42 – Real Pact

Usually, the older the dragon, the more blunt it was to ‘stimulate’.

He will also experience all the stimuli and emotions that exist in the world when he enjoys his ten thousand years of life.

At first, he must have felt joy, anger, sadness, and feelings for the stimulation of life, but the longer he lived, the longer he became numb to the stimulation.

It is said that it feels boring to live even if it is only out of the hetzling period.

A life without stimulation is a painful law.

Not a hundred years, but ten thousand years,

Something that could turn your mind around.

For that reason, the younger the dragons, the more they continued to pursue stimulation. To the point where even eating a single dessert is frantic.

However, chasing only such a big stimulus, it is easy to get tired in the end. Because of this, it was the dragon that even felt boredom in life.

For that reason, there were also beings who found new stimuli in their human form and enjoyed play, or even went into a dormant period and slept for thousands of years.

On the other hand, young Hetzlings are at the height of their curiosity.

I want to experience everything myself,

A childhood that grows up while realizing it directly.

At this time, it was no different from human childhood.

In particular, the younger the Hetzling, the bolder the challenge.

He was born as a being blessed by God and was never hurt, so most of them were full of ambition.

“Haaa… !”

Like Hetzling, who casually takes the mint cream into her mouth.

Despite being disappointed after tasting mint tea earlier, curiosity about the unusual color was triggered. Hatchling just wanted to satisfy his curiosity and stimulation.

“Oh, no… … !!!”

I was astounded by this look.

I was worried about both Derke and his crush.

Didn’t your liking decrease just because you drank mint tea earlier?

But eating mint cream?

Although it was a sweet cream,

It also had the same mild taste of mint.

So, there is a high probability of being disappointed.

I hastily stretched out my hand.

To prevent Derke’s disappointment and despair.

However, Derke ended up… … .

ㅡGulp!

I swallowed the mint cream.

There was no way I could stop it.

It was too late to grab Derke’s wrist.

After the neckline had already swallowed the mint cream.

I’m really excited.

I’m not really a kid at all.

I never thought I would be so vigilant after eating for over 200 years.

Would parents feel like this when they look at a child who touches their hand and puts it to their mouth?

“Heh, hee hee hee… … ?!!!”

In an instant, Derke’s expression darkened.

My body stiffened, and a shadow fell on my face.

Like a dragon of death, he had an expression as if he had visited the underworld for a while.

“… later eh eh? radish, water… … !!!”

“Ugh. Now, here.”

I knew this and poured the water right away.

ㅡBeep, beep, beep… !

As soon as he received the cup, Derke hurriedly drank water as if rinsing his mouth.

Making a fuss while taking only a small amount?

Besides, there was no chocolate?

Do you just hate mint itself?

‘Well, I’m not in a position to say anything with mint chocolate, but… … .’

I’m glad anyway

I wondered what would happen if I lost interest again.

Derke alone regrets and is disappointed.

No status window appeared.

Maybe that’s because I didn’t recommend it this time.

ㅡI’ll tell you… !

I tasted the mint cream while Derke drank the water. Maybe I could have made it really wrong, leaving my taste or taste.

‘Well? Maybe it’s been a while, isn’t it okay?’

The scent of peppermint fills the mouth.

At the same time, you can feel the sourness of blueberries.

A small amount of cheese was also mixed into the cream, so the texture was not bad.

It’s a modern (?) taste that I haven’t tasted in a long time, so I can even feel nostalgic. Even though I don’t have good memories of Mint.

Anyway, if I could go home, I think I could only eat mint chocolate all day today.

That’s how successful Mint Cream was.

It just didn’t suit Derke’s taste.

I feel good that the taste I wanted to express was well implemented.

“Haaa… ?! Oh, is it okay for you to eat something like that?”

“yes?”

“Desuseyong pouring water-?!”

“Nope. I’m okay. That’s enough success.”

In response to my reaction, Derke is silent for a while.

I just look at you with an expression that I don’t understand.

He tilts his head left and right without saying a word.

“De, Derke is in the mood to eat toothpaste, so I didn’t like it… … .”

Derke gives an honest taste evaluation.

Even openly saying it’s not good, nailing it.

