chapter 2
2 – EP.1 I became a companion -2 (modified version)
Originally, humans are considered to be the weakest of all animals.
It has no sharp claws, no thick fur to protect itself, and no lethal poison.
How come you can win against powerful beasts like tigers, lions, and bears?
The reason is that humans are animals that use tools.
Human beings are constantly developing new tools by advancing civilization.
No matter how ferocious beasts are, they cannot stand in front of man-made machine guns.
In addition, since they possessed various weapons with high lethality besides machine guns, it is safe to say that humans are the top predators.
However, if you ask people if humans are apex predators, 100 to 100 will say no.
In this world, no matter how excellent weapons humans use, they cannot win. Because there are animals out of common sense.
An exceptional being whose power each individual possesses can turn the world upside down. That was Shinsoo.
In the history of mankind, the divine beast that almost wiped out humans many times…….
“What?”
It was right in front of me.
‘Those terrorists had a reason why they were frantic to get eggs.’
No matter how many machine guns there are, they are infinitely worthless compared to one Shinsoo.
For terrorists trying to take down government agencies, Shinsoo had infinite value.
‘But in the end, it only made my situation more difficult…….’
No matter where I run, terrorists will pursue me to the ends of the earth.
I tried to run away, but…….
That was no longer possible. I had to run away with all my might.
“I can’t help it.”
Even if the grizzly bears chased them away right now, they will come after me again.
For them, this baby dragon is a being that will make their long-cherished wish come true.
“Let’s go slowly.”
“What’s up?”
Confrontation between government and terrorists. It means that the government knows well about the egg of the divine beast, so I have decided what to do.
You must go to a place where you can get a call as soon as possible and ask for help from a government agency.
“Hey, are you listening to me?”
“Quit!”
“That’s good, then could you please stay in my bag for a while from now on?”
Before hatching, the volume of the egg was so large that it was not possible to put it in.
So, before running away in earnest, I tried to put it in my bag to hide the existence of this dragon.
Because if news of a dragon’s hatching is discovered, the terrorists will become even more obsessed with it.
I’m obsessed with guys…… hahahaha, just imagining it is disgusting.
“Kyuyi!!”
A baby dragon shaking its head and refusing to go into the bag.
It clung to my arm and didn’t even move.
I don’t think it will work, so I try to take it off by force, but I don’t think it will fall, because of how strong it is.
He sent it to me with the determination in his eyes that he would never fall off even if he waved his arms around.
I can’t. It seems that I will have to tear off my arm to forcefully remove the dragon.
“Then… ! Fly first and wait outside the mountain…….”
“Kyuyi!!”
This opinion was also rejected at once.
I strongly appeal that I do not want to be separated from me.
“I don’t want to fall like that…… ?”
I shouldn’t be like this. I have to put on a troubled face. For some reason, I couldn’t stop laughing.
Because for the first time in my life, an animal was staying near me.
It may seem insignificant, but let’s assume that no animal has ever come near you in your life.
If that’s the case, anyone will be easily moved even if an animal comes closer by 1 cm.
If a cute animal hugged me in such a severe condition, I would think that there would be no regrets even if I died.
Since I am now, that must be true.
It’s just that the first animal that approached me was nothing short of a disaster, but I still have to be sensitive.
“I may break up someday, but until then, I will take care of you.”
“Quit!”
A baby dragon with a lively smile. Ears are cute!!
To be honest, I want to keep it for the rest of my life and cherish it.
“Ugh, throb! I barely got past him…!”
The voice of a terrorist leader comes from far away.
I dragged on this for too long. You should hurry up and run away now.
“Hey, it’s a request! Can you put it in the bag for a while?”
“Kyuyi!!”
“If you do my favor, I will do anything for you! Therefore! Huh? No?”
“Kwyi… ….”
A baby dragon starting to worry about my offer.
If you delay more, you will be in big trouble. It’s time to put a wedge in.
