Chapter 475

Episode 475 A Man and a Woman (2)

After leaving the hall of the temple, they arrive in a room where two sisters are staying together.

A dragon priestess pen that engraved the dragon’s blessing on me.

And former expedition mate Lavien.

“…are you here?”

The little dragon Fen glanced at me as I entered after knocking, and then withdrew his gaze coldly.

‘This isn’t even an adolescent kid.’

Still, it’s not that I can’t look at you if you want to look cute.

Didn’t I hear from Uncle Yong and Ravien that he was very depressed after being informed that I was dead?

‘I heard you came to tell me something new next time…’ He said—.

“… Huh? What did you just say?”

“Have you heard that… again…?”

“What did you just say?”

When I lowered my voice and spoke again, the pen raised his voice with a slightly intimidated look.

“Why why…! I just said that there was no way I was looking at the wrong person by looking at his face!”

It was an outright lie.

It wasn’t just a face, though I’d heard clearly that it was ‘that ugly face’.

“Phenitasaurus.”

“…Is it Penitaseauros?”

“I think I forgot about it in a few years, so I’ll say it again, but I’m not ugly, I’m manly-looking. Got it?”

After that, as I stared aimlessly, the answer finally came back.

“……okay.”

Yeah, I’m going to admit it in the end, but I’m messing around.

I think the ordering is over. I said hello to Ravien, who was next to me.

“Anyway, it’s been a while for you too. Ravien.”

“The two of you… You look closer than I thought?”

“Being close. I only saw him once when I received the blessing before.”

“But you were probably the last for Penn. To meet someone outside the clan, not someone within the family.”

what would it be

How many outsiders will come to this dragon temple?

First of all, after sitting in an empty seat at the table where the two sisters are sitting, I asked what I was curious about.

“But looking at the reaction earlier, it seems like they know I’m coming, right?”

“…Yeah. I heard it from my father.”

“When?”

“While I was having a conversation with Yandel, you can hear my father’s voice everywhere.”

In addition to the space movement system’s dragon language, it also has the ability to function as a voice message, isn’t it? It seems that Mr. Yong’s talents are more diverse than I thought…

“So, how far did you hear?”

“How far did you hear? Just because you came and you’re leaving soon, I was told to wait? Ah! I told you to hear that I have good news.”

Hee hee, this uncle.

“So what? Good news?”

Soon the pen looked at me with curious eyes.

As I avoided my gaze, Lavien’s eyes met, and she shrugged.

It was difficult to understand the emotions of the Yongin people.

Why are you entrusting such an important event to me, an outsider?

‘Yeah, it’s not difficult.’

Procrastinating here is also funny, so I just told the truth as it is.

“I killed the dragon slayer and brought you the heart.”

There were so many things in the process, but in the end, the story will end with this one sentence.

“…what?”

However, since it seemed that the dragon didn’t understand this one sentence at all, he repeated the same words again.

“It’s just that. I gave the heart to your father, so you’ll soon be able to recover.”

“…Huh sister?”

“It’s true, so you can believe it. Pen.”

“…….”

Soon after, her sister’s verification was added, but the pen was still confused. Was it too sudden a gift to be purely delighted with?

“…….”

Finally, after a while of being in a daze, Pen finally came to his senses and opened his mouth.

“………thank you.”

It was as if I had to retract what I had previously said about my lack of home schooling.

Mr. Yong and him too.

Saying thank you is really sincere.

feel sorry for people

“Of course, even if he recovers, there won’t be much of a big change right away.

“…Circumstances? What do you mean?”

While I was away, I directly talked to Mr. Yong about the things he had asked me to do.

The fact that I killed the dragon slayer is a secret for the time being.

So even if you recover, until then, you have to hide in this temple…

Even the ancient dragon agreed to that.

“I’m sorry. I’m sure no one would be as sick of this place as you, but I’m asking you—”

“are you okay.”

said the pen, cutting off my apologetic words.

“I don’t mind if I stay here.”

Not empty words, but a sincere voice.

Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand.

“Huh? Life here isn’t too bad, since meals are served on time and all you have to do is play every day without any worries—”

“What are you talking about, you idiot.”

“…wasn’t that the reason?”

The pen looked at me and let out a deep sigh.

