My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 617 - Ruby Is The Best Dragon Girl

-----

Ruby seemed a bit bored of just staying in the shop.

"Well, we sell stuff here so we'll wait until a new customer comes… the shop has some sort of charisma enhancement, so it shouldn't be hard for customers to come at some point." Said Frank.

"Oh, I see… But I want to explore and fight big monster…" said Ruby.

"Well, you've always been a girl eager to explore and fight big monsters…" said Frank.

Recalling Ruby in the past, since she was born as a little fire salamander that she had always wanted to fight new enemies, and had accompanied Frank on his journey since then.

It could be said she was his first ever companion! However, as found more and more people at his side that could fight, Ruby ended being pushed back.

This was… something Frank had already realized, and he couldn't help but feel a bit bad over it, even though Ruby had helped in various of the big fights, the latest being against the Onis where she burned many of the invaders but made sure not to kill them…

But aside from that, he hasn't spent much time with her and the other pets.

He really wanted to make up for it and spend more time with them in this world, now that he would come here frequently, the time in Earth would usually go very slowly, so he could remain here and spent some leisure time with his pets… although he couldn't really consider them pets anymore when they had their own complex thoughts.

Even though, Ruby was the most intelligent of them all as she was the one that had evolved the most, she could even take into a humanoid form and speak! That was indeed something quite unique.

Her long red hair, orange and red scales around her arms and legs, black horns growing from her head, and fiery orange eyes with clear reptile-like pupils were quite pretty. She even had a long scaled tail behind her back, that was waving around.

She usually woe a long white dress because she didn't liked to wear anything too elaborate as clothes, or she would burn them, and Frank didn't wanted her to go walking around naked…

"How about we go explore after a few hours of selling stuff?" asked Frank.

Ruby smiled as she showed her sharp fangs.

"Okay!" she said.

She suddenly cuddled over his legs and hugged his belly, rubbing her face over his chest.

Frank realized that Ruby was happy to be given attention after so long, and she was showing it in this sort of affection.

He remembered how she used to sneak inside his bed and warm him with her little body, when she was smaller, that's it.

"You're clingy today, aren't you…? Did you ate enough in breakfast?" asked Frank.

Ruby nodded adorably.

"Yeah, I ate lots of meat… So I don't get hungry fast." She said.

"I see, good girl." Said Frank, petting her silky red hair.

"Papa…" said Ruby.

"Yes?" asked Frank.

"I am glad we are together here… I missed this…" she said cutely.

Frank felt like his heart was melting…

"I-I am also happy… S-Sorry for being so busy with everyone else… I didn't had the time to dedicate it to you but… I guess that's not really justifiable." Sighed Frank. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

"It's fine, I understand." Said Ruby.

"You've grown a lot since those times, haven't you?" asked Frank.

"I did?" asked Ruby.

"O-Of course, your dragon form is enormous! Don't you remember when you were this little?" asked Frank, showing her a picture on his phone of Ruby napping over the bed he had in Terra when he was living with everyone back then.

"Ohh… Small me?" asked Ruby.

"Yeah that one- Eh?!"

POOF!

Ruby suddenly used the Skill Polymorph and Body Size Alteration, and changed her appearance and body size. She still looked like her giant form, but in a small size, slightly resembling her infant phase.

"How's this? Small me is still here!" she said while waving her tail cutely.

The adorable little dragon girl had turned into a literal little dragon!

"S-So cute… You're so cute, Ruby! You're such a good girl! You're the best girl!" said Frank, petting her slim red scales, she was very warm too.

"Hehehe… Ruby is best girl? Papa loves?" she asked.

"Of course I do!" said Frank, he was moved by how cute she was.

He couldn't help but hate his past self for forgetting so much about her! Ruby was really his precious little daughter too!

Ruby crawled over Frank's left shoulder and began to lick his cheek cutely, he remembered she always liked to do this in the past, her little warm tongue gave Frank a few tickles as he petted Ruby.

"Papa salty…" she said, the skin of humans was often salty, this is why animals often liked to lick it.

"Haha, stop that…!" laughed Frank.

As Frank played with Ruby, the door opened and the two looked at the customer.

It was a young blonde boy with beautiful aquamarine eyes, he seemed to be very worried, his face was clearly showing a lot of concern.

And he was carrying something with him, a wounded little black goat, it had two horns, but one of them was broken down and bleeding, the rest of its body was badly damaged, and the creature seemed to be breathing hastily, in serious pain.

He rushed while crying inside. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"P-Please, help me! M-My Blackie… He needs help! I-I'll pay anything!" he cried.

The boy suddenly put a bag of coins over the table, as Frank and Ruby looked at the scene with eyes wide open.

Frank quickly acted as the power within the Monster Pet Nursery gave him certain medical knowledge about monster pets, he quickly detected various things within the goat, but decided to ask first.

"What happened to it?" he asked.

"M-my siblings… they beat him up with their monster pets… My little Blackie is always bullied… Sniff… I don't want him to die… He has been… sniff… always with me!" cried the boy.

"Your siblings… do such a thing to your monster pet?! …Very well, leave it to me!" said Frank.
