Landing on a platform in a cave.
Loosen the meat in your paws.
The chunks of meat that had lost their support fell to the ground.
The meat is reserved for Karel and Angela, so just leave it here.
Take a step and crawl deeper into the cavern.
Upon entering the end of the cavern, August stopped and the dragon's body plopped right down.
Once on his back, the dragon kissed and chewed hard.
"Click-click-click~"
A sound like crushing stone cracking rang out from the dragon's kiss.
The refreshing sensation permeates the mouth.
The smell reminded August of a plant.
Mint.
After chewing a few more times, feeling that the magic core in his mouth was almost chewed, the dragon's head tilted and swallowed directly.
Okay, feeding is over.
You can sleep now.
The slender neck was curved and the tail bent up together to form a ring around the body.
The thick eyelids slowly closed.
This one should be a long sleep.
Let's hope that Angela guy keeps his word.
Consciousness faded as he thought about it.
The reclining red fledgling dragon's breathing steadied.
It's asleep.
....
Landing on the platform.
See the random meat thrown down at the mouth of the platform.
Angela lifted the dragon's head toward the cave.
Has that guy fallen asleep?
"Hoo-hoo~"
With the sound Karel landed on the platform as well, dropping the meat in his claws as he did so.
"Ow~ sleep sleep~"
After a couple happy wails, Karel sprinted towards the cave.
This guy...
Looking at Karel who was about to rush inside the cave.
Angela opened her dragon's kiss to take a bite of the cheerfully swinging white tail.
She could go to sleep, but only after a bit of work was done.
The pull from his tail caused Karel's torso to tense up a bit, and the dragon's head turned back to see that it was Angela biting down on his tail.
"Angela?"
A confused look appeared in the white vertical pupils.
Loosened the tail that was biting in his mouth.
"Do a little work for me before you go to bed."
"Don't don't don't~ I'm going to bed now."
Karel: o(>﹏＜)o
If August had said that, Karel would have complied, but it was Angela who said it.
No way did he want to do things, right now the dragon just wanted a nice long sleep.
Such a message was being leaked from those white vertical pupils.
Angela sees it.
"This meat will go bad if you leave it, and you don't want to wake up to rotting meat, do you?"
Those white vertical pupils became moved.
"Carrion can taste almost as bad as dirt. Stinky and fishy."
~!
Deep memories came flooding back again.
That disgusting smell of dirt, really don't want to go back to it again.
Don't want to eat spoiled meat.
Karel spoke hastily.
"What do you want me to do~"
Angela looked at Karel in front of her.
This fool is quite a handful.
The dragon's kiss cracked slightly, revealing a grim smile that belonged to a gargoyle.
"Bring the meat. We'll walk in a little."
"Good~"
Karel re-lifted the meat without saying a word, and in the process offered to lift the piece of meat August had thrown down as well.
Take the meat and walk to the middle of the cave.
Angela, who was walking ahead, stopped.
The darkness of the cavern looked no different to them than daytime.
This rock face is flat enough. This is it.
"This is it."
Looking to Karel.
"Come and help, plow a hole here."
"Okay~"
Karel dropped the meat in his paw and walked over to Angela's side extending his paw piece to plow up towards the rock wall.
Sharp claws grazed sporadic sparks against the wall.
Harsh to the point of being toothsome sounds resonated through the cave.
Soon a small hole was plowed with the combined efforts of two fledgling dragons.
Surveying the small hole in front of him.
This area should be fine.
"Okay, Karel, stop plowing."
Called off Karel.
At the sound of the voice, Karel stopped his plowing and deflected his dragon's head to look at Angela.
"Is that okay?"
"Well, that'll do."
Angela nodded her dragon's head slightly.
"Okay, now let's put the meat in~"
"Oh~"
Karel answered, grabbing a piece of meat in his paw and shoving it towards the hole.
Next to her, Angela also grabbed a piece of meat and shoved it into the hole she had just plowed.
Soon three large pieces of meat were stuffed into the hole.
With the meat stuffed, the next step is the closure work.
The raw materials to plug the hole are on the ground.
These planed out gravel will do.
Incarnating once more as a bulldozer, he ambled down and spread his claws to pile the rubble toward the hole.
"Want to plug it up?"
"Right~" answered Angela.
"I'll help."
Following Angela's lead, Karel pushed up the gravel as well.
Soon the rubble slowly and gradually fast blocked the hole.
With the rubble nearly blocking the hole.
"Okay Karel, stop for a second."
Karel stopped to continue pushing gravel.
So obedient.
This idiot seems to be good at holding it as long as it's food related.
The blue vertical pupils flashed.
"Is it done already? Can I go to bed now Angela?"
The bright white vertical pupils showed a color of expectation.
It's a dragon's nature to want to sleep when it's full.
"No, there's one last step."
"You spit into the hole you left behind."
"Oh~ good bla~"
Not so willingly, he moved to the small hole left behind and opened up for a dragon kiss.
White spits of cold air poured out towards the cave entrance.
Angela looks quietly at Karel at work.
Is this the beginning of reluctance?
It seems that even though it's good to hold, it's low on patience.
"Is Angela ready?"
"Just hang in there."
"Oh, that's good bla bla."
"Is that okay?"
"Just hold on, it's almost there."
"Hmm~"
"Is that okay?"
"Well, that'll do."
"Yay~ Sleep sleep sleep ow~"
It was as if all of a sudden it was liberated.
After an owl, Karel darted toward the cave.
She climbed quickly, obviously afraid that Angela was making some kind of demand.
Looking at her back, her white dragon tail swayed from side to side at a very high frequency.
The idiot's emotions really do show in his tail.
Retracting his gaze from his back.
Angela reached out and poked her claws into the small hole.
It's cool.
The temperature inside the cave was already low, and after Karel's chilling spit the temperature inside had become even lower.
At this temperature, it looks like the meat inside should keep well.
After spending a bit of time completely plugging up the last small hole left as well Angela took a step and crawled inside.
Being the same gargoyle, she had actually wanted to go to sleep long ago after she had eaten and drank her fill.
Crawl into the end of the cave.
This Karel guy is already asleep on August's back.
And it's the kind that sleeps a lot.
A chunk of crystalized dragon saliva had trickled down.
It also left a spot on August's back.
It's reserved for myself.
Approaching, the body plopped right down.
It's so warm.
Comfortably, he closed his heavy eyelids.
Angela was a little uneasy about using August as a mattress in the beginning.
But August seemed to be completely oblivious to the incident after he found out and didn't mention anything about it.
He didn't seem to mind?
This August guy sure is weird.
Thoughts faded into a blur as he thought about it.
Soon she too was asleep.
All of a sudden there was no other sound resounding in the cave except for the breathing of the three fledgling dragons.
....
