Chapter.38 You are not there.
Rare to Lurin.
From what I’ve seen so far, Lurin almost identifies this rare as her mother.
They consider staying in the rare to be staying in their mother’s arms. Because he is the one who finds sleeping in those arms the greatest happiness.
“If it’s raining, doesn’t that mean the rare is broken? I’ve never had anything like this before… !”
“I guess that’s possible. But for now, calm down. “I’ll find out.”
Although he is a dragon, he is just a hatchling that has not yet reached adulthood. Also, I have no worldly experience.
What she heard from her mother is all she knows about the world.
From then on, I just stayed in Rare.
If I had to choose one more thing I would know, it would be this rare and the constant harassment from his compatriots.
So I just stood there blankly, embarrassed and crying. I looked around on Lurin’s behalf.
He just said that there has never been a water leak before. But the water is leaking.
If so, there is one thing I can guess.
Two black dragons that visited the rare before. That’s because they ran wild on the top of this mountain.
If you think about the dirt and sand falling from the ceiling, that is the cause of the water leak.
Other dragons have probably done the same thing so far, and no matter how strong a rare is made, if the same damage is accumulated, it can suffer.
Considering that possibility, I ran to the place where the dragons were rampaging.
Shoot!
The rain gets stronger.
And the prediction was correct. The cause was quickly discovered.
“Lurin! “This way.”
I made a gesture and the guy came running towards me. And then he lay down next to me in the same position as me, with his knees on the ground.
“Look here, because of those guys back then and because of the accumulated damage from before, the roof of the lair beneath the ground around here has caved in. The ceiling is partially broken, but dirt covers it, so I think the water is just dripping… .”
“hate! I don’t like that. It’s the only thing my mom passed down to me. My mother, who left me behind, is the only one left behind… But why!”
The complexion is pale. I tremble lightly.
Even when he was bullied, even when his body was trampled, and even when he was told to kneel, the guy whose expression didn’t change at all had tears in his eyes when he heard that Rare was falling apart.
Falling rain.
Even though it completely wet her hair and the water ran down her face.
I felt like I could somehow distinguish between the cold raindrops falling down and the hot tears welling up around Lurin’s eyes.
It’s still okay.
I’m actually glad I found out before they came and started pounding me once more. After checking that, I opened my mouth in Lurin’s ear.
“Calm down, Lurin. “It’s still okay.”
“Are you sure?”
“okay. “It’s very precious, isn’t it?”
“precious. It is more precious than anything else. It’s the only thing my mom left me. therefore… therefore… .”
“I guess so.”
“You don’t know. Everyone cursed and harassed me, but the reason I was able to endure it was because I was with the rare that my mother left me. therefore… therefore… .”
“Okay, okay. I don’t know. You may not know the pain you suffered. But there is one thing I know.”
“What do you know… ?”
Rurin looked at me with tears in her eyes. I nodded and spoke emphatically.
“It’s important to you, so let’s protect it. Let’s protect it together. “That’s okay, so stop crying, you idiot.”
“that is… “Really?”
“okay. “Because I’m on your side.”
took my hand I wiped the corners of Lulin’s eyes that were blending with the rain with my hands. It may have been meaningless in a rainy situation like this, but it still brought tears to my eyes.
The heat before mixing with the cold raindrops touches my fingers.
“So don’t cry. “Isn’t it so pitiful to cry in the rain?”
“Don’t touch!”
“Can’t you just put your head on my stomach and wipe away my tears while I sleep?”
“That’s because it’s a pillow. “Now these are your hands!”
“It’s an unknown standard. “If you don’t want to be touched like that, don’t whine.”
“… … .”
Lulin pursed his lips. The anger that had surged upon hearing that rares could be fixed has subsided significantly.
“Can you really fix it? “Isn’t it leaking?”
“huh. “Let’s repair it right away.”
“… … “Then forgive me for calling you an idiot earlier.”
“And I hope you don’t cry?”
“i get it. “I don’t cry.”
Lurin spoke bravely and wiped her eyes with her own hands.
The courage that blooms in that pitiful appearance is beautiful.
Why?
The more we spend together, the more I want to watch this guy. I feel like I want to protect it. Why?
Anyway, I started working. The rain continues to fall. Work continued on top of that. Silently.
The first thing to do is to dig out all the dirt from the area where the rare was broken.
Lulin and I continued the work in silence.
Even though the rain continued to take away the body heat from both of us, we continued to work patiently. In the meantime, Lurin broke the silence and opened her mouth.
“But why are you protecting us together?”
“huh?”
“Everyone criticizes mom. My mother said it was a disgrace to the family. Everyone points fingers. I am a being that should not have been born. A dirty being. But why? “Why are you looking at your mother’s rare?”
“Didn’t you just say that?”
Lulin tilted his head as if asking what that meant.
“That’s because I’m on your side.”
“On my side… ?”
“I’m on your side, so of course I’m also on your mom’s side. I don’t care what your mom did. But I heard about it as we already ate together, slept together, and stayed together… Oh, of course you might not… Anyway, it was like that, but what does it matter what people who don’t know much are talking about? Even if it is true that your mother is bad, I am on your mother’s side because I decided to be on your side. So we will fight together.”
“That’s strange. I’m alone… .”
“What are you talking about? You’re not alone now, right? “We’re still staying together.”
Lulin closed his mouth. I just kept working again.
Soon the broken part of the rare came into view. Fortunately, it’s not that extensive. Tinkering is possible.
