Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don’t Want to Have Any More Children With You Vol. 4 Ch. 18
Everyone agreed with Rosvisser’s suggestion.
After the ergency eting ended, the group gathered in the main hall on the first floor, where Rosvisser used the **[Detective]** card on Leon.
Shortly, a line of text appeared on her mory Stone:
**“[The King’s Old Friend] has not killed any players in the past six hours.”**
Though Leon had known he was “innocent,” he finally felt a sense of relief wash over him upon seeing this confirmation.
Turning to the others, he shrugged, “See? I didn’t kill Aurora.”
“If it wasn’t you… then the situation is even worse,” Claudia remarked. “As you ntioned in the eting, if the wolf who killed Aurora isn’t you, then it’s soone else among us… soone with a long-range attack. We have no way to guard against that.”
“The most troubling thing is—”
Isha picked up where Claudia left off.
With her arms crossed and her cool red dragon eyes scanning the group slowly, she added, “The wolf capable of a long-range attack is one of us. It could be Claudia, little Rosvisser, or even myself.”
Isha then looked at Leon, “So, how do we go about finding this wolf?”
Leon thought for a mont and replied, “Let’s keep completing tasks. I think everyone’s noticed that as the ga progresses, more useful information cos to light. Only by quickly gathering clues about the lone wolves can we help the Princess retrieve the Black Sacred Stone.”
“Should we pair up? That way, the wolf wouldn’t dare kill anyone so easily,” Helena suggested.
If soone in a pair was killed, the other person in the pair would beco the pri suspect.
“But if this lone wolf truly has long-range attack capabilities, pairing up would only allow the wolf to eliminate us one by one, making it harder to pinpoint them,” Noa pointed out.
Helena nodded in understanding, “That makes sense…”
“Let’s just carry on as usual. If the wolf really has long-range capabilities, there’s no hiding from them,” Leon said. “And as I ntioned before, such a powerful ability is likely limited for ga balance—probably with a cooldown between uses. So let’s not be overly worried; as long as we stay calm, complete tasks, and gather clues, we’ll eventually catch this wolf.”
Leon’s morale-boosting speech didn’t sound much like a **[King’s Old Friend]**;
It sounded more like a **[Princess’s Loyal Hound]**.
But he had no choice. If his fellow lone wolf had a killing ability that he lacked, he needed to stick close to the good side for support in case things went south.
“Alright, let’s keep it that way for now. Everyone should be cautious, especially when pairing up,” Isha said. “If there’s no ergency eting, the next eting is scheduled for 8 PM.”
“Got it, everyone stay safe.”
With that, everyone dispersed.
Leon returned to his floor, with Isha walking just ahead of him.
They opened their respective room doors at nearly the sa ti.
But neither entered right away.
After a few seconds of ‘standing off,’ Isha turned to look back at Leon.
With a faint smile on her lips, she asked softly, “Do you have any clues about the lone wolves, dear brother-in-law?”
Leon shrugged, “None. Do you, Sis?”
“None here either.”
“Hmm… looks like we’ll have a busy night ahead. We’re halfway through the ga, and we haven’t found a single wolf, let alone retrieved the Black Sacred Stone.”
Isha nodded, “Yes, let’s get to work.”
After this brief exchange, Isha pushed her door open.
Just as she took a step inside, she paused as Leon spoke unexpectedly behind her, “Sis, you seem to rember the eting tis quite well.”
Isha paused, “Is there a problem with that?”
“Not at all; I just admire your mory. With so many etings in a day, it’s impressive that you rember the next one so well,” Leon replied sincerely.
Isha gave a modest smile, “It’s not much; I rembered the schedule after glancing at the rules twice.”
“Mm.”
They nodded politely to each other before entering their rooms.

With Aurora eliminated, Moon was left without a teammate and reluctantly sought help from Noa.
Initially, she had considered going to her parents.
But Moon worried about intruding on her parents’ ti together.
That’s what Aurora had told her previously—despite how her parents seed to constantly bicker, they would stick together and get cozy at every opportunity!
So, Moon chose to team up with her big sister instead.
Noa was delighted to have Moon join her.
