[Episode 114]
“….”
“….”
No one said anything in the silence. There was no way I could do it.
‘The culprit came like this…’
What the hell was he talking about?
“…dad?”
“Why, daughter?”
Dad with a refreshing face somewhere said with a grin.
I turned my head again and looked at something in the shape of a person with his head down on his knees, wearing only underwear and a robe wrapped around his torso.
The ears that stood up on the head were drooping and trembling slightly, and the three tails hanging down on the floor were curled up.
The man’s face was dyed blue and doubled in size.
“A beast… is that…?”
I said carefully.
Ah, the moment I thought the smell had disappeared from the tip of my nose while walking around the market, fortunately I was able to humanize myself again.
“I see.”
“Ah…”
It must have been a prisoner.
Everything is fine, but is it possible to talk to this person?
It doesn’t look like he’s dead, but I couldn’t even make out the expression on his swollen face.
“You barely know who I am…!”
Tak-
The moment Dad’s scabbard lightly tapped the table, the man’s body trembled pitifully.
The pronunciation that had been leaking suddenly became quiet.
‘Is it a fox…?’
It had three blue fox tails and pricked ears with water-colored fur.
The pupils that could be seen through the swollen eyes were greenish-brown.
“Aren’t you going to apologize?”
My ears died as soon as the soft voice fell.
“…I’m sorry.”
“No…”
But can the culprit be caught so easily? No matter how much…
“Why did you say that?”
“Well, he didn’t say that. You can calmly go and interrogate.”
My father’s smiling face was scary even when I saw it.
He’s a very young looking man, but what the hell happened…
“Is that smell weird?”
The man pursed his lips in an expression that seemed difficult to even open, then frowned.
‘I want you to heal this man.’
I thought with my eyes closed.
Pure white magic power radiated from the fingertips and wrapped around the man in an instant. The man’s eyes widened.
He stroked my cheek a few times and frowned.
“No big deal. If you have been humanizing for a long time, there is a symptom of naturally gathering mana, but it is only mitigating it.”
“ease?”
“It’s a bit toxic to young beastmen, so sometimes the beastman’s seal comes loose.”
The voice added that it wasn’t dangerous, and it didn’t feel like he was lying.
“But really, why did you do that?”
“…”
The man quickly shut his mouth.
I looked at the culprit who had been caught. Well, there’s no way I can’t catch the criminal who is actually specific to my father’s ability.
‘It’s not because I have a strong world view.’
As I was staring at the man, the man also stared at me.
“You really are a dragon.”
“Did you think it was fake?”
“It’s not like that, but it’s true that you can’t believe it.”
the man said honestly.
He looked like he was looking at a really strange legendary creature.
“We needed you.”
“Why me?”
“…”
The man fell silent again.
The fact that he didn’t say anything even after being hit by his father must mean he’s a strong-willed person.
“Why did you sow hatar?”
“He must have tried to go to war with the Empire.”
The answer came from Dad. sudden war? For me, who lived in modern times, it was like a story from a country far away.
The man was still sitting on his knees with his mouth shut.
It was a little surprising that even after being beaten like that, he kept his posture upright and spared his words.
‘Am I a loyal person?’
He didn’t seem like such a bad person to Chuck. Of course, I’m not sure if I’m a good person.
‘I’m sure there’s someone behind it.’
First of all, it seems that this person was not the real ‘head’. Still, it was caught very cold.
It was then.
“Ugh…”
Suddenly the man let out a painful moan and hugged his stomach.
Ugh ugh…
Then he suddenly covered his mouth and started to vomit. When I widened my eyes in bewilderment, he spat something out of his mouth.
“You know what?”
With a slightly pale face, he smiled.
“That a fox has something called a wishing marble.”
The man’s green-brown eyes narrowed at first. Dad got in my way.
“It’s pretty much like you, isn’t it? Dragon Lady. Dragons also have marbles.”
As soon as he finished his words, the world stopped.
Dad stopped, and Callan and Cillian stopped moving. Incredibly perfect.
