Natasha smirked :"What did the blind kid say when he touched the emo kid's wrist?"
Alistair :"What?"
Natasha :"I ain't reading all that."
Alistair :"...Who's the monster here?"
--------------------------
(Natasha's (FML) POV)
Well, wasn't this a strange turn of events. One second I'm just walking in a forest, next second I'm playing with a newborn dragon. One hell of an adorable one at that. This cutie might actually move me from team cats to team dragons.
'Heh, as if. It would take more than that to move my loyalty.' I may have thought so, but my hand, with a mind of its own, moved by itself to scratch his head. And boy, did he look adorable while stretching his neck to give me more spots to scratch.
'...Hmph, just because I'm in team cats doesn't mean I can't enjoy the adorableness of other animals.'
I smiled watching him purr with a smile of his own :"You're really friendly, unlike normal dragons. Even children are usually very aggressive, but you don't even bite. Such a kind cutie."
His smile widened, before bringing out his cute tongue and gently licking my finger. The small bars on his tongue that resembled a feline's felt ticklish. I couldn't help but chuckle :"Seriously, how sweet for a dragon."
It was the truth. Dragons were famous for their aggressiveness. And "that" aura that I'm feeling from him made his gentleness even more surprising. How he wasn't like a rabid, berserked animal when he's a dragon born with "that" is beyond me.
My scratches turned into gentle caresses as I moved down to his back and stomach. Gently rubbing my hand against the soft, not yet hardened black and purple scales, his purrs turned more comfortable as he closed his eyes.
While laying down on his stomach, he moved to the side to give me more scratching spots once again. As I caressed his stomach, I chuckled at how he adorably laid his head down in pleasure :"You like belly rubs, huh? You like that?"
"Gauw..." He nodded twice, making me chuckle again. Seriously, how could the monster known as the most vicious monster of all be so cute?
"So you can understand me? Not surprising for a dragon, I guess." But just as I was caressing him, his stomach growled, vibrating under my fingers.
"Gauw..." He seemed to have just realized his own hunger as he frowned. Heh, well, not to brag, but I AM a pretty good petter. No wonder he hadn't even realized how hungry he was.
And although even his frowning face was adorable, I couldn't help but frown in worry myself :"Hungry, are you? Well, you were just born, so, no surprises there."
Hmm, he's a reptile, so he doesn't need milk. Good thing, cause I don't have any. As for meat... haaah, it pains me as a chef, but I can only give him the corpse of the Angry Rabbit I killed earlier since my stored food has nearly run out.
I know it makes no difference for a monster like him, whether his food is cooked or not, but it hurts my pride as a top class chef to give unprocessed food to someone to eat. Oh well, I'll make it up to him by making that wolf into a nice meal!
"Gauw?" He looked at me with a frown, as if asking for food. Seriously, too cute. Picking him up gently, –dragon or not, I'm not letting a cutie like him fall and hurt himself– I cradled him like a baby and was about to walk back to the wolf's corpse, but his hatched egg caught my attention.
...Eh, let's store it. Even if not used for crafting, it can still be an awesome keepsake. Waving my hand over it, my ring flashed for a moment before the egg turned into a wisp of energy and entered my ring, where it was safely stored.
I noticed the baby dragon's look of awe, and I couldn't help but smile and caress his stomach :"Right, dragons are famous for their Magic. No wonder you're curious about it. I'll teach you later, alright?"
"Gauw!" He nodded excitedly, but had limited space for it, of any action, really, thanks to my blessed bust. Hahahaha I take pride in my figure, but I guess it's not so comfortable for him. (A/N: Oh, how wrong she is.)
- (Alistair's POV)
By all that is holy, holy shit! I'm literally stuck to happiness! Actually, more like sinking into it! I am no virgin, but damn, have I never felt breasts of this caliber! It's like I'm literally being squeezed against a wall of glorious jello.
I could seriously just stay like this forever. Fuck the adventure in a new life, this is better! I mean, I'm by no means a simp, but we're talking about huge fucking natural titties! It's a hard gamble, alright?
But goodness, all good things must come to an end. We can't have nice things in life, after all. Spotting a small boulder, –small to her at least, it was gigantic to the kitten sized me– she was about to sit me down on.
But she halted with a frown :"Shit, I can't put you there. You might roll down and hurt yourself." Aww, she cares for my health. It feels good to be cared for.
Sitting down on the grass, she put me down too. Rolling onto my stomach, –with great difficulty– I tried to stand up, –with even greater difficulty– but nearly fell right on my –probably– cute face.
But the beauty thankfully saved me :"Whoa, careful there! You might hurt yourself if you're not careful." But am I one to give up?! ...Yeah, actually... if it was my past life, I would probably just groan and be like :"Whatever, where's my phone at?"
But come on, this is walking. Even I can't be that lazy for the most basic of things. Using the hands she was supporting me with, I tried my best to stand up. And even though it was very hard, since my bones felt like jello, like that time I overworked the shit out of myself that one time during the leg day in the gym, I still pulled through.
"Ooh, good job!" The redhead slowly let go and cheered when I didn't fall down. But that excitement was short-lived, because I quickly came wobbling down. But I quickly caught myself midair by using my wings and tail as further support.
