"Oh. Oh. Looks like you had a hard time defeating that lowly demon, huh. It turns out that you are only capable of killing ordinary humans who have no power. So sad. I don't think you should look after my Queen."
Ouroboros teased Lestari, she shook her hips left and right, intending to mock Lestari who liked ducks. In addition, the tail grows back in a matter of minutes, from a small size to a voluptuous tail.
"Shut up, lizard." Lestari frowning when she said that.
"Oh. Oh. Are you upset? That means you admit that you are indeed weak,” Ouroboros teased, smiling broadly.
“Damn you." Instantly Lestari's body melted into thousands of pink rose petals.
"Oh. Oh. It turns out that you have mastered body imitation magic. Whereas in the past you always had failures in learning imitation magic. Good job, you are indeed a woman who does not give up, I really respect your determination as hard as a diamond," Ouroboros said, smiling.
“Thank you very much for your compliment, Ouroboros.” Lestari appeared behind the half-dragon woman, she squared off, then swung Roseliet with all her might.
Even though Roseliet was in bad shape, Lestari's mainstay weapon was able to slash Ouroboros's hard-scaled tail.
“Oh no! You are carelessly cutting my tail! You impolite!” Ouroboros threw away a glance, she pouted and shed fake tears.
“This is the result of underestimating me,” said Lestari, while putting Roseliet into her scabbard.
“Wahahaha,” Ouroboros burst out laughing, “now you’ve become a fierce kid, huh. I was surprised, back when you were a kid, you were a crybaby.”
Ouroboros stroked Lestari’s head affectionately and pinched her sharp nose.
“Stop it, keep your hands off me, I’m not a child anymore,” said Lestari.
“Oh. Oh. Even though you used to love being petted,” Ouroboros replied.
“I told you, I am not a child, I have become a woman and am starting to age.”
“Don’t worry, Leistiari. Even though you were born as a human race, you have your mother’s genetics, in other words you won’t age even if your age touches thousands of years,” Ouroboros explained.
“Once again you call me Leistiari, I’ll slap your annoying chest!” Lestari threatened, she frowned and pointed at Ouroboros in annoyance.
“Wow, how fierce, your nature really reflects your mother. Wahahaha. By the way where is your mother now?”
“I don’t know, the last time she was in the Van Dean kingdom,” said Lestari, while walking towards Ristia who was sleeping on the ground.
“Oh I see. Geez, I’m afraid your mother has fleas, she’s lazy to clean her hair and tail fur.”
Lestari squatted beside Ristia, then she started massaging to relax her child’s tense muscles, then replied, “Don’t underestimate my mother, she can’t possibly let a single louse lodge in her fine fur.”
“Oh, good then. How about your brother?” asked Ouroboros, crossing her arms across her chest.
“He is healthy and hasn’t changed much,” Lestari replied.
“Ardi is stubborn and likes to cause trouble, but he’s a good brother, right?”
“Yes....” Lestari shyly admitted it, her face slightly reddened.
“Wahahaha,” Ouroboros burst out laughing, “Leistiari, you’re so cute when you’re embarrassed!”
“Shut up lizard! Your breath smells bad,” Lestari mocked.
“Y-You impolite!” Ouroboros felt embarrassed when Lestari teased her. For the half-dragon race, stinging breath is a disgrace, if someone says that their breath stinks, then the half-dragon will be ashamed to death.
“Don’t be offended, I’m just joking, your breath doesn’t smell bad, I know you always brush your mouth well,” said Lestari.
“Hmmmmp!” Ouroboros puffed out her cheeks, she pouted.
....
After checking Ristia’s body condition, Lestari rested to relieve fatigue, she sat relaxed on the dry ground. After a few seconds, Ouroboros came over to Lestari, then sat down next to her. They both witnessed the process of forest regeneration which was destroyed by the blast of hot lava.
The eternal forest, is the nickname given by the Skyscraper to the first floor of the Reliquia tower. All types of plants on the first floor will grow back in a short time if they are damaged. This phenomenon is then used by wood entrepreneurs from all over the world to produce high quality wood in large quantities, they are free to cut trees at will without fear of damaging the ecosystem, as long as they have paid off expensive licensing fees.
“Hey, Leistiari,” Ouroboros called, she looked up at the beautiful sky.
“What?” Lestari looked annoyed that she was always spoken to by Ouroboros.
“Ever since my Queen raged in the plateau, I’ve always been watching over you in the shadows. The beginning of your journey was very sad, struck by thunder while are inside the gondola, I laughed out loud when I saw my Queen was scared. I also met Ascentor in the evening, we chatted, then he left me alone in the forest. I know Ascentor feels guilty for the tragedy in the plateau.”
“Now that Ascentor is looking for Faberi’s whereabouts in this tower, he wants to make amends. If he doesn’t find Faberi within a year, I’m sure he will suffer a lot and kill himself.”
“I’m sure Mrs.Faberi is locked up in a cold and freezing place, she’s in Pleutas.”
“Why are you so sure?” asked Lestari.
“Last time, I saw Mrs.Faberi fighting in Pleutas, before she was finally locked up in the altar. Faberi is a very powerful half-fox, she is able to slaughter the FoS alone and is able to reverse the situation in the war of universe. Despite being in confinement, Mrs. Faberi still carries out a barrage of attacks and causes trouble for the enemy.”
“You mean the fallen angels weren’t able to move Faberi’s altar?” Lestari asked once again.
“Yes, that is true!” cried Ouroboros.
“Your theory makes sense, it makes a lot of sense. I was shocked, my heart almost exploded.”
“Oi, you admit to being surprised, but your face doesn’t show that you are really surprised. Leistiari, you are making fun of me!?” Ouroboros clicked her fingers, she wanted to hit Lestari.
