Chapter 676: Dragon (1)
“It’s done.”
‘For now, at least.’
I had created a conflict structure and laid an underplot. I had also included elements that she might regret. It was safe to say that almost everything was ready.
The dinner table was prepared carefully and put in front of Jung Hayan. If she slowly raised the spoon, the work would proceed on its own.
In fact, if I went a bit too far, I could forcibly lift it and move it into her mouth, but I had to stop before that point since I preferred to raise her quality even a little more.
From that moment on, it was best to have Jung Hayan move on by herself. Exactly three days passed, but she still hadn’t reacted all that much, but I wasn’t too nervous all in all.
‘It’s rather natural.’
I didn’t give her time to bite the bait, after all. She had been with me for the last three days. She wasn’t stuck to me all day, but I remembered her being with me at least whenever she could think of Han Sora.
Wouldn’t it be the correct expression to say that I didn’t give her a chance?
I was devoting the time I could use to make her feel even a little less lonely.
Not surprisingly, the Goddess’ Hand Mirror rang immediately.
[Oppa, are you coming again today?]
[You must come. I’ll be studying hard.]
[When will you be coming?]
[Are you coming now?]
The one problem was that the obsession that she used to share with Han Sora had gotten worse, but accepting that much was easy.
As I picked up the hand mirror, I saw more unread messages.
[Honey, do you have some infinity bags to spare? If you do, please bring me one. I’ll reward you.]
It was Hee-ra.
‘My bags are gifts from someone else… Will it be okay?’
It seemed to be irrelevant because it was mine anyway, but I felt uncomfortable for some reason. If he knew that a bag had disappeared from my shelf, wouldn’t Doom Hyunsung react?
[Or tell Kim Hyunsung not to bid above the bag I bid. It’s annoying. Fuck, this asshole.]
‘What…’
I couldn’t understand Cha Hee-ra for a moment, but when I accessed the official Benignore Net auction house, I could see what Cha Hee-ra was saying.
[The Red Mercenary has bid 330,000 gold for Chanelia Hermes’ equipment storage bag (legendary-grade).]
[Kim Hyunsung has bid 350,000 gold for Chanelia Hermes’ equipment storage bag (legendary-grade).]
[The Red Mercenary has bid 430,000 gold for Chanelia Hermes’ equipment storage bag (legendary-grade).]
[Kim Hyunsung has bid 550,000 gold for Chanelia Hermes’ equipment storage bag (legendary-grade).]
[The Red Mercenary has bid 600,000 gold for Chanelia Hermes’ equipment storage bag (legendary-grade).]
[Kim Hyunsung bid 800,000 gold for Chanelia Hermes’ equipment storage bag (legendary-grade).]
‘Gosh, what are you doing… Are you not training? When did you learn to use the Benignore Net auction house? And why did you write your real name as your username?’

I was a little disconcerted.
When I looked at him through the telescope a few days ago, he was definitely training insanely.
He seemed to be checking the auction house even while he was busy, so I wondered if that bastard was really okay…
‘It’s not bad because it’s a hobby, though.’
It didn’t look bad for him to have time to cool down. Since he wouldn’t have much time to do any other leisure activities, he should relieve his stress with something like that, at least.
The problem was that Cha Hee-ra was getting stressed, but I could later lend her a suitable bag separately.
As expected, I found a message he sent a long time ago.
[Kiyoung, I’m sorry for sending this while you’re busy. How are you doing? I’m worried you’re forcing yourself a bit too much lately. Of course, I understand your feelings for the continent, but I fear you’ll be too tired when the main event begins. I hope you’re thinking of your own health a little. And a new series appeared on the auction house. I hope that it will be a little bit of strength to you during difficult times.]
‘…’
I didn’t know how to reply.
Honestly, I wanted it just so Hee-ra could get the storage bag, but unlike Kim Hyunsung, who used guild money, Cha Hee-ra was playing only with her own salary.
I was certain that the match would end in Kim Hyunsung’s victory.
[Oppa, check out the Benignore Net auction house now. Cha Hee-ra is losing badly. LOOOOL!]
Lee Jihye seemed to be happy with the current situation.
[Lee Kiyoung, did the last job go well?]
That was Sun Hee-young.
[Is your head okay? I know you’re busy, but take care of your health. I’m worried that you’ll faint. Oh, and did you see the video I sent you before? Hehe]
That one was Cho Hyejin.
I saw messages from other people too, but I simply sent back a simple reply to them.
What was a little peculiar was that there was no message from Park Deokgu. It seemed like he’s busy doing tactical training.
In the meantime, he changed his profile picture and wrote down famous lines like [Effort never betrays], but honestly, I didn’t have any expectations.
There wouldn’t be anything to lose anyway, so it didn’t matter, but I didn’t know if I’d use him somewhere.
As I checked the messages accumulated in the hand mirror after so long, time passed without my knowledge.
‘Why isn’t this woman coming?’
I had to kill a little more time, so the moment I turned my gaze toward Jung Hayan again, I saw someone opening the door.
“What kind of trash thoughts are you having?”
Dialugia, who I hadn’t seen in a long time, had entered the room. It seemed she didn’t have time to organize everything after the long trip.
“Well, Dialugia doesn’t have to worry too much. There are many things to prepare for. The end of the world is coming, and I, the savior of the continent, can’t be still. More importantly, how is it going?”
“…”
“Did you have some results? I mean…”
“…”
“Did you look for other dragons?”

