The next day arrived without fail.

When I opened my eyes, I was momentarily shocked by the fact that I was in a room full of modern civilization, but when I recalled my memories and recalled what had happened yesterday, it was only for a moment.

By the way.

“What’s with the presidential invitation?“

I was hearing some incredible news that I didn’t even know about.

The first is the country I am in now. The President of the Republic of Korea asks me to have a meal at the Blue House.

It’s just a meal. It was clear that he would make demands of me, either explicitly or indirectly.

Of course, that would be the case, because the influence of the existence of dragons is beyond imagination.

From the perspective of the president, the head of a country, he would want to tie me to this country at all costs. And he would want to build a friendly relationship with me.

To be honest, I like Korea more than other countries because it is a country where I still have memories of my past life, but I am still willing to leave if I don’t like it.

So you have to behave well.

“Should I go outside?“

Even without that, being locked in a mansion, castle, or village made me feel very suffocated just staying inside.

In addition, since it was also the background of my fading memories of my previous life, I was anxious to go outside and look around.

What if… what if there really is someone who wants to assassinate me? Wouldn’t they have thought of that in the first place because of the fear of dragons?

Suddenly, this thought occurred to me.

What is this ominous feeling that makes me think that if a stupid human were to actually be a dragon, guns would be useless and I would snipe at it?

Well, I can’t stay here forever.

“Let’s go out.“

I looked at my watch and it was exactly 10 o’clock.

I thought it would be okay to go out now since the sunlight pouring down outside wasn’t particularly strong.

If I stay locked in this room and die, I’ll be completely ruined.

Not only did it not look particularly good to others, it could also create the illusion that there was something wrong with your body and you were taking care of it.

The best defense is a good offense. I decided to go out there and play with confidence, even though I had nothing.

“D, Dragon!“

As soon as I left the room and got on the elevator, Jang A-in was running towards me in a hurry, as if she had been watching me from somewhere.

I almost pressed the open button without realizing it, but in the end, the door did not open again and just closed.

“Oh, no. I’m a dragon. A dragon with great power and pride.“

As far as I know, the existence of a virtual creature called a dragon in this world is strongly perceived as being extremely arrogant.

Well, it’s understandable since he has a lot of power.

Anyway, I am not a being that should care for insignificant humans. I am just an insignificant being that should be cared for and served by them.

“That, yeah… that’s right.“

Oh no. What if they look down on me because of this?

When I actually did it, my legs started shaking with fear.

I doubt that will happen, but since it has happened countless times before, I wonder if it could happen here too. I have a base suspicion.

Still, I hypnotized myself and shook off my thoughts.

Click click click.

As I came down to the first floor and walked toward the exit, everyone’s attention turned to me.

At the same time, the reporters who had been taking their seats fixed their lenses on me and pressed the shutter without stopping.

“What’s going on?“

A middle-aged man who seemed to be the tallest person here approached me, keeping an eye on me.

I probably already had people upstairs, including Jang A-in, to receive my orders, but I came down to the first floor alone. I could only have ominous thoughts.

“Do I really have to say it?“

“……“

Squeak squeak.

At the sharp answer, the man sweat profusely and trembled slightly.

Even though he had no power, he seemed to be unconsciously terrified by the differences between the different races.

Phew. Honestly, I’m glad I have dragon blood. If I didn’t have that, I probably would’ve been quickly discovered for pretending to be strong.

Anyway, I felt like I got through it okay, so I brushed my chest off and passed the man.

And then he moved forward. And again, forward, towards the reporters who were pressing their shutters.

Because where those people are is the exit.

“Block it!“

As I approached, the reporters approached me with a sense of professionalism, and a middle-aged man who had been stiffening his body and obediently letting me pass by shouted urgently.

The reporters who were approaching me like that were suddenly blocked by men in black suits.

“Dragon! Just one word, please!“

“Why did you show up?“

“Are there other dragons?“

“Are there any other creatures like unicorns or snakes that actually exist?“

I don’t know either, kid.

I fell here by chance, and I couldn’t even go outside because it was dangerous and there were a lot of monsters outside, so how would I know?

Of course, I’ve seen it written in books. I don’t know if it’s actually there.

Well, if it really exists, it might show itself to me out of curiosity. It might annoy me.

