Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

Both Sophie and I, who were just about to step through the door of the shop, turned to see a young man that I think I recognized. Blue hair, ice blue eyes…. Wasn’t this the same kid that tried to capture me when I killed the bandits and saved him? My lips curled up into a sneer as I saw the little brat’s smug expression acting as if he was king of the world.

“Clean your shoes? Are you sure?” I asked with a bright smile.

I guess he took my answer as me saying I really want to clean your shoes. Because he stuck his foot out with his nose in the air and his arms crossed across his chest.  “Yes, use your tongue!”

My eyebrow twitched. I gave a faint smile as I walked over to the boy. A lot of people were standing around looking at me with eyes of pity. I knelt down and reached out with my hand, grabbed his ankle, and with a good tug, I pulled him towards me, flipped him around, and put him over my knee while pulling his pants down, so his little white bum was exposed for all to see. With a raise of my hand, it rained down like the mighty hammer of god! Okay, maybe not, but I still spanked him.

At first, it was: “Ow! How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am! I am Viscount Sullivan’s son!”

Then it was: “Ouch! Stop already! If you do not stop, I will tell my father!”

And finally, it was: “I’m sorry! Please stop! I will never do it again!”_-.

The strange looks I was getting while I spanked the poor boy quickly turned to ones that seemed amused by the situation. In the end, I even heard a few people chuckling. When I finally let him go, he quickly pulled his pants up and fiercely glared at me. To be honest, I have no idea why he was here without his guards. I guess he must have ditched them or something. But seeing his glare made me want to tease him more. “Oh? You want me to spank you some more?”

As soon as I said that, he instantly grabbed his butt, causing laughter to fill the area. His face turned beat red, and he was about to run off when a yell came from not far away: “Young master!”

A few guards dressed in metal armor came running over. The boy ran over to them and began cursing at them. “Where were you!? Because of you, I was humiliated by a demi girl! Quickly grab both of them and bring them back to the house! I will show them not to mess with me!”

Seeing him try to put on a strong front but not daring to even look in my direction made me laugh. I mean, it was quite amusing. What made me chuckle even more was that when the guards looked over at me, I waved at them and their faces went pale. My guess was that some of these guards were the ones who were there when I killed the bandits.

“Young master…. We can not listen to that order. We are under your father’s order to bring you back.” Oh? A quick witted one. I guess he did not wish to get into a confrontation with me, but at least I got to teach a haughty young master a lesson. This made my day a bit brighter.

“I will go back, but first grab those girls, or I will not go anywhere! Let’s see what happens when I tell my father you did not listen to me!” The haughty young master yelled out. If he was rolling and the ground flailing his limbs about he would be in a full blown temper tantrum.

But I did feel bad because now the guards were stuck between listening to their young master or getting into a confrontation with me. I thought for a moment before turning to Sophie: “Sophie, go inside and order us something. I will have whatever you order.”

“Ah? Okay…” Sophie nodded, but her ears dropped. Sorry, Sophie, but you need to not be in the area, plus this will be a good chance for you to practice talking to people without me around.

As I watched Shopie slowly enter the sandwich shop, I turned around and began walking over towards the haughty young master with a smile on my face. My tail swayed with each step as my smile became brighter and brighter.

“You! What do you want!?  Stay away! Quickly get her!” The haughty young master yelled out.

He went to try to hide behind one of the guards, but I swiftly caught him by the scruff of his shirt. I looked over at the guards who were trying to figure out what to do and pointed up at the sky. “Look a flying cloud!”

The smart one of the group immediately raised his head and yelled out: “A flying cloud!? I have never seen one before! Everyone, this is an order! Find the flying cloud!”

Seconds later: “Ahhh! I’m sorry!”

A few more seconds later: “I am really sorry!”

Many more seconds later: “Okay, I won’t ask them to capture you anymore! Please stop!”

When I finally heard what I wanted to hear, I stopped my hand and put the haughty young master down, who quickly pulled his pants back up once again and ran over to the guards and began kicking them. “Useless! Let’s get out of here!”

I watched as the guards stopped looking for the flying cloud, turned, and gave me a thankful look before walking off with the haughty young master. I could hear the laughs and chuckles of the people who came to watch the show as they left. I am sure this will spread around the city like wildfire soon. But I do not care. The little brat will hopefully learn from this because he sure isn’t learning anything good at home.

I turned and walked into the sandwich shop to see Sophie still standing at the counter with her head lowered. The shop owner seemed to be a bit distressed. “Look, little lady. I can’t make you anything if you do not order.”

I raised an eyebrow as I realized that things would be much harder than I thought to help Sophie with her crowd issues. I walked over and wrapped my arms around her waist, and rested my chin on her shoulder. “Fuwah!”

“You always make the strangest noises, Sophie. What’s wrong? You couldn’t order?” I asked as I stepped back and leaned against the counter.

“Sorry, I am just….” Sophie said softly, causing me to sigh. I guess I will not try to push her so much and take things a bit slower. I just thought after the tea party she would be fine. But since we were already here, I reached out and poked her forehead. “I am by your side, so go ahead and try again.”

“Mmm…” Sophie slowly raised her head and looked at the menu. She fiddled with her fingers before finally speaking: “Gromlinoi with extra greens, please.”

“See, you can do it!” I said with a smile while putting my arm around her shoulder and looking at the owner. “Make that two!”

“Alright! Two Gromlinoi with extra greens, coming up!” The shop owner yelled out.

To be honest, with how strange the meat names were, I was not sure if these were the true names of the monsters they came from or were like some kind of weird naming sense for which part of the monster they came from. Either way, so far, I have not been disappointed with the food I got from this place.

After a few minutes, our food was ready, and Sophie and I sat down at a table to begin eating. “We have really had a busy past few days. But just so you know, it will get even busier.”

“Busier?” Sophie looked at me with a confused expression.

“Yep! Tomorrow we will be going to the mercenary guild to sign up. I want to take on some missions and get some practice in before I get rusty in combat.” That and I really wanted to raise my level some more.

With all the trouble I have been causing, I kinda wanted to keep my level up and also gain more skills points if I could. The mercenary guild seemed like a good place to also gain some funds for the factory I will need to set up. It’s not like a ton of money will just drop into my lap. Sadly no matter which world you live on, money will never grow on trees. But if I do find out that there is a tree that sprouts gold coins, I will be the first to try to grow an orchard of them. I mean, it’s worth a try, right? But to have the green thumb to be able to even do anything like that I would need to stock up on skill points.
