Episode 497 The heartbreaking story of running away from home (2)
“Actually, he started losing hair because of me. For receiving my heat. Nevertheless, because I held him by my side, he stopped…”
“Stop?”
“The hair roots… crunchy.”
“….”
“Crispy.”
“….”
Why are there tears in my eyes? Why do I feel a numb pain in one side of my chest just by listening to it?
Rakiel wiped the corners of his eyes without realizing it. A bitter smile appeared on the lips of Flame Dragon Kalidis.
“Actually, that’s true. I was born with extreme heat from the moment I hatched from the egg. So I suffered from one thirsty deficiency my whole life. Do you know what that is?”
“If you say it’s a deficiency… is it because of congenital heat?”
“okay. coolness.”
“Coolness…?”
Rakiel tilted his head.
Yan Hwa-ryong’s bitter smile became even deeper.
“that’s right. I have never felt a sense of coolness in my life. I was curious and desperate. These days, I’ve let go of that desire to some extent, so it’s become less so, but back in the day, it was at a desperate level. That’s why. “I met my current husband.”
“You have met a match made in heaven that will make you feel refreshed.”
“yes. But didn’t I tell you? “I have never felt a sense of coolness ‘yet’.”
“Ah, then… Was the coldness of Bingryongin’s husband, or King Taeyong, not enough to provide you with coolness?”
“okay.”
Yan Hwa-ryong nodded.
“We, no, he worked tirelessly. I trained myself. He further honed his innate coldness and forged it into an even harsher force. But even so, it was still not enough. I still didn’t feel cool, and he became more and more self-destructive. And I… became even more anxious. “I urge him and scold him.”
“Then it couldn’t be…”
“No. “He didn’t run away from home because of my bullying.”
“Ah yep. “I’m sorry for skipping over it.”
“are you okay. Anyway, he kept trying and didn’t give up. The more it happened, the longer it stayed by my side. Of course, I was exposed to more heat.”
“Are you saying I’ll be exposed to the heat just by staying near you?”
“okay. “That’s the case when I’m in dragon form.”
“Ah…”
“Maybe it was because he stayed by my side despite being exposed to the heat for so long. At some point, his hair started losing its luster. I could see the strands getting thinner little by little. But he didn’t give up. I worked harder. And then finally…”
“Finally?”
“Crunchy….”
“Whoosh….”
“Then he said he couldn’t show me his bald head, so he stopped….”
“….”
Yeom Hwa-ryong finally nodded with tears in his eyes. I had to turn it around. Rachiel held out the handkerchief he had taken from his bosom to her with a solemn(?) heart.
“Thank you so much. “Paeng!”
Grumble!
When Yan Hualong blew his nose, the handkerchief instantly burned, turning into ashes and scattering. Rachiel said, trying hard to control her expression.
“I didn’t know there was such a story. “It’s a shame.”
“You probably didn’t know. He was probably too embarrassed to say it with his own mouth.”
“I understand.”
“I understand?”
“yes.”
“how?”
“I also suffered from hair loss in the past. “I was so stressed because the work I was doing in my previous life was falling apart.”
“I see. “It must have been painful.”
“no. “It’s just a thing of the past now.”
“How great it would be if nightmares like this were just a thing of the past for my husband too. Phew.”
“….”
Mrs. Yan Hwa-ryong sighs deeply!
Looking at her, Rachiel was able to realize.
‘Write it. So, the hair loss of Sir Roberto, the identity that Bingryong was disguising as… wasn’t a lie?’
In fact, it was something that I thought was a little strange until now.
It was from the time I found out that Sir Roberto’s identity was Bingryong Tyranus. I kept getting the feeling that the cause of his hair loss and Bingryong’s attributes did not match.
‘Sir Roberto’s hair loss, which he suffered from in the past, was caused by the constant heat his body received. So it was strange. If his true identity is Bingryong, he would have been able to sufficiently cool down the minor body heat.’
So I thought hair loss was also a part of camouflage. I wondered if he was deliberately pretending to be bald to make his identity more natural.
But now I understand.
‘That hair loss was real. At the time, I thought it was because of the Manasimbeop, which has the unique heat of Roberto Kyung’s family… but in fact, it was because of my wife’s hot(?) heat. So, in other words….’
It means that hair loss is a disaster that not even a dragon can do anything about.
“….”
What is hair loss?
How is it that even a semi-transcendent being, a dragon, can’t do anything?
‘Write it. ‘Making hair grow was more difficult than dimensional travel.’
Rachiel frowned.
I was able to realize it at the same time.
This is the real fundamental problem of this couple.
‘So, once the hair loss is resolved, everything will proceed smoothly?’
That’s it.
Hair loss is the cause.
Bingryong, who had endured the heat until the end, saying he would make his wife feel cool, was so shocked by the fact that his hair roots were crunching away that he went into hiding.
So, all you have to do is save Bingryong’s hair roots.
All you have to do is make him rich.
Then, the couple can safely reunite. Bingryong doesn’t have to hide his strength for fear of his location being discovered. Finally, it is possible to turn Damian into a frozen human. Then, the progression of lung cancer can be stopped, a cure can be found, and the Demon King will become sullen.
‘So, if we just solve hair loss, there will be world peace!’
It’s… accomplished.
It works, though.
“….”
how?
Rachiel suddenly became solemn.
I couldn’t think of a way. How to revive faded hair roots? It hasn’t been developed yet on Earth. What did you learn at oriental medicine school? Of course not. There was some, but the effect was still minimal.
