"Right, long time no see. Or is this the first time we've met? Do you still remember me? I was quite angry when I heard that you lost your memories again. After all, we had such a good relationship back in the day. "
She had golden skin and beast-like eyes that seemed to be smiling. Her cheeks were flushed red, and she laughed out loud before even saying anything. Her neatly combed golden braids extended all the way to her waist. Although I had no memories of her at all, she didn't seem like someone dangerous who would threaten to kill me.
"Yep, if you don't remember, I can reintroduce myself. I'm Evelyn Savin. You can call me Little Seven."
She had a strange name and strange numbers. However, I became even more vigilant against this seemingly friendly existence. This wasn't only because she had threatened me in the past, but also because she was obviously a dragon in human form.
She had faint draconic might and golden draconic eyes. Any ordinary person would think that she was a dignified Gold Dragon, but judging from her friendly smile, she was likely one of the most dangerous types of dragons — Copper Dragons.
This was a type of Metal Dragon that was considered to be a good dragon. Their main habitat was in desert areas. They were adept at digging holes and often lived in their own underground nests. They also didn't like to attack people. However, if tourists and traveling merchants were to list the most troublesome dragons, the Metal Dragon Brass Dragon would easily crush most of the evil dragons, the Color Dragons. They would at least be ranked in the top three.
Indeed, Copper Dragons didn't like to fight or attack others. However, they were especially talkative. They were skilled at telling jokes, telling stories, telling stories, and so on. These personal hobbies all needed an audience … Fine then, let's just say that Copper Dragons were basically talkative. And it just so happened that their desert villas were usually completely empty. So, if they got too lonely, someone would naturally be unlucky.
Of course, as Metal Dragons, Copper Dragons didn't like to attack or fight. They preferred to create a sandstorm so that travelers would unknowingly enter the Copper Dragon's lair. Travelers would often accidentally see priceless treasures scattered all over the ground. When the Copper Dragons "attacked," the original owner of the Copper Dragon "coincidentally" returned and caught them red-handed.
Then the dragon will threaten to eat you, unless you have a reason to tell him stories for seventy-two hours, or to hear him tell bad jokes for seventy-two hours, with no rest or repetition! If you didn't do a good job, the Copper Dragon would even bare its fangs and threaten you. It wouldn't let you go unless it forced you clean. However, you couldn't beat it, couldn't escape, and even felt that you were in the wrong. The seventy-two hours were often over, and the only time it could be released was when the Copper Dragon felt that if it continued, it would drive you crazy.
In the end, a lot of newbies who had just started out would change careers and go back home to farm after being tormented once … Yep, I did encounter one in the past, but wasn't the result just more nagging than anyone else? That guy and I talked about Buddhist scriptures and 'I think, therefore I exist' for two months. In the end, that guy seemed to have become an ascetic monk and left all his treasures to me.
Cough, the Copper Dragon was quite annoying even amongst the Dragons. The Copper Dragons and the Blue Dragons, who lived in the same desert region, were usually mortal enemies. Some people believed that this was due to a competition for territory, or that the Metal Dragons and Color Dragons had a long-standing grudge against each other. However, I personally felt that it was simply because the serious and stubborn Blue Dragons and the Copper Dragons, who loved to joke, chat, and prank each other.
"Right, I'm quite interested in that prank you played recently. Could you give me some of those Slimes of yours? I feel like Dragon World is too boring. It's time for me to get some exercise. "
"Exercise? Are you trying to play a prank on me? Stinky Slimes aren't very effective against Dragons, but I have some Slimes that are capable of stealing precious metals. If you agree to give me half of them, I can lend them to you. "
"That won't be necessary. Stealing the treasures of other Dragons in Dragon World is taboo. If you're caught, you'll be exiled from Dragon World. I don't intend to become a wanted criminal by all Dragons. Right, do you have any Slimes that are capable of dyeing and exploding? I intend to host a banquet … "
We walked down the underground tunnel, chatting as we walked. It seemed like we were having a great time chatting, but I was actually on full alert. That was because this invitation had been quite unnatural from the very start.
"Um … I hope you'll survive."
