A few moments later.
...
Key decided to sneak out of the house to let what he just learned about to sink in. He was happy that he will have a little sister, but his experience during his past life made him feel conflicted about it.
"Well, I guess I'll deal with it when the time comes. It may even be a good thing that my dumb father will get off my back."
After a few minutes of wandering around, Key felt that he got lost.
"Oh shit. I forgot which path I took. What should I do when I encounter the monsters? I haven't learned any magic yet so I'm seriously doomed if I do meet one. But so far I haven't seen one yet, so I guess I'm still within the barrier that the vampire angel made?"
Key looks around and saw something moved behind the bush.
"Anyone over there?" Key asks hoping someone he knows will answer.
Key tried to get close to the bush, then suddenly something jumps out causing Key to fall on the ground.
"Uwaa! Mama!" Key struggles and cries out for Ellie.
*lick*
"W-What? Did something just l-lick me? Ahh, I'm gonna be eaten." Key slightly opened his eyes and saw a baby dragon on his stomach.
"E-Eh? A dragon? Who are you, rather, w-what are you doing?" Key asks.
"Huh? Oh hello there, I am the daughter of this forest's guardian, so don't disturb me while I'm eating." The dragon continues to lick Key.
"B-But you can't eat me, we have a contract with your father." Key tries to reason out with the dragon.
"Of course I won't eat you, I heard from my father that humans taste disgusting, they taste like rotten meat." She explains why licking Key.
"Then why are you umm.."
"You have something leaking out from you so you kinda smell."
"Eh?! I smell?" Key was shocked.
"Yeah, you have this delicious smell around you. I never tasted something like this before, what is it?"
"Eh? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Key!! Are you okay?!" Rael came out from somewhere.
"Ellie! Key's here!"
Ellie rushes to Key and hugs him causing the dragon to fall off from Key.
"Ouch! What was that for, and what are you doing with my food!" The dragon seemed a bit angry.
"Oh Key my dear, are you okay?" Ellie asks while checking Key for injuries.
"Hey are you ignoring me!"
"I'm fine mama. I was just surprised by her."
"Eh, what do you mean 'her'? What happened."
Key explained what happened.
"So, long story short, this dragon tried to eat you huh?" Rael unsheathed his sword.
"What's this? You dare point your sword towards me, the daughter of this forest's guardian?"
"I don't care even if you are the guardian himself, I will kill anyone who tries to harm my family!"
"Rael, calm down, it's not like I was hurt or anything." Key tries to calm Rael.
"Don't worry Key, everything will be okay." Ellie hugs Key.
"But—"
Before Key was able to finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
"What is going on here?" A green-scaled dragon came flying down.
"Father! Listen to this, these humans tried to take away my food!" The baby dragon went near to the huge dragon.
"Father? Then he is the guardian of Grimland Forest, the ancient dragon?!"