“Where are you going now?!“

As I was leaving the hotel, a reporter finally asked me where I was going.

To be honest, I just came out because I felt suffocated. I didn’t really have any plans on going anywhere.

Well, I don’t intend to answer that.

“Um……“

It hadn’t been that long since I left the hotel, but I was already at a crossroads.

Should I go left? Should I go right? Which way will I go so that good news will spread.

Glance.

I looked up and saw the bodyguard, who seemed like a very dignified person to me, but who seemed meaningless to others.

Shudder.

As soon as our eyes met, the bodyguard, who had already been secretly looking at me, shook his body slightly and looked at the distant mountains.

Um… I guess it’s a bit odd to ask where to go?

“D, Dragon!“

Finally, Jang A-in came to me, sweating profusely.

“Ugh… Huh… Where are you going?“

She asked, breathing heavily.

“I just… feel frustrated.“

“Are you feeling stuffy?“

“Uh.“

“Um… Dragon, what do you usually do?“

“……“

What are you doing? All I can think about is being raped by women.

Other than that… there doesn’t seem to be anything special. It just keeps happening except when I’m sleeping.

“Um… What, what is it? Are you interested in human… culture?“

When there was no answer for a long time, Jang A-in changed the question.

“There is.“

“Right now, Dragon-nim, it looks like you don’t have a destination… Can I guide you there?“

What the heck is this? It’s only good for me!

“Yeah.“

“Yes!“

Jang A-young took the lead with a bright smile.

At first, she went to places I would like, but as time went by, she started dragging me around to places she wanted to go.

It would have been really unpleasant if I had only wandered around boring places. Even if it had been unpleasant, there was nothing I could do about it.

Anyway, thanks to her, I had fun going around here and there.

“It’s delicious……“

“Right?!“

We stopped by a cafe to take a break.

Since we entered a random cafe, there were quite a few customers inside, and they were looking at us and gossiping.

The main character, Dragon, who broadcasts the news on TV, was the one who caught my attention, but the men in black suits standing around him as if protecting him seemed to draw my attention even more.

“Try this too!“

She offered me what she was eating.

“Put the straw that Dragon used here.“

Jang Ah-in pulled out my straw and put it in her cup.

What is this… feeling of being friends? Won’t you look at me strangely? Should I get angry right now?

But, since I was missing modern food, I couldn’t resist the temptation and put the straw to my mouth.

Come on.

Ooh. This is delicious. This too.

I really wanted to monopolize it all and eat it all up.

“That’s okay.“

“Right?! It’s my favorite!“

Heh heh heh.

What was so good about it was that she pulled out her straw and put it in the cup I was drinking from.

“It’s delicious~!“

It really feels like sharing a drink with regular friends.

I wonder if it’s just me who feels this way. The expressions on the bodyguards and the people around them were subtle.

Ah… maybe I went with an arrogant concept for nothing. I think it would have been better if I had just gone with a concept I felt comfortable with.

Since the concept had already been decided, it felt a little late to change it now.

Knock knock.

“Where are you going?“

As I got up from my seat, Jang A-in, who had been noisily snickering, asked.

“Bathroom.“

“Huh?! Do dragons go to the bathroom too?“

What the heck. I’m a living thing too. What about dragons? They can’t go to the bathroom?!

To be honest, normal dragons could just get rid of the waste inside them without releasing it.

In a country with no ability, you go to the toilet and dispose of your waste or get rid of it inside with the help of dragons.

“No…I got something on my hands.“

That’s a lie.

I just felt like I had to say it, so I just said it.

Of course, my hands were clean.

“Can’t you get rid of it with magic or something?“

How I wish it were possible. I’m the only one who can’t do it. Ah. It makes me cry.

“I feel at ease only when I touch the water and feel it.“

“Ah…! I think I know what it is!“

Fortunately, my lame excuse seemed to have worked.

“Hello~!“

I left Jang A-in alone and headed to the bathroom, accompanied by my bodyguards as usual.

Then, I stumbled and lost my balance.

“Hee, heehee?!“

Before I knew it, I placed my hand on the wall next to the face of a woman who had just come out of the bathroom.

Fortunately, I didn’t fall. But my posture was… like I was hitting a wall. That’s what it looked like.
