Even If I'm Reborn as a Cute Dragon Girl, I Will Still Make a Harem-Chapter 50Book 6: : Dragon Monolith

“This is your little trick? You really think you can fool me that easily? How naive,” Lilith murmured to herself as she stood before the empty cave.

Then she turned and walked into the next one. It was also empty and covered in dust. Then the third, the fourth, the fifth… The 3,788th… Lilith checked them all, even caves that had never been occupied.

And in the end, all of them looked like they had been abandoned for a long time. Or perhaps… No one had ever lived in there at all.

“Okay, now this is getting ridiculous.”

Lilith took a deep breath, staring at the long rows of empty caves. For some reason, it all felt so surreal.

“If I find you all hiding somewhere, I swear I’ll make you regret it!” she snapped.

Forcing herself to calm down, she then made her way toward the most important place on this island—the great hall where all the dragons usually gathered. It was also a huge cave, but unlike the others, it had been meticulously renovated and decorated until it looked like a magnificent palace hall.

In fact, it was not wrong to call it a palace. This was the place where the Dragon Queen commanded the dragons. It was pretty much what the humans would call a “throne room”.

Lilith stepped inside.

Everything was exactly as she remembered—the vast open chamber, the ferocious beasts etched into the walls, and the spot that the Dragon Queen once sat upon at the end of the hall…

Though the fiery red figure was no longer there, the throne remained, solemnly overlooking the empty space below. It all felt like a dream.

Staring at the throne, Lilith felt a wave of memory wash over her.

She once sat comfortably in that oversized seat, looking down on all the dragons below. Her mother stood next to her, furiously scolding the two idiots who had nearly blew up the entire island with their magic during a spar.

Every now and then, her mother would glance back at her. And no matter how furious those eyes had been a second earlier, they would instantly soften.

Lilith would smile back and chime in with a few helpful reminders about the culprits’ past misdeeds—just to add fuel to the fire.

How nostalgic.

At some point, Lilith had already climbed into the throne again. She ran her fingers along the smooth armrests, made of solid gold. They were just as cold as she remembered from all those years ago.

“Hmm?” Lilith suddenly realized something was off. The armrests… they were spotless.

When she explored the caves, everything was layered in dust, including this throne room. It was like no one had been living here for a very long time. But the throne was clean… There wasn’t a single speck of dust.

Lilith wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she even felt a trace of lingering warmth on its surface. It was almost as if… someone had been sitting there not long ago.

Mom.

That was the only person she could think of. There were only two people who’d sit on this throne—her mother and herself. That meant her mother had been sitting here not long ago!

Although it was just a small clue, it was enough to excite her.

“Alright! Time to step up my game. I’ll find you all!” Lilith clenched her fists, and encouraged herself.

While waving her fist around, she accidentally hit a strange button on the throne.

“Huh?” Lilith blinked in confusion. “Was… that always there?”

A sudden flash of blinding light engulfed the room before everything went black.

“Finally… has the moment come?”

The Dragon Queen sat upon her star-cast throne, gazing across the desolate void at a small azure planet nestled beyond the deadlands.

She had felt it—the delicate mechanism she left behind had been triggered. That meant Lilith had taken her first step toward discovering the truth.

She let out a long, soft sigh.

“My dear daughter… If I had a choice, I would have spared you this. But it would be far more tragic for you to remain in the dark until the very end. So I leave that decision in your hands. I only hope that… you won’t come to regret it. Because truth, more often than not, is cruel.”

With nothing more to say, the Queen turned her gaze upward, toward the depths of the stars as if she were waiting for something.

She ignored the Thoughtless Deity Lord who stared at her, and paid no mind to the mole crickets scuttling through shadows, thinking themselves stealthy as they inched toward the azure planet.

The Dragon Queen waited in silence, for her old friends and.. the moment to end it all.

*[ Would you like to unravel part of the truth? ]*

*[ Yes ]*

*[ No ]*

“Yes!”

*[ Are you sure you would like to unravel part of the truth? ]*

*[ Yes ]*

*[ No ]*

“Yes!”

*[ Are you really sure you want to unravel part of the truth and won’t regret it? ]*

*[ Yes ]*

*[ No ]*

“I’m fricking sure!” 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

*[ Please answer yes or no. ]*

“Enough of this b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲!”

In the endless darkness, Lilith shouted at the endlessly looping voice echoing through her ears.

“Who the hell designed this garbage-tier question system?

They might as well have just slapped ‘I don’t want you to find out the truth’ on the screen.”

*[ I indeed do not want you to find out the truth. ]*

Sure enough, the words materialized in the darkness—gleaming gold and blinding.

“Oh f̲u̲c̲k̲ off!” Lilith could feel her blood pressure spike. “Change someone else… No, change the questions, or I’ll burn you!”

In the darkness, flames of a darker shade appeared behind Lilith.

Instead of arguing, she decided to threaten.

*[ …… ]*

A long pause followed.

Then a new voice appeared.

*[ Are you really, really, really, really sure you want to unravel part of the truth and won’t regret it? ]*

*[ No ]*

*[ Nope ]*

“…Are you kidding me? You really think I won’t notice it’s the same damn voice, just pitched higher? And what’s with those options? They’re both the same! Seriously, how desperate are you to keep the truth from me? Well, the more you try to hide it, the more I want to know!”

Lilith, having run out of patience, raised her hand—and black flame burst forth like a blooming rose. Its petals unfurled and scattered.

The darkness surrounding her peeled away, dissolving like a curtain slowly drawn back. It was devoured entirely by the spreading flame.

Just as the last remnants faded into nothing, a faint sigh echoed in her ears. It sounded almost like… regret. Or sorrow.

Then, the light returned.

It took Lilith two seconds to adjust to the sudden brightness. When her vision cleared, her eyes were instantly drawn to the colossal figure that now dominated half her field of view.

Suspended between the illusory sky and ground stood a towering golden monolith.

“Is that… the Dragon Monolith?”

She remembered it well. It was the sacred relic that had bestowed her true name at birth. That was the moment she first connected with the Dragon Ancestor.

It was said to be a tablet of records, etched with the true names of every dragon. It functioned like a… genealogy book for the dragons.

A rush of joy welled in Lilith’s chest. With the Dragon Monolith here, the absurd claim that “dragons didn’t exist” would be shattered. If anyone dared to say otherwise, she could just slam this thing in their face.

As for those cowards who were still hiding from her… she’d find them and bash them over the head with this!

Fueled by excitement, Lilith took a confident step forward.

And then… “Owww!” She tripped… over an unremarkable stone tablet covered in moss.
