episode_0006

The fact that all the people captured with me were dead meant that I was the only human left in this rare.

It didn’t seem like it would be any problem. In the first place, I wasn’t good at socializing, and Arjen was always by my side so I never felt lonely.

But there was also a limit. Since I was in a rare where there were only automata except for Argen, I was starting to get bored.

“Ugh… I’m bored….”

I missed my smartphone so much. Since I didn’t even want to go to YouTube, I just wanted to see community trash.

“Aaaaa!!”

Out of boredom, I tried my best to stay in place, but nothing changed. Because I was alone in the room right now.

alone. Yes. The full story of what happened today stems from this. Arjen went to take a bath and had some alone time.

“…Good. Let’s go out.”

I decided to lose my wits due to the overwhelming boredom. I decided to go outside of Argen’s Lair.

To be honest, I felt like people were exhausted after not being able to breathe outside air at all recently, and I thought that Arjen wouldn’t even notice if I went out for a while.

Arjen took me around the lair wherever he went, so I already knew the way out.

“Wow… crazy….”

As soon as I made up my mind, I came out of the lair and saw countless big and small stars twinkling in the indigo-colored night sky.

I was mesmerized by the incredible beauty of nature, which was completely different from the cloudy night sky caused by Earth’s air pollution and night scenes, and I took a moment to admire the sky.

“It’s not like there are two moons or anything.”

If you look at many different worlds, there were cases where there were multiple moons, but this one had one satellite, just like the Earth.

I may not be able to see it just now, but if I just looked at the sky right now, I could believe I was in a foreign country with good air.

“Ah… this is not the time, really.”

I went outside, but it was impossible to just look up at the night sky at the entrance of the lair and then go in. When I took my eyes off the sky and looked around, there were trees everywhere.

‘Wow, that’s a bit scary….’

The forest at night gave off a gloomy atmosphere, even if it was daytime.

Normally, I would have shuddered and turned away, but unfortunately, the boredom that had been building up had reached the critical point, so I fearlessly walked into the forest at night.

“It’s refreshing, like a test of courage.”

In fact, it was a test of courage, and walking around the forest alone at night was tantamount to suicide.

Nevertheless, the reason I was able to remain calm was that there was a fairly plausible path.

The road was not properly paved, perhaps because people came regularly to pay tribute to Argen, but it was equipped enough for carriages to come and go without difficulty.

And the remaining one is the necklace that Arjen hung around my neck. According to Rube, it is an artifact with a very powerful defensive magic spell.

It was said to be ‘very powerful’ by dragon standards, so it was natural for me to lose caution.

“Huh?”

As I was walking along a mountain path, a small green light flew around in the air. At first I thought it was a firefly, but upon closer inspection, it was much bigger than a firefly.

“Yo, fairy?”

A girl the size of two fingers together was circling around a tree, flapping two pairs of insect wings.

“Karl!”

When the fairy saw me, she smiled brightly and came towards me, circling my face. When I reflexively stretched out my hand, the fairy quickly moved away from me.

“Giggle, giggle!”

A fairy running away at a speed that is neither fast nor slow, with a mischievous smile. It seemed like they wanted to play tag.

I got excited and chased after the fairy. No, it might be a bit wrong to express it as ogi.

It would be correct to say that there was no stimulation in my life so far that I was just chasing around fairies.

“You guy! Gotcha!”

“Karrrr!”

After a chase that seemed almost impossible to catch, I was able to catch the fairy. In fact, anyone could tell that the fairy was caught on purpose, but for some reason, I felt proud.

“Whoaaam….”

The fairy held by her hand opened her mouth wide and yawned as hard as she could. The sight of him expressing with his whole body that he was truly sleepy was extremely cute.

“Yes, yes. Come on in and sleep.”

I let go of the fairy. How would the fairy react if I had bad intentions?

I had my doubts for a moment, but it was more likely that he knew I wasn’t the type of person to do that and was playing a prank on me in the first place.

After seeing off the fairy who fluttered away and disappeared into a nearby tree, I looked around with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Haha, where is this? Fuck.”

