148 – Gathering Specialties
“Mr. Breeder? Is that true… ?!”
“Yes, Miss Eros suddenly rushed at me, so I couldn’t help it. I know very well that it is a great disrespect to touch a young lady’s body, but……. There was no other way.”
“Haaa, I felt a bit uneasy… ….”
In the depths of a lush island.
Sonya lets out a sigh of relief.
Looking at me with worried eyes.
“By the way… …. Are you really okay, sir?”
Earlier, while I was grabbing Eros’s horn and suppressing it, Sonya flew in after hearing a strange scream somewhere.
At first, Sonya was quite taken aback by the way we stuck together. I wondered what would happen if Sonya misunderstood this, but…….
ㅡ Kkook!
“Sigh… ?! Cow, cow? Please let this go…… !”
Now Sonya was holding on to her horns.
Deliberately keeping it far away from me.
Eros was still struggling and begging to let go of his horn.
Despite this earnest request, Sonya maintained her stern appearance. I was blocking Eros from approaching me in the middle.
“Be quiet! Are you going to keep making trouble like this?”
“That’s because it’s not like that… ? I guess I couldn’t help it because Mr. Breeder fell in love with me…… !”
Eros still has not grasped the situation.
He was stubborn until the end.
Because I still thought I was enchanted.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to say such nonsense confidently.
“Ha? Zeroth, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“That poor teacher is still a virgin, so it’s just that he can’t be honest… ! Are you still hiding your feelings!? That and… I’m not Zeros-!”
“I was just saying something… ….”
Even Sonya, her best friend, sticks out her tongue at this consistent response. Then…….
“I can prove it… ?! So let go of the horns! I’ll show you-!”
“Stop… ! Shut up!”
ㅡKkuguguk… !
Once again, Sonya slays Eros lightly with one hand.
“Do you know how serious it is to leave your workplace? If you had come with your senior, you would have been in real trouble, you know?!”
Sonya continued to scold Eros, maintaining a cold voice. She must have been worried as much as she was. You must have been very surprised that we suddenly disappeared.
“B, Mr. Breeder… ?! If the lover you love is being treated like this, will she stand still? Say something—!”
“Haa, Zeros, you really are… ….”
ㅡ Kkadudeuk!
“Hiyaut-♡ Boo, the horns are cold…… ?!”
Sonya’s hands are slightly chilled from the constant outrage. Only then did Eros’ struggles calm down a little.
“Mr. Breeder? I ask again……. Aren’t you really enchanted by Zeroth?”
Sonya, who had quieted Eros, asks.
In a slightly suspicious tone.
I could even feel the coldness in Sonya’s eyes.
Undoubtedly, there was something similar to jealousy in Sonya’s pink eyes. Just making eye contact with her feels like a chill runs down her spine.
“That, it can’t be! As you can see, I am fine.”
“Phew, I’m glad if that’s the case.”
ㅡSlowly… !
Sonya finally let go of Eros’s horn, as if she was relieved by my answer. Even though Eros is unreliable, he probably couldn’t hold on to his horns forever.
“Howuk… ! The Polymorph almost came loose…….”
“Zeros? Just do nonsense to the teacher again! Is it possible to freeze the whole horn this time?”
“Chit-! It’s not like that… ?!?!”
“Haa, you really—”
“… B, breeder teacher!? Are you really okay? Obviously, it would be normal if you were caught in my fascination…… ?!”
Maybe because of Sonya’s warning, the guy who didn’t rush at me and checked me on the spot.
Eros asks in an earnest voice.
With an expression of disbelief.
I have never seen such a serious face of Eros.
“Yes, not at all.”
“heheheh… ? That, can’t it be—?!”
“By the way, I’m disappointed in the young lady.”
“What… ? Shi, are you disappointed?”
“I thought we were getting a little closer now, but I really didn’t expect you to treat me carelessly like this.”
I feel sorry for Eros, but
I shattered his expectations.
Because it was obvious that if I didn’t shock him like this, he would repeat the same thing again.
“That, that, that, that… ! I-I didn’t mean to…….”
At my remark of disappointment, Eros drooped his body as if he had lost his fighting spirit. The boy was speechless with a desperate expression on his face.
It was more unexpected than I thought.
I was wondering what would happen if I rushed at it again,
It seemed to have been shocked in many ways, but it was crooked with a pretty calm appearance.
The guy crouched down on the spot and said, “I can’t do that…” ? Maybe it’s because I haven’t used it for a long time… Muttering something like ‘?’, And dismissed it as something he hadn’t been able to properly demonstrate his abilities due to his old age.
Actually, there was no problem with Eros’ abilities.
The Dawning Dragon Heart only protected me.
If he had been involved with Eros before Sophia, he would have been degraded into his own slave.
ㅡOh so so… !
From nob le mt l dot com
Just thinking about the number of such cases makes my bones ache. If I meet Sophia later, I will have to bow out loud.
“… Hmmm, what about Miss Sonya? Did you finish the report well?”
“Ah, yes. I think we can take a breather here and move on to the next guard post.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Then would you like to go back to the guard post? I-I will guide you… !”
