Chapter 9 Varania The Dragon

A child suddenly appeared in front of the door, which made Aella and Noella tremble and fear the child. Seeing the child, I stood up and walked towards him. Aella was confused. Because it was a child, I crouched down in front of him and said,

“Where’s your family, my child?”

I saw his face, and he was so irritated about it that suddenly I was being grabbed by Aella behind me. Aella leaned her mouth to my right ear and whispered.

“What are thou doing?”

“What am I doing? There is a child, of course; I want to help him..” we exchanged whispers.

“And she is not him..”

“Really? I thought he was a boy with that attire.”

“And once more, thou better not make her irritated or an–”

Suddenly, the child shouted at me fiercely.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CHILD?”

“Ah! I think it’s too late to tell thou about it” Aella whispered to me “Thou better be prepared..”

“What prepar–”

Suddenly, she pushed me towards the child. The child just stared at me fiercely in front of her...

..

There was only silence in some moments.

Finally, the child opened her mouth “YOU, BRING YOUR FACE HERE!!”

I leaned down on her face.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CHILD?”

I answered, “You?”

“AM I LOOKING LIKE A CHILD?”

I observed her from bottom to top. Yup, she is a child.

“Yes, you do?”

“DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM?”

“I don’t have any clue..”

“REALLY?” She looked at Aella “YOU PLANT LOVER, TELL HIM WHO I AM!”

“I’m at your command..” Aella walked towards us. In front of me, she started to introduce the child to me “This is almighty Varania, the mighty red dragon from the dragon race, she is the dragon that the demon lord rides, therefore, she is the only creature that can ride alongside the demon lord…”

“GREAT PLANT LOVER, YOU CAN GO BACK..”

Quickly, Aella went back to Noella behind us.

“So you are a dragon?” I asked her.

“YES, I AM..”

“Can you not raise your voice every time you speak?”

“THIS IS HOW I SPEAK.”

“RAISE YOUR VOICE. DON’T ASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE, SO DON’T RAISE YOUR VOICE WHEN YOU SPEAK, PLEASE.”

Her face suddenly baffled, and I looked behind. Aella and Noella’s faces were astonished. I turned my gaze to her again, and she showed her grumpiness.

“WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, ARE YOU SORT OF MY MOTHER OR MY MASTER? THAT CAN TEL—” She immediately stopped talking. I looked at her and she seemed to stare at something in my hand. I followed her stare, and she gazed at my finger, where there was a ring in there. She suddenly turned her face up to me.

“WHO GIVES YOU THAT RING?” pointed to the ring.

"Lilith, the one who gave me this…Is this ring the reason you came here?”

“WHAT!!! SHE GAVE YOU THAT RING…”

"Yes, she did. Now you want to talk while you are standing or taking a seat?”

She just nodded; therefore, I led her to the front seat with Aella and Noella. She took a seat beside them, and she glared at the dishes of Aella and Noella and the pillows beside them. Before I went behind the counter, she said to me,

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

“WHAT ARE THOSE BESIDE THEM?” Pointed at the pillows.

“It’s a pillow; you can look at the behind; there is plenty of it..”

“I WANT ONE..”

“Right..” I went to get a pillow for her...

After I got it, I handed it over to her, and immediately she hugged the pillow fiercely. I went back behind the counter, took Kris on the table at the back of the counter, and after that, I asked her.

“The blast earlier, is that what you were doing?”

“THE BLAST? AH! YES, I KEPT RAMMING TO THE TREE AND THIS BUILDING, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT PROTECTED IT.”

“Why did you do that?”

“BECAUSE I SENSED MY MASTER SCENT IN HERE, SO I RAMMED IT.”

“Your master???? You mean Lilith?”

“YOU HUMAN, SO CASUALLY CALLED HER NAME, YES, SHE IS MY MASTER..”

“Is that a big deal?” I looked at Aella and Noella, and they immediately nodded. "Well, I don’t know about that…..so do you want the one your master drinks and eats?”

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?”

“Your master drank and ate in here…” Without paying…

“SO WHAT DOES MY MASTER EAT AND DRINK?”

“If you want, I can bring it to you..”

“BRING IT..”

“Right on…”

I immediately started to make cappuccino. When I prepared the ice from the freezer box, she immediately said,

“YOU HAVE ICE, AND WHAT IS THAT?”

“About that, you can ask someone beside you; she already knows what it is. So I can prepare your drink.”

Aella suddenly burst her mouth while drinking…

“YOU PLANT LOVER, KNOW WHAT IS THAT?”

“Yes, I have heard the explanation from him..”

