“Cooo… ! Doroong Doroong… … .”

“Hmmm… … .”

“My, my dear… I’m a senior… … .”

“Jip… Go home and sipper… … .”

Late morning when everyone is asleep.

First grade little girls snore.

Some even talked in their sleep.

Perhaps, when he was in high school, he must have taken care of his juniors and had a military discipline.

‘Anyway, everyone sleeps well. I wondered what would happen if I woke up to my presence… … .’

They didn’t even know I had entered the room, they were still flying through the dreamland. Most of them were sleeping with a happy expression on their faces, probably because of their hard schedule.

‘Haa, there’s nothing wrong with the first year numbers… … . Where did something go wrong?’

On the other hand, my facial expression was not good.

Anxiety and worry were piled up.

That’s why I was on an unintended night patrol.

ㅡSneaky, sneaky, sneaky

Like a thief, I killed the sound of my footsteps as much as possible.

It was also important to count the number of total members, but

It was more important not to be noticed by the ladies.

I couldn’t even dare to enter the dormitory for the 3rd and 4th graders. I had no choice but to check by comparing the placement chart and the number of people.

ㅡKi profit… !

That’s how I carefully opened the door to check the last dormitory of the first year.

In the last dormitory, Tina and Derke were snoring and sleeping soundly.

Tina was asleep in the right position, motionless, while Derke… … .

“Hmmm, Dad… … . Death you want to see… … .”

He was muttering in his sleep while hugging my vest that I had covered him with yesterday. While sniffing the smell of my vest.

Seeing him like this makes me sad. Could it be because of that?

ㅡSsutdam, ssdam… … .

The hand automatically goes to the boy’s head.

I wanted to give you even a little comfort.

As if facing a stray dog.

“You worked hard today. Next time your friends bully you, tell me.”

Then he whispered softly in my ear.

This is all I can do for now.

Let’s gently brush the hair of Derke, who is looking for his father like that.

“Kyaa, later heh… … .”

Put a happy smile on your lips.

Did he reunite with his father, even in a dream?

Once you look happy, your heart is at ease.

Seeing his youthful smile makes me smile as well.

‘It’s cute… … .’

I left the last dormitory while reciting a brief comment.

“Whoah, damn it… … .”

But that smile collapsed in my thick sigh and sat down easily. As a result of checking by hand, there was nothing wrong with the total number.

As Berman said, except for Rayleigh in the 4th grade, all the students went to bed normally.

Well, it’s normal if there’s nothing wrong.

But my heart was rather uncomfortable.

The uneasiness that remained in my heart continued to bother me.

You must have counted carefully this time, right?

Why are there 7 people? Wasn’t there originally 8 people?

Or am I misremembering the name?

Returning to the dormitory room, I looked at the student placement table and was troubled again.

As far as I remember, there were exactly 8 people in the SSR class. But unfortunately, I couldn’t remember the names of the eight people one by one.

Just like Sophia or Rayleigh, it comes to mind when you hear the name. It seemed that his memory had faded after living at the academy for a month.

No matter how much I looked at the deployment table, one SSR grade was empty. What’s even more strange is that there is nothing wrong with the total number.

It was truly an unsolvable problem.

I’m still tired, so my head hurts.

It felt like it would explode if I used my hair any longer.

ㅡThump!

Leaving behind my complicated mind,

I sat on the bed and massaged my temples.

It was because of the fatigue accumulated during the day.

As soon as the semester started, there was no time to rest.

And now it wasn’t even over.

I had to stand the damn watch all night.

‘Eh, I don’t know.’

I lay down on the bed, telling myself to f*ck off the duty.

No matter how much I am on duty,

There were no faculty members in the dormitory.

In other words, there was no one to watch over me.

Berman, who was on duty at the main building, had just been there, so there was no way he would come again. That’s why I decided to fill the duty in the most comfortable position.

Like a sergeant’s late duty duty.

What you need to do is not fall asleep.

It’s something I’ve done many times in my military days.

Of course, there was one variable.

In addition to the main building, there was one more duty officer in charge of the academy. To put it bluntly, the professor on duty is the same as the on-duty commander.

Earlier, the 4th graders were feared enough to prepare for the roll call according to FM.

However, there was no reason for the high-ranking dragon to drop by the student dormitory late at night.

Well, it’s not too late to wake up when people show up.

ㅡPalak, palak… !

I leave the complexities behind,

I opened the book I had put on my bedside.

It was a history book of the Drango continent borrowed from Sophia.

As expected, there is nothing like reading while staying up all night.

I’ve been curious about it for a while, but it turned out better.

Shall we read where and what the world view is to kill time?

*

I was able to melt the time last night thanks to the book 「History of the Drango Continent」.

In fact, I tend to fall asleep quickly just by reading a book.

Especially hard books like history books.

