394 – Friendship Or…
“I don’t really know how to hand this over… Could you please accept my heart? … ?”
Sylvian says something meaningful.
At the same time, he pulls my hand.
I press the back of my hand her her her, which is placed on her her chest her her her, tightly.
Was it to clearly convey her true feelings?
ㅡExciting! Exciting! Exciting!
The heartbeat is transmitted to the palm that touches Sylvian’s chest
It was a somewhat rough feeling.
Her heart trembles with each inhalation and exhalation.
But Sylvian’s eyes looked more serious than ever.
The foolish and shy look in my eyes she disappeared, and my face was reflected in my soft ivory eyes hers.
“… Sylvian?”
“Please. I walked around cutting through the wind every day just for this moment. “Only to meet you, the original being.”
My heartbeat was pounding more and more,
The guy’s eyes were calmer than ever.
In a very serious manner, he was begging me to accept his heart.
Maybe it’s natural.
Haven’t you waited your whole life for this?
And that too, over many generations of the clan.
-Gulp… !
But I was more concerned about something else than Sylvian’s meaningful face.
‘Tsk… This is a lot softer than I thought… ?’
The feeling transmitted through my palm was not only the heartbeat.
ㅡPoooook…
It feels like an unfamiliar cushion somewhere.
No, it wasn’t that unfamiliar.
In some ways, it was closer to a familiar texture.
Subtly soft and clean feeling.
On the outside it just looked flat,
I thought it would feel solid…
When I touched it, it wasn’t as smooth as it should have been.
Of course, it was just the feel of the bandage,
It felt very foreign.
As expected, the upper body silhouette revealed above the bandage was clearly that of a man.
The 11-shaped rectus abdominis muscle stands out above the bandage.
The shoulders looked a little narrow,
To some extent, it was all filled with muscle.
Of course, except for the chest where my hand is currently being raised.
At first glance, it resembled the shape of the pectoralis major muscle, but when I put my hand on it, it was closer to the chest than a muscle—
“… Hey, is it the beginning? Why isn’t there anything said? “Do you not want to accept my heart?”
“Oh sorry. “Your heart… No, I was just moved by what you said.”
“Haa? Wow, breasts…?! Hey, take your hands off me now… !”
The serious expression on his face suddenly changes due to a sudden slip of the tongue.
ㅡTaaa!
Sylvian blushes profusely and pushes my hand away. The guy immediately turned his back and hastily adjusted his clothes.
Why is this reaction when it is clearly said that he is a man?
No, doesn’t it look a bit like men putting their hands on their chests? Well, this isn’t even a gym…
“Hmm… ! Sorry. Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and pulled me away, so I was so startled that I was speechless for a moment…”
“Oh, no. Because I was the one who put my hand on his heart in the first place … “I, I am truly sorry.”
“No, you have nothing to be sorry about.”
“Thank you for understanding. At that moment, I was so excited that I could finally fulfill my father’s wish… No, my clan’s wish. I just wanted to convey it to you quickly somehow…”
…
A strange silence flows for a moment.
I’m sure I’m just with a guy,
I was simply feeling my friend’s heartbeat with my hand…
Why are we so embarrassed about each other?
I am also embarrassed by Sylvian’s reaction.
At the same time, my face feels hot.
I feel like I made a big mistake with the opposite sex…
‘Silvian guy… You mean, whether you know it or not, it feels somewhat feminine?’
The same goes for covering your chest with a bandage,
The current reaction was also unusual.
Are you blushing while feeling so embarrassed?
I think maybe he’s just pretending to be a man.
“… But hey, Sylvian?”
“Why…Why are you calling me?”
“I was wondering earlier, what kind of bandage is on your chest? “Isn’t it frustrating?”
“Huh? Well, that’s actually… “It’s because I have scars that I’m embarrassed to show.”
The guy who lowers his head and answers my questions in a hushed voice.
Continuing from yesterday, I tried to find out the gender, but I didn’t expect to get an answer like this.
I feel embarrassed when I hear the word ‘scar’.
“That’s right, I’m sorry. I didn’t even know that…”
“Okay. Even I would have been curious.”
“Then that scar… Did you get it from fighting a monster?”
“Well, it’s not like that, but… Anyway, if that’s the case, know that it is!”
“Huh?”
Avoiding a clear answer like that,
A guy who carefully checks his clothes
Sylvian turns his gaze toward the sea with an embarrassed expression.
I don’t know if the scar is real,
It was clear that something was being hidden.
It was an outright suspicious reaction,
I need to get off my chest now.
You were talking about something much more important than your heart, right?
“But Sylvian?”
“Why, why do you do that? Also, if it’s about breasts, I won’t answer!”
“No, that’s not it, I’m talking about Dragon Heart.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“If it’s as you said earlier… If I receive your Dragon Heart, does that mean I can hear the words left behind by my ancestors?”
“Yes. The problem is Dragon Heart. “I don’t know how to hand this over.”
He quickly regains his composition when the story returns to the main topic. Sylvian looks at his solar plexus with a frustrated expression.
