Chapter.38 Without you
A dragon is so weak to alcohol.
After patting his back, he laid him back on the floor.
I was completely wrong.
Dragons do not live on alcohol like dwarves. Rather, they are a race that enjoys drinking with dignity.
So I recomnded it because I thought dragons are strong against alcohol, but it was a failure.
“Nenoom.”
“Why again? Lie down for a bit. “Stop stumbling.”
Rurin stumbled and fell in front of . I didn’t an to, but I ended up hugging Rurin in front of , and Rurin looked up at .
There is no prohibition against touching.
I heard you can’t do anything except your husband?
“really… Is it my pyeon? really… oh? “Is it my pyeon?”
My tongue is twisted and my pronunciation is ssed up. It’s amazing that I can still understand it though.
“I’m on your side. Is that so? “I’ve told you so many tis over the past two months, but you still don’t believe ?”
“My pyeon…” It’s my favorite! you are strange but… It’s my favorite… “Really?”
How many tis do you use the word really?
A typical characteristic of drunk people is repeating what they said endlessly.
It’s absolutely not okay to pretend to be drunk.
“Really. “Lurin.”
“Aren’t you going to betray ? Don’t betray … .”
“Of course.”
“Okay… nine… Gororong… .”
The dragon who was talking about betrayal had already fallen asleep.
And when I woke up and couldn’t rember anything, it resembled a very common scene at a company dinner.
***
Another few months passed like that. Life is the sa. It’s windy and rainy, we eat together and sleep together.
Rather, it was a good day because it was ordinary.
Dragons appeared again. Black Dragon. It’s a guy nad Drin and his colleagues who have been harassing Lulin from the beginning.
When you defeat him, he appears periodically like a local gangster who shows up with more friends.
This ti, I made a lot of noise and ca out, and surprisingly, they didn’t bring more dragons.
No, that wouldn’t be possible.
However, I glared at them, wondering what they ant by just the two of us. Then they also point at Lurin and laugh.
“Kkeukkeuk, your expression is so proud?”
“noisy! I will kill you soday. Soday! “When I beco stronger!”
“That day will never co. Lurin. Have you finally co to your senses?”
“Didn’t you hear what your elders said? “Don’t co here?”
“I heard.”
“Oh yeah? “Then, even if I kill you this ti, it’s in self-defense.”
I started popping the plasma. Powerful mana gathers around . Then the dragons flapped their wings with a puzzled expression.
“Wait a minute, I know your skills. I didn’t co here to fight. “Is that so?”
“Yeah, whatever.”
The two dragons were giggling as they looked at each other. Then he ignores and speaks condescendingly to Rurin the whole ti.
“Lurin. “Do you think the guy next to him is on your side?”
“I know. Where is the sa side for a dirty bastard like you? No matter how insignificant a human being is… There is no such thing. There is none. Lurin! Hehehe, isn’t that right, Lurin?”
One of the dragons held his stomach and started giggling. It’s like they can’t see it at all. Thinking that I should burn it down, I took a step forward.
“You didn’t co here to fight? “So you ca to die?”
“Wait a mont, human! “We are just talking to Rurin!”
“I don’t like it! “I have nothing to say!”
Then Lurin also glared at them and scread. No, I knew that they were the ones who destroyed the rare, so I had a strong spirit from the beginning.
Of course, I want to kill those guys, but I wonder if they attack first. If I attack first, a serious situation will arise in the black dragon’s territory.
No matter how much I do, I can’t deal with all of them. There are only about 10 that can be defeated at once.
The elder has asked to do sothing, so this is sothing the elder has to solve, and I’m just at the mont thinking that I should kick these guys out and argue with the elder one more ti.
“Do you know what that person’s intentions are? The reason I approached a dragon like you in the first place was because of your mother’s dirty deeds? He said he ca to the elder and asked about it before he t you. Well, you must be interested in dragon beads. So I’m just using you for the dragon orbs. Team up with the elder, team up with other dragons. Do you understand? I guess I was tricked into staying with that guy because he said sothing treacherous… Hehehe, that’s what you look like. Isn’t that right, Drin?”
“Okay, okay. “That is correct.”
“… … ?”
Lulin glared at them with the intention of shooting his breath, but then stopped.
Then, he turned his young gaze away from the dragon. The person the gaze was directed at was .
I used my mana to deal with those guys first.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A huge explosion occurred where they were standing, sending them fluttering and flying high into the sky.
“Ouch! The power of this One Rod is strong. Sheesh. “Well, since I made Rurin aware of my situation, shall I go back?”
“Of course. “I’ll see you when Niess cos back, Lurin.”
Of course, I have no intention of spending it kindly. Plasma breaks explode all over their path.
-Kaaaaaaaa!
“So let’s jump a little faster!”
“My wings are burning. “It’s so hot it’s killing !”
The two dragons roared and ran away.
Is tornting Rurin the only joy in life? Besides, I’m embarrassed to say such nonsense.
