Chapter.38 You are not there

“Time is up! Let go of the fishing rod, dragon. Hehehe.”

I approached her. And started counting fish.

“Let’s see, one two three four five six seven! I am one two three four five six seven eight! Nine ten! “Hehe, it’s my victory?”

When I announced victory, Lulin jumped up, leaving his fishing rod on the ground.

Of course they will disobey and cause an uproar, right?

I noticed something that stung a little. Are you going to take it off? Are you going to ask us to do it again? While I was thinking of a number of possible scenarios and planning a countermeasure, the guy turned around and started walking towards the rare.

“I’m going back.”

And the words spoken are very cool.

The remaining space was filled with caught fish and fishing rods.

That guy admits defeat so easily?

Counting cases and preparedness measures were all useless. Rather, it is vain.

Well, of course this is better there.

Anyway, I won because I won, so there was no need to leave. I took the fish I had caught with the intention of grilling it and eating it, and followed Lurin.

Even in Rare, Lurin doesn’t say much.

Seeing as he didn’t ask them to leave, it was clear that he had admitted defeat, so after preparing dinner, we had a fish party.

So night came.

Nighttime means it’s time to sleep, and that means it’s time to apply the winning conditions obtained from winning the bet.

Rurin is still curled up in her nest, far away from me, trying to sleep.

That’s not possible.

Even if it hurts, victory is victory. You have to get what you get.

“Lurin, you didn’t forget that you lost the bet, right?”

Even if you look from afar, you can see the arrogant frowning face at a glance. But it’s no use.

Victory is victory. Under the noble mission of reducing the distance, I shouted loudly.

“Do you want to come this way? Or should I go?”

Of course there is no answer.

I didn’t even expect an answer. The answer is even stranger. So it’s ultimately the latter.

There is no way the dragon would come to a corner like this, so I will move it.

I walked with my backpack to the center of the lair where Rurin’s nest was. Then, he started unpacking his luggage about 5 meters away from where Lurin usually lays down.

I guess the distance has become much closer than the original 100m away.

I could feel the dragon’s eyes watching me as I carried my luggage.

“why? What’s wrong? “I won?”

When I confidently appealed, he quickly turned his head and left a comment.

“Annoying.”

Then he curls up and closes his eyes.

In any case, there is no one telling you to go back to the corner. In other words, he seemed to accept the outcome of the bet.

My face was almost like a Hahoe mask, distorted and didn’t seem to straighten up.

***

Open your closed eyes.

It’s not refreshing. Actually, I’m not that used to sleeping in a rare room yet.

Even though a considerable amount of time has already passed since I sat here.

Should we bring in a bed?

My body feels very heavy. Especially the stomach.

It’s not like I particularly overdid the abdominal exercises.

Is it because of how I feel while sleeping?

I rolled my eyes at the strangely different state of my body than usual and only moved my head to understand the situation.

There was nothing wrong with my body.

The identity of the dullness was the feeling of weight. As I looked towards the ship, I was astonished at the sight that came into view.

5m is still not an extremely close distance. It was a distance that could not be called co-sleeping.

I definitely slept with that much distance between me. I didn’t move when I saw my backpack right next to me.

That’s for sure.

The thing that moved was the dragon.

The humanoid dragon ‘Short’ started sleeping 5 meters away, and before I knew it, he was sleeping peacefully with his head on my stomach as a pillow.

Her long hair was flowing all over my body, and her expression looked very comfortable.

“Hey dragon?”

There is no answer.

This is natural since it is a dragon that never wakes up all at once.

“Hey dragon!”

“Lurin!”

“Rurinrurinrurin!”

“Kaaaaaa! “You’re noisy, you pillow!”

I kept calling him and he started struggling, shouting “Kaaaaaaaa!” Then he laid his face sideways and fell asleep again.

I can’t even open my eyes.

Isn’t this too harsh?

I had no choice but to get up. Lurin’s body slowly moves down towards my legs.

“What. Stay still! be impertinent! “On the topic of hard pillows!”

I can’t believe I’m being arrogant when I move my body.

Rurin stood up, shaking her head off the ground, then trudged over again and lay down where she had originally been sleeping.

It’s unusual for you to sleep on my stomach.

Since when?

There was no sign of it until I fell asleep. Well, that’s a good thing. But what a hard pillow.

I felt my stomach.

It’s hard.

If hard means abdominal muscles, isn’t that better than loose belly fat?

***

“Now, wrap it like this and eat it like this.”

“like this?”

“Oh, like that.”

I am recreating lettuce wrap using herbs I found nearby. What is being grilled on a stone plate is none other than wild Uvago, which is most common near the lakeside.

“No, no, do you put that much meat in it?”

“This is delicious.”

Lulin piled the herbs and meat one by one.

A piece of meat. Two pieces of meat. Put three pieces of meat on the floor.

Pile the meat on top of it.

It’s a meat tower.

Lulin’s eyes as he builds the meat tower are very serious. It is comparable to the seriousness of a commander with tens of thousands of troops in front of him.

is not it?

Rather than that, what about the level of concentration shown when building a tower with matches?

Build the tower carefully.

Then, I touched it wrongly and the tower collapsed.

