Episode 30

[Tell me if you need other food. I will save you somehow.]

“It’s okay. I’m not that hungry.”

[Hmm. i get it. Just say it anytime.]

What was more urgent than hunger was boredom.

Staying in this cave all day only sighs and is boring.

It would be nice to have at least a game console, but if that’s greedy, a TV…

‘What do you want in a cave like this?’

Boring aside, the uncomfortable environment made my heart rot.

The floor is damp, and occasionally cold water knocks overhead.

It’s like being in a house with an open roof on a rainy day.

“Uh… even my socks are wet.”

Hellion’s habitat is a deep cave, so the humidity is high and the ground is damp.

Even walking was tiring, but since it was night, the whole area was tinged with darkness.

A closed space with no dreams or hopes.

If I kidnap anyone and lock them up here, I wonder if they would hang themselves.

It’s such a boring place and there’s nothing to do.

[Kheung.]

It’s fortunate that I have a companion named Hellion.

I tapped the shoulder of the guy who was lying down to rest.

“Rion.”

[Did you finally come up with a business?]

“No. I was just bored so I called.”

Hellion tilted his head and blinked his eyes.

Showing a stupid expression for a while, the guy scattered his life.

[what? This cheeky thing…!]

“Wow wow calm. This is my own expression of affection. Don’t take it too badly.”

[Expression of affection?]

“Uh. We humans do this once in a while.”

[huh. A low-class race. I’m going to pass it on specially this time.]

After a short chat, silence fell again.

I just wandered around silently, and Hellion was observing me.

[human.]

“Why.”

[…… I was just bored so I called.]

“uh?”

Is he kidding me right now?

Still, it’s pretty unique. That, too, would be an expression of love in one’s own way.

‘It’s an expression of affection…’

A sign of accepting the contract if interpreted differently?

I threw out the words of no interest.

“Rion. Speaking of our contract. Slowly…”

[Wake up the dream. Don’t you think I don’t know your black inside?]

“Ah. What are you talking about? What kind of impure heart did I have?”

[Then promise me. stay with me for the rest of my life If you keep this promise, I will gladly fulfill my contract.]

It was hot.

I just thought he was ignorant, but when I see him like this, he looks like a dragon.

Or is it that I can’t lie?

Whatever the case, the plan fell through.

I just scratched my head without saying anything.

[Something must mean rejection.]

When I didn’t respond, he gave me a disgruntled look.

[What is the reason? Don’t you want to rely on this body?]

“Uh, yes. I don’t really want to do that.”

When he firmly denied it, his voice grew louder.

[so why! why! Are you avoiding this body! Is it because of the racial barrier?!]

“Well, this is not my house. It is yours.”

[Sounds like something nonsensical… It’s not my house, it’s our house! Didn’t I allow it? You are my companion!]

“What if you allow it? I say I don’t want to accept it.”

[this…! This sucks!]

No matter how you think about it, Hellion and I are water and oil.

Even after a hundred years, I don’t think we’ll understand each other’s language, and we won’t be able to get along.

To begin with, coexistence between humans and dragons is absolutely impossible.

[go away! Not at all helpful! A dirty bastard!]

And that hysterical dragon.

Because it’s me, I’m enduring well until now and taking care of him.

“Huh? Does it really turn off?”

[This body saved your life! If you have a conscience, you shouldn’t say such things!]

“If the benefactor who saved my life goes out, he has to go out. So, shall we just stay quiet?”

[Isn’t that what you mean! Annoying human…]

Because it has a taste for teasing.

To be honest, I wanted to be 25 years old and this was a childish prank, but I thought I would go crazy if I didn’t do this.

So, Hellion’s funny reaction is the only drug and entertainment allowed to me.

However, if we continue to tease Hellion, it seems like he will get angry, and I showed off a proper tightrope ride.

“Sorry. Sorry. I was just bored so I teased you.”

[…is that an expression of affection?]

“No. This is really boring.”

[Sleep! Don’t touch my body!]

Looks like you got it right I also refuse to be petted.

“Sleep. Come on. I can sleep too.”

I lay down on the Hellion as a bed. As he inhales and exhales, his stomach becomes convex and then slimmer.

Naturally, my head went in and popped out. It’s like a ride, so it’s kind of fun.

I won’t be bored for a while.

After tens of minutes passed, I called Hellion without thinking.

