I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

6 – Do or Die

“The conversation I just had with the lady. Breeder-san also used the word, right?”

Erdin looks at me with a meaningful expression and urges me to answer.

With an expression of how a human being can speak dragon language, the ancient language of dragons.

“… … ?”

What do you mean now?

When did I write a dragon?

You don’t even know how to use a dialect, let alone a dragon language?

‘Could it be because of Derke’s unusual way of speaking? No, I don’t think it was to the point where I couldn’t understand.’

I reflected on the conversation I had just had with Derke.

Did Derke say something unintelligible?

Never. Rather, it is a speech that remains in the ear.

Then did I say something strange?

Neither is that. It was the standard Korean accent.

To get serious about it, the fact that it is possible to communicate with different races in this fantasy world is a contradiction in itself. Of course, it’s a game world, so even if those factors aside… … .

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand the meaning of Erdin’s words at all.

It was just a normal conversation with Derke.

“Is it too difficult to answer? Certainly, dragons are a sacred language that not everyone can learn… … . It can be hard to tell. I understand.”

“yes? That’s not what I-“

“All right. But thanks to you, I was able to save Yugo-san’s life… … .”

Erdin takes his gaze away from me and turns his head. Then, he shifts his gaze to Yugo, who is moaning on the floor.

… … .

Erdin’s questioning is over, but

The heavy silence continued.

It was at a time when the tension was so high.

—-Flutter, flutter… !

The hem of my shirt is pulled tight.

by small, dainty fingers.

To the point where my whole body would shake in the bracken-like hand.

“What’s wrong, Derke?”

Derke was urgently calling me.

“Breeder brother… … .”

It was a voice that suddenly lost its power.

“yes? Are you hungry again?”

“better… I’m so sleepy… … .”

ㅡPook… !

With those words, Derke suddenly leans on me. He was already using his eyelids as a blanket to cover his green eyes.

“Kuuuuuu… … .”

I use my shoulder as a pillow and fall asleep on my own. Do-Rong-Do-Rong – while blowing his nose.

Lively until now… No, the appearance of being full of life was nowhere to be found.

“Mr. Breeder? Haven’t you noticed yet?”

“yes? ah! I hope I can say the dragon again… … ?”

“okay.”

As Derke fell asleep, Erdin asked again. Her bright yellow eyes were full of vigilance.

“That, well. I have no idea what you were talking about earlier… … .”

“okay. Mr. Breeder must also have circumstances. I’ll just let things go for today. It’s something related to the lady, so let’s do something that never happened.”

“Yes? What about celebration day?”

Soon, as if Erdin had made up his mind, he shook his head slightly and continued talking.

“Strictly speaking, congratulatory speeches are under the jurisdiction of the management department, so I will take care of them myself. I will restore the congratulatory speech to its original state even if it means staying up all night.”

For some reason, normal business processing proceeds.

Normally, I would have been mobilized for restoration work,

Unusually, the responsibility was accurately identified.

Indeed, the sun will rise in the west.

“… Mr. Breeder, please escort the lady to the dormitory. And hurry up and get some rest.”

“Can I really?”

“sure. Wasn’t it your job to manage the dormitories and students?”

What Erdin said was clear.

I won’t hold you accountable any longer,

Hurry up and take that dangerous reptile away.

‘Even at a glance, he doesn’t want to get involved with a dragon.’

that is great. I’ve been off work since before.

I don’t want to stay any longer either.

Pointless extra work is a specification.

“Then I’ll just go in.”

I hugged Derke, who was snoring and swimming in the dreamland, and gave Erdin a simple nod. But she had no reaction.

That would also be true, Erdin seemed unconcerned as he looked at the condition of Yugo, the beastman, who was still lying on the floor panting.

‘What a mess this is from the day before the entrance ceremony… … .’

I entered the main building of the dormitory grumbling.

The inside of the empty dormitory was pretty spooky.

No wonder it’s been empty for 50 years.

I moved my feet cautiously, illuminating the front with a lantern.

Although it is an old building, the dormitory was in almost new condition. It was inevitable because I had been in charge of cleaning and organizing the dormitory since I started working here.

‘Since Derke is a freshman, I’ll just put him on the bottom floor.’

In fact, I didn’t even have a dormitory layout yet.

Because of this, I had no choice but to place it temporarily.

I also didn’t want to do things so carelessly.

However, these damn faculty members seldom helped me.

A few days ago, I asked the Department of Academic Affairs and Administration to give me a list of students to arrange dormitories for students, but every time I visit, they say that the arrangements haven’t been completed yet. And they always postponed it to come later.

But damn, I thought I’d put it off until the day before school started… … .

The Academic Affairs and Administration Department was a department of wooden people.

It was indeed a race fit for public affairs.

Perhaps because it is a species with a long lifespan, it slowed down because it did not have enough time to handle work.

Indrago, the head of the Academic Administration Department, said that it would be okay to place the students on the lower floors starting with the lower grades, and only shook the bare branches as if they were annoying.

It was easy to burn the heart of the person who asked for work with frustration, fearing that someone would not be firewood for the firewood.

ㅡKi profit… !

The door opens with the sound of hinges.

At the same time, the inside of the dormitory is revealed.

It was a structure with two beds, two desks, and two closets in a space of about 15 pyeong.

