Miss kobayashi's dragon maid: the one who loved them
Chapter 6: the blue eyed glutton
(but she's so sweet!)
It took about an hour, but sentaro was painstakingly gathering whatever knowledge he could from tohru. He was completely enamored with the intricacies and nuances of her dystopian fantasy world, he was told by his mom that he was from there originally when he was born, but he could barely even recall it, even his recent venture there with her was all new to him. Seems kings, magic, and monsters still reigned, but filled the niches of a Tolkien book/film to a Tee. She had gone on to explain how polytheism was real, but she only worshiped death gods, hades was annoying in her eyes, Satan was just arrogant, and death...well he's a real bummer...not great at social gatherings or parties, he always brings departed, vengeful souls as snacks.
"So tohru, as a dragon...are you territorial?" Sentaro asked the dragon maid sitting on kobayashi's couch with a pad in his hand.
"Oh extremely! There's always some wannabe dragon trying to stake claim of my ruins or cave! Either that or a really uppity griffin, and sometimes wyverns...they're weird."
Is it true that dragons horde treasure?"
"Yes, but it's bad to become attached to that stuff. I've seen a lot of my good friends killed by what they try to greedily accumulate, like fafnir. He's a cursed dragon forced to guard the treasure of his cave for all eternity..."
"Right right! I've heard the legend! Are you nomadic?"
"Sometimes I have to be...if I stay in one area for too long...I always get attacked by mages, knights or dragon hunters...they're really annoying."
"Where do you stake territorial claim?..."
"Mostly caves, mountains, ruins, deep forests, I even fell asleep flying once!"
"Ok, hmm...how long have you been able to use magic?"
"I've known pretty much since I was a hatchling! Although...I was raised to be a being of unparalleled destruction, you know the whole bringing Armageddon shtick?"
"Interesting..." sentaro scribbled in her words jotting down things for reference when he wrote his fanfiction."one more Tohru, do you worship a religion?"
"Which one, I don't really worship gods, they're kinda pompous self entitled jerks...except for Lucoa but you already know that,honestly We dragons are kinda gods in our own right so no I guess I don't...BUT!"Tohru's crimson red slotted eyes flowed as she neared sentaro's face, the aura surrounding her turning an ominous shade of blue"if you're gonna be my friend...please don't start worshipping god...I hate that guy..."
"I'm agnostic so you don't have to worry about that but why do you say that? Does god exist in your world?..."
Tohru furrowed her brow and let out a deep sigh, looking up at sentaro with a firm frown"Yeah...he does.."
"Oh...do you and him not have a good history?"
"Not at all, it was a war my father and I fought in against the heavens that sent me here...he drove a magic sword into my back and the only way I could escape was to create a dimensional portal...I had never been so humbled..."she felt the spot on her back where the sword used to be embedded"or in so much pain..."
"I-I'm sorry I asked Tohru..."sentaro apologized.
"It's alright sentaro...I don't really like to talk about it, but...I guess I can trust you with this."
Tohru finished"after all, not everything was so bad about that situation, I did meet Miss Kobayashi" she cooed softly, smiling softly at the thought of the red haired woman.
"You know Tohru...I did find you guys' relationship a bit odd at first, it seemed so...bizarre...but now I realize...it's just unique...you two share an almost kinship, a deep bond of trust and understanding that I've never seen in any dragon movie I've watched! Not even how to train your dragon has anything on you guys...it's, really comforting knowing Kobayashi has someone to look after her as much as she looks after you..."
Tohru smiles and asks"you loved her a lot didn't you? She was like a second mother right?"
"Yeah, she was...the best second mom I've ever had"Sentaro sighs"Tohru...can I ask you one more thing?..."
"Sure! Go ahead."
"Um...d-do you mind if I asked you to turn into a dragon again? I really wanna see it..."
Tohru's smile never lessened and she cocked her head sideways with a sweet smile "sure!"
Outside on the roof torch releases her magic circle and grew into her colossal green form, looming over Sentaro"well? Still surprised are we?" Tohru addressed the teenage boy pridefully, her usual draconian sneer seeming almost gleeful at his visual praise, Sentaro beamed a happy smile at her, waking up to her and stroking her scales affectionately, making Tohru let out a surprised squeal, her confusion wracked snout sweat dropping"w-what are you doing?..."
"You're scales are really smooth Tohru, I've been told most reptilian skin is leathery, but your scales feel softer than silk!" Sentaro crooned, compressing his cheek against her leg, making her let out uncomfortably coos"u-uh...ok? This is weird for even a dragon...!"
