Kidnapped Dragons

Walk for a few steps. Blood flows every time the head is twisted.

The crow lost its center in a few seconds. I fell down with my head on my desk. The relic that stopped moving once never happened again.

What does this mean?

“ ……. ”

Zhang Luk Benger lifts his trembling hand and pulls his glasses out of his pocket. Then I wore artifact glasses.

There was no one in the office at the time. Simmons and his men were out on a private mission. There was only himself here as his representative.

“ ……. ”

I decided to think one step at a time.

1. The opponent is a residential complex outside of Haitling. Hatling is currently flying over the Pacific Ocean, so it's on the other side of the planet.

2. Crow artifacts have broken the cervical bones, but they have flown all the way here with a strong life force unique to the artifacts.

In other words, the opponent only broke the collarbone of the crow's artifact right before he died. It's like you want to get here and then die. The reason for doing so was to warn with the return of the note. Don't get too close.

What? Break the neck of a creature just before it dies? Does that make any sense? If someone had said so, Zhang Luk would not have believed it.

There's a steamed corner. First of all, the old man thought that was it.

3. [Little Red Door, 60 Rue Charlot, 75003 Paris, France]

The office with Simmons and Janluc was not the address of the café written in the note.

The Little Red Door Café now has another rookie. If someone came, I would be contacted and Simmons would leave. The reason is simple. I didn't want to tell you the location of the office here.

Crow ‘Cro’ is determined to be educated and reach the nearest Node first. So, as always, Cro should stop by the cafe relatively close to his office in Hatling and come here first.

And if he stopped by the cafe, he should have received a report in some way.

But there were no reports.

Cro came here.

“ ……. ”

Eyes out the window.

The old man's fingertips become distasteful. A frightening imagination grazed my brain.

He calls someone with a watch.

The signal is continuing.

The opponent receives a call.

“Arthur?”

― Yes, this is Arthur.

“ ……. ”

― Benger? Arthur, we're on standby. Tell me.

“... No, no. That's it.”

Zhang Luk holds his glasses in the case with a trembling hand.

Then I restructured the situation from the beginning.

Conclusion: The opponent knew where Simon's office was from the beginning. Cro has broken his cervical bones and flew to the parlour closer to the parlour than to the café. So the opponent will be nearby now.

Maybe..... he is looking at himself somewhere outside the window.

“Damn it.... ”

The old man threw up like a vomit, and then he curtained up.

The wrinkled hands move. He takes out a note that is stuck deep in the crow's mouth. It was bowed in the blood of a crocodile that burst from its broken neck.

The moment I opened the note, the wrinkles of Zhangluk's eyes became slightly deeper.

Three circles.

The first of them is drawn in red X.

Who are the other two?

“ ……. ”

The old soldier intuited.

Each time you give a note, the X will increase by one. So if Simmons doesn't see this note, unnecessary conflicts will be resolved.

And he had to stop the conflict.

So, how?

The old soldier closed his eyes.

This is all because it's been a long time since the war ended and my instincts are blurred. In the royal year.....

Damn it. I'm old and I've only increased my pottery. It's a fucking excuse.

I want to squeeze the face of a young owner today. Fortunately, Simmons was not by his side. If I had shown him the appearance of a cro, the persuasion would have come close to impossible.

Then you have to hide the cro. Simmons returns in 20 minutes. What excuses do you have to hide trained artifacts…….

It was then.

A lightning bolt touched Janluck's head.

After all, it was time for Cro to behave the way he did once a year.

When was the Cro's Trojan last year...?

The old soldier opened his eyes.

At the same time as the hole appears to rise, the grittiness comes out like a snare.

He sincerely apologized for the tribulations he had suffered for them for decades. He died and flew to his master, but he will not know his death.

“It's because of my virtuosity..... ”

He decided to hide the crow's body.

“I'm sorry."

There was no other way.

* * *

“... I understand. ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled with an open expression, as if the strained thread had been cut off.

“Haha, I'm sorry. I pretended this was useless. ”

He shakes his head. As a soldier, it was also a finite attitude.

“My benefactor remains unchanged. I'll give you a business card. If you need any help, please let me know. ”

He got his business card. Only three letters of name and a phone number are written in the white background.

Myeong-yong has been winking.

“This is my number, not the manager. ”

The private conversation was that far.

Upon returning to the table, Professor Myeong-joong, his eldest son in spring, winter, and his wife, Jungwon Myeong-joong, were chattering.

Seven ice creams were poured and turned to them. It was vanilla and chocolate strawberry, and what was in front of it in winter was strawberry. Then his son, Myeong-jun, looked at his father and shook his head.

“Why, my son. ”

I looked at Myeong-jun without telling him clearly what he was old for. Then Myeong-yong smiled and changed his ice cream and his son's ice cream. So Myeong-jun ate strawberry flavored ice cream.

“You don't like strawberries. ”

“Joe, I'm better. ”

“Aah! What are you doing with our child? ”

Wahahaha! Myeong Yong-ha, who was snowing in the winter, smiled with a big smile.

After that, Myeong-jun nodded or shook his head vaguely. Then I found out what my son wanted like a demon.

