124 – Why did you come out there…
“Yura? Where on earth do you want to go…”
After a meeting with Eleona, which was so cold that she almost got caught up in it, she returned to the royal capital… And Yura suddenly said that there was a place she wanted to stop by, so she took my hand.
“Um… Should I keep it a secret? I don’t think it would be fun if I told it!”
She asks for the exact destination, but she just refuses in the cheerful voice from earlier… Although it is clear, she leaves herself to the steps that lead her without knowing where she is going.
“hahahaha…!”
And… Some kind of unnatural smile… Anyone can see, ‘I’m having suspicious thoughts!’ His face looked suspicious, as if he was saying.
The fact that she is usually a bit bad at lying may also play a role, but this level of shamelessness makes even her younger brother suspicious, even though she is not related by blood.
This probably means that they are hiding an act that is close to a crime…
“I think I need to hear where you’re going…? Yura… Something’s suspicious…”
Yura is startled and embarrassed when she narrows her eyes and lowers her voice slightly.
“Uh… Huh? Why…?!”
As if I wasn’t expecting this kind of backlash, I took it in an even more unnatural manner and with a stronger force than before.
“Well, I wonder if you could at least vaguely tell me where I’m going, but you give off a strange vibe and are dragging me in such a hurry… I’m a little suspicious…”
“Ah.. No! Nothing…! Nothing special!”
As she continues to speak more and more, her doubts gradually turn into convictions…
“Then shouldn’t you tell me a little bit about where you’re going? Where on earth are you so anxious to go?”
It had not been that long since I came here, so I was suspicious of him wanting to go this much without knowing much about the road or what was there.
“……”
Then, contrary to the brightly burning sun, under the sky there was something unpleasant and cool…
“Yura?”
I, my younger brother, felt that something was wrong, so I set a guard and quickly tried to let go… But he was holding on so tightly that I couldn’t let go with my own strength.
“Oppa…”
My younger brother calls me in a deep voice that matches the mood… Now that I look at him, his eyes have become slightly dark…
“Where on earth were you planning to go?!”
Although the target was different, I felt anxious due to the frantic atmosphere I had experienced before, but it was already too late.
I am already completely caught by Yura and can’t go anywhere…
“…….”
He lightly ignores my question and just moves closer to me without saying a word.
“….?!”
From Noble mtl dot com
My lips and Yura’s lips are getting closer… Even when I try to fall away, he forcibly grabs me and pulls me towards him.
“Yura…?”
No one could see that anything good would happen, so I gritted my teeth and composed myself, not knowing what would happen…
“Poout…”
Suddenly, the heavy energy disappears, and the light feeling from before comes back in an instant.
“hahahahaha…!”
I suddenly laugh out loud at something funny.
“The solemn atmosphere just now was a joke! Are you curious about where we are going? It’s just… I have some business to do at the temple of Abne.”
As if this was all a play, I no longer felt the gloomy madness or the insidiousness that threatened to rip me off at any moment.
Just a careless laugh… They were bad jokes just to enjoy my reaction…
“Oppa, isn’t he so cute? hehehe…♡ To be honest, I really want to hug him right now because of his slightly scared expression.”
In reality, he was younger than me, but he showed a mature side in a certain way, so for a moment I even wondered if he was a different person.
Half of the time he was joking, but the other half of the time he was genuinely looking at me with strange eyes.
“Avne Temple…? But why me too…?”
“Isn’t it better to go together rather than just split up?”
Even if you look at the reason, it’s not that great… If I were honest, it was an understandable situation…
“I’m sorry if I offended you! Should I just say… I wanted to be a bit mischievous?”
An unnatural expression, dark, empty eyes, and a voice to match…
The thought that this was all designed to make fun of me gave me goosebumps.
“Ah…♡ Oppa’s expression was really impressive…♡ I feel sorry for you, but should I say that he was so cute that I sometimes want to do these rough things?”