Huh, I didn't even notice how they moved. I just panicked and tried to do something. Fuck you, gravity. You ain't got nothing on me and my cool extra limbs, bitch.
But what I also didn't notice, was the hands that instantly appeared beside me. I don't know if it's because my senses aren't functioning right yet or this girl is super fast, but I couldn't even see her movement before she was ready to catch me.
Yeah, definitely the second option. Like, come on. First woman I meet, I meet her upon birth itself, she ain't my mother, and she's treating a dragon –aka me– like a fucking kitten. Yeah, this woman is definitely secretly op.
"Hahahaha nice reaction speed." She chuckled, giving my chin a few scratches :"Just be careful, alright? No need to be hasty and hurt yourself. Also, here. I don't have much for you to eat yet, but enjoy this for now."
Flipping her hand, her ring flashed again before a dead rabbit appeared in her hand. That's a storage ring, right? Those are super useful, I wonder if she can get me- oh, my Jesus... what's that heavenly smell?!
- (Natasha's POV)
Taking out the corpse of the G-Class Angry Rabbit, I was about to cut it into small pieces. You can't just give a whole ass rabbit to a newborn, after all, right? Like, come on, the rabbit is literally bigger than him.
But no. As gentle as he was, his hunger didn't leave him much patience. Because the moment I took out the rabbit, he snatched it from my hand with his teeth like a crocodile and began to feast on it.
I thought he would have difficulty eating it because of its size and fur, but no, he was literally tearing it apart with his teeth. You're not you when you're hungry, huh? Little cutie was starving, so no wonder he was tearing its flesh apart like a man starved.
He's a dragon after all, huh? Hahahaha gotta admit though, that blissful little face of his after every bite sure is humorous. Funny, but cute. Even his viciousness is cute. He's cute. Fucking adorable.
"You enjoy your food, alright?" I smiled and got up, my smile widening when he stopped to look up at me with a frown :"Don't worry, I'm not leaving you alone. I'm just going to prepare a bigger meal."
As I pointed at the wolf, he immediately salivated at the sight. I chuckled :"While you enjoy food, I'll prepare that. I'll let you enjoy my cooking later."
He nodded with sparkling eyes, before immediately digging into the rabbit again. Gotta admit, his small, cute head being covered in blood as he chewed on rabbit meat was amusing. It would probably be creepy to most instead, but with the shit I've seen and done, this is honestly just cute.

Walking up to the dead wolf, the redhead hummed before raising her hand to the nearby tree. Mana began to flow to her hand, before three brown Magic Circles imbued with mythical carvings appeared, connected to each other through a magical chain.
[3 Magic Circles, Lv 3 Earth Magic: Wood Manipulation]
Alistair watched in wonder –while eating– as the branch of the tree seemed to come alive. It stretched and suddenly grabbed the wolf by the foot like a snake before hanging it upside down.
Blood flowed down from the severed neck, but she, using another spell, hurried the process of getting rid of the blood. A Magic Circle, blue in color, appeared in front of her hand again, before the blood of the wolf came gushing out. She had to step back to not get dirty.
[1 Magic Circle, Lv 1 Water Magic: Water Manipulation]
Normally, it wouldn't be possible with such a low class spell. Sure, Blood Manipulation was of Water Magic, but it was of a much higher level of Water Magic. Doing what another high leveled spell did with only but a Lv 1 spell spoke volume of her mastery.

'Damn, girl's a blood bender.' I thought while munching on some delicious rabbit meat. I think my taste buds have gotten messed up, because rabbit meat has no right to be this delicious!
But just as I was enjoying taking in all this juicy meat, –no homo– I found something in the rabbit's chest. A rock. Well, more like jewelry. It was a small, blue crystal.
'Oh, is this a... what was it called... right, a Mana stone! Or a Mana crystal? Maybe a Mana Core?' Eh, whatever the name was, it got me acting up. No, it did NOT get me horny. Even I'm not that down bad.
Looking at it made me hungry. Like a cookie that I instinctively knew I had to eat. Digging it out with my sharp claws, I watched it with hunger as it glowed under the sunlight. But as much as my instincts longed for it, I couldn't just eat a random crystal. I don't even know if I could!
"Gauw!" So I opted to ask someone who would maybe know. Or at least know more than me. As the redhead turned to me with a questioning hum, she smiled knowingly when she saw what I was holding for her to see :"Dragon instincts kicking in?
Eat that too, it's good for you. That's a Mana Core, where the Mana of monsters is stored in. But you probably won't understand what that means, so just eat it."
Alright, I get what this is. I am a fantasy genre expert, after all. Nodding at her, I let her return to cutting open the wolf. I was worried if I could eat the Mana Core, since it was a crystal and all, but when I bit it, my fangs dug right into it. Huh, it happened with the rabbit's bones too. Guess I've got amazing teeth!
But just when I ate it completely, I heard two "dings" in my head, before two holographic screens appeared in front of me. Each in a different color, and each having something written on them.
One blue: [Racial Skill: Absorption+ (SS) has been activated.]
And the other black and dark purple: [??? Skills: Devouring (???), Ingestion (???), Consumption (???), Mana Core Absorption (???), Sacred Skill Absorption (???), Sacred Skill Converter (???) have been activated.]
