Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don't Want to Have Any More Children With You-Chapter 12Vol 4. : The Only One

Although Leon couldn't attend the group meeting due to his "food poisoning," he didn't waste the time.

He wandered through the castle, hoping to trigger some special tasks exclusive to his "lone wolf" role.

The information card had mentioned that completing tasks would grant advantages.

Leon was fighting alone. Even though he had the Black Sacred Stone, it was more like a hot potato—once discovered, he'd be out of the game.

Especially in the later stages of the game, when everyone grew desperate, they would go to any lengths to search for the Black Sacred Stone.

Leon needed to build up his advantages while the game was still in its early, relatively calm stage.

However, after a thorough round of exploring, Leon hadn't found any useful clues.

He didn't come across any extraordinary task items like Rosvisser's, which allowed her to "hard control" him for one round and prevent him from attending the meeting.

"Tsk... The chef's task was so easy to find. Why is the lone wolf's task so difficult?" Leon muttered as he returned to his room.

About ten minutes later, he heard doors opening and closing outside.

It seemed the meeting on the °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° first floor had ended, and Isha had returned.

**[Please find the ‘doctor,’ who has the antidote for food poisoning.]**

That was what the memory stone had informed him earlier.

And Isha's drawn identity card was indeed that of the doctor.

Without delay, Leon got up and went to Isha's room.

He couldn’t waste too much time; if he was still suffering from food poisoning by the next meeting, everyone might vote him out.

*Knock, knock, knock—*

"Come in," came Isha's voice.

Leon pushed open the door.

Isha was sitting on the living room sofa, holding her initial information card.

When she saw Leon, she slowly placed the card back into the wooden box and closed it.

Then she turned her head, resting her chin on her hand, eyes twinkling with amusement as she asked, "What's up, brother-in-law?"

Leon shrugged. "The NPC said I have food poisoning. You’re supposed to have the antidote."

Isha was momentarily stunned before nodding thoughtfully.

"Ah, so that's how the rules work... Quite realistic."

"Yeah. So, sis, do you have the antidote?"

Just then, Isha’s memory stone played a message from the staff:

**"The antidote is in the 'doctor's' storage cabinet."**

**"Note: The antidote is a game item and can be safely consumed as fruit candy."**

Isha raised her eyebrows, smirking. "Hmm, interesting."

The red-haired beauty stood up slowly and made her way to the storage room.

"Wait here. The Red Dragon's renowned doctor will fetch your medicine."

Leon chuckled.

Alright, she was already getting into character.

Not long after, Isha returned with a few pieces of "antidote" in her hand.

She opened her palm to reveal candies of different colors.

"Well, my frail and sickly brother-in-law, do you want the orange-flavored antidote, the apple-flavored one, or... oh, here’s a mint-flavored one? Which will it be?"

"Orange, please."

"I knew you'd pick orange."

Leon paused. "Why?"

"Because little Ros loves oranges," Isha said.

"...This has nothing to do with Rosvisser, sis," Leon replied, catching the orange candy she tossed to him.

"Of course, it does. Lovers influence each other subtly. What she likes, you'll try, and eventually, you’ll enjoy it with her."

Leon shook his head with a bitter smile. "Then guess who poisoned me?"

Isha blinked her bright eyes and quickly understood whom he was referring to.

"Oh~ The chef, huh? It’s an identity that allows for subtle attacks. This is much more interesting than the 'Werewolf' games we played at home."

There was a hint of excitement in Isha's tone.

She loved strategic games, especially when her brother-in-law was a potential opponent—it made the challenge even more thrilling.

Leon popped the candy into his mouth, and the memory stone chimed, indicating that his food poisoning status had been cleared and he could now attend meetings again.

"So, why do you think Rosvisser poisoned me?" Leon crossed his arms, furrowing his brow in thought.

"Could it be... that she stole the Black Sacred Stone, then poisoned me to stop me from attending the meeting, using the opportunity to persuade everyone to vote me out?"

While posing the question, Leon couldn't help but subtly frame his wife, pushing the blame for stealing the Black Sacred Stone onto her.

Isha pondered for a moment before replying, "Knowing Ros, her reasons might not be that complicated."

"And?"

"And she might have done it just for fun."

Leon covered his face with his hand, silently lamenting.

Using a precious "hard control" opportunity just for amusement was a baffling move in any type of Werewolf game—

But when he considered his cunning, grudge-holding wife, with Leon as the target, it all made sense.

"So, sis, what’s your main task as the doctor?" Leon asked directly.

"Me? I’m a veterinarian, specializing in treating small animals. Like a certain food-poisoned relative," Isha said, teasing him with a playful tone that dodged his question.

Leon knew she was evading, but he hadn't expected an easy answer anyway.

"What about you, brother-in-law? What’s your main task?"

"Protect the princess," Leon lied with a straight face.

"Oh? Protect the princess?"

"Yes. The Black Sacred Stone has been stolen, and the princess has ordered the castle to be sealed. I suspect the thief might get desperate and target the princess directly."

Leon was utterly serious in his nonsense.

"So, naturally, we good guys have to protect the princess. If she gets 'killed,' the game might end immediately, right?"

When Leon called himself part of the "good guys," his face and eyes radiated pure conviction, as if the Black Sacred Stone he hid under the kitchen water tank didn't even exist.

Ah, that’s the confidence of a true hero (take notes, Konstantin).

Isha didn't comment on that, only saying, "Well then, good brother-in-law, you'd better hurry and pledge your loyalty to the princess."

"Why?"

"Because you didn't attend the last meeting, everyone thinks you're suspicious and wants to investigate you first."

"I didn’t attend the meeting because Rosvisser poisoned her own husband!"

Isha spread her hands. "If she doesn't tell anyone, how would they know?"

Hard-controlling a lone wolf like this was clever because it allowed everyone to accuse Leon while he couldn’t defend himself.

"So, do you trust me, sis?"

"As your sister-in-law, I trust you; but as the in-game doctor, I need to keep an eye on you."

Leon had to admit Isha was sharp. Her answer left no openings, even in a simple identity game.

"Fair enough."

Leon paused, then added, "Wait, sis, if Rosvisser didn’t just poison me for fun but wanted to accuse me during my absence, she really might be the one who stole the Black Sacred Stone."

Isha considered this. "That’s possible. This game likely has a 'lone wolf' role capable of attacking at will. And..."

"And?"

"And Ros targeting you was something I expected. If you had the chance, you'd be the first to target her, too."

"..."

*Clap—*

Isha clapped her hands, eyes sparkling as she declared, "Wow, you two are perfectly matched in this way! A true made-for-each-other couple~"

Don’t be gross, sis!

But to be honest, if Leon had the opportunity to strike first, he really would target Rosvisser.

Married men don’t have many hobbies, but one of them is "targeting" their wives.

"So, what will you do next?" Isha asked.

"Like you said, I’ll go and pledge loyalty to Noa. She’s the princess, right?"

"Mhm... Good luck."

Leon waved. "Thanks for the orange-flavored antidote, sis. I’m off."

"Bye! And don’t fall for Ros’s tricks again."

She laughed, as if already knowing what had transpired between Leon and Rosvisser in the kitchen.

Leon smirked without answering, opened the door, and left.

After he departed, Isha sat back down on the sofa and reopened the wooden box on the coffee table, taking out the card she’d been looking at earlier.

It wasn’t the initial information card but a new one she had obtained from completing a hidden task right after the meeting.

The card had only one word written on it:

**"The Only."**

Isha's mind raced.

**"The Only... What does it mean?"**
