How to Live as a Half-Dragon

005. Dragonian.

Some time in the afternoon, a little after lunchtime.

The inn restaurant, which had become quite quiet, was still in full swing with the children eating.

Normally, he would have finished eating immediately and went out to play, but the Slayer commotion a while ago brought about the current situation.

A child who was frantically eating a meat pie spoke up.

“But Melody will become a Slayer, right?”

What this means is that you have to go back 30 minutes or so.

Right after Melody’s inspection was over, Slayer made a proposal to Melody.

It was a suggestion that he had no intention of becoming a Slayer.

Originally, in order to become a slayer, it was necessary to have a mana-friendly constitution, so it was just a common case for nobles to become slayers.

In fact, if you had talent, you could become a Slayer.

In fact, the first dragon slayer, Fennir, was also, strictly speaking, a commoner who suddenly appeared one day.

Melody answered the friend’s question.

“well… .”

“why? Are you sure you’re not interested?”

“Slayer is cool.”

Speaking of being the target of children’s envy, of course he is a Slayer.

Seeing that dignified and dignified figure a moment ago, I felt my admiration for her grew even more.

“But I am also a woman… . There is no guarantee that it will be… .”

“But did that sister say Melody had talent?”

This, too, could be said to be an obvious fact.

The Slayer had clearly told Melody that.

Since you have talent, don’t you think about becoming a Slayer and making that talent bloom?

Of course, accepting the offer didn’t necessarily make him a Slayer, but Xian totally agreed with the words that Melody was talented. but… .

“I am against it. I hope Melody doesn’t become a Slayer.”

Xian adamantly didn’t want that to happen.

Melody can be said to be a precious friend to Xian.

I haven’t been hanging out often lately, but that hasn’t changed.

However, if she became a slayer, it was no different than saying that she would become Xian’s enemy.

It may have been before, but Xian has no choice but to completely oppose it now.

Because I didn’t want a situation where Melody became my enemy.

“Then why not… .”

It was when the melody mumbled at Xian’s words.

Felt, who had been looking at Xian with his eyes wide open a little while ago, said.

“Are you jealous of Xian?”

“what… ?”

In my opinion, the way he speaks as if he has penetrated his heart somehow arouses the desire to throw a slayer punch.

“Aren’t you envious because Xian was always a slayer when you were playing slayer?”

Who do you see as a b*tch… .

I can’t.

In the afternoon, the slayer play is confirmed.

It’s clear that Felt misses the taste of Slayer Punch.

“no way… . Isn’t it Xian?”

But the problem was that it seemed that Felt wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts.

“Sian, you can’t do that… . Xian is cool and strong, but that doesn’t mean he has no talent.”

“That’s right, if Xian works hard, he will definitely be able to become it. Slayer.”

Some make suspicious sounds along with Felt, and the other girl even makes a decision after confirming it.

It was a moment when I suddenly sympathized with the saying that people go crazy if they are too unfair.

Xian suppressed his resentment as much as possible.

“It’s not like that… .”

“Ah, what’s wrong?”

“That’s right, you don’t have to be shy. Would I have done the same?”

I don’t think you’ll believe me if I tell you more… .

Xian munched on the innocent meat pie.

How did our friends become like this… .

It was time for Xian to lament his situation.

Koo Goo Goo.

‘hmm?’

A small thunderclap was heard in the dry sky.

* * *

“uh?”

“Isn’t it raining outside?”

Xian followed the children and checked out the window at the sound of thunder that came out of nowhere.

I decided to play slayer, but it was difficult when it rained.

‘what?’

I wondered if I had heard it wrong for a moment, but it didn’t seem like it.

It wasn’t just Xian who heard it, but looking at the reaction, it was the reason why not only Xian’s friends but also everyone inside the store acted as if they had heard it.

It was when Xi’an’s puzzled gaze stayed on the sky outside the window.

Koo Goo Goo.

Just then, another sound was heard.

This time, Xian’s eyes, realizing the source of the sound, moved away from the clouds in the sky and down the mountain.

“That… .”

It was Hughes’ apple orchard.

“uh? Can you hear me again?”

“So, is the sky clear?”

Leaving the children who were still unable to grasp the situation, Xian was alone in his thoughts.

‘It must be a Slayer, right?’

It seemed that he had vaguely heard the word about the farm earlier, so Xian was very concerned about the current situation.

“But why?”

It was still a question why the Slayers were planting in the farm.

Xian thought about the reason for a while and accidentally remembered the incident that had happened in the morning.

It was the memory of the moment Hughes and I met eyes.

“no way… .”

Xian got up from his seat and quickly ran out of the store.

“Where are you going in Xian?”

“draft!!”

Cyan exited the store and started running toward Hughes’ farm.

I wanted to run with all my might, but it was impossible because I had eyes to see.

For some reason, there was a reason why the children were following.

Thanks to that, the children and Xian arrived at the farm after about 15 minutes.

“What is it, Xian… .”

“why… , to the farm… .”

After running for 15 minutes, the children gasped for breath and made a sound of pain.

However, Xian had no time to respond to the children’s complaints.

It was because of the battle right in front of them.

