Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!
218 This Dragon Is Way Too Serious!
-----
Suddenly, noticing that I was spacing out with my intense romantic thoughts, Partner and Lucifer decided to wake me up from my daze.
"Master, what's wrong?" asked Partner.
"You've been looking very weird lately. Are you doing alright?" asked Lucifer.
"I-I have?! I am just… erm, melancholic… Yeah!" I said.
"Uhh… Okay…" said Lucifer.
"Well, don't worry, Master, those souls are now in a better place, right?" asked Partner.
"Yep… They are… It's all thanks to our beautiful Emeraldine's help." I said.
"E-Eh? Ah… It's nothing…" said Emeraldine. She had woken up from her daze, and she had been looking at me intensively for a while now…
"Anyways, let me feed you today~," said Partner, offering me a spoon with soup.
"W-Wait! I thought I was going… to do it…" said Lucifer.
"Huh? Since when do you do this?" asked Emeraldine.
"Y-You two always do it! I also want to… pamper… Maria…" said Lucifer.
He was getting shyer with every word he said, averting his gaze from me as his pale-white face became a bit red, and it was barely noticeable.
"Heeh~? So you want to do it? But only girls do this… You're a guy!" said Partner.
"W-Who said that?!" asked Lucifer.
"Well, it's kind of true. In the stories I've read, it's the girl that feeds the love interest with food in a cute manner…." I said.
"Maria… So you think that… then I guess…" sighed Lucifer, as he was about to just forget about the idea.
I quickly took Partner's spoon with warm soup and then cut a piece of grilled meat and offered it to Lucifer.
"Alright, come here and pick this up~," I said.
"Huh?! Master! I want to be pampered too…" said Partner.
"Partner, I slept with you last night. You were very clingy and snuggled a lot, so it's unfair if you want all the attention…." I said.
"Okay…" sighed Partner.
I petted her red-haired head as Lucifer shyly looked at the fork.
"Come on, what are you waiting for?" I asked.
"Th-This is an unsightly thing to do as a Dragon…" he sighed.
"Don't be like that. Just accept it and eat it up." I sighed.
"O-Okay…" he said.
Lucifer quickly received the meat. He couldn't help but feel awkward, but he really wanted to do this kind of stuff for some reason, so I allowed him to.
"Is this really alright?" he wondered.
"Yeah, come on, it will get cold…." I said.
And like that, I ended up spoiling my dragon daddy a bit. He was always the shyest one and the one that got the least attention because he was very shy and more prideful than the girls, but he was opening up more now.
I was slowly softening him up, fufu.
In the end, Partner also asked to be fed this way, and I did, and then Emeraldine too, so I did…
And then Catarina asked for it and-
"Don't get ahead of yourself!" I said.
"Ah! S-Sorry…" said Catarina.
She had grown a bit humbler lately, to the point of even being able to say things such as "sorry."
After all the spoiling, the night quickly came after dinner, and I decided to go to sleep for tomorrow's journey, as it was going to be a long day, so I didn't want to waste any hours of sleep.
I didn't need to sleep, but my mind felt like it wanted a break from everything that had happened today and the previous days, so I flew to my carriage and decided to rest.
In the bed, there was Lucifer.
There was a deal where the trio would take turns when sleeping at my side. It's nothing really sexual, just sleeping near me, and it seems that it is what they like the most.
I don't really get it sometimes, but they're clingy with me, so that's that. Not like I am complaining, I like it, and I suppose I get it. They just like to feel themselves being loved… or something.
Anyways, with such a handsome old dragon at my side, it's hard to keep my composure…
"Maria…"
"Hm?"
Lucifer suddenly spoke to me as his expressionless face looked into the moonlight outside of the carriage. His crimson-red eyes shone with a sorrowful light to them.
"I don't even know what I am doing half the time…" he sighed.
"Ah… W-What do you mean?" I asked.
"I have lost track of what I was meant to do… I guess it all ended up revolving around you," he said.
"Huh? Well… I suppose you kind of wanted revenge against the humans that killed the demon king and all of that… which I don't want to remind you of…." I said.
"Yeah… I suppose our goals align so much that it feels like you're just carrying me towards them while I only stand there looking, while I grow more captivated on you…" he said.
"Y-You sound kind of sad because of me being awesome…." I said.
"Hah… I guess I am actually quite happy. I am happy that I managed to raise you as an Undead. You've changed my life- I mean, my death, more than I could have expected." Said Lucifer.
"Aw… You don't have to be so sweet over it." I said.
"Well, I have to… I am just… thinking many things all the time…" he said.
"You do?" I asked.
"Yes, but… I am sorry for not being able to express them all the time… It is hard to be as open as those two. I am not the same type of person as they are… I am sadly not someone you would like to be with, right?" asked Lucifer.
"Eh? What are you talking about? You're here with me, so of course, I like to be with you, dummy. You're trying to make me pity you, so I pamper you more?" I asked.
"E-Eh? No… I…" he muttered.
"Geez, you're really a manipulative man… You don't have to worry about either of those things, I am happy as I am, and that includes having you at my side. Let's go meet your dragon family whenever we got time, alright?" I asked.
"Truly?" he asked.
"Yeah, why not? We have to go confirm if there are any survivors after all." I said.
"Maria… Thanks… I am grateful to have met someone like you." He said.
"Aw, come on, stop being so grateful… Now come here, let's snuggle… Goodnight, Lucy." I said.
"D-Don't call me Lucy!" he roared angrily.
"Haha! That's the Lucy I like!" I giggled.
Lucifer sighed as he waved his head and then caressed my face a bit.
"You're beautiful when you giggle like that. It… soothes my troubled heart." He said.
"H-huh?! What with that compliment?!" I asked.
"…Nothing, don't mind it. Sometimes when we are alone, I feel the inspiration to praise you, as you are like a fine piece of art to me," he said.
"Um, you're still praising me…." I said.
"R-Right, sorry…" he said.
Lucifer fell silent for a bit as I slowly moved my hand to his own and held it tightly.
"…"
He didn't say anything, but I could feel that he also strongly held it back.
"You'll never be alone anymore. I am with you now… Okay?" I said.
"That came out of nowhere…" he answered.
"I-It didn't! I was trying to be romantic! Geez…!"
