I want to eat dragon meat

“I’m hungry.”

Waking up, that was the first thought that crossed my mind.

My stomach was growling fiercely.

It felt like I hadn’t eaten for two or three days, it was that bad.

I got up, not feeling too great, but I quickly got out of bed… Did I have anything in the fridge?

Still groggy, I sat up.

I opened my heavy eyelids and glanced towards where the door of the room was… and froze.

There was a monster in front of me.

A dragon with green scales and wings.

It looked just like something out of a fairy tale.

And there was another one, a giant blue dragon that looked like a huge snake.

The two dragons were lying there, bleeding, entwined with each other.

“…What is this?”

I couldn’t make sense of it.

Why were there dragons lying in front of me when I woke up?

And why was I outdoors when I remember sleeping in my room? The sun was blinding.

I looked around.

As far as I could see, there was nothing but the sea.

Under my feet, there was rough rocky ground.

It was presumptuous to call it an island; it was narrow and flat, just a rocky reef, and there were two dragons lying on it.

My stomach growled again.

I was beyond hungry.

But there was nothing around, despairingly nothing.

Except for the dragons in front of me.

I’m hungry.

I’m famished. I can’t endure it.

Dragging my sluggish body, I approached the dragons.

There was a tremendous feeling of unease, but I couldn’t care less right now.

The dragons didn’t even flinch.

Looking closer, there was a deep wound on the dragon’s chest.

Probably a fatal wound. Beneath the broken green scales, I could see the fresh red meat.

My throat grumbled.

It was raw meat, beyond doubt.

And it wasn’t from a cow or a pig or a chicken.

It was dragon meat, of uncertain safety.

But my stomach was rumbling.

I didn’t have any resolve.

I just wanted to eat. I wanted to fill my empty stomach.

With that single thought, I plunged my face into the dragon’s wound and started devouring it.

!?!

…There were no words.

Delicious.

Despite being raw enough for blood to drip, there was no raw smell.

The pure flavor of the meat, the melting sweetness of the fat enveloped me in an indescribable aroma as it passed through my mouth.

“Delicious.”

I kept biting into it, completely absorbed.

I wanted to savor this deliciousness.

I wanted to continue basking in this ecstatic happiness.

More, more.

“…Delicious.”

Tears of joy wouldn’t stop flowing.

I couldn’t stop chewing and swallowing the meat.

I didn’t care about the blood that was sticking all over me.

My heart, perhaps. Finally, after devouring a particularly tough chunk of meat, I could take a breath. It was a blissful experience.

*Burp*

I clutch my stomach.

Despite eating so much, I’m still not satisfied.

I must have eaten double digits, maybe even close to triple digits of kilograms of meat, yet my body still craves more.

“Ugh… hold it in, hold it in.”

I feel like I’m being drawn towards the meat, but I shake my head, my voice sounding unnaturally loud, but it’s an afterthought.

――Stay calm, stay calm.

This is a deserted island.

Or rather, it’s a tiny rocky reef with no plants growing.

The only things guaranteed for sustenance are the water dragon and the dragon. I can’t afford to eat wastefully.

――But I have to see if I can eat the water dragon too, I need to taste it.

I couldn’t hold back.

Making excuses to myself, I turn my gaze to the water dragon.

It’s a large snake-like dragon with sharp blue scales.

It seems it was also involved in the fight, as the dragon’s large claw has torn open the water dragon’s belly. It’s also a fatal wound.

My throat grumbles.

I’m sure this one will be delicious too.

Instinctively, I bring my face closer to the wound on its belly and start devouring it like a beast.

The juices burst in my mouth.

“…Delicious.”

I couldn’t help but voice it as I sink my teeth into the meat.

Unlike the firm texture of the dragon meat, this one is incredibly tender.

Yet, it still has a solid elasticity, making the sensation of biting into it incredibly satisfying.

The juices flowing from the meat are abundant and rich.

As I slurp up the juices trickling down my mouth, I continue to eat bite after bite. I can’t stop.

――Ah, it’s delicious. Delicious. I want more, I want to keep eating. I want to eat until there’s nothing left…

Overwhelmed by the immense happiness, my mind goes blank… and then, my consciousness dissolves into white.

◆

I open my eyes.

The sun is glaring.

The sound of waves and the scent of the sea permeate me strangely.

I stretch out my body and sigh deeply.

When I woke up, I was on my bed in my room. It was all a dream.

For a moment, I hoped it was true, but it wasn’t that sweet.

I’m still on the same rocky reef where I lost consciousness, and on the edge of my vision, the dragon and water dragon are lying there.

…Just bones and skin.

――What the!?

I instinctively sit up and do a double take.

Unbelievable.

The dragon is about 10 meters long.

The water dragon is three times that size.

And they’ve been completely reduced to bones and skin.

“Did I… eat them all?”

It’s an unreal speculation, but I can’t think of any other explanation.

As if to confirm it, my body is covered in blood――

“What!?!”

I scream involuntarily.

I have no clothes――that’s fine.

My entire body is covered in blood――that’s also fine.

I have breasts.

There’s no evidence of being male.

I’m unmistakably in a female body.

And biologically, I was male. That was attached to me. And now it’s gone.

“Why!?”

In outrage at the absurdity of it all, I scream at the sky with all my might.
