“Hold on tight, that guy. I’m going to the bathroom now.”

    “Bathroom… . Are you planning on taking a medicinal bath?”

    “You need to take a bath. I’m going to feed you beforehand, so support your neck well.”

    “Yes. Well… something like that.”

    The moment you go out holding the child like that.

    I came across a person rushing in.

    “… Huh, Huh… .”

    White hair. Blindfold. A slightly young adult white tiger. What they felt was one.

    Oh, this guy, he’s going to die. It didn’t take long for me to understand and accept that one fact.

    To them, the being called Gaju was supposed to have more power than the young Shinsoo. Except for the special situation of the twins.

    “I’m sorry I’m late.”

    “… . No, Baekho.”

    “Yeah, I don’t think you wanted to be late.”

    You could tell just by looking at the child. Right up until that last moment, they knew very well that the other spirit of the White Tiger was here until they arrived.

    He was preparing and preparing to greet them, but he probably didn’t realize that the young gods had flown in in their haste.

    So they also gave a quick greeting and started running away in a hurry.

    The complexion, which had returned a little more than before, showed that the child’s treatment was well underway.

    “Where are you going?”

    “Heading to the bathroom.”

    “Bathroom? Are you going to give me a bath?”

    “Yes, well. This kind of poison has permeated the entire body. We will drain the blood containing the poison into our water and refill it.”

    “Of course it would be like that since it’s what the Blue Dragon said. I’m not suspicious of it. I’m just worried about the child… .”

    Certainly, his appearance was beyond words. His hair was so wet that it was obvious that he had just taken a shower.

    You must have come so quickly because you heard that treatment had already started.

    “The bathroom itself seems to have been used just a moment ago… Is that right?”

    “That’s right, I can’t greet you with my dirty appearance… . I’m preparing in a hurry… .”

    “Yes, well. But thanks to that, there was no one inside so we were able to handle it quickly.”

    “That’s because we can’t let any more civilians in.”

    It was an excuse, not an excuse, but even in their eyes, that kind of place was not a place for ordinary people.

    Because it’s full of liquid.

    “Since you said you were in that room the whole time, Baekho-nim, I will purify you separately from now on.”

    Baekho simply nodded at Jujak’s words. Even though Jujak was young, he was born with the ability to purify evil.

    “I would appreciate it if you could do that. If there is any problem with the child… .”

    “Oh, don’t worry about that. I, the Blue Dragon, guarantee it.”

    As he said that, Cheongryong quickly headed to the bathroom.

    “I don’t want to delay any longer. I did give it some water, but… that was just a temporary measure.”

    “Um. Please.”

    Baekhan watched them walk towards the bathroom.

    -Whoa.

    Pour out the water from the bathtub in the bathroom. Normally, this would be a serious matter, but since I was just taking a bath, it didn’t matter.

    “Okay, you guys back off now.”

    He sends out the servants who helped him drain the water, and begins to fill it with the holy water of the Blue Dragon.

    “Hoo… .”

    The bathtub was filled with water of such a beautiful color that it was difficult to even describe it, whether it was blue or jade.

    Jujak, who was quietly looking at the water, said.

    “You called me the aurora borealis, but you’re the Milky Way.”

    “Be quiet. Let me concentrate. It’s hard for me to keep this level of concentration.”

    “Ah. Yes.”

    She didn’t seem particularly offended. After all, what he said was right.

    “Hooo… .”

    He said to the already full bathtub.

    “Get out. Now, you and I have to take off our clothes and go in.”

    “Yes?”

    “Keep holding it? You said you were going to take a bath. You’re going to leave it there? Of course you can do that… .”

    “… . I have something to tell you.”

    “… . If that’s the case, then whatever. Even if you fall in, you won’t drown, so just leave it in. ”

    -Suddenly… .

    The child is completely immersed in the bathtub quietly.

    -Small… .

    Something black, which could be called poison, slowly begins to seep out of the child’s body.