“Hmm? What else am I saying? “If it’s that kind of problem, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“What? Uh, why?”
“Don’t worry, the other kids will teach you how to hand over the dragon heart.”
“Other kids will tell you how…” ” ? “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“What do you mean? Everyone I just met. “They all made a pact with me.”
“Well, if it’s an oath… ?!”
Sylvian’s eyes widen at these words. With an expression of disbelief.
“Okay. I’m embarrassed to say it with my own mouth, but it’s because they are all people who made a pact of love with me. Everyone knows how to get the dragon heart out of the body.”
“What kind of nonsense is that… ?”
Sylvian cannot keep his mouth shut at my answer. It seems like you can see the dragon heart inside its wide open mouth.
“Because they are all guys who have a sincere connection with me. And like I said earlier, I’ve lost my memory, right?”
“Oh, it was like that. I remember it. But what does that matter now?”
“It has a lot to do. We need everyone’s dragon hearts to regain our old memories and powers. The dragon hearts of six ancestors are sealed within this body. Of course, including those of your ancestors.”

“Ha? How could that be… ?”
“Hmm? I guess this is your first time hearing about this? Anyway, I need your cooperation to release that seal. “Are you going to help me, Sylvian?”
ㅡTurp, trudge… !
With those words, I approached Sylvian. To get a confirmation once again.
“Ah, beginning… ?”
“You answer me this time, Sylvian.”
“…”
This time, Sylvian did not step back and looked directly into Sylvian’s eyes her her her her. He looks at me with serious eyes and moves his lips slowly.
“… I get it. If that’s the case, don’t worry.”
“Are you serious about that?”
“Of course. As I said before, my mission is to convey the will of our ancestors contained in this heart… Besides, it’s my first friend’s request, and I’ll do whatever it takes!”
Sylvian answers with firm determination.
ㅡJerbuk, Jerbuk… !
He also approaches me.
As if he would hand over his heart at any moment.
This bold appearance makes me hesitate a little.
At that moment, a dizzying thought crossed my mind about receiving the Dragon Heart from Sylvian, a man.
And that was then.
ㅡTiring!
[Currently, a new subject wants to communicate with you.]
[In order to communicate with the target, you must meet the conditions.]
[If you meet the conditions, you will succeed in communicating with the privilege.]
[On the other hand, if you are rejected or fail, they may hate you for the rest of their lives.]
[Do you want to accept conditional exchange?]
It has finally arrived.
There must be confidence in Sylvian’s heart
Communication is essential before handing over the Dragon Heart.
‘Accept.’
Putting my uncomfortable thoughts aside, I accepted the conditional rapport.
Because there was no other way anyway. And there was no law that required giving or receiving dragon hearts orally.
That’s right, I received Derke’s Dragon Heart in a rather novel way the other day.
ㅡTiring!
[Conditions accepted!]
◆Conditional rapport target◆
[Sylvian (Lv.550 / Wind) – Like Level]
[Conditions for success in communication – As Sylvian’s first friend, soothe her loneliness with true friendship or passionate camaraderie.]
[Deadline – 3 days later, until midnight]
Messages that come to mind one after another as soon as I accept conditional rapport.
But what is this condition?
Friendship or camaraderie?
This is my first time seeing such abstract conditions for rapport.
Until now, it was possible to achieve this by requesting a dish or completing a specific action…
“The beginning? What makes you think that? It seems like he has an embarrassed expression…”
“Hmm? Sorry. “I suddenly started thinking a lot.”
“Are you tired because it’s late?”
“It’s okay, I’m still fine. More like Sylvian? I have a question…”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Do you have a particular favorite food?”
“Food? Suddenly… ?”
“It wasn’t all of a sudden. Udon said it was just like that? To celebrate becoming friends, I will prepare something really delicious for you. Since name and form are the beginning, don’t you secretly expect it too?”
“… ?!”
It’s friendship, it’s comradeship, it’s love.
I first chose the regular method.
To compete with cooking as always.
In some ways, it could have been seen as something that was pushed blindly, but that was never the case. It was something I said after analyzing Sylvian’s tendencies.
It was also a field I was confident in,
Because it was a field that overlapped with Sylvian’s interests
Why, you never know, a friendship might blossom while talking about cooking with each other, right?
“The original being cooked for me… ?”
“Is it really a burden?”
“Well, that can’t be…” ” ” ? Because I like it so much… “I did it because I couldn’t believe it.”
“Heh, then you agreed?”
“Good night! But what about the beginning? “Can I cook something for you too?”
“Huh? For me?”
“Yes! As you can see from yesterday, I am confident when it comes to cooking! And to prepare a dish for a friend, not a guest… “I think it’s a really good idea!”
Look at this.
I think I got it right.
The response is much more positive than expected.
So what happens if we go one step further and tap into the competitive spirit?
“Good. Then, how about having everyone evaluate the dishes you made? “It’s a competition to see whose food is tasty.”
“Open.. Evaluation? Compete? I am the first being… ?”
