Shut Up, Evil Dragon, I Don't Want to Have Children with You Again Chapter 33

Still, good intentions were good intentions—Losweiser had overlooked one thing.

That was... how could Leon, as a Dragon Slayer, so easily admit defeat before a dragon?

"I'm not trying to hurt you, Leon. You can keep this pill, but your human body definitely won't be able to withstand—"

"Losweiser," Leon interrupted.

"...Hm?"

"You promised me that you wouldn't let me die, right?"

Losweiser's eyes widened slightly. "Leon..."

"Actually, I'd been hesitating over whether to take this pill. But after hearing what you said, I'm done agonizing over it."

Boom—

Another thunderclap exploded outside.

Leon lowered his head, his black bangs veiling his eyes, and Losweiser could not see his expression.

He stared intently at the pill in his hand and said in a low voice, "So what if it's a dragon's power? I've already defeated countless Dragon Kings. What's so unbearable about one tiny pill? Losweiser... don't underestimate me."

"Courage... is humanity's hymn of praise!"

Sure enough, he was caring more and more about what Losweiser thought of him.

"Leon, you—!"

Crack—

He popped the pill into his mouth, then bit down without hesitation and swallowed.

The pill slid down his esophagus and into his stomach.

After two seconds of silence, Leon suddenly felt a burning heat in his stomach.

Thud—

Clutching his abdomen, he dropped to one knee as that burning sensation instantly spread through his entire body.

A tremendous power rampaged through him, as though it wanted to smash every blood vessel and bone in his body to pieces.

He gritted his teeth against the pain and did not make a sound.

Losweiser hurried to his side, crouching halfway down and placing a hand on his shoulder. In an instant, a warm, gentle flow of magical energy poured from her palm into Leon's body, trying to break down the pill's overwhelming potency.

This was the first time the Silver Dragon Queen had used healing magic—and she was using it on her sworn enemy.

Losweiser furrowed her brows slightly, doing her best to keep her voice from trembling.

"Leon? Leon?"

She gently shook Leon's shoulder, but the man had his eyes shut, his expression twisted in agony.

Ever since waking up, Leon had shown self-destructive tendencies. If not for his daughters still being by his side, he probably would have long since tried every possible way to end his own life.

When Losweiser saw that her healing magic was not working, she hastily rose, intending to find a dragon physician to treat Leon.

Inwardly, she cursed Leon as a madman. But unlike him, she did not have the courage to stake her own life on a gamble.

Yet before she could leave his side, Leon suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Losweiser turned back. Leon was still kneeling there, one hand gripping her wrist and the other pressed over his stomach.

"Watch closely, Silver Dragon Queen. This is humanity's courage and... determination."

Crack, crack—

A dim blue electric glow suddenly burst from the hand covering his stomach, and Leon's body began to tremble faintly.

Losweiser's pupils shook. "You're using Lightning magic on your own body... You really are a... madman, Leon."

Though she said that, Losweiser still crouched beside Leon again, supporting his shoulder and offering him something to lean on. At the same time, she used her own magical energy to help him break down the savage force within him.

Without realizing it, she held Leon tightly, feeling his pain and shudders.

A moment later, Leon stopped trembling, and the sparks of Lightning magic around him gradually faded.

He rested briefly, then tried clenching his fist.

It was that familiar... strength.

Seeing this, Losweiser finally let out a relieved breath.

Still, she did not congratulate Leon or express any happiness for him.

Losweiser wiped the sweat from her forehead, then suddenly realized that their embrace was far too intimate. She hurriedly stood and backed away two steps.

Seeing that Leon was fine, Losweiser turned to leave.

But the moment she turned around, she immediately felt as though someone had grabbed her tail.

Her face darkened. Turning back, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let go, bastard."

Leon wore a dazed grin, his gaze unfocused and his face slightly flushed, as though he had drunk himself senseless.

It was as though... he had fallen under some kind of illusion magic.

In Leon's eyes at that moment, Losweiser was no longer the noble, aloof Silver Dragon Queen.

