A few hours passed.
The date with Lise was awkward, unlike usual. Up until now, we had been comfortable with each other, but today it felt like we were a couple who had just started dating.
‘Well, what can I do?’
Sothing happened this morning, and thinking about it made my face flush. At the sa ti…
‘I’m feeling so awkward right now.’
Just as I was about to let the awkwardness sink in, Lise spoke.
“Young master, we’ve arrived.”
And just like that, the date with her ca to an end. I turned my head for a mont, and as expected, Lise looked slightly disappointed. Her expression showed that she didn’t want it to end like this.
“Young master.”
At that mont, in front of the inn, she turned her body away from .
Then—
Hug!
She suddenly embraced tightly. I didn’t shake her off. I just gently patted her on the top of her head.
“Young master… no, Kaine, I’ll stay like this for a while.”
“Mm…”
She was the first to call my na. It felt strange, but it wasn’t unpleasant. I hugged her for a while.
“Young master, I think it’s about ti to go inside.”
“Ah, yeah.”
Without realizing it, I was still holding her tightly. I nodded and slowly let go of my arms.
Then—
“Hm?!”
Just as I was feeling reluctant, she lightly kissed on the lips. Startled by the sudden kiss, she quickly pulled back and entered the building.
‘…I still can’t get used to this.’
Thinking that, I followed her inside.
.
.
.
Then it was the turn for Yong-yong.
However, Yong-yong had not co out of the egg yet.
‘Was this so kind of joke?’
Of course, she never gave a specific ti for when it would co out, so it’s not that what she said was wrong.
‘It should be about ti for it to hatch…’
It was later than I expected, which made worry a little.
While Kaine was getting anxious inside, Lise spoke.
“Young master, I think Yong-yong is about to co out.”
Before I could even think it, Lise had already delivered the news. I nodded and walked toward the room. As soon as I entered the room—
Crack!
The small round egg cracked.
Buzz!
The egg started vibrating like a phone with a notification. A mont later—
Crack!
The egg completely shattered, and a tiny dragon with a little tail and delicate wings appeared in my view.
‘…Seems like it can’t transform into an adult yet.’
It had plump baby cheeks. Bright, innocent eyes. Even though the cheeks hid part of its face, its features were quite clear. It had a little mole by its mouth. Its appearance now resembled a young child in kindergarten.
“Ugh…”
At that mont, Yong-yong waddled toward . It was still unable to speak properly, so it repeatedly opened and closed its mouth.
“…It’s cute.”
Lise, who was watching from the side, said with sparkling eyes. Kaine nodded as if agreeing.
‘Well, it’s definitely cute.’
I thought even the younger version of Kage was cute, but it had a bit of a seductive air to it. But this Yong-yong was simply adorable.
“Lise, do we have any clothes for kids?”
“Maybe. My junior probably has so.”
“Alright. In that case, could you call Kage for ?”
“Yes, understood.”
Lise nodded and left the room. She kept her eyes on Yong-yong, but unfortunately, Yong-yong didn’t pay any attention to her.
Screech.
Once Lise left the room completely.
“…”
“…”
A brief awkward silence passed between us. Well, it was bound to happen.
‘It can’t talk yet, right?’
It clearly wanted to say sothing, but all it could do was…
“Ugh…”
It kept opening and closing its mouth. I looked down at it and asked.
“Do you know today is the day we’re supposed to hang out together?”
Nod, nod.
Instead of responding, it moved its head up and down. I asked another question.
“Is there anything you want to do?”
“Aah…”
With a serious face, Yong-yong fell into deep thought. Soon, the words of that troubleso little brat crossed my mind.
-You can’t eat this, right? This is my owner’s favorite food. Hehehe.
Just thinking about it made feel irritated. In fact, I was a little annoyed with Yong-yong right now. It was nice that it learned polymorphing, but unlike my expectations, it couldn’t transform into an adult yet, and it couldn’t even talk properly.
“Ugh…”
Yong-yong was flapping its arms to explain the food I liked, but—
“Ugh…”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t getting through. I looked at it, scratched my chin, and then—
“Wait a second, Yong-yong.”
I took out a quill and a blank sheet of paper from the spatial ring.
“Write it down and explain it to .”
Nod, nod.
Yong-yong grabbed the quill with its little hand.
Then—
“Hmm?”
It tried to draw the food it was thinking about. I stared at the drawing with wide eyes. It was no surprise, though.
‘What kind of child…’
The child drew it so well that it was hard to believe it ca from a kid.
‘Is it because she’s a dragon?’
It was clear that she was fundantally different from humans from the very start.
Not long after, the drawing was completed. As Kaine looked at the finished drawing, he realized what she had been trying to explain.
“Ran?”
• Nod, nod, nod.
•
Determinedly, Yong-yong nodded frantically, as if confirming that was the correct answer.
Kaine then asked,
“Do you want to eat ran?”
• Nod, nod.
“Hmm…”
•
Kaine, who always carried ran with him just in case, never thought it would be eaten right now.
“Then, do you want to eat it here?”
• Shake, shake.
•
Yong-yong shook her head, seemingly not wanting to eat inside the accommodation.
“Then where do you want to eat it?”
“Uhh…”
Yong-yong seed to get an idea, as she suddenly raised her head, as if struck by a good thought.
