Demonic Dragon: Harem System

Chapter 249: Aren't you going to change your clothes?

"Mom... is it really okay for... Daniela to deal with a man like that?" Cassandra asked, watching as Daniela tried to explain something to Strax, but it seemed like it wasn't going as smoothly as it should have.

"Hm?" Scarlet glanced at her daughter, not fully understanding what she meant. But she flashed a contagious smile—well, it was more of a terrifying smile, actually.

When Cassandra saw her mother's smile, her entire body shuddered slightly, prompting Scarlet to let out a soft laugh.

"Pfff... My dear daughter..." she murmured between light, controlled laughs. "Do you think I'd bring someone bad here? Or better yet, do you think I'd put my precious daughters in danger? Strax is a good man... I did my research before bringing him here... Not just because he's my disciple's son," she added, smiling.

"..."

Cassandra and Bela opened their mouths like fish, not knowing what to say. They were too shocked. They had never seen their mother praise a man before. In fact, she usually killed men! A good man? Who the hell is this woman!!!

'Nostalgia is taking over her... is this going to be a problem?' Cassandra wondered. She was the oldest, so she had to protect her younger sisters. But a comment from Bela made her freeze.

"Mom... why do you seem so happy?" Bela asked curiously. Unlike Cassandra, she had never seen such a complete smile on her mother's face before.

"Huh? Happy?" Scarlet asked, placing a hand on her face. "...Maybe... maybe I am," her smile shifted into an incomprehensible, seductive grin. "I have something to do; I'll see you later."

Suddenly, she disappeared, leaving Cassandra and Bela alone in the room.

"...I think she's happy because she found a man with potential...? After all, she likes to fight," Bela mused.

"Is that what you think?" Cassandra asked, looking at her sister.

"Yes," Bela replied. She looked at her sister, "What do you think?"

"I don't know, but she wouldn't have reacted so strongly if that man had just 'great potential.' Even if he's her disciple's son, she wouldn't have cared that much... But... did you feel it?" Cassandra questioned, and Bela nodded in agreement. "He's not a human as he appears to be... he's using transformation magic to hide his horns and scales... He's a Dragon."

"Yes... that terrifying gaze..." Cassandra commented, rubbing her arm with the other. "I felt fear... for the first time... I felt afraid of something other than mom..." Cassandra murmured.

A few minutes later, in the private arena of Scarlet's mansion, although it was called an arena, it resembled more of a... ruin.

Strax stood there, facing Daniela, in a training area isolated far from the mansion. He didn't understand why the first approach was to make him improve his control over Fire and Ice together, but he didn't have the space to question it. He was slightly afraid to speak up to Scarlet, fearing he might end up dead.

The woman is terrifying. But what he didn't expect was Daniela's relaxed approach, who seemed more concerned about having fun than actually helping him master his powers.

"Well, I know you have potential, after all, my mom selected you, but let's see if you can get these two forces to merge without blowing everything up," Daniela said, a silly smile on her face. She was standing in front of him, wearing a towel, casually playing with her red hair in a somewhat clumsy attempt to focus.

'Damn... this is going to be even harder like this!' Strax observed, but something else caught his attention.

Daniela, apparently oblivious to the situation, was only wearing a bath towel, which clung somewhat... revealingly. She hardly noticed it, though. Her attention was fully focused on the training, and her relaxed posture only made the situation even more uncomfortable for Strax, who desperately tried to keep his eyes on what mattered: the training, and not the curvaceous, provocative body of the girl in front of him, which seemed to scream to be touched in some way.

"Okay, so... what do I do now?" Strax asked, his voice a bit more nervous than he would like to admit.

"First, take a deep breath. And focus on both elements. Fire will react to your emotional state, and ice will react to your patience," Daniela explained, already getting closer to him, unaware of how close she was. "Try to create a balance between the two... don't let one dominate the other."

Strax nodded, but his mind was far from what she was saying. He was trying to block out the constant distraction of her movements, adjusting her towel, which with each shift seemed to get closer to falling off.

"Daniela... aren't you going to change clothes?" Strax finally decided to ask directly.