Moon’s tail and her little tuft of hair on top of her head wiggled happily.
When Aurora was still around, she had no legitimate reason to find Noa, relying solely on the **[Seven-Day Lock of Love]** to bind her to her sister.
But now, with Aurora out, she had a very, very, very legitimate reason to team up with her sister!
If you do the math:
One Aurora = Ten **[Seven-Day Lock of Love]** item cards.
“Superhero Aurora, sacrificing herself for Moon!”
Although she had ‘sacrificed’ Aurora, the chance to stick close to her sister made Moon feel like her ga experience was practically perfect.
With Moon joining, the three little dragon girls sped through their tasks at a much faster pace.
After searching a bit, they entered a room.
In the center was a table with several empty cups and a bucket of water.
The three of them approached the table, and Noa picked up a card that explained the rules of the ga:
**“Use your mouth to hold the cup, transferring the water to the next person. Work together to fill the leftmost empty cup, and the task will be complete.”**
“Oh, this seems easy enough. Let’s start.”
“Yes, big sister!”
The little dragon girls lined up in a row.
Moon made sure to squeeze herself into the middle position.
That way, she could stand between her sister and Helena, ensuring they wouldn’t accidentally get too close while passing water by mouth.
Did you think Moon’s goal in joining the **[Princess]** group was only to cling to her sister?
Of course not!
Little Moon also wanted to keep a close watch, ensuring that sneaky sea dragon Helena didn’t take her sister away!
After positioning themselves, they started the water-passing ga.
Noa, standing on the right, filled her cup with water, carefully gripped the edge of the cup with her mouth, and slowly turned to face Moon.
Then, rising on her tiptoes and tilting her body, she gently poured the water into Moon’s cup.
Throughout the process, Moon’s soft, chubby cheek was pressed snugly against her sister’s.
“Moon, you don’t need to stick so close,” Noa mumbled around the cup.
“No, no, sister. We need to avoid spilling as much water as possible, so we have to stay close,” Moon said with a straight face.
“Good point.”
The sisters worked well together, but their first attempt at transferring the water took a while and left a lot of spillage. By the ti the water reached Moon’s cup, only half remained.
With the water secured, Moon imdiately turned to Helena.
Due to the height difference, Helena had to bend her knees; otherwise, Moon wouldn’t reach even on tiptoe.
Noa watched nervously, fearing a repeat of the slow, spill-prone transfer.
But to Noa’s surprise, her sister, who had been slow and careful just a mont ago, completed the transfer with Helena at lightning speed.
“So… you were totally faking it earlier, Moon!”
Noa couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.
Silly girl, just wanting to press your cheek close—did you think no one would notice?
The first round of water passing ended, but there was still quite a bit to go before filling the target cup.
“Let’s go again~” Moon urged eagerly.
“Hold on a second.”
Helena suddenly paused, “I think our lineup could use so adjusting.”
Moon blinked, worried Helena wanted to switch her out of the middle position.
But Helena clarified, “If I stand at the end, no matter who passes the cup to , we’d lose a lot of water because of the height difference. So, I think I should go first, Moon stays in the middle, and Noa takes the last spot. How about that?”
Noa nodded, “Sounds good to .”
As long as Moon got to stay close, she had no objections.
After rearranging, they resud their water-passing.
As Helena had predicted, the new lineup minimized water loss due to height differences.
The water transfer between her and Moon went smoothly.
And when it ca to Moon and Noa, despite Moon’s cheek-to-cheek maneuver with her sister, they still managed to retain a decent amount of water.
After several rounds, they finally filled the empty cup.
“Yay~ Big sister’s the best!”
Moon clapped her hands in joy and quickly added, “Helena’s pretty aweso too.”
Though she was a dedicated sister complex, Moon still rembered her manners.
Helena smiled warmly, “Thank you, Moon~”
With the task completed, a hidden compartnt opened on the table, revealing a card.
Noa picked it up—it was an item card.
- **[Cycle of Desperation]**
- **Effect:** When only two players remain on the field, using this item card forces a 1v1 mini-ga with the other player.
- **Victory in the 1v1 mini-ga equates to winning the entire ga.**
- **
Note:** When all else fails, go all in.**