“Okay! If you do my favor, I’ll give you anything you want! How is it?”
“Quit!”
At my last suggestion, the baby dragon voluntarily fits into my bag.
… Even though you are young, you are already greedy.
“It looks like it will shake quite a bit, so please forgive me for that.”
“Kyuyi!!”
A baby dragon cries out in the bag as if to say not to worry.
I want to pet her by touching her a lot, but let’s postpone it until later.
“Go!”
I get up from my seat and run towards the predicted field.
My legs, which had enough rest, moved smoothly.
Wouldn’t it be possible to run non-stop to the bottom of the mountain like this?
“What… ? Was the Sword Demon still there?”
‘As expected, I couldn’t escape without getting caught.’
When I was running, my location was discovered due to the rustling sound.
In the end, the chase started again.
But if there is a difference from before, this time my arms are free and my stamina is wide.
On the other hand, the terrorist boss has been running non-stop until now.
In other words, it means that physical limits come sooner than me.
“Hoo-wook… ! Whoop… !”
“Oh, if it’s hard, why don’t you follow me?”
“Noisy! Don’t talk nonsense, give me the eggs you have, you motherf*cker!!”
I’m afraid someone isn’t the boss, so he’s following me until the end while breathing heavily.
That’s probably why he wants to get his hands on the existence of Shinsu.
I admire the hard work of the honest boss. Even so, I have no intention of getting caught.
‘Finally here…’ !’
I got away from the wooded area and met the vast plain that I had been longing for.
In this place, cell phone radio waves would be unconditionally caught, but unfortunately, there was no time to report it.
I had to use my lungs and all my muscles to run away, so I just kept looking straight ahead.
If I somehow manage to get down to the mountain, this chase will be over…….
-Taang!
Gunshots echo all around.
…… Did you have a gun?!
“Kheuheugh…!!”
My leg felt hot for an instant, and I tripped because of the pain, and eventually I fell forward.
“Aww!! Oh, it hurts… !!”
There’s a hole in my leg that I’ve never seen before. Hot fresh blood flowed from the hole and began to dye the surrounding grass red.
“Oh sh*t! I finally got it!”
“Oops…! f*ck!”
I thought I was escaping safely, but I never thought they would shoot me… !!
“If you run away to a place with no cover like this, you’re asking me to shoot, right?”
“What a f*cking bastard! Use it…!! Use it…!!”
“The government whore and you both have the same bad mouth.”
“Shut up!!”
“Ouya! Staring at me like that only makes me feel thrilled, right?”
“Mazo bastard…!”
What is an honest boss…… He was just a f*cking asshole.
“Let’s stop chatting here, and since you won’t be able to run away with that injury, please calm down and give me eggs.”
“What good is it to me if I hand it over?”
“Well? I’ll promise to make you feel comfortable before you suffer any more. Don’t you know that bullets are expensive these days?”
I laughed out loud. Of course, I didn’t expect much, but it’s ridiculous to say that he will kill me anyway.
Terrorists are also constant scum.
“So what are you going to do now? I don’t care. Kill you right away and take the egg, or kill you as painfully as possible and take it later, it doesn’t matter.”
I try to avoid the pointed gun and step backwards little by little.
But a hyena is making a threatening sound behind me, so I can’t get back any further.
“Do you think this is your pet?”
“Yes, my cute pet.”
“I see, but what about this? I had a partner too.”
“Hmm…?”
“Haven’t you noticed yet? The egg I was holding is so big that it’s difficult to put it in the bag I’m carrying?”
“Huh? Is that so? Wait a minute, did you let your pet carry it?”
“Yes, as you said. While you were distracted by me, my pet had already fled with eggs?”
A lie I spat out because I had no other choice.
If you stay still, you’ll die anyway, so I think I’ll have to bluff it up and figure out a way.
“Wow, f*ck! Somehow, I haven’t seen your pet since a while ago, so I didn’t think you would do something like that…!!”