Aella immediately explained what she heard from me while I was making the drink. When I turned on the espresso machine, Varania's reaction was the same as Lilith's. Aella explained it to her. The drink was done without any disturbance or question, like before. I served it to her with a straw, not like the others. Aella again explained to her, about the small glass, that it was sugar. She was immediately shocked. But Aella was confused about the straw.

“Darya, what is that thing in her drink?”

“Ah!, that’s a straw…It helps you drink…so you just sipping at it…”

“Really? Can you give me one? I want to try..”

I gave Aella and Noella the straws, and immediately they sipped the drink with straws.

“HEI PLANT LOVER, CONTINUE YOUR EXPLANATION!”

Aella continued to explain about the drink; Varania took a sip of it, and the reaction was the same as Lilith's. Immediately, she poured all the sugar into the drink. After she drank her drink, I served her the chocolate cake.

“This is the cake that your master ate.”

She was confused about the fork, but Aella explained it to her and demonstrated it. Immediately she did what Aella demonstrated, yet she did it like a child, and the cakes dripped over her mouth like Lilith.

While she was enjoying it, I asked her.

“You came here because you sensed your master's scent; is that what you do every time your master goes off?

“I AM NOT FOLLOWING MY MASTER BECAUSE MERELY HER SCENT, BUT I SENSED SHE WAS IN DANGER TOO..”

Aella said, “I think it’s impossible; the demon lord was in danger, right, Darya?”

“What does this danger mean?”

“I SENSED SHE WAS IN A DEEP PRESSURE FROM SOMETHING THAT MADE HER UNABLE TO MOVE.”

Aella turned her face to me “Is that ludicrous? Something stronger can make the demon lord unable to move.”

“AHHH!!!!” I realised it.

“Don’t tell me you’re the one that made the demon lord unable to move..” Aella said to me.

“WAHHT!! YOU THE ONE WHO MADE MY MASTER SUFFERED” She immediately jumped off her seat and threw the pillow at me. “WHO ARE YOU, HUMAN? SO THAT RING, YOU TOOK IT FORCEFULLY FROM MY MASTER, WHERE IS SHE NOW?”

“Just calm down…It was just a misunderstanding.”

“MISUNDERSTANDING? YOU HARMED MY MASTER; IT IS MY PLACE TO ERASE SOMEONE LIKE YOU..”

Immediately, Aella and Noella took some steps back.

“VARANUS FOTIA” Nothing was happening to her, and suddenly, the force went to her.

She was being pushed down, making her kneel. Aella and Noella were shocked about it...

“It’s done again..”

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?”

"Nothing; I don’t do anything... It’s just what you've done..”

“PERIFOUR” again, nothing was happening, and the force being more powerful than before, she lost her knees and sprawled around.

I turned my gaze to Aella. “Do you know what spell she used?”

“The first one is her breath spell, and the second is the protection.”

I looked at Varania again “Okay, I will release you from it, but you need to calm down. This is what your master experienced; I think you have found the answer to why your master was in danger.”

Varania didn’t open her mouth for a single word, but seeing her on the floor being pushed down, like being pushed with tonnes of weight, made me feel pity for her. I immediately cancelled the skill of the shop, based on what I had learned from Aella. In a second, Varania was freed from the force and stood up again. She walked towards the counter, took a seat without saying a word, and took a sip of her drink.

Aella and Noella suddenly put five gold coins on the counter.

“I think we will excuse ourselves." Immediately they went to the front door. In front of it Aella said “Next time, I will bring my master in here..” and closed the door.

I took the gold coins and cleaned the dishes on the table. While I wanted to take the dishes, Varania opened her mouth with a small tone.

“You better mop the floor too.”

“Why?” I asked.

“They leaked some of it..”

“Leaked? You mean they were sweating..”

“No, I mean leak on the bottom..”

“Leak on the bottom?” Don’t tell me they...

I looked at the floor, and it was true, like she said, not just on the floor; it was on the chair; they sat too. When I wanted to grab the mop from the back, I heard something disturbing and unbelievable from her.

“You don’t want to lick?”

“WHAT!”

“I thought humans had fallen in love with elves. So they did not waste everything on them. And the elves before were the special ones; they were priestesses, even the high ones, you know that priestesses always protect their chastity. Therefore, the water from them was being chased by a lot of humans.”

“I am not a freak like the humans you told me." I grabbed the mop and the cloth to wipe the table, especially the chairs.

After that, I mopped the floor and wiped the table and chairs with the cloth. Again, she said something disturbing.

“You wasted it..”

I ignored her, and kept wiping it…
