Give Me Too

Give Me Too

 

Originally, dragons were a race with extremely individualistic tendencies.

If we were to hear the reason why they had individualistic tendencies, it could be because they were excessively strong.

(When releasing polymorphism) The body becomes extremely large, so it may be because an individual needs to occupy significantly more food and territory.

Anyway, the important thing is that there were events that made these individualistic dragons no longer show individualistic tendencies.

It was because of the ‘war’ that drove many dragons to death.

And the phenomenon where ‘hatchlings stopped being born altogether’ from a certain point.

‘Even if we assume that the war has already happened and we can no longer discuss it.’

The problem was that hatchlings were no longer being born in this world.

‘Although the probability of dragons getting pregnant is low, this is clearly abnormal.’

It didn’t make sense for it to become zero, even if it could be extremely low.

Many dragons, including the elders, set out to find the reason.

Despite trying to find the reason using all available means, they couldn’t even get a clue, let alone the reason.

Of course, it wasn’t that there was no harvest at all.

Whether it was because the problem was too serious or not, the dragons lost their individualistic tendencies.

They even began to seek harmony by accepting half-dragons as members, which they wouldn’t have recognized originally.

‘However, since the fundamental problem of zero births hasn’t been resolved.’

Everyone has lived with anxiety for hundreds of years, wondering if the species itself might disappear.

As they gradually gave up and came up with new alternatives.

When all of those temporary measures were about to repeat meaningless situations.

Ha-eun appeared.

Literally, she popped up from somewhere.

Ha-eun, who appeared like that, was not an ordinary dragon but a half-dragon.

Actually, it was closer to a human than a dragon, an artificially created half-dragon…

‘What does that matter? A hatchling has appeared.’

The only seed of hope that emerged from centuries of despair was enough to breathe life into all dragons.

Perseus, recalling how precious Ha-eun was, posted a photo and a few words in the group chat that included the elders.

[Perseus – (Photo of paper with Ha-eun’s tail, foot, and handprints)]

[Perseus – I know you elders don’t have anything like this. Haha]

[Melteria – ?]

Good, there’s a reaction.

Perseus couldn’t hide his smile as he continued to post messages.

[Perseus – By the way, Ha-eun also did a flower pose at the end.]

[Besith – What is this? A heretical text?]

[Melteria – Do you want to die? If you don’t want to die, send Ha-eun’s photo here right now.]

[Serena – Don’t,,.` fight `everyone,’. Take,.a rose `with you`,.too ..^^’ @>—— ]

As usual, it’s a chaotic group chat.

Come to think of it, it’s natural because dragons are beings that live for an almost eternal time.

After about a thousand years, they tend to get bored with most things, so they were very quick to accept ‘new things’.

‘As a result, they do have aspects that are even trendier than the younger generation these days.’

Of course, there were cases like Elder Serena who lagged behind by a few decades.

Over time, they were likely to naturally change into a trendy appearance.

‘I’m not sure if it’s right to express it as fortunate, but it’s a relief that they don’t use what’s commonly called school lunch slang.’

As he was older, he tended to avoid doing things that would lower his dignity if possible.

[Melteria – If you don’t give it to me right now, I’ll poop in my pants.]

I’ll cancel that.

Anyway, among the elders, some participate in communities, and some with youthful appearances mingle with young humans.

While thinking about how diverse they were, Grandmother Lecia appeared.

[Lecia – Is it because I haven’t seen Ha-eun’s face lately? I want her hand stamp, foot stamp, tail stamp, and even her hidden signature, hehe.]

Perseus regretted saying anything as he saw Grandmother Lecia’s words that felt strongly like a threat.

After taking a bath, the night had deepened.

Thinking it was a bit chilly, perhaps because it was autumn turning into winter, I was lying down absentmindedly, hugging the blanket tightly.

Chae-a, who had been rolling around next to me, seemed to remember something and clung to me, saying.

“Again, Ha-eun… Sleep!”

Then she patted my body, giggled, and feeling satisfied, started rolling away somewhere again.

While I was watching Chae-a’s behavior and wondering what it meant.

Yuna, who had been walking around holding hands with Seo-a, approached me and said.

“Ha-eun sleep? I’ll pat you, sister.”

