How To Tame an Academy Dragon

91. Flame-like love

“Did you go down to the village? No way. I’ve been to the village once. You guys are Elisha’s guests too, right? I’m sorry.”

“Oh, no. Yes.”

“Go quickly and come back. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Horkos hurriedly put on his coat and immediately opened the door and left.

“What should I do? Shall I follow you?”

Doha shook her head, pointing to the door Horcos had left.

“I have to follow him. He won’t be back for a while.”

Shrugging at Doha, I grabbed the door that was about to close and came out.

I wondered if the conversation could work at best, but it was only about 30 minutes.

I thought I had finally found a clue, but Horcos’s condition deteriorated faster than I thought.

As soon as we stepped out of the house, the scenery that greeted us was not the view of a sunny private resort on the horizon, but the return of a storm wielding a paddle to drown out all intruders.

“Maybe the real end…”

“Grunt…”

Doha holds its breath.

“Elisha!”

They looked at each other blankly at the storm, but when they heard Horcos’s cry, they hurried after him.

“Elisha! Elisha!”

The hollow echo of Horcos echoes in the mountains.

The birds and beasts startled by the old man’s sudden cry sounded loud and sweet.

“It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal. It’s really dangerous at night.”

Returning as an old man with dementia, Horcos was going down the mountain road at high speed.

He may be an old man, but what he has inside is an ancient dragon.

We came down to the village after a month and were able to see the quiet village even as evening approached.

“Gunta! Natasha!!”

Horcos knocked on the door of the butcher shop and the flower shop, but no one came out to greet him.

“No. Where are you all going at this time?”

Doha pulls the hem of my clothes in front of Horcos, who is pacing around with impatient steps.

“Don’t you think the town is empty?”

“It’s quiet.”

I was just thinking about that.

I know the mood has been dampened by the storm that cut off the island, but it’s almost as quiet as a ghost town.

As if people evaporated.

“Is this also the power of Horcos?”

What if the other spells or seals he created were activated?

“I don’t think Horkos would do that.”

Doha directly refuted my suspicions.

Horkos, who was wandering around, turning his head here and there while I was discussing Doha, stopped.

“The harbor side seems to be noisy.”

Horkos, who was pacing, walks downhill, tapping his hand on his hunched waist.

As I chased Horcos away again, I felt the bustle of the port in the distance.

The buzz of people and the busy running of soldiers.

“Elisha! Elisha!”

Horkos shouted at the crowd of people who were buzzing, and everyone turned around at the sound of Horkos’ voice.

“Didn’t you see Elisha? And what are they all doing here!”

“Ayu Elisha is not the problem now! It’s a big deal!”

A stranger came forward and stopped her horcos.

“What a big deal! I have to find Elisha too!”

Horkos gets angry after being blocked by her aunt. Likewise, when the angry woman was about to shout something, someone from the side interrupted and separated the two.

“Let me explain, Mrs. Utah. Will her grandfather come this way?”

It was Sistar who got in between the two. Her gaze toward Horcos was getting quite stingy, but she was a Sistar who intruded at the right time.

“Natasha? You look a lot like Lady Natasha. Up there, open a flower shop…”

“Come on~ Grandpa, could you come this way?”

Systar supported Horkos and winked at us.

Perhaps it’s a story asking you to follow me.

After receiving her glance and sending a sign to her Doha, we followed Cista and Horcos to the back road of the harbor.

“What’s going on? I came down to the village, but there are no people there.”

“Because Joseph went out to sea. Now that the storm is gone, he’s going to head to the continent and call people… He probably didn’t trust the commander.”

Sister’s explanation is full of worries.

“He went out to sea?”

“Yes… Not long after we left, the storm reappeared. Everyone was worried and came out to the port. Just in case they returned.”

This is worse than I thought.

I turn my head and look at the storm taking over the horizon. If you were pulling a boat by yourself, it would be a small boat at least.

A piece of boat will disappear without a trace after being hit by a storm.

“Joseph? Who is Joseph? He went out to sea?”

Maybe he heard our story, Horcos approached.

“This is Joseph’s son. He fishes. You know that?”

“Joseph has a son? Time flies.”

Cista smiled awkwardly at Horkos’s words.

Judging by her laugh, it must have been that the fisherman Joseph had died of old age.

“How long has it been? Did you go to sea?”

“I don’t know. About 20 or 30 minutes must have passed…”

While talking, Sistar continued to peek anxiously toward the storm.

