39 – Sometimes misunderstandings help

“I-I can’t… … . I never thought I would lose a player to a freshman… … .”

Sophia’s mood is unusual.

I feel an unusually bloody aura.

She muttered to herself in a low voice.

There was a mixture of resentment and sadness in his voice. Even so, it was a nuance that he did not want to admit.

‘Are you talking to me now? What are you talking about?’

But it was such a small murmur that I couldn’t hear exactly what it was about.

However, it was clear that planting was uncomfortable.

If you touch it wrong now, you’ll be in trouble.

I don’t think I can stay still.

Because it seemed like he was angry with me.

If I didn’t step forward and relieve Sophia’s displeasure, she might have expressed her displeasure by saying that it was reprehensible.

“Sophia-sama? What are you doing? Your complexion looks very dark… … ?”

I asked the question as carefully as possible.

Looking back on what I’ve done wrong.

If Sophia’s displeasure was caused by me, resolution was the only solution.

‘Oh, please… … ?’

Maybe it was because he was chatting with Derke in front of Sophia. I had no intention of ignoring it.

There was nothing else to note other than this.

But that such a big-hearted Sophia gets angry just for this reason?

It was absurd even if he reasoned on his own.

That said, no other reason comes to mind. There was no way Sophia would be jealous of Derke.

“Mr. Breeder? Please talk to me separately.”

Sophia, who has removed some of her lifeblood, muttered in a cold voice.

I’m so glad

Was it something that could be solved with words?

Maybe it’s not as big a deal as you think.

“Ah, yes. If I’m rude in front of the young lady, I’m sorry—”

“If you’re sorry to me, I hope you’ll answer me properly.”

Sophia’s voice, which was always warm, is as cold as ice. To the extent that the nickname of the Dragon of Dawn is colorless.

“… Yes, of course. I will answer you as it is.”

“like. If so, please answer once how you can understand and speak the verb.”

“Yes?”

“I feel like I haven’t heard the answer to that question before. Why, is there a problem?”

“That’s it… … .”

A question that strikes you suddenly.

I thought it went well

I must have still had doubts.

I can hardly decide what to answer.

“Even if it is possible to read dragon words, it was a little shocking to understand ancient dragon words that were unfamiliar to me and to answer them with dragon words.”

“… … !”

“Now, can you explain it to me? Mr. Breeder?”

ㅡGulp!

At Sophia’s question, he just drools.

At the same time, the lips are tightly closed.

I can’t even remember what to do.

It felt like watching a pressure interview.

I was proud that I had been able to pass it on well with the method of living, but

It was the first time I was speechless like this time.

‘If I answer that I don’t know the reason, they’ll never believe me… ? On the contrary, he might get even more angry at me for ignoring me.’

ㅡKkkok… !

As a result, Derke froze as well.

It looks like a mouse in front of a cat.

He just grabs my collar from the side and shakes it.

“Why is there no answer? You seem to have a lot of useless thoughts, don’t you?”

“… Well, as I said before, aren’t you interested in history? So, since I was young, I read a lot of books—”

“Are you going to lie in front of me now? In front of the dragon of dawn that even reveals lies?”

As the cowardly lies continued, Sophia cut off my words with a sharp glare in her eyes. As if she is pressuring me, she gradually closes the distance.

I don’t know if I can distinguish real lies like Sofia said, but it didn’t seem like anything good would come from adding more unprofessional excuses.

f*cked. Aren’t you losing your feelings?

How did you achieve conditional rapport?

What should I do in this situation… … .

I was more worried about my likability than my life.

Because the hard work and hard work in the meantime was tearful.

I was afraid that the things I had built up until now would become meaningless.

“Heh, of course it’s not easy to say. I already had such a relationship with young Hetzling… … .”

“yes? Sophia? What did you mean by that? … ?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know.”

“It’s not like that, I really don’t know—”

“You would have said earlier? Lying in front of me won’t do you any good?”

Ah, it seems that you can’t tell lies.

I was asking because I really didn’t know.

It was simply pushed by the principle of presumption of guilt.

ㅡ Again, again!

While I was thinking about how to overcome the crisis, Sophia came closer and stared straight into my eyes.

The steps that oppressed me stopped,

Sophia’s face did not stop.

If you do this, your lips will touch… … .

ㅡTurn up… !

“Hot, Sophia?”

“Stay still.”

“What are you doing now… … ?”

But unfortunately (?) it was Sophia’s forehead that touched me.

With both hands holding my head,

Sophia gently kisses her forehead.

Even the skin on the forehead feels soft.

Her bangs rustle against the Volga.

“Just stay still for a moment.”

I was confused as to what this was all about, but Sophia, who was looking at me, calmly closed her eyes.

‘What are you trying to do all of a sudden?’

But also a moment of embarrassment. As Sophia closes her eyes, an amazing thing soon unfolds.

ㅡHwaaa… … !!!

“what? Suddenly a light?!”

“Tae, the death that shines like the sun… … ?!”

The same light as when I was purifying my motives earlier covers my vision. Again, this light flashed for a very short time, then quickly disappeared.

“As expected, it is as I expected.”

Sophia’s voice came soon after.

Smile with a calmer face.

As if his predictions were correct.

“yes? I have no idea what you’re talking about… … .”

“I can feel the strong kinship energy in your body and mind. It’s probably the influence of the oath I made with Derke.”