What kind of personality did the fox god have in the past? As Yura develops habits that she didn’t have before, doubts naturally arise.
I know that the external and internal aspects are affected by the magical power of the fox god…
Yura seemed to have developed sadism, albeit a slight one…
Enjoying other people’s embarrassed expressions and feeling strangely excited… I guess I wasn’t going to care anymore, but I have to seriously consider finding a way to get Yura back to her normal self…
“Then let’s go~”
A bewitching yet obnoxious smile makes me fear the days ahead…
“What?!”
“Oppa…? Why are you acting like this all of a sudden…?”
Just as I was about to walk down the royal road again, worrying about the future, the back of my neck stiffened.
This time, you can see that he is genuinely embarrassed that it was Yura’s doing.
“?!”
She quickly looked back, but there was nothing noticeable behind the street…
“No… It’s nothing…”
I just felt someone’s persistent gaze on me to the point that the back of my neck was stinging…
Is it because of my mood…?
“Let’s go back to Abne’s temple. Is there anything strange?”
I felt a little suspicious, but at Yura’s urging, I had no choice but to shake off my discomfort and take a step toward her again.
◆◆◆
“……..”
A black girl who exists alone in a forest with no idea where she is.
“Naaat?!”
The last ancient dragon, Mir, despite his noble appearance, what comes out of his mouth is a painful scream mixed with embarrassment and pain.
“Haa… Haa…”
She started to struggle as if she was having a seizure, and soon let out a rough breath as if she was repeating her violent movements.
“Ugh… The darkness is multiplying again…”
I was very clear about my own problems and I also knew how to solve them.
“I need Harold…”
She mutters the name of the man she had dotted and looks up a little at the dry sky as if she is praying earnestly.
“The number of women is increasing… During the time I wasted making artifacts… The number has become unreasonable…”
She felt his presence and was able to control, to some extent, the darkness that was trying to engulf her spirit.
But… It was a situation from long ago… The last time he felt the feminine energy from him was too much.
“I can’t believe Harold is looking at other women than me…”
Exciting!
“Ugh?!”
Once again, he groans due to a violent seizure and falls to the point where it feels pitiful just to look at him.
“I hate the thought of it… If there is that much of a trace left… If I don’t try to remain in his eyes somehow, it will be forgotten in an instant…”
In fact, Mir knew that he had several other women from the time he was dragged to the world he came from, because the senses of the dragon race were so sharp that even the gods found it difficult to imitate them…
But at that time, even if he had another woman, he ignored it because he thought she had it all to herself… But that hope quickly ended in vain, so it seemed like this condition got worse.
“Where is Harold now…?”
With those words to herself, she closed her eyes tightly and concentrated. In fact, thanks to the special magic she secretly planted on Harold, she was able to roughly know where his location was.
“It’s in the royal capital… I’ll find you soon…!”
It may have been a selfish thing to say, not for him but for myself, but it was an unavoidable action in order to avoid being sucked into the darkness.
◆◆◆
“Ugh…?”
Once again, I feel those stinging gazes… Is it like someone is following us…?
But of course, when she looked behind her again, there was no one who looked suspicious. She was walking with distinct steps to do her own thing, so she could not find anyone who looked suspicious.
“Oppa, why are you doing this again? Is there really something?”
This time, Yura looks behind him carefully to see if there is a suspicious person, but he looks ahead again in silence as if he didn’t find his younger brother.
“By the way, even though it hasn’t been long since you came, did you manage to find Goddess Abne’s spell?”
“Um… Well… I had a good memory…?”
After giving somewhat vague answers, we finally arrived at the Temple of Abne. This dreamy-designed building gives us a sense of mystery that we cannot get used to any time we look at it.
“What on earth did you promise with Abne that brought you here… Since we’re here, let’s go in quickly.”
“Wait!!”
