chapter 461
461 – Sortie
The coast in the early morning, just as dawn has just begun.
An endless beach where the morning sun shines.
Was it because of the sunlight illuminating everything?
The sky over the southern region looked as peaceful as ever.
But this is only on the surface.
It was closer to silence than peace.
The morning beach scene was quiet and quiet unlike usual.
Was it because a demonic dragon passed by a few hours ago?
The morning sea had a strange atmosphere.
If it were normal, geese would have been flying around cackling… … .
ㅡShooaaa… ! slam!
Today, only the strong waves crashed against the rock walls and broke lonely, and the scenery of the beach was completely devoid of life.
“Then everyone… … . “You have to take care of yourselves?”
However, a woman’s voice breathes life into this lonely sound of waves.
The main character of the voice is none other than Sophia.
She stood looking at everyone.
Sophia, wearing a pure white shroud reminiscent of a nun’s uniform, bids farewell to everyone.
“Sophia… ? “Are you sure you’ll be okay alone?”
“Hehe, of course. “Even though my lower abdomen is sticking out, I’m still slim?”
“But if something happens along the way, you must contact me. “Okay?”
“all right. Stop worrying about me now and take care of yourself, Mr. Breeder. I’m sending it to you like this because I trust the breeder… … . Please make sure you arrive safely. “Okay?”
“Phew, I understand. I’m sorry for not being there for you. It’s been so long since I found out I was pregnant, but I never thought I would leave you like this… … .”
The breeder responds with a bitter expression.
My chest feels tight, as if it was made of iron.
Because he had to leave the side of Sophia, who was pregnant with his child, even just for a moment. Because I couldn’t keep my promise that I would always be by your side.
“… … .”
The body cannot be turned back easily.
My feet rarely leave the ground.
He was just looking at Sophia with eyes full of regret and regret.
But he had to move.
To drive away the darkness hanging over my toes.
So, to stop the demon dragon, Detronos.
It was really an urgent situation. That thing that had been quietly hiding for 500 years started moving in earnest yesterday.
In fact, it was no different from a wartime situation.
The situation goes beyond local provocation and is on the verge of full-scale war.
The demon dragon had to move first before it stained this land with darkness.
“I’m sorry. Is it really me who is sorry? “You were embarrassed because you insisted on following the breeder in this condition, right?”
“Sophia… … .”
“Don’t worry about me. Just like Mr. Breeder said, I won’t overdo it. therefore… … .”
Sophia trails off in the middle of her sentence.
She was saying goodbye, but
In my heart of hearts, I never wanted to send a breeder away.
But she is now a full-fledged Jackie Chan and mother of one child. You can’t just be immature like a young hatchling forever.
“… Bu, please come back safely and quickly? “I’ll be waiting patiently at the academy.”
“Sure. I’ll be back soon. “I promise.”
“Hehe, then before you leave… … .”
-Wow!
With those words, Sophia falls into the breeder’s arms. She pulls his hand and places it on her lower abdomen.
In the breeder’s palm, he could feel Sophia’s abdomen, which was quite swollen due to the eggs.
“oh? Already this much… … ?”
“Do you have to come back soon for the sake of the eggs that you will see soon? Do you understand, honey?”
“Ah… … . huh.”
“Hehehe..♡ Now go quickly. “You’re busy, so I can’t hold you back any longer.”
ㅡSrurruk… !
Sophia quickly steps back again.
Just sharing a hug was enough.
Just because he left the side for a while didn’t mean the breeder’s feelings toward him would change.
“Oh, right. “I also have something to give you before I leave.”
But this time the breeder hesitates.
Because I had one thing to tell her.
I wanted to pass the time somehow.
Because I wanted to stay by Sofia’s side, even if only for a little while.
“hmm? Mr. Breeder? “Are you going to give it to me?”
The breeder, who released Sophia from his arms, takes a step back and rummages through his travel bag. And then… … .
“It’s nothing special, but please accept this. I was originally going to give it to you yesterday… … . “I had so much work to do that I forgot.”
With those words, the breeder placed something on Sofia’s palm.
He puts down a glass bottle.
It was a palm-sized, star-shaped glass bottle.
Inside, a blue-green liquid is flowing.
“oh? What is this… … ?”
“It’s perfume. Yesterday, Derke and I went around and picked one for everyone… … . It contains apple mint extract. “You’ll probably like it.”
“Mr Breeder… … .”
“It won’t take a few days, but whenever I think of myself, I buy perfume instead—”
“ Mister~! How long are you going to be like that? If this continues, I might not be able to arrive within today-?!”
“oh… … ?”
Riley’s voice cuts through their conversation.
“Derke and Sylvian are ready! “Hurry up, Deathyong!”
