CHAPTER 221: COUNTING A FEW DAYS

"Yo dragon, can you understand me?" Kaelan says as he pulls a fabric with force, adjusting it around my waist and securing it. I nod my head, confirming that I understand while feeling the pressure of the black band on my waist.

"You need to keep this on, it’s part of this dress set and if you take this waist band off, the skirt will fall," He says as he ties a bow on the band while I observe myself in the mirror.

’This outfit is quite pretty, and the bow is quite elegant...not bad at all, for someone so rough, he has quite a bit of class.’ It’s a skirt that reaches near my knee, held up by a black band that reminds me of the bands Yeom used, completed with the top being an elegant white top.

"...Thanks for the clothes," I say, even though he doesn’t understand. He gives a confused look, rolls his eyes and leaves the room as I observe the top and bottom of the outfit.

There’s no bra and my breasts are large, so the somewhat tight outfit highlights my chest perfectly, while the outfit has a light floral scent that clings to me.

’Still no panties...this tail is really inconvenient...’ There’s no way this tail will allow me to wear normal panties, and that’s really annoying, and I can’t do anything but accept it.

If I move too much, my private parts will be exposed and I’ll be embarrassed, or I’ll provoke Kaelan to do something, and I’ve already seen that he doesn’t have that much self-control.

"I wish Nyzz was here to talk about the situation," I murmur, noticing how different it is from what I thought. When I made that deal with Nyzz, I thought she would always be close to me like Yui used to be.

[The situation is great]

"!!??"

[No need for that shock, I’m communicating with you mentally because I noticed that a ’hanger-on’ is observing you.] Nyzz’s voice speaks while I pretend to be normal.

I don’t want to alert that luminous thing to something I can’t, if Nyzz didn’t want to appear and reveal herself, then I also shouldn’t reveal anything beyond what’s allowed.

[You don’t need to speak, just nod your head, did you know there’s something watching you?] She asks, and I nod my head, confirming that yes, that thing appeared to ask me my name.

[I see, so you did something to prevent that thing from leaving and telling things it shouldn’t?] She questions with curiosity, Nyzz is always so intuitive in the few conversations we’ve had.

"..." I confirm that it was like that while continuing to look at the mirror, pretending I’m analyzing myself, I even lift the skirt to see how the band behaves with the bold movement.

[Not bad, but your idea has a flaw, heralds transmit everything they see without them knowing, as long as the owner of these heralds wants to see...] She speaks, and I shiver all over, freezing in front of the mirror.

’I...didn’t know that...’ It means that Nyzz can see everything I see, she gets this information without even asking, just because I’m her herald, I have to say that this gives me a certain discomfort since if Nyzz is a Yandere and tries to chase me, she’ll always find me.

[It seems you’ve realized it, exactly, Nyarlisse can see you even if that thing doesn’t report, it all depends on whether Nyarlisse wants to see, and I bet she’s watching the vision of all her heralds]

[And yes...I can see everything you see and find you anywhere, how do you think I’m accompanying you when you change worlds? I need to know where you are to control a small avatar in that place]

"..." I swallow hard, I have to say that this really gave me a bit of fear, it seems I no longer have any privacy just because I’m her herald, maybe the cost of the power of misfortune was a bit too high.

[You don’t need to be so afraid, it will take at least 7 days for her to get here, and I need 3 days to get everything we need, in other words, if you kill yourself in 4 days] She speaks, while I let out a strange sigh.

She’s talking about me killing myself so naturally that it’s disturbing, I know that technically killing myself makes this a power to change worlds, but it’s never pleasant to die, especially if the death isn’t quick.

[Don’t want to die? Lamentable, but necessary, if you don’t disappear from this world, Nyarlisse will find you, so you have exactly 7 days, this is the maximum time until she covers the entire distance from her location to this place, maybe 6 or 5 if she’s already seen you before]

"...Tsk..." She gives me an extremely limited time, which I can only say is uncomfortable.

’I didn’t even like this world anyway...’ I lie to myself, it’s not like I want to die, but it seems I don’t have much choice, at least I won’t die abruptly like many times.

[Are you upset with me? Hahahaha I bet you’re blaming me, right? I bet this herald found you because of a disturbance in reality or something similar, possibly a chaotic disturbance]

[But it wasn’t 100% my fault, it was Nyarlisse’s fault and some nonsense she did to find you that increased the chaos of existence to a high degree, so blame her]

’Haaa...’ I make a tired face, there’s no way I’m not tired of this, but I can only accept it in the end.

[Don’t be like that Shizune...know that this...is all your fault, you were really fucking stupid to believe in an entity that represents love, honestly if you know that love is part of your curse, you should never have trusted something that represents love] She insults me.

’...She has a point...’ Although I also had mine, I trusted Nyzz because I believed she could teach me about love, and she didn’t really have the color of a Yandere, so how should I just judge her without further ado? Besides the fact that I was being affected by her aura.

[Want some good news?]

"..." I nod my head, there must be at least something good to cheer me up, I hope it’s an incredibly wonderful news.

[I can prepare a dimension, pull you in, give you the things and invite Yui for you to try to conquer her, but the part of conquering her will depend entirely on you, understand?]

’This...seems good enough’ A place without someone dangerous trying to mess me up, a prepared plan and things to use, I just need to use my charm and try to conquer Yui, which I think I can do.

"..." I confirm with my head, knowing that yes, this depends entirely on me, things are a bit difficult, but this seems the most consistent and appropriate plan of everything I’ve thought about.

[I’m glad you know that, so get ready to conquer Yui, you’ll have only one chance, it shouldn’t be too complicated considering Yui likes romance...] She murmurs about Yui liking romance, which I didn’t know.

[But honestly your soul is somewhat dirty while also being clean, past sins are hard to erase, but good deeds too, so I think at least Yui would accept you as long as you don’t do anything else that stains your soul]

[So behave, whether in this world or the next world, try to do small good deeds while you’re here, or I don’t know, just don’t ruin this perfect chance]

[I’m even putting myself at some risk to help you with something this important, you know? so I won’t accept failures on your part]

"Uhum..." I agree with her, still looking at the mirror to maintain the image, her voice is very serious and shows that she is really taking this with a very high seriousness.

[Great, I’ll go back to collecting the things, as soon as I’m done I’ll appear to let you know, so get ready to abandon this world, if Nyarlisse finds you, you can be sure she’ll break rules just to catch you]

After saying that, I no longer hear anything, it seems she’s gone while I move to go outside.

’This collar...wouldn’t prevent me from...killing myself, right?’ It has several functions, but I don’t think he thought of the possibility of me just deciding to kill myself, it’s kind of sad that I’ll have to do something so horrible, but my life is at risk here.

If a supernatural cosmic deity crazed by love was chasing anyone, most would choose to die rather than be captured, and besides, Nyzz made it clear how far she could go.

So Nyarlisse must also do horrible things, and even worse, considering that she represents love, she can control me much more easily than anyone else.

"Hey, Miss Dragon, can I come in?" I hear Mei’s voice as she knocks gently on the door, I control myself not to seem weird as I go to the door and open it.

"Oh...you look magnificent in this dress, although it could be shorter to seduce the master, but oh well, this one also gives you extra charm," She speaks as if this outfit wasn’t my choice.

"Now let’s go to the master’s office? He’s trying to learn more about dragons, he’s so dedicated, don’t you think?" She says, taking my hand and pulling me quickly.

’...’ I don’t feel very comfortable trying to get closer to them when I know I’m not going to stay here much longer, so I try not to let her get too close to me.
