Poor Red Dragon!

It was the fifth day since Sakura came to this world. She was happily humming a song from her previous life as she swept through the Sakura petals. The shrine had collected a considerable amount of flower petals.

So she was cleaning it with a broom.

"And that's all of it." She said in satisfaction as she looked over the pile of pink colored petals in satisfaction.

*Whoosh

The next second, even before Sakura could puff her chest in pride a violent wind blew and all the flower petals scattered everywhere.

"This…" Sakura stared at the place where the pile existed with a blank face.

[ Woman, you have pleased this king with your impressive strength. So I will give you the honor to become this king's concubine. ]

Sakura looked up to the source of the wind and there was a red colored dragon hovering in the sky.

The dragon was about to continue his speech when he felt an overbearing pressure.

[ Huh? ]

It was his denger sense as well as his mana sense. His danger sense told him he was in immediate danger. And his mana sense telling him the mana in the air was getting incredibly dense for some reason.

'Did I do something wrong?' he thought as he looked at the girl in front of him.

As Sakura raised her hand the dragon felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly opened his mouth and casted a spatial magic with all his strength. A portal started to appear in his mouth.

The next moment Sakura said,

"Fire-ball."

A group of small orange lights appeared in front of her and made their way towards the dragon.

The group of small light were tranquil and looked harmless. But the dragon could feel the mana contained in them.

He widened his mouth and gobbled down the lights. But the next moment he plummeted towards the ground as all his energy was being spent to try and close the portal.

*Boom

As he fell near the foot of the mountain a deep crater was created.

But even after he fell he was desperately trying to close the portal inside his mouth.

He succeeded after a few seconds.

[ Phew. ]

He sighed in relief.

'I thought I was gonna die. Thankfully I sensed it before and casted a pocket dimension spell.'

He was thankful he survived that,

*Boom

Or not.

He looked at the girl that stood before him with fear in his eyes. Sakura, who was clearly engaged, was staring at him with blank eyes.

"Hey, do you know how much effort I put into cleaning that place?"

Sakura said with a menasing glint in her eyes.

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

1 hour later,

"You left a corner over there." Sakura instructed while chewing on a lolipop.

"Yes, mam." The dragon who now had taken a human form said with his utmost sincerity.

He had crimson red hair that flowed out untill his weist. His eyes and were bright orange color. His royal attire made him look like a king of some sorts. Over all he was magnificent and handsome.

At least that would have been peoples reaction if it's not for the swallen eyes and bruises all this over his face.

"That corner, yes that one."

"Yes mam."

The dragon king swept through the place as Sakura instructed him.

With his high physical stats the dragon king easily cleaned up everything.

"That's it for the front. Now it's time for the inner area."

Sakura said as she went to the courtyard behind the shrine. She didn't clean this area previously but since she was getting free labor why not just do some extra work.

As Sakura made her way towards the courtyard Astra spoke up.

< I suggest that he doesn't go near the Sakura tree.>

"The big one with the swing?"

< Yes, that one. >

"But why?"

< If he touched that tree he will die. >

"Huh? Say what?"

< If he touch that tree he will die. >

"No, wait, why would he die? I remember touching it, but nothing happened."

< If he touches the tree the system will immediately deem him as a theat and eliminate him. Since you are the master of the system you are excluded from this. >

"It the tree really important?" Sakura asked with curiosity. It was one thing to punish someone or protect something. But to kill Them just for touching something is really extreme.

< Yes, it is an important part of the system. >

"It's that so?" She pondered for a moment.

"Okay I will tell him to not touch the tree."

"Clean up every corner. Don't leave anything." Sakura said while looking at the man in front of her.

"Yes mam!" He said with a salute.

"Now get moving."

"Yes mam." He shouted while running to the courtyard.

"And also don't touch the tree over there." Sakura instructed while pointing at the big tree in the courtyard.

The dragon didn't dare to ask anything and just answered with a yes mam.

Sakura then went inside the house. She was in the mood to do some shopping. After all, her house was a little empty at this moment.

The dragon king kept cleaning the courtyard. He went on the roof to the small corners as well as under the elevated compartments of the shrine. Basically everywhere he could find a petal he would clean it.

"Hah, that should be all of them."

He looked at the clean courtyard with a prideful expression.

"Hehe, as expected of a king. No one can compare with this king's sweeping."

He held the broom in his as if he was holding a victory flag.

"Muahahahaha, with this sweeping the king will sweep out all the beauties in the world."

"Hahaha, woman come here and be impressed. Let's see now how you stay single after witnessing this kings spectacular sweeping."

But when he said this, replays of the past started playing in his mind and his enthusiasm instantly vanished.

"Cough, you know what, true men should not chase after women. They should make the women chase after them."

He nodded his head.

"Hmm, hmm, a king's thoughts should be as deep as the Atlantis city."

As he was deep in thought and kept nodding like an idiot he remembered something.

"Oh that woman did mention something about not touching the big tree there."

He looked at the tree on the other side off the courtyard. It was a very big fat tree. A swing could be seen hanging on it.

"Could it be…"

He fell into deep thought. His face was grim.

"This is the place where she keeps her secret novels stack."

His eyes flashed with a glint of realization. He had a personal collection of novels that were questionable to say the least. And those novels were all hidden deep inside his treasury.

He knew how protective a person would be to protect them.

"Hehe, you can't fool me."

He walked to the tree and inspected it with his eyes for a moment. Strangely he couldn't find any kind of protective spells or any kind of compartment of sorts.

So he went ahead and tried to touch it.

But before he could touch it a chill ran down his spine. He felt danger behind him and turned around stiffly.

Behind him he saw a woman wearing a black one piece dress. She had deep black hair. Her pupils twinkled as if little sparkling stars were embedded in them. She was beautiful.

In Fact she was probably the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. But despite this he felt a chill from this woman.

Sakura, who he had previously met, was scary. Because she was powerful. But this woman was a different kind of scary.

He gulped in fear. If he had to describe this woman he could only say one word.

'Erie.'

The woman in front of him said with her indifferent face,

"don't touch that."

It was a request but to the dragon king it felt like an order.

"Yes." he said yes and the woman in front of him disappeared.

The dragon king who was still very scared slowly walked to the elevated platforms behind the shrine and sat down

. His hands were shaking.

'Why do I, the king of fire dragons, have to suffer like this?'

'Mommy, save me.' he kept looking at the ground as he contemplated what he had done wrong.