"Change clothes?" Daniela looked at him, a confused smile on her lips. "Oh, no, I'm fine like this. It's hot anyway." She shrugged nonchalantly, completely unaware of her state. "Let's focus on the fire and ice now!"

Strax stared at her, his eyes slightly darting to what he desperately tried not to observe, but it was useless. When he realized she was completely oblivious, the only thing he could do was sigh deeply. Your next read is at mvl

"I... I don't... I don't think this is 'okay,' Daniela," he muttered, feeling secondhand embarrassment starting to take over him.

Then, in a flash, Daniela looked down, and her eyes widened as if she finally realized the situation.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, eyes widening. "I forgot! I was so excited about the training, I didn't even notice..."

In a quick movement, Daniela turned and ran toward the mansion, her towel awkwardly floating as she ran, trying to cover herself. Strax watched her disappear toward the mansion entrance, and for a moment, he was left alone, a sense of discomfort washing over him.

"I... I can't believe it..." Strax murmured to himself. "What do you think of this?"

He turned to the air, as if speaking to someone invisible. Since he'd been kidnapped, he hadn't had any time to talk to them... In fact, he had so many things on his mind, like: WHERE ARE HIS WIVES?

But at least, there were still some things here... as if answering his call, three tiny figures began to appear around him. Ouroboros, Tiamat, and Kallamos, his spiritual dragons, in their miniature forms, appeared floating around him, their wings buzzing softly.

"I'm so glad you're back... I thought you had forgotten about me..." Tiamat, the golden dragon, murmured, pouting in a childish manner. She was small, with golden scales that shimmered in the sunlight, but her presence was still imposing, even in her miniature form.

"You're lucky I don't have a physical body, or you'd be beaten to death. UGHRT!! I hate seeing you with more beautiful women!!!" Ouroboros shouted at his own existence upon witnessing the scene.

Strax smiled, relieved to have their company, even in their reduced sizes. "I didn't do anything, Ouroboros. I was just... distracted."

"Don't do that again, Strax!" Kallamos, the dragon, said with a low, calm voice, though it still had an edge to it. His appearance was strange, like he was made of pure earth and crystals, very exotic. "We saw everything. Including the towel... Hm... it was very close to falling off, wasn't it?" He nervously asked.

"Is she... jealous?" Strax asked the other two dragons. "WE ARE!" the three dragons said together.

"It looks like your mind was as focused on the training as it was on not looking at the... spectacle in front of you. We couldn't help but notice your discomfort," a seductive voice floated through the air until a small 'fairy' appeared, fluttering her wings like a butterfly and sitting on Strax's shoulder. "Hello," Lithara said.

Strax looked at the three miniature dragons and the "Succubus Fairy," trying to recover from the avalanche of embarrassment. "I didn't ask for this, okay? I'm not the one who makes the rules."

Ouroboros flew closer, circling Strax with a mischievous smile. "Of course, you don't make the rules, but when there's a stunning woman running in front of you, it's hard to concentrate, right?"

"You three are insufferable," Strax muttered, rubbing his face with one hand.

"Don't worry, you're lucky," Tiamat said calmly. "You're lucky we don't have bodies to beat you into remembering you have wives who care about you! And not some random vampire with a succubus body!"

"Hey! I'm a succubus!" Lithara shouted, and the three dragons turned to look at her. "And that's why no one wants someone like you around!" they all said in unison, and Lithara pouted, turning her face away. "Hmph! Just know you'll never have a body as hot as mine! Let alone a wet and sticky pussy ready to make you lose your mind!" She declared.

"I'll kill her, or do you want to?" Kallamos said first. "Let me handle this," Ouroboros said, preparing to attack.

"Enough..." Strax said, flicking Lithara's forehead, sending her flying off.

"AIII!! THAT HURT!!!" She screamed, while the dragons began to laugh.

"HAHAHAHA!" Ouroboros laughed loudly enough to make Lithara cover her ears to protect herself.

"Three against one is unfair!!" She roared, but Strax smiled and said, "You were dominated, blame yourself, succubus."
