Chapter 6 Episode 50 – Welcoming Guests

As expected, the safe contained a gem that glowed softly green. Thinking that this was probably the original Jeonghwaseok, I stretched out my hand and grabbed it.

“Director, wait—!!! Don’t catch it!!!”

“Huh? I already caught it?”

Despite Olivia’s urgent warning, my hand holding the purification stone was fine.

“Ugh… ?”

Olivia makes a dumb sound and looks at me with incomprehensible eyes.

“Okay… Is it… ?”

Olivia looked through the materials she was holding in her hands again,

“Woman, it is dangerous as expected. For now, just put it down.”

He grabbed my arm with a trembling hand and threw it back into the safe.

The expert told me to put it down, so I put it down, but I wonder what the danger is.

“Do not touch the purification stone with bare hands. Uncontrolled purification stone is a fatally dangerous substance that can burn even an ordinary human body… !”

“If that’s the case, you should have told me sooner.”

“Well, I just found out… . Well, let me take a look first.”

Olivia looked at my hands and sprayed a strange water-like solution on them.

“Luckily there is nothing wrong, hehe… .”

“Then it’s okay for me to touch it?”

“Huh? Oh, no. There are times when you have to be exposed for a long time to get a reaction, so you should not be complacent.”

“Um… .”

It’s a bit difficult if you can’t touch Jeonghwaseok with your bare hands.

“I don’t know. If you make a mistake, you fall behind.”

Out of ignorance, I took the purification stone out of the safe again.

“Eeee!? What did you do… !”

“Look. It’s okay. Isn’t that data wrong?”

“It could have been wrong… . wrong… Did it happen… ?”

Even though I held the purification stone for quite a long time, there was no problem. Olivia’s curiosity seemed to be piqued for a moment, and she opened her eyes wide and carefully placed her finger on the purification stone.

Cheeek—!

“Gyaak… !?”

The moment her finger touched it, smoke and the smell of burnt air spread out, and Olivia quickly removed her finger. Seeing that he was in a lot of pain and was spraying the same solution on his hand as he was in pain, I don’t think the data is wrong.

“It’s dangerous. But why am I the only one who is okay?”

“Ugh… Why only me… .”

Well, if you can touch it, what does it matter what the reason is?

“So, Olivia. If you have these materials, can you make a cure?”

“Ugh… ? Well, I don’t know… . I’ll give it a try, but I’m not sure. Maybe we can achieve something meaningful… .”

“Hmm. Okay for now.”

“That… . Will the director take Jeong Hwa-seok with him?”

“Uh. But I’m not going back to the bureau.”

“Huh? Then when can I do research… ?”

“I don’t know. First, I will go to the capital and then return to the Bureau… Even if you take the Ryuka, it might take about a day.”

Olivia muttered as she bandaged her injured finger.

“Ugh… I have to do research without Jeong Hwa-seok… . We don’t even have all the data… I heard you’re really doing too much… .”

“Do you think it will be difficult?”

“Ah, heh… lol. no. You can. Hehehe… .”

“Okay. That’s the attitude.”

The spirit of making something happen if it can’t be done is what creates miracles.

Anyway, I said it was okay even if I didn’t have the purification stone, so I put the purification stone in my inventory. The last resort that was originally in my inventory didn’t seem to have any use in this route anyway, so I just threw it away. Because it is unnecessarily large, it is difficult to carry around.

As I left the laboratory, a huge blue dragon came down from the sky.

‘It came sooner than I thought.’

It’s been less than two hours since I told Banshee to call Ryuka, and he’s already here.

The charismatic giant blue dragon looked around, found me, and opened its mouth wide.

◦ at

“Wow, it’s noisy.”

Ryuka, who soon turned into a human, quickly hid behind me.

“Zeke, Zeke! Human corpses, a lot. There are too many… !”

“We had a fight before you came.”

“Ooooo… . Isn’t this Ryuka? It’s been a while.”

At that time, Olivia came out of the laboratory, found Ryuka, and greeted him.

“Kwaang… !? Zeke, you’re a scientist! A scientist has appeared!!”

When Ryuka had just arrived at the management bureau. Olivia examined Lyuka’s body. Literally every corner. Ryuka, who felt great shame in the process, strongly stated that she did not want to be the subject of research again, and as a result, her research on dragons was halted.

From then on, Ryuka began to dislike scientists, including Olivia.

“Let’s sleep. Calm down. Because I have somewhere to go, Ryuka. Quickly turn into a dragon again.”

“Ugh… . Zeke, haven’t you been treating me too much lately… ? I’m not talking… .”

“Can you ride my alter ego like a horse?”

“How did you know that… .”

Ryuka covered her mouth with her hand, but could not contain the words that had already been spoken.

In the end, Ryuka obediently turns into a dragon.

“Olivia and Kuen take the materials and return to the management office right away. Banshee will stay here and watch for any suspicious people. Leon, get on board. Let’s go to the water together.”

“Ahh—. I also want to go to the capital⸺.”

“Oh my. I’m jealous, Leon. A date alone with the director in the capital.”

“It’s not two, it’s three… . I have one too… … .”

“Ugh… My fingers hurt… .”

