chapter 63
63 – 7. Monbungi, the Empress, and Her Sister (12)
At a glance, I could see what was going on.
Raysonia is holding on to the end of the cloak and pulling it, and Nemesis is hugging the rest of the cloak so as not to have the cloak taken away from Raysonia.
What do the two have in common?
“Put this down!”
“Please let go of you…!”
It felt like they were playing a tug-of-war, unable to even exert proper strength for fear of what would happen to each other’s cloaks.
So… it seemed like it wasn’t as serious as I thought.
Of course, both of their expressions were serious.
Raysonia was truly trying to take the cloak away, while Nemesis was truly trying to protect the cloak.
anyway.
The two, who didn’t even know I was here, continued to argue.
“I told you…! I’ll give you the same thing back, so please return it to your brother quickly…!”
“Si, I hate it! It’s the same… isn’t that what the teacher gave you…! “This is what the teacher gave me!”
I didn’t give it to you.
You said it was a rental, right?
Even that was done because he could not overcome Nemesis, who used raw swarms.
“Oh, there’s no way your brother gave you that cloak…!”
“This body did not lie! So let go of this…!”
If there was one thing that was puzzling, it was Nemesis’ attitude.
It was Nemesis, hugging her cloak tightly and crying.
Not only was he crying, but his tail was curled up between his legs.
…A child is alone in heaven and earth.
It was an attitude unbecoming of the fox dragon (mite) of Dogssang My Way who does not listen to those who are weaker than him.
In particular, the tail curled between the legs… Its meaning among the dragon tribe is that of courtesy.
‘I was completely scared.’
…is that it?
Like Kyra, did Nemesis instinctively recognize that Raysonia was a ‘powerhouse’?
Seeing that Nemesis, who showed a ‘desire to win’ even against a decent opponent, was so scared… he may have felt a ‘class’ that was so different that he could not bear to overcome it.
The following article: The current Nemesis was dead, and even if he reawakened, there was no hope of defeating the current Raysonia.
I don’t know if it’s later.
‘…No, because the fire dragon Nemesis could only burn half of the human world.’
Doesn’t that mean it was eventually subdued?
The only being who could stop Nemesis from going crazy in the human world was Raysonia, so it was revealed that even Nemesis, who had been raised to the final level, was no match for Raysonia.
‘…I wonder if it will be different after the current Nemesis grows up.’
I’m not sure because I was already worrying about it thanks to Nemesis’ training that started earlier than expected.
Nemesis, who received the growth buff a year early, not Nemesis, who had a set ‘limit’ in the system, but became reality… I didn’t know what would happen if he grew up.
anyway.
Anyway, whatever.
Crackling, crackling…!
I could see that my cloak, which was a ‘bestowal gift’ given by the Empress of the Empire, was screaming, with all sorts of magic attached to it for warmth and protection.
They both said that they were controlling their power to prevent each other’s cloaks from being damaged, but that was just saying that they were controlling their power compared to the power that the two of them had before.
Then, I decided to go out before I saw Raysonia and Nemesis with empty eyes while holding the piece of cloth that had become a cape.
Because they were fighting over the cloak, the two of them were the only ones who didn’t know. I winked at Seris, who had already known that I had come in, and she sneakily approached me.
I handed her the tea and refreshments I had brought with me, and then walked up to the two of them.
“stop.”
The eyes of the two people who had been fighting over the cloak without even knowing that I had come turned to me.
“Oh, brother…”
Raysonia suddenly came to a halt, looking like she had made a mistake.
Nemesis’ eyes split vertically at Raysonia.
and.
“Ugh!”
With all my might, I pulled the cloak from Raysonia and took it away.
“Ahh…!”
Nemesis’ surprise takeover strategy was effective, and Nemesis, who had completely taken the cloak from Laysonia, jumped back and widened the distance between her and Laysonia.
and…
“Seo, teacher…! “Please help me!”
Why are you coming to me?
Nemesis runs up to me and hides behind my back.
There was no way he could hide like that, but I saw him crouching behind me as best he could.
“Hey, scold him! “You kept trying to take my cloak away from me..!”
In addition, Nemesis, who had forgotten to stick to her ‘Nora’ character, which is her usual way of speaking, even started to gossip.
right.
Nora Nora from Nemesis was a fake.
It was said that a dragon that had just shed its mites was imitating an adult dragon.
From the dragons’ perspective, it was almost like a baby who was probably just in middle school walking around and saying, ‘Ahem!’
and.
