029. Reunion (2).

Xian held out his hand.

A butterfly landed on the palm of your hand.

Seeing the butterfly, Xi’an’s expression became serious.

‘Is this really Hughes?’

There is no guarantee that this butterfly belongs to Hughes.

However, it is an obvious fact that there is a high possibility of saying otherwise.

As I was immersed in my thoughts, the butterfly that flew up after a while began to slowly fly away.

‘Are you asking me to follow you… .’

Xian hesitated as he tried to follow the butterfly flapping its wings to and fro.

I’d like to follow you right away and check if it’s Hughes or not, but…

‘These people are becoming dangerous.’

Come to think of it, I wasn’t in a position to leave this place irresponsibly.

It’s a dangerous enough situation right now, but if you blindly follow them, they’ll be abandoned here with their bare bodies.

He could lose his life in vain in the attack of the Dragonians, and he would also get into trouble with a bunch of monsters that were not Dragonians.

‘Let’s stay here… .’

Curiosity about the butterfly’s owner.

I miss Hughes.

Both are important, but still not more than human life.

Xian had no choice but to decide to stay here and looked at the butterfly with a pitying look.

‘uh… ? Are you waiting?’

The butterfly, who wanted to get away forever like this, was sitting on a tree going into the forest and resting its wings.

Xian smiled lightly.

First of all, it was because he chose people’s lives considering the size of the seriousness, but he couldn’t even feel regret about the uneven choices.

‘Then let’s focus on work for now.’

I was distracted by the butterfly that flew by for a moment, but now it was a dangerous moment that would not be strange even if there was an attack.

Xian held the position again for about 30 minutes.

Fortunately, there was no attack by the Dragonians.

The same goes for small monster attacks.

“Fortunately, nothing special happened.”

I saw Drake putting down Leah, who was carrying her like a burden on her waist.

Xian greeted him.

I didn’t show it, but it was the reason why 30 minutes felt like 3 hours.

“Why are you here so late?”

Other times, it took about 10 minutes at the longest, so it was a natural question.

Because it took three times as much time as usual.

“The guy was so scared that he was so scared… Is there any guarantee that he will only attack here?”

“note… .”

Come to think of it, that was right.

Because he was such a monstrous Drake, it was hard to imagine being defeated by a Dragonian.

It must be a point where you become quite vulnerable while calming down the poison.

‘There’s no guarantee that he won’t aim for that gap.’

Apparently, it took a lot of time because I was concerned about the Dragonian’s attack.

“Anyway, it was hard. Let’s move again.”

“Wait.”

Sian said to Drake, who casually left Leah and went back to his seat.

“I have somewhere to go.”

“Where are you going?”

Drake gave him a suspicious look.

It was, of course, natural.

Now this place is in a deep valley.

This is because it is a remote place and there was no way that Xi’an, who had been dropped here unwillingly but unwillingly, had nowhere to go.

Sian whispered to Drake.

“That urine is urgent… .”

That was the only excuse I had to give.

Drake, fortunately, overcame his suspicions.

“Boy, just hit the stream in moderation. Nobody cares.”

“number… There is such a thing as shame.”

When Xian appealed that he was the most meticulous person, Drake said as if he couldn’t help it.

“I tell you, but I can’t follow you. If it’s okay, even Leah… .”

“no! I’ll just go alone. It really only takes a moment.”

When Drake was left alone, he was worried that the Dragonians would attack him, but…

‘I’d rather be alone.’

It was the reason why Hughes might be at the end of following the butterfly.

“Well, once I knew.”

When Drake told them to hurry up as if it was not a waste of time for them to be arguing like this, Xian started running at once.

When I entered the forest where the butterfly was attached earlier, fine ice powder was sprinkled on the ground.

“This way?”

It was when Xian ran with all his might for about a minute following the trail.

A blurry doll began to appear through the fog.

Xian slowed down and began to slowly approach.

You have to be careful unless you know the identity.

However, that’s for a while.

“Welcome, Xian.”

I heard a nostalgic voice and the thought flew away.

* * *

As Xian thought, the butterfly belonged to Hughes.

When I saw Hughes, I had so many things to say, but somehow the words I had thought of disappeared from my head and I couldn’t come up with the right words.

Unexpectedly, Hughes was the first to speak.

“I was very worried.”

Hughes approached and hugged Xian warmly.

Xian was also speechless at the thoughtful embrace, like that of an older sister.

“me too. I thought I would never see Hughes again.”

“I’m so glad, isn’t it?”

Seeing his usual warm smile made me realize that I was reunited with Hughes.

I was also happy that he was safe.

The three days of being separated from Hughes passed by like a kaleidoscope.

‘So many things happened… .’

The sudden attack of the dragonians.

