Chapter 173: Isn't That a Good Thing...?
Just as I was starting to feel like Hindel was becoming a nuisance, the Red Dragon opened her crimson eyes.
"...I want to stay like this a little longer."
It seemed the Dragon Lord wanted to act spoiled. However, I was of the mind that children should be raised with a firm hand. To prevent Hindel from continuing her nonsense, I grabbed the head she was rubbing against my lap and slowly lifted it.
"I'm getting up, I'm getting up... Don't force me."
Hindel grumbled as she moved her head from my lap. She seemed quite dissatisfied that I was forcing her up. I felt like I had been too kind to her; I really should have given her a good smack when she started whining like a brat.
"...It's been a while, so surely a little bit is fine, right? Papa?"
"Hindel, it's time you graduated from Papa. I'm becoming an adult too, you know?"
"Ugh... I think it's still fine."
Hindel looked at me with narrowed eyes. She seemed hurt, but I wasn't going to budge this time.
Our relationship had been reciprocal.
I didn't know if Hindel grew up without parents or just without a father, but she wanted to feel warm paternal affection from me. For my part, I didn't have a beautiful big sister with a great body, so I needed a Big Sister I could play with and touch in all the right places.
Until now, we had a mutually beneficial relationship, filling each other's voids. But unlike Hindel, I now had plenty of other Big Sisters—not just ones I could play with, but ones who made me feel very, very good. It was time to redefine our relationship.
"Hindel, you can't keep living with me and calling me 'Papa' forever, right?"
"...I think I could do it for the rest of my life."
This dragon brat seemed to have no conscience at all.
"When I get married, are you still going to go around calling me 'Papa'? I'll have a wife by then."
"Th-that's..."
It was simply time for the Dragon Lord to break out of her shell and face the cold, hard reality.
"I-if... I marry Papa..."
The dragon brat really was shameless.
"Didn't you say you were going to marry my mom?"
"Can't the three of us just do it together...?"
Correction: it wasn't that she lacked a conscience; she just hadn't received a proper home education. Seeing how she kept clinging to the "Papa" thing, I judged there was a high probability that Hindel's father had been a man-whore, just as Amber's mother was a whore.
"You're suggesting a mother-son threesome right now? Hindel... that's disgusting."
"Ugh... N-no, that's not it...! It's just that Ame is precious... and Papa is precious too...!"
I truly wondered what went on inside that Yonggary's head.
Trying to make me mate with my own mother—she was a complete lunatic.
"Pervert."
I looked at Hindel with a hardened expression. Reading the contempt in my eyes, Hindel flinched and stepped back.
"That's the absolute worst. It's weird for a mother and son to have sex."
"No... it's not common, but even 200 years ago..."
The Yonggary began to spew excuses frantically. I considered mixing in some insults and verbal abuse like a proper bratty girl would, but in times like this, it was better to just keep my mouth shut.
"There's no legal issue either..."
Hindel's voice began to grow smaller.
"And I don't have to be bound by such things..."
The dragon's voice grew even quieter.
"Ame... likes Papa too..."
Now it was just a mumble.
Seeing Hindel's weak side made my heart soften a bit. My excessive kindness was going to be the death of me.
"I have no intention of marrying Mom."
"Really?"
Marriage was something you did with a human, not a sow. Regardless, Hindel's face looked strangely bright.
I needed to hurry up and break that sow of a mother into a proper female hole, but since she was a cop, finding the right opening wasn't easy.
"I'll give you some time, but Hindel, you need to leave Papa's embrace and become an adult now."
I placed my hand on Hindel's head and stroked it gently.
"You can't stay a child forever. I'll help you for the time we have left. So, let's work hard together, okay?"
"...."
The dragon brat didn't answer until the end. It seemed she'd received a fantasy-style home education where she just kept her mouth shut whenever things got disadvantageous for her.
"You must be very confused right now. Maybe even scared. But I believe you become an adult by not collapsing under that fear and taking it one step... one step at a time. I'm still young, but that's how I feel. I can't be by Hindel's side forever, but I think I can help our cute Hindel learn to walk on her own."
