So I'm a Snake, Who Cares

The wyvern mom thrust her snout forward and made motions of slashing with her claws.

That's when I realized what she was trying to do.

"Seems she's trying to teach hunting methods."

Really, what a proper mom.

It was a bit burdensome how she kept trying to mother me even though she's not my real mom.

"Kugagak!"

The wyvern mom stopped the fear and pushed the Mosquito Rat toward the triplets.

How did the triplets react?

"Chueeeek!"

Chui and Kei rolled backward by themselves.

Though the Mosquito Rat was just sniffing with its snout, they screamed as if they'd been bitten.

Sigh, how will they survive in this harsh magical realm being such cowards?

It reminded me of the centipede triplets who were much smaller but fearlessly brave.

However, had I been disappointed in the wyvern triplets too early?

There was a brave one among them.

The most spirited eldest, Pipi, was standing proudly.

Pipi stopped in front of the Giant Mosquito Rat.

And a staring contest began between the two.

Though Pipi was bigger, no emotion could be read in the Giant Mosquito Rat's eyes.

Pipi broke the long silence.

She opened her mouth wide and roared.

"Peeeeee!"

I thought it would be like a war cry announcing the start of battle.

But the fierce battle I expected didn't occur.

"Peeeeee!"

"Squeak squeak."

"Peeeeeee!"

"Squeak, squeak."

Pipi just kept her mouth wide open, and the Mosquito Rat just squeaked as if confused.

"Ah, that's it."

'What do you understand?'

"She thinks food will go into her mouth if she just keeps it open."

'Ah...!'

How can there be such a bird-brained idea from something that's not even a bird?

Should I think it's because she's a baby...

"Kueo..."

The one who sighed deeply enough to sink the ground was none other than the wyvern mom.

She looked worried about how her children would survive in this harsh world.

The wyvern mom turned to look at me.

Was she hoping I would do something?

"Are you just going to stay still?"

'Yes.'

I was planning to stay quietly without drawing attention and then leave.

But then I saw a shocking sight.

An amazing thing happened.

Tears welled up in the wyvern mom's eyes.

'Why, why is she like that...'

Thinking about it, I could understand.

They say even a porcupine thinks its babies are soft.

Even a fearsome wyvern queen cherishes her children.

But just recently, she lost her original nest due to another group's attack.

In a situation where she doesn't know when she might die, she would want her babies to be proper monsters.

But me, who she considers her youngest child, am small and wingless...

'Oh whatever.'

I should at least lighten her heart.

Ah, should I show a bit of my 'true sincerity'.

「Using Heart-eating Leap lv4.」

Tang!

Getting rebound by striking the ground with my tail.

Using that to precisely control direction, bite through the enemy as I pass.

That's the principle of Heart-eating Leap.

A bright red chunk of meat was suddenly in my mouth and.

"Jieek!"

The Giant Mosquito Rat collapsed with a scream.

"Pipipipi!"

"Chuiii!"

The triplets cried as if in chorus seeing that.

They tried to imitate me by tearing at and eating the fallen Giant Mosquito Rat.

Gulp.

I swallowed the meat in my mouth.

I wonder if this somewhat repays the value of the nutritional porridge.

When I looked back at the wyvern mom, she was spreading her wings wide and howling toward the sky.

"Kurararararak!"

Then she came toward me while swaying as if dancing.

She stroked me all over with her soft wing membrane.

It was unmistakably the wyvern mom's way of praising.

"Saah!"

Flick flick!

Isil seems a bit happy too.

I felt better too.

"Are you that happy getting praised by a wyvern."

I seem to be weak to praise.

Maybe living like this wouldn't be so bad...

Perhaps because the food hunting education was somewhat successful.

The wyvern mom in good spirits started a bold challenge.

"Kakkak, kugakkak!"

She speaks as if giving a speech.

Flapping her wings while making kakkak sounds, somehow I feel like I can understand what the wyvern mom is saying.

I can't bring you food forever.

Someday you'll have to hunt for yourselves. And the time given might not be long.

A kind yet still young mother's voice would be appropriate for dubbing.

Chugota would suit a scary witch's voice.

But the problem was that the wyvern mom didn't stop there and pointed under the nest with her tail.

"Kuak." (Jump)

She clearly wants us to jump.

This is difficult even for me.

The wyvern triplets were scared too.

"Pi, piii..."

"Kuaaak!"

Her attitude was that she would push us if we didn't jump.

Then bravely, the hesitating Pipi leaped from the nest.

"Saaah!"

When I looked down in surprise, Pipi was falling while spinning in mid-air. Read exclusive content at m_v-l'-.net

It's dizzying - she might splat like a ripe persimmon when she hits the ground.

"Piek!"

Fortunately, Pipi successfully managed to flap her wings while roaring bravely.

Her falling speed rapidly decreased, and she even glided on the wind.

The wyvern mom suddenly pushed Kei, who was blankly watching.

"Keeeee!"

Such a fierce education method suddenly!

After Kei would be Chui.

And next would surely be me.

I tried to find a way to escape before my turn came.

I didn't expect the most timid Chui to jump down by herself.

"Chuu!"

Whether she wanted to save the second child Kei.

Or whether she envied the eldest Pipi who was already flying quite well.

Chui was already falling down there.

Which means, the wyvern mom pushing me was faster than expected.

Bang!

No, but she knows I don't have wings!

Don't tell me she doesn't care if her wingless child dies.

I fell feeling betrayed.

If I keep my wits about me, I might survive falling from a cliff.

'Isil!'

Help me Isilmon.

I thought Isil would extend its vines long and grab the cliff.

But it seems to have misunderstood something watching the wyvern triplets.

Flap flap.

It's enthusiastically flapping those leaves thinking they're wings.

Naturally, leaves only as big as baby palms couldn't fly.

I fell fiercely.
