes .

Well, this heat will dry it out while walking .

The sun is really strong in this desert . Also, since some time has passed since the large slug was killed, the rain clouds over the swamp have grown thin . They will disappear soon .

I’m thirsty .

I queue up with the ball rabbit and dip my mouth in the lake .

I will not tread on the same wheel track .

I look carefully and check the amount of clean water taking care not to drink any sludge . After collecting it in my mouth, I raise my face out from the lake .

I thought about swallowing the water as is but then I suddenly remembered how the ball rabbit had refused to enter my mouth earlier .

Do I really have bad breath? Perhaps it would be better if I cleaned out my mouth . If I do it well enough, then maybe I will be able to move around while the ball rabbit and Nina are inside my mouth .

That is the best way to flee from the enemy .

I look up at the sky and gargle the water in my mouth . It’s my first gargle since being in this world .

Good, good, I feel as if the dirt and pieces of flesh that were stuck on my tongue and fangs are coming off .

I lower my head and spit out water into the lake .

Ah, I feel refreshed .

For now on I will be ready to flee in an emergency, with Nina and the ball rabbit in my mouth using [[Roll]]!

“bebuu!”

The ball rabbit who was drinking water besides me quickly spits it out .

Oh, what are you doing? Gargling?

A few seconds later, I look to the lake .

The lake was now covered in a mysterious dirty yellow mucus .

“Pefuuuuu!!”

The ball rabbit brandishes its ears and starts attacking .

It hurts! Don’t aim for the same place over and over!

It was my fault! I’m sorry!

It’s because gargling is basically vomiting!

It’s a habit of my previous life! It wasn’t on purpose!