I was not a seven-year-old child, but I felt like I wanted to hide in a mouse hole somewhere, thinking that I was this young and lost while chasing flying insects in the mountains.

First of all, there was still a path left, so I was about to turn back when I heard an alien breathing sound from somewhere.

Gurgling…

It was very easy to capture the sound in a quiet forest where there was not a single wind blowing and there was no sound of the leaves swaying.

It was the clear sound of a predator.

Of course, apart from recognizing the sound, I had no ability to overcome this situation.

All I can do is try to move my still good legs.

“What the fuck…!”

As I hurriedly moved my body, several unidentified monsters came out of the grass as if they had been waiting.

It was dark so I couldn’t see the detailed shape, but at most it was a small predator that was as tall as my waist.

“…….”

Of course, being small didn’t help me at all. First of all, there were a whopping five of them surrounding the area, and all of them were holding ugly-looking blunt weapons or blades.

“Kerrruk!”

The guy standing in front flicked his tongue and made the same sound as before.

I’m not well-versed in this world, but considering that most things in basic fantasy, such as dragons and elves, are also present here, the guys in front of me were goblins no matter how I looked at them.

And I, who had no magical powers and had never had a physical altercation with anyone in my life, was doomed to become their meal.

“Wow!!”

Understanding the situation ends there. Belatedly, my instinct to escape from the crisis took over and I escaped the scene with a speed that was surprising to myself.

“Keruk!”

Rocks splashed at my feet as I ran at full speed, accompanied by a goblin’s cry. It seemed like they were slinging stones from behind.

“Ugh!!”

I glanced back and caught a rock flying towards my head at full speed. I reflexively screamed and closed my eyes.

Teuong!

However, even though a long time had passed since I closed my eyes, I did not feel any pain, but rather a dull noise that did not sound like I had been hit by a stone.

“Oh….”

I belatedly discovered the shining necklace on my neck. I could clearly see that the magic circle that came out of the necklace prevented the sling.

“Keruk!?”

The goblins must have been embarrassed as well, so they stopped chasing me and fell into confusion. You idiots, this is a product of modern magic. It’s not modern and it’s not my magic.

“Kwaaak!”

After a while of being intoxicated by the pointless pride, I noticed that the goblins’ reactions were slightly different.

It wasn’t that he was embarrassed because he was blocked by a rock, but it seemed as if he was scared by something else.

To be precise, it seems like I can’t take my eyes off something behind me, not me.

“…….”

And I slowly turned my head and glanced behind me as I felt an overwhelming presence behind me.

A 3m tall monster was standing behind me, completely blocking out even the moonlight that had provided me with visibility.

Before I could even wonder how on earth such a huge thing could suddenly pop out, I automatically let out a scream.

“Aaaaa!!”

The monster’s uprooted tree, held in its hand, rushed at me, as if trying to stop me from mocking myself for screaming my whole life.

Even though I knew that the necklace would prevent it, it was an overwhelming feeling of intimidation that I couldn’t help but be scared of. Of course, as I said before, the attack couldn’t hurt me due to the magic of the necklace.

“……Huh?”

no. Something was a little strange. Unlike a stone, there was no dull sound.

As if the monster had stopped swinging the tree, not even the slightest reaction occurred in my body.

“Yu…Jin…!”

The owner of the familiar voice calling my name was none other than Arjen. Before I could recognize the voice as Arjen, a large hole opened in the monster’s abdomen.

As expected, he did not stop his weapon but died while standing. I belatedly met Arjen’s angry gaze beyond where the huge monster was falling helplessly.

“Why… abandoned me…!”

Arjen’s face had tears of not only anger but also sadness. There seems to be some misunderstanding.

“Arjen. That’s not it, I was bored for a moment so I thought I’d take a walk…”

I wasn’t particularly worried at first. Since dragons can read other people’s minds, I thought that if they figured out my true feelings, the misunderstanding would be quickly resolved.

“Hahaha… I guess I can’t do it… Since my legs are fine, I guess I can think about running away, right?”

And from this day on, I was able to painfully understand why Arjen was called the crazy dragon.
