Chapter 190  

“D-Dragon!”

Vincent exclaimed in astonishment.

Why did a dragon, a divine creature, suddenly appear here?

“I thought it was only in human imagination!”

Vincent, who had just broken down, stuttered. Aria too, replied in a half-bewitched voice.

“I thought so too.”

She thought as she cradled the newborn baby dragon in her arms.

‘As expected, the dragon did protect God.’

So, is this baby the child of the ‘ancient dragon’ in the song? It may have been that God had been holding onto it after losing all the feelings, and then it hatched belatedly.

“Mya mya!”

The dragon cried again, placing its paw on Aria’s cheek.

‘Cute…….’

Short, plump limbs, big, round starry eyes and drooping ears. Even the wagging tail like a dog and dainty wings!

It was really, really lovely.

‘Is this what love at first sight is like?’

When she was saved by Lloyd, she thought it was love at first sight.

In a different sense, Aria fell in love again.

“Mya!”

Then, the baby dragon put its mouth on Aria’s cheek and started sucking.

“Are you hungry?”

What do dragons eat? Since it’s a reptile, so bugs? Lloyd answered when she asked in a puzzled voice.

“I’ve never had a kid like this.”

However, upon hearing Lloyd’s voice, the dragon’s expression suddenly turned ferocious. It even made a low growl.

“Gasp, the baby can get mad.”

Aria was startled.

Besides, do dragons count as animals? Or is it because it was still young?

She felt like she could somehow understand what the baby dragon meant.

“Kyaaak!”

“It means go away?”

“Even I can understand that.”

As Lloyd narrowed the space between his eyes and answered bluntly.

“Where did this come from?”

The people who had gathered because of the suddenly hatched dragon also expressed curiosity and interest.

First, Tristan pressed down on the dragon’s head, and the dragon grabbed Tristan’s hand and bit him.

“Take your hands off?”

“Hmm.”

He said after contemplating, stroking his chin, not caring that his hand just got chewed.

“Something is bothering me.”

Vincent, who had been walking around with a flushed face from earlier, intervened.

“I, I want too!”

He brought his face closer to examine the dragon.

Then, unlike when dealing with Lloyd and Tristan, where it was openly wary of them, the dragon let out a sigh as if Vincent was annoying.

“Ack!”

The problem was that the baby dragon’s sigh was mixed with flames.

Vincent struggled for a long time as his bangs caught on fire, and managed to put out the fire using water from a flower pot.“It’s a pretty mean fellow.”

Sabina approached with a voice mingled with laughter and tapped the dragon’s horn. Then the dragon sniffed with a cold expression, but did not reject her touch.

“Mya.”

“It smells like that guy, but it doesn’t hate it.”

“That guy?”

“I don’t know the details.”

Aria couldn’t read animal thoughts very accurately. She only infers from roughly felt emotions, situations, and expressions.

Of course it has quite an accuracy.

“Perhaps it dislikes Father and Lloyd because you two smell strong? It also seems vague about Vincent…”

Smell?

Vincent, who was wiping his water-drenched face, looked annoyed at the few twisted strands of his hair.

“The only thing I can infer is that it is about Valentine’s blood. You two are blood relatives, and I am not.”

It was a pretty plausible guess.

Aria and Sabina always hang out with Lloyd and Tristan, so it seems that the smell permeated them a bit.

“Why does it hate Valentine?”

“Mya!”

“It says they’re an enemy…”

It seems like the dragon really hates it.

To be imprinted as an enemy on a creature that was just born. Aria broke out in a cold sweat and lifted her head to look up at Lloyd.

He let out a low breath and muttered self-deprecatingly.

“It protected God. It seems like it inherited its mother’s feelings.”

The dragon was God’s guardian, and Valentine was carrying on God’s malice from generation to generation after sinning against God.

Exactly what the crime was, though nothing was known.

‘And the person itself doesn’t seem to know either.’

Does this baby dragon know?

The event of the day…….

“Mya mya!”

Aria, who was silent for a moment, decided to bring the dragon something to eat.

“Huweenngg!”

