Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～

Chapter 131

Ch . 131 Nina’s Destination

I take Nina and place her near the ball rabbit .

“nya… . just right here, the water is beautiful… . ”

Nina looked at the portion of the water that was purified by the ball rabbit with rounded eyes .

“pefu!”

The ball rabbit proudly puffs its chest .

No, well I don’t really know if you are puffing your chest or belly since you’re round, but I guess it doesn’t matter .

After she finished drinking the water, Nina had a much better complexion . I am also pretty thirsty, but only a little bit .

I bend down by Nina’s side and stretch out my neck to get a mouthful of water like a vacuum .

Its Delicious .

Even though it should only be regular water, probably since I was thirsty, it had a tinge of sweetness .

While I was absorbed in drinking the water, I suddenly feel something sticking to my tooth . As I was wondering what it was, I soon figured out its identity as sludge falls out of my mouth .

The ball rabbit was only able to purify a portion of it . So of course if you continuously drink from it it would disappear, and if the water runs out, the muddy portion will start being sucked up .

I was only able to think up to here as I started coughing and spitting out sludge and water .

Yuck! It’s in my mouth, this is horrible!

The inside of my throat is stinky and it feels gritty!

What entered my mouth just now, was it the leftovers from the slugs?

Now that I think about it, I threw some in here not to long ago!

I don’t want to remember! Why did I notice!

I’m finally able to calm down after spitting it all out . I want to remove this bad taste .

Even sea water will be better at this point . Though I wonder about the salt content . But since I have a dragon’s body it should be okay since its stronger . Hmm, I wonder if I have any tolerance to salinity or fat as it would be good for my health .

Ah, suddenly I no longer feel thirsty . When I took a glance to the side I saw the ball rabbit glaring at me stretching its ears and trembling as if angry .

It’s completely mad .

“Pefupefu!”

Ah, my bad my bad .

I did not mean to drink everything . I was thirsty, only a little bit…but I guess my brakes didn’t work when I thought about surviving off of the clean water .

“Pefuu!”

As usual, it strikes my feet with its ears . Are you planning to raise the skill level of wild whip dance?

It started to smart a bit . I shouldn’t have received any damage but I can still feel it through my scales .

It’s probably because the ball rabbit is already a D rank monster . Having said that, if you evolve once more, will you become Little Rock Dragon class? When I think about a Little Rock Dragon class whipping me, I feel as if I could die .

Well, for now there is something that should be given priority over water .

Once the water incident has been forgotten, I want to experiment with using [[Telepathy]] to communicate with Nina .

“Garua”

I bark a little and call out to the ball rabbit . I need the ball rabbit to calm its mood for now so we could focus on using [[Telepathy]] .

But the ball rabbit inflates their cheeks and puffs up its face . I know it was bad! I will make something delicious later .

「slug, delicious」

The ball rabbits thought suddenly comes into my head .

It was eating it as if it was delicious wasn’t it . But isn’t that just you being hungry?

I understand, I will make something delicious!

Now can you please use [[Telepathy]]! Lets leave the clean water business aside!

The ball rabbit looks at me with glaring eyes while diverting its face . Seems like I caught its attention, I just need to give it a final push .

Oh, how about salt seasoned grilled camel meat?

I feel like the fatty texture of the hump meat will taste great with some salt .

Huh? its reaction wasn’t to promising . With [[Telepathy]] you can send words over rather then say them, so is there a way to send over images?

I picture dividing a camel and sprinkling some salt on it . Then I imagine biting into the cooked camel and chewing .

“pefu! pefu!”

The ball rabbit bounces and approaches me .

You bought it .

Alright, this guy is simple .

I asked the ball rabbit to ask Nina where she wanted to go . If I don’t know this then I don’t know how to proceed from here .

“… . . pefu”

The ball rabbit hangs its ears down with force and then inflates its cheeks . It glances at Nina and then quickly returns its eyes to me .

“pefu! pefu!”

The ball rabbit really doesn’t like the idea of parting with Nina .

It can’t be helped .

My [[Dragon Scale Powder]] is poisonous to Nina .

I don’t know how long she could last .

If strange effects start to show up without properly preparing then it’s likely that Nina will be too weak to even leave the desert .

The ball rabbit looks at Nina and their eye sights meet .

“Nya… . hey, ball?”

Nina picks up the ball rabbit and stares at it from close up . Only few words were said at first but now they are just staring at each other . Ah, [[Telepathy]] .

After a while they finally finished talking, and Nina gently raised her face towards me .

“I, don’t know where I should go…”

Nina says in a hoarse voice as it trails off like being carried off in the wind with her face turned down .

Well…this is .

Its obvious even from the case with the centipede that things were pretty bad in that wall surrounded city, and it seems that even if she had a home, due to certain circumstances she was sold away . That’s one assumption but it’s still a difficult pattern .

In the first place, I’m not familiar with the land around here . I also can’t afford to travel slowly with the three of us looking for a suitable place somewhere . Although I still think that it will be better to take her back to that wall surrounded city, but that’s really only the last resort .

“Oh, wait, Mr . Dragon! Is it okay… . if I stay by your side?”

Nina closed her mouth and interrupts herself while looking at me with uneasy eyes .

I would rather do that, but I don’t know when the negative effects of [[Dragon Scales]] will start taking place . I cannot bear Nina’s eyes and unintentionally divert my eyes .

“I, I’m sorry nya…for being annoying . Even though I can’t do anything, and just eating meals…”

Nina begins feeling smaller and smaller .

The ball rabbit reaches out its ears and gently wipes Nina’s eyes . The ball rabbit then turns around in Nina’s arms and gazes at me with quivering eyes .

That, I don’t know what I can do when you stare at me with such eyes!

If you have [[Telepathy]] then you should know what I’m thinking!

I could see the tears welling up in Nina and the ball rabbit, but I still have to do it . For now, I could only try my hand at searching for a village somewhere… . Huh?

I get a bad feeling and I focus on [[Presence Sense]] .

I feel several signs from the other side of the desert . I can’t see the figure yet, but there is no doubt that something is getting closer to us . I don’t know the difference in stats from me since they are still far away, but using [[Presence Sense]] I could tell that it’s not a small fish . Its speed is also almost equal to the huge centipede .

Why, why are you running to this place?

Maybe because of the slugs rain clouds that are still in the sky they came looking for water?
