Kidnapped Dragons

Chapter 273: Partner (1)

Chapter 273: Partner (1) Several days went by after Team White’s unsightly self-destruction. Just as they had mentioned in the live stream, they withdrew themselves from any type of individual communication.

Their SNS account was removed and all the public schedules that had been planned were cancelled. And as Team Coin’s wicked deeds came to light, the teams that had been slandered by the teams White and Coin began to receive more attention from the public.

Thanks to that, the teams that had been condemned by Team Coin each received a re-evaluation.

But since Team White voluntarily turned themselves in, they weren’t disqualified completely from the newborn superhuman competition and White didn’t fall into an endless pit of debt either.

“That’s not how it is!”

“Then give it to me. I’ll see it for myself.”

Bom shook her head once again.

Yu Jitae contemplated. How would he snatch that unlikeable newspaper from her hands? Since both of her hands were carrying the paper behind her back, the first idea that popped up was tickling her.

However, that wasn’t a good idea because it seemed that Bom was fairly uncomfortable with physical contact in a strange atmosphere.

He didn’t know the exact reason. Perhaps it was a simple reason – although a dragon, she was still young and maybe she was uncomfortable with physical contact that she wasn’t used to.

The thing about romantic feelings and whatnot was his business and not hers. That’s why he had recently been trying to avoid excessive physical contact with Bom.

So tickling won’t do.

Thus, Yu Jitae decided to pinch her cheeks. Her eyes widened from the shock and pain.

“Buuuu…”

Bom frowned because he wasn’t playing around with the pinch.

“Give it to me right now.”

“Uuu… Dun wanna…”

She remained stubborn so he pinched the other side of her cheeks as well.

“Uuu… Buunuu…”

She was still stubborn – he had no idea why.

That was when Bom also pulled one of her hands out and pinched his nose. It had been dozens of years since someone grabbed his nose like that so he had forgotten it, but Yu Jitae belatedly realised that he wasn’t fond of people touching his nose.

Therefore, he pulled his head back. Due to the difference in arm length, Bom’s hand flailed around in mid-air but she soon inserted her fingers into the neck part of his business shirt. She then began pulling the shirt down.

“Oi, oi.”

“Buu…”

“Let go. It’s gonna rip.”

“U let go furstt…”

What am I doing with her right now, he suddenly thought to himself.

That was when he started to hear the soft footsteps of Gyeoul from nearby. If they were too close, the child might misunderstand so he distanced himself from Bom.

Bom rubbed her reddened cheeks while glaring at Yu Jitae when Gyeoul poked her head out from behind the wall. With a fluttering piece of paper in her hand.

“What is that.”

“…Look.”

Yu Jitae received the fissure travel pamphlet that she gave him.

There were travel destinations on it.

*

[Walk across the sky on transparent ground and enjoy a walk! ★ Sky Garden ★]

[Let’s walk under the rainbow-coloured sky. An Impossible sight on Earth!]

[The underground fortress of the past dwarves. Enjoy the town integrated with the essence of magic engineering!]

After the New Era, the tourism industry was met with a whole new epoch.

Sometimes, in stabilised fissures that have been fully conquered, were spectacular natural environments of other dimensions. They had fancy sceneries and unique food, unseen before on Earth.

The pamphlet Gyeoul gave him was on such ‘fissure travels’.

“…How about here?”

Sitting next to him on the sofa, Gyeoul pointed at the corner of the pamphlet with her finger. It seemed like a relatively unpopular travel site.

[Forget the worldly problems and spend your time meditating on the [Tranquil Sea]]

“This one?”

“…Yes.”

It was an interesting coincidence.

This happened to be the new training area that he was going to bring Yeorum to.

This ‘Tranquil Sea’ was a unique fissure. There was an extremely dense water-attributed mana within and the waters were small yet extremely deep.

It was the place that best restricted Yeorum’s mana attribute and was therefore a place that would allow her to train as exhaustingly as possible. It was by pure coincidence that Gyeoul wanted to go play there.

“Alright. Let’s go this weekend.”

“…!”

“How about for a week. I’ll talk to your school about it.”

…For a whole week?

Gyeoul nodded with a bright smile before turning towards Bom.

“…Go together?”

Bom, who was still rubbing her cheeks with a resenting look on her face, widened her eyes into circles and gave her the unique expression that she only showed to Gyeoul.

“Me?”

“…Nn. From this weekend. Do you have time?”

“Ah, this weekend will be a bit hard. Unni has to teach Kaeul magic.”

I see. Gyeoul nodded.

She was now old enough to not show it on the outside, but Gyeoul liked hearing that even more, because it was extremely rare for her to go somewhere alone with Yu Jitae and play.

“…What a shame.”

Bom gave a mysterious smile and looked into her eyes.

“You don’t look like you think it’s a shame though?”

“…Not true.”

“Then should we go together?”

“…N, n? Nn.”

Bom saw through her hesitation and giggled under her breath.

“Just joking. Look at you being so surprised.”

Gyeoul walked up and wrapped her short arms around Bom, and buried her head into her stomach.

“…It’s a shame. Reallyy.”

Bom caressed her blue hair.

Even then, Gyeoul was thinking about the fish tank in her room. Although there were a few fish, seaweed, shells and conches, the tank was so big that it still appeared very empty. There seemed to be a lot of fish inside the Tranquil Sea so they would probably do some fishing when they get there.

Yu Jitae was very good at fishing and he had gotten her a lot of fish last time as well. She would quietly chat with him while fishing, boil a seafood stew and play with water. If there were pretty corals or stones, what about picking them up and selling them at school? Maybe it would net her quite the money…?

But the following words that left Yu Jitae’s mouth shattered her fantasy.

“Then let’s go as a 3 including Yeorum.”

Drop.

The pamphlet dropped from her hands.
