NOVEL NEXT chapter 526
526 – Side story) Perfect for when you’re feeling low
“uuu… ! Oh, my head… … .”
Jeon So-rim, who was lying on the bed, falls asleep.
She turns around with a frown on her face.
Because the headache never subsided.
ㅡRustly… !
After tossing and turning a few more times, she stood up, holding her throbbing head.
This was already my second fainting.
First, if you are startled by a ghost and faint,
The second was a semi-involuntary fainting.
To put it simply, it was an escape from reality.
He couldn’t believe it was like that.
It was impossible to understand with her common sense.
Derke and Leylin both said that their true identity was a dragon.
This alone is surprising enough; all of them called themselves Seong Ji-hoon’s wives. As if he was very proud of that too.
‘You really woke up from a dream this time, right? From monsters to dragons… … . Unless it’s a dream, how can these things happen at the same time?’
Jeon So-rim consoles herself.
I shook my head with my eyes closed.
They say there’s no way something like a dragon exists.
‘… Still, since I dreamed of a dragon, should I buy a lottery ticket?’
She desperately denied reality.
Still, I couldn’t open my eyes easily.
I was worried that it might be a dream.
But this escape was short-lived.
“… Hey, are you okay? “I thought she was a pretty strong female, but I guess she’s still mentally immature?”
“Sister Shaolin? Don’t be too surprised. “We are not dangerous beings!”
“ Huh, huh—!? This voice… … ?!”
But she could never escape the dragon’s coils. Because two dragons were guarding her side.
“It wasn’t like a dream after all, right? ha ha ha… … ?”
Jeon So-rim mutters to herself and laughs. She looked resigned, as if she was tired of being surprised.
“ah! It may have felt like a dream. “My sister’s soul slipped out of her body.”
“Yes, if Derke hadn’t put your soul back in quickly, you probably wouldn’t have come to your senses for a long time.”
As soon as she wakes up, Derke and Leylin continue to say things that are completely incomprehensible.
“… … .”
Jeon So-rim could not say anything.
There wasn’t even a hollow laugh.
He just nodded blankly with a half-resigned face.
“Sister Shaolin? are you okay?”
“… uh? Oh, huh? “Did you call me?”
“I think I still need to calm down. Would you like me to take your seat?”
“No, I’m fine. And more than that… … . Derke?”
“huh-! Please speak!”
“Translucent things flying around you right now… … . “What did you say about that earlier?”
Jeon So-rim musters up the courage to ask a question.
I decided to stop meaningless escapism.
As the saying goes, if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it, I decided to take it one by one slowly.
“Ah, these are ghosts who are my descendants… !”
“Affiliation… ghost… … ?”
“Yep! These kids are always by my side! “They’re ghosts, but they’re definitely not bad guys, so you don’t have to worry!”
Derke excitedly explains this.
He calls the ghosts together.
Then, the ghosts gathered together like giant cotton candy and fell into Derke’s arms.
“Hehehe..♪ Do you want to touch it? “It feels so good!”
Derke patted the heads of those ghosts and tried to reassure them that they were not dangerous at all.
“Oh, no. I’m okay.”
“Deet? They’re cute kids… … .”
“Anyway, you’re part of the Death Clan because you can control ghosts?”
“that’s right! It’s similar-!”
“Whoa, it’s not like we suddenly entered a fantasy world… … .”
No matter how much Jeon So-rim decided to accept reality, she could not easily accept Derke’s recommendation because she was particularly weak against unrealistic things such as ghosts and ghosts.
“… By the way, Derke?”
“huh? “Do you have any other questions?”
“You know… … . If it’s a real dragon, what is its real age? “You never told me how old you were.”
“hmm-! that’s right! age… ! It was difficult to tell, so I just skipped it… … !”
“Are you really younger than me and Jihoon?”
“Hmm, that might be true in terms of human years, but my body got a little bigger as I moved over here. How should I tell you… … .”
“Can’t you just tell me how many years you’ve been alive?”
“Ah, it’s easy if that’s the case! “Based on where I was, I’m 202 years old!”
“What, what, what, what?! But why are you calling me your sister? … ?”
“Wow~♪ Don’t be too surprised. “In the original world, Derke wasn’t as big as she is now, so she was used to calling people who were bigger than her ‘sister’.”
“Oh? Is that so… … ?”
Raylin calms Jeon So-rim, who is still confused, and comforts her back. She smiles kindly. He said in a kind voice that there was nothing to be afraid of.
“Senior Leylin is right… ! “I still feel comfortable being called ‘unni’!”
“Well, I see… … . But why do you call your sister ‘senpai’?”
“yes? that? “Before we are older and younger, we are seniors and juniors at the academy.”
“Academy?”
“It’s a similar concept to the school here. “It’s a compulsory training course!”
“Well, dragons also receive education at educational institutions… ? I never thought about that… … .”
Jeon So-rim decided to understand it slowly, one by one, but every explanation she heard was shocking.
“It’s easy to think of it as a university here! I am a first year student, and senior Raylin is a third year… !”
“Then how old are you… … ?”