As their story continues, Rayleigh and Derke urge with urgent voices from afar. There, everyone except Sophia was ready to leave.
It took longer than expected.
Now it was really time to leave.
After parting ways for a while, I had to move on to do what I had to do.
“Mr Breeder? It seems like everyone is waiting, so go quickly. “I will be leaving for the academy soon, so don’t worry too much.”
“I understand, Sophia. then… … .”
ㅡChu-eup… … ♡
The breeder gives a light kiss before actually leaving.
“Then I will really come back, honey.”
“Ahhh? B, Mr. Breeder… … ?”
After that brief kiss,
Sophia’s body freezes.
I was surprised by the unexpected name.
‘When I said something earlier, you just brushed it off, but did you think you would respond in this way? By the way, I only heard it… … . What is this happy feeling♡’
ㅡJump, jump, jump… … !
The breeder moves forward slowly.
I didn’t bother to look back again.
He finally turned his attention away from Sofia.
For peace on the Drango continent.
For the safety of all your loved ones.
Because it was time to move on.
“Hehe, are you kind to the end?”
Sophia looked at the breeder’s back and thought to herself.
‘And I never expected a gift like this… … . By the way, is it apple mint? Did you know the flower language of apple mint before gifting it to me?
She hugged the perfume bottle the breeder gave her to her chest and reflected on her happy feelings. To keep his heart in the gift intact.
As expected, the flower language of apple mint is simple love and virtue.
Sophia, who received such a meaningful gift, was able to enjoy happiness even when she was briefly away from her breeder.
*
“I’m sorry everyone. It took longer than expected, right? “Let’s leave right away.”
After saying goodbye to Sophia, I went straight back to everyone.
“Ugh-! “This place is ready!”
“Hurry up, Sicho. “We will move quickly and safely.”
Sylvian and Derke urge one another.
Sylvian had been waiting in the form of a dragon since a while ago.
As its name suggests, it had an unusual appearance even at first glance. Unlike other dragons, it had fluffy white feather-like growths on its neck and wings.
“I will follow you right away. “If you fall behind, I’ll come back and check on my juniors, so don’t worry too much!”
As I got on Sylvian’s back, Riley puffed out her chest and told her juniors not to worry.
“Ah, thank you. If possible, I will ask you to distribute your stamina without overexerting yourself from the beginning. “I don’t want even one person to be left behind.”
“Well, then~!” “Don’t worry, just trust me!”
It was just as Riley said.
Behind her is Leylin and the Eros team.
And the Seirin Sonya team was waiting.
Leylin and Seirin also returned to their dragon form and carried their juniors on their backs.
‘Wow, I didn’t know the plan would change like this… … .’
It was like that. Originally, only the three of us – me, Derke, and Sylvian – were planning to move north.
But everyone said they were worried and would follow me, even if it was too late.
Of course, Sophia tried to follow.
But she is currently pregnant.
It was a state that absolutely needed stability.
That’s why I stopped him from forcing himself to follow me.
On the contrary, she was planning to return to the academy alone. And he planned to help Schnelia there and find stability.
“… “If everyone is ready, let’s go now!”
“Yes, please, Sylvian.”
“Hurry up and fly away, Death Dragon!”
“Then hold on tight! “It will go a lot faster than you think, so you’d better be careful not to get carried away by the wind!”
-Fly!
Upon hearing that everything is ready, Sylvian raises both wings high in the sky.
Soon, I will be flying, pushing the air with my wings.
Derke and I were currently sitting near Sylvian’s neck, on the side where the hair was growing.
Sylvian said to hold on tightly to the fur because if you are not careful, the wind pressure may blow it away.
ㅡKkook… !
Just like that, I grabbed Sylvian’s pure white fur that looked like wool but also like a feather. And Derke, like me… … .
ㅡSlap!
“… huh?”
It was then. Small hands grab my body instead of Sylvian’s fur.
“Hehe-♪”
“ah? Derke? Where are you holding on now… … .”
Instead of Sylvian’s fur, Derke comes into my arms and holds my waist tightly.
“I just want to go with my brother holding me!”
“That doesn’t matter, but if you don’t hold on tight, you’ll be in big trouble?”
“The point is to hold on to your worries!” “I’m confident that I won’t fall from my brother’s arms!”
Derke’s cry is strangely persuasive.
I need to hold on to this more tightly.
It was as if Derke’s safety depended on me.
“We’re ready, Sylvian!”
Anyway, that was when we all settled down.
” good night! “It looks like everyone is on board, so I’ll take off now—!!!”
-Fly!
This guy moves his wings quickly when he hears that preparations are complete.
Yesssssssss━━───!!!!!
‘Wow?! Bird, much faster than you think… … !?’
