The Archmage’s Restaurant - Chapter 121
# 121 Chapter.29
I want to see
spring flowers .
Is this an honest feeling?
I guess I’ve become completely accustomed to that guy who always hugs me, only looks at me, and does everything to suit me.
Did I need him as much as he needed me?
Now that I think about it, it’s been a really long time since I’ve been apart for more than a day. So much so that there was almost nothing.
I can’t sleep just because of that.
I can’t sleep even if Lurin is next to me, and I can’t sleep even if Lulin isn’t around.
If the first is to exercise self-control, is the second a feeling of longing?
oh my god.
It’s almost an addiction.
I think I was probably addicted to the warmth of Rurin, who wriggled into my arms at dawn.
***
Black Dragon Shrine.
And sanctuary.
Lulin was crouching down. It’s been a long time since I was put in a corner in such a pitiful position. A pose I used to do often when I was staying at Rare alone in the past.
Extend your fingers and spin them around the floor.
Every time that happens, L’s words keep coming to mind.
“There is no marriage.”
He clearly said so.
There is no marriage.
There is no marriage.
There is no marriage.
There is no marriage.
There is no marriage.
The tone was so stern that Lulin was dazed at that moment.
I was sleeping as usual. Lulin was lying on the bed, grinning because he was dreaming of El. My hair was flying wild and I was scratching my belly button through my pulled-up pajamas.
There was no elegance to be found, but instead, she was sleeping while radiating cuteness.
But I opened my eyes in surprise.
It’s not often that Lulin’s eyes sparkle like that.
If he hadn’t sensed the presence of the dragon, he would have opened his eyes only after El had come to wake him up and started making a fuss.
The presence of a dragon.
Lurin didn’t have a single good memory of the dragon’s presence. So I jumped up and rubbed my eyes.
I got off the soft king size bed I bought in Korea called Science and left the bedroom.
I look around and rub my eyes again.
Just then, Lulun approaches.
The presence of the dragon was felt in the center of the lair.
“Where are you now?”
“Lurururururun!”
“Is that so?”
Lulin nodded and went down to the first floor of Lair. I passed the main body room. My steps become faster. Especially because it wasn’t the Red Dragon’s presence that I often feel.
No, if it was the presence of a red dragon that I often feel, I might have walked faster.
Lulin passed through the main body room.
And then I realized that there was an El in the bathroom. Just then, a voice came from the bathtub.
“There is no marriage.”
Lurin, hearing that firm tone, stopped her hand from opening the bathroom door and froze at that moment.
After that, I stood silently in front of the bathhouse door until the elder came out.
And the elder said: Let’s go to the holy place.
Lurin looked at El.
I looked at it 3 times.
And at that very moment, Serena’s words came to mind.
Lurin was a very single-minded person. So, no matter how much Serena tried to persuade him, he listened with interest at the time, but was unable to actually push El away. The body rejects such things.
I am confident enough to say that El is imprinted in every cell of my body.
It was something that could never be done. Even if it actually has the effect that Serena said.
So, even though Lulin gave up his pride and listened to Sereina’s words, in the end, he would just ignore her words.
But at this moment, the psychological damage was significant.
I don’t think there is a need to get married or anything like that.
As long as I can stay with L like this until I die, nothing will matter.
But after actually hearing those words, I felt a flood of disappointment.
The valley of misunderstanding that arose from not hearing everything El said to the elder overflowed, causing Lurin to take unexpected action.
Lulin followed the elder as if he had been stung by something.
“You are bad.”
My fingers keep circling the ground. As Lurin looked at the endlessly spinning fingers, she felt her own eyes spinning too.
“But it’s still good. “I only have you.”
Lulin’s fingers stopped.
If I come like this, will you follow me? Serena said that she could tell Elle’s sincerity through that.
I had no intention of putting it into practice, but I did, and the conflict in my heart was only growing.
If you don’t come, everything so far becomes a lie.
but. What will I do if you don’t come?
“You are the one who is not married. I am… .”
No, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s a lie or not, whether it’s marriage or anything else, L has always been like that.
The fact that he was suddenly shocked by those words and came alone was all due to a joke.
As Lurin thought so, she started twirling her finger on the sandy ground again.
Lurin suddenly remembered something from before.
The image of L reaching out to his life, which was filled with darkness, came to mind.
Although human, he is strong.
He thought that he would kill him for disturbing his solitude, but he could not.
If so, I told him to kill himself, but he didn’t.
Then I told him not to disturb me and to turn off, but he didn’t.
Life with him began.
For years.
It lasted.
And the day the rare broke.
L gave a gift along with a birthday cake. Lurin became confused.
What is this person doing now?
When he dropped himself into a puddle of water. Lurin was instantly so angry that she let out the emotions she had never expressed in her life.
A family that watched their mother die.
And the elder who couldn’t stop it.
That is, grandfather.
