I stroked Fleabag, who had stealthily come out under the cover of night, with my finger. Fleabag, seeming to enjoy my touch, narrowed his eyes and wagged his tail gently. “Aaargh!” Just then, a sound that broke the silence of the night rang out. Fleabag and I simultaneously looked out the window. Not far away, a terrible shape was visible. “Master, that’s a monster...!” “Shh.” I quickly covered Fleabag’s mouth with my finger. Fleabag, revealing his two front teeth, blinked…- 127.4 K • Ongoing
- ...Yul probably doesn't want to run into me. I hesitantly rolled my eyes before sitting back down on the roof. Fleabag gripped my finger with his small hand as if to comfort me. “Hero!” “Hero!” The humans, who had increased one by one, soon rushed toward Yul as a crowd. “This child was born just a month ago. Please give him a name, hero!” “My wife became unable to use her legs after a monster attack not long ago. But since last night, she’s been singing about how she wants to…

- Fleabag, who had been silent for a moment, let out a loud, fake cough. His voice, which sounded somehow pleased, seemed to be tinged with a sense of triumph. I kept my back turned to Yul until a villager brought us our meal, saying it was morning. Because I didn't want to make Yul uncomfortable. But I couldn't very well keep my back to him while eating. In the end, we sat facing each other at the table placed in the middle of the lodging. “...” “...” But only silence lingered…

- “Yul, are you breathing okay? You don't feel nauseous or dizzy, do you?” “What nonsense is that.” “If there's poison in the smoke, it will hurt, so that's why I asked.” “It doesn't hurt.” Yul answered curtly and turned his head away. I felt a needless anxiety because I couldn't see his face in the hazy smoke. It felt like Yul might disappear somewhere. I unconsciously grabbed Yul's fingers. Yul looked at me again. “Wh-what is this!” “Find the hero! Quickly!” I…

- “Is this a dragon?” “How did you know?” There was only one human who had ever dared to try and use me as a symbol for a kingdom. I thought I had erased it after giving her a major scolding back then, but was she deceiving me? “Are you a descendant of ‘Nassyr’?” “‘Nassyr’... you mean the first king of our kingdom?” “Why didn't you get rid of this dragon emblem?” “Because my ancestor, the first king, founded the country with the help of a dragon...?” I did…

- “You really are a dragon's familiar. That was amazing.” “Yes, because I'm the familiar of the great dragon.” On the way to the bob-haired man's hideout after purifying the flowers, I ignored the bob-haired man who was praising me and kept my eyes fixed only on Yul. Since I was staring so openly, he must have felt my gaze, but Yul just walked on, looking straight ahead. “But doesn't purifying the flowers take a lot of energy? Are you okay?” “It was about the size of a pond. That…

- KRAAANG! As Yul brought his sword down, a tremendous roar echoed out. The sandy ground caved in, and a loess-colored insect was crushed as if by pressure. Crack, crack. Cracks formed on the hard exoskeleton of the antlion, which was now lying on its back, and purple blood leaked out. Hiss... The soft sand that absorbed the blood was scorched black. It seemed this monster's blood was acidic. Hmm, acid is a bit dangerous. I used magic to block the monster's blood from flowing toward us. Yul, who had…

- “He'll be kicking himself with regret later, you know? The Mr. Hero doesn’t know the first thing about living on the streets.” Jibril clicked his tongue. I tilted my head and asked. “You’re a prince too.” “A prince of a fallen kingdom. And a prince with no one left to serve him. I didn't want to end up like this either, you know.” Jibril, who had shrugged his shoulders, scanned my clean appearance from top to bottom. “Do you not need to wash because you’re a dragon’s…

- "Why are you wearing such a heinous piece of trash on your wrist?" "Trash!" This was something I gave to Yul because he said he wanted to hold onto something like a leash instead of just putting me down. And he calls that trash. No, wait. I, the great one, must endure. Getting angry at an ignorant human was as useless as an elephant getting angry at a gnat. That's right. How could a human understand my profound intentions. Hmph, I snorted and was about to ignore him, but this time Jibril…

- "Hold on." Jibril crouched down on the ground and spread out a map. Then he took a pen from his waist and drew a circle. The circle was a mark to indicate the flower patch that had been purified. "We're here right now, so... the next place we have to go is here. Oh, it's not too far." "How long will it take?" "About 40 minutes on foot. We could get there faster if we had horses. No, since it's a desert, would it be camels instead of horses?" Jibril, who was laughing playfully, suddenly…
