How to Live as a Half-Dragon

008. Something like this… Slayer… ?

The three Slayers managed to clear the situation before the scene became too mad.

“Kane, this is enough.”

At Veronica’s words, Kane, who blocked Hughes’ path, knocked off several flying stones, and the shower of stones stopped shortly thereafter.

“Just stop here.”

“Are you going to stop here?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! She cheated on us!”

“okay? Is that so resentful?”

“of course! I believed… .”

Looking at the people who were trembling with anger, Kane said as if he was laughing.

“Then, isn’t it right to argue with the author rather than this Hughes, a dragonian? You said you would vouch for it earlier.”

The young man pointed out was the one who threw the first stone earlier.

The young man’s face was afraid that the damage would return.

“me… I didn’t know! It’s not me who’s bad, it’s that b*tch who cheated!?”

“… … .”

There was no conviction or backbone in that appearance.

Kane liked that look.

Because it was the lowest form of human beings.

“Kane. Don’t get too excited.”

The corners of Kane’s mouth, which was about to smirk, cooled.

“Tsk… .”

I want to push myself a little more and play, but if Veronica says that, it’s no big deal.

“Anyway, if you’re not going to tie him up and throw him away, would you like me to return here?”

As Kane waved his hands proudly, the hesitant people began to drop the stones on their hands one by one and scatter.

“Kyaaak! Dirty b*tch.”

“To deceive you with such an ugly face.”

“It’s okay, let’s thank the Slayers who told us the truth… .”

After waiting for everyone to disperse, Slayer Elia checked the empty plaza and opened her mouth.

In fact, it was because there was one more important thing today besides Hughes.

“Senior, how did you look?”

Veronica was lost in thought at Elia’s words.

Veronica had been watching Xian all along.

It was for the purpose of questioning the suspicious boy if he behaved suspiciously.

After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“It wasn’t that there wasn’t anything odd about it, but there wasn’t anything particularly suspicious about it either.”

Even if it was just showing up in the plaza today.

A dragon would be reluctant to encounter a slayer often.

But it wasn’t a boy named Xian.

Once again, they made their appearance here.

“So you’re saying that senpai doesn’t seem to be that boy?”

“Yes, that is my conclusion.”

Of course, it wasn’t just intuition.

In fact, it was after she had completed a separate investigation into the boy Xian yesterday.

‘He said he grew up with his mother in the village from about 10 years old.’

In 10 years, at least if you stop by this town, there will be at least 3 teams of Slayers.

However, if there was never a problem during that time, the probability that the boy was a dragonian was very low.

“Well, let’s say redheads are good citizens. Can we return to the main unit now?”

Originally, there were a few more missions to take care of in the surrounding villages, but now things have changed.

It was because they captured the Dragonians right here.

Their duties will be taken over by other groups.

From now on, the mission of Veronica and the others is to transport the Dragonians.

“okay.”

When Veronica agreed with Kane’s words, Elia was delighted.

“By the way, it’s been a while since Kadan, right?”

Kadan, the holy land of the Slayers, is a huge neutral city on the border that extends to all countries on the continent.

For Slayers, regardless of nationality, it was a place like home.

“When I go back this time, it’s been almost half a year, right?”

“I was fed up with living abroad… .”

The road to Kadan is long.

Even if I did go back, I had to move without rest for about a month.

Knowing that, Veronica hurried her steps and said.

“egg plant.”

“yes.”

The Slayers dragged Hughes and started walking toward Kadan.

* * *

But after about 2 hours or so.

The faces of the three people were not pretty.

It was because it wasn’t as fast as I thought.

“Okay, did this spread completely?”

The three of them were still in the nearby woods of the village of Ornn.

The reason was Hughes.

I tried pulling Hughes’ hair, who had lost consciousness from exhaustion, and slapped him on the cheek, but Hughes didn’t know how to wake up.

Veronica looked at it and sighed.

“I can’t help it, I have no choice but to rest for a while… .”

Elia said, pointing to a huge tree near the forest.

“How about taking a rest under that tree?”

“It won’t be bad.”

Even at a glance, the huge giant tree was clearly a good place to rest.

It was when the three people who moved and approached under the shade tied Hughes in the corner and took a breath and picked dry dried raisins or beef jerky.

Kane, who went to the toilet for a while, returned and said.

“Wait a minute senior.”

“hmm?”

“I found something strange over there.”

Veronica got up and followed Kane.

Kane said as he followed Kane to the other side of the tree.

“What do you think of this?”

Veronica checked the floor Kane pointed to.

“This… .”

It was a rather odd sign.

Traces of artificially digging and covering the ground.

Veronica watched carefully and carefully dug up a large number of traces that were neither too large nor too small.

“footprint?”

For a moment, Veronica’s face was full of seriousness.

Why are there deep footprints here?

Veronica, who had doubts, suddenly raised her head as if she had remembered something.

