Chapter 15 - Love confession (Edited)

I'm looking at a scenario that in my previous life I thought was impossible.

A purple sky.

I'm riding on the back of a huge dragon. It's a pale blue western dragon with sky blue scales.

The view from the air is fantastic. I can feel the air colliding with my scales.

Yes, my scales.

I'm a dragon too. To be more exact, I'm an Evil Child Dragon, and my scales are black as coal.

Imagine the scene, a dragon on top of another dragon. To be more precise, a six-foot dragon on top of a dragon that's over 20 feet tall.

The dragon I'm riding is none other than Tiamat, the Chaos Karma Dragon. She has brought me to the underworld to complete a mission she has given me.

The mission that she has "given" me (I hadn't any option to reject her. Basically, she has forced me) is to investigate the laboratory of one of the branches of the Naberius family.

That's on the surface, the real mission is to kill the devils and increase my experience. According to Tia, I have the backing of Ajuka Beelzebub and can kill as many devils as I want.

Why does a Maou help me get up from Lv?

I have no idea.

But I'm not going to complain. If you want to help me move up, so be it.

Tiamat is landing. I reiterate what I said before, flying over a dragon is very similar to flying in an airplane.

I wonder when I'll be able to fly for myself.

Even though I have the [Characteristic skill [Flight: Lv1]], I can't fly. At most, I can clumsily flap my wings and soar a few meters.

I still remember when Tiamat saw me while trying to fly. How embarrassing...

"Don't rush things. Your wings are just starting to develop, and they don't have the strength yet to let you fly."

What a shame. What a shame. What a shame.

We've already hit the ground, so I jump off Tiamat's back and fall to the ground.

"We have already reached the place."

I'm sorry, Tiamat, but you've made a mistake. There's nothing here but an ordinary mountain.

"Draco, you must learn to look beyond what your eyes see."

For a moment, for a brief moment, I doubted Tiamat's sanity. How could you look at what your eyes couldn't see?

But she's Tiamat, there's no way she can say anything stupid.

"What do I have to do with it?"

"It would lose its fun if I told you. You have to think about it for yourself."

She has returned to her human form. She's so beautiful...

I cannot separate my gaze from her blue eyes, the same color as her hair and scales. Her navy blue skirt shows her thin legs and highlights her curvy figure.

Pah!

"Argh, that hurts."

I'm complaining because Tiamat hit me on the forehead. At least she has measured her strength, as my brain would have been wholly pulverized if she had used 10% of her total power. No, I'm sure I wouldn't survive either if she had used 5%.

That's the difference in strength between the strongest Great Dragon King and me.

"You don't even try to hide your lecherous gaze. If I wasn't your mother, you'd be dead by now."

Chill!

So much pressure. I can feel it. That invisible draconian aura surrounding Tiamat, it's very frightening.

"It's impossible not to have l.u.s.tful thoughts about a woman as beautiful as you, Tia."

I know I'm gonna get hit, but I don't care. I have to make her understand my feelings from the first moment so that she doesn't think wrong thoughts later.

Tiamat! I don't see you as a mother but as a woman!

Oi, why haven't I been beaten yet?

"Are you serious?"

Tiamat speaks in a weak voice, her pale skin has a slight blush.

Oi, oi, oi.

This dragon, who has lived for thousands of years, is she making such a beautiful, youthful face?

You know the face I'm talking about. The one the girls wear on a shoujo manga when the pretty boy on duty confesses to them.

If she makes that face when I praise her, it means I still have a chance, right?

I have to attack! Come on, Draco, let's go on the offensive!

"Yes! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I fell in love with you the very moment my eyes fell on your body. Your beauty surpasses anything my eyes have ever seen."

Not bad, Draco. Not bad.

This must have reach you, right? It's impossible for a confession on that level not to stir the heartstrings of a maiden.

"Puchi"

Huh? This reaction... It's a little different than I expected.

Her blush was supposed to spread, a couple of hearts were supposed to form in her pupils, and she was supposed to throw herself into my arms.

Yeah. That's what should have happened.

So... why is Tiamat laughing?

"Not bad for your first love declaration, Little Draco."

Of course, it's not bad! Who do you think I am? I'm Draco, the one who's going to become the most powerful dragon in the universe. Great Red will be my mount, and Ophis will just be a servant.

"Let me ask you a question, Draco. Other than me, have you seen any other girls?"

"Ah?"

Okay, come on, Draco. Take a deep breath and relax.

Wooosh

Haaaaa

Okay, I've calmed down.

Now, I have a momentous question. Should I tell Tiamat the truth? Or should I tell her the half-truth?

The truth would be that she's not the first woman I've seen. After all, I'm a reincarnate and have vague memories of my past life.

Although a certain goddess promised me that I would remember my whole past life.

Damn goddess...

Also, there was that little girl Miria, the one I saved some days ago.

"See, you haven't seen one. How do you know I'm so beautiful? Don't be silly. Discover a little of the world, and when you can say I'm beautiful from your own experiences with other women, come back to me and repeat what you said."

Oi, you haven't given me time to respond. Well, I've been quiet for a long time, so she'll have assumed the answer.

I'll leave it at that. I think it'll be better for me in the long run. My memories of the past life are vague, so it's time to move on and not think about it anymore.

Tyson died, now it's Draco's turn to live.

Sigh-

I don't know why, but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my back.

"And I have something else to tell you. I would only consider you my mate if your strength was greater than mine. And there aren't many male dragons that have that strength, to say the least. Crom Cruach may have that strength, but he has no interest in women."

I take back what I said earlier. I think the weight has just been replaced on my back, and it is ten times heavier than the previous one.