    That was the poison the child ingested.

    “… It’s poisonous. If it was that poisonous, even a god would die if he ate it.”

    It was obvious to them who had done it. It must have been the work of those who wished for the destruction of this country.

    “That’s right.”

    “So, what are you curious about?”

    “I thought about taking this little kid some time ago. Is that still valid?”

    “… … . Are you serious? I know that Jujak values ​​rules more than I thought. Because of the mission to purify the liquid.”

    “Creating an environment where liquid does not form is our top priority. Just like you place the highest priority on the lives of plants and people.”

    “… . If you say that, I have nothing to say.”

    He scratched his head quietly.

    “But that’s not easy either. If you’re an ordinary person, you might not know, but this is a matter between the gods and the beasts. The dragon will intervene.”

    “… .”

    There was only one speaking dragon. A dragon as a divine beast. The only being that maintained, guarded, and managed this place.

    “As you know, this time, the Great Dragon… . It’s a bit like that. If we don’t do it right, he could even intervene in us. Separation of power? No. Rather, he’ll try to eat it all himself.”

    She didn’t say anything about that part.

    It was something I had never really thought about, but the being my mother told me to be careful of was the Shenlong of this generation.

    If the Blue Dragon, who may seem like a loose cannon but is known to be more intelligent than anyone else when it comes to work, could say something like that, then it also means that this generation’s Shenlong is that dangerous.

    “Of course, I too, if that child had accepted it right then and there… . I was definitely going to use my privilege. That special rule that no one, not even a dragon, can interfere with life.”

    But he sighed deeply.

    “But there is an exception clause in the law. The consent of the parties involved is essential, and if there is no problem in managing the liquid, such a proposal is rejected. We know that this child is a twin, right? So it can’t be done.”

    There were a lot of rules and such to consider. If the child had given full consent from the beginning, I could have just brought him in, even though he was an illegitimate child.

    But the child didn’t do that.

    Even now, the child will be like that. Whatever it is, he will reject it, refuse it, and will not follow us.

    “… So, are you saying that we have no choice but to take care of it?”

    “That’s right. As you know, I really value life. Like all blue dragons. Just like you hate evil so much.”

    “… … .”

    “Hyunmu is a very strict and disciplined person, so he won’t participate in this kind of thing, you know that, right? So let’s just… . We should meet often.”

    So, at that time, Cheongryong made a ridiculous claim, saying, ‘Then I will visit your house every day!’

    Of course, it was stopped by the scolding of the Blue Dragon’s father… .

    ‘If my father had seen this child being driven to this state, he would never have objected.’

    For the Blue Dragon, who cherishes and values ​​all life, there is no way he could just leave a young child like this to go through something like this.

    “Okay.”

    Jujak understood all of this in his own way. It seemed like it would be possible to meet a lot of people anyway.

    My mother told me that there was a slightly higher chance of finding the Zhujak family.

    “By the way, ha- I didn’t know it would get this dirty.”

    Before we knew it, all the water had become dirty.

    “What kind of poison did you feed it to make it like this?”

    As he said that, he thought of dirty water.

    I just hoped that the broken child wouldn’t get any worse, because the behaviors that the child displayed there were far from being right behaviors.

    “I have one more question.”

    The red bird continued speaking to the blue dragon who was changing the water.

    “What is it? Tell me quickly. It’s hard.”

    -Whew.

    In a situation where dirty water is thrown away and new water is brought in, the fool opened his mouth.

    “… . Do you think the twin rule is necessary?”

    “… … .”

    He didn’t say anything.

    The water kept changing. That meant it was a difficult problem.

    “Well.”

    He just answered vaguely, but not in the affirmative.

    “I don’t know. It’s not right. Let’s just leave it at that level.”

    At those words, Jujak nodded.

    “That’s all I need.​ Please help me later.”

    “….?”

    It seemed like I still couldn’t figure out what that meant.
