Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

67 – General Menggun (3)

From noble mtl dot com

It’s late.

Guardian Dragon Han walked through the hallway.

His long tail was wagging around, and he was full of composure as he took steps.

A dark hallway.

All I could see was the faint glow of the magic lights lighting up the darkness of the hallway.

But he was accustomed to walking in the darkness.

The reason was simple. It was because it was not once or twice that I walked through this dormitory building alone.

Because Lucia always went to bed at a relatively early hour, there was nothing to notice as a guardian dragon.

If you just sneak open a window or door and come out, the night walk will begin in earnest.

Thanks to this, Han, the guardian dragon, was able to memorize the entire structure of the dormitory building.

It was because he came and went that often.

He said, ‘When he was in the Grand Duchy’s house, he couldn’t even get around because of the maids, but not here.’

There was no one to stop the guardian dragon, Han.

Now was his only time.

Kuruk. Kururuk.

Somehow, my stomach seems to be bubbling over.

It was because of hunger.

‘Let’s be patient a little longer. I’m almost there.’

Han, holding on to his hungry stomach, finally reached the end of the hallway.

In front of a visit located in the most remote corner.

It was a place where there were relatively few people coming and going.

[…]

Han stared blankly at the front of a door where he felt even gloomy.

Sureuk. Squeak.

How many times have you done that?

The sound of Han scratching the door must have reached the inside, but there was no news from inside.

Han licked his lips.

‘I’m sure it’s there, seeing as I can feel the magic inside. Didn’t you hear?’

In the end, there was only one way out.

He gulped and swallowed for a moment.

Soon after opening his mouth, he let out a shrill voice and started to cry.

[Kiyiyi. Hey.]

It wasn’t long after I cried like that, and soon I felt someone from the inside approaching the door rustling.

Kik-.

The door opened, and a woman with tousled hair jumped out.

She looked at the guardian dragon, Han, and opened her eyes to greet her brightly.

[Oh, you’re here again!]

[Kiii.]

Han blinked his eyes once.

It was a brief glance.

[hehehe. Are you greeting me?]

Perhaps realizing that Han’s appearance was a greeting, she soon sat down and made eye contact with him, then blinked a couple of times for a long time.

Sure.

Han walked past her in her turn and entered her room.

Of course, he didn’t forget to touch her white legs as if he had slipped by them once in a while.

It was a simple act of intimacy on his part.

He looked inside and narrowed his eyes.

‘It’s still here. It’s all trash.’

The whole room was a mess.

The appearance, reminiscent of a garbage dump, clearly revealed how this woman usually lives here.

It was a world apart from Lucia’s room, which occupied the top floor of this building.

It’s clean and tidy, but it also has a nice scent.

The appearance is mild and cute, but the behavior seems not to be the same.

‘Seeing that this woman is also here in the dormitory building, she must be aristocrat. Is our Lucia special?’

As Han looked around her room in silence, the girl who opened the door earlier spoke to her.

[Thank you so much for coming again, are you hungry?]

[Kiyi!]

At that sound, Han cried a little louder.

It was an expression of emotion in its own way.

[Wait a minute! I’ll be back soon!]

Then the girl who had just opened the door for her started to walk around busily.

She took her bowl out of her habit and put some of her food in it.

Sniff sniff.

Han sniffed her nose at the scent of her feed wafting in the wind from afar.

It smells good.

At a cursory glance, it was clear that the feed was of good quality and high quality with great care.

However, there was no way she, as a human, could eat this feed.

In the first place, this was mainly magical creatures and contained improved mana, albeit subtly.

But there was no one else in her room but her.

But why are there alternative feeds?

It was the nature of being indifferent to the things around me, but somehow I was a little concerned about that.

‘If you think about it, when we first met her not too long ago, she kept crying in her room. It might have something to do with it.’

It was then.

[Now. Eat.]

Suddenly, the guardian dragon, Han, looked up at the female student at the food bowl that was put out.

Then she smiles.

[Come on. Are you hungry?]

[Kiii.]