This was the first time that such a heartless evaluation had been made.

It’s bound to feel avant-garde to young Hetzling’s taste.

“I understand that. Actually, I didn’t make this to eat.”

“Hey-? So who was it made for? Hopefully for all seniors in 4th grade… … ?”

“No, it can’t be. I want to live a long time.”

“Well, then who the hell is this… … ???”

“This is a real secret, but I was asked by Lady Sophia. He said it was a dessert he really wanted to try.”

“That’s the truth, Deathyong… ?”

Derke tilts his head at my answer.

Then, suddenly, he puts on a serious expression.

It was close to the expression that I couldn’t understand at all.

However, since the opponent is a senior, I don’t think I can say anything. I frown and groan alone. There’s something I want to say about Sophia, but I can’t bear to say it.

Talking behind the back of a high-ranking senior is ridiculous.

“brother… ? Is it okay for Derke to talk about a secret like her brother?”

“yes? suddenly?”

“My brother told me a secret, so Derke also tells me a secret!”

“Poop, good. What is it?”

“I’m borrowing some ears, yap… !”

Derke suddenly comes close to me.

I know roughly what you’re trying to say.

But what a serious expression.

My cheeks move as if I’m about to burst into laughter.

“You should never tell anyone… ?”

“Sure. What is it? I am dying of curiosity.”

Derke pulls my collar and brings me to eye level. And then he put his lips in my ear… … .

“It’s just my personal opinion, but… Senior’s taste, completely incomprehensible, Death Yong… ! Honestly, it’s disappointing for Sophia-senpai-!”

“yes? is that the end? Aside from Sophia’s taste, other secrets—”

“Shh, shh… ! It would be a big deal if the fact that I said something like this goes into the ears of another dragon!”

When I tried to ask back in a loud voice, Derke hurriedly waved his arms up and down, flustered. It’s cute to see young penguins floundering like flapping their wings.

“… That, and most of all, if you get wrongly taken by the seniors, your academy life is over!”

My dad smiles at this reaction.

But Derke, unlike me, was serious.

Derke puts his index finger to my lips with a serious look.

It’s probably meant to keep what you just said a secret no matter what.

“Puff, I get it. I will carry the secret story you just told me to the grave.”

“That’s a good answer, yap-! Then, from now on, Death Dragon will protect all of Derke’s secrets-?”

“Sure. Don’t worry about that.”

“Then, the death use I promised with Derke!”

ㅡSure!

At the same time, he puts out his little finger.

While shining her green eyes quite severely.

Derke was now crossing his fingers with me and asking me to keep his secret forever.

Really, the more I look at it, the cuter it is.

Well, it must be a big deal for the naive Derke.

How dare you disrespect a senior like the sky.

Let’s set the mood and finish.

Soon the cake will be baked.

If you leave it in the oven any longer, it will burn.

ㅡsuk… !

“Now, can we do this?”

“yes-! It’s a desuseyong that even takes a thumbs-up!”

ㅡKwuwook… !

I intertwined my pinky fingers and jammed each other’s thumbs. Then, he quickly untied his hands and was about to head for the oven… … .

ㅡStand up!

“… uh? Derke?”

The pinky finger that was walking across from Derke won’t loosen. To be precise, Derke is not letting go.

Of course, I would gain more weight.

No matter how hard he tried, he was immovable.

Derke was as dumb as a rock, and only moved his lips in a firm posture.

“Desseuyong is not over yet… ! Hurry up and set your eyes on it again, yap-!”

“yes? What more do you have?”

I don’t think it’s the end of the thumb. Does this world have a procedure like ‘sign, copy, scan’?

I don’t know what it is, but I was worried about the cake, so I bowed my head again with the intention of finishing it quickly.

And that’s how I bowed down… … .

ㅡ Jjook♡

It touches something softer than cake.

It felt warm and moist to the touch.

It wasn’t a light cheek kiss like yesterday.

Lips and lips met exactly.

“Derke will continue to trust and follow you from now on! As a descendant of the Death Dragon, I swear Death Dragon!”

Derke, who had left a surprise kiss, parted his lips and shouted vigorously as if chanting a spell.

OK… … .

ㅡTitling!
