2 – The employee is about to go home from work

ㅡClicking, squealing… !

When the teapot is tilted, the yellow-brown liquid pours out steam and fills the teacup.

‘Ha, please let me go home from work.’

At the same time, hot steam rose in my chest. It was the resentment of a person who had to leave work on time for a long time.

“Then, let’s have a good drink.”

As I pour the tea, thin, fine hands lightly lift the teacup.

The guy who knocked on the door of the break room right before it closed… No, the guest throws a smile at me. Then, he brought the tea cup to his nose and savored the scent.

“Hmm, a really subtle smell… … .”

“It’s hot, so eat it slowly.”

I can’t spit on a smiling face,

I also tried to respond with a commercial smile.

On the outside, he spoke kindly, but on the inside, he was longing for him to drink quickly and leave.

“Ah, Mr. Breeder by the way? How long has it been since you came to Valkyrie Island?”

However, the opponent did not take it lightly.

I just wanted to drink tea and go.

He was asking me a question right away.

“I came to this academy island… … . It’s been just one month now.”

Dragon Academy Island, Valkyrie Island.

The island is approximately the size of Jeju Island.

Like its nickname, Academy Island, the entire island was an academy.

It is also an educational institution exclusively for Hetzlings. To put it simply, it was an academy in charge of higher education for young dragons.

The average lifespan of dragons is about 8,000 years.

As long as the lifespan was long, the hatchling period was also long.

Humans become adults after 20 years,

Dragon’s childhood was exceptionally long.

From what I’ve heard, it’s said that you can get rid of the title Hetzling only when you’re over 800 years old. And by the time I was over 750 years old, it was time to finish all the education courses.

In other words, you graduate from the academy around the age of 750.

It seemed that the school year was divided into four grades, from 200 to 750 years old, including 150 years of vacation, with 100-year-olds per grade.

In a word, it takes a total of 550 years to graduate.

To put it simply, it felt like a 400-year university.

These are the pieces of information I’ve been finding out over the course of a month.

I don’t know if this is information or not,

It was really hard to figure this out.

It was information that I had barely received by ear while offering coffee to the faculty.

Was it difficult to make a favorable impression with ordinary coffee? All of the faculty at the academy were reluctant to mention the word dragon itself.

To be honest, even when I mentioned the word dragon, they looked around and noticed. With the eyes of a frightened herbivore.

As a result, information was sorely lacking.

I’ve been to the Academy’s old library,

Jira, who was a slave, was denied entry.

As a result, the quality of the information collected during the month was inevitably poor. Moreover, since the island was entirely covered by the sea, it was impossible to even dream of escaping.

‘I should have looked for the original work instead of focusing only on gacha… … .’

I was a newbie among newbies who hadn’t even read the original novel of “Destiny Dragons”.

All I know is the background settings acquired through properties on the Internet. I didn’t know the exact story or setting at all.

However, one thing we know for sure is the heroine’s rating table. I had to memorize the characters on the official website to charge. Of course, only for the SSR class.

But what if you know this information? I was just a single employee. There was also the position of head of the dormitory, but it was just a false title.

How dare a human being manage and supervise a dragon?

Perhaps the faculty members of the academy were also eloquent, but in a way they were no different from me. They just need someone to manage the academy facilities while the dragons graduate.

Oh right! Speaking of facility management… … .

ㅡHorruk… !

Right now, in front of me is the manager in charge of facility management at the academy, sipping a cup of tea.

“Hmm, it really has a deep taste. It’s the first scent I’ve felt in my 600 years of life.”

I just served plain green tea.

An elf woman exclaiming softly.

She sipped the green tea and sipped it.

‘By the way, what the hell are you doing here late at night? I bet you didn’t come just to drink real tea… … .’

She was an impressive woman with shoulder-length yellow blond hair and long ears that sprouted on either side. Besides, even though the horse is 600 years old, he looks like he is in his early 30s.

This dwarf’s name is Erdin.

As I said before, he was the manager.

All of the academy’s props and landscaping were under Erdin’s jurisdiction.

Oh, and, unbelievably, she was the oldest and only woman in the department.

“Mr. Breeder? Can you tell me the name of this car?”

“Just plain green tea… No, it’s just green tea. I’m glad you like it.”

“green tea? green tea? It’s a name I’ve never heard of. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a tea with such a sweet grassy scent.”

“is that so? It’s a fairly common leaf, so I thought Erdin-sama would know about it, but I’m surprised.”

“… Is it common?”

Erdin suddenly puts curiosity into his eyes.

The twinkling yellow eyes look at me.

To the extent that my face is reflected in those clear eyes.

It was as if he was asking if he knew anything more about green tea.

Maybe green tea is not a common item in this world that is different from other world.

“Ah, as for the efficacy of this tea… … . It is an excellent tea leaf for diet and anti-aging. Besides that, to recover from fatigue—”

“No, anti-aging… ?! Is it really?”

“… … ?”