Staying up all night was a superficial excuse.

I just wanted to get a good night’s sleep without guilt.

But, somehow, I was so engrossed in reading that it really kept me up all night.

I was worried that it was written in terms of words, but

Not a single sentence was difficult to understand.

It was an easy read without any hesitation.

It was more focused than most web novels.

I just read it, but it feels like a picture is being drawn in my head.

To be honest, the contents of the book were actually outdated. He was literally talking about the history of the Drango continent.

But strangely, thanks to the images drawn in my head, I felt like I was watching a full-length fantasy movie.

“Ugh, I’m going to be sleepy… … .”

I have dark circles under my eyes because I read a book all night. It was a reward for dedicating sleep and coveting knowledge.

Still, thanks to that, I was able to roughly understand the background and setting of ‘Destiny Dragons’.

To summarize the content of the book:

The seal of Detronos, an ancient dragon that had been threatening the continent for a long time, was released, and to prepare for it, an academy island was created on Valkyrie Island.

Most of the ancestor dragons were wiped out, so their daughters took over.

So to sum it up, all the girls who entered the academy were like high school girls serving in the military. For the sake of defending the continent, he received military education from a young age… … .

‘Then, Dercedo’s father must have gone to America, too. Somehow I miss you a lot… … .’

It was a part where I could understand why Derke was looking for his father so much.

‘It’s unfortunate, and I should live with myself first, right?’

It was after I rang the bell early in the morning to wake up all the ladies, and stamped the break room for work.

—-Jorrureuk… !

“It was left over from yesterday, but it smells good.”

Entering the break room, I brewed the remaining coffee from yesterday.

ㅡHorruk… !

I purposely took a sip of the coffee, which had been less watered and was thick. Today, I was determined to get through the day even with the help of coffee.

Ha ha, I think I’m going to buy some now.

It was the same coffee I always drank.

As of today, the taste was different.

The whole body absorbs the coffee like a sponge.

It was the instinct of the body suffering from fatigue.

My whole body was craving caffeine.

A cup of coffee in the morning.

It was the time period I loved the most.

It was a time where no one disturbed me… … .

As the thick caffeine permeates your tired body, you feel somewhat energized.

Even so, both eyelids were heavy.

It was a side effect of forced sleep.

Even if I had to stand up and doze off, I had to endure it with the grace of caffeine.

‘Let’s think about a dessert with mint chocolate slowly and don’t doze off today.’

If you accidentally brushed the tails of the ladies, you would be dead… … .

─The moment I thought about it.

ㅡ smart smart!

“Well? what else?”

I tried to roast the coffee beans first,

A knocking sound is heard from early in the morning.

Now I think I know who it is just by hearing the knock.

There was only one person who would interrupt my happy personal time from early morning.

“Hey, Breeder! Did you sleep well last night?”

“… … .”

Johnson pushes through a door that appears to be five times his size. He was calling me by my first name in a friendly way.

Does this old man have any work? How do you come every day before opening?

“yes? what? Hey, did you become a prisoner overnight?”

“Yes?”

“See the black around the eyes? You’re a complete panda.”

“Ah, I must be tired from being on duty yesterday. I can’t bring you anything today.”

I sighed bitterly and turned my back.

I wasn’t mentally strong enough to do John Johnson a favor, as would a welcome guest.

“Oh, my friend! Do you think I always come here because I want something?!”

“Aren’t you here to drink special coffee again? During the semester, it’s an exclusive space only for girls, but what are you going to do if you get caught?”

“Chemm! Okay, okay… If you’re that sleepy, could you roll a magic weed?”

magical power. To put it simply, it’s a cigarette.

More addictive than cigarettes.

Because of the effect of magic candles, it is said that once sucked in, it feels like being enchanted.

“It’s done.”

I wasn’t a non-smoker, but I didn’t want to get my hands on drugs that looked like drugs.

“okay? So what about this? Maybe your eyes will light up?”

Johnson, who persistently bites me.

This man is very strange these days.

Unlike usual, don’t you call me a friend?

It was a nuance that seemed to keep taking care of me.

It is probably because of the increase in favorability due to the biscuits.

“What? Did you bring a present for me?”

“Are you saying you’re too quick to notice? to see it once. grunt… !”

Johnson groaned to himself and sat down on a chair taller than himself… … .

ㅡTeouk!

“This is my gift. Would you like to see it?”

“yes? What is this all of a sudden?”

Suddenly, Johnson puts a book on the table.

I was puzzled that he had brought the book out of nowhere, but

The letters on the cover of the book were even more embarrassing.

「50 Easy and Quick Dessert Recipes」

“What do you think? Isn’t it wonderful? Aren’t you curious?”

“… … .”

You shorty, old dwarf… … .

It seemed that he was determined to suit me to his taste.
