chapter 3
Episode 3 [Black Dragon Olivia] (1)
The fateful meeting between the strongest black dragon Olivia, who killed the Demon King, and Dante, a commoner from the demon world.
After Dante accepted her proposal for a job as her slave, time passed like water flowing, and before he knew it, two years had already gone by!
“….Oh miss..”
Scratch scratch.
“Olly….oh miss..”
“[Uuh…]”
Scratch scratch.
“Miss Olivia! Please wake up!”
“[Z….z…z]”
Whack.
Huh, is this how it goes?
Finally, as the veins on the boy’s cheek bulged and he took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind,
One…two…!
“Yaaahhh!!!! You damn lizard brat!! Get up right now!!!??”
Whack!!
“[Guh!?]”
The dragon was startled and opened its eyes wide.
Dante was furious, fiercely whipping the scale under the giant black dragon’s jaw, which was about a foot in diameter and attached upside down, with the broom he was holding in his hand.
‘Adamantine scales’
The dragon, which had impenetrable skin that no spear or sword could pierce, had one weakness, which was the scales that grew upside down under its neck, called the adamantine scales.
Originally, dragons were said to chase and tear apart anyone who touched those scales, but…
Whack! Whack whack! Whack!!
…that was an impossible sound.
“Get up! Get up right now, you damn lizard!! The sun’s already at its peak!!”
“[Alright, I got it! So get that damn broom away from under my neck! It hurts like hell!]”
“Yes! Good morning, Miss Olivia!”
…What?
“[…I’ve known for a while, but your transformation is almost like a joke. Dante.]”
“Thank you for the compliment!”
“[…I just had to say something. Geez, that crazy brat.]”
Flutter, flutter.
“[Groan─]”
As the black dragon Olivia slowly spread her dark wings and stretched, Dante climbed onto her tail and began cleaning meticulously between her black scales with a natural ease.
“By the way, Olivia. It’s been two years since we met. Can you believe it? Ah… there were many ups and downs, but still, those days were beautiful─”
“[Yeah, yeah, just spare me. I have no intention of raising your salary. Stop trying to appeal to my emotions. It’s sickening.]”
“…….So, you’re saying you hear lizard sounds instead of dragon sounds? Do you know that? Ah, would a dragon even be able to fly with such a small size? You’re at least 20,000 times larger than the average person! You’re like a soybean in comparison!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. There’s only one person in this world who calls me a lizard. You’re just a brat who popped out of its shell. Kick, kick.”
Olivia playfully showed her sharp teeth, lightly poking Dante’s stomach with her claws.
“Oh, and Dante, why do you need money? You know how much property I have. All you do is run around the castle with gold coins.”
“Uh…what do you mean? How is your wealth related to me?”
It’s not like I’m asking for a raise.
“[Why should it matter at all?]”
Olivia’s red, rectangular pupils glimmered as she stared at Dante, her tail flicking back and forth.
“──Soon, everything I have will be yours.”
Of course, the opposite is true as well.
…..Huh?
Dante made a gesture of confusion, spinning his finger around his head.
“I’m sorry, did you eat poisonous plants or drugs on the mountain yesterday? Are you feeling okay? You’ve been spouting nonsense that I can’t understand. I’m starting to worry.”
“[……..You really are…! Ugh, forget it. It doesn’t matter.]”
What can I expect from a clueless brat like you?
Olivia sighed, tapping her forehead.
Why did I fall for a human…? Ugh, I’m such an idiot.