Sentaro pulled away with a happy smirk"thanks Tohru! I think I came to the conclusion I wanted today!"
"Huh? What's that?..."she asked telepathically.
"That you look way more awesome as a big scary toothy dragon! But at the same time...so much more sweet, bubbly and caring as an adorable human...I..well...I know this'll sound weird...but I kinda wish I was a dragon..."
Tohru's slitted eyes widened"why's that?"
"I'd be free, free to do my own thing...to not have to follow rules or abide by some of the loose moral standards of being a normal human, granted I'm not really from here originally...but still...the kind of power you guys have, the freedom to make your own choices...it's something I've always wanted."
"Sentaro..."Tohru's gaze softened and she looked to the sky"a human younger than you once told me she wanted the same wish...to be a dragon, to have our freedom...but I was born of chaos and into it, one always fought the divine for the sake of the thirst for battle...if that all ended would I have been free? What really is freedom Sentaro?..."
"Tough question to answer...but I think is having the guts to make your own choices no matter who tells you their not the right ones! About following your heart! Look at you! You decided to stay here in this world with Kobayashi despite being a war driven creature!" Tohru gasped, not sure what to say to him.
"After all the other dragons, kanna, lucoa and fafnir followed your example right? Or did they just hitch themselves along for the ride just to make sure you don't cause trouble?"
"Erm...well..I..." she looked away nervously, trying her best not to make eye contact.
Sentaro let out a brief chortle of laughter, gathering his things up.
"Your leaving?"Tohru asked.
"Yeah I promised lucoa we'd go walking in the park today! She wants to talk about us going on a date..."
"Oh?"Tohru turned back into a human
"That's awesome! You two are really hitting it off!"
"Yeah Tohru...But...I still find it weird that...a dragon goddess would fall for a guy like me...I mean isn't it odd that...she'd randomly choose me?"
Tohru didn't answer again, and tuned slightly, going her best to keep her mouth shut, so as big to arouse suspicion"cmon Sentaro! You're overthinking this! Sometimes girls are attracted to boys for different reasons! there could be tons on why she likes you so much! You're quite a catch! Even kanna likes you!" Tohru reassures him with a bright smile on her rose shiny cheeks, her hair flowing about as she talked and her sizable breasts bouncing slightly with her movements.
Sentaro looked as if he was about to say something else but decided against it with an accepting smile.
"Yeah I guess you're right Tohru! What was I so worried about!" Sentaro let out a happy sigh. Giving Tohru a happy grin he made his way down from the roof, leaving the human Tohru with a blank, contemplative stare"...should I have...said something to him? What's really going on? Or has lucoa actually changed her mind about living here now? Is Sentaro...her reason? If so...what could he mean to her?..."
Sentaro, on his way home stopped near the old playground he used to frequent when he was little, just reflecting on the crazy events of the past, he'd been flung into the fray with these zany dragons, amazed he lasted this long without losing his sanity, he didn't even know how kobayashi did it. And yet he wants any different, like his neighboring family and their young kid Shouta, he too was from a family of well established mages from the other world and he had to live as a human, but would this world's peace last, he'd only been there a few times with lucoa and the others. To practice to get better at fighting, and using his magic, and to go on dates with Lucoa.."so I really fit in? Among dragons? Kobayashi makes it look so easy.." he smiled softly and chuckled,"still..I'm really lucky..a goddess…that hot…likes a nobody like me…but what can I do to really show her I love her? What can I?—" he was caught off guard at feeling a strange sensation ripple up his spline, he looked up to where the strange feeling had originated from atop a high rise building where he swore he saw someone or something's head dart back in recoil. "The hell was that?…" it looked like, reddish lavender hair for a moment and he swore he felt abs saw a pair of red eyes glaring at him, but he shook off the feeling abs kept on walking. Reaching a stand that was selling fish shaped Tayaki, one of his favorites and decided." Best get a snack before I head home! And those tayaki smell great!" He ran up to the stand just before they were about to close and held up his hand, claiming," 6 Tayaki please!" The man behind the truck counter chuckled gently and crooned"6 kid?! Must be hungry as heck!"
"Oh they're not all for me! I'm getting some for my—" he stopped himself, before hie face turned red, looking away murmuring," m-my girlfriend…"
"Aaaaah! I see kiddo I see..being a little Casanova and bringing your pretty little lady a gift huh? She must be a cute little things and have one heck of an appetite!"