Erdin, who has always been calm, cuts me off and interjects. Even the unusual way of speaking and face was recalled.

Would Qin Shi Huang’s expression look like that when he finally found the herb of immortality?

“Well, it’s hard to say that it has a direct effect, but if you drink it steadily, it will definitely help.”

“I-I never thought such a precious car would exist… … !”

“haha… … .”

It seems that anti-aging is Erdin’s biggest concern these days.

According to a rough estimate, elves here live for about 1000 years, so unlike his current appearance, Erdin’s age of over 600 must be quite high for an elf.

ㅡHoruk, hurl… !

Perhaps because of the word that it is effective in anti-aging, Erdin hurriedly drinks the cup.

‘I was just saying whatever came to my mind… … .’

Just like the phrases found in Bonchogangmok or Donguibogam, which are indispensable in old restaurants.

By the way, what the hell did you come for?

I just wanted to finish and take a break.

To come suddenly and sip tea… … .

As soon as Erdin entered the room, he caught the smell of dried green tea like a ghost, and immediately asked for tea, saying he was curious about what kind of tea leaves it was.

Clearly, at first, it seemed as if he had come because he had business for me.

“there… Mr. Breeder? Where did you get this green tea from?”

Erdin, who had drank green tea from the kettle before he knew it, was touching his own skin and his eyes were shining like stars.

I wanted to ask why you came to me first, but since he was one of the few friendly people in the faculty, I decided to answer first.

It wasn’t even that difficult to answer.

“Oh, I accidentally found it growing at the back of the barn.”

“yes-? Chu, congratulations… … ?!”

I was just answering the question

Erdin suddenly became contemplative.

The face that had been full of life until just now was nowhere to be found.

“Yes, congratulations. there… Are you Erdin? Do you have any problem?”

I don’t know why she was making such a fuss, but her eyes widened in surprise.

“Look at my mind… ! I didn’t stop by for a leisurely cup of tea like this… … !”

“???”

“Actually, I came because I had something to tell Mr. Breeder.”

“Ah, it seemed like that. But what happened to you?”

Erdin slowly opened his lips, calming his startled heart at my question.

“Mr. Breeder? Do you know what caused the banquet to be messed up? The management of the barn is the responsibility of the Breeder, right?”

“yes? When I saw it in the morning, I was fine. What happened? I couldn’t go out during work hours because I was cleaning the break room.”

“You didn’t know… ! The barn is in serious condition, but you’d better go quickly! The ladies will be coming tomorrow, but we will both be reprimanded for the poor management… … !”

Ladies, I mean dragons.

No, by the way, are you saying this now?

Do elves get dementia when they get old?

Please tell me about this right away.

“Anyway, go first! I’ll call on duty… … !”

“Ah yes!”

***

There was a small barn at the back of the dormitory common room.

Well, the barn was all chickens, rabbits, and a few goats that would be used for magic practice.

Strictly speaking, the management of the barn was under Erdin’s jurisdiction. However, because there was not enough manpower, they naturally left it to me.

‘Come to think of it, there was a reason why he was kind to me.’

Still, taking care of the animals in the barn at an academy with nowhere to turn to wasn’t a bad thing. Watching them eat hay would make my loneliness go away, albeit for a while.

Oh, and in addition, there was a unique skill of the character acquired while taking charge of the barn management.

“Skill check.”

「Beast Taming (Rank C) – You can communicate with animals smaller than yourself. If you succeed in rapport, your proficiency will rise.」

As I muttered softly, a blue hologram appeared in front of my eyes. It was the only status window that could be displayed in this world.

“The rapport list.”

◆List of rapport success◆

[Rabbit (Lv.1 / None) – Favorable relationship]

[Rooster (Lv.4 / None) – Boundary relationship]

[Goat (Lv.2 / None) – normal relationship]

[…] Slot is full… ]

It can’t be a really shabby sympathy list.

The name is a starting-level character,

That’s all the skills you have… … .

It is clear that the beginning level is a dog horn, a stone age level shit.

The developers must have had a grudge against my aggro complaint and deliberately possessed this character.

I didn’t even put 5,700 characters, but rather, I only put 2 million won, but it was really too much.

ㅡTurbug, turbug… !

I moved my feet while brooding over the feeling of collapse. The surroundings were already dark, so I walked out, relying on a small lantern for my vision.

The barn was located not far from the dormitory common room. After coming out of the entrance and turning around, there is a small wooden building in the back… … .

“… haha? What day is it really today?”

Arriving at the barn, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. It was also because the barn, which had been fine until morning, had now collapsed.

It was completely flattened, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.

furthermore… … .

ㅡBassak, sasasak… !

‘what? What’s moving inside?’

Green eyes were staring at me through the debris of the collapsed barn.

It was clearly the eyes of a beast.

I knew it intuitively in an instant.

That he wasn’t the guy raised in the barn.

Among the livestock in the barn, there was no one that shined brightly like that goblin fire.

‘Then what is that glow in the eye…’ … ?’
