Chapter 7: Ultimately, hikikomori is the strongest!

I have made it.

I am now cowering inside my home while upside down.

During that time, after the flying dragon's breath had subsided, I was lucky enough to score hole-in-one to my home.

Honestly, I thought I was going to die.

Like dead for real.

My body is ragged.

Full of scratches and cuts, some part of my body has scales peeling off from it.

Ah, the blood is out.

My blood is kinda dark, isn't it?

This is the first time I see this. It’s just what you expected coming from a dragon.

It hurts. It really hurts.

It's been awhile since I felt pain.

I've never been in any fight before in my past life, so I had forgotten how it feels like.

Aah, it's throbbing pain.

When the flying dragon released its breath, I manage to avoid from direct hit.

To be honest, it was a close one.

The attack was perhaps too far, I guess.

From afar, it looks just like a growing mushroom cloud.

The after effect of the flying dragon's magic breath is really strong.

The flying dragon probably thought I was caught in the explosion.

Thank goodness it was far.

I will definitely be dead if I got hit.

The bomb's mushroom cloud is something I've only seen on TV before.

Also, the entrance of the hole collapse due to the shock of the breath attack. The room is in ruin.

My entire home crumbled, but at least I'm okay.

It's how life is.

At least, I made it out alive.

Fortunately, it’s thanks to my crumbling home that fool the eyes of the flying dragon.

I couldn't see outside but the explosion continues for two and three times after that.

The dragon probably releases its breath without stopping.

It's scary to be hunt like this.

It got quiet after a while but I don't feel like going out yet.

I'm scared.

Are you an idiot to go outside while that thing is still out there?

I'm sorry.

Actually, I'm the idiot one here. It's true.

Clearly, the flying dragon came here because it was surprised by my breath.

It's very alarming, isn't it?

If there's an explosion nearby, certainly you'll be surprised and curious to see who did it.

Sorry.

Please let me explain.

I had no choice.

It was fun shooting breath!

I just can't help myself.

When I was a kid, I can't shoot Kame ○ ha.

But then, I can do it using my mouth.

That's why I became excited about it.

Un, let's be careful after this.

Also, I'm scared of outside.

Let's live peacefully underground for a while.

At least, until I've grown big enough.

Besides, originally I'm a weak person. A pampering salaryman.

That part of me still hasn't changed even after I reincarnated into a dragon.

I'm just a mere citizen.

To begin with, it's a mistake to survive by the law of the jungle.

Growing up sheltered, I'm weak when faced with adversity.

Furthermore, it's only been two days since I was born into this world.

A baby is still a baby.

But I was walking normally though.

Anyway, I should rest for my growth.

Exploration and others will be paused for now.

It's a stop when it's paused.

So, let's stay underground.

Also, I don't think there will be any foreign enemy underground.

I've made up my mind.

When you think carefully about it, my food is rock and soil.

I don't have any problem with food and no one can yell at me if I sleep the entire day.

That's because I'm a dragon.

I'm a lonely dead wood from the start.

So, I'm used to being alone.

I'm not particularly sad about it, you know?

While leisurely eating the soil, indulge in laziness, I'll live my life underground as a good-for-nothing hikikomori.

Eh?

Living like that doesn't sound too bad, isn't it?

My dream during my days as a corporate slave in the previous life before has now come true.

Uhhoho, yes!

With that being said, let's have a meal.

The best way to cure the wound is to eat after all.

Eat and sleep. This is the best.

I bit one of the rocks nearby.

Crunch Crunch Crunch

So delicious.

Ah, this is the red stone I ate yesterday.

This is the most delicious thing I ever had.

The layer seems to goes on even after I dig for a while now. Should I focus expanding this part?

Now then, how about I extend my home.

While eating the stone, I was thinking what kind of house should I make from now on.

By the way, my body completely healed after three days.

I molted five times during the same period.

The dragon's body is really wonderful.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Finally, the protagonist dungeon making begins.

Well, it's a basic stuff, so don't expect a lot from it.
