greeting
greetings.
“Come and see. It’s a pity to part with you like this, so I’ll have to give you a parting hug.”
“yes?”
Dakia widened her golden eyes in surprise, but Rusona took her hand and pulled her into her arms without hesitation. Since Rusona was taller than most adult men, Dakia naturally buried her face in the voluptuous body of the dragon princess.
“town?!”
Literally, Rusona hugged Dakia with her chest and smiled benevolently as she gently brushed Dakia’s silver hair.
“It was a real pleasure that you came to visit us today. I’ve decided to treat you like old friends from today, so if you feel like it, you can visit me anytime. How are you?”
Of course there was no answer. Hilden, standing quietly behind Rusona, pointed out her mistake.
“If you want to hear Princess Rusona’s answer, why don’t you let go of that… hand?”
“Eup, Eup, Eup!!”
Dacia’s answer was buried in the hill of her chest and couldn’t come out. Rusona smiled and gently removed her hand from Dacia.
“Oops, I can’t believe I made such a mistake.”
From my point of view, it was clear that the series of actions was not a mistake, but just a prank, judging from the dragon princess’s loose attitude.
“Puhaaa!!!”
Dacia, who was barely freed, quickly retreated to a place where Rusona could not reach and took a breath.
“I know you said it was good.”
Rusona looked at Dakia like that, smiled and said a word, and quickly grabbed the next victim. The next target, unfortunately, was my mother.
“Where are you going in such a hurry without a goodbye embrace?”
‘Hat killed?!’
The mother’s face caught in an instant was buried in the two ferocious hills of the dragon princess. The dragon princess hugged her struggling mother as if she were a child and shook her arms around her.
“Is that good?”
‘Murder, love, love!!!’
A scream to just leave and die rang out, but of course the miracle of the sound reaching the ears of the dragon princess did not happen. Dacia, who had come to my side before I knew it, spoke in a slightly calmer voice.
“I guess the dragon princess intends to hug each of us once in turn.”
“It looks that way to me too.”
“If you can build a connection called the Dragon Princess by hugging her once, you can hug her ten times or a hundred times. Then I’ll go hug you next time.”
Giselle smiled and stood in front of the dragon princess as if standing in line. Jamel, who had been blinking her eyes from the side, lined up behind Giselle.
“me too! I’ll make connections too! Priest Marnak, hurry up and line up! After that, you will be embraced by the Dragon Princess!”
Along with Jamel’s words, I felt a tired gaze from somewhere. Of course, it was obvious who the owner of those eyes was. Dacia was the only person standing next to me right now. Dacia looked at me with her eyes slightly narrowed.
“Are you really going to stand in line?”
“Hmmmm. no.”
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested in free hugging with the really broad-minded dragon princess at all, but I wasn’t hungry enough to run and stand in line.
‘Say hat!!!’
My mother, who had barely been released, gave the dragon princess a bowl of cursing and fed the middle fingers of both hands, and then ran to me and clung to my waist.
‘Kill kill!’
Gisele and Jamel finished hugging the dragon princess while they patted their mother, who was furious, saying that she almost died from being buried in unpleasant fat. The hugging time between the two was definitely shorter than when they were mother or Dacia.
“Hmm… It’s very soft.”
At Giselle’s muttering, Jamel glanced down at her chest and wrung her palms together.
“This is… gentle violence… amazing…”
The mood subtly subsided as everyone but me said goodbye. Golden pupils resembling snakes glistened and looked straight at me. Rusona smiled mischievously and spread her arms slightly.
“If you want, I will give you my special parting hug. I mean that too very seriously. If I may add a little bit more, you are the first man I ever asked for a parting hug.”
“I…”
Before I could say anything, my mother’s eyes narrowed and the two dark green pupils went black.
‘killing…?’
Asked if I would really go over there and be hugged by that lizard with a fat pouch. I added quickly.
“I am okay.”
Rusona giggled and asked mischievously.
“Are you sure you won’t regret rejecting my offer?”
I chuckled and hit her joke.
“I’m already regretting it, so please stop farming.”
“Since you don’t like it, it wouldn’t save my face if I forced you to recommend more here. And besides…”
Rusona looked around me with golden eyes and added briefly.
“If I gave you a parting hug on my own, I might get a little hated by some.”
While talking, the dragon princess suddenly approached me and held out her white hand to me.
“Then I think a parting handshake will suffice for you.”
I politely held her hand. Rusona lightly waved her clasped hands and gently scratched my palm with her index finger.
It was a very simple action, but from the point of view of the victim, it was… a very subtle feeling to put into words. anyway.
