Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don't Want to Have Any More Children With You-Chapter 84Vol 4. : This is Bad!
The third stop on Noa and Helena’s best-friend date was the fountain near the clan square.
“This place is even prettier at night,” Noa explained. “The lights and fountain make it look magical.”
“Then let’s come back tonight! We have plenty of time during this break.”
Noa nodded. “Good idea. Let’s take some photos for now.”
“Sure!”
Noa pulled out a camera, carefully adjusting the angle. She and Helena posed in various ways, striking playful gestures.
Noa’s expression remained calm and controlled—years of managing her stoic personality—but Helena’s cheerful demeanor added a lively touch to their photos.

Meanwhile, the two tails of the covert duo peeked out from behind a tree.
Moon was perched on top, and Aurora below, their heads stacked like a totem pole.
“Did you hear that, Aurora?”
“Hear what, Second Sister?”
“Helena said she’s staying with us for several more days! Did you hear that?”
Aurora rolled her eyes. “Wow, you can’t hear teachers when they ask you questions in class, but now you can hear Helena from this far away?”
Moon lowered her chin onto Aurora’s head and whispered conspiratorially,
“I pretend not to hear in class. That way, the teacher moves on to someone else to answer.”
Aurora tilted her head up to look at Moon’s soft, round face. “Second Sister, you are a genius at slacking off.”
Moon huffed. “Ugh, it’s the weekend, and tomorrow we go back to the academy. I’m terrified to think what Helena will do while we’re gone! She’ll have Big Sister all to herself!”
“So what’s your plan? Skip school?”
Aurora snickered. “Your excuse is ‘I need to stay home to keep my sister from being stolen?’”
“I’m not that dumb,” Moon retorted. “Even Dad wouldn’t believe that excuse, let alone the teachers!”
Aurora smirked. “So you admit Dad’s kind of dumb?”
“I don’t know if Dad’s dumb, but his cooking is delicious.”
The little dragonettes bickered quietly behind the tree, oblivious to the fact that Noa had caught sight of their silver and pink tails in the reflection of the fountain.

“Noa, look! How about this one?”
Noa glanced at the photo, where Helena gently held her chin in a pose that made her look like a purring kitten. It was an adorably composed shot—worthy of being printed and framed.
But Noa’s sharp eyes focused on the background.
Two small tails peeked out from behind a tree: one silver, one pale pink.
Silver tails were common enough in the Silver Dragon Clan, but pink? Very rare.
And for both colors to appear together?
It could only mean one thing: her sisters.
---
“What’s wrong, Noa?”
Helena tilted her head in concern. “Does the photo look bad?”
“No, it’s fine,” Noa replied casually, choosing not to turn around.
When she hadn’t seen Moon or Aurora all morning, she’d already suspected her mischievous sisters were up to something. Now, confirming that they were tailing her and Helena’s outing, Noa decided not to call them out.
In fact, she saw their antics as the perfect way to maintain balance among her siblings. If Moon wanted to play “protector,” Noa was willing to let her.
---
“Noa, let’s take some more photos under the cherry blossoms!” Helena suggested.
“Sure.”
As the two walked toward the grove, the covert duo naturally followed.
But Moon suddenly stopped mid-step, clutching her stomach with a strange expression.
“What’s wrong, Second Sister?” Aurora asked, turning back.
“It’s... nothing. Let’s keep going.”
“Uh... okay?”

The rest of the date passed with lighthearted activities: taking photos, sipping cold drinks, and feeding squirrels.
There were no overly intimate moments or romantic confessions—much to Moon’s relief. No declarations of “You’re mine, Noa!” or “I’m happiest when it’s just the two of us!”
Instead, their interactions remained pure and friendly, reflecting the genuine bond between best friends.

By evening, the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the park. Noa and Helena sat side by side on a bench by the lake, enjoying the cool breeze.
Helena swayed gently with the wind, humming a soft tune as her legs dangled playfully.
“Today was so much fun, Noa.”
“Mm,” Noa agreed, her gaze falling on Helena’s satchel, which was stuffed with snacks.
“Why did you buy so many snacks?”
“They’re for Moon and Aurora,” Helena replied.
Noa blinked in surprise. “You knew they were following us?”
“Of course. Their disguises weren’t exactly subtle,” Helena said with a laugh. “I figured you noticed too but chose not to say anything, so I followed your lead.”
Helena pulled out the snacks. “They’ve /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ been trailing us all day without eating. I grabbed these when we passed the stalls earlier.”
Helena hopped off the bench.
“What are you doing?” Noa asked.
“Creating a ‘coincidental’ encounter.”
Noa smiled faintly, watching Helena stroll toward a nearby tree.
Sure enough, Helena stopped, peeked around dramatically, and gasped, “Moon! Aurora! What a coincidence running into you here!”
The tailing duo froze, caught completely off guard.
Unable to feign ignorance, they sheepishly emerged from behind the tree.
Moon nervously fiddled with her dress hem. “Oh... what a coincidence! We were just, um, passing by. Right, Aurora?”
Aurora nodded quickly. “Yup, just passing through! Totally not here for anything else!”
Helena chuckled. “Well, since you’re here, have some snacks!”
“Uh, no thanks! We’re not hungry—”
*Growl~*
Before Moon could finish her sentence, her stomach betrayed her.
She turned to Aurora for backup, only for the same thing to happen.
*Growl~*
Helena laughed. “Come on, I bought plenty. Let’s eat together!”
Without waiting for a response, she grabbed their hands and led them back to the bench.

“Good evening, Moon,” Noa greeted with a smile.
Moon turned her head away, pouting. “Good evening, Sister... We were just passing by.”
“Sure, passing by. Since we’re all here, let’s eat. Helena bought these for you two.”
Moon hesitated, her pride warring with her hunger. But before she could make up her mind, Aurora dove into the pile of snacks, happily munching away.
“...Traitor,” Moon muttered under her breath.
“Eat up,” Helena coaxed, handing Moon a packet of beef jerky. “I know my presence might make you uncomfortable, but please understand: Noa is your sister. She loves you, and no one will ever take her away from you.”
Moon’s ears perked up. Helena’s words were soft and reassuring, her blue eyes filled with warmth.
“You’re unique to her, Moon. No one can replace you. I’m just a friend, here to bring Noa some companionship.”
Helena gently pinched Moon’s cheek, relieved when she didn’t pull away. “Don’t overthink it, okay? You’re an amazing little dragoness.”
Moon’s face reddened. “T-Thank you... Helena.”
“Good girl. Now, eat something.”
Just as Moon reached for the jerky, her stomach rumbled loudly again.
“...Seven ice creams...” Moon muttered, clutching her belly.
“What?”
“Seven ice creams... I’m done for!”