ㅡSue… !
Sonya holds out her hand and stutters her words.
She must be asking me to hold her hand.
It was also intended to keep Eros in check.
That’s right, the two of them are in the blind trust stage.
Now, whenever you have a chance, try to contact me.
Dragons are basically greedy.
This was not necessarily limited to material things.
If I hold Sonya’s hand like this,
Eros will become jealous of Sonya.
Not only that, but it was also something that could make his already selfish personality even more crooked.
‘No matter how hard it is, I can’t separate my friends.’
The law to protect the motives.
It is not allowed to get into fights at work.
Besides, I have something to do here.
“It’s okay. Rather, I heard from Miss Eros that many special products are grown here. If you don’t mind, can I look around here for a bit?”
“Yes… ? Are you planning to gather special products?”
“Yes, I wonder if there are more. I think it will be good to use in a new dessert later.”
“Huh, Mr. Breeder seems to be a very special person.”
Sonya gave a small smile at my answer.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen him smile.
Although my personality has brightened a lot lately,
I’ve never laughed out loud like this before.
Every time it was expressionless or puzzled, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen the corners of my mouth go up like this.
“Huh? Did you just laugh?”
“What do you mean… ?! I, when I…….”
Sonya’s tone shortens again.
Her shy reaction is always cute.
Do you feel like playing more pranks for no reason?
“You just said ‘huh’ and gave a small laugh.”
“That, pollen got into my nose… !”
“Are there only trees around? Not a single flower—”
“Ah, anyway, follow me! I will guide you there too…… !”
“Oh, I’d appreciate it if Miss Sonya guided me personally for me.”
“hehehe… ! Don’t get me wrong! Well, it’s not because of the breeder teacher… Because it is an inevitable choice for fast travel!”
Sonya’s reaction, still disingenuous.
However, everything is evident in the tone of voice and expression.
Well, it’s more like Sonya, so it’s cuter.
“Okay, then can you guide me?”
I smiled at this cute Sonya’s reaction and deliberately stuck close to her.
“hahahaha? Could you please don’t stick too close… !”
As soon as I’m done, Sonya turns her head away. When did you hold out her hand earlier?
ㅡSuseuk… !
The guy comes out with a surprised face and widens the distance.
Then he tried to ignore me and walked away with awkward body movements.
Leaving behind Eros, who was still muttering in despair.
*
ㅡBrush, rustle… !
“Oh, I found it again.”
“What? Did you find it again… ?!”
It takes 30 extra days to collect special products near the guard post. In that short amount of time, I got quite a bit.
That’s right, there were quite a few specialties growing in the place Sonya told me about.
Only four types have been found so far.
Dango fruit that Eros dropped earlier.
A small mountain fruit resembling a cherry.
The tangerine fruit that grows on a small tree,
This one, about the size of a fist, resembles a tangerine from Jeju Island.
… And finally, this one that I just pulled out of the ground.
“This is a drill apple, right?”
“Oh? How do you know?”
Sonya asked back with a surprised face.
I can’t help but not know this.
It was the first specialty I encountered.
“I got it as a gift from Lady Raylin a few days ago.”
“Four?! The senior gave a gift to the breeder teacher… ? There are more competitors than you think…… ?”
I left Sonya’s muttering behind,
She looked at the heavy thing she was holding in her hand.
A fruit that looks like a miniature pineapple.
From the circular motif like an apple to the long blue leaves and sharp outer skin. It looked exactly like a pineapple.
Watching this reminds me of Raylin.
Perhaps after all the training is over,
I must have found it by chance on the way down.
She must have given it to me.
Anyway, I heard that there are a lot of specialties in this area, but I didn’t know there would be so many kinds.
“Eros? Did you find anything?”
“… ….”
“Hey Eros~?”
Sonya belatedly checked her motives,
Eros had been silent since before.
Since earlier, he had been stiff with a blank expression.
It seems that the shock that his ability was not working was quite big.
“Miss Sonya? That seems to be enough. You have to have so many that you won’t be able to take them all.”
“Is that so? Then we’ll move right away. It’s also time for her to move slowly…….”
At my words, Sonya stood up and prepared to move.
ㅡTurb, tumble
In order to soar through the sky once more, the guy walked out of the bushes to the open sky. Supporting Eros, who was crouching helplessly.
ㅡ Kkooooouk… !
I wrapped the fruits I’ve collected so far in a vest. He didn’t bring a pouch or bag, so he had no choice but to use the vest as a bundle.
After getting ready to leave,
It was time to grab Sonya’s hand.
“Hah?! Stand, teacher…… ?!”
Sonya’s hand, which she was trying to grab, turns toward the sky. With a voice that seemed to be surprised by something.
“Hmm? Why is that, Miss Sonya?”
“Hey, over there… ! Something this way…… !”
“Huh? What is that?”
My gaze follows Sonya’s finger pointing to the sky. And then something huge comes into my field of vision.
A huge, black shadow was flying toward us.
ㅡ Shuhwaaa… !!!
That too at a very fierce speed.