It was ironic that I had to say such childish, cheesy things to a dragon brat who was far older than me and supposedly more mentally mature. But for a dragon who whined while doing sugar daddy dating, this kind of theatrical speech was necessary.
"While I was away at the colony... you seem to have grown too much. I thought it was only for a moment... but you've become an adult."
The dragon brat was committing the filial impiety of calling her "Papa" by the informal "you," but since I had received so many elixirs and peerless divine arts from her, I had no choice but to just smile and maintain my composure.
"I left thinking it would only be for a short while... I should quit my work at the colony. From now on, I will stay by your side constantly."
"Excuse me?"
"The time we have left might not be that short, but the time it takes for you... for Papa to grow up will be like a mere flash. You've gotten taller too... You've grown. Yes, I've decided I must stay by your side. I'll have to work, but at the very least, I must remain in this world."
The dragon brat was boldly declaring her intent to stalk me.
I had been happily planning to live a life where my clones would never run dry across various places, so the emergence of such an obstacle was unexpected.
"I like the Hindel who works hard! I like it when you go to the colony and strive for world peace!"
"Yes, once Papa grows a bit more, I'll take you to the colony. I'll show you the kind of work I do."
Hindel suddenly pulled me into an embrace, burying my face in her massive chest.
If I wasn't careful, I was going to get hooked by this dragon.
"Are you going to marry Mom, Hindel?"
"...I'd like to, but since Ame doesn't see me as anything more than a friend, it's probably impossible."
At least the lizard-head seemed to recognize reality.
I guess I wouldn't have to make an NTR declaration like, 'That elf—no, that sow you like so much? Your son just gave her a good plowing!'
If she didn't give up on targeting my mom, I was planning to film and send her a copy of 'Your Mother Has Been Broken by Her Son and Can No Longer Be Your Husband! ~The Hellish Five-Consecutive-Ejaculation Edition Where the Womb Swells Up~'. Fortunately, it looked like I could protect my mom from the dragon's clutches.
Hindel looked at me as if she wanted to say something, her lips parting a few times before she clamped them shut. Then, with a face that looked like she had given up on something, she let out a long sigh.
"...I didn't realize it when I was creating it, but while I was working, the middle part of the Solar Divine Art kept echoing in my head."
Seeing Hindel's effort to forcibly change the subject, I felt obligated as her "Papa" to go along with it.
"Did you gain some kind of enlightenment?"
It seemed she was trying to use the cliché where a martial art created for a loved one elevates the creator to the next level.
I'd heard a few times about how she'd been doggedly dominated by Grandma, so I was curious if she'd become strong enough to fight her again.
Seeing how that war criminal was living in luxury in prison, it did seem like Grandma needed some "true education" herself. Having had the experience of seeding my mom's healthy womb a few times, even the Elf Hag (estimated 500+ years old) was within my strike zone.
However, since I'd seen how her discrimination against men was bred into her very marrow and how she spewed nonsense, my affection for her was much lower than for my mom's friends who were trying to eat me up, so I didn't have much thought about it!
"No, it's not that... it's... I discovered that I... miscalculated a bit while trying to increase the effectiveness."
"Is there a problem...?"
I was doing perfectly fine. Aside from the severe stress caused by sexual frustration—the fact that I woke up every morning so hard it hurt and wanted to use Mom, no, the sow, for a pleasant morning ejaculation!
"Umm... well... it's a bit..."
Hindel avoided my gaze. There was clearly a significant problem.
"Hindel, look Papa in the eye. What's the problem? Tell me straight."
The Red Yonggary brat squeezed her eyes shut. I should have known from the moment this crazy dragon said she'd teach me a self-created martial art.
Just as this mafia brat grew like a cancer on society, parasitizing and sucking the life out of growth factors, it seemed she had done something similar to me.
"Your... your libido... increases excessively..."
Hindel said something strange.
"Huh?"
"It... excessively increases the action of the testes, so... the volume also becomes quite large..."
It seemed there was something wrong with my body. We were talking about something good, yet it seemed Lady Hindel was gravely mistaken.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"No! That's definitely not a good thing!"
The benevolent Dragon Lord raised her voice.