‘Well, there are several herbal medicine prescriptions. There was. Depending on your constitution, you can use Yukmijihwang-tang (六味地黃湯) or herbal acupuncture treatment on a neck with blocked circulation. Or press the heat with Cheongyeong-tang (淸營湯). In 2017, there was also a paper published titled ‘Case Report of 4 Male Pattern Hair Loss Patients who Received Oriental Medicine Treatment’.
The contents of the paper came to mind at first glance.
Perhaps it was a report on the treatment effect when taking ‘Propecia’, a Western hair loss treatment, and Cheongyeong-tang, an herbal medicine, together with an herbal ointment.
‘According to the paper I read at the time, it was definitely quite effective. But…’
Can the contents of that paper be implemented here?
Can it be applied to the constitution of Bingryong, which is different from that of humans?
I can’t be sure yet.
‘It would have been nice to have seen a little more follow-up research after that paper.’
Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that.
Rakiel asked Flame Dragon, feeling curious.
“Then, Queen Taeyong over there?”
“Hmm?”
“After listening to Queen Taeyong’s words, I thought that once King Taeyong’s hair loss was cured, everything would go smoothly. So, I’m asking, King Taeyong, have you made any attempt to treat hair loss?”
“Maybe you’ve tried it.”
“What kind of treatment did you receive?”
“You asked me to shoot your breath.”
“yes?”
“They asked me to blow the strongest heat on my peeling hair.”
“Why?”
“I have to get over it. “They say we need to correct the discipline of the hair roots that have begun to succumb to the heat.”
“So what about Queen Taeyong?”
“Yes, I shot it.”
“….”
“The top of my head disappeared, my husband.”
“….”
“Whew. “He was once a handsome man with long, beautiful silver hair.”
“….”
“But after getting hit with the breath, the top of my head started to sparkle.”
“….”
“Honestly, it was cute for a moment because it looked like a chestnut. You must have a very good head. That’s why.”
“So that was it?”
“I slapped him without realizing it.”
“….”
“He ran away crying.”
“…Whew. “You were cruel.”
“Yeah, I know. So I regret it. “After that, I haven’t seen my husband’s face for 90 years.”
“Okay.”
“But why are you asking about the cure? “Do you think they are trying to treat me?”
“Well, to be honest, I’d like to do it, but…”
“But?”
“To be more honest, I’m a little at a loss. “Hair loss is such an incurable disease.”
“Are you saying that this is a difficult disease even for the person who treated my daughter’s picky eating habits, which seemed like they would never change?”
“Yes, I’m sorry. But…”
“But?”
“There is one method that I would like to try somehow.”
“Which way?”
Yan Hwa-ryong tilted his upper body with sparkling eyes.
Rakiel responded with a wince.
“Actually, in the old world I lived in, there was a decoction used for hair loss. “Cheongyeong-tang is a medicine that reduces unnecessary heat in the body.”
“Open?”
“yes. Therefore, it is also used for male pattern baldness caused by heat spreading upward. Of course, it’s a pity that taking just one medication doesn’t significantly improve it.”
“It’s not getting any better? So doesn’t that mean it’s not very effective?”
“yes. That’s right. “But I thought it might be a little different here.”
“how?”
Mrs. Yan Hualong’s eyes sparkled even more intensely. That must be why her will to treat her husband is so strong. Rakiel calmly explained an idea that just happened to come to mind.
“The Cheongyeongtang I just mentioned contains many ingredients. Among them, there is something called Seogak (犀角).”
“Seogak?”
“yes. “It’s a rhinoceros horn.”
“Isn’t that a common ingredient?”
“That may be true here, but it was different where I lived. Rhinoceros are a rare and protected species. Moreover, personally, I don’t think adding rhino horn really improves the efficacy of the medicine. It’s an ingredient that’s almost like a superstition. “It’s to the point that the efficacy of the medicine will improve because it contains the majestic horns of a precious animal.”
“But why are you mentioning rhino horn, which is said to be at the level of superstition?”
“It seems like you can get horn here that is much more effective than rhino horn.”
“A horn that is sure to be effective?”
“yep.”
“for example?”
“Something like a unicorn.”
“Oh my?”
As soon as she heard the name “unicorn,” Ms. Yan Hwa-ryong’s expression changed. She was sure. Unicorn. A pure white horse with horns that possess mysterious magical power just by its mere presence. I had a strong feeling that if I used that damn horn, I would definitely be able to make a great medicine.
It was that moment.
“Wait a minute.”
Mrs. Yan Hwa-ryong suddenly stood up.
I flew out of the lava cave without even looking back. This happened without Rachiel having a chance to stop it.
“uh? “Queen Taeyong?”
I called late, but there was no answer. The only sound I could hear was the majestic sound of wings sweeping away through the lava tunnel.
“Heh heh.”
Could it be that the fire dragon went to catch the unicorn? Oh no way. That was the moment I thought.
…Whoa!
This time, the sound of a rapidly approaching storm was heard through the passageway in the distance. And Lady Yan Hwa-ryong, in human form, returned, landing with a violent crash sound.
Boom! Phew!
The heat of the enormous aftermath that comes with her!
Feels like my skin is ripening.
Feeling suffocated.
It was almost as if I had re-entered the ‘Hellfire Sapphire Happy New Year Insanity Room,’ which was the most difficult experience at the local sauna where I used to live.
But Rachiel couldn’t pay attention to the heat at all. I couldn’t do that. Mrs. Yeom Hwa-ryong landed on the floor in a rough posture. The reason why the animal was crying mournfully, with its hair, or rather, its mane, caught in her Seomseom Oksoo grabbed all the attention.
So, that animal….
“…heeheeheehee!”
It was a unicorn that had suddenly been delivered directly from the place of origin.