‘In the tree… . Did he jump?’

It is unclear why he climbed the tree.

But other than that, there is no reason why such traces could have been created.

“If true, it is not a normal physical ability.”

Not the size of an adult foot.

Seeing that there are many traces, it must have been repeated often.

“Are you a resident of this place… .”

The faces of the two came to mind.

Melody and the red-haired boy.

Veronica’s gaze turned to the town she had just escaped.

* * *

Upon returning home, Xi’an felt empty.

I grew up in human arms.

Ever since I was born, I have been living with humans.

That’s why I didn’t realize how deep the chains of hatred were.

He decided and judged that it was not that difficult because his mother had given him infinite affection.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have stayed home.”

It’s true that you have to realize the reality and like it, but the shock was so deep that I didn’t even think about it.

I couldn’t shake it easily, and I couldn’t turn away.

It was a frustrating, tingling feeling.

I was confused when I thought that the world I had lived in and the warmth of the world I had felt was a lie.

“What should I do now… .”

Should I hide my identity and live here as before?

Or he wondered if he should leave to find his place somewhere in the world.

Anyway, if it’s a relationship that will collapse if it’s revealed that you’re a half-dragon one day…

“There is no reason to be here… .”

But even so, it was not easy to choose the option of leaving this place.

This is because there is no guarantee that the world that will accept them exists outside the village.

It was around the time that Xian was at a loss as to what to do.

flinch.

Xian suddenly turned his head and glared at the door.

“why… .”

A sign was rapidly approaching.

It’s not the melody I’ve been looking for in the morning.

The size of mana, the speed of movement.

Looking at various information, it was none other than the Slayer.

‘Should I run away?’

Xian instinctively thought of the option to run away, then shook his head.

You can’t be sure that the purpose of the Slayer is yourself.

In this case, if he acted suspiciously, he could only be caught again.

“There are many other cabins around the house.”

I could have been suspicious of overreacting to something that was just passing by, so I decided to watch it for now.

but…

smart smart

I don’t know why the foreboding always fits.

This time, Xian’s intuition was correct, and it came to a bad ending.

“Is there anything else you can do now?” ?”

There was no choice but to open the door and face the Slayer.

“You’re coming out late.”

Slayer Kane was standing in front of the door.

“What are you doing?”

“Kid, I need to cooperate for a moment.”

“yes?”

Kane’s hand, which answered so suddenly, reached his forehead without delay.

In his hand, there is an identity card that glows with copper.

‘Avoid… .’

Sian removed his hand without hesitation and opened the distance. Of course, I didn’t make the mistake of running into the house.

moved out into the wide

“… How can you look at this?”

Checking his slightly swollen arm, Kane grinned.

“Did you hide one more?”

A reaction as if he was already convinced that he was a Draconian.

Kane, who rubbed his wrist to soothe the tingling sensation, opened his eyes quite seriously.

On the other hand, Xi’an’s head began to spin when placed in an extreme situation.

There was no sign of shock and gloom until a moment ago.

It was because survival took precedence over anything else.

‘Can I run away?’

The option of escaping through the common sense means of conversation was no longer in my head.

There is a sense of knowing that it is not a situation that can be persuaded through conversation.

‘It’s pointless to fight… .’

Opponent is a Slayer.

I didn’t think I would be able to win even if I fought a Slayer that even Hughes couldn’t beat.

‘The only possibility is escape… .’

Even so, he is now careless.

It was a carelessness caused by the fact that both Cyan and Kane knew that there was an overwhelming difference in skill.

And that carelessness was serving as an opportunity for Xian.

‘I’m going to try to use that hand first somehow.’

If there wasn’t an overwhelming difference in skill, he could have tried to reveal his identity after he had been firmly defeated like Hughes, but now he didn’t even seem to recognize it as a crisis.

It was when Xian was thinking the same thing.

Kane’s voice sounded as if he was about to run into it.

“Where should I check what kind of pair you have?”

The Slayer, who had been warming up, rushed in.

‘come!’

Xian raised his eyesight.

It was because he intended to somehow avoid the blow and escape to the other side of Kane.

‘what?’

Xian’s eyes trembled as he glared at the rushing Kane.

Of course it wasn’t because the movement of the Slayer was too fast.

Originally, he tried to avoid the attack and run straight away, but his movements were slow enough to make him think of other thoughts.

‘You’re more careless than I thought… .’

then… .

Xian’s answer was obvious.

The larger the gap, the higher the chance of successful escape.

Xian, who had focused on evasion, switched to offensive.

Kwak.

Xian threw out a tightly clenched fist.

“Kuhhh… .”

Kane, who was rapidly closing the distance, was punched in the face.

Kane flew to the other side faster than he was approaching.

The gust of wind stopped blowing around and there was silence for a moment.

Xian shouted with a dumbfounded face.

“Something like this… Slayer… ?”