She sat beside him, her smile sweet and adorable, her voice gentle as water—she was plainly the... Wife who had spent years living alongside him.

And what he said next was even more explosive.

"Where are you going?—Wife?"

Queen:?

Losweiser's lips twitched slightly.

"Wh-who's your wife? Let go of me."

As she spoke, Losweiser tried to pull her tail from Leon's grasp.

But Leon simply gathered her entire tail into his arms.

Losweiser's waist went weak, yet she reached out as well, grabbing the base of her own tail and trying to wrench it back by force.

But who knew what sort of madness had possessed Leon? Not only did he clutch her tail, he even rubbed his face all over it.

"That's enough, you bastard! Give my tail back to me!"

She was used to Leon's usual tough, stubborn attitude, so she was somewhat unaccustomed to this...

Uh.

What was this behavior called?

Drunken antics?

Acting cute?

Ah, whatever!

Just give this old lady's tail back!

As Losweiser tugged at the base of her tail, she raised a foot and planted it against Leon's chest, using it as leverage as she began a "tug-of-war" with him.

"Wife!"

He called out that "wife" with crisp, standard enunciation.

As though he were enlisting in the army.

A flush quietly spread across Losweiser's face, but she still ignored Leon and continued pulling at her tail.

"Wife! Why are you ignoring me?!"

"...Ignore you? I'll ignore your lungs!"

After taking Dragon's Might, Leon's physical condition had indeed recovered quickly.

Losweiser couldn't pull her tail back through brute strength alone.

"Wife~ You went back to your family home for two years, I missed you to death~"

Tired from pulling, Losweiser stood by the bed with her hands on her hips to rest. "Believe me, Dragon Slayer—if your future wife really goes back to her family home for two years, there can only be one reason: you're about to become an ex-husband."

"Wife, don't be mad at me anymore, okay~ I'll never dirty your skirt again!"

Losweiser scratched the tip of her nose.

Though Leon was clearly losing his mind right now, why did this way of speaking look so familiar...

After thinking for a moment, Losweiser suddenly understood.

"Mu En."

When this guy was serious, he was like Noa;

when he went crazy, he was like Mu En.

Truly worthy of being their biological father—even Losweiser couldn't help sighing that inwardly.

But what had caused him to go crazy...?

Losweiser stroked her chin, frowning in thought.

Dragon's Might should only strengthen the body. After taking it, there shouldn't be symptoms like... mental confusion, or even hallucinations.

Leon sat at the edge of the bed, holding Losweiser's tail like it was some great treasure, swaying it back and forth.

Watching him, Losweiser raised a hand to her chest and tried to sense her dragon mark.

No response.

"Looks like he's really just going crazy."

Losweiser had never encountered symptoms like these before, and had no idea how long they would last.

But since the dragon mark wasn't reacting, the daughters were probably all asleep. There was no need for her to hurry off.

Losweiser let out a breath and sat down beside Leon.

She let him keep holding her tail for now, no longer planning to take it back.

But Leon still wouldn't settle down.

"Wife~"

"..." Losweiser didn't want to pay him any attention.

"Wife, wife~"

"Drop dead somewhere far away."

"Wifewifewifewifewife—"

"Ahhh, fine, fine, I'm here, I'm here. What is it? Speak."

Losweiser truly couldn't outstubborn an idiot going crazy from being high on drugs.

Though her mouth was full of disdain, the blush on Losweiser's face only deepened.

Even she herself hadn't realized that when Leon called her "wife," there was actually the tiniest, tiniest little bit of... happiness in her heart?

"I want a second child, wife." Leon looked dead serious.

"...You haven't even properly taken care of the two from the first pregnancy, and you want a second child? Dream on."

"I want a second child, I want one! Let's have a second child tomorrow, okay!"

Losweiser silently covered her face.

No.

The sense of déjà vu from this "grown male Mu En gone insane" was far too strong.

Could it be that, deep within the heart of this great Dragon Slayer, there really was such an absurd side to him?

"Say something, wife. Let's have a second child, okay?"

"Ah, okay, okay, we'll have a second child, a second child. Not only that—we'll have a third and fourth one too."
