Chapter 25 - My Intelligent Teacher (Part 3)

25、吾的老师就该学富五车（下）

Go find the humans, that was such a wise and farsighted answer. This was just like an unparalleled martial artist running to a primary school student who just finished their classes and ask them how to do a perfect horse stance.

Then the school kid made a posture of an old man sitting on the toilet bowl while looking at the martial artist with shining eyes.

Are you still a mother ⓕⓤⓒⓚⓘⓝⓖ dragon?! How can you even come up with a suggestion like this? It’s like a millionaire trying to ask a beggar sitting in front of their house for money. Please, man, try to think about your own honor!

Alright, never mind, I nearly forgot Akarin was an organism without pride.

As soon as those words left Akarin’s mouth, all the dragons looked at him with disdain. Mother took it one step further as she directly channeled magic power into her fist, “I will give you thirty seconds to say your last words.”

Akarin’s grayish body turned white from fright. “Wait! I have a reason!” He said in haste while waving his claws to and fro.

“Fifteen seconds left,” mother announced with a blank face. It seemed like she didn’t have the intention to stop the countdown of death.

“T- That is… uh…” Akarin was so scared that he got tongue-tied. After wasting ten seconds, he finally managed to say: “My queen, do you remember Taylor? Didn’t he once help the human emperor establish the Holy Dragon Empire and become its protector?”

“You have ten more seconds,” mother’s tone was cold yet firm.

“Because of him, the Holy Dragon Empire was a nation with extreme reverence for us dragons. That’s why, in the Holy Dragon Empire, even if the human knows dragon language is useless to them, there will still be some who specially study the dragon language. We can find those people who specialize in dragon language and have them teach the princess,” In one breathe, Akarin finished all that within ten seconds.

Hearing Akarin’s words, mother’s countdown of death stopped at three seconds. She squinted her eyes as she considered the feasibility.

T- there’s such a workaround? You went and asked the beggar for money, and he actually took out one piece of gold from his ragged cloak, then squeezed it into your hands while saying: “I have been indebted to you all these time, take this as my gratitude, you don’t need to pay me back.”

It’s just that...

“Isn’t the dragon language unique to dragons?” I asked Akarin.

Akarin took out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped his sweat. That handkerchief was big enough to cover my whole body. When he heard my question, Akarin answered with a forced smile, “There’s no such restriction! Dragon language is essentially one kind of language as well. However, only those of dragon blood can resonate with the words and make use of their inherent magic, to a certain degree. That’s why the great ancestor engraved the dragon language into our bloodline. Anyone can learn it, even those without dragon bloodline. However, there’s no ⓕⓤⓒⓚⓘⓝⓖ use for them to learn the dragon language.”

...Then what were you guys howling for? And here I was worried not knowing dragon language was a really big flaw. Don’t scare me like that, you ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓⓢ, I feel like some of my brain cells had died from that shock!

Right now, I really wanted to find the 199.95 meters of sword blade that the great ancestor lost and stick it into these ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓⓢ’ ⓐⓢⓢⓗⓞⓛⓔ so that they would have fecal incontinence for a lifetime.

Perhaps he noticed the change in my complexion, Akarin prudently said, “Princess, do you dislike the idea of having a human to teach you? Then how about to find a demon? Or an elf? Even a beastman is fine too. As long as the princess said the word, whatever the race, I will go grab it for you.”

It’s not like I’m trying to open a freak show, why do I need so many races?

However… when he mentioned human, my heart that was as calm as the lake surface suddenly formed ripples as though a rock had just been dropped into the lake. I was unable to remain calm anymore as the ripples spread throughout my heart.

Not long ago, I was a human as well! And a great ⓑⓔⓔⓟ--- no less. In just half a day, I have turned from a great ⓑⓔⓔⓟ--- into the dragon princess. This world sure is full of surprising things. But that was just a little disturbance in my heart, it was not to the point of reminiscing about my past life.

Perhaps that was due to the fact that I had too many bad memories as a human.

I turned around and tugged on my mother's sleeve while she was still weighing the options. "Mom, let's have the human teach me."

“Are you sure you wouldn’t regret it?” Mother asked with a face full of worry.

“No problem here, didn’t they also regularly go to the human world to learn their crafts? Besides, I want to master dragon language as quickly as possible,” I pointed at the group of dragons who learned many strange skills from the humans.

Don’t joke with me, if they couldn’t find someone capable of teaching me, I’ll have to stick with those idiots with holes in their brain. I would definitely feel more regretful that way.

“I see… very well then,” after mother gave it some more thought, she finally agreed, “Akarin, you immediately head for the Holy Dragon Empire and find a suitable candidate. Bring him back before tomorrow is up.”

Akarin heaved a breath of relief, then he answered promptly, “Yes, my queen!”

Along with a flash of flight, Akarin disappeared from where he stood. He must have used teleport magic and directly moved to the Holy Dragon Empire.

After Akarin left, mother turned around to point at the Dragon Monument. The moment she did, the huge monument gradually faded away as though it had been washed away by water, then it eventually disappeared.

“It’s quite late already, let’s end the birth festival here. You guys should return and do whatever you were doing,” mother waved at the dragons, then she looked at me with a blush, “As for my dear daughter… you can sleep with mommy tonight. We still have so many beautiful clothes we haven’t tried~”

As I looked at my mother closing in on me, I grieved in my heart, ‘Is there no way I can escape the fate of being mother’s dress-up doll?’

Don’t joke with me! I was taken advantage of since I couldn’t speak before, but now, I should have my right to reject.

“I don’t want,” I tried hard to pull a long face, expressing my determination to refuse.

Hm-hm-hm, even if you are my mother, I bet you won’t be able to do those shameful things on me when I am rejecting this firmly.

But just as she heard my words, a visible black fog visible could be seen rising from mother’s body...

“My dear daughter only learned how to talk and she is already rejecting mommy… Uuuuuu… I am so sad, is there any point for this world that won’t let me change my daughter into good-looking clothes to exist? Might as well just let me destroy it,” mother made a declaration to destroy the world with lifeless eyes.

Evilize… She has been completely evilized! Q- quick, somebody go save your queen and this about-to-be-destroyed world!

I looked at the surrounding dragons to seek for help.

“Gosh! It seems like I have forgotten to turn off the fire of the stove when I left my house.”

“Ahh, looks like it’s about to rain, I should go home and collect the clothes.”

“I should also go home and breast-feed my child.”

“Oh right, me too…”

More than a thousand dragons instantly disappeared along with many a flash of light.

These groups of rotten eggs!! If you want to escape, at least find a better reason than that! What dragons would be worried about leaving the fire unattended?! Was it more important than saving the world? What’s more, the sky is so dark, how could you tell it’s going to rain? Weather forecast? And what I couldn’t stand the most was… Dragons are oviparous creatures, what kind of frigging breast milk do you have?! A rotten cow’s milk?

I gulped as I shiveringly looked at the black fog that became more terrifying with the passing of time...

It’s not like I’m terrified okay? I’m just making a little compromise to save this about-to-be-destroyed world.

Therefore, I had no choice but to suppress my sorrow and put up a sweet act, “Actually, I was only joking earlier. I love mommy the most~”

“R- really? In other words, even if mommy tries out the remaining 109,869 clothes, you won’t get angry?” as mother grabbed my hand, her gloomy face instantly brightened up.

Women are indeed creatures that switched gears as quickly as flipping a book.

“En,” but I could only endure this heartache and answered as such.