“Come and see. I have one last thing I want to say only to you.”
As I took a step closer, she immediately lowered her head slightly and whispered in my ear.
“Since I am such a comfortable and friendly person, if you think something interesting will happen, feel free to call me whenever you would like to call a neighbor.”
“Are you sure?”
“exactly.”
Now that I have completed the fragmented key, the only thing waiting for me ahead of me is a collision with Liberatorio.
In order to seize the vessel of the god and the holy relic where the mother’s divinity was sealed. Besides, if I successfully retrieved my mother’s divinity from this relic, it would have a monumental meaning to me as well.
In particular, out of the mother’s divinity, which was torn into thirteen, seven were restored to divinity and more than half.
In that respect, the more cards you can use, the better.
To be honest, I felt a bit burdened because I didn’t know where the dragon princess would bounce. I’m sure I’ll be able to use it somehow.
For example, when a new prophet appears, throw the dragon princess to pass the time. Even if I die soon, I won’t win easily because I’m a dragon.
I smiled broadly and nodded.
“You may regret it later.”
The golden dragon’s eyes sparkled. brighter than ever.
“Don’t forget me and call me.”
***
“Mmm heh heh.”
Rusona was as tall as a country’s princess. Not only did he give us the expensive-looking robes he had worn at the Rose Palace, but he also packed a bundle of them for us to take and taste.
Although most of the gifts received were alcohol.
“Mmmmm.”
Even while walking down the street, Jamel smirked at the wine bottle in both hands. I was slightly curious about the look.
“What is so good about?”
Jamel opened his light green eyes wide and waved the wine in his hands at me.
“Priest Marnak! It’s well over 5 gold coins for a bottle of this!!! One of my dreams is to drink expensive alcohol and get drunk, but I think I can get drunk with two bottles of this!!! Hehehe.”
Giselle, who was walking side by side, smiled.
“What are the two bottles? Are you saying that you know that the thing in your hand is the ‘roar of the old lady’? It’s famous for being very strong as much as it’s expensive. You’d be so drunk that you’d be lying on the floor after drinking just a few cups of it.”
“what! Giselle You don’t even know the ‘ㅅ’ in alcohol! I drink a lot!”
Jamel was a very good drinker despite his small stature. Even if you drink a little bit, the taste starts to go away.
Giselle clicked her tongue and shook her head.
“I don’t know why so many people drink it because it’s good for the body.”
A winner’s smile spread across Jamel’s lips. It was a very nasty smile even to me, who was not the party to the conversation.
“Hehehe. Isn’t that because you don’t know ‘life’ yet? I’ve been living here, and I find that alcohol is so delicious and sweet.”
“This little thing is real!!! hey! How much do you know if you know life! Besides, if I make up my mind to drink, I’ll be more horseman than you?!”
“Heng! So let’s stick together!”
Giselle was always calm and looked after the atmosphere, but somehow, whenever Jamel and I were together, we became two children. I peeked to the side and saw her mother staring at the bottle in Jamel’s hand and licking her lips.
It seemed like a drinking party would happen if we returned to the Water Swallow.
Well, it’s okay to take a break like this for a day.
***
Arriving at the Wet Swallow, we unpacked our luggage, cleaned up, and finished preparing for a full drink by unpacking the drinks and food we had brought.
Master and Pearly shared a drink together, but unfortunately, they couldn’t participate in the cardigan show.
I don’t know what the hell happened, but she was beaten so badly by her master that she was lying in the room, moaning. Master said it wasn’t a big deal, so I thought maybe he did some kind of training.
thud.
Glasses were exchanged, and Giselle’s reddened face was slammed into the table.
“Wet!!! I won!!!”
Jamel, who was holding a glass of wine, exquisitely swung the glass that was overflowing with a jaunty expression. The battle between the two friends ended with Jamel’s complete victory. Jamel, the winner, also had a loose tongue, so it didn’t look like he was in his own state.
‘ㅅ…a…d…h…ㅐ…’
‘The roar of a young lady’ is said to make even a young lady scream on the roadside if she drinks it. Perhaps because I was drunk, I couldn’t even find where I was and ended up in Master Pridiya’s arms.
Master seemed to find it very interesting that her mother, who was busy running away every time she saw her face, came to her arms and hugged her, playing with her cheeks.
Cook Cook.
And someone stabbed me in the side. When I turned my head, a smiling face greeted me, not drunk at all.
“Suddenly what! what! You have to tell me what happened! What happened in the Rose Palace!”
At Pearly’s words, I looked around and then lifted my hips and stood up.
