37. Teacher Bud
“Teacher… Bud…”
Feeling a warm power gradually flowing from her arm, Elena widened her eyes in a daze. Her tired body was revitalized in that instant, full of life.
“Bud…”
Her voice was hoarse, her body’s damage not yet fully repaired. The mental damage caused by her mangled body was still constantly echoing in her mind.
She saw Teacher Bud’s face with her vacant eyes, and for a moment, she remembered what had just happened.
Just as she was giving her speech, some orcs had suddenly appeared from the side. A meteor hammer, bigger than half her body, had smashed her, and her guards, in front of those people, were like paper. Suddenly, her head felt as if it had been hit by something heavy, and in front of everyone, she had fallen into a pool of blood and then lost consciousness.
She must have died.
From the moment she set out, she had thought that this day would come, but she hadn’t expected it to come so soon.
Since she was already prepared, why was it so cold?
Yes, she was just a pitiful creature. In the end, she would still feel pain and sadness, she would be reluctant to leave everything she had now, she would try her best to avoid her own death, she was afraid of death, and even afraid of her own fear of death.
But…
She had survived?
When she regained consciousness, she saw Teacher Bud. Although she disliked the filth and decisiveness of the God Slaying Society, and was determined to overthrow the President of the God Slaying Society, who was the Dragon King and Dragon Queen, she still liked that dragon.
Including their first and second meetings, she had always greeted her with enthusiasm. Her child, just like in the book, had a pair of gentle and mischievous eyes. It seemed that they had a happy family.
But that warm environment was something she couldn’t have right now.
So envious.
Very envious…
To change this world, she shouldn’t think…
“Teacher Bud…”
“She’s been healed, for now.”
Reina said, looking at her. It seemed the young woman had regained some of her consciousness.
It was the same old trick, a skill probably designed with Calysia’s abilities.
What kind of person Elena would become in the future depended on herself.
If she developed even a little bit of dependence on us, the ending would be like Isabella’s.
And for the sake of the world’s peace, this was a necessary action for Reina at the moment.
She quickly lost consciousness again.
“Haa…” Pesa sighed. She was relieved that Elena had survived. This was the God of Light, peaceful, gentle, but she still couldn’t understand why the goddess would save her enemy.
Isn’t she our enemy?
“I just wanted to give her a chance. At least I can use her.”
“I see…”
Pesa nodded, as if she understood, but she didn’t fully understand.
“Because Reina likes dragon babies.”
Calysia said bluntly.
“Where, this is all for world peace!”
“I thought you were always trying to get me pregnant.” Calysia shrugged and smiled.
“Dummy, when did I ever say that!”
Reina gave Pesa her next mission and then left with Calysia.
Simply put, she now needed to protect Elena.
Secretly monitoring, protecting her life, like a bodyguard. If it weren’t for the dragon race’s superhuman strength, she could have completed the mission. This time, she was even more confident.
I must make a good impression on the Goddess!
The next day, Elena woke up from her bed, rubbing her blurry eyes.
“Ahem…”
Suddenly, those terrifying memories flooded her mind, making her shiver uncontrollably.
However,
Her body was not injured. Even though she had seen that scene, her body being torn apart like a pathetic leaf, and the reason she had survived until now was entirely due to luck…?
No.
It was Teacher Bud who had saved her.
Not long ago, in the dark and cold yesterday, she had personally found her.
Why, as a dragon, did Teacher Bud save me? Could it be that she was also secretly protecting me? But there was no reason to find me… No, where am I now?
The surroundings were dim, the air filled with a corrupt, damp smell, and her stomach was a little hungry.
Then, she fell into a deep contemplation.
Suddenly, the candlelight by the bed was lit.
“You’re awake?”
It was a delicate and petite girl. Although she was a little flustered for a moment, Elena still recognized her.
“Pesa? Ah, you scared me. I thought there was a ghost beside me.”
“You’re almost the leader of humanity, and you’re still afraid of ghosts.”
“Isn’t it because I’m always on guard against something… Did you save me?” For a moment, Elena felt a dull ache in her right side.
“No, it was Bud who saved you.”
“As expected, it wasn’t an illusion.”
Elena sighed. It seemed that the person who had held her wrist was not a figment of her imagination. Teacher Bud was really watching over her in secret.
How strange. Why am I happy because a dragon is concerned about me?
I clearly only like her ideas, respect her as a dragon mother, and hope she will be happy.
“I’m here to protect you. I’m sorry, I, like everyone else, didn’t notice the attacking enemy.”
“Bud, wasn’t she here before?”
“Why don’t you ask where the other guardians went?” Pesa chuckled wryly. This person’s mind was full of Bud, and there was a stack of glowing clocks on the bedside table. She should have been able to tell the time.
“Mmph, I’m sorry,” Elena blushed.
“No need to apologize. Actually, all the guards were killed. The orcs were trying to kill you, which is why they attacked. Now, we don’t have time. Let’s go back to the human world first.”
Pesa threw the tidied clothes… clothes that Reina had left unused, on her bed, and took out a teleportation scroll.
Changing into a somewhat demonic blue dress, like a blue lily, and a pleated skirt, Elena stammered a little.
“This… are these clothes yours?”
“No.”
“Also Teacher Bud’s?” As expected, these clothes were not suitable for the petite Pesa.
“Yes.”
Pesa had originally intended to hide his identity a little more, according to Reina’s wishes, but she didn’t expect Elena to get to the bottom of it. As long as the truth didn’t come out, she would definitely not give up.
So she had no reason to lie.
As the magic circuit of the teleportation scroll gradually expanded to every corner of the room, Elena continued to ask:
“Then what about the teleportation scroll? I remember that humans don’t have this kind of high-level magic item. Where did you get it?”
“This was also given to us by Teacher Bud.”
Pesa sighed, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
