“I finally found you!”
The shiny black dragon that suddenly appeared in front of us transformed into a human girl. She was a pretty girl with skin a beautiful shade of brown. She was probably seven to eight years old like Philia.
Kuro was still stuffing her face with sushi when the stranger ran over to her crying, “It’s terrible, Kuro nee-sama!”
Kuro rolled her eyes while a grain of rice was still stuck to her cheek.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing here?”
“I’m here to bring you back home, of course!” she exclaimed, stumbling over her words a little in excitement.
“Nee-sama… Does that mean you’re Kuro’s little sister?”
“They look pretty similar, don’t they?”
At the very least, they were definitely both Shiny Black Dragons.
They were likely related as her jet-black hair and brown skin resembled Kuro quite strongly. Especially her eyes[1].
“Let’s go back home already!” said the little girl, tugging at the sleeve of Kuro’s clothes.
I shouted over the counter.
“Well, well. I don’t know exactly what happened, but let’s calm down for now, Chiro-chan.”
“Don’t go and arbitrarily name someone else’s little sister!”
It’s Chibi Kuro, so it’s Chiro (Budget Kuro).
“Nee-sama! Why are you with a bunch of lowly humans?”
Chiro glared at us, then glanced back at Kuro and exclaimed, “Don’t tell me you’ve become friends with a human!”
“Wh-wh-wh-what are you s-saying!?” denied the panicking Kuro.
That’s right. She’s more like a pet than a friend.
”You’re someone who will stand in the Dragon Court in the future!You don’t have the time to play around with the likes of humans!”
Chiro-chan seems to look down on people quite a bit.
“Hey, Chiro-chan.”
“Are you really calling my name?! You don’t even deserve to say my name!”
“Try this on for size first.”
“What’s that! Humph! What self-respecting dragon would eat the likes of human foo-chewchew!?”
I used Teleport to put a handful of ootoro in Chiro’s mouth.
“It’s sooooooooooooooooo good!?”
Chiro’s eyes widened.
Her cheeks drooped sluggishly, and her eyelids threatened to drop in pleasure.
“Haah…. It almost seems a bit wasteful to swallow that…”
“You can have seconds if you like.”
“Are you for real?!”
I gave her the negitoro gunkan-maki[2] to try next.
“Yummy! This is delicious too! Give me more – is what you thought I’d say isn’t it?!”
Chiro came back to her senses as if electrocuted.
“Nee-sama!”
“Chew chew chew chew chew”
“It’s not the time to be eating things like that right now!”
“Don’t tell me what to do!”
Chiro approached Kuro and raised her voice, “It’s a disaster! We should hurry up and go home! Mother is furious!”
“Our mother?!”
Kuro paled when she heard that her mother was angry.
Apparently, their mother is a scary woman.
“Well, well. Why don’t you relax and have a little something to eat, Chiro-chan.”
“I told you not to call me tha-chewchewchew, ohmygodIcan’tgetoverhowgoodthisiiiiiiiiisssssss!!”
Chiro instantly went into a state of ecstasy when I put the sushi in her mouth again.
She’s so cute! I want to feed her until she’s bloated.
Then I made a lot of sushi for Chiro-chan.
Of course, it is wasabi-less to suit a child’s tongue.
The food disappeared one after another into Chiro’s gluttonous little mouth at an incomprehensible speed. As expected: even if she’s little, she’s still a dragon.
“Chew chew chew… I want another helping of that popping thing I had earlier!”
“Ikura.”
And an egg, too! chewchewchew…………”
“Ai-yo.”
“Sweet shrimp for me!”
“Here you go.”
”Ah, nee-sama, that’s unfair! I wanted to eat the sweet shrimp too!”
Kuro brought the sweet shrimp to her mouth, but Chiro snatched it away.
Oh dear.
“AHHHHH!? What’s going on here? My nose! My nose is all prickly!
Seems like the wasabi did its job.
It’s because she stole the sushi made for Kuro.
“Is it poison? It must have been poisonous! Nee-sama, it was poisoned!”
“It’s not poison, it’s just wasabi. It’s because you tried to eat adult food while you’re still a kid.”
“Don’t treat me like a child anymore!”
It’s hard to say whether they’re close or not when they argue like that.
Soon enough, Chiro exhaled contentedly as she rubbed her bulging belly.
“Phew… I managed to eat it all.”
I served her some tea to which she replied, “Thank you,” and sipped it with a slurp.
At that point, Chiro tilted her head a little.
“…? I have a feeling I’m forgetting something…. OH!”
Her little eyes opened wide again.
Apparently she’s come to her senses again.
“I wasn’t supposed to come here just to eat! We’re in big trouble, Onee-sama!
“Chewchewchew… What’s the big-chewchewchew-deal, just spit it out.” said Kuro, who still hadn’t finished eating.
Chiro screamed irritatedly, “Mother, and everyone in the village! Has decided to! Declare war on the Dragon King!”
A large amount of rice and toppings flew out of Kuro’s mouth.
Ugh, how disgusting.
Treat your food with respect!
“What the hell? Is that for real?”
“It’s true! That’s why I came to get you! Mother and the others are already preparing for battle!”
“Why didn’t you just say that then!”
It seems like an emergency.
『The Dragon King is the leader of all the dragons. In that case, my guess is that the leader of the rebels would probably be one of the Shiny Black Dragons, one of the strongest dragon species. If a war were to begin, the collateral damage would be cataclysmic.』
I see. That does sound like a rather dire situation.
”Is Kuro’s mother the leader of the Shiny Black Dragons or something?”
‘Yes, th-that’s right. We’ve always been rather hostile to the Dragon King, but I never thought we would actually decide to formally rebel…” says Kuro with a pale face.
“Chewchewchew– Karna, more please.”
“How can you still be eating it at a time like this? It’s not like this has nothing to do with you!” shouted Kuro at the still-eating Shiro.
“The Dragon King’s your father, isn’t he?”
What?
The Dragon King is Shiro’s father?”
“That’s correct,” she said. “The current Dragon King is a Shiny White Dragon, and she is his second child.”
Are you serious?
‘Whaaaaaat!? She’s the Dragon King’s daughter?! I had thought that there seemed to be someone who was eating more than you, but for it to be the Dragon King’s daughter!?”
Chiro was astonished.
So astonished she started to growl like a dog.
“Be careful, nee-sama! She might be an assassin sent to kill us by the Dragon King!”
“Don’t even bother worrying. The last time I saw my dad was-chewchewchew-about three years now.” Shiro mumbled as she ate.
“Well anyway, I can’t stay here any longer. I need to go back to my hometown.”
”That’s right, Nee-sama! Let’s go!
Kuro got up and was about to leave with Chiro when she stopped.
“… But first, let me have one more ootoro.”
“What are you doing, Nee-sama? … Can I have an ootoro too please?”
After tossing the big toro into her mouth, the Shiny Black Dragon sisters turned into dragons and left.
[1]: eyes – The word used to describe her eyes was きつめ. It seems to be something like a severe, almost tough look? I wasn’t really sure and couldn’t really find an equivalent word, so I’ll link a google search instead.
[2]: negitoro gunkan-maki – Negitoro is minced tuna with spring onions while gunkan-maki is a ‘battleship’ roll. Basically, it’s a slice of a sushi roll topped with fish eggs.
