Chereads / To be One with Magic / Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

Back in the town.

The adventurers are all inside the guild, celebrating the victory. Crowds cheering, loud chattering, and drinking competitions can be seen here and there.

There were quite a lot of people gathered around me and Alicia, asking us about the strength we displayed during the raid. Also the fact that Alicia is a dragon was already known, she have her horns, wings, and tail exposed now. There are a lot of people who wanted to touch it but she strongly refused as it was sensitive to touch.

They also asked where I came from and how we met. I said I was a traveller with no place to be called home. Heh, a perfect background. I also said I met Alicia during my travels and we ended up travelling together. Of course I didn't say that I tamed her using chocolates.

Some people didn't believe that I met Alicia randomly during my travels and said it was a forbidden love between a human and a dragon. Saying that the dragon took interest in those who are strong. Well doesn't apply to her, she was tamed with the use of chocolates. Alicia, who is sitting beside me, blushed when she heard the word "forbidden love between a human and a dragon".

Oi don't blush like that, I might misunderstood, I said in my mind.

When the crowd surrounding us started to thin down, Tear, Lei, and Leo approached us.

"Yo, hey there love birds."

"Oi what do you mean 'love birds'?"

"Hahaha nothing nothing, anyways what are you guys planning to do now?"

"We plan on travelling to the East probably."

"Oohh East, huh. I see I see."

"Goodluck on your travels Rin, Alicia."

"Take care."

"Yeah, we will"

The celebration ended and everyone went home. Back on our room, Alicia said something.

"Rin, do we look like a couple from other people?"

"Yeah I think so, we looked like the same age."

"Yeah, me being 200 years old as a dragon is quite equivalent to a human on its teens. So we're probably the same age."

"Oh I see, so that's why you're blushing earlier."

"Nyaah?! Don't mention that! Buuu!"

"Ahahaha sorry sorry."

"Ehem, anyways about that 'couple talk' earlier, how about we make it real?"

"Eh? You mean, a forbidden love between a human and a dragon?"

"Yeah."

Inside the dark room whose only light source was the moonlight. Alicia stood up by the window. Her snow white hair was shining under the influence of the moonlight. Her eyes were looking straight to me with anticipation of my answer.

I was taken aback by her beautiful appearance. I stood up and approached her.

"Alicia, I love you. You were the first person, or rather dragon I've ever met. I had a lot of fun travelling together with you. I wish to be with you, travelling together."

"Yeah, I love you too Rin. The chocolates you make are delicious and travelling together with you is so much fun, I wish to be with you as well."

Under the moonlight, we share our first kiss and we officially became a couple.
