Cringing at his response, however, Serein manages to hold back her genuine reaction from being expressed outwardly and instead pays more attention to the answer itself.‘Wasn’t the reason Arlia left his homeland to find his friend who was banished from the village?’ That friend of his ended up dying, though, from an attack of an adult wyrm going crazy and murdering many people. Serein presumed that the said Wyrm would be either of these two, Sam and Pam. Which is why she’s especially wary of this person holding these two cuties.Well, either way, this is different from what’s happening in the story when Arlia told Princess Cerise, who was wearing her disguise, that he started this journey to find his friend, whom he has always seen as an older brother slash mentor, and to find himself. A journey to find oneself— a different story than what’s been prophesied to him.‘But since the ‘present’ story was not aligned with what’s in the draft. Could it be that this guy, not Arlia?’ Serein ca
“Ho…” Cevahir doesn’t seem to be disturbed, let alone annoyed. Instead, he’s actually arching his brow at the teen as if interested.‘Holy shit, my freaking hell, what the actual fuckery is happening in front of me? This punk seemed to get a motherfucking dragon interested in him?’All of a sudden, Serein was convinced that this punk was indeed Arlia, though now her main concern has shifted in the most unpredictable direction.Meanwhile, with a brow arched elegantly at the intriguing human, Cevahir ignored whatever the other was spewing about, as he was more interested in the atmosphere surrounding this weird human, “How curious.” This time, it's not Serein.Cevahir was not expecting another one who has this weird ‘scent’ surrounding them to appear before him like this. Alas, there's this young man.‘And I thought the little girl was a peculiar one. Well, apparently that's not the case?’ he mused with his own thoughts, since despite being similar, there's also a distinction between t
“What's with that reaction though? They don't speak to you, weird human?” Sam asked after a couple of exchanges of words later. At last, he seems to show some genuine interest in what this newcomer said. And in return, the boy tilted his head in slight confusion and asked back slowly as if he wasn't able to understand, “Spirits can speak?”To answer his question, Pam’s lively chirp was more than enough, “They can!” The youngest in their party sounded so proud to announce that he and his brothers could hear the spirits while this human couldn't.Luckily for Serein, the greenish-blue wyrm seemed to have forgotten the fact that she, a supposed human, can hear Aiston. Although as for now that ability seemed to be one-sided with the Ancient Spirit having all of the control over this temporary one-way connection, that's the case nonetheless.‘Or maybe Pam-min simply doesn’t know about that,’ Well, whatever was the answer, that adventurer was not in the mood to find out the truth behind tha
She looks on blankly, a dramatic amalgamation of shattering glass and thunder resounding inside her head. In a daze, she nearly leaves herself on autopilot as she blurts without thinking,“We’re not your buddies.”It sounds rude, but she soon follows up with an exaggerated expression of disgust as she scrunches her nose, thus lessening the potential negative impact on the young Wyrms. After all, they like Arlia enough to want to keep him.—One of the most important lessons of life is to fight a cringe-worthy kid with an equal amount of clownery!Plus, Serein felt the need to keep the facts straight on that matter as this boy seems to love treating people with very friendly manners. However, it seems like Arlia is getting used to this whole 'bark and no bite' situation she's been pulling on him since their meeting on this ship.He doesn’t seem to get fazed anymore.—and instead, he starts to smile, which, in Serein’s view, looks as cheeky as untouched cheese that makes you want to poun
{Ah. Little girl, about this punk. There's something I need to warn yo—} While she was pondering over what could have been the lies, Aiston’s voice appeared in her head once more. ‘Yeah? What is it— hello?’ She’s trying and hoping for the Ancient Spirit to tell her what he’s talking about, but it seems that making his voice heard to Serein drains his power too much. There are even some faint static noises as if he’s trying to say something but could barely be heard. Still, it’s truly disgruntling how he leaves her hanging with too cryptic of a sentence. It was at that moment that Gil returned to them after catching up a bit with Arlia, which, once again, unexpectedly an acquaintance or even, a friend of the MC. ‘Perhaps saving Gil is what made this situation completely unavoidable, how ironic.’ —Not that she regrets doing it, despite the disturbing intrusion of thoughts she had about the knight earlier, Serein never truly regrets her decision up until now. In the meantime, while
The wind isn’t roaring, nor is the sky looking dark. However, the way their ship is shaking so badly feels almost as if they’re facing a raging storm, a battle against mother nature.That being said, the reason behind what’s happening is more than simply a fight with natural elements.Although it feels like the sea itself is raging, the people on board know more than anyone that this isn’t a mere normal occurrence.“What is happening, hey!”Sam's panicked voice could be heard while Pam let out a startled squeak when a particularly strong hit almost tilted the whole ship over and threw them all to the depth of the sea. The ship was clashing against the huge waves, and the sound of the water was almost deafening to everyone on it. Despite that, a voice was able to be heard.“The sea monsters.”It was Arlia who’s been paying attention to what those pirates have been yelling about answered Sam’s puzzled yelp while clutching onto the side of the deck as well, trying to balance himself so h
There are no records of these sea creatures ever communicating with humans, so really, unlike Aidou, Serein had zero thoughts on even trying to talk with this herd to persuade them to spare her.“Hmm? You’re planning to fight them, little girl?” Cevahir asked casually as he glanced at how Serein retrieved her weapon, specifically the other blade which had been used by the half-blood dragon to knock out Aidou.“Well,” she responded to the question, humming while keeping an eye on the sea, “Just in case.” Her tone was firm but tinged with a hint of apprehension. As she spoke, her mind raced through potential scenarios, assessing her options and preparing herself mentally for what may come. She knew that facing a herd of sea monsters was no small feat, and she was bracing herself for the challenge ahead.Neither of the three dragons found any falsehood in her statement. After all, if there was a more peaceful way, she would opt not to fight at all. She had no desire to throw her life awa
“Hey, ease up on the glare, will ya?” Arlia chuckled, meeting the knight's gaze with confidence. Sensing the direction of the knight's thoughts, he preemptively addressed them. “I'm not tangled up in their scheme. I just stumbled upon it in my book.”“A book? What book?” the knight inquired further.“Yeah, my book,” Arlia affirmed simply before turning his attention to the two draconic members, smoothly shifting the conversation. "Don't worry, Sam-min, Pam-min," he reassured the baby Wyrms. "They're not allowed to harm you two." His tone was calming, aimed at easing their fears."But they're so aggressive, are you sure, strange human?" Pam voiced his concern, fear evident in his tone. Meanwhile, Sam, sensing the teen's sincerity, redirected the conversation.“I swear on my life that I’m not deceiving you. In fact, if you don’t believe me, you can ask your Big Brother,” Arlia assured them earnestly, prompting the two hatchlings to seek confirmation from their elder sibling. Cevahir, th
