Chapter 4 - Dragon Girl (3) (1/2)

While I pressed down on my injuries, I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes.

I didn’t have time to be crying.

I saw that person running away with my own eyes. Since there wasn’t killing intent, I held back, but I should have inflicted quite an injury.

It would be impossible to come here before I came back.

If so, there was only one conclusion.

There was someone else that was here. Someone who snuck into the nest in a way I wouldn’t notice and kidnapped “those children”.

I thought that it was strange.

That woman’s slashes stung sometimes. Even though she had chances, she never stepped into my territory.

Her objective was definitely to stall for time. Yes, she was a decoy.

I was careless. I must have been exhausted after coming out of the attenuation period.

Moreover, It was the first time I had a fight where I had something to protect. There were many things different than usual, but I was oblivious to them.

It’s so vexing. I was frustrated and began to cry.

It’s not like I never expected it to happen, I had no idea why it did. But, I gave birth, to my offspring. I’m a mom with neither preparation nor resolution, but it’s too much to part with them without the experience of being a mom.

I couldn’t stop crying. However, I also had no time to wipe the tears.

For the time being, I took a white dress on the top of the clothing case and stuck my head through it without thinking, since I lost my clothes in the previous battle.

The horn got caught in it. It was my favorite dress, but I ripped it. It wasn’t worth worrying about right now.

“Those children” are still close.