“Ugh!”
She pointed to the forest outside the window.
‘Hmm. She must want to eat in the forest.’
It made sense. Her original species was a dragon, and naturally, she would prefer nature over this cramped building.
“Alright, then if Kage brings the clothes, we’ll go right away.”
“Ugh.”
Yong-yong’s eyes sparkled as she nodded enthusiastically.
At that mont,
• Clunk!
•
The door suddenly slamd open. Both Kaine and Yong-yong turned their heads.
Next mont,
“Ahahaha! So tiny!”
Kage burst into the room, laughing loudly. Yong-yong, upon hearing Kage’s mocking laughter,
• Shudder, shudder.
•
Her face flushed red as she trembled.
It seed that she had indeed transford using Polymorph to try and beco an adult.
“B…”
Yong-yong waddled over to Kage, and then extended her hand, seemingly asking for clothes.
“Hmmm, I’m a bit worried,” Kage muttered.
“…?”
Yong-yong tilted her head in confusion.
Kage, from his spatial ring, took out so clothes ant for children and then said,
“I wonder if this will fit you, especially around the chest area?”
She teased, pushing her chest out and mocking her in a high-pitched voice.
Next mont,
• Thwack!
•
Yong-yong, who had been holding back, finally snapped and kicked Kage in the shin with her small foot.
“Ahh!”
Kage scread in pain.
Kaine let out a deep sigh as he watched the situation unfold, looking at Kage as if he found the whole thing pitiful.
“Sigh. You should have been more careful.”
.
.
.
Once Yong-yong was ready, she and Kaine arrived in the forest. Kaine quickly unpacked a bowl, ran, and other items from his spatial ring and began preparing the al.
Before long, the ran was ready.
• Drip!
•
The savory aroma of the ran made Yong-yong drool.
“Myaa…”
Eager to eat, Yong-yong’s eyes shone brightly as she stretched both of her hands forward.
Kaine, serving the ran into the bowl, handed it to her along with a fork.
• Shake, shake.
•
Yong-yong shook her head, clearly not wanting the fork.
“Do you want to eat with chopsticks instead?”
• Nod, nod.
•
True to her dragon nature, she didn’t want to use the fork and wanted to use chopsticks instead.
Kaine figured that, since dragons learn quickly, she might be able to use chopsticks right away.
“Here you go.”
Kaine handed her the chopsticks, and without hesitation, Yong-yong accepted them.
Then,
• Tap!
•
As she tried to pick up the ran with the chopsticks, it didn’t go as planned.
• Tap, tap, tap, tap.
•
She only tapped the bowl but couldn’t grab any noodles.
“Ugh…”
Yong-yong pouted her lips and glared at the ran with frustrated eyes.
Watching this, Kaine offered her the fork again.
“Just eat it with this,” he said.
• Shake, shake.
•
Yong-yong refused again, shaking her head as if she truly didn’t want to use the fork. Finally, Kaine sighed.
“Well, you have to try eating sohow.”
He picked up so ran with the chopsticks and held it in front of her face. At the sa ti,
“Ah…”
Yong-yong opened her mouth, seemingly okay with him feeding her even though she didn’t want the fork. She slurped up the noodles from the chopsticks.
• Munch, munch.
•
With the noodles in her cheeks, Yong-yong chewed, and then suddenly,
• Whoosh!
•
Her face turned red as she quickly swallowed the noodles, flailing her arms around.
It seed the ran was a bit too spicy for her.
“Yong-yong, here’s so water.”
• Shake, shake, shake.
•
When Kaine offered her water, Yong-yong shook her head in refusal. Then, glaring at the ran and the bowl with fierce eyes,
“Ugh!”
As if determined, she pushed the bowl back toward Kaine.
That day, Yong-yong managed to adapt to using chopsticks and eating ran in just one day.

anwhile, at the secret base of the Cult, Andrew was deep in thought.
‘What should I do?’
There was so much to deal with right now. From Jade, who seed to be acting suspiciously, to Kaine, who was increasing humanity’s strength.
Not to ntion,
‘The Duke. This guy seems to be up to sothing too.’
Having sowhat aligned with the Duke, Andrew could sense his intentions, but he thought,
‘As long as I don’t push things too far, I should be okay.’
At the mont, the Duke couldn’t really do anything either.
First, he had to deal with Jade and Kaine, who were more urgent problems.
‘Is there a way I can eliminate these two without losing anything…’
At that mont, a simple idea ca to Andrew’s mind.
“Ah!”
He realized,
‘Why didn’t I think of this?’
There was a very simple way to put out the urgent fire without suffering any losses. The solution was clear:
‘I can just order Jade to assassinate Kaine directly.’
Of course, just this wouldn’t guarantee both of them would die. However,
‘At least I wouldn’t lose anything.’
If Jade died, he would be a traitor, so nothing would be lost. Even if Jade succeeded in the assassination, Kaine’s death would be a relief.
‘I hope both of them self-destruct… but…’
That seed a bit too greedy, and even if Jade survived, he could still kill him once he returned.
“Ahhahahaha!!”
With that thought, Andrew felt great all day, as he had co up with a thod he hadn’t considered before. Yet, he still believed Jade was a traitor.