“me? “I’ve only lived for 651 years.”
“Hehe? It’s only been 651… ! Then how old are you and Derke? … ?”
“Why are you so surprised? By our world’s standards, he’s still just a hatchling. “I still have a long way to go before I become an adult.”
“Then how long do dragons live?”
“Well~? “If you live really long, 8,000 to 10,000 years?”
“… … ?”
Jeon So-rim is once again at a loss for words with her lifespan so far away. If I had told her that it would take 400 years, excluding vacations, to graduate from the Academy, she would have fainted again.
“How what? Look at my mind! As we were talking, the topic got sidetracked… ! Anyway, don’t be too scared! White… No, if you’re Black’s friend, you’re also our friend!”
“that’s right… ! Above all, my brother told me to take good care of him… … .”
“Ji-Jihoon me?”
“Ugh-! “How dare you be cooking for your fainted sister right now?”
“Ah… … .”
“Anyway, did you say Jeon So-rim? I completely understand that you are very confused right now… … . We also have one question for you. “If it’s okay, can I ask you something?”
As Jeon So-rim appears to have calmed down more than before, Raylin carefully changes the topic. While showing a very serious expression.
“yes? Are you curious about what… … .”
“Since when? “What made you like our black guy?”
“Yes..? Wow, what is that all of a sudden… … ?!”
“Are you surprised again? “I’ve been watching your inner thoughts clearly since a while ago, so don’t think about lying to the dragon.”
“that’s right-! “You tried to confess to your brother two days ago, but you changed your mind, right?”
Jeon So-rim pretended not to notice and tried to withdraw, but
It was an impossible task in front of a dragon.
Leylin and Derke suddenly show up and demand to be honest.
“… … .”
Jeon So-rim’s face becomes increasingly paler.
Because I instinctively sensed something ominous.
If you think about it again, it was no different from trying to seduce a man who owned the place and getting caught.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand that. I don’t mean to say anything. “I was just asking out of pure curiosity.”
“that’s right! If there had been complaints in the first place, they wouldn’t have put the soul back in… … !”
“Well, about that…” … . Where should I start… … .”
Jeon So-rim, who stuttered for a moment due to the dragons’ bloody(?) appeasement, clenches her fists and opens her lips. Now that things have come to this, I decided to confidently say everything.
“… Actually, I’ve always liked it since I was young. “We went to the same school and lived nearby then as now.”
“Oh my? Since you were young? Be fresh… … ♡”
“But Jihoon wasn’t interested in me. “They don’t see me as anything more than a friend.”
“Well… … .”
“So I just gave up my mind early… … . Recently, when we saw each other face to face again, old feelings came up without me knowing… … . Oh, anyway, sorry! I didn’t know there was an owner… … !”
Raylin said it was okay, but
Jeon So-rim lowered her head.
Not only did I have no hobby of stealing other people’s men, but I also had no desire to compete with someone who went beyond common sense.
“How come? Even if you say it’s okay~? And you didn’t know anything? Besides, I liked you.”
“yes… … ?”
“The way he fought back instead of backing down against the thief holding a sword earlier..! “It was a hot energy that is rarely found in human females!”
“Senior Leylin… ? What are you trying to say now… … .”
“And above all, the albino in this world has never been officially married yet. So, wouldn’t it be okay to be a concubine in this world?”
“My wife, my concubine… … ?”
“huh-! “Of course, if our albino likes you as much.”
Raylin offers words of comfort in words that Jeon So-rim cannot understand with her common sense. She must have really liked Jeon So-rim.
“Seniors? “No matter how much it is, it doesn’t seem like an easy decision to make!”
“what? Derke? “Do you hate Shaolin?”
Derke bursts out in anger and votes against this.
“Well, that’s not what I’m talking about! I’m fine, but… … . “I think you should listen to other seniors’ opinions as well!”
“It’s the opinion of other seniors… … .”
“Think about it for a moment! All the times we argued among ourselves about my brother… … !”
“Oh, that’s definitely true. Seirin, even if that were the case, Sofia-senior had some sense of it… … .”
It was just as Derke said.
It wasn’t a fuss in the beginning.
They started a secret plan to monopolize the breeder, taking advantage of each other’s political positions.
“So, this matter needs to be discussed with everyone!”
Derke draws the line with a stern expression. He said it wasn’t something to make a hasty judgment.
“Uh, hey.. but Derke?”
“oh? “Sister Shaolin, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“I didn’t understand everything you just said, but… … . Other seniors…? Does Jihoon have another woman? Besides you and Leylin… … ?”
Jeon So-rim asks a question with a trembling voice.
She stands up unsteadily.
Because it was the most shocking thing I’ve ever heard.
“huh! that’s right-! In addition to me and Raylin, there are 6 other people… … !”
… It was when Derke tried to kindly answer that there was more.
-Snap!
“… You waited a long time, right? “Everyone must be hungry, so let’s eat quickly.”
Just then, Seong Ji-hoon opens the door and goes inside.
With steaming dishes placed on a tray.
The dish he prepared outside was none other than… … .