Halent's parting words almost caused me to turn around and leave right in front of this underground tunnel. However, Evelyn, who had come to greet me, was now standing right in front of me. I was indeed quite curious about the name "Evelyn" that I had heard the moment I entered Bardi, so I followed her.
"Why did you want to see me?"
"Ha, I'm not the one looking for you. It's Evelyn Tuer. Yep, she's our second sister. Right, if Third Sister wakes up, you should hurry and escape. She really wants to kill you. "
"It's really dark and difficult to walk here, isn't it? I really don't know why they chose to build their nest here, even though Dragon World's environment is so good."
"It rained again yesterday, and the ground was so slippery that I accidentally tripped and fell."
"Oh, it's so boring. It's not like Second Sister allows us to go out, so we're always here. There's no one to talk to."
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you curious just how many sisters we have? Why are we all called Evelyn? Let me tell you, we have ten sisters, but I think that Little Eleven will be born in another two years. "
"Why aren't you saying anything? Right, do you know how to tell jokes?"
I also wanted to say something, but shouldn't you at least give me a chance to talk?
Ever since we came down, the Bronze Dragon had never stopped chattering. Although it was indeed relaxing to chat with a beautiful woman, I was unable to keep up with her rapid talking speed. She didn't even wait for my reply.
I finally understood why the Bronze Dragon, who couldn't even keep her mouth shut, was here to greet me. How could I possibly have the energy to investigate her? I just wanted her to shut up!
"… I do. Let me tell you a story. Humans are born from their mothers, and demons are born from their mothers …"
In order to deal with a naggy person, you either had to ignore them or be even more naggy than them, making them speechless and bored. However …
"But we Dragons are born from eggs. Isn't that the same? Are we supposed to be called the eggs' mothers? Speaking of mothers, let me tell you, our mothers are quite irresponsible … "
Alright then, she instantly stole the topic of conversation. She then started talking about how the vegetable I had eaten for lunch yesterday had two wormholes on its sixth leaf, and how careless her sisters were.
When she started talking about how she took care of her dragon scales, how the dragon next door actually stayed in its egg for an extra three and a half hours, causing the Bronze Dragons to anxiously hold a meeting to research it, only to go off topic in the end. I really wanted to find something to seal her mouth with.
"How can all the Bronze Dragons not go off topic!? Forget about being a chatterbox, at least talk about something useful! Forget about being a chatterbox, at least remember to punctuate! I feel like there are dozens of flies flying around my ears! "
But unfortunately …
"I …"
"Right, we already knew when you arrived. It's your fault for being so shameless as to open the message from back then."
"You …"
"Heehee, I know that I'm a natural beauty. I don't need your praise."
"She's …"
"Ohhhh, this is my Fifth Sister. You're so lucky. She always sleeps in, but you actually met her when she's awake. Isn't she cute? Heh, I'm not trying to say that I'm cute, but I'm super cute to begin with."
She spoke faster and faster, and I was unable to interrupt no matter what. It would seem that the Bronze Dragon from back then wasn't powerful enough. No wonder Bronze Dragons were considered the most dangerous dragon species. These adult Bronze Dragons didn't listen to humans at all!
The blue-haired girl who passed by viciously glared at me, her eyes flashing with electricity. She seemed to be a Blue Dragon. How could these two species of dragons, who were mortal enemies, become sisters?
But it seemed that I finally reached the end of the tunnel. I turned a corner, and everything suddenly became clear.
A gigantic silver dragon head was staring at me. This was a mega gigantic creature. Just the dragon's eye alone was taller than a person. What was even more ridiculous was that this was actually a three-headed dragon that I had never heard of before. Her two equally gigantic heads seemed to be in a deep sleep.
There were several figures standing on top of the dragon's head. When I looked closely, I discovered that they all had identical faces and different hair colors. It was obvious that they were the sisters that Evelyn Savin mentioned.
"No! I've never heard of Cher mentioning a three-headed dragon before. Are you Cher's mother? "
However, the gigantic dragon's head started shaking, denying my guess.
"No, to be honest, Shirley is our real mother."