The appearance of Hughes competing against three Slayers with his light blue hair flying.

The children also caught their breath belatedly and burst into confused voices without hesitation, as if they had seen the situation.

“what… what?”

“Why is Hughes with the Slayers?”

Hughes was always kind and friendly, so the children’s confusion seemed to be even greater.

“Did I misunderstand like the melody again?”

“Yes, that is clear!”

It was a part that showed how good Hughes had always been.

If it were a normal person, he wouldn’t have thought that the Slayers would have been mistaken, but the Melody work a while ago and the usual good deeds piled up led to this conclusion.

“We have to explain! There is some misunderstanding.”

“But how?”

However, whether the children talked about it or not, Xian kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

It was because the children were distracted and seemed to be missing the most important fact, but it wasn’t the draft.

It was that Hughes’ movements were no longer those of ordinary people.

So, Xian had no choice but to watch Hughes fight.

It’s because you can’t step forward and be suspicious, and if you think about your mother, you shouldn’t get involved.

‘If you’re lucky… .’

It was the fact that Hughes had an advantage in the war.

Both of them had no fatal trauma, but in the case of Slayer, residual scars piled up one by one, whereas Hughes was fine.

However, it wasn’t long before Xian realized that his judgment was wrong.

Cool.

‘why… ?’

It was around the time that the battle lasted about five more minutes.

Hughes suddenly coughed up blood.

No, in fact, things had been going badly for Hughes little by little since before that.

At first, Hughes, who had been coping with it leisurely, gradually received an increasing number of small wounds, and as time went on, he found a noticeable oddity in the fact that he frequently used attacks that cut through the air.

I would have thought that the opponent would have avoided it if I missed even roughly the same, but seeing that there were frequent mishandling without even a hint, it was clear that the current situation had been brought about slowly from then on.

‘But why the hell… ?’

It has reached a point where it is safe to say that the game has been decided.

That’s why Xian couldn’t understand the current situation with his head.

Hughes hadn’t allowed a single fatal blow so far, so it was all the more so.

It was all the more confusing because there was nothing he could think of that would cause him to vomit blood with such a pale complexion.

“finished… .”

The figure of the Slayer can be seen digging into the arms of Hughes, who stumbles as if dizzy, and strikes a decisive blow.

The fight came to an end when Hughes, who had been hit in the abdomen by a fist, flew like a shot and crashed into the mansion.

The Slayer grabbed the hair of Hughes, who fell on the floor with a miserable face, said.

“Dragonian capture complete.”

In the eyes of the Slayers looking down at Hughes, there was no appearance at the restaurant from a moment ago.

There were only predators who had succeeded in hunting.

* * *

After the battle, the Slayers who subdued Hughes ran into the children at the entrance as they tried to leave the farm.

It was the Slayers who pretended to know first.

“These are the little kids I saw at the restaurant earlier.”

“Did you hear the commotion?”

The ruthless look that had pulled Hughes’ hair a moment before was gone.

The two female slayers had infinitely benevolent faces, as if they had never done that before.

When the children looked at Hughes, who was being dragged by his hair by a male slayer, and made a terrifying expression, he said it as if he didn’t care.

“Ah, this woman is a dragonian, so don’t worry about it.”

“Are you a Dragonian?”

“There’s no way Hughes would do that!”

Honestly, Slays, who read the expression of disbelief, said as if they were surprised.

“It looks like you lied to me quite a bit.”

“You cheated? Who is Hughes?”

“okay. Or are we attacking a good man?”

The children still responded as if they couldn’t understand it, but the Slayers ended the conversation as if they didn’t care.

“It’s okay, don’t trust anyone easily from now on if you don’t want to be eaten by the Dragonians.”

After laughing at the children, the three Slayers started moving again.

ten steps… . twenty steps… .

The Slayers came to a sudden stop after moving away from the children.

One of the Slayers who turned around at an angle said.

“But how did you know this place, little friends?”

The question seemed to be directed towards Xian.

It was because his eyes were on Xian.

The melody intervened as Xian, who met Slayer’s eyes, was busy shrinking for a moment.

“I heard a sound. Something like thunder… .”

Melody’s answer, not poetry.

However, the Slayer seemed to think about it for a while, and then turned around without any regrets.

“what… is it?”

It was the time when the Slayers, who had muttered incomprehensible whether the question had been answered or not, started to drift away again.

“But is it true that Hughes is a dragonian?”

Unexpectedly, Felt’s voice stopped the Slayers this time.

“why? Are we suspicious?”

“That’s not it… .”

As Felt averted his gaze at the man’s tone full of displeasure, the other children also helped.

“Hughes sister was very nice.”

“that’s right. I always brought snacks… .”

One of the Slayers glanced at the children and said.

“This situation is not good.”

They are the justice who punishes dragons.

However, isn’t the current situation like a villain who persecutes the good folks?

Slayers have been taught that small misunderstandings accumulate and lead to distrust.

The Slayer, who was lost in thought for a moment, made a decision and opened his mouth.

“Tomorrow noon.”

The Slayer grinned. It was an incomparable smile.

“I’ll confirm that this woman is a dragonian in the plaza.”
