So I'm a Snake, Who Cares?

The triplets seemed quite upset about that.

Pipi would pounce on me whenever she got the chance.

"Peek!"

She jumps up suddenly and opens her mouth to bite me.

However.

I'm not one to fall for an ambush from a mere Little Black Wyvern lv3.

After dodging slightly, I swung my tail.

Slap!

Pipi, who got hit on the cheek, let out a piercing scream.

"Peeeeek! Peek!"

Someone might think I had bitten her.

Her overreaction is almost Shiba dog level.

That's when Kei, who had been relatively well-behaved, pounced.

"Chiit!"

He wasn't aiming for me.

He lunged at Isil who was clinging to my back.

But Isil had also completed one evolution and.

Was born with a much greater silver spoon than wyverns, being from the World Tree lineage.

Snap.

Isil extended its vines and grabbed Kei's neck.

His wings and legs were bound by vines and.

Crack.

Like some kind of jiu-jitsu, it applied a joint lock.

"Chieeeek!"

Another exaggerated scream rang out.

It wasn't because I enjoyed fighting with the kids.

You have to establish the hierarchy regularly like this.

For reference, our hierarchy is me, Isil, then the triplets.

The wyvern mom who had been watching quietly cried out as if saying that's enough.

"Kuoooo!"

Ah, it would have been nice if our Mother Medusa had been this warm-hearted too.

She took care of her babies and me with utmost devotion.

'I should leave soon.'

But I can't stay here forever.

Where there are meetings there must be partings.

Wasn't I coming to this mountain range to find Pelerian's dungeon in Delfram?

"It's fine. It doesn't seem like we've lost much time."

Looking from atop the high blade pillar.

This nest was further north than where I was captured.

In other words, it means we've actually gotten closer to Delfram.

"Just a bit further north and we'll reach Delfram."

We just need an opportunity.

First, we just need the wyvern mom to leave her post.

"Kukuku."

A monster of that size can't live without eating.

Besides, she must need to eat something to produce nutritional porridge, right?

I expected there would come a time for hunting.

And that moment actually came.

Lick.

The wyvern mom licked us all and then flapped her wings to take off.

'Thank you for everything.'

Even with my cold snake heart.

When a wyvern treats you this well, it feels strange.

Even more so watching Celeta fly away with a whoosh.

"What are you doing, we need to move quickly!"

Right, I can't keep living as a wyvern baby forever.

I said goodbye to the wyvern triplets.

'Goodbye, kids.'

The three naturally couldn't understand my words and just stared blankly.

But when I left the nest and tried to go down.

"Peeeee!"

"Keeee!"

They came running desperately to catch me, as if saying 'Dangerous!'

It was unexpected - I thought they'd be happy when I left.

Of course, I wasn't going to just jump down.

With help from Isil who was attached to my body, I slowly climbed down the stone pillar.

Anyway.

The baby wyverns seemed very worried about me leaving the nest.

"Peeee! Pee!"

Geez.

They keep making noise.

This is quite a big problem.

The wyvern mom's subordinate wyverns live around here.

What if they hear this noise and come flying?

"That's why I said we should deal with the babies before leaving!"

'You trash fairy.'

"No, if we just knocked them out..."

I need to escape quickly.

Sure enough.

By the time I reached ground level, other wyverns had started spreading their wings while looking around.

All because the triplets were peeping too much.

'There's nowhere to hide!'

It's not easy to dig into the ground and hide either.

The ground, hardened with white guano, could only be dug by termites.

As I tried to hide in some shade.

"Kugagaga."

"Guguk!"

The adult wyverns that had taken flight made strange cries.

I thought they were naturally trying to find me, but it doesn't seem so.

They were crying toward the cloudy sky.

'...What's that.'

As I stared at the sky,

Soon wyverns I'd never seen before appeared through the clouds.

They were all white-colored wyverns.

"Wyverns of a different color. Another group is attacking? This is lucky for you."

Since all the wyverns here are black, it must be another group attacking.

The adult wyverns responded to the surprise attack.

"Kugagagak!"

The black ones and white ones tangled in combat in the air.

It was a spectacular sight watching these huge flying monsters fight.

In this chaos, the disappearance of one white snake wouldn't even be noticed.

They seem to have attacked precisely when they knew this side's leader, the wyvern mom, was gone.

I was a bit worried about the triplets, but.

'They'll be fine, right?'

I tried to think that as I was about to leave.

That's when I saw a dark shadow moving inside the clouds.

What's that.

Is that a wyvern too?

Judging by the shadow's size, it must be enormously huge.

Just as I had that thought.

A beam shot out from inside the clouds.

It extended precisely toward the nest where I had been just moments ago.

Boom!

Rock fragments explode with a thunderous sound.

This is a 'Destruction Beam'.

A huge wyvern that can use Destruction Beam, like the wyvern mom or our dad, is hiding in those clouds.

And.

"Peeeeeek!"

The babies screamed as they fell.

'Damn it!'

"Shit!"

Me out of disbelief, Pelerian probably out of frustration.

We cursed at the same time.

Even in the midst of this, I moved.

Avoiding the rock fragments falling where I had been.

And using Heart-eating Leap, I jump onto a rock outcropping in the middle of the stone pillar.

Then leap, and leap again.

When I reached the middle, I spotted Pipi falling.

I grabbed her using Invisible Hand.

'Oof!'

It wasn't enough to stop the fall of her now quite large body.

After wrapping her with my tail, I barely caught her by firmly biting into the stone pillar.

"Keee!"

Next to that, the second child Kei was falling.

'Isil!'

Isil handled that one.

Meaning it firmly grabbed him with its vines.

Crunch!

Naturally, I had to bear that weight.

My teeth nearly broke.

I probably can't save the youngest too.

But I don't hear the youngest Chui crying.

Surely not already...

"Chuiiii!"

When I heard that sound and barely turned my gaze.

'Baby!'

The youngest was gliding while flapping its wings desperately.

It was basically falling, but the speed wasn't fast so it seemed it would be okay.

"Kid, the sky!"

However, a white wyvern was descending from that sky.

Precisely to snatch up the youngest Chui.

Snap.