All I could do was not even able to express my feelings of resentment towards them, just swallowing it inside, curling up and falling asleep with the rotting pain in my heart intact.
Feelings that I couldn’t express even then.
It just flowed out in front of people.
and.
That was the beginning.
I started expressing everything in front of L.
It was so much fun. I realized too late that this is what happiness feels like.
In this way, El gradually became everything to herself.
Because of him, you become yourself.
Not a swarthy, crouching, insignificant dragon.
If he had gone in and bit my arm and gotten angry the moment I said there was no marriage, this wouldn’t have happened.
Why did my body stiffen at that moment?
No matter how important marriage is to dragons as to humans.
why.
Those rules have nothing to do with it.
Another dragon appeared in front of Lurin, who was digging the ground.
Not an elder.
Lulin, who was ready to dig into the ground, got up. He then frowned as he looked at the dragon that appeared.
“What are you?”
“I am Luhad of the Black Dragon Luhan Clan.”
Lurin sat down in her seat with a cold wind blowing on her face as if she had no interest in anything.
“I do not care. Even if you marry El.”
Lurin, who was looking at the ground again, raised her head again in response to those strange words.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Because he’s human. It means that whether you and him are dating or getting married, I see it as just entertainment. No one recognizes the marriage between dragon and dragon as a true holy marriage. “You know that, right?”
“What?”
“And Lulin, you are a direct descendant of the Medidana clan, the current elder clan. A dishonorable incident involving your mother occurred, but because Niess of the Bagda clan, who was able to surpass the Medidana clan, died and Dihegma was dethroned, the next elder had no choice but to come from the Medidana clan in the end. If I marry you, my chances of becoming an elder will increase, so isn’t it natural for me to come forward here and there saying I’ll marry you? But everyone is paying attention to that scary human being, so I am saying that I acknowledge your relationship with humans. But since you also have to get married, you have to choose among them, and that story is coming from Sarin, Medidana’s godmother. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“… … .”
Lulin glared at Luhad with a shit-chewing expression.
“Life with El is a play and I will admit it as such, so are you saying I should marry you?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“Are you strong?”
“what?”
“I asked if you were stronger than me!”
Lulin suddenly stood up again. And then it started spewing out steam. Ruhad was in his original form, but he was pushed back by the force of the humanoid Lurin.
“Because I’m stronger than before. So go away.”
Because El is not the only one who has become stronger with the Dragon Orb. Of course, unlike El, who was completely absorbed by chance, Lulin’s absorption rate was still only about 10%, but that alone was enough to differentiate him from other dragons.
Ruhad felt it and broke into a sweat.
And then he quietly walked away. For now, I will go back and say I will see you after the Eucharist.
Lulin was actually one of the weakest dragons before absorbing the dragon beads.
But not now.
It wasn’t at a level where it could fight multiple dragons like El, but it was at a level where it wouldn’t be defeated by most dragons in a one-on-one match.
Another dragon appeared behind him.
This time it was an elder.
“What are you doing, didn’t you just leave Elle and run out of there?”
“What do you mean? “I’m going back!”
Lurin was startled by the elder’s words and shouted.
“What that guy said earlier is true. In fact, there are many people in the Black Dragon clan who think that way. Especially young people who haven’t seen L’s true colors in person. All of those present at that time were ancient dragons except Niess. “Yes, everyone thinks that the relationship between you and L is just entertainment.”
“Yuhee. What is entertainment? Can’t we like people beyond their race? I have never once thought of my life with El as entertainment, Elder. The person I am with L is the real me. Rather, when I was in the Holy Land and in my mother’s lair, it was never really me!”
“Hmm, that’s right, I’m well aware of this expense. Other dragons… .”
“Do not be ridiculous! I don’t even want another dragon to touch my finger! The only one who can touch my body is L. elder.”
“Then why did you come with me and run out?”
“that… .”
“I mentioned that something like this could happen to L as well. Hmm, more than that, don’t you want to try it out?”
“What what?”
“Whether he will come looking for you or not. “I told you that trouble would happen, and you ignored me and left, but if you stay in the restaurant, you’re a complete bastard.”
“Oh it will come!”
Lurin shouted strongly, but her words had no strength. In fact, I didn’t even think about it at all because I really didn’t like the idea that my existence might just be nothing to L.
“And even if you don’t come, I’ll go back. I… .”
“Okay, let’s watch. First, prepare to enter the sanctuary. If you don’t go through the Eucharist ceremony, you won’t be able to function as a proper dragon for the rest of your life. “You don’t want to keep being treated like a child by that guy, do you?”
“Ugh.”
Lulin quietly nodded.
The elder laughed inwardly as he looked at it. If that guy came to the Holy Land, there was no way.
There is no way to make my granddaughter happy.
At least I will never marry another dragon.
The elder had no intention of failing to raise his children a second time.