“Let’s go out and talk.”
I also had something to ask her.
“okay! okay! Get some air!”
When I got out of the cabin and onto the deck, I could smell the river’s damp smell. The streets of the night had already been swallowed up by a strange fog.
“so! so! What happened?”
“You will know when you see it.”
I took out a piece of the key given to me by the emperor from my chest and showed it. Seeing the key, Pearly widened her eyes and giggled blankly.
“Isn’t that the last piece?”
“yes.”
A bright smile soon spread across her lips.
“good job! good job! Also you are the best! the best!”
As she jumped up and down with praise, she reached out and snatched the key fragment from my hand. I lightly took a step back and avoided her touch.
“I will keep the key.”
“What good! good! do whatever you want! You’re the one who found the key!”
Perley, who complied, smiled brightly.
“Then are you going to attack the vessel now?”
“no! no! As I said before, the bowl is still unfinished! So be patient! Be patient! I will hold your hand and guide you to the bowl at the perfect time!”
Just as I didn’t fully trust her and gave her the key, she also didn’t tell me where the pots were being made.
Maybe he’s worried that I’ll jump after eating only the holy relics.
“What is good?”
“I like it too! Then, get some rest for a while! Maybe you won’t have to wait too long!”
“If you try to steal the key secretly, I won’t stand still.”
“no! no! don’t worry!”
Pearly patted me on the shoulder and smirked.
“I’m thinking of going with you for a very, very long time! Let’s work together next time! I am! I am! I really liked you! What do you do with this because you are so good! I can’t! I’ll even give you a big kiss!!!”
“yes?”
With an incomprehensible flow of conversation, Pearly’s lips suddenly approached in an instant.
“cellar?!”
Before I could block it, the surprise attempt at a kiss was blocked by a slightly heated white palm.
“Just go there.”
With each word, the strong smell of wine wafted up. Two red-hot cheeks and two slightly opened golden eyes. The one who stopped Pearly’s surprise kiss was Dakia, who followed us before we knew it.
Dacia lightly pushed away Pearly and squeezed between me and Pearly. Every time Dakia inhaled and exhaled, white steam, heated by her body temperature, leaked out along her breath.
“There’s a certain degree to letting someone go wild with ignorance.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about right?”
When Pearly joked back, Dakia, who was drunk with sweetness, glared at Pearly with obvious hostility.
“I can’t trust people like you who don’t know what the hell they’re doing. Then I’ll take this opportunity to tell you straight. From now on, don’t be rude to Priest Marnak.”
Pearly rolled her eyes and looked at Dakia alternately, then suppressed a laugh.
“Kick Kick! okay! okay! I can see why you’re paying so much attention! I won’t bother throwing up! Besides, I have no interest in arguing with drunk people! I go to bed first then! Good night both! good night!”
Surprisingly, she fluttered her palms obediently and quickly disappeared into the cabin. Dakia, whose ears were red from being drunk, looked down at the floor and asked a small question.
“Could it have been… useless… meddling…?”
I patted her on the shoulder and smiled.
“no. Well done. Because I needed to draw a line with Pearly.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“I think it will be perfect if we go in and organize a drinking party. Come in.”
“no.”
Dacia suddenly grabbed my wrist.
“I have something else to tell you, but Father Marnak, could you please go to the priest’s room first and wait for a while?”
“I see.”
After listening to whatever she wanted to say, it wasn’t too late to organize a drinking party. It wasn’t even urgent in the first place.
“Okay then, I’ll go in for a while first. I have something to prepare.”
Dacia, still with her ears burning, slithered toward the cabin and disappeared. I walked slowly and headed for my room.
***
Smart.
I sat in my room and waited for a while, and soon there was a knock on the door.
“You can just come in.”
Squeak. As soon as the door opened, I couldn’t help but panic.
“Dacia?”
The black cloth sticking to the body revealed the body that Dakia usually wore one more layer to hide. A curve that is exquisitely harmonized with healthy beauty and ideal beauty. The Milky Way was embroidered on one shoulder of her black dress, resembling her silver hair.
So Dacia somehow came back to my room wearing the dress she had worn at the dinner party during the day. still red and drunk.
“How are you? Priest Marnak?”
“You fit in very well. I also told you during the day. By the way… why did that dress come back… in the middle of the night?”
“That’s…”
His golden eyes, slightly relaxed by drunkenness, flashed with strange heat. Involuntarily, I slightly shrugged my shoulders. Dakia licked her red lips before speaking out.
“A goodbye that I couldn’t say alone during the day…I thought I’d do that for you.”
