The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

4 – 004. The boss’s daughter was a mess

My current possession is a sword. end.

If I were a nomadic swordsman, even a sword would be enough, but I’m not such a great person.

One of those weak-willed college students who turn on the game while doing an assignment.

Can I live with just one sword in a fantasy world I’m not familiar with?

There was no way it was possible.

So I had to get my luggage back. At least, you have to take care of the travel expenses that are included in it.

“René, from now on I will follow the carriage that has left this way.”

“yes.”

“But can’t human legs keep up with the speed of a horse?”

“I guess so.”

“So I need a friend who is faster than words. But just in time, there is a half-dragon in front of me?”

“… … yes?”

“What are you looking like you don’t know? Yes, you. you.”

Dragons have dragon wings on their backs.

So, why not ride her and fly away?

“Are you sure you want to ride me?”

“of course. Aren’t your wings decorative?”

“Yeah, but there are reasons why I can’t fly.”

“Did you injure a wing?”

Renee shook her head in denial.

Perhaps deciding that it would be better to show it in person, she spread the wings that were folded behind her back.

Considering that Breeze Sepiron is a silver dragon, Rene’s wings should have been silver as well.

But her wings were so dark that it was embarrassing to look at.

At the tips of the wings, something like ancient Roman letters were engraved.

“The human who kidnapped me put a curse on my wings. From what I’ve heard, it’s said that it’s a curse of decay that causes your cells to rot if you move too much. I can barely fly for about 5 minutes, but more than that… … . ”

“Dispel.”

Parching-!

The letters engraved on the wings shattered with a light echo.

The shattered characters were scattered into the air, so the curse must have been lifted.

“Is this enough?”

As soon as the curse disappeared, Rene’s wings began to return to their original form.

Silver wings shining beautifully in the moonlight.

I was confident that there would be no problem without looking at the condition separately.

“I thought it was a top-notch curse… … .”

“Do you believe that?”

The highest curse is not magic in the realm that humans can use. You have to be at least Witch King or Arch Lich to use it.

Roughly, the slave traders took scrolls of low-level curses rolling around in the underworld and scammed them as the highest-level curse.

That would make the slave more obedient.

“Don’t believe it too soon. Then he gets a serious nose injury.”

“… … yes.”

Anyway, now that the curse issue has been resolved, it’s time to pursue the wagon in earnest.

I stretched out my arms toward Renee.

But she just tilted her head and looked at me. Didn’t do anything.

“What are you doing standing there? Come on, don’t hug me.”

“ah… Hugs?!”

“Then can I hug you?”

“Ah, I get it… !”

Even after hesitating, Renee approaches me with a spleen expression.

He gently squeezed his body between his arms and hugged me tightly.

Then he buried his face in my chest and stayed still.

“What are you doing now?”

“yes? Didn’t you ask for a hug?”

“… … I meant to hug me and fly away.”

“oh! this… this is it! I don’t know what that means… !”

Only then did Renee understand my intentions, and her face turned red.

He stutters as if his brain is overloaded.

It was a fresh reaction, so I wanted to see more, but I couldn’t delay any longer.

“I don’t really care, so take a deep breath first and calm down.”

“Ugh… !”

Renee took a slow, deep breath.

Even in the process of getting her heart together, her ears were ripe as red as if she was still ashamed.

‘What should I do with this pure girl… … .’

Blindly believing a ridiculous story, intuitively accepting an ambiguous meaning, etc.

He was so naive that he was worried about his future.

It might be better to live in a nest for the rest of your life.

In order to do that, we’ll have to get them safely to the nest.

“May I leave?”

“huh.”

Renee, who had finally calmed down, came to me again and hugged me.

I was worried about whether I would be able to lift me properly with my skinny body, but it was over.

Carrying one person like a dragon was a simple task for her.

“I will point you in the direction, so just follow the directions.”

“all right. Then we’re leaving, so hold on tight!”

Silver wings flapping slowly.

I thought it was preparing to fly, but it fluttered vigorously and flew into the sky.

After breaking through the strong winds, they came up to the altitude of sub-zero temperatures in an instant.

“You climbed too high!”

“I’m sorry! I thought that the altitude that my mother and I normally fly would be enough… … .”