“It doesn’t work for you either. Is it because of the dragon’s backward compatible power?”
“…dad?”
I grabbed my father’s hem and shook him. But Dad didn’t respond.
“dad! Callancilian!”
No matter how many times I call, there is no answer.
It really seemed as if it were hardened like a stone statue. It felt like my heart was pounding.
“Dragon is also the source of mana after all. It would have been unthinkable if you weren’t a hatchling…”
The man took out something like a bracelet and approached me.
“No…”
I don’t want to lose my family any more. They are my precious family. I must protect you.
I opened my mouth as I saw the approaching man.
[Don’t come.]
The voice echoed. As I speak, a language I do not know flows from my lips.
It’s a language I don’t know, but it was also a language that seemed like I’d known it for a long time.
It couldn’t have been that strange.
Anyway, as soon as I finished my words, the man’s steps stopped.
“No way…”
The man seemed to be trying to move his body, but as if it wasn’t going to be easy, he pursed his lips with a look of bewilderment.
[Get Dad back to normal right now.]
For some reason, I thought I could stop this guy very easily.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the blood rushing out of my fingertips.
“How the hell can you say a dragon…”
His words didn’t come to an end.
He moved as if someone was being manipulated and in an instant set his father and siblings back.
[Give me the marble.]
I said, holding out my hand.
He swallowed his breath as he gripped the orb tightly. Judging from the shaky gaze and clenched teeth, it was clear that he was desperately holding on.
Eventually, however, he creaked forward and knelt down, placing the marble in my hand.
A look of deep disappointment crept across the man’s face.
In the man’s hand, the beads that were shining like water turned into transparent glass beads in an instant when they came to my hand.
“…Eirin?”
“dad…!”
Dad, who had returned to normal, called me in a surprised voice.
I hurriedly hugged my father’s leg. When I felt like I was going to lose forever, I felt sad for some reason.
“Dad, Dad… Dad…”
“Yes, daughter.”
Dad hugged me and held me tightly in his arms. I felt much better when I was held in my strong embrace.
“Can you tell me what happened?”
“That person used strange powers.”
“I see.”
He lightly took me in his arms and buried my head in my chest.
Then, isn’t it lightly rubbing my cheek? Then the son-in-law fell silent.
The noise that always tired me was completely gone. It was right to say that not only the noise, but all sounds had disappeared.
Even with his eyes closed, he could tell Dad’s arm was moving.
“You can open your eyes now.”
When I turned my head slightly, I saw a man lying on the floor as if he had passed out.
A large hump appeared on the back of his head.
“This…that person.”
I held out a marble the size of my two fists to my father, and he frowned, picked it up, and passed it to Callan Etam.
Then, naturally, he took out a handkerchief and scrubbed my hands.
“dad?”
“Support and support. dirty.”
“…That’s because it’s in the hands of the father and son right now?”
Callan Etham asked in a puzzled way. Dad smiled when he saw Callan.
“Are you a daughter too? why? Can you wash your hands?”
Kalan Etam shook her head in disgust as Dad lifted the handkerchief.
“Dad me…”
My eyes spun around.
“uh…?”
Is it another side effect of using the ability?
Feeling my head pounding, I raised my hand to cup my forehead, and Dad patted my back.
“My dear daughter?”
“Dad, I’m dizzy and sleepy…”
My eyes blurred.
“Eirin!”
Despite my father’s mournful call, my eyes went dark.
squeak sigh.
rattle.
Again, the direction of flow of the cogs was reversed. Curiously, I could see the changing gears.
And the moment I closed my eyes and opened them again, this time I was in the middle of hell.
“This money-eating, parasitic bitch! What are you doing without killing me right away! How long are you going to pour money on this bitch! until when!”
“Mother, please…”
“Hey, how long are you going to sleep?!”
Yes, I opened my eyes in a noisy and terrible upside-down hell.
Maybe that’s what I thought.
Unless something ends, this hell will haunt me forever.