"If you can call a millennia old beachball sized tittied magical serpent dragon goddess who can clear a buffet in 20 minute cute sure pal.." he knew her size…they had to at least be V cups, X at best…how she could walk around with a body like hers was beyond him.
"What was that kid?" The man asked.
"O-oh nothing sir! How much was that?"
"$8.02."
Sentaro handed him the money and took his warm treats with a happy", thanks a lot mister! Have a-"
"WAIT!" Screamed a raven haired girl hugging and puffing gently, her outfit constricted breasts bouncing around wildly as she caught the side of the truck and dragged herself to the counter with a faces beaded with sweat," 1-10…strawberry creme…Tayaki please…"
"Sorry little kiss I'm all sold out for the day..come on back by tomorrow though!"
"W-WHAT?! BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE MORE! EVEN WHEN YOUR STOCK IS LOW!"
"I'm sorry Elma…..but today I've used up all my ingredients and I still have a shipment coming in in 3 days…"
She started tearing up and banged her head against the counter," AT THIS RATE ILL STARVE! And I just got my paycheck today!" She cried out in dismay. Prompting Sentaro to reach into his own bag and pull out one for this woman.
"Here ma'am…uh..you do know your boobs popped out ri-"
"OH THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH! NOW I CAN MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT MY STOMACH!" The guy in the truck just smiled and nod them farewell as he closed up the sideways window and drove off down the road, elma had already scarfed down her treat abs swallowed it before she got a good look at the boy," oh! You're that boy aren't you?"
"That…boy?.." Sentaro asked.
"The one miss kobayashi likes! Sentaro…Mumiya?…"
"Mamiya…ma'am…and judging by your ravenous appetite either you're a glutton…or you're just a dragon…"
"That's really rude! I just happen to love food! That doesn't make me a—" her stomach rumbled again, and she let out a whine," ok maybe you're right…" her nose perked up and directed at him before she began sniffing him with interest," you smell…like a dragon…like Lucoa…" she gasped and backed up with a fearful look on her face,"ohhhh that's really bad! Really really bad!"
"Why…? I only smell like that because she's been super clingy lately…like stuffing my face between her boobs and rubbing her body all over me..Licking me..kissing me.."
"That's how dragons mark their territory! It's a very common thing…but..it spells danger…" she gave him a fearful frown and began sweat beading," listen…when a dragon becomes infatuated with someone or something they wish to mate with they will relentlessly mark them as their property…it's especially bad with female dragons…but that's when it all starts…they become more aggressive and hostile toward anyone who they deem a threat..to take their mate from them..in this case since you're a male that means other female dragons will flock toward you like you are prime real estate…abs there'll try to take you for themselves.."
"Why would they want me?.."
"Well even I can tell you're not like miss kobayashi or like any other human…you smell different…an irresistible quality to you…it's not just that I can sense your magical powers…it's..more familiar than that..I can tell your from that world.. but you don't know anything about it do you?…"
"N-no…"
"Then let me offer some advice.." she got a close to him as possible peering into his eyes with her vibrant blue sapphire orbs." Stay..away…from any female dragon you meet…more will start coming here..I already know it…Tohru knows it, Fafnir and Lucoa all know it…"
"S-sure…uh..but…look this is all sudden and kind of just…HAPPENING! So..you know coukd you maybe give me some pointers as to HOW I CAN AVOID THEM?!—" when he'd looked back up hoping to find her she was already halfway down the street waving back at him yelling" GOOD LUCK!"
"H-HEY GET BACK HERE YOU…UGH! What the hell am I supposed to do to avoid dragons if I don't know what I'm avoid—" a massive explosion rang out behind him as a gigantic dust cloud formed feom the debris kicked onto the air sending Sentaro reeling back abs rolling on the ground getting back up as quick as he possibly could, curling his hand into a strained shape summoning up a tiny blue ball of energy," you won't need that…you couldn't hurt me even if you tried human…" the figure whose beady red eyes pierced the rim of the dust cloud shot at him like e bullet and was on him in seconds, the same red hair, those same red eyes but with two small golden horns on her head, floating in front of him wearing a menacing, malevolent Cheshire grin of fangs opening her mouth to reveal them and her shiny tongue in all their glory," good…evening…human boy…."
He was nervously panting at this point abs tried to shoot the energy ball at her but it simply bounced out go of her cloak and breasts and dissipated on the air," oh man..that's all you had in you…pretty disappointing…" her smile disappeared and was replaced with a disgusted glare.
"we need to have a little chat…you and me…."
"Wh-who the hell are you?!"
"Hehehehehehe…my name…is Ilulu…."