Han nodded her head a couple of times, sent her eye salutation to her as if to express her gratitude, and began to eat her feed.

A lot. Hard.

In the quiet room, only the sound of Han chewing food could be heard.

She muttered to herself as she looked at Han, who was concentrating on filling her stomach.

[By the way, it looks strange. Wings and a long tail. It looks just like the Guardian Dragon I saw in the newspaper a while ago.]

Of course not.

The guardian dragon that appeared in the newspaper article was Han in the first place.

But judging from her reaction, it was clear that she probably didn’t quite imagine him being the Guardian Dragon she was supposed to be.

However, if he really knew that he was a guardian dragon, he wouldn’t have been able to talk to me in such a friendly way.

It must have been the first thing to put your hands together and pray like everyone else.

[By the way, who the hell are you? Seeing him appear in my room every time, he must be living somewhere in this dormitory building.]

In Han’s ears, he heard the voice of a female student talking to her.

But he didn’t care at all and just focused on filling his stomach.

After a while, as I ate like crazy, the bowl quickly came to an end.

Han felt sorry for that appearance and licked his lips.

‘Have you finished eating already? It’s a waste.’

He cleaned the area around his mouth with his long tongue.

Forage. The feed had a very different taste, which was nice.

Raw meat also has its own vivid taste, but this was also a delicacy of its own to him.

The crispy feeling, just like chewing on a cookie, is a masterpiece.

In the future, I hope his contractor, Lucia, will also provide feed like this.

Han, who had slowly filled his stomach, raised his head.

In a dark room with the lights off.

In the middle was the only lighted table.

Tadak. Widely!

Han flapped his wings at once and quickly stood on top of him.

[…?]

There, a picture frame that had not been seen before was erected.

Han went closer.

A frame with a grayish faded photograph.

In the photo, the girl next to him was smiling brightly as she cradled a magical creature in her arms.

[Kiii?]

What was inside was, oddly enough, a creature with a slightly similar aspect to it, as long as it was a guardian dragon.

Han raised his eyes slightly at the photo of the slightly unexpected existence.

‘This is…? It’s a wyvern.’

Wyvern.

A winged flying dragon with a similar dragon skin.

At first glance, it was no illusion that it was a being that looked similar to Han.

Because they were all beings of the same species belonging to the same classification of dragons.

[hahahaha… I look a lot like you, right?]

At that time, she handed her words to Han.

[…]

Her Han looked up at her.

For some reason, she had a slightly more bitter expression than usual.

[Originally, it’s a magical creature I raised. It was a child who was named Kaze… To fly in the sky in good health, but he died of an illness a while ago.]

Is that why the amount of food he ate was almost the same?

It was only then that Han learned the reason.

* * * *

Kik-.

After a while, Han stepped out of the hallway through the open door.

[Now. Go carefully.]

The female student looked at Han as he left the door and waved his hand.

Han looked back at her.

She said her words with her smile.

[If you’re hungry next time, come again. There is still a lot of rice left.]

[Kiyi.]

Han nodded his head in agreement.

He left her a final greeting, and then he started moving down the hallway again.

Han’s next destination has already been decided.

He jumped up and climbed the open window in the hallway. He then went over to the window of the next room.

In the room of a noble cadet.

There were already passengers there.

A flash-.

Looking at the twinkling eyes in the darkness, Han sent a short greeting.

‘Oh, it’s been a while. It’s been a few days.’

[Miyao Ong-.]

Then the guy sent a greeting with his eyes shining at once.

It was a sign of pleasure.

Han stared at himself, expressed his delight, and tapped the crying pet cat a couple of times with his front paw.

Soon after, I stole his rice bowl.

Of course, this stupid cat kept crying at him endlessly even when he saw that the rice in his bowl was getting smaller.

Even he can’t figure out what’s so good.

‘Hmm… By the way.’

Han’s eyes narrowed a little as he was chewing on his feed.

‘This is obviously of poor quality. The food in the room he was in was much tastier.’

But, well, this was delicious as it is.

Han stopped thinking and focused on filling his stomach.
