Chapter.38 Without you,

I wait forever for a being that never comes, and then I become a dead stone.

Something made me laugh.

What were the months I spent here like? A self-mocking laugh that comes from that thought.

I got up from my seat.

He was a dragon who didn’t wake up in the morning, although he held out until morning as if he still had regrets.

It doesn’t make sense that a guy who sleeps a lot hasn’t slept yet.

If you’re going to show up, you should have already shown up. Now is the time to destroy dreamland.

I got up from my seat.

I walked to the other side of the lake instead of Rare.

***

Lurin crouched quietly.

Rare is quiet. It hasn’t been this quiet since El came to live.

But solitude is good.

Lurin thought so.

What suits you is solitude.

But he immediately shook his head.

I hated it.

Yeah, I don’t like it.

hate.

Will this loneliness continue?

Even though this was something that had happened for hundreds of years, Lurin stood up immediately. But he crouched again.

Time passes. Lulin couldn’t get up and take a step. Stand up and crouch again and repeat.

Suddenly L’s smiling face came to mind.

I remembered the image of him fixing a leash in the rain.

-Let’s protect it together.

The face that said that came to mind. Lurin was overcome by an emotion she didn’t know what it was when she saw him fixing the rare item next to her.

It was warm.

The raindrops were cold, but my heart was warm. weird. The warmth I felt when I was with my mom. There was a stirring in my heart that I had not felt at that time.

El, who heals Lair in the rain and says that her mother is on her side no matter what dragon.

Lurin couldn’t take her eyes off him.

I felt this same feeling back then. Even when El disappeared for a while, it was the same as it is now.

no.

different.

If everything is a lie, aren’t the feelings you felt at that time also a lie?

Is everything a lie?

I said no.

L said no.

He said he would not betray. But he said that the elder had sent him. And yet, no.

In fact, I even remembered what happened when I was drunk.

From then on, Lulin had already accepted El.

But what if it was all a lie? I thought I could never forgive.

Lulin crouched even further. Although it was a dragon, it curled up in a position that was very similar to the position a fetus curls up in a human mother’s body.

Spend the night with your eyes open.

Time passes.

A sleepless night has come for Lurin, who knows nothing but sleep.

Lurin lay down and got up again, just like last time.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Rare was very quiet and empty.

He said he did not betray him.

He said the meaning was different.

At the end, the words L had spoken passionately came back to me.

hate.

scary.

The feeling of not wanting to be alone again spread within Lulin.

-I will protect you together.

-Because I’m on your side.

Lulin started running.

But it was already broad daylight outside.

Dragons live for a long time. That’s normal. That is why we are ignorant in a split second.

Lulin didn’t even realize that it was already morning.

Arrived at the lakeside.

El was nowhere to be seen.

Even if you look around, you can’t see anything. The sunlight on the lakeside sparkles and creates a halo in the eyes.

hate.

hate.

hate.

Do you like solitude?

no.

That’s not it.

hate.

I hate being alone.

Because L told me.

For some reason, I liked the sound of L’s heartbeat when he fell asleep on his stomach.

“Why not? Where did you go… “Where have you gone!”

Lurin shouted.

An echo rings out.

But there was no answer back.

Then you can go back to that solitude again. That’s it. As expected, that guy is a traitor.

I can’t wait for this long.

Lulin clenched his fists as he thought so.

Another hundred years pass by.

If you pass by like that again.

-In such emptiness.

hate.

hate.

Lulin turned around. I planned to fly up to the sky, find El, and give her breath.

“uh?”

But the moment I turned around, I was startled and took a step back.

Because El was standing there.

“why?”

“Yes, you… !”

“I was sleepy and wanted to sleep here in the warm sunlight, but you came? But isn’t it too late? “It’s almost noon, let alone dawn?”

“… I do not know. “I don’t know.”

“okay?”

“So who won the bet?”

“I am… !”

“you?”

Lulin swallowed back his own words. He looked at L in silence, but then opened his mouth again.

“lost. I hate to admit it, but I lost this bet. If you lose, you lose. Can not help it. “That’s it!”

“okay? “Did I win?”

“Don’t you say so! bad guy!”

Lulin huffed and raised his hand. L thought it was rather cute.

By the way, isn’t this the first time I’ve innocently admitted to losing a bet? I once accepted it without saying anything, but I lost! It was the first time that I had declared this with certainty.

“So are you still here?”

“Well, that’s right. “I plan to stay for a while.”

“Then that’s it! But are you really in the same relationship as the elder? If it’s a lie… I’m really going to kill you. Even if I can’t kill you, I will kill you. “If I can’t kill it, I’ll kill myself for being deceived.”

“Don’t kill me, idiot. Because it’s not. “Why am I hanging out with such an old-fashioned old man?”

El crouched down and was at eye level with Lurin.

“I’m on your side. It’s not about the elders. “When I get back to Lair, I’ll tell you the details of what happened with the Dragon Lord.”

“Is that so?”

“huh.”

“Okay then. however… “There’s one more thing I’d like to ask.”

“What?”

“Are you always on my side?”

