Chapter 90 - 126 - MOTHER!!
"Uh... ladies, you’ve passed. I accept both of you as my mother"
"Kyaaa~"
’Really, that cry again’, While flying, Chrono couldn’t help but feel frustrated hearing the same cry of fear.
"Ladie—"
"How cute!", Yue jumped and hugged the little dragon tightly, pressing him against her chest while snuggling her cheeks against his head.
"S-t-op i-t,"
Chrono tried to free himself from the tight grip that seemed to drain his strength, feeling suffocated amidst her embrace.
"Y-yue, that cat will die, stop it now", Mei stood up, enchanted by those glittering amethyst eyes and shimmering black scales of that small creature — Chrono was a straight-up Lady killer.
"Are you alright, little baby?", Mei grabbed Chrono from her sister’s hands, hugging him while caressing his head that felt soft, smooth, and slippery, ’Hehehe, how smooth it is’
"Haa... haa... my breath", Chrono breathed in relief after getting out of Yue’s clutches, feeling strangled between something pillowy and soft.
After hearing giggling sounds, Chrono’s eyes met with Mei’s face, illuminated by moonlight, giving her a creepy look that didn’t fit the beauty she was.
Love sometimes turns even gentlemen into madmen, and it was true for her, who had fallen in love with those scales.
"Mei, see! He finds you creepy"
Hearing her sister’s words, Mei lifted Chrono with both hands, meeting his amethyst eyes while Chrono’s face was twitching visibly.
"Are you for real, sniff.....?" Mei’s eyes started to well up, unaware of the reality behind those tears, that were more like Crocodile ones.
Chrono found it unfitting just to let those tears fall like that, Ofcourse her eyes were dry — but who will tell him?
"Wait, Lady, don’t cry. I don’t find you creepy at all. Instead, you are very beautiful"
Chrono folded his tiny hands, trying to calm the damsel in distress, forgetting his past experiences with these so-called damsels, whether it was the caramel-haired girl or his sword lady.
"R-really?"
"Yes, I never lie. You can even ask Cotton-candy", Oblivious to her dry eyes, the dragon continued trying to console her.
"C-cotton candy?"
"This lady behind me. She smells good"
Yue, feeling down after seeing how excitedly she had embraced the talking pet, causing it to get strangled, before her eyes turned towards both of them, looking at them with wide eyes and not believing those words, she pointed to herself, "Me, smell good?"
Chrono nodded again, not finding any reason to hide his interest, or perhaps she unintentionally lost that scent, then it would be lost for him.
"Pffft, Little Pet, she hasn’t even bathed for three days straight," Mei burst into laughter, watching with a smug at her sister, making Yue’s face turn crimson before she swiftly took Chrono into her embrace from behind, hugging him while wrapping her arms around his small tummy.
"Only those people take baths regularly who stink," Yue threw this fact at her sister, implying that the primary reason for people to take bath is to conceal any unpleasant body odor.
" I-i Stink—"
Grroowwl~
’!?’
Suddenly, they heard a loud sound coming from the small dragon’s tummy, prompting both of them to look at each other.
A secret message passed between them, nodding in agreement.
"Let’s go, I still have my secret collection of high-quality cookies under my bed," Yui spoke confidently, ready to sacrifice her life’s savings to get the attention of this cute creature.
But suddenly, she realized her mistake upon seeing Mei’s face twitching while clenching her fists as she looked toward her.
"But when I asked, didn’t you say you were broke and totally bankrupt?", A small vein bulged on Mei’s forehead, her another hand massaged her wrist, preparing to teach her sister a lesson.
GULP
Seeing her sister’s stern expression, Yue knew her fate was sealed.
Scratching her chin, she attempted a final struggle, "Hehehe, I just took a loan "
But noticing Mei’s expression remained unchanged, her mouth twitching more, Yue slowly retreated, "Y-you see, dear sister..."
Slowly, she brought Chrono towards her face, keeping his back turned toward her, hiding her face behind his back.
Mei’s eyes met with Chrono, whose mouth was a water fountain, lost in his own imagination of those delicious cookies he was about to feast on.
Taking a small peak from small dragon’s behind, Yue threw petrol on the spark with a smug look on her face.
"Don’t make that face, sister. Although you’ve already crossed the marriage age, it will cause early wrinkles. Pffft."
"You did it now!"
Mei pounced on her, but Yue skillfully avoided her, smoothly dodging her hands as if it were a daily task.
"Let’s go, pet, it’s feast time!", Yue sprinted away, not giving a single glance back.
Mei, feeling nothing in her hands, sprinted too, chasing after her.

"Slurp....Yummy."
Two girls sat, bending their knees, watching a small black dragon clear the plate with his tongue, sitting in a teddy-like position.
The little creature, with its shiny amethyst eyes, looked adorable.
"Sister, should we keep him?", Yue’s eyes sparkled at the idea of having such a cute companion.
The mansion by the seaside was mostly empty or inhabited by Young Master Zephyr, who didn’t have the best impression on them due to some childhood memories.
"Here", Yue took out her last remaining cookie, a treasure she preserved with utmost care.
Insignificant to nobles but precious to her with her commoner background, finding happiness in these little things meant a lot, She believed.
Enjoy small moments as they come, At the end, that’s what makes life worthwhile
"What are you even saying? We are going to keep him", Mei continued to caress his scales while he was engrossed in devouring those small but delicious cookies, paying little attention to her.
"B-but what if Young Master Zephyr shows up again?"
Suddenly, Mei’s hand paused midway, remembering past memories that were far from pleasant.
She turned towards Yue, looking down, biting her lip and clenching her hands.
Though she wanted to say she didn’t care, the concern lingered, it was etched into her mind.
"It’s okay, he may have forgotten about us. We will be... s-safe, I guess"
Chrono, finished with his last cookie, turned towards them, only to witness their blossoming faces fade into sorrow.
He might have acted immature at times, but he wasn’t oblivious.
It didn’t take much for him to notice their sad mood.
’Sigh, I can’t see my soon-to-be mothers like this’
With a swift movement of his wings, he ascended into the air.
"Huh? Do you need more cookies?", Yue watched Chrono fly, contemplating whether to reveal her secret stash of additional cookies hidden all over the mansion, known only to her or not.
Ofcourse, she doesn’t revealed her complete Treasure.
Flying down, Chrono landed on Mei’s head, pressing his tummy against it, confusing both women.
"Mother, don’t be sad, Kyu~"
’!?’
"M-MOTHER!!"