The baby dragon burst into tears as it overturned the plate of insects.

“Kyaaak!”

Seeing the worm wriggling on the floor, Marronnier backed away in surprise.

“Wo, wo, worm! Help me!”

“Calm down. They are just wriggling.”

“I hate it!”

“Puuehh!”

As Aria was comforting Marronnier, Baker held a bottle in his hand.

“It’s goat’s milk.”

“Milk is what mammals eat.”

“You never know.”

She was dubious and brought the bottle to the dragon’s mouth. Then, like the dragon had waited, the tears stopped and it started sucking on the bottle.

“It drinks milk.”

Maybe they got narrow-minded, seeing only the reptilian exterior of the dragon? As Aria reflected, she wiped the tears from the dragon’s eyes.

Then the dragon rubbed its cheek against her hand and made a childish ‘myuaa’ sound.“Ahh, that’s insanely cute.”

Some of the employees even grabbed their hearts for how cute the dragon is.

Like Aria, it was love at first sight too. Even though the dragon didn’t even pay attention to them.

“I can’t believe you have to raise a child at a time like this.”

Vincent shook his head as he watched Aria.

He was running around all day and night collecting evidence that Garcia was the cause of the current disaster.

He, of course, asked the Angelo family for cooperation.

As proof, Winter was right in front of Vincent, and he was looking at the data with a serious expression.

No, he should be there…….

“Big Brother!”

Winter suddenly shouted in a clear voice.

At the same time, a vein popped out in Vincent’s forehead.

“Who is the older brother, who!”

“Big Brootherrr, there are bugs crawling on the books …”

“Isn’t that the text you were reading a moment ago!”

Aackk! He screamed, clutching his head.

“When did you have infantile regression again! Weren’t you all healed?!”

The symptoms were getting less and less and he seemed to be fine for a while, so Vincent was caught off guard.

Winter was still suffering from the drug’s side effects.

“I’m in a hurry right now… Wait, since you’re a genius, weren’t you a genius too when you were young? They say that even if you regress as an infant, you have to be an extraordinary genius. Just like me!”

As Vincent was arguing with Winter on why he was a genius.

Cloud came close to them.

Because of the sudden natural disaster, he was on his way back after taking care of various things as the commander of the Black Falcon Knights.

“I’m late to tell you about something sudden. Could you give me a minute?”

“What is it? Please briefly tell me the main points.”

Vincent flipped through the papers quickly and replied in a dry voice.

Then, as requested, Cloud simply spat out the main points.

“I will follow you for the rest of my life.”

“What? It’s burdensome.”

Vincent was disgusted and responded immediately.

“Why did Sir follow so many people? Stay by Sister-in-law’s side.”

“The escort position was taken away before. Besides, being Young Madam’s escort was also a temporary job.”

“Originally, you were Brother’s escort, weren’t you?”action

“He says he doesn’t need it.”

“I don’t need either.”

“You need it.”

Hearing the last word, Vincent felt embarrassed and opened his mouth.

Is Cloud going this far just because Vincent saved him from almost getting hit in the head by hailstones? Cloud was so stone-headed that Vincent doesn’t think he would have died even if he was hit by hailstones. He thought Cloud would be more of an idiot, so he stopped it.

“Do I care?”

“Please let me follow you.”

“I can’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Vincent murmured lowly.

“Can’t you see it’s chaotic right now?”

Strangely, Vincent tended to get particularly emotional in front of Cloud.

“Then I will stand by your side until you allow it.”

As Cloud brazenly insisted and Vincent tried to open his mouth just before the explosion burst.

“’Sword that Cuts Through Flames’ is arson.”

A clear voice, typical of a child, intervened.

“Roar of Hell’ is massacre, ‘Death’s Oath’ is human sacrifice, ‘Hell Seeker’ is a monster, ‘Infiltration of the Mist’ is a natural disaster, and ‘Those Who Breaks Through the Silence’ is an epidemic.”

“……What?”

“I found these items.”

Winter smiled broadly as he connected the map spread out on his desk with a line to all the recent disasters.