“Myam-mya~”

Did they have some secret conversation without me?

As I was puzzled by the three of them taking turns patting me.

Seo-rin came in and said to us.

“Ah, today was really tough, wasn’t it? Kids, you really did a great job!”

Seo-rin seemed to think this was her chance, hugging each of the little ones and giggling, then lying down next to me and saying,

“Doesn’t your hand hurt? You signed a lot of autographs today.”

Although it wasn’t really that many, only about 10.

She seems to be worried because I used my hand muscles more than usual.

In response to her question, I spread my palm to show that it’s completely fine, but Seo-rin hugged me and patted my head vigorously while saying,

“It feels so good to hug you like this.”

I felt the same way, so I smiled and giggled.

While I was rolling around and playing enthusiastically with Seo-rin, I noticed Somteol and Som bouncing towards us from afar.

“Peep!”

“Peep!”

As if they had planned it, they both jumped on me at the same time and started venting their frustrations.

“Peeek! Peep!” (Why didn’t you play with us!)

“Peep peep!” (Where did you go!)

When I went to the fan signing event, I had to leave early in the morning to prepare various things.

It seems that leaving Somteol and Som sleeping was the cause of their anger.

While I was quickly apologizing to them and didn’t know what to do, Yuna picked up Somteol and said,

“You shouldn’t bother Ha-eun. Yuna will scold you.”

“Kkoom!”

Thanks to Yuna and Seo-a’s intervention, Somteol and Som quickly calmed down and started to shrink.

I took turns patting their heads to calm them down, then lay back on the bed and spoke.

“Shall we sleep?”

At those words, we all gathered together and lay down on the bed.

I felt incredibly happy, intoxicated by the warmth and coziness surrounding me.

The next morning, the first thing I saw was a phone call from Grandma Lecia.

Wondering what it could be about, I immediately picked up and pressed the answer button.

“Hello?”

At my greeting, Grandma Lecia’s gentle laughter echoed through the phone.

As I listened, I wondered why people always laugh when I say hello on the phone. While I was waiting for Grandma Lecia to speak,

She spoke to me in a voice that seemed to be holding back laughter.

[Ha-eun, have you been well?]

“Yes.”

[That’s good. Are you eating properly?]

“Yes, I ate a lot of delicious food yesterday.”

[Good. If the association ever fails to feed you properly, don’t hesitate to tell this grandmother. I’ll go right away and tell them to buy you something delicious. Ah, of course, if there’s anything you want to eat, you can tell me too. I’ll rush over and buy you whatever you want to eat.]

Wouldn’t that cause all sorts of trouble?

Thinking that I couldn’t possibly ask because I’d feel too sorry, I smiled awkwardly.

Grandma Lecia then quietly brought up the main point.

[Ahem, Ha-eun. This grandmother has a wish.]

A wish from Grandma Lecia? It was an unexpected statement, so I was somewhat surprised.

Trying to compose myself, I asked what it was.

[Grandma wants an autograph too, if possible, a tail stamp, hand stamp, foot stamp, and signature.]

“…?”

It was a completely unexpected request, so I was taken aback.

I first calmed myself down, then nodded in reality and said.

“I’ll do it for you.”

[Really…? Then this grandma will bring a gift.]

“It’s okay. You’ve already given me a lot.”

[No, dear. Nothing is too much when it’s for my granddaughter, so don’t worry. Well, it’s getting cold, so I’ll hang up now. Oh, and if possible, come visit grandma’s lair. Grandma has prepared lots of delicious food for Ha-eun.]

She says she’s going to hang up quickly, but the conversation keeps going on and on.

Just as I was smiling brightly, sending infinite gratitude for Grandma Lecia’s overflowing affection.

Yuna, who was next to me, approached me with a drowsy face.

“Baby… needs to sleep…”

Then she took my phone, put it aside, and tucked me into bed, covering me with a blanket.

I blinked in surprise at Yuna’s actions, and Yuna stared at me blankly, wagging her tail, and then fell asleep.

I was surprised to see Yuna fall asleep while hugging me, but then I quietly got up, grabbed my phone, and ended the call.

‘Anyway, Grandma Lecia said she’s coming.’

Thinking it would be good to prepare for her arrival, I fell into contemplation about what to do for her.