“Rion.”

[Kreung… Sniff…]

“Hey? You sleep very fast.”

I need to stop playing and go to sleep…

‘No.’

Hellion is sleeping?

There’s no way a sleeping guy would notice my escape, and he couldn’t stop it.

This is the perfect situation to run away from.

It was as if God had given this lamb a special gift.

-gulp.

I hid my footsteps as much as possible, like a student secretly going to the computer.

Carefully, slowly, using only the tips of your toes…

“Whew…Operation successful.”

We barely made it to the exit.

Now, if you break through this barrier, you can return home.

‘Is the color a bit red?’

Contrary to the first barrier, which was closer to blue, this barrier was reddish.

only the color changed. There won’t be any other differences.

I was so relieved that I put my foot out.

-Giying-

“……!”

Electricity surged and made a huge noise.

“Damn it.”

The first barrier was a barrier that restricted the entry of outsiders.

The barrier this time was an alarm light that notified the insiders to go out.

f*cked.

Still, if you come and give up now, nothing gets better.

“Hurry before Leone sees-“

[Where are you going?]

Startle.

I knew you would get caught, but so soon?

[I asked where you were going.]

The sound of Hellion’s words, not feeling any emotion at all.

At first glance, it felt faintly only to live.

“Ahahahaha… what is that? Are you going for a walk because you’re feeling a little sore?”

[Another lie. Is that your specialty?]

Write… it doesn’t work anymore…

How do I get out of this hole?

I couldn’t come up with an excuse, so I just smiled awkwardly.

[Don’t laugh.]

“sorry.”

Hellion’s expression was surprising.

It’s a face that shows only worry in a situation that would be annoyed.

the boy said weakly.

[human. Do you hate me?]

I don’t like it. Because he looks good on me too.

I just hate this place.

I said it with sincerity.

“No. It’s closer to being good than hating, right?”

[Then why…why…why are you turning your back on me?]

Hellion spoke heavily.

[This body does not want to be alone. But I don’t even want to pick up people I don’t know.]

I know that.

Because dragons treat creatures other than their own kind as ants.

[I need you. Come with me.]

“Um…”

How would he react if he openly refused?

I suddenly had such curiosity, but my pulpit was not big enough to confirm it.

I chose the words to not go against planting as much as possible.

“Rion. I’m grateful, but my situation is a bit like that.”

[What do you mean?]

I racked my brain and came up with this excuse.

“Actually… my children are waiting for me, so I really can’t help it. Please understand.”

maternal love. Balaur who live and die in fatherly love.

This excuse will work unconditionally.

‘Of course he’s a teacher though.’

Isn’t the teacher also the father? That’s not wrong.

[Children… are you talking about blood?]

“They’re not blood relatives, they’re just entrusted children.”

[You are talking about something incomprehensible. You’re taking care of non-blood children? It is a contradiction.]

Write. I can’t explain how

The meaning of family as humans think and the meaning of dragon’s family are idiotic.

The cadets are also children to me.

In other words, I could be the father to them.

But what about dragons?

They never live in unity with creatures that are not connected by blood.

Even if it’s the same race.

Because of these differences, I don’t think I can easily convince him.

Even so, I shook my head and chose my words.

Humans can form a family even if they are not connected by blood.

A child born from the heart. After roughly explaining this, Hellion nodded.

[I know what that means.]

Contrary to what he said he would understand, Hellion tilted his head again.

[Surely, humans are a stupid species.]

“suddenly?”

[It’s reckless for a guy who can’t take care of himself to raise someone else’s child. I can’t even laugh at your foolishness.]

I can’t make any excuses

There is also an embarrassing image of being chased by a pack of wolves.

[I will elaborate and ask only one question. It means no blood. Does that mean that there is no companion by your side?]

“What right now?”

Hellion nodded. The guy lets out a sigh of satisfaction.

[If that’s the case. Guide the way.]

“…?”

Walk in a different direction from the cave.

When the word to guide the way was added, a suspicion came to mind.

“You want to go to my house? Why?”

[If you take care of human children, who will be responsible for you, a weakling? I have no choice but to take care of myself as a babysitter.]

“Even if you look like this, you can keep one of my body.”

[Have you forgotten that you just begged for my life? It was pretty ugly.]

“…….”

I have nothing to say.

I followed Hellion as he walked silently.