Expectations accompanied my voice.
‘Some would have responded to her, right?’
It was a race that could make up for our power, which was still a little scarce. They were the defenders and balance keepers of the continent in the past and the ones we could lean on at present since I couldn’t make all 666 angels.
I didn’t hear that the dragons acted directly in the first round, but I thought it would be slightly different in the second timeline. I had a connection called Dialugia, after all.
‘There should be about 20, right? That’s right.’
As she had been busy traveling all over the continent, of course, there had to be results.
However, Dialugia’s face was getting darker and darker. Not surprisingly, she spoke carefully.
“Most of them are reclusive or sleeping…”
“So?”
“Honestly, I haven’t met many of them.”
“Didn’t you keep going around after this incident?”
“Yes, I kept looking around, but…”
“How many responded?”
“T-three.”
“…”
“…”
“Does that make sense?”
“I couldn’t help it. Since they have a very closed and private tendency, I think it is fortunate that at least three answered, honestly.”
“There are only 13 days left, and only three responded?”
“…”
“Well, didn’t you say something about protecting the world and stuff?”
“That is also a thing of the past. Now, the dragons are all scattered and living their lives. Some are hiding in the human world, so I think at least three can help.”
“Didn’t you say that the three responded? Including those living in the human world, there should be more than three.”
“Only one of the three dragons has confirmed to come…”
“…”
“…”
“Wow, this is too much. It’s really too much. Isn’t this the place where everyone lives together? They only want to save themselves… Was it all fake, protecting the continent and all? You just hovered around to look cool, didn’t you? A continental crisis came in, and yet… They are too selfish. Is it enough for them to survive?”
“Once again, it’s a thing of the past. It is humans who have made the situation come to this point in the first place. If you consider that the most have antipathy, we should be thankful. On the contrary, some were pleased with what was happening. Think of the scars humans left on the continent and dragons over the long history. They are those who have already suffered enough. You have to consider their feelings too. Rather, it is a very hopeful situation to be able to get the help of the three.”
“How can it be a hopeful situation with only three helping us?”
“At least they will sincerely fight for our cause.”
“The sincerity of those three will be a great addition to humanity. That’s great, really. It’s a great race. Is there a more selfish race?”
“…”

“Did you properly convey that the dragons are also in danger if the avant-guard is weaker in the first place? I’m saying this because they don’t seem to know the direness of the situation, and they don’t distinguish between humans, dragons, and others. Well, it may come favorably at first, but the ending will remain as a catastrophe. Would you like the world you live in to be a desolate ruin?”
“…”
“Dialugia… you have to find a way. If it goes on like this, we won’t be able to do anything. It wasn’t that the entire race asked for help, nor are we asking them to join the Continental Protection and Management Committee… No matter how different races are, I asked them to protect the foundation of the life we live… but only three responded? This is a joke. They’re teasing us.”
‘Fuck, it’s not wrong.’
Wasn’t it a formal request for help?
Even though I sent a decent envoy, I had to be disconcerted by the fact that only three were coming. And two of those weren’t even certain.
They’re teasing us. It’s no different from requesting to send troops to a country I thought was an ally, but they sent only three hundred people. What would be a joke if that wasn’t?
‘Should I use Tactic Kim Hyunsung to teach them a lesson?’
I wanted to turn the dragon race into a sea of blood.
Dialugia also gave off a tense atmosphere, whether she noticed that my face wasn’t looking well.
I was sure she was ashamed of herself. The self-proclaimed defenders of the continent had become the deep-rooted evils and turned their back to the situation…
She always thought of me as a sneaky human, so she wouldn’t be able to raise her head anymore.
‘Fuck, I was counting on it…’
The Jung Hayan awakening project was running smoothly, but the one I was currently tackling was disappointing. No, it was not just simply disappointing.
In the current situation, where the odds had to be increased even a little, I needed the dragons to join us.
As I patted my thighs, I became lost in thoughts.
“Do the dragons have very few communities?”
“Yes, it’s okay to assume that there is none at all. In the past, I heard that meetings and the like were held, but now they don’t exist at all.”
“But you…”
“I just visited them based on my memories when I was younger. I keep in touch with one or two, but even that only happens every few hundred years. A bookkeeping index was never made as well.”
“Well, is there no interracial affection or anything like that? Is there no such thing as universal love for humanity? If there is someone in need, and if someone is in danger, isn’t it normal to want to help or reach out? I understand they don’t like humans. But isn’t Dialugia a dragon? Even though a dragon asked for help, they respond like this? Dragons are a mean race, a mean race.”
“It’s not like that! We dragons, too, are aware of universal values. Of course, I will not deny that it is a race with strong personal tendencies, but to help those who have not become adults…”
“What?”
“…”
“Say it again.”
“I mean… To help those who have not become adults, or…”
“One more time.”
“To help…”
Dialugia’s face turned pale. She looked like she had made a mistake. Honestly, when I saw Dialugia’s face, I had no choice but to be a little disappointed.
‘What are you thinking, really?’
That I’d put my daughter at risk?
No matter how rotted Lee Kiyoung was, he wasn’t that trashy.
