Evil Dragon, Make a Debut as a Manga Artist

My Evil Dragon Papa imagined the Young Dragon standing before his tombstone, teary-eyed, softly murmuring, "My Evil Dragon Papa," and Lance felt a strange sense of anticipation.

His enthusiasm for painting grew even stronger. He had to let the Young Dragon see this painting, to think of this scene today.

The only imperfection was that he, the Black Dragon, wasn't in the painting. It didn't matter; when the Young Dragon learned to paint in the future, she could paint one for him.

Composing himself, Lance cast the miscellaneous thoughts from his mind and focused on painting.

Standing on Turtle Turtle's back, the Young Dragon saw the Evil Dragon squatting on the beach. When she saw the easel in front of the Evil Dragon and the paints placed on either side of the Dragon Body, a look of horror appeared in her purplish-golden vertical pupils.

Oh no, the Evil Dragon is painting!

Everyone who had been painted by the Evil Dragon had died. She estimated that she wouldn't live much longer either... Huh? The Evil Dragon isn't necessarily painting her. Last night, the Evil Dragon promised her that he wouldn't paint her for the time being.

Maybe he's painting Turtle Turtle and Er Gouzi.

Then it's okay; she can safely clean Turtle Turtle's shell.

Turtle Turtle's shell was too big. The back of the shell was easy to clean, but the edges were not so easy to clean, and it was easy to slip underfoot. If she slipped, she would fall directly into the sea... To clean the edges of the shell, she had to fly while cleaning.

Er Gouzi couldn't help at all. Turtle Turtle had just warned Er Gouzi that if Er Gouzi dared to lick its shell, it would flip over and drown Er Gouzi in the sea. Turtle Turtle was quite fierce when it was angry. As night fell, Turtle Turtle carried the Young Dragon and Er Gouzi back to the island.

The Evil Dragon, who had been squatting on the beach painting, left before dark.

Lucia guessed that the Evil Dragon had probably gone to prepare the medicinal liquid for her.

After working for an afternoon, returning to the island to drink a bowl of dark green medicinal liquid, she felt that the fatigue of the day had disappeared—not! As soon as her feet touched the sand on the beach, she saw the Evil Dragon walking from afar, holding the medicinal liquid.

"Drink it, you smelly Young Dragon after drinking."

"Lance, when I was cleaning Turtle Turtle's shell, I seemed to see you squatting here painting. What did you paint?"

"I painted a Young Dragon falling into the water and a dog being smashed into the sea."

"."

What could she do about slipping? She didn't deliberately smash Er Gouzi into the sea.

Taking the stone bowl filled with dark green medicinal liquid from the Evil Dragon's Dragon Claw, the Young Dragon held her breath and drank the medicinal liquid in the stone bowl in one gulp.

After drinking the medicinal liquid, she handed the stone bowl back to the Evil Dragon, "Can... can you show us the painting you did this afternoon?"

A Chibi-style painting flew out from the Evil Dragon's Dragon Horn and slowly floated down from the air.

Lucia hurriedly caught it with her Dragon Claw. The Evil Dragon's painting skills, painting skills, and painting style were all very good, as could be seen from the portraits hanging in the Study in the Dragon Nest.

So cute (▽) She fell for it at first glance.

The Evil Dragon could actually paint such cute-style paintings.

It was too shocking for the Princess.

How could a terrifying Evil Dragon paint such a cute-style painting?

It's just that he painted her a little ugly. Was her expression so panicked when she fell?

Was her mouth open so wide?

And also, when she fell into the sea, did her head go in first?

On the canvas, an adorable Young Dragon crashed into the sea after hitting a dog, its Dragon Claws and wings flailing wildly on the surface.

Not far away, the dog that had been knocked into the sea surfaced, its two dog heads barking madly at the chubby Dragon Body, looking very angry.

There were words, there were words! The Black Dragon even added subtitles for the dog, which was a bit like those short comics published by the Imperial Capital Publishing House.

[Stupid pig-raising Young Dragon, you've knocked a big bump on my dog head!]

Behind the Young Dragon and the dog was a silly Turtle Turtle, twisting its head and looking at them in confusion, as if looking at two idiots... Was Turtle Turtle looking at her and Er Gouzi with that kind of look back then?

Impossible, Turtle Turtle has such a good personality, it must be the Black Dragon's "artistic processing."

"The art style is very cute. Go to the human world and become a cartoonist, debut as a cartoonist. The comics you draw will definitely sell well in the human world."

Lucia praised the Black Dragon. She sincerely felt that the Black Dragon's art style would be very popular in the human world, at least girls wouldn't hate it.

And children, children will also like this art style.

"Become a cartoonist?" The Black Dragon Lance's vertical pupils lit up. "Do you think if I use comics to draw a romance story of "Princess, Knight, and Evil Dragon", it will be a hit?"

"."

Why is the Black Dragon so obsessed with "romance"?

If you haven't been in a relationship, can you draw a good-looking "romance story"?

"Princess, Knight, and Evil Dragon"... Just hearing the name of this comic, you know it's not a serious comic.

Which serious comic uses this name? "Just saying, just saying... Lance, don't take it seriously. Instead of drawing comics, it's better to sell your paintings. A painting like this can be sold for a few Silver Coins, or a dozen Silver Coins, and maybe someone will buy it..."

Rich noble ladies would buy it, but ordinary people wouldn't, it's too expensive.

A few Silver Coins or a dozen Silver Coins is the living expenses of an ordinary family for two or three days, four or five days.

Selling a painting for a few Gold Coins or a dozen Gold Coins, unless the cartoonist is good-looking, even noble ladies may not be willing to spend money to buy a painting by an unknown cartoonist.

"A few Silver Coins? I can't even earn back the money for the canvas..."

"The canvas... is so expensive?"

"My specially made canvas is very expensive."

"Lance... can you... give me this painting? I want to collect it."

"Sure, I was planning to give it to you as an inheritance anyway."

"???"

In-in inheritance?

This painting... can I still take it?

It seems I can!

Speaking of inheritance, if there really is a day to leave some inheritance, then it should be her, the Princess, leaving it to the Black Dragon.

It will definitely not be the Black Dragon leaving her an inheritance.

The evil dragon could outlive her, a member of the royal family, but she couldn't outlive the evil dragon.

"Lance, can you fish?"

"Yes, I even have a fishing rod."

"Then what bait do you usually use to catch big fish?"

"Er Gouzi, if you want to catch big fish, use Er Gouzi as bait."

"..."

Er Gouzi bared its teeth at the Young Dragon. Did the evil dragon Lance pick up a dog-cursing Young Dragon? When they were catching fish at noon, why didn't he say to use a fishing rod?

That's because the evil dragon Lance occasionally uses it as bait when fishing!

The evil dragon Lance is a dog-killing fisherman... The Deep Sea Beasts in the deep sea are much bigger than those on land. With one gulp of that big mouth, it would be inside in a flash. "Er Gouzi's effect as bait is so-so. If you want to eat big fish tomorrow, I'll try a different bait."

"Big fish... want to eat, want to eat, want to eat."

The Farolyn Empire is an inland country. There are a few coastal cities. As a member of the royal family, she can eat sea fish if she wants to, but the taste is ultimately not as good as sea fish freshly caught from the sea.

"Tomorrow, you'll be the bait. I'll see if I can catch a Deep Sea Beast. The bigger the sea beast, the more delicious its meat. Young Dragon... you... where are you running off to?"

"I don't want to be bait!!!"