After barely surviving, he meets the monstrous Drake.

What made another heart.

Learning how to live a dragon.

And the hard work that blisters your hands to escape today.

It was when Xian was thinking about those things.

said Hughes.

“More than that, Cyan, now Drake might start to doubt. I think they probably won’t go looking for them because they have people they need to protect, but I hope they move just in case.”

“yes? uh… therefore… .”

My head suddenly became complicated.

Sian organized his thoughts and said.

It was because what Hughes was saying seemed like this no matter how you look at it.

“Are you saying you want to run away?”

“yes.”

Well, that’s a very reasonable suggestion.

why didn’t i think of this?

however…

At the same time, for some reason, the words to do so do not come out of nowhere.

A part of my heart felt uncomfortable.

Xian asked.

“that… Should I run away?”

If we meet again, it’s funny how we decided to listen carefully but…

To be honest, Xian didn’t want to leave this place.

“It’s not possible.”

“Why?”

“Isn’t it natural? Drake is an unexpected monster. For some reason, it seems that mana is almost depleted now, but even considering that, there is no guarantee that he is not hiding a trump card. If we can escape without damage as it is now, that is the best.”

Xian knows. I know…

“That grandfather… So Drake knows me as a Slayer apprentice. Maybe I even notice that I believe it.”

“song.”

Hughes pulled Xian’s wrist as if he had nothing to hear.

“Hughes sister, please.”

Hughes was annoyed at Xian’s repeated insistence.

“Are you aware of how absurd Xian is saying right now?”

However, even that soon disappears.

Fundamentally, it must be because he is not a character who pours out his emotions on others.

“i know. It’s also a very dangerous thing… But I promise.”

“A promise?”

“I told them it would be okay. Although they sold Drake’s name… .”

Hughes looked into Xian’s eyes and sighed deeply.

“great.”

“yes?”

“I will do as Xian wishes. Do you have any plans?”

I thought I would never say no, and if I had to, I would at least show my skills, but Hughes obediently obeyed.

“why? Are there any?”

“ah… yes unfortunately… .”

“Then, Xian’s first wish is ‘I hope those people don’t get hurt,’ right?”

“yes.”

Hughes thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Are you sure Drake considers you an apprentice?”

“yes.”

Sian nodded his head.

That much I could be sure of.

I bet he wouldn’t have taught the half-dragon how to kill a dragon.

“You learned dragonsalgi?”

When I told him about it, Hughes was taken aback.

When I first used the Dragon Slayer for the first time, Drake had exactly the same reaction.

“why? Anything big happen?”

“no… It’s not like that, but Xian… It’s been three days since we broke up, hasn’t it?”

Is this that hard to learn?

Surprisingly, it was not difficult to learn, but I was curious.

“Can you show me?”

“sure.”

Xian responded to Hughes’ request and immediately launched a dragon kill.

Even though it was insufficient, Hughes said as the red dragon’s life bloomed.

“That’s great, Sian.”

“Right? I really wanted to show this to Hughes. that… Not under these circumstances.”

Hughes smiled at Xian’s words and thought about it for a while before opening his mouth.

“Then, first of all, it would be good for Xian to hurry back from here before Drake gets suspicious.”

“yes? What about the operation?”

“I will take care of it.”

“hmm… all right.”

As Xian tried to turn back toward the road he had passed, he said with an embarrassed face.

“I… that sister.”

“yes?”

“thank you.”

Hughes seems to be very nice.

* * *

After Xian left, Hughes, who was left alone again, brushed his hair that had fallen in front of him.

“under… I did something stupid… .”

In fact, the best option in the current situation was to run away with Xian, even if it means knocking him out.

But Hughes didn’t.

It was because if that happened, he would have to buy Xian’s resentment.

Hughes didn’t have the courage to do that.

“If that’s the case, I’d rather have this.”

It was a bit of a pain in the ass.

When this happens, there is a lot more to do than just getting out of this place.

He also had to be careful not to injure Xian from the Dragonian.

“This fog is annoying… .”

If it wasn’t for the fog, it would be easy to search for the dragons by spraying them with butterflies, but that guy’s fog was a bit of a headache.

Because he had the ability to blur his presence.

I can sense it if it’s close, but…

If the distance was quite long, it was difficult to find even Hughes.

Therefore, Hughes’ strategy was this.

When a dragonian appeared targeting Drake’s party, he decided to deal with the dragonian without revealing his identity.

It was for this reason that he did not join Xian.

Xian, who does not exist, seems to have tricked Drake somehow, but he will surely be caught the moment he encounters him.

“There is no need to give off a suspicious feeling by tipping off Xian.”

It was also in line with not explaining the operation.

said Hughes, scattering butterflies all over the valley.

“I hope I can score a lot with this one.”