Along with dragons, he seemed to know why the dragon race was called the strongest species.

How can you say no when you see him walking around in the sky in a shabby suit?

I decided not to use freezing magic on dragons.

In some games, dragons are said to be weak against ice, but in this world, it seems that even the seeds will not be eaten.

“You said it was high, so I came down a little bit. How is it?”

“More down.”

You can see the full view of the royal capital from which you escaped this morning, but you will be able to see it.

Everything in the world was reduced to the level of an ant, making it difficult to properly identify anything.

At least I should be able to tell the difference.

“About this much?”

“It’s a little better now. Let’s go slowly like this.”

“yes!”

Unless it is urgent, the wagon does not run at night.

Therefore, it was normal to be noticed if you were driving a wagon during this time.

But for some reason, the coachman’s carriage that took my luggage didn’t even look nose-bleeding.

“Let’s go back to where we came from.”

“Are you giving up on the search?”

“It’s not like that, I’m trying to do it differently.”

If the way to find it in the highlands doesn’t work, just follow the trail.

If you follow the ruts of the wagon that started at the camp, you will be able to reach it someday.

After about 10 minutes of tracking, we came to the bottom of the cliff.

“It cut off right in front of me.”

“Um… .”

The ruts along the road leaked into the bush midway through and disappeared under the cliff.

I climbed the cliff just in case, but it was meaningless.

There is only one plausible hypothesis now.

When I stretched out my arm to check the answer, my hand went through the wall and went into it.

“It seems like there is a hidden space inside this.”

“Certainly, I can sense a peculiar aura from beyond the wall… … .”

“I guess you had a sensory system ability?”

“yes. It’s my unique ability that I acquired right after I was born.”

Abilities such as presence, life, and magic detection have always been well received.

In addition to the five senses, it is a natural evaluation that one more sense that obtains new information is created.

Even in her case, a unique ability with superior performance than the existing sensing abilities.

It would be okay to brag about it proudly, but for some reason, Renee bowed her head with a wry smile.

‘Are there any side effects?’

Powerful abilities come at a price.

Out of consideration for her, I decided not to dig deep.

“Thanks anyway! Thanks to you, I quickly found where the wagon was. So you can go back now.”

“yes? Where are you going to go back to?”

“Of course you mean the nest you used to live in.”

“You were trying to take me to the nest… ”

“I was going to do that, but seeing you fly around, it didn’t seem necessary. Wouldn’t it be faster and better to fly alone than to struggle on foot?”

“ah… … .”

Seeing Rene at a loss for words, he wondered if he would go back alone.

“Ouch!”

She suddenly sat down in her place and embraced her wings.

Then, he began to groan close to the sound of music.

“Oh, I moved my wings for the first time in a long time and I got acute muscle pain! aww… !”

“… … .”

“I guess I won’t be able to fly for a while! Wow… ! I-how can I do this?”

What are we going to do?

Do you think you can fool someone while being innocent enough to be fooled by an obvious lie?

Even while looking at Rene sadly, she continued to perform with her whole body.

“I know it’s rude, but if we stay together a little longer… … Can’t we?”

Anyway, it was a long way for the Beam Dragon to return to the nest.

I sent it back to the nest, but it would be okay to take it with me for a while, since it would be difficult if I fell for the demons’ tricks again.

“… … Do as you please.”

“ah! thank you!”

Do you think he had no intention of cheating?

He made a fuss about being sick until just now, but as soon as he gave permission, he smiled brightly.

If that was the case, I wondered if it would have been better to reveal my true feelings from the beginning.

I can’t bring myself to say that in front of her who is so happy.

‘It reminds me of a puppy I had when I was little… … .’

The dog that called me anxiously, making a chirping sound because he didn’t want to be alone.

When I beckoned him to follow me, I remembered how happy he was wagging his tail.

But, of course, it was the same as the current Renee, so I laughed without knowing it.

“Dog… No, would it be more appropriate to call you Yongdaeng?”

“A dragon? What is it?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

“Can you tell me now?”

“no.”

Leaving behind Rene, who had a sad expression on her face, I entered the space behind the wall.

I thought it was just a burden, but I had a little bit of anticipation that the trip with her might be fun.