“....” Lestari stood up, then she glanced at Ouroboros with a sharp glance.
“W-What?” Ouroboros felt intimidated by Lestari’s sinister glance.
“Before you punch me, I want to ask you something...” Lestari frowned in annoyance.
“Just ask,” Ouroboros replied.
“Have you found all the documents belonging to Faberi scattered in this tower!?” estari asked in a deep voice.
“AH!!!” Ouroboros was surprised and dumbfounded, she immediately avoided eye contact with Lestari and crawled slowly away from the Commander of the Skyscrapers.
“Where are you going?” Lestari grabbed Ouroboros’ right leg, she held the half-dragon from escaping.
“I-I-I-I only found one document....” Ouroboros’s face was pale and sweating.
“Alright, you will receive a very excruciating punishment from me!”
“W-Wait a minute, please listen to my explanation!”
“Please speak, I would love to hear your excuse for not being able to find all of Faberi’s documents for 9 years! Even though this task was given directly by her, but why did you only find one document!?” Lestari pulled the collar of Ouroboros’ shirt and looked closely at the half-dragon face.
“C-Calm first. Look, I’m not good at figuring things out, this time I’m going to defend myself. Should a search mission like this be left to Ascentor, he’s a top tier demon who has the ability to detect both inanimate objects and living things. While me? I am a killing machine on the battlefield, I have killed countless humans, demons, and angels. I’m having a really hard time completing this document search mission!” Ouroboros explained, speaking really fast, she was out of breath and gasping for air.
“Oh, I see. What have you been doing for the past 9 years?” Lestari asked.
“A-After finding one of Faberi’s documents in the sewers, I always stop by the explorer camp to relax, sometimes I come down from the tower and have fun in the towns of Samise, Temise, Bemise, and Lamise.” Ouroboros replied, listlessly.
“You are a lazy half-dragon. These documents are very important, if they fall into enemy hands or are used as food wrappers by fried food traders, it can become a big problem. Do you know the contents of Faberi’s document?”
“D-Don’t know....”
“INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR QUEEN, YOU KNOW!” Lestari exclaimed, she was very upset.
“AAAAAA!!!” Ouroboros shouted, she was so shocked to find out that Faberi’s documents were so valuable.
“Just so, you know, all this time, for 9 years, I’ve always waited for your presence with all the Faberi documents, but you didn’t come, so I did a series of research so I wouldn’t make a mistake in taking care of your Queen. I spent 9 years, always sleeping late and rarely resting, just to research it!”
“H-How is this Leistiari? If I knew from the start that the contents of Faberi’s documents were so important, I couldn’t possibly relax and keep looking for them even though I’m not an expert in finding things.” Ouroboros let out theatrical tears.
Lestari took a short breath, then she sat down beside the half-dragon. “Basically you are a lazy half-dragon, from now on I won’t force you to search for the document, it’s better if we search together, but as a reward, you must defeat the enemies that stand in our way. Agree?”
“Okay! I very agree!” Ouroboros gave a thumbs up and smiled broadly.
“Now show me the documents you found,” said Lestari, while extending her right hand towards the half-dragon.
“Wait a minute, huh…. Dimension, Mosint-Nagan.” Ouroboros opened a dimensional hole and stuck her right hand into it, then she took out a long object.
“What’s that?” asked Lestari, she was curious.
“Ah, sorry, I spelled the wrong spell. This is a weapon, a rifle called the Mosint-Nagan, this weapon is not capable of injuring demons and angels, but it is very effective at killing humans from a distance,” Ouroboros explained, then she loaded the rifle with 5 bullets, then aimed at the sky.
Ouroboros gently pressed the trigger of the rifle.
BANG!
“The sound of gunfire is pleasing to the ear. Where did you get this weapon from?” Lestari was impressed by the weapon called the Mosint-Nagan.
“Of course from Mrs.Faberi, she gave this rifle in commemoration of the egg-laying day,” Ouroboros replied, cocking the rifle to remove bullet casings.
“Oh I see. What an amazing weapon, now show me the documents you found!”
“A-Alright, hehehe… Dimensions, documents.” Ouroboros put the rifle back into the dimensional hole, then she took out a document wrapped in a strange layer and handed it to Lestari.
This damn lizard deliberately wants to show off its weapon called the Mosint-Nagan. Thought Lestari, glanced cynically at Ouroboros.
“What kind of thing is this? Very thin and see-through,” asked Lestari, she was very confused.
“Oh, that’s called plastic,” Ouroboros replied.
“Plastic? What is that? Some kind of cloth?”
“No. Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic polymerization products. Plastics are formed from organic condensation or addition of polymers and may also consist of other substances to improve the quality of the plastic. Plastics can be formed into synthetic fibers. Plastics are designed with a huge variety in properties that can tolerate heat, hardness, durability, and so on,” explains Ouroboros.
“Oh, I see. I don’t understand at all,” said Lestari, her eyes widening.
“Humph, the civilization here is so out of date. Even if I explain in as much detail as possible, you won’t understand.”
“Yeah, the planet I’m in right now is really pathetic.”
“While it is sad, after all this planet is your home, you must take good care of it,” Ouroboros said.
Lestari became sullen after hearing Ouroboros’ advice, she looked at the half-dragon with a sad look, then replied, “Understood.”
“Oh. Oh. It’s really hard for you to obey what I say, you usually always interrupt when I give advice,” Ouroboros said, she smiled mockingly.
“I’m not like that, Ouroboros. I always respect the advice of people who have a noble heart.”
“Ah! I’m flattered!” Ouroboros blush and she's wagging her fat tail.