“Lurin, can you find a stone of this size?”
“You mean a stone?”
“okay.”
Lurin, who had been silent after saying that we were staying together, nodded at me and started moving around.
“This much?”
“Yeah, that much.”
Lurin immediately picks up the stone.
It’s a girl business.
He then returned with a stone three times the size of my face.
I lifted the stone. Basalt material. This is the stone I want.
I placed the stone on the broken part of the rare.
Then, he burned the stone using ultra-high temperature class 8 fire magic that melts everything.
Temperatures hotter than lava melt the stone into a mushy liquid.
And if you leave it alone after using cold magic at that very moment, the lava gradually cools down with cold rain and continues to generate smoke.
The stone melted and stuck to the broken part and then hardened.
When a chunk of stone exploded from a volcanic eruption falls to the ground, it solidifies in this way. I used that principle.
Similar work was continued to completely attach stones to all parts of the rare.
The broken part was repaired by melting stones, but this is not perfect. It is best to melt the metal on top of it, spread it out, and then cover it with soil.
“If you do this and ask the dwarves to repair it later, it won’t break down in succession.”
“… … .”
“what’s the matter? Because it’s amazing?”
“Uh uh… “Oh no!”
What do you mean by trying to admit it and then saying no?
“Anyway, first aid is done, so let’s go down. “It’s cold because of the rain.”
Nod.
Rurin, who was staring at me blankly, nodded obediently and followed behind me.
Still, I was so worried that I kept stopping and looking back all the way down.
***
That rainy day.
The guy first talked about his mother. However, because his attitude was still the same, he did not want to hastily break the relationship he had barely built.
Of course, the homework Rod asked for is important. So, I am looking at the gap, but I plan to approach it slowly and slowly.
So wait for your time.
And my life with Rurin gradually became deeply embedded in my heart. After coming to this world, I was no different from being alone.
It’s not that I didn’t have subordinates and friends, but there was no one I cared about enough to tell my true feelings.
He too is a lonely being in this world.
I am also a lonely being who came into this world alone.
For some reason, Lulin didn’t seem like a stranger to me because of that.
Time goes by quickly.
When the weather was nice, I used the bet as an excuse to drag Lulin outside. It’s not a big deal, but it’s important to be active.
There is a big difference between just curling up and walking around nature.
And before I knew it, Lurin started to be dragged out as if it wasn’t even a bother to argue with him. And that fact is a secret that only Lulin does not realize, so he does not dare to reveal it.
“This is delicious. “Let’s pick them all.”
“Is that so? If you do that, that’s it! “Tdanda!”
When he wanders around and finds a fruit with excellent sweetness, he moves his hand as if competing with Lurin.
It’s not just fruits. There are many herbs with different flavors that you can eat.
During the war, when we were isolated for more than a month in the mountains and wandering around looking for food, the soldiers, including me, ate these wild plants while learning firsthand what we could and could not eat.
So, it is strong in this type of botany. It is not something I saw or heard somewhere, but something I learned by risking my life, so it is not easily forgotten.
This thin wild grass in front of you has a delicious taste.
If you mix it with the fruit you picked earlier to make pasta, it is an ingredient that can become wild pasta.
When you peel the yellow fruit, the slightly hard flesh comes out.
It feels a bit like a tomato, but also like an almond, so if you fry it with the wild herbs from before and then add garlic, it becomes a not bad meal.
“Come here.”
“Where are you going? Give it to me and go! hungry!”
“If you want to eat, come along.”
“Stand there!”
I ran with a koppel containing cooked pasta. I’m not saying that we should suddenly try to catch me.
This isn’t any kind of beach.
If you go straight this way, you will come to a cliff. The cliff was made up of huge, strangely shaped rocks, and a valley flowed beneath it, which flowed down to the plains in the distance, making the scenery very beautiful.
Enjoy pasta while sitting on top of that cliff. It’s tasteful, right?
“Now take it. Since I didn’t bring a bowl, let’s eat half each. “Sit here.”
“hungry. hungry.”
“Isn’t it your daily routine to sleep without eating anything? “Then you said you went hunting when you really didn’t have enough energy to sleep?”
“That’s right. But it’s strange these days. “This is all because of you!”
And there was one more thing that changed here.
The title “you” instead of “your guy” has become a little softer. Of course, when I’m angry, I still call it you.
“okay? Did you change because of me? “Is that good?”
“So, you are my subordinate who cooks! Give it to me! Unbelievable! “No way!”
It was rushing towards the pot, so I put my hand to my forehead to stop it, but my hand just swung back and forth.
“How about the scenery?”
“sight? Landscape is landscape. “When I fly in the sky, I get tired of seeing the same scenery.”
“Is that so? Still, I’ve probably never eaten at a place like this. Now eat slowly. While enjoying the scenery. “This is called a picnic.”
“Hey Mai-kun!”
But in the end, Rurin ignores the picnic or the scenery and is obsessed with pot. Moreover, I inhaled all the pasta in the pot into my mouth.
“Hey, what should I do if I put all of mine in one bite!”
Wagu wagu wagu.
A dragon that moves its mouth wildly, pretending not to notice.
“Spit it out. Open your mouth! Spit out mine! Dragon!”
“Sour! “Don’t stop!”
This is my recent daily life.
Still never had a smile on my face.
don’t laugh
but.
Regardless of whether it was Rod’s homework or sympathy for Lulin, this itself was enjoyable.