“Kwaaaak!”

Then, after accidentally yelling at me and eating all the towers I worked so hard on, they start building the tower again.

Is there any meaning to building a tower?

I think it’s better to just eat it. If you really want to eat it with lettuce wrap, I have nothing to say.

Besides, does that fit in one mouth?

The rebuilt pagoda is a whopping 10-story Gogi Buddha Pagoda. I asked with curiosity.

“Can you eat that?”

“It’s no big deal.”

Lulin spread out his chest and nodded.

Of course, it is no longer meat ssam. It’s just a meat tower placed on herb leaves.

This herb has little bitterness and has a texture similar to lettuce. But only when the ratio is like that does it matter what the texture is.

Lulin put the meat top in one mouth.

Wagu wagu wagu.

And chew. It’s amazing just to see that thing fit into that small mouth, but my mouth becomes empty in an instant as if there’s some kind of high-speed shredder in my throat.

“it’s good.”

In the meantime, Lulin has been able to use the word delicious appropriately.

“If you can digest it, I won’t criticize you for eating it in a pile, but you should still try a proper ssam. Try this. “This is a proper ssam.”

I wrapped an ordinary ssam and handed it over to Lurin, who was trying to rebuild the meat tower.

Rurin shakes her head and says.

“It’s poor.”

“Try it and judge for yourself.”

Rurin stares at the wrap I gave her, and eventually opens her hand to receive the wrap. And immediately gulp.

Yum Yum.

Chew a few times and swallow.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

And explosion.

Of course, I digress. Hehehe.

I grilled the meat again without any hesitation.

“Nenooooom! What did you put in? spicy! spicy!”

No comment. No comment.

“No way? “I’m fine.”

“die. “You bastards die!”

“If you’re going to die, then who cooks this kind of meat for you? “Now eat.”

“Huh?”

While angry, he eats the cooked meat. Since we are grilling various parts of Uva, there is no time to rest. The guy was immersed in meat, almost to the level of a meat addict.

“Oh, this is not it. So you! How dare you do something like that… “You’re feeding me!”

“Now this… “This is a delicious part.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, it’s chewy.”

Rurin chews the meat frantically again. After I finished eating, I started to wonder if I had any more thoughts.

“right. You! “That spicy thing from earlier!”

“Come on, there’s a lot of meat.”

“I see. Yum Yum! it’s good.”

In the end, the spicy ssam attack that had been unleashed a moment ago was slowly forgotten in Lurin’s brain.

***

After eating the meat, I lay down on the lair and looked at the ceiling.

It’s already been a month since I’ve been living at Rare,

and there hasn’t been any significant change in my relationship. One thing I didn’t mention to Lurin is that the bet’s expiration date was clearly one month, but he hasn’t returned to his dragon form.

And the distance between sleeping and daily life has not returned to the 100m distance it used to be.

Our distance is still 5m even after a month has passed, which is the period of time for the bet.

And when you sleep, the distance becomes zero.

From that day on, he was still using my stomach as a pillow.

“Why are you using my stomach as a pillow?”

“Because it’s softer than the ground. Sleeping as a human is quite uncomfortable. If I were my original self, there would be no such thing. “It’s all because of you, so you’re a pillow!”

If you ask, you will get this answer.

Because of that, my life as a pillow was solidified.

“Whoa, I’m full.”

I ate less than the guy who ate a tower of meat, but I still overate.

Lulin’s human form is just a tiny thing compared to when he was a dragon, but it’s surprising why he eats so much.

Is the stomach that of a dragon?

Knock.

“huh?”

As I was rolling around like that, water drops fell from the ceiling. It was muddy water full of dirt.

Knock.

smart.

At first it was just a drop. The number is gradually increasing.

It falls on the cheek, the back of the hand, and the top of the head.

Rurin, too, was lying down with a face full of satiety, probably hit by the water droplets, then got up and looked at the ceiling.

Knock-!

Muddy water fell on Lulin’s forehead.

“Hughya! cold.”

With a surprised look in his eyes, he wipes his forehead and looks at the ceiling again. Water falling from the ceiling. Then there is only one conclusion.

“this… “Is there a water leak?”

Water continues to leak from a certain area of the ceiling and drips to the floor.

Lurin looked at the ceiling and then at me with a puzzled expression.

If water is leaking, it means that the rare ceiling is faulty.

Directly above Lair is the summit of the mountain. This rare is made by leaving the top of the mountain and carving the bottom.

That means you have no choice but to go up and take a look. I spoke to the dragon.

“Let’s go upstairs first.”

“If you go up, can you find out why it’s like this?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

When I nodded and went out to the entrance of the lair, heavy rain was falling.

Shoot!

It’s not surprising because leaking water means it’s raining.

Otherwise, no matter how broken the ceiling is, water will not fall.

The amount of rain is significant. Lurin followed behind, moving into the rain with a face full of worry.

The first thing the rain does is wet Rurin’s head. I followed Lulin.

The cold rain soaks your clothes in an instant. I reached the top of the mountain feeling like I was taking a shower.

Lurin was dazed and didn’t know what to do while being hit by the rain. His usual appearance is nowhere to be found.
