Chapter 37
Chrys, who was still thinking about something else, panicked and spat out the drink Axen handed her. On the other hand, Naskan and Sol’s shoulders flinched once, and they took away the tent that Axen had spread out.
“Give it to me.”
“Give it here.”
Naskan bared his sharp teeth at Sol.
“I don’t know why you are interfering.”
“…Chryselua asked me to safely guide her to the spirit realm.”
“Then let me guide her. This kind of meddling is presumptuous.”
“Meddling? What you are doing is meddling.”
They quarreled and grabbed each other by the collar again. Chrys stood up, as she couldn’t let this go even more.
“Don’t procrastinate here, let’s just go to the spirit realm quickly. It just seems like a waste of time.”
Besides, looking at them like that, there was nothing good about prolonging the traveling time.
“N, no. Chrys. Sit down and rest.”
They barely shut their mouths, and while glaring at each other, they began to do what they were told to do.
Chrys just looked at them and sighed heavily.
The reasons why these men were here on their way to the spirit realm were to follow her.
For Sol Noctis, this was because he was one of the few fairies who could accompany her to the spirit realm. He has the ability to do that, and it was not that they were good friends, but it was not that they were not close.
For Naskandeolux. Chryserua, the Twilight Dragon, needed to take rests periodically, so her best friend, Nakan, had decided to take responsibility for it. This was what he had been originally doing. Especially this time, with her pregnancy, her physical condition was not good, so he must follow her unconditionally.
For Axen Arc. He just followed her.
The visitors to the spirit realm are Twilight, Dawn, fairies, and a devilkin. It was an amazing combination. There was no way these men would ever get along.
Chrys stayed dazed and took a bite of the bread Axen Arc had handed her.
“It’s good…”
“Chrys. I made it myself.”
“I see…”
Although it was obvious what Axen wanted to appeal to right now, she deliberately looked into the distance.
The other party asked for an explanation about Axen, but she had no excuse to defend himself. She couldn’t say that she was taking him just in case since the magic that Axen gave her was effective or because he might be one of the fathers.
Chrys pondered for a moment, then pulled out a paper and slipped a pen over it.
A while later, when the men returned, she held out the scribble to them. Since she was going with them, she felt the need to properly explain the purpose of her visit.
“Look at this.”
A rough tree fruit was drawn on the fluttering paper. She should have checked what it was as soon as she received it from the Lord, but this was the only clue left.
“What the hell is this strange thing?”
“Chrys, this is…”
“What kind of picture is this…”
It was like they were seeing it for the first time. Chrys scratched the back of her head.
“I just drew… a fruit. Can’t you see it?”
“Oh, fruit! Alright.”
“It is a masterpiece. It should be sent to the auction house right away.”
“…I, I think you have a talent.”
Even though she was offended, Chrys just glanced at them.
“Anyway, I’m looking for this.”
Seeing Naskan and Sol quietly nodding their heads at her words, she opened her mouth to those who demanded an explanation with their eyes.
“That’s why I’m going to the spirit realm this time. In fact, there is a mission that the Lord has entrusted to me, and I need it to accomplish it.”
“Is it because of a mission?”
“Yes.”
The men stared at the picture and went silent. After a while, they stared at each other rather than at the picture. As Chrys tried to follow that gaze, they hurriedly turned their heads away and pretended not to.
“Yes. I know what Chrys is looking for.”
After a while, Axen, who knew her situation best here, nodded as if he wanted to match them.
“Oh, yes. I got it right. Dawn.”
Sol was silent, and Nasuan showed a very serious attitude with a faint frown.
“As expected, this selection is normal…”
When she met Naskan’s eyes, who muttered quietly to himself, he smiled coolly. Chrys glanced at him suspiciously.
‘I think he’s misunderstanding something again.’
Selection.
When a female dragon conceives, they select a partner to share this honor with. Judging from the fact that Naskan said that she was confident that he would be chosen the other day, it seemed that he had mistaken it for that.
‘Though Naskan is the kind of person who’s going to win on his own, even without a selection.’
While she never thought she would do a selection, her case should have to be viewed a little differently than a normal selection.
When the dragon started their selection, those who wanted to take part in it would appeal on how good they were at housekeeping, how likable they were, how obsessive they were in love, or how well they would take care of children. Anyway, there was no difference between dragons in terms of ability, so the selection leaned toward that.
However, Chryselua was different. The twilight dragon fell far below normal dragons. That was why they seemed to be thinking of something that could protect her or help her with their mission.
To be honest, she didn’t like it very much.
‘Still, I’m not trying to do the selection now.’
Despite the fact that she was tired of them trying to show off, she didn’t make it obvious. However, Chrys had been thinking a lot when it came to the future, where someone would protect her.
If the Lord stepped down and Naskan became the successor, then Twilight, who has a weak body, would be protected by Naskan. Regardless of whether or not she hated it, she had lived her life knowing it for granted.
‘Whoo… It’s complicated.’
The light was already setting over the mountains.
Chrys took a sip of the tea she got from Axen. Even though she did this and that, thanks to this, her body warmed up.
“However… it’s been a long time since I’ve been out here.”
Everyone silently looked at the same place as Chrys as they agreed.
It’d been quite some time since she recklessly got away from Lord’s overprotectiveness and came to Sedition. She thought she had lived a satisfactory life, but it seemed that she had grown tired mentally and physically without realizing it.
In the old days, when she took Sol Noctis’ hand tightly and ran around the mountain. Naskan used to follow her.
“I remember the old days. In the past, we used to run around and play. Naskan used to catch fish.”
“Oh, right! It was. Chrys, I can still catch fish or something if you tell me.”
“I think… I remember.”
Chrys glanced to the side, and Sol Noctis looked this way and then jerked his head away.
‘It probably wasn’t a very good memory for this guy either.’
Just then, Axen Arc suddenly intervened.
“I remember too. Chrys.”
“Hey. You are not in a position to butt in.”
Well, if this guy were a guy who knew where to sit and where not to sit, he wouldn’t have come along.
Still, he seemed to be able to sit side by side like this.
It was the same with the devilkin, Axen Arc. Being able to be here also meant that the war with the devilkin was over a long time ago.
A gentle wind swept the hill once. The early autumn wind was pleasantly cool, far from being chilly. Although she was pushed by circumstances to be together this way, sometimes she thought it was okay.
And as for the baby…
‘I don’t know if it’ll really be born.’
It was a question she didn’t want to think deeply about yet.
At first glance, the road to the spirit realm looks like a meadow. It looked like a mountain, and sometimes it looked like a dense forest. This was because there are several layers of protective barriers in the spirit realm centered on the lord’s parent tree.
Without finding a suitable guide, the unauthorized visitor would wander the maze-like periphery only to be devoured by the wild plants of the spirit realm.
Chryselua had hoped that Sol Noctis would only guide them to places where moderately rare plants grew, but unexpectedly, Sol Noctis led the group further inward. Among the fairies, only those close to the parent tree were able to do this.
It was an unbelievably great development for him, who was a dry branch when he was young.