Actually, I don’t have any pets…… After seeing his attitude that he thought he had, the corners of his eyes moistened a little.
Because if he really existed, how could he have overcome the current situation?
“You understand now? Even if you kill me, the eggs that have already left will not come back. The situation is already over.”
“Um… No! It’s not over yet!”
“What?”
“Pets basically prioritize the safety of their companions. So, if you let them know you’re in danger, they might come right back, right?”
How is the situation going strangely?
“From now on, I will inflict terrible torture on you. So scream all you want If possible, enough to reach your pet’s ears.”
I want to be honest with you that I was actually a person without pets.
But if you do that, sooner or later you’ll end up with a hole in your head and you’ll end your life.
So I don’t think there’s any other way than to keep my mouth shut and endure it, praying for a possible rescue.
As soon as I gave up and tried to wait for the pain to come, the weight that had been on my back was suddenly released.
“Quit!”
A baby dragon that had been hiding in the bag came out and stood in the way between me and the terrorist.
Only to protect me.
“What? What is this creature?”
“f*cked….”
I was touched by the baby dragon’s heart.
I’m happy that he not only likes me but even tries to protect me.
But to be honest, it was an absurd handshake that emerged in the current situation.
It was right that I kept hiding even though I struggled in pain.
“Ha! hahahaha… !! hahahaha!! Something like that! Hey! Okay! I didn’t expect this!!”
The terrorist boss who took a look at the baby dragon’s appearance. It seems that I have realized what identity is.
It’s really dangerous!
“The informants said it would take at least 30 years to hatch… ! I thought it would have hatched already!”
“Kyuyi!!”
A baby dragon threatens Mazu with a loud cry.
However, I can’t rate that behavior as threatening.
To be honest, all I can say is that it’s cute…….
“Huh? What? Are you trying to protect this child?”
“Quit!”
“Are you thinking that this is the first person you saw right after you woke up from the egg?”
“Quayit!”
A baby dragon who immediately replies no.
Imprinting is not applicable to reptiles.
“Okay, don’t worry. Your first father will soon die, so I will be your new father.”
What is it? You don’t seem to understand the baby dragon?
Am I weird?
“Kyuyi!!”
Upon hearing the leader’s words, the baby dragon expresses its anger by tapping the floor with its tail or frowning.
I don’t want to have someone like you as my father.
That’s right, who would want a pervert like that as a father?
…… Anyway, why did I start to understand the dragon’s words?
I don’t know. The situation right before death anyway. That didn’t matter anymore.
“Wait a little, it will be over soon.”
The terrorist boss who puts a gun to my head and tries to pull the trigger.
-Taang!
And just like that, gunshots echoed across the plain once more.
Splattered blood in my eyes, the sound of bursting flesh in my ears, the strong smell of gunpowder in my nose…….
It was supposed to be me, but strangely, instead of the smell of gunpowder, the fresh scent of citron tickles my nose.
“What, what?!”
“…… Sorry for being late.”
I blinked once, then a blonde woman appeared in front of me, holding a baby dragon.
A woman wearing a jeogori, which is rare these days, with pricked fox ears and a wagging fox tail.
He was a very unique person.
“I will protect you from now on!”
Besides, the owner of a voice that sounds like you’ve never heard it before.
No, I have definitely heard of it.
It perfectly matched the voice of the woman who helped me a few minutes ago when I was being chased by terrorists in the mountains.
I’m pretty sure this woman is the one who helped me.
“Everyone, you… Who are you?”
A woman who has consistently saved me from dramatic situations from before until now.
Her eyes widen in surprise that I spoke to her.
But then he smiled very ecstatically…….
“Ah… !! Thank you so much for asking! My name is Miho! It’s Seobangnim’s first pet and it’s a nine-tailed fox who swore eternal love♡”
She suddenly started uttering absurd sounds.
West? Pet? Eternal Love? Nine tailed fox… ??
…… It seems that my savior is a b*tch who is crazy about cosplay and setting up games.
