Chapter 7: Ultimately, hikikomori is the strongest!
I made it.
I am now cowering inside my home while upside down.
During that time, after the flying dragon’s breath had subsided, I was lucky enough to score hole-in-one to my home.
Honestly, I thought I was going to die.
Like dead for real.
My body is ragged.
Full of scratches and cuts, some part of my body has scales peeling off from it.
Ah, the blood is out.
My blood is kinda dark, isn’t it?
This is the first time I see this. As expected of a dragon.
Ouch. It really hurts.
It’s been a while since I felt pain.
I’ve never been in any fight before in my past life, so I had forgotten how it feels like.
Aah, it’s a throbbing pain.
When the flying dragon released its breath, I manage to dodge the hit.
To be honest, it was a close one.
I think the attack was probably far off the mark.
Right now, from a distance, it looks like a mushroom cloud.
The flying dragon’s breath really holds tremendous power.
It probably thinks that I was caught in the explosion.
Thank goodness it was far.
Admittedly, I will be dead if I got hit.
I’ve seen the same mushroom cloud before from bombing, but on TV.
Also, the entrance of the hole collapse due to the shock of the breath attack. The room is in ruin.
I’m okay, but my entire home crumbled.
It’s how life is.
At least, I made it out alive.
Fortunately, the flying dragon was tricked by my crumbling home.
I couldn’t see outside, but the explosion continues for two and three times after that.
The dragon probably releases its breath without stopping.
It’s scary to be hunt like this.
It got quiet after a while, but I don’t feel like going out yet.
I’m scared.
Is there someone foolish enough to go outside while that thing is still out there?
I’m sorry.
Yes, I’m the fool.
Clearly, the flying dragon came here because it was surprised by my breath.
It’s too shocking, isn’t it?
Of course, you’ll be surprised and want to find out who did it if there’s suddenly an explosion nearby.
Sorry.
Please let me explain.
I had no choice.
It was fun shooting breath!
I just can’t help myself.
When I was a kid, I can’t shoot Kame ○ ha.
But then, I can do it using my mouth.
That’s why I became excited about it.
Un, let’s be careful after this.
Also, I’m scared of outside.
Let’s live peacefully underground for a while.
At least, until I’ve grown big enough.
Besides, initially, I’m a weak human. A pampering salaryman.
That part of me still hasn’t changed even after I reincarnated into a dragon.
I’m just a mere citizen.
To begin with, it’s a mistake to survive by the law of the jungle.
Growing up sheltered, I’m weak when faced with adversity.
Furthermore, it’s only been two days since I was born into this world.
A baby is still a baby.
But still, I’m walking normally though.
Anyway, I should rest for my growth.
Exploration and others will be paused for now.
It’s a stop when it’s paused.
So, let’s stay underground.
Also, I don’t think there will be any foreign enemy underground.
I’ve decided.
When you think carefully about it, my food is rock and soil.
I don’t have any problem with food, and no one can yell at me even if I sleep all day long.
That’s because I’m a dragon.
I’m a lonely dead wood from the start.
So, I’m used to being alone.
I’m not particularly sad about it, you know?
While leisurely eating the soil, indulge in laziness, I’ll live my life underground as a good-for-nothing hikikomori.
Wait a minute.
That way of life doesn’t sound too bad, isn’t it?
My dream during my days as a corporate slave in my previous life before has now come true.
Uhhoho, yes!
With that being said, let’s have a meal.
After all, the best way to heal is to eat.
Eat and sleep. This is the best.
I bit one of the rocks nearby.
Crunch Crunch Crunch
So delicious.
Ah, this is the red stone I ate yesterday.
This is the most delicious thing I ever had.
Even after I dug for a while now, this layer still seems to go on. Should I focus on expanding this part?
Now then, how about I extend my home.
While eating the stone, I was thinking of what kind of house should I make from now on.
By the way, my body is completely healed after three days.
And during that time I have molted five times already.
A dragon’s body is truly incredible.
AUTHOR’S NOTE:
Finally, the protagonist dungeon making begins.
Well, it’s a basic stuff, so don’t expect a lot from it.
