Refusing Starts With Me

"I haven't asked yet, who is she?"

"My creditor."

Ruby's answer was still concise, and he quickly and clearly explained to Philoxis why Mayona had appeared and was staying there.

"Huh? Something like that happened?"

Philoxis was confused after hearing the story. There were many illogical points, but the Dragon race's not-so-intelligent mind couldn't figure it out for a moment. After all, paying back debts was a normal thing.

"By the way, Ruby, why did you help her take a bath so seriously? You could have just gone through the motions."

Mayona turned her attention back to Ruby. In her opinion, Ruby was asking for trouble. It would have been good enough if she hadn't spat in the bathwater, but he even used body wash on her!

"Since we agreed on the conditions, I have to complete them seriously. Only if she's satisfied will she stop destroying the water source."

"Then let me ask you, did she give you any benefits, like money or anything?"

"No."

"So you agreed to help her bathe because she unreasonably occupied this water source, right? In other words, she used her superior strength to pressure you, right?"

"That's true, but little sister, what you're saying is a bit..."

Philoxis felt the topic was leading in a disadvantageous direction. To be honest, she also felt Ruby had worked hard and had been trying to find ways to compensate him. Now that Mayona had laid it all out, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Shut up. This isn't a transaction, it's just simple oppression. But it's different now. Ruby has me. I won't let you bully him anymore."

Mayona glared at the Poison Dragon. Although the Dragon race was old, she shouldn't be called a little sister. Where was she small!

"A mere human, you're too arrogant. Although I haven't killed anyone with my own hands, you've already provoked the dignity of the Dragon race... Strange, what level of Mage are you? Why do I...?"

Philoxis intended to scare the ungrateful human in front of her, but she found that the magic power fluctuations she felt from her were very complex. Before she could understand what those fluctuations meant, ten circular magic arrays, each engraved with mysterious runes, suddenly appeared above her head. Each one was twice as large as the one below it, and the topmost magic array was already as large as a mountain.

"This is just a warning. If you insist on bullying Ruby, Meteor Fall will directly smash onto your head."

"An Archmage..."

The surprise on Philoxis's face slowly turned into a bitter expression. She had heard about an Archmage appearing in human society. She didn't expect to be so unlucky as to run into her. She recognized the magic arrays above her head. It was just the ordinary level nine fire and earth combined magic, Meteor Fall. It wasn't even a forbidden spell. Normally, she would only get a scratch from this blow. But Mayona's move was too much. There were ten magic arrays. Once Meteor Fall descended, it would absorb the magic power from the magic arrays below to increase its power. She didn't even dare to imagine what it would become in the end.

The most terrifying thing was that Mayona had even skipped the incantation time, completing this terrifying magic as if she were just breathing. This was also the basis for her recognizing Mayona's identity. The title of Archmage was well-deserved.

"Alright, don't scare her anymore. Although the origin of the matter is similar to what you said, taking a bath isn't that troublesome for me. Isn't it better than her destroying the human water source again?"

"Hmph."

Mayona snorted and dispersed the magic arrays. She could have easily dealt with the Poison Dragon on the spot and for good. However, she knew that the naive guy next to her wouldn't agree.

"Since you said so, I can only try my best to compensate Ruby. Due to the rules of the Dragon race, I cannot give you wealth. However, based on my years of observing humans, humans like two things the most: money and women. If you don't mind, I'll pay with my body."

Philoxis said generously. Dragons had always been associated with wealth. Their rule was that you couldn't give wealth to others before you died. If you had the ability, go and snatch it. If you couldn't snatch it, what kind of Dragon were you! So what else could be done? Pay with her body.

In reality, Miss Poison Dragon was quite shy. She knew how to hide her private parts when bathing, but as a human, she wasn't that embarrassed. After all, this wasn't a form she used often, and she was completely fine with Ruby being the recipient.

"Ooooh! Really! If I could spend that time with such a top-tier woman, I'd trade ten thousand years of my life for it!"

Before Ruby could react, Dragon started shouting. In his eyes, Philoxis was a top-tier woman no matter how he looked at it. Unfortunately, he wasn't human. However, he thought watching from Ruby's head was also a good choice.

"Dragon, how long can you live?" Ruby asked.

"Probably until humans no longer want to mate. As long as that exists, I won't die... Ah!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? How could Ruby possibly agree to your condition? Go play by yourself."

Mayona threw the broken tree branch on the ground and stomped on it. Then she said to Philoxis. She knew Ruby too well. He was a man whose interest in stones surpassed his interest in her!

"But Ruby seems very interested."

Philoxis pointed at Ruby, who was stroking his chin and thinking, clearly confident of victory.

"Wh-what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about the probability of a Dragon getting pregnant after turning into a human. I've done experiments. In this form, Philoxis's bodily fluids are not poisonous. Moreover, her internal organs are exactly the same as a human's, and she has a uterus. So I think the probability of pregnancy should be quite high."

"Wait, wait, wait, explain yourself. Did you agree? Paying with your body or something..."

"Hmm? What are you saying? I'm not an ascetic. Why wouldn't I agree? Philoxis and I have known each other for quite some time."

"But, isn't that something you can only do after marriage?"

"Are you a maiden from the feudal era? As long as it's consensual, you can do it anytime."

"Fine! You scoundrel, you're just like Dragon. I don't care about you anymore!"

Mayona turned away in a huff, ignoring Ruby. She really couldn't think of any reason to stop Ruby, she was just simply unhappy. As expected, the owner of that wouldn't be a good person!

"Are we doing it here?"

Philoxis generously pulled off her bath towel. Her mature body was like a heavy fruit waiting to be picked, and the person just needed to nod to have it.

"Hmm... Let's forget it. After my calculations, there's a high probability you'll get pregnant."

Ruby thought about it and still refused the tempting fruit. Just as he had said to Aqua before, he wasn't ready to be a father yet.

"I don't mind. I don't have a partner yet anyway."

"There are too many unknown things about Dragons. If you turn back into your original form during pregnancy, what will happen to the child? You don't have a partner for now, and you might meet a Dragon you like in the future. It might be difficult to accept if it's discovered that you have a child with a human."

"That's why I don't mind. You can just be the child's father."

"You are a long-lived Dragon race, you should find a dragon to keep you company, not a human who will be found dead after you fall asleep."

"And most importantly, I judged this matter too calmly. There is no rational thinking in such matters. Under the stimulation of hormones, it is best for both parties to be overwhelmed and act on instinct, yes."

"You really are a troublesome human."

Philoxis's head was spinning from listening to Ruby's theory. She couldn't understand what Ruby was thinking at all. The Dragon, however, understood. In short, his partner was acting like a jerk. If the Poison Dragon young lady just forcefully pushed him down, he would abandon all thought under the stimulation of hormones. However, for his own life, he still didn't dare to offer any advice.

"Mayona, go back to sleep."

"Hmph."

Mayona had been listening to Ruby with her ears perked up. Only now did she reluctantly let out a hmph and followed Ruby's footsteps.