“What is it? always.”

“Even if I eat everything you eat?”

“Ugh? That’s a bit… .”

“I lied. now!”

“no no… Okay, let’s just say so. “I’m always on your side.”

“that… Then forever?”

“Yeah, you’re comfortable. forever.”

“Is that so? “You’re stupid.”

“You’re such an idiot for asking.”

“Let’s go back to Rare! “I suddenly feel sleepy.”

“okay?”

“Yes. “Come quickly, girl!”

Lurin said that and walked forward, her black hair flowing. But El realized something was strange.

Is something really strange?

I frowned slightly and then realized.

Not you, not you, but you.

Lulin called you.

***

“Lurin.”

“Why mom?”

The small dragon asked back from the arms of the large dragon. The eyes of the large dragon looking at the small dragon were full of love.

“You’ll be paired up with someone too, right?”

“match?”

“That’s right. “Like mom and dad.”

“I do not know.”

“so? Hehehe. “Mom called dad ‘you.’”

“you?”

“I wonder what we will call Lurin.”

“I’m going to call you the same thing as Mom.”

“okay? “After all, she is her mother’s daughter.”

“huh!”

The small dragon nodded his head strongly. From then on, the little dragon thought.

Mom is the best in the world.

So, he said he would do the same thing as his mother.

***

Of course, there have been numerous incidents since then. After getting caught up in the dragon war and the rare being destroyed, he stays with the frustrated Lurin and then gets involved in the war in earnest.

After receiving a request from an elder to help the black dragon survive.

I went to the capital and got caught up in the war again. There are countless stories with Rurin left.

But it was probably from the lakeside where Lurin first called you that Lurin began to open her heart, right?

but. I didn’t laugh for a while after that.

The shadows and darkness in Rurin’s heart had not allowed her to smile even then.

Although seeing Rurin’s first smile was another event.

Hehe.

Anyway, I’ll go out and come back.

I returned the note to its original place.

Let’s take a look and see where he plans to go.

When I thought about the past, I was reminded of all the hardships I had gone through to win this guy’s heart, and my sense of fun arose.

After gently poking Rulin on the cheek, he ran away from the restaurant.

This will probably happen right away.

Lulin hates people touching him the most.

In the past, he hated being touched by me.

I yelled at him not to touch it 18 times.

Of course, I’m fine right now. Rather, I like skinship. Many things have changed over those long years.

Anyway, I ran out of the restaurant and hid nearby.

Soon Lulin’s mana disappears.

The sign of Mana disappearing into the distance. I shrugged my shoulders. So is it like this?

I’m annoyed that you keep leaving me alone.

So you’re telling me to get annoyed too?

I went back to the restaurant. Only a note remains.

Yes, if you saw this note without knowing anything, you might have been a little confused.

Just like the last kiss rejection incident.

And after a while.

“Yay!”

Rurin appeared, shouting.

So, if I get agitated here, will I lose?

“It’s hard to move since morning. What are you doing?”

Instead, I pretended to yawn and stretched.

what.

Lurin then bursts into tears in embarrassment. It’s really rare for this guy to get upset.

Is this something that will cause so much trouble? I asked rather confused.

“What’s wrong, Lurin?”

“What the hell!”

“what?”

“What what what what… ! Why are you so calm? why!”

“Yes?”

What are you talking about? First, I hugged Lulin. For some reason, my whole body was shaking so I couldn’t just leave it alone.

“Why on earth are you crying?”

“I wasn’t crying. I am a dragon! “There’s no way I’m crying.”

“No, I don’t think crying has much to do with dragons. By the way, do you know what Lurin?”

“I do not know. I do not know! “I’m angry right now, so I don’t know anything.”

“okay? “Then that’s it.”

I released her from my arms and turned my back on her.

The ring hasn’t been made yet. I can’t plug it in yet. But the reason for that reaction?

Is it because of my reaction?

Because you weren’t that surprised even though you were gone?

Enough to cry because of that?

“you? What happened? Nothing happened! “I said I was angry!”

Rurin comes in front of me and raises her eyebrows again.

I hugged Lurin again.

In that case, I have to lose. I don’t think there’s anything good about winning here.

I whispered quietly while hugging him.

“Of course it wouldn’t work without you. Like before, if it’s not a joke and it really disappears… It might destroy the world. “I’m angry.”

“… “Huh?”

When I hugged him, Lurin, who was moving her body, froze in place.

Actually, it would be okay if you put a ring on it right here.

Damn dwarf. No, even if it’s not a damn thing, it’s true that it doesn’t make sense to do the work in one day, so there’s nothing we can do about it.

“Huh huh gyaaa?”

And then he kissed Rurin’s lips. Luckily, Rurin seems to have calmed down as well, putting her hands behind her back and hugging me tightly.

The dragon that was dying to die is now by my side.

“Me too. If you disappear, I will destroy the world! “The world that hides you must disappear!”

“okay? “First of all, I want you to find it and destroy it.”

“Really? Think about it.”

When I parted my lips, Rurin smiled brightly.

The crying face suddenly disappeared.
