I, Kaoru, once known as âââââ of the âââââ. Possessor of a vast âââââ and inexhaustible âââââ. However, those things have no ââ¤âââââ use right now.
I recalled those days when I was thirteen years old.
That was a rainy day; the old gentleman was jumping and spinning continuously under the rain. He shouted in joy while taking off the only two clothing he was wearing. He was acting just like a fifty years old child.
I was still in exile at the time. Without any place to stay, I could only hide under the parkâs sliding board to take shelter from the rain.
I asked the old gentleman why he didnât come in to take shelter, why was he so happy despite being drenched in the rain.
The old gentleman said, âLife is just like getting â¡ââââ. Since we cannot resist it, we might as well enjoy it.â
I was still young at that time and couldnât understand the despair under his cover.
But now, I have finally understood how one could lose their will to resist in the face of true terror.
Even so, I still couldnât bring myself to enjoy this from having reached such a realization.
Thatâs because⦠this is really too embarrassingâ¦
Why⦠just why did the evil human create something as embarrassing as a bandage costume! Isnât this just a rag? How could this be counted as clothes?!
âHeh-heh-heh⦠so beautiful.â
Donât deceive me! Your face doesnât look like one thatâs appreciating a beautiful thing!
âHeh-heh, good daughter, donât move randomly⦠Let me record this beautiful moment with the spectrum stone,â mother retrieved a blue crystal from somewhere.
Wait a minute! I got a bad feeling from the sound of this spectrum stone. It sounded just like some kind of video recording equipment.
âAs long as I record with this, I will be able to appreciate my daughterâs beauty at any time.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
So⦠itâs true!!! Wait-wait-wait! Did you know this is against the law? Doesnât it hurt your conscience to do something this cruel to your newborn daughter? Did you know what kind of harmful influence it will bring about to my still immature heart?
âMnya! Nghh Nh-nh-nh-nhhh!â I started to struggle, but I couldnât take off the bandage costume. It was wrapping my body in circles. The more I struggle, the more I got tangled up and turned into some kind of bondage play.
âHeh-heh-heh⦠no wonder youâre my daughter, even your taste is the same as mommy⦠Lookie here~ Ahn~ That rebellious yet inviting expression is so irresistible.â
Whoâs rebellious yet inviting? My face is showing naught but resistance okay? If you keep this up, Iâm really going to report this to the police⦠uh⦠it seems like even the police wonât be able to handle this caseâ¦
Damn it! Is there no one who can save me?
Perhaps even the Heaven couldnât bear to watch my sufferings any longer, the spectrum stone in motherâs hands suddenly started to ring.
âTsk, that âââ¢â£ââ¡â,â mother tapped the spectrum stone with a very irritated face.
A projection manifested atop the spectrum stone. What appeared on the screen was a refined-looking old man with a grizzled beard.
The old man slightly bowed before mother, âMy queen.â
âAkarin huh, whatâs the matter?â So that old man is the gray-colored dragon from earlier huh.
âThe preparation for the party is completed. It is time for Your Majesty to enter with the princess.â
âTsk, why are they so fast⦠Alright alright, weâll be there soon,â mother wanted to switch off the spectrum stone as soon as she finished speaking.
At this time, I realized; this is my chance! Even for my mother who possessed the highest authority among the dragons, she definitely wouldnât want her subordinate to know she was this kind of person in private.
And once her image has been busted, she will be admonished by many loyal subjects. Then she will have no choice but to give up on ravaging me due to the sheer pressure from her peers.
Hah! I, Mordred (omitted the rest), am indeed a genius.
âGa ga goo goo!â I started to cry out desperately.
âHm? How can I hear the princessâ voice? Is she around?â
Akarin was about to turn his head towards the sound reflexively.
All of a sudden, a terrifying aura shrouded the entire room. Even Akarin, who was on the other side of the screen, also turned pale.
âIf you dare to turn your head, I will snap your neck!â
The frightened Akarin immediately turned off the projection.
Y- you coward! Arenât you a dragon? Why are you so spineless! You peed yourself just from a little fright, do you still have the face to call yourself a dragon?!
Damn it! I was too naive, to my mother who could crush every obstacle with brute force, thereâs no such thing as constrainâ¦
Mother put away the spectrum stone and said with a dejected look, âSigh~ Why does good time always end so quickly? The party is about to begin.â
She continued with a sigh, âI still have a few sets I wanted to try. There are some that looked even better than thisâ¦â
T- thereâs still something that looks even better (more embarrassing)? Donât tell me you spent the entirety of the last twenty years just to buy clothes? Thatâs too scary! Way too scary! Is mother really such a terrifying creature?
Mother picked up a Western-style dress thatâs been prepared long ago, âAlright, just put this on first. We will try the other 109,861 clothes some other time.â
Thatâs right, thatâs right! As long as you donât make me wear those shameful clothes again, I am willing to wear as much as⦠wait, h- how many did you say again? One⦠hundred nine thousand, and eight hundredâ¦â¦
Just how did you gather one hundred nine thousand and eight⦠no, including the one hundred thirty one sets earlier, there are one hundred ten thousand sets of clothes here. I will just kneel down before you alright? Just accept my bow of servitude.
At this very moment, I felt that instead of getting â¡ââââ, I have been ââââââââââ one hundred ten thousand times.
