Episode 368:
Jewel of Mortality The Curse of the Neptune King.
Morgan’s necklace Aurora.
Shin Ha-yoon found two of the three artifacts he needed for his plan. Now, the last remaining part is a dragon heart with vast amounts of mana to fuel the curse.
“hi?”
Shin Ha-yoon approached Velvet and smiled. Velvet, who was diligently picking up the stone, tilted her head.
“Kyahang! hi-!”
While walking around with Orca and picking up stones, many people showed interest in Velvet. Thanks to this, Velvet thought Shin Ha-yoon was one of those students.
“I am Yooseong’s older sister. Do you know?”
However, when Shin Ha-yoon said that they were Shin Yoo-seong’s family, Velvet’s ears perked up as if intrigued.
“Hogeuk Daddy’s older sister!?”
“I guess you didn’t tell me that either. okay. I think it can’t be helped, but...”
Shin Ha-yoon covered her mouth to hold back laughter as Velvet looked at her with ears pricked up.
What could be easier than tricking a child into stealing candy? Tricking a young dragon into stealing the dragon heart’s mana was no different.
“huh! Dad hasn’t told Velvet yet...”
“It has no choice but to be. Because Yooseong hates me.”
To Velvet, Shin Yoo-seong was always a caring father. Shin Yoo-seong hates someone and his family? As Velvet, whose expression became serious, began to focus on the story, Shin Ha-yoon said with a sad face.
“Understand me and my parents... We made a really big mistake with Yooseong, who was a child.”
“Oh Dad!? How nice my dad is.... I can’t help him!”
At the story that Shin Ha-yoon had done something wrong with Shin Yoo-seong, Velvet made a disapproving expression with an ax eye. This is the expression and gesture Kim Eun-ah shows when she is upset, and Velvet seems to have learned it over her shoulder.
“That’s right. Really nice, stupidly nice. So I really want to apologize from my side.”
Shin Ha-yoon held out the prepared glass heart and asked Velvet carefully.
“Can you help me?”
Velvet resembled Shin Yoosung and Sumire in this respect. He was kind to everyone and never passed by those who were in trouble.
“A gift to apologize to Dad... Kyahang Good! Sumire’s mom did that! If you do something wrong, you should apologize!”
Velvet confidently placed her hand on her waist and proudly waggled her tail like a puppy.
“Ask Velvet for anything! Velvet is a genius!”
“okay? thank you so much. You definitely resemble Yooseong.”
Shin Ha-yoon laughed out loud, wondering why she was so happy to see Velvet like that.
“...Even the stupidly nice and useless parts.”
Shin Ha-yoon brought the glass heart to Velvet. The glass heart that touched the clothes disappeared as it was absorbed into Velvet’s body in an instant.
thump!
Velvet sat down on the spot.
“Kya-kya-hyang? Wow, Velvet’s body is weird, mana is down...”
“Come on, little master!?”
The orca, noticing the abnormality, threw down the pile of stones she was holding and rushed with her fins, but the situation was already over.
“Ah, by the way, the mistake I made was throwing away Yooseong. I believed it to be a defective product... but I’m regretting it because it’s so much more competent than I thought.”
Velvet held her body with both hands and twisted her legs with a squeaking sound.
“Ugh, Orca hurts... I’m going to lose my strength...”
“What the hell are you! What have you done to the little master!”
Bu-wook-
The doll was torn and fluff was sticking out here and there. Under the influence of Shin Ha-yoon’s rough mana, Toy King’s mana shattered like a glass marble.
But that was enough.
For a happy toy, there was something that could be done with incomplete mana and a dizzy mind for a friend.
shhh!
Toy King went into the glass heart in Velvet’s body. The glass heart possessed by Toy King slipped out of Velvet’s body.
Even as mana scatters and the form disappears, Toiking has pulled the glass heart out of Velvet’s body as a last wish.
“Keugh-! This fucking trash! I’ve only absorbed about 70% yet!”
Shin Ha-yoon gnashed his teeth and ran wild at the fact that his plan was interrupted by toying.
Was it because he thought the life of a toy that saved a friend was more meaningful than a toy that lost a friend?
Toy King sacrificed himself to save Velvet. Shin Ha-yoon looked down on the bond as stupid, but Toy King valued it more than life.
“Tsk... But if it’s 70%, I can cover it with other artifacts.”
The moment Shin Ha-yoon picks up the glass heart that fell on the floor, leaving her regret behind.
chin!
After coming to her senses, Velvet grabbed Shin Ha-yoon’s hand.
“An eyepatch... return the orca... return my friend...”
Do you know what situation you are in? Shin Ha-yoon looked at Velvet and laughed.
To a dragon, mana is like blood.
The fact that 70% of Dragon Heart’s mana was taken away meant that his life was on the verge of danger. To Shin Ha-yoon, Velvet’s life looked like a dying ember.
widely!
Shin Ha-yoon, who savagely slashed Velvet’s hand, held up the glass heart and held it up to the sunlight. The dragon’s high concentration of mana, which emitted light like a rainbow through transparent glass, was a great treasure Shin Ha-yoon could not obtain even when he was a witch.
“Um...don’t be lonely. Won’t you follow the trash doll soon?”
Velvet looked at Shin Ha-yoon’s back as he walked away. Then, instead of the pain of having his mana taken away, he wept bitterly for his friend.
“Kyaouu Orca... Whip...”
However, no matter how much Velvet sniffed, nothing changed. The soul of a precious friend was contained in a glass heart, and the spark of life left in Velvet was slowly extinguishing.
* * *
Commercial genius Kim Jin-seong of class B.
Hwang In-yeong of Class B, a stuffed toy master.
Even during vacation, the two of them wandered around the empty Gaon site and worked hard to make even better stuffed toys.
“I didn’t want to spend this golden vacation at school. Aaah- you can do this kind of walk on weekdays as well!”
“Or you can’t observe on weekdays. In order to make cute stuffed toys, we need to get hints from nature.”
However, what Hwang In-yeong found was not the inspiration to make a new stuffed toy, but the remains of an orca scattered here and there.
“Oh my God, my masterpiece Orca is torn.”
On the other hand, Kim Jin-seong shouted as he saw Velvet collapsed shortly after.
“That’s not the problem! Velvet here! Haven’t you met a wild beast!?”
“Hey, it’s true. What should I do with this!?”
“First of all, Yooseong... Oh no, first the hospital!”
Velvet, who lost consciousness at the loud noise of the two, struggled to open her eyes. Smart Velvet knew that her condition was not something a hospital could treat.
“...Kyahoo cool! I take Velvet to Daddy.”
Now, the priority was to tell Shin Yoo-seong about the situation.
