I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

510 – Side story) The apex predator never misses an opportunity.

“I’m there… … . “I have something serious to say to you.”

After eating Tanghulu, Jeon Shaolin suddenly creates a serious mood.

While looking at Seong Ji-hoon sitting across from me.

Her black eyes without double eyelids were filled with something like a firm resolve. Something similar to the determination to convey my feelings this time.

‘Somehow I feel like I can say it now. During that time, I didn’t know how I felt… … . I feel like it’s finally becoming clearer.’

A feeling of elation fills my entire body.

My thoughts that I had been hesitating for a long time become clear.

It felt like we could finally face each other head on this time.

“Well, Jeon So-rim… ? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? “What are you seriously saying?”

Seong Ji-hoon hesitates as if embarrassed by this.

He smiles awkwardly for no reason.

An ominous feeling was detected in Jeon So-rim, whose mood suddenly changed.

Although he was usually indifferent to the opposite s*x,

I couldn’t help but notice it now.

That’s because she, who had been hiding her true feelings in a grumpy manner just a moment ago, was now giving off a very serious mood.

-Gulp!

‘This atmosphere right now… … . Well, maybe it’s not what I think… … ?’

Seong Ji-hoon denies reality, asking if he would suddenly confess something.

But his concerns were spot on.

Jeon So-rim is currently suffering from a status abnormality.

With the ability ‘Courage’ contained in Tanghulu, she was now much bolder and more honest about her feelings than usual.

It didn’t seem strange at all if he confessed his true feelings to Seong Ji-hoon right away.

“That’s why… … .”

“Hey, Shaolin..? “Would you like to calm down first?”

“What, what? I’m fine, so just be quiet and listen… ! Seong Ji-hoon! You, you know… … !”

Jeon So-rim finally opens her lips with difficulty.

He speaks with a trembling voice.

To reveal feelings that have been ignored for a long time.

ㅡExciting! Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!

Jeon So-rim’s heart is beating like crazy.

At the same time, my face turns red.

Although I was under the courage buff,

Confession was never easy.

“Well.. over there… … .”

Although she has been on numerous stages,

When I try to spit it out, my lips start to tremble.

She, who used to perform choreography in front of thousands of spectators, becomes nervous in front of just one person.

“ … Me, me, what do you think of me?!”

Jeon So-rim finally spits it out with difficulty.

No matter how many status buffs I received,

I couldn’t confess straight away.

When I actually wanted to say it, there were some awkward things, but… … .

“Huh~?”

It wasn’t just the two of them there.

Derke, who was caught in the middle, quietly watched the two while letting out a low sigh. With a more calm expression than expected.

“What do you think of me? What is it now…” … .”

“Jihoon? Now, wait a minute..! That’s not what I’m saying… … .”

“huh?”

“What do you think about ‘that day’…? … !”

“huh? “That day?”

Jeon So-rim, who belatedly senses Derke’s unusual notice, suddenly blurts out her words and twists the content.

“Yeah, right..! I told you earlier that I’m preparing to move these days. “How on earth did you hear me?!”

“aha? What else can I say… … .”

“Ah.. Anyway! Could you come help me that day? There are too many things to organize by myself… … .”

“I’m organizing the moving things.. Hmm! “Is that really what you were talking about?”

Seong Ji-hoon nods his head and agrees. Even though he clearly heard what Jeon So-rim said at first, he was trying hard to pretend not to hear it.

“Huh~?”

He was also watching Derke, who was staring at him right next to him.

“If you have time that day, please come! I have something else to say… … .”

“By the way, Shaolin? “You haven’t told me yet when the moving day is?”

“Ah, it’s… two days later!”

“okay? “There’s less time left than I thought?”

“So, I really want you to come! I got something to eat today, so I’ll buy it that day. And by the way, it’s nice to see each other’s faces… … ?”

“──?!”

Jeon So-rim subtly conveyed her true feelings.

Although I could not confess directly,

I appealed in a way that people would notice.

I thought that no matter how oblivious I was, I would notice at this level.

‘What should I do with this…’ … ?’

The breeder had no choice but to show an embarrassed expression. Because I didn’t know that Jeon So-rim would make another appointment.

“… “What, why isn’t there an answer?”

“No, that’s… … . You said two days later, right? “I’ll check the schedule for that day.”

“schedule? “Aren’t you unemployed now?”

“Are you preparing for a job change?”

“Are you unemployed?”

“Ha, no matter how unemployed you are, you may have prior arrangements with your friends—”

Seong Ji-hoon, who was watching Derke’s thoughts, was just about to refuse the promise.

“I’ll go help you with my brother that day!”

“… what? “Derke?”

“I got help from Shaolin today, and of course I’ll help Derke too!”

Derke smiles and answers instead.

One word from her ends the situation.

I read Seong Ji-hoon’s expression as he was having trouble answering.

Derke, however… … .

“You’re not saying you don’t like Derke because she’s involved, are you, Shaolin?”

Jeon So-rim was presented with interest in his eyes.

Of course, with a smile on my face.

Derke was by no means someone who would easily back down.

