I woke up in my room in the morning. 

The sun’s rays woke me up and I slowly opened my eyes to see the sky. 

“Ahh…Ah!” I yelped, mid-yawn and stretch, just after opening my eyes. I was nearly shocked to death. 

Outside my window was Chris. 

To be specific, Chris was looking in through the window, right at me. 

“Kwaaahahaha. Did you sleep soundly, my dear friend?” asked Chris. 

“G-good morning. Have you been there for a while?” I asked. 

“Hmm, yes. I had nothing to do, after all. I was counting the peach fuzz hairs on my dear friend’s face,” said Chris. 

“What the hell are you doing that for, huh?!” I yelled, loud enough to make my voice crack. 

I snapped at Chris, but the dragon showed no signs of guilt. 

“Hmm, yes. Well, as I said, I was bored,” Chris replied. 

“Well don’t start counting hairs on my face just because you’re bored,” I said. I didn’t how to explain it but felt weird… It was kind of uncomfortable. 

I hopped out of bed.

“Where are you going?” asked Chris. 

“I’m gonna go wash my face,” I said, leaving my room and heading to the bathroom sink. 

There were windows in the hallway, and I was ready to see flashes of Chris outside of them, following me, but Chris refrained from walking beside me. 

I safely made it to the sink. I splashed some water on my face and fixed my bed hair. 

Needless to say, I was already feeling wide-awake after seeing Chris’s face outside my window. 

I sighed. 

“Here you are.”

“Thank y-ah!”

I accepted the towel immediately as if nothing strange was happening, but right after that, I was hit with a surprise. 

It was Emma. 

Emma the small-sized dragon had casually walked into the house and to the bathroom. She held a towel in her mouth and handed it over to me. 

“W-What are you doing, Emma?” I asked. 

“I saw you were washing your face, Cyril-sama. So, I figured you needed a towel and brought one over to you,” said Emma. 

“Well, I did need one, but…”

“Ah, good. Here you are, sir.”

“Um, thanks,” I said, taking the towel. 

The part of the towel Emma had had in her mouth was wet with her drool, so I carefully used the dry part to wipe my face. 

“Ah… Thank you. Good morning,” I said, greeting Emma properly once I finished wiping my face. 

“Oh, good morning, sir!”

“Uh, next time, when you’re going to do something like this, let me know beforehand,” I said. 

“Understood, sir.”

I left the bathroom, leaving Emma behind, and headed to the kitchen. 

Now that I felt refreshed, my mind started telling me that I was hungry. 

I had been holding back my hunger to save money, but all of a sudden, my stomach had started to rumble noisily. 

I started searching the kitchen, trying to remember if there was something I could use to whip up a breakfast. 

“Aaaahhh!” I yelled, surprised, yet again. 

This time, I was so shocked that I thought I might fall over. 

There was a deer on the kitchen floor. 

I wasn’t seeing things – it was really a deer. 

The deer was dead, apparently, and its neck and four legs had been broken to pieces. Its limbs were bent unnaturally, like a marionette. 

“What the hell? What is this?” I asked. 

I slowly came down from my state of shock and realized that I needed to look around for the culprit that had caused this. 

Then, in the shadows, I saw Colette. Her eyes were flitting this way and that way. 

“What happened, Colette?” I asked. 

She stayed silent, not answering me. 

I thought for a moment and looked back at the deer. 

“Colette, did you do this?” I asked. 

“D-don’t get the wrong idea, here!” said Colette. 

“Huh?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“It’s not like I brought it for you, you know! I was just on my morning walk, and I happened to swallow it whole, so I ended up killing it.”

“You just happened to? You just happened to swallow a deer?” I asked.

“Yeah, what’s wrong with that?” asked Colette, puffing up her cheeks and looking away.

This was an unbelievable story, but I tried imagining the chain of events that led to this. 

She said that she happened to swallow a deer. 

…

…..

…….

No, it was impossible. 

How in the world could you accidentally swallow a deer? It was the hardest thing to try to imagine that I had ever encountered in my entire life. 

“It’s such a hassle dealing with that thing, so just do me a favor and eat it over there,” said Colette. 

“Wait a second, you-” I said. 

“I said, I happened to swallow it!” said Colette. 

“Fine, fine,” I said. 

I gave up dealing with Colette. 

She must have realized that I was done refuting her claims, and so she left the kitchen. 

I was left dumbfounded and alone with the battered deer. 

“…Guess I’ll eat it, then,” I muttered, resignedly.

I couldn’t imagine a situation where the deer would just leap into Colette’s mouth, but I could imagine how she killed it. 

Mushkhushu-type dragons had four stomachs, and on top of that, they had a tremendous ability to expand and shrink. 

I had heard that they could control this expansion and shrinkage according to their will. 

Put simply, Colette must have swallowed the deer into one of her non-digestive stomachs, and then shrunk herself to crush the deer to death. 

This would have broken all of the deer’s legs and its neck at once, sending it straight to heaven. 

“…That’s the worst way to die that I can even think of,” I said. 

I would definitely not want to be crushed to death in complete darkness. That was what I thought about as I took out a knife and decided to butcher the deer.

I was used to this method of butchering. As a dragon knight, skills like camping and hunting wild animals were necessary skills. 

I cut the deer’s throat and bled it. After bleeding it, I cut open its belly and pulled out the entrails. After that, I skinned the deer and broke it down into sections. 

Breaking down the entire deer into edible sections of meat took about an hour, and once I was done, I was exhausted. 

While I was working, my stomach had been silent, but as soon as I finished, it started grumbling loudly, again. 

I was glad that I had finished butchering the deer, but I was too tired to start cooking, at this point. 

After thinking for a moment, I covered my hands with salt and started rubbing it into the deer meat. 

While rubbing more salt into the meat, I started a fire. Then, I picked the meat up and held it in the flames. 

I used my hands to hold the meat directly in the fire. The fire didn’t feel hot at all. Well, strictly speaking, I could tell that it was hot, but my hands didn’t get burned, and I felt no pain. 

Even though I was holding the meat with my bare hands, only the deer meat was sizzling as it cooked. 

Once the outside of the meat was cooked, I took a bite. I ate all the cooked parts, leaving the raw parts, and then held it in the fire, again, cooking it. 

I cooked, and ate, cooked and ate. I repeated the process over and over again, filling my stomach. 

I put the leftover deer meat in the storehouse, left the kitchen, and went back to my room. 

“Ah!” I yelped. 

Louise was in my bedroom. 

She was fast asleep, with her head on my bed. A bed for humans amounted to a pillow for even small-sized dragons. Louise was using my bed as her pillow. 

“Hey, Louise?” I called. 

“Fmmm…”

“Wake up! You sleepy-sleepy, again?”

“Mnn, mnnn… shmells like myaster… I lub myaster…”

“Ah, it’s hopeless,” I said. 

I gave up completely. There was no reason to force her awake right now, anyway, so I decided to let her sleep. 

“Oh…” I said, realizing that my bed was getting soaked in Louise’s drool. 

There was nothing I could do about that, either, so I just let it be.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