The heroines each add a word of gratitude to my commands.

“Noisy, moving fast.”

I urged it once, and only then did it start to move.

“Zeke. What business are you going to the capital for? If I have plans for something, I want to know in advance.”

“I have a very important guest to bring. Leon, you just need to break one wall.”

“I understand. It’s not hard to break it.”

Rion climbed on Ryuka’s back, and I followed suit.

“Oh, Banshee. What is St. Mary’s Church doing now?”

“Wait a minute.”

Banshee closed her eyes. This may be to communicate with Nazarin, his alter ego who has infiltrated the Church of the Virgin Mary.

“… … St. Mary’s Church is currently holding a regular meeting.”

“Do you see the woman with suspicious orange hair?”

“No. Can not see. Just familiar faces… . Should I ask you to look for it?”

“No. There’s no need for that.”

Crack-tap!

I patted Ryuka on the back and signaled the departure.

“I’ll go find it myself.”

Although the sun had not set yet, darkness had fallen in the room.

Several rats were squealing around the chair, and Patricia, who was sitting in the middle of them, was listening to something from a rat on her palm.

“Umm… . I see It’s a shame. The temple commander was a useful person, but he died in vain like this.”

Jump up –.

After completing its task, the mouse jumped from the hand to the floor. Afterwards, he disappeared along with the other rats.

“This is a big deal. Not only was the Crusader’s core unit annihilated, but the Purification Stone was also stolen… .”

Patricia got up from the chair and slowly walked towards the window.

she knows Zeke has a dragon who listens very well. With the dragon’s mobility, it doesn’t take much time to get from Ginner’s laboratory to here.

It must have taken a while for the rat to get the information, so it’s probably almost there by now.

Squeak!

At that time, the hidden rats came out all at once and started crying ominously.

“Hahahaha… . He’s a really fun guy.”

Patricia took a step back and away from the wall.

And soon,

Kwaang⸺!!

The wall she was standing on was completely shattered, and a huge dragon’s head burst into the room.

“Welcome. I knew it would come, but I never thought it would show its head so ignorantly and without any hesitation. How are you going to clean things up?”

Patricia wasn’t embarrassed.

Although I realized it too late, I still expected Zeke to come.

Why did you come to see me? It’s probably because he figured out his plan. It doesn’t matter how the man found out. Because this guy named Zeke has been like that for a long time. In fact, it would have been more disappointing not to notice.

But he hasn’t done anything yet. No matter how privileged the government is to the director, it will be difficult to mess with the Virgin Mary.

handshake. Patricia thought Zeke’s action was a handshake.

“Thanks to you, I laughed out loud. First of all, let me say thank you… . Hmm?”

I looked over the dragon’s head in a leisurely manner, but I couldn’t see Zeke where he was supposed to be.

‘Could it be that they only sent a dragon…? ? Wasn’t my goal? What on earth are you aiming for in a diversionary operation? ?’

While Patricia was busy thinking, the dragon watching opened its mouth.

“… … I guess not… .”

Before she could finish speaking, the dragon ate Patricia whole.

“Ha… . I never thought I would choose such an ignorant method.”

Inside the dragon’s maw. Patricia muttered, feeling uncomfortable in the dark and damp space.

The flame sac located inside the dragon’s neck heats the inside of its mouth to a very hot state so that it can spit fire at any time. Thanks to this, the saliva accumulated in the dragon’s mouth is boiling, and is hot enough to burn the moment it touches it.

Of course, Patricia wasn’t afraid of boiling spit. While I was getting burns all over my body, I actually thought this was a great opportunity.

It is difficult to pierce the tough skin of a dragon. However, if you are in the mouth where the mucous membrane is exposed, you can easily become infected.

“It seems like you don’t know who I am. Well, thanks to you, I have some good subordinates.”

Patricia concentrated the demonic energy of the plague on her fingertips. If you infect a dragon, a subordinate will be born that is incomparably stronger than the previous bosses.

At this, she smiled pleasantly and hummed.

However, suddenly a soft light leaked out from under the dragon’s tongue.

“Gotcha, bitch!”

“Kyaak–!!”

Patricia sat down in horror at the sight of Zeke covered in saliva sticking out from underneath her. At the same time, he accidentally fired the condensed magic energy at Zeke, and the fast-flying magic energy was destroyed by Zeke’s shining orb.

“Jeong Hwa-seok… ? How can you do that with bare hands!?”

There are limits to the information a rat can convey. It was easy to convey who went where, but it was difficult to convey who had what and how.

Afterwards, Zeke recklessly rushed at Jeong Jeong-seok and ended up touching her chest.

Cheee⸺!!!!

◦ at stop!! Stop, get away!!!!”

With strong smoke billowing out, Patricia writhed in pain.

Zeke skillfully restrained Patricia’s limbs and briefly removed the purification stone.

“Heo Eok… Huh… . What on earth is this… !? If you hide yourself under the tongue, you’re going to die! Also, how on earth can you hold the Jeonghwa Stone with your bare hands!? You, what on earth are you!?”

Zeke, whose face was so damaged by burns that it was unrecognizable, responded.

“What do you mean, he’s a guy who’s good at catching bitches like you.”
