Semi Datte Tensei Sureba Ryuu Ni Naru Chapter 3.1

The one inexhaustible desire of all living beings, let alone, it was all the more for living beings with intelligence.

It was something I wanted more than being filled. It was the sin of all living beings, their fate.

The act of living was like the rain falling in a desert.

The water mercilessly disappeared in the earth and it didn’t know how to remain.
The sand extended endlessly in the world and it didn’t know the end.

Against the desire that couldn’t be stopped, I earnestly continued to struggle, wasn’t this what it meant to live?

Nevertheless, even if it was the whim of the moment, the rain appeased the hot sand from the fierce sunshine.

The water entered the underground, it gathered and became a flow and soon it would gush forth and become an oasis.

When continuing to seek the desire as it is, it can be found at the end of the travel.

After all, it might be called happiness.

It might be a little difficult example, but how else would you say it?

Because my stomach was full, I want to mate.

I quenched my thirst with the pleasant early morning sap.

n.o.bles in Edinburgh were said to wake up with a cup of tea to drink on bed; I woke up in a hollow of the world tree and enjoy the best fresh sap in the morning.

Morning sap was special.

The thing called tree sucked a large amount of water and nutrients from the earth during the night and the sap during the day and night had had the nutrients already drawn out.

Nevertheless I could fill my stomach and drink without limit.

Besides this was the sap from the taiki Yggdrasil. The taste couldn’t be described with words.

The taste of her sap, the information could by no means be expressed with the intermediary such as words.

In my mind which was satisfied with the morning sap, the voice of Yggdrasil resounded.

“ . . fu, haa . . . ha. . . . Good morning, did you sleep well last night?”

Her voice that resounded in my mind, was soft like the sunshine filtered through the foliage of a forest, it was gentle.

Because there was no need to converse with words, the nature of the heart had the same nature as Yggdrasil’s voice.

“Good morning, Yggdrasil. Thanks to you I was able to sleep very well.”

Yggdrasil became my temporary nest.

Yesterday I fully enjoyed the sap and I decided to take residence in the vicinity of Yggdrasil. The nest where the preceding dragon lived was slightly far from the taiki.

Besides, this was mere sentiment, but I wanted the place where I was born to be the grave where the remains of the preceding dragon slept.

The soul of the preceding dragon no longer existed in that place anymore, because I who had died once understood it well.

And a grave wasn’t where the soul slept. Only the remains slept.
Those were the only proofs left that he had lived.

None the less everyone made graves. It probably wasn’t for the dead, but for those people who are alive.

I decided to make his grave at that place. It wasn’t for him, but for me.

When I told Yggdrasil the idea of taking residence in the vicinity,

“Oh? Then we’ll become neighbors. . . . Yes, how about living in my place until you have found a good place?”

She said so and invited me into one of her hollows.

Hollows existed in the world tree. They were much bigger than the body of a dragon and were full of a mysterious tranquility.

At the first glance I had liked this place.

It had the condensation of a firm forest, yet had a faintly sweet fragrance and it filled the whole s.p.a.ce, the thick laid bark formed a natural and tender bed.

Such a place didn’t exist anywhere else on this world, I under the condition [Until I found my own nest], decided to accepted her goodwill.

“Then, my best regards for this short period of time. Roommate-san.”

[Roommate-san] Yggdrasil called the nameless me so.

The first time sleeping in the hollow of the world tree, I was so happy like slowly sinking to the bottom of a spring, I was also happy because I had never experienced sleep in my previous life.

If I slept too deep, would I ever awaken again?
Then I got the delusion that even if I died like this, I wouldn’t regret it one bit.

I had no way to know this in my previous life since I was oviparous, the feeling like a baby sleeping with the placenta of its mother, wasn’t it like that?

Thus, even if it was temporary, I was unexpectedly able to obtain the best food and home in this world.

Well, when living in tranquility what did a creature seek next?

Food was sufficient, a home to settle down, I felt l.u.s.t.

So, it was mating.

I was time to clear my regret from my previous life now.

I told Yggdrasil that I would go look for a mate now and that I would return before the sun set.

After being a little speechless at my words.

“Fufufu, I hope you find a wonderful bride. Have a nice day.”

I was seen off with words still filled with the affection of a mother.
