Ch . 113 Conversation
“U, Uuh… . Nyaa… . ”
The beatsman Nina groans in a low voice . She stiffens and turns her body on the sand .
She has not gotten up yet, but it was only a matter of time .
What do I want to do, what should I do? If I stay she will probably faint in fear . Should I hide and leave it to the ball rabbit?
Even if I can’t decide I still have to make sure I take her someplace . When I think about it I can’t keep hidden forever . She will surely become a monsters prey once she wakes up and I leave her here in the desert .
After all, I’ll have to manage somehow . I have to appeal that there is no hostility with all my power . I’ll try looking as foolish as possible . Somebody that looks like they can’t do any harm, should be fine right? Well, I’ll do it anyway . So what should I do? Should I have the ball rabbit dig a hole and burry my head until Nina wakes up?
“n, Aa, nyaa…”
Nina stifles in a low voice again . She lifts her arms and moves her bangs to the left and right with the back of her hands . Oh, looks like she is already getting up . Something, anything! Oh, how about [[Human Transformation Technique]]! Thanks to the evolution its now at Lv3 . This should be of decent quality now .
I take a deep breath and calm myself . This is pretty tough . My body is forcibly compressed, and HP, attack power and my defense are greatly reduced . Adding to that, my MP consumption is now 1 per second?
Let’s see, so now my status is…

…So I have 199 seconds?
199 seconds, thats three minutes and 19 seconds .
Isn’t this really small? No I should be good . I’ll have 19 seconds to spare if I had decided to make a cup of noodles .
In these 199 seconds I will appeal that I am harmless and listen to Ninas circumstances . I should be able to do it, no, I can do it .
I saw that Ninas eyes had opened . I only had a limited time use of [[Human Transformation Technique]] .
An intense heat attacks my body . It feels like my body is melting and withering due to the heat . This is the third time I’ve felt this . The first time was a bitter experience, and I wanted to avoid it . But now that I don’t feel so evil it should be better . Or so I thought, but its hot and it’s still painful .
My body gradually got smaller and my total length which was 5 meters went down to just a little over 2 meters .
I open my eyes and see my arms . There, I see a robust arm with black scales . The sharp nails are also in good health . Its nice to be strong, but…right now I’m just like a demon humanoid . Maybe, I look pretty bad I guess . Its a shame that I can’t see myself as its making me uneasy .
It will appear awkward if I am turned completely into a human and am not wearing any clothes . No, actually, I think that will be better than looking like my present demon self .
“pefuuu!?”
The ball rabbit squeals loudly, and his ears turn perpendicular as he quickly takes some distance from me .
Hey, stop that . With that kind of reaction I’ll lose the confidence to win Ninas trust with this form .
Ha, as expected, isnt this more frightening than a dragon? It has the shape of a human, but the mouth is lined with fangs .
Well, even if I want to just shrink away right now . I only have three minutes in this form, and in those three minutes I have to win the trust of Nina .
As I looked towards Nina, she closed her eyes and laid back on the sand . Oh, why did close your eyes? Perhaps you lost consciousness again? Well, it was a pretty tiresome situation, so if the body is still tried then it can’t be helped .
But, if you do that I’ll be in trouble!
After changing, my MP is steadily decreasing and ill return to my original form if this keeps up . If my MP is exhausted then I will not be able to talk . This may be bad for her, but let’s get you up .
I take care not to use my nails as I brace her shoulder and hold her up as I shake her body slowly .
Well, now, how’s my voice?
” Gu~a, a”, a” a…A, i”, iii~i… . . vu! Vu! U!
Good .
It seems my vocal cords are now closer to that of humans . If this is the case, then a conversation could be established .
But what should I say? I dont have anything to talk about . Should I say “I am not a bad dragon?” like in a certain RPG?
“Oh, oh, gee, o, oh, ve . E, oki, We, U, Le”
It was a little hard at first . But I gradually got the hang of it .
“Uuh, well…”
Nina sharply looks my way . When she saw me her face was dyed blue .
“Oh, ahh… . ”
Because of the fear, it seems her voice had trouble getting out . Nina opens her cat eyes wide open, and moves her mouth opened and closed a few times . Then, after all, this form seems no good, would the dragon be better? No, I’ll go on, besides I can still reverse it .
“Wait a while…Nina, Nina, is not tasty!”
As I thought, its strange since I’m still a dragon .
Nina feebly tries to escape from my arms . I gently let go of her and take a step back .
Well, how many seconds are left .

Ive already lost half!
After 97 seconds…one minute and thirty seven seconds .
Ive already given up on understanding her circumstances, for now lets gain her trust . Oh, thats right, what if I prepared food?
There is no doubt that she’s hungry seeing that thin body . Also, it is doubtful you received precious water in this desert while in that carriage, so you must be thirsty . I should have prepared the cactus beforehand, I’m such a fool! What do I do? The remains of the cactus are scattered from the time I made food for the ball rabbit .
The ball rabbit is soft and its meat should be tasty, it wouldn’t be bad to cook him . It looks delicious .
Wait, now’s not the time to be thinking of that!
Anyway, I have to appeal that there’s no hostility . Procuring food can be done even after [[Human Transformation Technique]] has run out .