It might be really terrible if people die or go missing due to the vicious public sentiment of the village.

“What can I do?”

I ask Doha, who was listening quietly by my side.

Doha wriggles his eyebrows as if asking why he was asking himself. And when she rolled her eyes wide, she let out a deep sigh.

“What should we do? We have to go.”

Doha looked at Hor Cos, who was talking nonsense while holding on to Sistar, and shrugged her shoulders as if it had nothing to do with it.

“Isn’t it?”

I heard that a person went to die right in front of my eyes, but even if I stay still, the dragonfly is ferocious.

When Doha and I warmed up and warmed up, Sistar, who had been captured by Horcos, approached cautiously.

“Um. What are you going to do? You’re not going out to sea, are you? There are soldiers so you can’t even launch a boat in the first place, and it’s dangerous.”

“Don’t worry, it will fly.”

“Yes?”

Sistar, not understanding what I was saying, asked me back, but instead of answering, I pointed to Doha.

“Don’t be too surprised, okay?”

If you get a heart attack from surprise, it’s a big deal, so prepare your mind in advance.

Sistar, still not understanding our attitude, tilted her head, and I nodded toward Doha.

“I’m really lucky. You’re lucky.”

With Doha’s joke, I can feel the mana in the air condensing into Doha.

“Ohhh. This one?”

Even with dementia, a dragon is a dragon. Horcos let out a low exclamation, as if he felt that Doha was handling Mana.

A few seconds at least.

The condensed mana swirled towards Doha and then spread out in all directions with a bang.

“Eh. Eh? Me, wings, me, wings!”

Sistar stomps his butt and falls backwards.

The black wings of Doha appeared out of nowhere and filled the back alleys. It’s beautiful to look at.

“What are you flirting with?”

When I stare at the wings, Doha blushes and expresses anger. Anyway, it’s a disingenuous dragon.

“Oh, the devil?”

“Tack! Someone said he was a devil!”

“Sorry! Aww…”

Doha heard the devil’s voice and got angry as a joke, but Sistar couldn’t accept it as a joke.

“Hey, I’m sorry. You bit your tongue.”

Covering her mouth as if she had chewed her tongue, she comforts her as she sees her suffering sister.

“That, then who, who are you?”

“De.”

“Dragon.”

It was Horcos’s voice that interrupted Doha’s reply.

At first glance, Horcos seemed to be back to normal as he smiled benignly with his hand on Sister’s shoulder.

“Grandpa? De-dragon, what is that…?”

“Don’t be scared.”

Horcos’s words did not answer Systar’s doubts and fears at all, but she began to catch her breath to see if Horcos’ words calmed her mind.

“Are you back sane…?”

“Wait. It’s a very short time.”

Horcos is smiling, but somehow I feel more anxious.

Isn’t it said that the elderly on the verge of death have a moment when their minds become clearer? It was because he had a vague idea that Horcos’ current state might be just like that.

“Take this.”

Horkos took a small key from his pocket and put it in my hand.

“What is this?”

“It’s the end.”

A conclusion?

I looked at Doha at Horcos’ cryptic words, but Doha shook her head as if she hadn’t guessed anything.

“Joseph is still alive. He should arrive on time.”

“Joseph is alive? Ha, how did Grandpa do that?”

Sister can’t keep up with our conversation at all. Of course.

“Okay. We’ll be back.”

Put the key you received from Horcos into your pocket.

Now. Then, shall I prepare for a while?

Close your eyes and gather mana. And think of the wings that should be behind your back.

You can’t see it, but you can feel it. As mana gradually gathers and begins to take on a distinct form.

“Heo-eok…”

I can hear Sistar swallowing empty air. I hope you don’t surprise me too much. And I wish I hadn’t reported it…

That’s it.

“Hwiyu~ Isn’t it cool?”

When I open my eyes, I see Doha whistling at me.

“Don’t act like a real idiot.”

“I’m a bully.”

“I’m sorry.”

I can feel the flow of mana connected to my back. Her flow is a total of 4 strands. In other words, it is the sound of two pairs of wings spread out.

“Me, me, me.”

Sistar is unable to finish her words and hesitates.

“Ah. You said I was a devil earlier.”

Doha smiled at Sistar and started talking. Then she crouched down in front of Sistar in a very devilishly bad posture and put her face in her ear.

“That bastard is the real devil. Say hello. Hi Aster~”

“Aster?”

Sistar repeated my name like the purple flower she handed her, and she passed out.
