Chapter 135
“What a bunch of pathetic humans gathering here.”
Dragons were objects of worship. They were also the source of fear for all creatures and the beings closest to the gods.
The gold dragon, Felici, smiled as she looked down at the human city.
After all, there was a tower in that city that suited her perfectly.
“That tower would be perfect as my home.”
Surely, the humans would cheer.
The more she reached this place, the more she was convinced.
The world had been destroyed.
Monsters swarmed, and the land had become barren.
If a great dragon like her descended, they would gladly give up that tower and worship her.
“Well then…”
With a more magnificent appearance.
-Thud!
“GRAAAAH!”
Felici landed atop the Magic Tower in the glorious form of a dragon.
As she let out a loud roar, she could see the humans below in the city panicking.
“I am the Great Being, the Dragon! I have come down personally to soothe you!”
Truth be told, she had just woken up from a nap.
She had simply flown here upon sensing something, but…
“Praise me!”
As she shouted into the city, someone was climbing up from the Magic Tower beneath her.
A woman with striking red hair and a flamboyant outfit.
“Oh, are you the leader of the humans?”
Felici smiled slightly.
If she promised wealth and power through magic, humans would surely sacrifice their innards happily.
That’s just how humans were.
But this woman was strangely different.
Instead of tension, she seemed wrapped in anger and irritation.
“Hmm? Wait a minute.”
When she realized that the scent was oddly familiar, it was too late.
“You stupid lizard!”
“Wha—”
This was a rarity, a dragon recognized as a queen.
The Dragon Queen Felici hurriedly slapped Felici’s cheek.

(A woman in a white shirt hanging from her knees, raising both hands in surrender)
I didn’t think there was already a master of the world.
Moreover, I definitely didn’t expect to be beneath Fel, or rather, Dragon Dragon X…
I won’t mess around again…
I’ve prepared a little gift, so please forgive me…

– Koitzuww Did you think this was a place to collect protection fees? ww
– A mystical property cute girl doug-e-zawww
– Wow, gender.
– So you didn’t recognize the Head of the Gallery and ended up crying, begging for forgiveness?
“Who the hell are you?”
But then suddenly, a dragon appeared…
This wasn’t some meme, it was real.
And before she could react, she got slapped by Felici and came begging for forgiveness.
[Dragon Dragon X has delivered the ‘Fate Leaf’!]
Dragon Dragon X: Um… So, you?
Dragon Dragon X: I hope you don’t misunderstand.
Dragon Dragon X: The young dragon didn’t notice your presence and interrupted your fun.
Dragon Dragon X: I have even sent a gift as a token of my apology, so could you forgive me?
She even received a gift.
“Fate Leaf? What a grand name.”
It was a name that didn’t give her any hint about what it was.
At times like this, she needed to rely on the power of the system.
—
[Fate Leaf]
A leaf made from mana by a gold dragon.
It can help by burning it for its ash scent or brewing it as tea.
It assists with mana recovery.
The name was directly named by the gold dragon herself.
“Sounds like a mere gimmick.”
Since the moment she first appeared, the way she spoke felt like a cringe middle schooler.
But perhaps because she was too busy looking at this, did they think she was angry?

[Malang has requested a Barter Exchange!]
Now, she skillfully contacted me through the Barter Exchange, which had transformed into a friendly space for the Head of the Gallery.
“Did Felici tell you?”
Curious about what she might say, she accepted the chat.
Malang: Uh, hi there.
Head of the Gallery*: Howdy.
Malang: Um… I didn’t mean to interrupt your fun… I thought no one was around…
Malang: I’m really sorry…!
Suddenly, Malang sent a pixelated chat bomb.
Malang: (GIF of a dragon tail flapping)
Head of the Gallery*: Oh.
Moreover, she even wagged a tail as an apology.
Truthfully, she didn’t feel angry at all.
Who could possibly be mad after seeing that GIF?
A smiling dragon girl with a white shirt wagging her tail?
“I can’t resist that.”
Suddenly, curious while saving the GIF.
Head of the Gallery*: But is that outfit fine?
Head of the Gallery*: I’m okay with it though!
In the GIF, she looked extremely shy.
Wondering if she was doing this under pressure, she received an immediate reply.
Malang: My sister said that the Head of the Gallery would like this kind of outfit…
Malang: She said something cute and pretty would work with you even if I’m a girl…
Head of the Gallery*: Huh?
“True, but what do you mean by ‘even if you’re a girl’?”
She was about to fix misunderstandings, but decided against it.
From experience, she knew it wouldn’t help.
Rather, her curiosity was piqued by the name of this Fate Leaf.
“It helps with mana recovery?”
This was pretty much something an elf would need, right?
Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of them.
From what she could see, it looked like it was made up of hundreds of leaves, which should last quite a while.
Of course, she’d have to see how effective it was…
“Being a dragon, it wouldn’t be a bad product, right?”
Head of the Gallery*: But hey, is this [Fate Leaf] really effective for mana recovery?
Malang: Yes, yes! Even if it’s not on the level of the World Tree sister, you can expect mana recovery from it!
Head of the Gallery*: So [Fate Leaf] is that good?
Head of the Gallery*: Wow, I really needed that. [Fate Leaf] will be useful!
Malang: I’m glad it helped!
Malang: …But could you not emphasize the leaf’s name?
Malang: It’s kind of embarrassing to think of it from when I was young…
Head of the Gallery*: [Fate Leaf]
Malang: Hin-kyoㅠㅠ
Moreover, there was something a little amusing about it.
“That said, ‘sister’ of the World Tree, huh?”
When she called Felici ‘sister,’ she thought that could happen.
After all, didn’t Felici claim to introduce herself as the queen of dragons?
But she never expected they were so acquainted with the World Tree, too.
Head of the Gallery*: But how do you know the World Tree?
So she asked.
If she was curious, she should resolve it.
Malang hesitated for a moment and then slowly opened her mouth.
Malang: Actually, centuries ago, I did the same thing in the Elard region…
Head of the Gallery*: ?
Malang: Like just now…
Head of the Gallery*: Ah.
You mean like what you did in Kellierhton, you barged into Elard trying to act like a queen… and just like how the World Tree reacted to you back then?
Head of the Gallery*: Legendary!
Malang: ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
She was a habitual offender.