However, the moment Yura was about to enter her temple as she wanted, she stopped her by snatching her hand in an urgent yet desperate voice.
“Yura…?”
Her expression, which seemed light and playful just a moment ago, is now so serious, and at the same time, her sad face gives the illusion that her eyes are moist.
“Well… I can’t tell you about the promise until I go in… It’s true that I want to come… But… I also need to mentally prepare a little…”
What on earth did she promise that she reacted like this only after everyone had arrived?…
“Well… You were definitely in love with me, right?”
I keep getting anxious, bringing up embarrassing memories…
“If you think about it, you can’t deny it… But why is that suddenly…?”
“No… Well… If I’m being honest, I should really say that I don’t like it… Because… It’s because I still don’t like it when my brother behaves a little violently… With another woman?”
I can’t understand the words. I don’t want to get to the point, so I’m trying to rephrase it as much as possible, but I can’t understand his true feelings at all…
“What are you talking about…?”
“Really…. Sigh!!”
Yura suddenly falls into my arms and presses against me with all her might…
I couldn’t understand what kind of unexpected behavior this was.
“Oppa…! Kiss me before you go in…!!”
Also, suddenly, in this crowded street, not only was he hugging me, but he also made an absurd request…
“What?!”
It was so sudden and out of the blue that I lost my mind, but it was clear that the priority was to stop Yura from sticking out her lips first.
“Huh…?”
In the meantime, there was a girl caught in the corner of my vision…
“?!!”
Despite being so far away, I am amazed at the stories of life that have spread all the way here…
He has short black hair and a unique dark outfit compared to people on the street…
Mir..?!
I ended up making eye contact with someone I don’t want to meet at the moment…
Mir, who eats darkness…
She was glaring at us, giving off an overwhelming aura that cannot be described in words…
No way, the stinging gaze from earlier…
“Yura?! Can you leave for a moment?!”
I quickly tried to get rid of her when I saw signs that something wasn’t right with her… But it seemed like she had already made up her mind to never let go…
“I don’t want to…! Her heart isn’t ready yet…! Leave her brother like this… Ugh…!!”
And again, I keep saying things I don’t understand and won’t let go of me…
Life is getting worse… I instinctively knew that if I didn’t drop it right away, something bad would happen.
When I cast my gaze towards Mir again, I saw that he was giving off a greater sense of threat than before.
I feel like I am frightened by the atmosphere, which is so threatening and unstable, like a volcano trembling unsafely just before it explodes.
“Ugh?!”
Before I even finished appreciating Mir, I felt the soft texture of my lips…
While I was looking at her, Yura finally took advantage of her guard and succeeded in giving her a surprise kiss…
“…….”
At that moment, my thoughts stopped… And my world became quiet, as if time had stopped.
“?!!!”
And soon… I felt something that could not be undone…
“Yura… Excuse me for a moment!!”
In the end, he picks up his younger brother, who appears to have no intention of moving at all, and starts running recklessly.
Your mind is filled with thoughts of running like crazy to escape the death that is clearly felt behind your back.
I didn’t even have time to hesitate…
“Oppa?!”
He continues to run with Yura in his arms, she probably won’t be able to escape if she doesn’t open the distance now…
If you want to live, run… That’s all I could think of…
“Kaaa!!!”
And as if my thoughts were not wrong, a huge roar soon echoed throughout the capital.
The tremors that shake the heavens and earth and make your eardrums explode, maximize the tension.
“Huh…?! It’s a dragon!!!”
“Why is there a dragon like that in the middle of the village?!”
“Four… Save the people…!! A huge dragon attacks the village!!!”
People in the royal capital began to panic and run away, making it a place of chaos.
“Oppa?! Suddenly there’s a black dragon in the middle of the street!!”
“……”
Ignoring Yura’s words and continuing to run down the street, the gigantic presence showed no signs of moving away…
“Kaaa!!!”
Only the dragon’s roar filled the sky and this street…
