Kidnapped Dragons

Yu Jitae had reinforced the house whenever he had time during the past three days.
He created a simple basement to store food and a garden on the outside.

Because of the difference in ornaments, the guide stood on the side of Yu household.

“But… we have sensed the use of mana from the bracelet on the side of Yu household.
So, uhh…”

In other words, it was a tie.

When Bom, Kaeul and Gyeoul looked at her, Yeorum gave a pout.

“Aye! Even then, a tie is not that exciting, is it.
Haha!”

“Umm, but.
Both of your houses were the greatest that I have seen so far! Hahaha… It’s embarrassing for me to dare evaluate them.
I have no idea how you could ever build such amazing houses in the field…”

In response to Myung Yongha’s statement, the guide tried zealously to please him.

Although they didn’t know, the guide was in fact feeling dead inside.

Myung Yongha was a VVIP who had authority, wealth and fame and Yu Jitae was a guest personally brought by him.
He wouldn’t be anyone normal no matter who he was.

It was a contest between those two.
Superhumans were mostly stuck in their own world and throughout his long time serving people, the guide saw numerous superhumans who took offence in such meagre bets.

The moment they gave a complaint, the guide would receive a mouthful of violent words from his superior.

So Yeorum’s action had been a great way out for him.

“Ayish.
We can’t do anything about that then.
But since it’s boring to just call it off, I’ll hand it over anyway.”

Myung Yongha handed a bottle of red alcohol to Yu Jitae.

“It’s a precious fermented wine.
Red Shoes.
Have you heard of it?”

“Red Shoes.
Of course.”

It was a type of mandrake, but since it didn’t grow on Earth, trying to find a root was like asking for the moon.

The fermented wine was that sweet and fragrant, and had a component that made people feel good.

However, the important procedure of the wine-making process was the removal of mandrake’s scream because a wine with a remnant of the scream was an illicit drug.
Thus, Yu Jitae utilised mana to confirm the components of the alcohol and confirmed that the scream had indeed been removed.

It was an extremely precious alcohol.

Yu Jitae also entered his alternate dimension inside and took out a precious alcohol.

“Ohh.
What wine is this?”

“It’s snake wine.”

Yu Jitae stopped there.

He didn’t state the fact that it was made with the tail of an SSS ranked great monster from an alternate dimension, [Imoogi*], but Myung Yongha would be able to tell that it was a good wine after having a shot.

And after sharing the presents, Myung Yongha suggested with a bright expression.

“Mister Jitae.
How about we have a campfire?”

“A campfire.”

“Yes yes.
If you’re okay with it, should we gather up on the last day and light a fire before we leave?”

He didn’t say anything,

“Uwah! A campfire? That’s so romantic…!”

“Ohh.
I’m fine with that too.”

“…!”

But it was decided nonetheless.

It was on the afternoon of the fourth day.

Yeorum, Kaeul and Gyeoul all prepared themselves to go mountain climbing.
It was because Yeorum found a treasure map in the morning.

She looked unenthusiastic for other events but was intrigued by the treasure map and the word ‘treasure’ incited Kaeul and Gyeoul as well.

Yu Jitae decided to stay behind alone to complete the ‘Household Field Trip Record’ which had to be submitted to Lair.
There was a lot to write because there were three cadets in the household.

And Bom stayed back as well.

“You’re not going, unni?”

“Nn.
I’m fine.”

“It’s a treasure.
A treasure! Aren’t you curious?”

“You guys are my treasures.”

Kaeul rubbed her arms, saying, “Uuhhh… I got goosebumps,” and Bom smiled back.
Everyone knew how Bom wasn’t an active type so they quickly gave up on persuading her.

Bom gently waved at the kids.

“Take a look at the spirit tree on the way for me please.”

“Ah right! It almost bloomed yesterday as well…!”

After sending the kids off, it was just Yu Jitae and Bom left inside the small house.
She laid down on the bed.

Sitting down on a simple chair, Yu Jitae relied on the plain table and used the pen he received from the guide to write the record.
Bom stood up from the bed and approached his back.

She watched him from behind.

Without sparing her a glance, Yu Jitae continued with the record as Bom sneakily sat next to him and watched him write for a long time.

Yu Jitae quite unexpectedly had bad handwriting, but his bad handwriting was uniform as if they were printed by a computer.
Bom quietly stared at those written words, but her gaze slowly travelled up.
She looked at his hand, and soon stared at his arm that had protruding veins.

Seeing that Yu Jitae was still focused on writing the record down, Bom pushed her head in even further.
Blinking her grass-coloured eyes, she stared at his face.

When he still didn’t look back, Bom placed her two arms on the tabletop and rested her head on her hands.
Her two eyes were still fixated on Yu Jitae.

Only then did Yu Jitae’s gaze turn towards Bom.
The green hair strands were all over the table.

With a gentle smile, she opened her mouth.

“Hi.”

He, who silently looked into her eyes, turned back to the paper without saying anything back and started moving the pen again.
Bom still had the same faint smile as she stared at him.

Mischievousness gently surfaced beneath the relaxed smile.

Bom lifted her hand and waved it in front of his face, but he didn’t react in any way.

Bom slowly moved her hand and meekly tapped his shoulder, but he didn’t react.

Soon, mischievousness covered her expression as she reached her hand out towards his ears.
She then once again softly touched his ears, but he still didn’t react.

There were five pages on the table.
He looked busy and that must be why he was ignoring her.

So Bom slowly leaned on his body and rested her chin on his shoulder.
And when he still didn’t react, Bom brought her lips to his ears and whispered.

‘What about now?’

This was hard to ignore and Yu Jitae finally turned his head.
After pulling herself back, Bom giggled under her breath.

“I’m busy.”

“Nn.”

“Go there and rest.”

“Okay.”

She didn’t interrupt him any longer and Yu Jitae continued with the daily records.
But at some point in time, it became harder for him to write.

The green pair of eyes had been staring at him for almost 30 minutes straight.

He turned around.

“Why?”

“…”

“Continue with your writing please.”

“How about you go there and rest.”

“But I want to rest here…”

She was right next to him, and the small gap between them was slightly troubling.

“Ahjussi.”

“What.”

“When you’re done with that, please teach me this.”

Bom lifted her left hand.
It was unknown when she had taken it out from the storage, but the bottle of alcohol Myung Yongha gave was in her hand.

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Alcohol’s not for kids.”

“Yeorum smokes though…”

She was right.

When he closed his mouth, Bom giggled as if it was an extremely funny statement.
“Calling me a kid…” she murmured before pointing at the document he was writing.

[Yu Bom (Female) Age: 21]

“I’m twenty-one…”