No matter how much it is a two-person living room,

It was quite large compared to college dorms.

Of course, it might be an infinitely small space for dragons.

The dormitory consisted of a total of 4 floors, and the interesting thing is that the number and size of rooms changed as the number of floors increased. The higher you go up, the wider and more relaxed it becomes.

The 1st and 2nd floors are double rooms like Derke’s room.

Starting from the third floor, all rooms were private rooms.

The last 4th floor was almost at the level of a private house. With a terrace… … .

In a way, there was a feeling that they were divided in order of school year.

Anyway, I’ll talk about things related to the dormitory structure later… … .

“Sleep well, Derk.”

I gently put Derke, who was soundly asleep, on the bed and covered him with a blanket. I also wanted to get some sleep for tomorrow.

“Abu, aww… Abu woo… … .”

Derke, who fell from my arms, spits out drool talk like a newborn baby. He even stretched out his hand in the air and floundered as if searching for something.

‘It’s your daughter’s entrance ceremony, but didn’t your parents come with you? something is right… … .’

I wanted to just pass by because I was tired, but I couldn’t bear to ignore the little hand struggling pathetically.

It was because the childish face of the silver-haired girl who was soundly asleep kept getting stepped on in his mind.

ㅡKkkok… !

Derke held my hand as if he had waited for me to hold it out. I intended to sit by his side until he fell asleep in peace.

ㅡKku-gu-gu-guk!

“D-Derke… … ?”

No matter how strong the little guy’s grip was, he couldn’t get it off. It felt as if my fingers would break if I did it wrong.

“go… don’t go… … . Don’t leave me alone again Death Yoong… … .”

Perhaps the loneliness was great.

Since I was alone at a young age, I had no choice but to do so.

Maybe he didn’t like sleeping alone. That’s why you hold my hand tightly and don’t let go.

But still, sleeping with a student while his name is the headmaster is unacceptable.

Judging by her age, she was definitely older than me, but her appearance was completely childish. For some reason, I felt guilty and couldn’t lie next to her.

—-Sureuk… !

Instead, I took off the vest I was wearing over my shirt and put it over Derke’s blanket. OK… … .

“Sniff, sniff-! Ah, the smell of Dad… … ?”

Derke let go of my hand while blowing his nose.

“go… Thank you DeathYooong… … .”

As if he liked the scent of my vest, he hugged the vest tightly and fell into a deep sleep.

Like a child hugging an attachment blanket.

***

A tumultuous night passes,

Soon it was morning again.

Yes. The long-awaited entrance ceremony day has arrived.

However, there was no big change in my morning routine.

If it was during the semester, I would have woken up the students and conducted a morning roll call, but today was literally the entrance ceremony.

There was no other student to wake up besides Derke.

I was on my way back after taking Derke to the academy’s main building. He waved goodbye to me in a drowsy state.

After that, I returned to the break room and was roasting fresh coffee beans as always.

ㅡDalgrak, dagrak… !

Coffee beans were roasted over low heat in a wide wok-like pan. Those roasted like that gave off a subtle savory smell.

It would have been convenient to have a roasting machine, but you have to hope. There was no such thing in this other world.

So, I had no choice but to carefully roast the beans myself.

‘My arms are all sore from the large quantity.’

Since today was the entrance ceremony, I was stir-frying five times the usual amount just in case.

Now, after cooling these coffee beans for a while, grind them in a grinder.

ㅡTal-Tal-Tal… !

First of all, I spread the beans evenly on a wide tray to cool the roasted ones.

Now it’s time to take a break while the coffee beans cool down.

It was okay to clean the break room, but I didn’t have to because I had done a thorough cleaning yesterday.

ㅡ With my daughter!

But that was then.

It was a time when the break room had not even been opened yet, but someone burst open the door and entered. Who the hell is it that can’t even read the word “CLOSE”?

“Hey, Breeder! Are the preparations going well for the ladies?!”

Ah, I can now tell who it is just by hearing the loud voice. It was John Johnson, the always overworked, grumbling shorthead.

“What are you doing early in the morning? The break room isn’t open yet, is it?”

“Tsk-! Do you know that I am a dwarf who only drinks coffee?! I have come to give you some advice.”

“Advice?”

I don’t know what it is, but isn’t it advice, not instruction?

“So, are you still preparing coffee?”

“Well, other cars are equipped, but… … . Why?”

“I guess no one tipped me off.”

“yes? What?”

“After today’s entrance ceremony, probably all of the senior girls in the senior year will flock to the common room.”

“How many high school girls are there?”

“Well, if the numbers are the same as last semester… … . There will be about twenty people.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, don’t worry. Coffee is plentiful.”

What else did I say,

That much was no problem.

The first day of opening is the day to find out the approximate demand.

This means that everything was prepared in advance.

“Ugh! Because coffee is not important!”

Johnson, whimpering to himself, perched on a high chair. He shook his head as if I was frustrated and continued.

“… The ladies are picky eaters, so I’m not saying they won’t like it with just coffee and tea.”

“yes? That means… … ?”

“Okay, you’ll need coffee and something to accompany it.”

“What if there is no such thing?”

“You say that? Girls won’t like you. And if that happens, your dismissal is already decided.”

“Oh, isn’t that rather good news?”

“No man! It means permanent dismissal from this world!”