“???”

What are you talking about now? Aura of the same people?

Are you saying I’m a reptile now?

Why does the more I listen to the explanation, the more confused I become?

Sophia’s words were not easily understood.

However, the solemn atmosphere could not be broken.

Still, from the look on her face, it looked like she might be able to get over it.

I just stared at Sophia in silence.

“… Besides, I can feel the clearer and stronger soul than anyone else. That’s why I couldn’t help but become friends with the young Hetzling right away… … . I understand.”

No, the person concerned didn’t understand?

“If you have such a warm personality, it would be possible.”

—-Sirreuk… !

Sofia withdraws after speaking to herself.

The forehead separates and the warmth fades.

Silky hair brushes me and moves away.

And what was most impressive was that Sophia was showing me a faint smile.

I don’t know what happened,

Fortunately, things seemed to work out.

The fact that I had used the dragon seemed to be insignificant.

‘But wait. Come to think of it, isn’t this body a real dragon?’

A possibility that flashed through my mind.

At first I thought it was just bullshit.

But just like Sophia said,

In the first place, in a dragon gacha game, all of a sudden, only the breeder is human?

Something was wrong with the setup.

But it’s been a month since I’ve been living with this body.

Physically, there was nothing that could be thought of as a dragon.

“Breeder? What are you thinking so hard about?”

“Oh, Sophia? That is… … .”

Sophia’s clear voice awakens my spirit in the midst of chaos.

“Are you surprised by what happened just now?”

“… Yes, honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised.”

All I could say was this.

I still can’t clear my head.

It’s not clear whether the identity of the body is a dragon, and it’s a relationship like that with Derke… … ?

Neither of them had a clear meaning, so I couldn’t say anything.

I just thought it was fortunate that it passed without any problems.

“Sorry to startle you. I didn’t come to you to tell you this… … .”

ㅡBussleuk… !

Sophia, who looked more calm, rummaged through the hem of the castle.

“Now, please accept this.”

Then he hands me something the size of the palm of my hand.

“ah? Could this be?”

Two thin plates finely wrapped in paper.

Even without looking at the contents, I think I know what it is.

What Sophia promised to deliver to me.

“… Is it chocolate?”

“okay. I was just going to tell you this, but time has been delayed for nothing. Soon my free time will be over.”

“Don’t worry. As I promised, I will make you a delicious dessert.”

“I look forward to that. I wonder what it would have been like if I had made a little deeper promise with you back then. With dessert on the line… … .”

“yes?”

Sophia’s condition is strange today.

I’ll add something I didn’t know before.

Even with a creeping voice, shyly.

The figure that had been on fire earlier had gone, and her pure white face was dyed pink like a peach.

Somehow, the crisis was passed well, but Sophia’s attitude was not understandable.

“Oh, nothing… ! By the way, today’s dessert. Can I have a taste too? I’m so curious about what the hell it tasted like and why my classmates became like this!”

Sophia hurriedly changed the subject and avoided my gaze. She looked around for no reason and pretended to look at her comrades who were still fainting.

It must have been an act to hide his blushing face.

It is very awkward to move the body stiffly. It’s pretty obvious that he’s acting to change the topic.

“If Sophia is okay with it, I can give it as much as I want. Could you please wait a moment?”

“De, I want to eat Derke again… !”

When the heavy atmosphere was completely ventilated, Derke, who was hiding behind me, spoke again.

Since yesterday, everyone can’t afford biscuits.

“yes. could you wait a bit? Yours will be ready soon.”

“Heheh-♬ I get it yap-!”

ㅡDalgrak, chin… !

I immediately brought out a new dessert from the kitchen.

It was already set to some extent, so all I had to do was put it on a tray and move it. Rice flour, if you stir it up a little, it will work out in no time.

“Sophia? These are biscuits.”

“hardtack… ? It’s a name I’ve never heard of. How do you eat this?”

Sophia’s eyebrows rise as she faces the biscuits. It must have been that I was intrigued by the dessert I saw for the first time.

“You just pick it up with your hand and eat it. Be aware that the sweetness may be a little strong, and if you want it too sweet, please eat it with the rice flour provided next to it. And honey for drinks—”

“Well, thanks for the kind explanation. But I don’t have much time.”

Sophia cuts off my lengthy explanation.

She picked up a pair of biscuits.

Then he licked his lips as if he couldn’t stand it.

“… Let’s try it first and judge for ourselves.”

“Derke will eat well too, yap-!”

After that, the two girls sitting at the counter table pick up the biscuits.

Then, at the same time, he puts the biscuits in his mouth and moves his jaw.

“”Wasasak… … !””

As soon as the two dragons chewed the biscuits… … .

ㅡTitling!

[The affection of the subject of conditional sympathy increases significantly!]

Sophia, who hadn’t even moved on my dessert until yesterday, responds with a good feeling.

‘Was Sophia, who was picky about her taste, satisfied?’

[It is already a sympathy target in the ‘worship’ stage.]

[There is no point in increasing the favorability any more.]

“Today, too, delicious Tatsuyong-?!”

Oh, of course, with Derke, who has a much more sloppy appetite than Sophia.

ㅡTitling!

[With the ‘Gourmet Feeding’ effect, the rapport target will do anything for you today!]

huh? But what else is this?