The gold leaf.
As she handed the leaf she received from Malang to the elves, they immediately checked it.

This is absolutely the best!
I feel so energized, like I’ve returned to my former self!

Elkkyahho!!!

– Ah, they’ve finally recovered.
– But I did think the moment the Head of the Gallery touched it, the problem would get solved.
– If it weren’t for the Head of the Gallery, ah, lol.
(Response writer) ㅇuㅇ ㅗㅗ
In conclusion, the effect was outstanding.
Even if it wasn’t to the level of the World Tree, the elves had successfully regained their vitality.
“At one point, even Golden Child didn’t think there was a Golden Child like this…”
This time, she didn’t drink a bit and saw her entire race become disoriented by not drinking.

[Title: Elves are known trolls ㅇㅇ]
Can’t manage mana and yet can’t give up alcohol, tsk tsk x
Ah, is that an elf trait? o
[Recommended 3921] [Not Recommended 1021]
– For real, whenever you see elves, you think heaven is helping them.
– Once it was the World Tree, now it’s the Head of the Gallery, lol.
– There has never been such a troll.
(Head of the Gallery*) For real haha.
(…Head of the Gallery?)
(Whimpering Elf Con)
“Ellves are known to be a significant failure.”
No race likes elves.
After being abandoned by the World Tree, elves had become completely isolated.
Maybe that’s why, elves were increasingly becoming dependent on her.
– Head of the Gallery, please take this too!
– It’s a precious fairy fruit, I’ll give it to you, Head of the Gallery!
– We tried brewing some fruit wine at our place this time…

[You have 999+ unreceived delivery items.]
As proof, the piling up delivery items indicated so.
Most came from elves.
“Never press the bulk receive button again.”
Once, she accepted without thinking and almost burst the storage.
Now, she was even contemplating moving or constructing a front yard due to lack of space — what would happen if she started receiving gifts?
There was a serious possibility of suffocating under the avalanche of gifts pouring into the bunker.

[Notice: Stop!!!]

(A GIF of a mountain of stacked gifts)
Stop the gift offensive!
I have nowhere to store them, so please stop!

– Oh, hey, I see a gift I sent, lol.
– Wow, I’m so jealous, haha, I wonder what that feels like.
– But isn’t there a hint of elf adult content art mixed in there?
– hehe I don’t want that!
– Hehe, I should send more!
– (GIF of an elf leaning in for a lick)
– Head of the Gallery, you can’t abandon us… If you abandon us, we’ll definitely come to catch you…
Of course, those words fell on deaf ears.
“Turns out, they really do have a serious dependency issue.”
The World Tree had once advised her to be cautious of elves when she helped them out.
Back then, she didn’t understand what it meant, but now she saw the meaning clearly.
As the gifts kept piling, she contacted Malang, who had helped her this time.
Head of the Gallery*: Thanks a lot, that really helped!
The golden leaf Malang had given her showed effects beyond her expectations.
With a small amount, it had a massive effect.
Just one leaf was enough for dozens of elves to not run out of mana for days.
Malang: Hehe, I’m glad!
Head of the Gallery*: So, can I get more?
Malang: Ah.
She was thinking of regular supplies, but the response was ambiguous.
“It can’t be something you can just keep churning out, can it?”
She had a feeling it was something more valuable than she thought, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.
Malang: Um, it’s just that…
Malang: I make it using my mana…
Malang: Oh, I’m not saying I can’t! But to reproduce it, I need to consume shiny things…
Malang: I’ll find a way to prepare something by tomorrow, so please give me a little time, okay? ㅠㅠ
Head of the Gallery*: No.
Reading the conversation, it looked like she was practically extorting it.
“Shiny things?”
From the looks of it, Malang was a gold dragon that consumes jewels.
“Jewels are plentiful in the marketplace, but…”
What kind of jewels was she talking about?
She dug through the shop and managed to find some artificial gems.
—
[Shop/Category/Gems]
[12 Color Gem Set – for Props] – 26p
[25 Toy Diamond Gem Chips] – 12p
[Fancy Stone – Heart Shape] – 5p
Though they didn’t cost much, they were beautiful like real gems.
“Would this work?”
She was definitely told it needed to be shiny, right?
They looked no different from real gems on the outside.
While casually collecting a few of each type with the thought of trying her luck, she hit send.
[Sent ‘Toy Gem Set’ to Malang!]
Head of the Gallery*: What about these?
Head of the Gallery*: If not, I can send the real ones! ㅇㅇ
“What, I have a plethora of cheap real gems, anyhow.”
Right as she sent it, an immediate response came in.
—
Malang: Whoaaa!
Malang: Eek… You, they’re so beautiful…
Malang: How have I never seen gems like this before?
“No, they’re toy gems.”
The reaction was surprisingly, no, excessively positive.