You’re not a snitch, but you’re telling everything? Are you saying you’re going to torture Rurin by giving her ntal trauma?
If that’s the goal, the problem is that it seems to have worked well.
Of course, the reason I ca to Lurin in the first place was to hear from Lulin, who would know the details of the incident most clearly, for Rod’s howork.
It doesn’t change the fact that I still have to listen to it now.
You may not know it at first, but there’s no way you could have stayed with Lulin for several months just because of that.
But Lulin ignored . He turned his back and started walking towards the lair without saying a word.
I think he glanced at and gave a cold gaze that took my breath away.
“Lurin… . Lurin!”
I shouted, holding Lurin’s wrist as she walked.
“Do not touch.”
“Lurin, you sure don’t believe what they say, do you?”
“Then isn’t it?”
Lurin let out a cold sigh without turning her head towards . The cold seeps deep into my bones. Like drinking ice water from the freezer.
“I’m not stupid.”
“No, no. “It’s not like that.”
“What is it?”
I guess the reason I fell for the dragons’ words was because I was hasty in bringing up the story of her mother. I think that served as a point of reference.
“What are you planning with the elder? Neither the elders nor my fellow countryn are on my side. So, there is no way you, the guy who was fooling around with them, is on my side. You’re fooling . You’re fooling . You said you wouldn’t betray… It’s the sa as the other guys. No, it’s worse!”
“No, I’ve never done anything with the elder. I’ve asked a few questions… .”
“Now that you are talking about your relationship with the elder… Then the elder ca here… “Did the elder send you?”
“Uh, that’s… “Well, to put it bluntly, it’s true.”
“Is it because of the dragon beads that you too? Because of that… Is it all because of the dragon beads that you cook for ? Mom said that. Because of that, countless dragons die. Because of the greed to get it. You and you… .”
“wait for a sec. Lurin.”
I stopped in front of Lurin, who was saying sothing incomprehensible. And then he looked straight into Lulin’s eyes.
“Do you really think that? Do you really think I stayed by your side like this just to take advantage of you? If that were the case, there would have been many other ways. I just want you to… .”
“I?”
I want to watch and protect everything about Rurin.
It is true that I have many different emotions.
A relationship where you feel a sense of kinship. Just like a younger sister.
However, even if I say ambiguous words that even I don’t know well, I can’t even get my head around it. you… What do you an? First of all, I changed my mind.
“Anyway, think about it carefully. Okay, let’s make a bet so that you can decide after thinking about it calmly. “It’s the last bet.”
“hate! “You said with your own mouth that the elder sent you!”
“Listen! I’ll be honest. It’s true that the reason I first ca to see you was because of your mother’s work.
But it’s not for the reason you think. It was a request from the Dragon Lord involved in that incident, and it was also a way to restore your mother’s honor.
I didn’t explain it to you in advance because I thought you wouldn’t believe it like you do now, but please believe .
And even if it wasn’t for that reason, it was fun being with you! Wasn’t it you? Was it really that annoying? No!
If it felt like you were just bothering until the end, I would have left already. “I just have to get that information from sowhere else!”
“… … .”
I beca passionate without realizing it.
Lulin just blinked. No response whatsoever.
First, I took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“So it’s a bet. Think of it as your last bet. I’ll wait by the lake until dawn. If you don’t co, it’s your victory. I’m leaving. If you co… It’s my victory. Then I won’t leave.”
Lurin did not answer. He didn’t even nod his head.
But I said everything I had to say. There is nothing more to say here. If it doesn’t co, it ans that the ti we spent so far has no aning.
It went into rare. I packed my luggage. I carried my backpack and headed out to Rare. Lulin stood still and said nothing.
So I walked without saying anything.
To the lakeside.
***
Since I’ve been here since the afternoon, quite a bit of ti has already passed.
The deadline is early morning.
Yes, it is dawn now.
The satellites of this world are very similar to the moon. It was now shining at a size similar to the full moon.
No, it’s a little bigger than the full moon.
It’s as big as witnessing a supermoon.
A satellite of this unnad planet.
Earth’s satellite is the moon.
The light of a similar satellite shines softly on the lakeside. A group of lights splitting the darkness dazzles the eyes.
There is still no sign of the black dragon.
Even the human figure.
Also the appearance of a dragon.
The guy who said he hadn’t smiled in hundreds of years had never smiled at either.
I had a small wish to make that face smile.
He’s a stubborn guy.
Are you really thinking of not showing up?
I looked around.
There is no pretense of animal popularity. Soon the world before my eyes becos very quiet.
When I look at the calm lakeside, I feel like I’m going to be sucked in. I couldn’t sleep.
Ti continues to pass.
In this darkness that is not that dark due to the light of the round moon floating in the sky.
I was quietly killing ti.
Dawn is fading away. When the sun rises and morning cos.
The chirping sound of birds ca to the calm lakeside at dawn.