The regent was amazed by such a name. How do you know that well?

In his seat, he looked back at the winter. The winter, when he was eating an insanely sticky gelato ice cream, looked back at his gaze.

I don't know why you're thinking.

She asked me in her head.

Then, after a long winter, I hesitated for a moment and spread strawberry ice cream and gave it to Keeping.

“ ……? ”

“I'm fine. ”

Doridori.

He's stirring.

Well...

“It's okay. You should eat it. ”

Doridori.

I don't know what he wants yet.

* * *

The winter was dazed, and Myeong-yong and his wife looked at him.

The eyes looked at each other, something special.

Is it an illusion?

Winter laughed for a while.

No, it wasn't an illusion. It was when my wife was feeding my eldest son ice cream. Something seemed to emanate from Myeong-yong's eyes as he looked at his wife and son alternately.

“ ……! ”

Winter wanted to know what those special eyes were.

The famous hummingbird smiles and lays his chin on his wife's shoulders. And I said, "What about me?” I flirted. And she said, "Oh, what's wrong?” I was grumpy. The voice was clearly the doctor of refusal. However, something emanates from his wife's gaze on him.

His wife's eyes continued the same way towards his son. And while biting a bottle of milk on a newborn child.

“ ……. ”

Winter seemed so good to them.

“ ……. ”

I could see why the boy was looking at himself over there, but I don't know.

Winter got curious.

So he takes a little hand and releases strawberry ice cream and looks back.

Then I gave out the ice cream as carefully as I had just seen.

* * *

“Eat me? ”

“… yes. ”

An eye for something.

The winter avoided the spoon of sluggishness as the keeper stretched out his hand and tried to grab the spoon.

And when he cleared his hand, he put out the spoon again.

In sum, I'll feed him myself. This is it.

I don't know what it means to try to feed. Winter was looking at itself with eyes full of expectation. Maintenance received innumerable winter strawberry ice cream.

“ ……! ”

Then he opened his eyes.

The God-fearing winter continued to spread ice cream to the peasants. I don't know how long he'll be satisfied with it. The regent received the royal food.

It's been a long time. It was when his ice cream appeared on the floor. When I look back at it at some point, spring is holding my breath and laughing.

Why.

“Huh? No. ”

Then he laughs again.

I felt like I had eaten too much. The bowl of winter is empty.

“… Ah. ”

One day, a sober winter looked at the bowl with a gloomy face. I was so distracted by what I was giving, I didn't even know I was out.

Spring, noticing the look of winter, whispered into the ears of the keeper.

“You also need to feed the winter ice cream. ”

What is it?

“Come on, winter will be happy. ”

Spring smiled confidently.

It's strange, but it's not like I've never fed something to winter. The regent lighted up the winter and spread his chocolate ice cream on his knees. Then I wondered.

It's not a great gift. Nor is there a spectacular sight. It's just ice cream.

I was just wondering if you'd be happy with this.

The regent thought so and gave the spoon to the winter. He couldn't see the look on his back. Winter slowly put ice cream in his mouth. The back of his head shook. The one who made the spoon tidy is dirty. I saw the ball seal.

The one who swallowed the ice cream looked back. He seemed to see his eyes more clearly than usual.

The regent did not avoid the child's gaze.

“ ……. ”

A few seconds to change your gaze. Winter breathes heavily and nods. What is so satisfying....

He had a proud smile on his mouth.

It was then. Spring whispered in his ear again.

“What do you think? You like it? ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

“Then... whose turn is it now? ”

What is it?

He looked back at the spring. Isn't he opening his mouth?

I had a hard time maintaining it. Spring burst into bread, kicking and laughing.

* * *

I want to break up with my family under Myeong Yong.

It was time to go around the theme park with spring and winter.

“How about a haunted house? ”

“... a haunted house? ”

“Yeah, that would be fun. ”

The regent pondered for a moment.

House of Ghosts. House of Ghosts....

I thought I might like winter, even if it's spring or myself.

On the way, Rare's characters in doll mounts greeted people with flowers and candy.

Cat. Puppy. Zebra. Deer. Puppets such as chicks, tigers, etc.

But one of the dogs had a unique doll mount. Blue body and face like a reptile. Horns and beards on the head. and a bone plate from the head to the back along the neck.

It was an imaginary animal, a dragon.

The winter, held in the arms of the keeper, shines its eyes and touches the dragon doll's heel. I meant to go that way.

As I approached quietly, winter touched the face of the dragon doll. Be careful with your hands, or your child is so pretty. The person wearing the doll mount did not avoid the hand of winter.

The winter that touched the beard for a long time reflected on the state of health. Then he pointed to the other dolls.

“… Cat. ”

He nods.

“… a puppy. ”

He nods.

The winter that spoke of zebras, deer, beetle, tiger, etc. finally pointed to the dragon doll.

“… what is this? ”

The regent laughs.

It was a little ridiculous.

At that time, a woman's voice was heard in the doll stall.

― It's a dragon. Our beautiful friend!

“... a dragon? ”

Winter looked back with a smile in the bedroom.

Then he asked Keeping.

“... What's a dragon? ”