Nemesis’ true self… rather than ‘pretending to be an adult’, was revealed to be a ‘nigger dragon’ who had just escaped being a hatchling.
It looked up at me and hugged my legs like a cat that had been rescued from water.
Nemesis said, holding my leg in one hand and my cloak in the other.
“Father, quickly explain to him that it is true that this body was given this cape by the teacher…!”
I don’t know why, but it seemed like Nemesis was filled with courage because of me.
The way he spoke became a bit strange as he changed back to the Nora Nora character.
“Brother… this, this…”
“hehehehe! You’re trying to take the cloak from this body…! “It’s a hundred years away!”
I saw Raysonia looking at me and Nemesis, who was even more courageous after seeing her like that, saying that while still hugging my leg.
first of all.
“Huh?”
Just like that, he grabbed Nemesis by the scruff of his neck and lifted it up.
It was because the horn stabbed my thigh and it hurt.
“Let it fall.”
“B-but…! then…! Then he again…”
Although Nemesis was struggling and resisting.
“…Nemesis.”
“Uuuh…”
Nemesis had already been defeated by me twice.
Nemesis, who firmly maintains the hierarchy based on strong self-respect, eventually nodded.
When I let go of Nemesis, it no longer tried to cling to my leg.
however.
“…Well, teacher.”
“…Why do you do that?”
“…Can’t I just hold it…?”
…Nemesis was looking up at me with an expression that looked like she was going to cry, and I couldn’t even tell her not to do that.
“…Be careful not to touch the horns.”
“Ah, I understand!”
Nemesis, whose face brightens and grabs the end of my sleeve.
…Nemesis is his true self.
So, showing a side other than pretending to be an adult was a certain level of likeability.
After seeing Nemesis not only following the words of the ‘teacher’, but also showing signs of ‘depending’ and ‘trusting’.
Before I even thought about why my likeability increased again even though I didn’t do anything.
“…Come, Beoni…”
I approached Raysonia, who was looking at Nemesis holding on to my sleeve with a look on her face as if she had lost her country.
“Ah, ah…”
As I approached Raysonia, Nemesis made a disapproving expression, but could not bear to let go of my sleeve and followed me.
“ray.”
“……”
Seeing Raysonia looking up at me with dead eyes, I felt a slight chill down my spine.
‘There are times when I wish my brother was very injured… so I don’t want him to go to a dangerous place again.’
I had a similar feeling when Raysonia, who was taking care of me one day, muttered something like that to me after I returned home after being seriously injured.
‘…I wish I could have kept my brother safe forever… If only I had…’
When I remembered Raysonia muttering like that, I couldn’t help but say something.
Still, I said it.
“…First of all, I apologize for ‘lent’ to Nemesis the cloak you gave me.”
Very slightly, the light returned to Raysonia’s eyes at those words.
The chill that was going up my spine also went away a little.
“…You borrowed it, gave it to me?”
“okay.”
When I said that again, Raysonia’s eyes came into focus.
“…As expected, there was no way my brother would have done that. I believed it? …And, if so.”
“But, Ray.”
I said firmly.
“…Anyway, it doesn’t look good for you to force me to ‘return’ something that I personally ‘lent’ to you.”
In fact, it is a serious crime to arbitrarily lend the gift to others.
That’s only true between proper ‘lords of war’, but between me and Raysonia, I think it’s within the scope of ‘understanding’ to some extent.
and.
It was as he said.
“Tsk…”
Raysonia bit her lip and lowered her head.
“sorry. Come, beonim…”
Looking at Raysonia like that.
I stretched out my hand and stroked Raysonia’s head.
“…Please don’t do this. “I… didn’t do well.”
“No, I didn’t do anything wrong. “I understand why you did that.”
It was natural to get angry when you thought that you had given someone else a ‘gift’ that you had given yourself.
Of course, it wasn’t really given to me, but rather it was lent to me.
So far, Raysonia didn’t know about it.
“So, Ray. “Lift your head up.”
Raysonia raises her head at my words.
“…Really, really. “I’m not a kid anymore.”
He also wiped away the tears of Raysonia, who was crying.
And then.
“…Nemesis.”
“Uh, huh…?!”
I saw Nemesis, who was holding onto my sleeve and widening his eyes as he looked at the crying Raysonia, startled.
“Why, why are you calling me… Sir…?”
Why were you scared again?
The tail, which had clearly gone up again with great vigor, was once again hanging limply between the legs.