I made it public that I could never meet Seong Ji-hoon alone.

“Well, then..! Of course~! I would be so happy if Derke would come to help me… … !”

“Hehe, I’m going out with you again in two days… … . I love it so much-♡”

ㅡPook… !

With those words, Derke rushes towards Seong Ji-hoon. As if showing off, she grabs his arm and crosses her arms, holding him in close contact.

So much so that his chest buries his arms halfway.

“… Huh! Hey Jihoon? I have to go now. “It’s already so late.”

“ah? Shaolin?”

“Thank you, have a good meal. Anyway, see you in two days?”

Jeon So-rim hurriedly gets up.

She felt it instinctively.

There is no place for me to come between these two right now.

“Wait a minute, what do we do with all the clothes you brought?”

“don’t worry. I roughly picked out the ones that didn’t fit earlier and took them out. And I’ll give everything else to Derke!”

“what? “All those things?”

“Anyway, I’m really going! See you both in two days! “I’ll send you the address via Talk~!”

-Chuck!

With those words, he hurriedly leaves. Without even looking back.

Jeon So-rim had no choice but to put down his nose first in the fight with Derke. Because she was human after all.

In some ways, it was a natural result, like the providence of nature.

*

“Derke? Honestly, you felt it earlier too, right? What was Jeon So-rim trying to say… … ?”

After Jeon So-rim left in a hurry, I asked Derke, who was still hanging on my arm.

Normally it would have just passed by,

I wanted to make it clear this time.

That was so uncomfortable.

Because Derke might doubt my feelings.

“huh. “It’s clear that you like that older sister, your older brother!”

“Well, then why did you agree to go help? “You could have refused, right?”

“Like I said before, it’s true that she helped me… … . “I didn’t particularly hate it because it smelled similar to my brother.”

“Smell similar to mine?”

“Yep. A death dragon that had a similar smell and texture to that of my brother. “Is this a smell that can only be felt by good people?”

“It smells similar… … .”

“And if you’re a short-lived human being who doesn’t live for a long time… … . My brother is also human, but he’s probably a female of the same species… … .”

“Derke?”

“Hehe-♪ Derke, don’t worry too much and just do whatever you want! And Derke still has a lot of time… … !”

The guy who trails off and smirks like that.

Derke looks at me and smiles.

It’s as if he doesn’t even care about Jeon So-rim.

‘What is this atmosphere… … ?’

It was a completely unexpected development.

Was it because he grew up coming through the portal?

Unlike the jealous Derke of the past, I felt somewhat more dignified.

I felt like I had grown into a predator who could easily subdue my opponent with just my eyes, without having to bark loudly like a puppy.

But even so, I couldn’t help but feel an uneasy feeling. Because it was a face that seemed to have a plan.

‘… ‘Once it’s all resolved, is it okay?’

Tsk, I don’t know.

First, I have to deal with the dishes piled up in front of me.

***

After the storm passed,

We took some time off for the afternoon.

The actual outing has been postponed until tomorrow, Monday.

I handed a pneumatic meter to Derke, who had almost mastered how to use a cell phone, and entered the room.

‘Maybe because it’s a dragon, it learns quickly?’

Derke was out in the living room alone, saying he would study knowledge about this world by himself for a while. I was planning to organize the clothes that Jeon So-rim gave me earlier.

“Ha, by the way, when will the portal be restored? “I said I would get back to you soon, but isn’t that too shocking to say?”

I was currently looking at the monitor, waiting for contact from the other world. The news could have arrived in the form of an email like last time.

… … .

But nothing happened.

Could it be that things are more complicated than I thought?

Tiring! I thought it would at least display a system message.

‘Then should I look for a simple part-time job in the meantime? ‘If things continue like this, the balance will run out soon, right?’

That was when I was looking around for a suitable part-time job.

ㅡKnock knock!

“… hmm?”

“brother? “Is it okay for me to come in?”

Derke’s voice is heard along with a knocking sound from outside.

“The door is open. “Are you sure you’ve already finished studying?”

“Ugh~! More than that, my brother? “Can Derke prepare dinner this time?”

“What, you?”

Derke was talking outside the door without even opening the door to find out what was going on.

“I was looking for various information on my phone and found something good!”

“What do you mean it’s good? I was just going to have something delivered for dinner tonight… … .”

That was when I said that.

-Chuck!

Only then is the door slowly pushed open.

“Ehihi… … ♥”

Along with Derke’s laughter that became sticky somewhere.

“… Huh? “Derke?”

I turned my gaze to this sound and had no choice but to freeze.

“What do you look like… … ?”

As expected, the sight of Derke standing before my eyes was anything but unusual.

“Ramen failed in the morning! “Derke’s cooking for you again!”

“Well, what… … ?”

“I saw it on the internet! When people here invite their lovers to their house, it is a rule to cook them ramen… … !”

“Gook rules? Well, more than that, Derke… ? “Where on earth do you get clothes like that?”

“Anyway, brother? It’s not Derke’s house, but… … . Do you want to eat ‘tteok’ ramen?”
