The Case Where I Got Married To A Dragon In A Life Ending Situation

Chapter 14 : The prowess of Ice-Dragon

“Huh…?”

Everything was frozen.

The sounds of animals that should have been faintly audible, the bustle of people, and even the sense that something was there—all of it had stopped.

“Don’t worry, Minato. Stay close to me.”

“Ah, okay…”

Mira-san restrained me as I tried to stand up impulsively. The warmth of her hand, gently gripping mine, was comforting in this world where everything had come to a standstill. Just that warmth brought me reassurance.

‘How pathetic… Being comforted by my wife like this. But… It’s clear that woman is not an ordinary person… There’s nothing I can do.’

Unfortunately, it looks like I have no choice but to rely on Mira-san for now.

Not only is this situation utterly unbelievable, but the woman who caused it is beyond extraordinary.

“Verna… What do you want?”

Verna, that seemed to be her name.

The woman called Verna smiled wryly, her beauty further accentuated by a certain intensity. It was surprising to see Gothic Lolita fashion in this world, but like Mira-san, her appearance was almost too perfectly crafted.

“It’s simple — I heard that onee-sama had showed up, and I came here because I was curious.”

“Huh?”

Onee-sama… huh.

At this point, it’s already been confirmed… This woman, Verna, is definitely a dragon.

“Human, would you mind not staring at me so rudely?”

“Ugh…”

Her gaze was piercingly sharp.

It was like a hallucination of malice flashing through my mind, the kind that would make you feel like your head could be severed in an instant. But standing next to me was my wife, who would not remain silent while I was subjected to such an illusion.

“Verna, mind your words. He is my husband, the one I vowed to live the future with — if you leave now, I will forgive you.”

“Huh… For you to go that far…”

I couldn’t find any words to say.

Verna-san seemed to be thoroughly intimidated by Mira-san’s words, taking a step or two back but still managing to stand her ground.

“I’m not joking. I’ve decided to live among humans. I’m not abandoning my identity as a dragon, but I’ve chosen this path. Do you understand? Release your powers and leave now.”

“Ugh…!”

Finally, Verna-san succumbed to the pressure on her body. Mira-san wasn’t using magic — just her sheer will and intent. Verna-san fell, sprawled out on the ice she had created, her previously composed face now covered in sweat, looking pained.

“Do you want me to twist that pretty face of yours in agony? Even if it’s a transformation spell, I could traumatize you so badly you’d never want to be human again.”

“You… told me to leave…!”

“…it seems you can’t move in this state.”

Mira-san was fully aware of what she was doing.

“Minato, don’t worry. Everything is frozen, but it’s not a problem. It’s not that anything is trapped in ice; time itself has been stopped.”

“Stopping time… Dragons are truly extraordinary.”

“If it had a harmful effect on humans, Verna would be dead already. Well, I’ve taught her not to trouble humans, and she seems to adhere to that.”

So she has some common sense… But this isn’t about common sense. I need to have her release this frozen time before it causes more issues.

“Minato?”

“Let’s have her release this power for now. If she came to see you, Mira-san, we should escort her inside and talk. She’s your sister, right?”

“…Fufu~, You’re so kind.”

With a flick of Mira-san’s wrist, the pressure on Verna-san vanished.

She glared at me as I approached her, but the previous fear was gone… Even if she tried something, I felt no fear with Mira-san by my side.

“I know humans and dragons perceive things differently, but could you refrain from doing this in the future? If you came to see Mira-san, you can just tell the receptionist… but without revealing you’re a dragon, of course.”

“……”

“The people in our guild… Well, some tried to kill me by throwing me into the abyss, but most are really good people. They’ll help you out next time.”

“Is that a joke? After hearing that, can you still call them good people?”

Well, those were the only really bad ones… Yet, from the middle of our conversation, Verna-san kept staring at me with a puzzled expression, her eyes wide in curiosity.

“I’m a dragon, you know?”

“Yeah, I get it.”

“You’re not afraid? I may look like a human right now, but I’m a dragon… I could destroy this world with a flick of my wrist. Aren’t you scared?”

“Dragons may be scary creatures, but I married one… and Mira-san is by my side.”

“Of course, I’ll always be by your side.”

Mira-san hugged me from behind, wrapping her arms around my stomach. She laid her head on my shoulder and licked my earlobe — tickling me and making me feel strange. I’d like her to stop, but I doubt she would even if I asked.

“Verna-san, your strength as a dragon is commendable. But please, could you unfreeze time?”

“……”

“Oh, I didn’t answer your question earlier. Am I scared? Not really, not after seeing you now. We can talk, right?”

“……”

“Feel free to come and visit Mira-san anytime. Just—”

“Understood.”

With a swift motion, Verna-san released the frozen world, returning everything to normal. People looked at her in surprise, many blushing at her beauty.

“Aren’t you scared… Even though you know I’m a dragon, you are still not reacting. Not many of your kind are so fearless.”

“This… might be bad, Minato,”

Mira-san whispered those words in my ear.

As I was wondering what her words meant, Verna-san turned her back to me and said,

“Why?”

“I’ll leave for today… But I’ll come back to see onee-sama. But… Can I come to see you too?”

“Uh, yeah… sure.”

“…Then, I’ll come again.”

In that instant, Verna-san disappeared. But the next day, she casually returned to the guild.

Needless to say, Mira-san was on high alert, trying to prevent her from coming again.
