Episode 299
Is it because Velvet stared at me with her eyes shining?
‘It’s velvet!’
Kim Eun-ah soon found Velvet crying in the corner with wet eyes.
Kokkok –
Sumire discovers Velvet belatedly when Kim Eun-a stabs her with her index finger.
‘velvet!’
Seeing Velvet crying, Sumire put on a distressed expression as if she was filled with emotion.
“This is where the last server unit is. Then check it out...”
Whieing-!
Before the researcher could finish speaking, the pocket on his wrist vibrated.
“Excuse me, but I’ll take the call.”
The volume of the call set by the researcher was not too loud, but the contents of the call resonated throughout the laboratory because the other person was screaming so loudly.
– Good thing I got suspicious and checked it out! There are fakes out there! The server management staff hasn’t even arrived yet!
flinch.
At the word fake, the eyes of all the researchers in the lab gathered together, and one of them screamed loudly.
“What are you guys really like?!”
However, ordinary people could not follow the movements of hunter Kim Eun-ah and Sumire.
Pajik-!
The blue spark generated by Kim Eun-ah’s hand gesture instantly shocked the researcher.
“My body doesn’t move...”
The researcher, whose body stiffened, fell to the floor. Kim Eun-ah shifted her gaze to other researchers.
“There will be no big crowd. Of course, I wouldn’t be able to move for at least 3 minutes. We do not want to fight you.”
“...that’s right. We just want the velvet back.”
Let Sumire emit purple mana from the back of her hand.
Gooh-
The skeletons that broke through the ceramic floor began to subdue the researchers in an instant.
“They are ordinary people. Please subdue it so as not to get hurt.”
‘...I have no intention of hurting ordinary people. If I use a weapon like that, I have no choice but to defend myself.’
Seeing that she is making up her mind while keeping the worst-case scenario in mind, Kim Eun-ah must have had a profound influence on Shin Yoo-sung.
“I repeat. We’re leaving here with only Velvet. I have no desire to fight with you.”
Kim Eun-ah, who found Velvet, tried to calm her down somehow, but Finan screamed.
“If you want to go like that, leave this dragon behind! Do you know what you guys are doing?”
Regina tried to stop the excited Finan. Fainan shouted with more strength in the hand holding the gun.
“No, you don’t know anything! What a great value to that dragon! What an important creature to mankind!”
Sumire, who had been patting Velvet’s back at Fainan’s angry cry, stood up without saying a word.
Sumire, who had a terrifying expression on her face that even Kim Eun-ah, who had been hanging out with all along, had never seen before, said so sternly as she looked at Finan.
“...As you say, we don’t know about that. I don’t want to know, and it doesn’t matter if I don’t know for the rest of my life. What we do know... is that Velvet is our family.”
Regina averted her gaze at Sumire’s words. They had Velvet for the purpose of protection, but they were looking at Velvet as a sample of a dragon.
‘There’s really nothing we can teach you. If you really want to infiltrate this dragon into human society. Perhaps being with them would be much more helpful.’
Regina stared at Finan with her mouth shut.
“Didn’t you see the measurement result!? That dragon is dangerous! It’s only us who can take advantage of that dangerous fellow! Your playing house is not important!”
As a researcher, Regina agreed with Finan’s words, but it was a very human point of view.
Can a dragon, cut off from society and living only in a laboratory, really mingle with humans 10 years from now?
‘Even if animals born in zoos or research centers and protected are returned to the wild, most die without being able to adapt. Would that be different for a dragon?’
As a researcher, Regina was well aware of the astronomical value of Velvet’s existence. That’s why he understood better than anyone why Finan was obsessed with Velvet.
“Finone... No matter how you think about it, this isn’t it. We have no right to do that. So...”
The moment Regina put her hand to the gun to stop Finan.
Click-!
Fainan, who unknowingly pulled the trigger, shook his head with a shocked expression.
“This is...”
In the midst of the first encounter and the tremendous tension, Finan accidentally pulled the trigger.
Wheein-!
Thanks to this, black particles quickly gathered in front of the muzzle.
Ji-ik-!
Let the laser emit light at a tremendous speed before it can even react. Sensing the danger, Velvet screamed at her throat.
“Ee-e-e-!”