“Can that be? I’m sick of this place, too. I want to smell the wild flowers and run aimlessly in the wind. But…” Soon

after, Penn, who had been blurting his words, said, clenching his small fists tightly.

“Because now my father doesn’t have to be here all the time because of me. I’ll be free to go where I want to go and see what I want to see.”

It was a completely unexpected answer for me.

“So that’s enough.”

Because it’s a family……

For some reason, I was a little curious.

“Thank you for saving Yandel’s father.”

What is it like to have a family like this?

***

After that, Penn said he was going to rest first to see if he needed time to think alone, and left the room.

not bad.

I still had something to say to him.

“Lavien.”

“I’m listening, so tell me.”

“Why is it so hard to see your face?”

“That… what does that mean?”

Um did I say too much?

I thought it was a sensitive topic, but like a barbarian, I decided to ask directly.

“It means why you didn’t attend the after party. Seeing you in person, you didn’t seem to be that busy.”

“I heard that Titana and Akurava-san were also absent.”

“Well that’s it.”

I nodded and continued.

“But she’s really busy.”

The answer came after a bit of an awkward pause.

“……I was busy too.”

“Is that so? Then it can’t be helped.”

“So, what I’m curious about is this?”

Lavien calmly nodded and sipped her tea, returning with a more comfortable voice.

Did you really think I would pass with those words?

“Lavien, I’m fine, so tell me honestly. Have you changed your mind?”

The subject was omitted, but there was no one here who could not understand the words.

“No. I haven’t changed my mind.”

“Really? It looked like you were trying to distance yourself from us as soon as I got back to the city—.”

“That’s because it wasn’t the same idea from the beginning.”

Hey, can you see him?

“We didn’t think the same thing from the beginning…”

Lavien finally opened her mouth in a reluctant voice as she shot a look that required an explanation.

“When I think of the crew members who died in that cold place, of course I feel sad. I feel anger at the marquis and even the royal family for making it happen.”

“however?”

“That’s all. Not everyone in the world is like you, Yandel.”

Unfortunately, it was not an illusion that Lavien seemed to distance himself from us after returning to the city.

The reason was also not different from what I had expected.

“No matter how much affection they’ve had over the years, to be honest, they’re just people who went on an expedition together once.”

I wouldn’t know if it was a family.

The family isn’t even dead.

And that’s why.

“If you ask me if that incident is worth taking my all for revenge, my answer is no, it’s not.”

Lavien set aside emotions and made a realistic decision.

Actually, this was a normal reaction.

Even if a family member died, if that person was a king, most would not even dream of revenge.

“I see… Thank you. It must have been embarrassing for you to be honest about your thoughts.”

“…I’m sorry to say this. But among the remaining survivors, there must be at least one more person who thinks the same as me. It’s just that everyone can’t speak because of that atmosphere.”

well that would be

Because even when it is hot, it becomes cold, and when it is cold, it becomes hot in an instant.

“I take the advice.”

“…It’s surprising. I thought you’d scream out loud that you’re a traitor.”

“You’re not going to change your mind just because of that, are you? If you could change it, you’d scream a hundred times.”

“Is that so… is it…….”

Lavien stared at the floor like a frustrated person.

I finished all the things I had to say coolly, and the conversation ended without any fuss.

“…….”

I couldn’t keep my gaze as if I wanted to say something right now.

He seemed to know roughly how it felt.

Because I was like him at one time.

“I’ve been advised by Labyen, so I’ll give you one too.”

“tell.”

“If everyone was rational like you that day, none of us would have come back alive.”

There is no right answer in this world.

There is only choice.

***

“Come back if you change your mind later. You’re always welcome.”

After those words, as she was about to leave the room, Ravien muttered a word.

“…Your father is still in a meeting.”

“Oh yes.”

Eventually, awkwardly hesitantly sipping tea and passing the time, he teleported home using the returned Mr. Yong’s words.

As much as I went out early in the morning, it was just after noon when I came back…

“Mister! You’re here!”

“…You came early. They said you might be late.”

Amelia and Erwen came out to meet me right away.

“Ah, it ended earlier than expected. But how did this happen here?”

I asked, pointing to the ground with my finger.

The vacant lot, which had been overgrown with weeds until I left, had been remodeled before I knew it.

