Book 15: Chapter 61
“Ugh…”
“I just learnt that dragons can get drunk today.”
I opened the window a little. I then turned back to look at Dragon Mom, who was lying on the bed, completely limp. Because there was nobody else in the room, Dragon Mom went ahead and hid all of her scales, generously revealing her body to me. Needless to say, the reason for her being naked was because she was on fire inside and wanted to cool down a little. She covered her head and sprawled out. She murmured, “Why am I drunk over a little bit of alcohol… Dragons don’t get drunk! That’s impossible! I don’t get drunk on red wine.”
“You drank two barrels last night, not to mention that type of beer is quite strong.”
It was different to the ale we had back in the Palace. It was made from fruits that were the same as bread. The fruits were more similar to cassava. The texture was very similar to German ale and had a high percentage of alcohol.
One glass was enough for me to feel my head spin. Dragon Mom drank with eighteen people last night. She drank more than approximately two barrels by herself. If she was human, she’d be dead from alcohol poisoning.
I went up to Mom’s bed and touched her head. With a smile, I said, “Have a good rest. We aren’t in a rush; however, I’m happy to see you enjoy yourself so much, Mom. Frankly, I never thought you’d be so happy here with the townsfolk.”
Dragon Mom softly chuckled, and then checked her body and arms. She responded, “Perhaps it’s because I’ve gotten used to this body that I feel I’m a human now. Furthermore, I recall the past when I think about the fact that I will soon get to meet my dragon kin. It was ages ago. Nevertheless, I can still remember the days my parents cheerfully played around with other dragons. That’s why I couldn’t resist the urge to indulge in some fun.”
I could understand that. Dragon Mom was soon going to be able to meet her dragon kin, her own kind. Similarly to this place, the feeling she experienced was totally different to the lonely feeling of the past. Previously, Mom fell into loneliness and couldn’t pull herself out of it when she saw how prosperous humans and elves were. Seeing us lively reminded her of the loathsome and lonely days that she spent alone in the desert, so she did her best to avoid lively situations.
