Book 5: Chapter 103

Gloria stared at the screen of light in front of her. Not only could she see an image from far away, but she could also hear the sounds the people on the screen were making. Her gaze shifted onto the goat standing on her brothers head, and she couldnt help but think of her own summon. Daniel was fluffy and cute and perfect to hug, but his ability didnt seem to be as useful as Kozabokgets. In fact, she hadnt even tried it yet. Her grandma told her Daniel could shake the earth; however, Gloria didnt want to startle anything by doing that.

As I thought, these people are up to no good, Ramon said and bobbed his head up and down.

Thanks to Ramons comment, Glorias attention was once again drawn by the screen. Wagons were setting off from the boat, and sticking out from some of the wagons were sharp-tipped objectslarge sharp-tipped objects, the kind that could poke a hole in a dragon. Along with the humans talking about hunting a dragon, it was quite obvious what this group was planning to do. If one of those things hits us, itll hurt a lot.

Just dont get hit, Ramon said and rolled his eyes. You have wings and legs. Use them. He cleared his throat. Mr. Light, can you show us the humans who are traveling separately from the large group?

The screen didnt budge. Ramon rolled his eyes up to look at Kozabokget. The pink-eyed goat shrugged. Try giving it mana. Since the light knows you can give it mana, its definitely not going to do anything for you for free now. Its almost like a person that way.

Ramon cast a heal spell at the screen. As soon as the heal dispersed, the image shifted. It showed two humans, a man and a woman, walking around, seemingly, with no goal in mind. There, Ramon said and pointed at the screen while speaking to Gloria. Were going to capture those two humans.

Gloria tilted her head. And then?

What do you mean? Ramon asked. Once we capture them, well take them back to Grandma, and shell realize how strong I am, and I wont have to study anymore!

I dont think capturing two humans will prove how strong you are, Gloria said. If anything, Grandma will probably scold you for playing around. You already have proof that humans are hunting dragons; you can show her this screen.

Ramon furrowed his brow. You think so? he asked. Although he didnt want to admit his sister was right, she did know their grandma better. Then, Ill have to capture all the humans, not just those two? Its a bit harder, but if I bite off their legs, they wont be able to run after I catch them.

Thats why were doing it, Danielle said and glared at Keith. Why are you always whining?

Because its good for my health, Keith said. Havent you heard? Bottling up your feelings can cause you to die at a younger age. If something happens to me thats worth complaining about, then you can bet your ass Im going to complain.

Danielle shook her head and raised her head. A frown appeared on her face, and she lifted her hand to shield her eyes from the sun. Do you see that?

Huh? Keith glanced at Danielle before following her gaze. He frowned as well. Yep. I see that. Two dragons? They look a bit small though.

One of them is a cursed dragon, Danielle said. Do you think thats the one Mary is targeting?

Theres no way Grimmoldesser, a dragon that destroyed a continent, is smaller than the ones we killed, Keith said. Some things dont follow the rule of bigger means better, but dragons do. He raised his hand, shielding his eyes from the sun as well. Is it just me, or does it look like theyre flying towards us?

It does seem like that, Danielle said, a deep crease appearing on her brow. She reached down and gripped the hilt of her dagger with her left hand. Although it wouldnt be very useful against a dragon, it still brought her a sense of security. She looked around before taking in a deep breath. Theres nowhere to hide.

Should we run? Keith asked. If theyre really targeting us, we wont get very far, but we might confuse them if we split up.

There two of them, Danielle said and shook her head. Splitting up wont do anything. She dropped to the ground and rolled around in the dirt, digging at the ground with her hands.

What are you doing? Keith asked but copied her actions before receiving an answer.

Making myself as unappetizing as possible, Danielle said. If they get close, play dead. Maybe itll work.