As if the line was drawn, half of it was a garden full of bushes, and the other half was decorated like a training ground.

“This…? That’s how it turned out. It looks a bit ugly, but… there’s no other way, right?”

“One person can’t take it alone, so the two have to share it.”

After fighting for a few days over what to use as a training ground for a garden, it seems that in the end this kind of compromise was reached.

“How was Yandel’s meal?”

“All I did was pick up a few snacks and eat them. What about you?”

“Not yet!”

“Then we can eat together.”

I wanted to eat out together for the first time in a while, but the answer came back saying that Auyen was already preparing a meal.

At first I didn’t understand what he was talking about.

“That guy cooks…?”

“Didn’t you know? The dinner you had yesterday was also prepared by him.

” “…I thought it was bought from outside… No, but there’s no kitchen here, is there?”

Amelia looked at me pitifully at my sharp question.

“It’s been some time since I turned a room on the first floor into a kitchen. Didn’t you know that yet?”

“…….”

“I know Yandel is busy, but you need to pay some attention to the house too.”

There was nothing to say.

You must have had a good rest at home recently.

Anyway, Amelia As I moved along the 1st floor, an empty office on the first floor had been turned into a kitchen.

“Ah, you are here, Captain!”

Auyen greeted me while wearing a white cook uniform. I glanced to the side and saw that the finished dish was served on a white plate. ”

Come over here, mister. If you sit down, this person will take care of everything for you.”

“Uh… is that so?”

What is Auyen’s job? From

a sailor to a coachman to a cook.

‘…Are you good at everything except fighting?’

Once again, I realized the truth that strength is the best. If I did

n’t have strength, wouldn’t this guy laugh and cook here

?

The liver fits very well. There are many side dishes with meat.”

“The mistresses always instructed us to prepare plenty, as we do not know when the captain will come.”

” …Madam?

”

Auyen flinched.

However, he seemed to know that it was a mistake, so he did not point it out and focused on the meal.

And how long had passed?

“Leave it alone. I’ll clean it up.”

After the meal, Auyen went to collect the dishes.

It was a very strange feeling.

Should I say that I really feel like a noble being treated like this at my house?

“Mister, don’t you have another schedule today?

” yes? I’ve been empty all day just in case.” “Then…

would

you like a cup of tea in my garden?

”

Is it?”

Erwen said harshly, but brewed tea leaves. Afterwards, the three of us chatted while enjoying tea and refreshments. The

fence blocking the view from the outside felt cozy, and the languid afternoon sunlight was warm.

Really . It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a break.

‘It’s nice……’

Erwen chatted about this and that next to him, and Amelia intertwined and argued with each other, but it only felt comfortable

. Maybe it’s because I ‘ve

become too tired?

“Family…”

The thought came out of my mouth without me

noticing .

……?” Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“……?”

The two of them, who had been arguing for a while, shut their mouths at the same time, and silence came.

“……What did Yandel just say?”

“Yes. Uncle, what did you just

say?”

The two of them, forgetting their fight, asked me in

unison

. You must have muttered, ‘It’s a family…’.”

“I heard that too. What the hell did he mean by that?”

Hey, he accidentally said that. I

think the word came out while I was thinking about the most impressive little dragon of the day…

“Just.”

I said I sighed and replied,

“I wonder if it would be like this if I had a family.”

A straight and honest answer.

The two people who had been persistently asking why were silent after hearing my answer.

“…….”

“ …….”

If you do that, it really makes the atmosphere weird…….

As I was about to open my mouth to change the subject, Erwen suddenly changed his gaze and broke the silence and muttered in a small voice.

“… … the left

wall.”

The

left

wall

?

Let’s go out together.”

“Okay.”

Without me doing anything, the two women who counted three inside jumped out and moved to the fence.

And…….

“Eh?!”

In an instant After finishing the cooperative hunt, I caught someone hiding by the fence like

a trophy

.

.”

Erwen’s expression was colder than ever.

“Aha ahaha…”

The prey, who had been overpowered and fell to the ground, looked at me and let out an awkward laugh.

“Oh, it’s been a while… Bjor… oops!”

The prey making a painful expression as if chewing its tongue while pronouncing it clearly.

“…….” “…….”

”

…….”

It was Misha.
