Legendary?

This is fucking legendary?

Are you kidding me!!?

But according to Herbert's previous explanation, she shouldn't be this strong!

Fremay knew that Herbert sometimes deceived her with sweet words, telling harmless lies.

However, she shouldn't be deceiving her about Valentina's strength.

If Herbert wasn't lying, then clearly something had changed in the situation.

Could it be that Valentina has improved during this time?

Has she successfully broken through that barrier and advanced to an Epic Level Giant Dragon?

Judging solely from the threat she posed, Valentina indeed might be capable of that.

But judging from the aura she emitted, she was still within the realm of Legendary.

Valentina might be Epic; Valentina being Epic is unlikely.

No matter what Valentina's strength is, the threat she imposes on Fremay is real.

Although she just parted ways with Herbert, she already started to miss him.

"Herbert, where are you? Come back quickly!"

"She, she she... she's not cute anymore!"

Previously, Fremay always found Valentina's sleeping face quite cute.

But she never expected that this adorable sleeper would look so dangerous when awake!

Not cute at all!

Fierce.

Moreover, the most crucial, and the most unsettling for Fremay... was the way Valentina initially looked at her.

"Valentina actually has an appetite for me!"

Does she want to eat me?

So scary...

Although Fremay knew in her heart that it was probably just a misconception from her being too nervous.

She didn't dare to gamble.

Better safe than sorry.

I'll wait for Herbert to return.

With him here, she surely won't be rough with me, right?

The Sea Siren had a lot of thoughts, cautiously observing Miss Hungry Dragon.

But in fact, all Fremay did was overthink.

Scaring herself~

Let alone whether Valentina would attack humanoid creatures... just because Fremay is connected to Herbert, she couldn't possibly do so.

Besides, Valentina is full right now!

After having a wonderful meal with Svanni, she's not hungry at all, can't eat anything... well, except snacks.

Thinking this, Valentina's mood soured by vigilance, she reached into the crevice in front of her chest, searched carefully, and pulled out a shriveled "mushroom snack."

When leaving Svanni, this newly acquainted generous friend specially packed some extra snacks for her.

The Dark Elf gave me something tasty, the Dark Elf is good.

The Sea Siren unjustly guards against me, the Sea Siren is bad.

She stuffed the mushroom snack into her mouth, biting it fiercely, trying to vent her anger through chewing.

Chew chew chew chew chew chew...

Originally, Valentina was reluctant to eat these things, planning to keep them for when she's hungry.

But after seeing Fremay, even Valentina realized one thing — Herbert had returned.

Once he's back, she won't lack food.

So, why bother with "reserve food"? Aren't they all my "snacks"?

She transformed her humiliation into appetite, chewing large mouthfuls.

But because this snack was specially made for her by Svanni, she couldn't really chew it through, like chewing gum.

Chew chew chew chew chew chew...

The Prison of Endless Silence fell into stillness, the sound of crunching the only thing echoing.

A Giant Dragon and a Mermaid, silently "confronting" each other.

After a while, Fremay's emotions gradually calmed, adjusting to the threat the other posed.

She also realized, Valentina might look "menacing," but probably genuinely bore no malice towards her.

Indeed, the initial threat she felt was just an illusion, right!

Thinking this, Fremay revealed herself, ready to descend and formally converse with Valentina...

Just then, Fremay noticed Valentina lifting her head, discreetly swallowing in her direction.

Gulp.

!!?

No way!

She still wants to eat me!!?

Just as Fremay was shocked, staring at Valentina, Valentina also noticed her gaze.

Four eyes met, only leaving awkwardness behind.

"..."

"..."

Valentina was caught red-handed, awkwardly touched her nose, and then kept blinking her eyes, finally whistling nonchalantly as she turned her head.

After this series of actions, even a fool could see her guilty conscience.

"..."

But this time, Fremay didn't overreact dramatically.

On the contrary, she hesitated for a moment and actually took the initiative to slowly descend from the ceiling, landing on the ground.

The situation was just as Valentina had said before; after all, Miss Hungry Dragon could indeed fly.

If she truly wanted to make a move, hiding in the air or on the ground would not make much of a difference.

But the attitude these two stances represented was completely different.

Fremay suppressed the unease in her heart and proactively asked Valentina: "...What are you eating??"

Seeing Fremay somewhat lower her guard, Valentina felt a bit better, and her pout wasn't as pronounced anymore.

"Mmm-mmm, guh... hmph."

She hummed proudly, seemingly aloof, but after swallowing a bite, she answered honestly: "I don't know either, someone gave it to me."

Valentina bit into a "snack" and thought for a moment, then reached into a crevice in the valley with her other hand and fished out another piece of dried mushroom.

"Though it's a bit tough to bite, it tastes pretty good... want a piece?"

She shook the dried mushroom at Fremay, much like a child sharing spicy sticks at the school gate.

Hey, want a piece?

"Uh, I think I'll... okay, thanks."

Fremay initially wanted to refuse but changed her mind halfway through.

I'm eating it because I want to, not because of Valentina's suddenly sad eyes prompting me to change my mind.

Fremay used her magic power to pull the dried mushroom closer, and seeing Valentina visibly happy, cheeks stuffed while munching, she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Hold it in, don't laugh out loud.

If I laugh out loud here, everything would be over.

She pressed her lips together, lowered her head, and couldn't help but think: "This girl... she really resembles a peculiar otter!"

The last time when she saw Valentina sleeping, Fremay had already noticed her cuteness.

And now, it further proved her initial thought.

Alright, I take back what I said earlier, Valentina... is a little bit cute.

Yes, just a little bit.

Fremay hid her emotions, lifted her head with a smile, and then brought the dried mushroom to her mouth.

Crunch.

Grind, grind!

"..."

Fremay's face twitched, smiling silently as she put down the dried mushroom.

"As expected... too tough to bite."

It's only natural, considering Valentina's gigantic dragon bite force struggled to chew it, let alone her.

Seeing her take it out, Valentina let out a sigh of regret: "Ah..."

Looking at Valentina's somewhat disappointed gaze, Fremay suddenly took out a small bag and asked:

"Um, Miss Valentina? I still have some small fish I made myself, would you like to try them?"

Whoosh!

Before she even finished speaking, a crimson shadow rushed over.

Before Fremay could react, Valentina's figure was already right in front of her.

"Really!? Can I!?"

Her eyes were sparkling, staring expectantly at the somewhat awkward Sea Siren.

Fremay: ...Yikes.

So fast, such exaggerated speed!

She felt the close proximity of the Giant Dragon, and it was all she could do to suppress her instinct to flee.

Only now could she firmly believe that Valentina truly meant no harm to her.

Otherwise, with her speed, she would have been dead from the start.

Fremay forced a smile, opened the small bag, nodded, and said: "...Of course."

"We can chat while we eat, I have a lot of things I want to ask you."

Seeing Miss Hungry Dragon's eyes almost fall into the bag, she couldn't help but chuckle, shaking her head: "I imagine you probably have lots of questions for me too, right?"

"Right!"

Valentina, staring at the small fish, spoke seriously:

"What does this taste like!!?"

"How much more do you have?"

Please!

These two questions are really important to me!
