Chapter 126 – 126. Dragon Nanny

‘Is it because of my luck… 666’s luck… I’m afraid…’

I stared at the hatchling in the cage squawking and shouting at me, then met Yewon’s eyes.

Perhaps because I was making a serious expression, Yewon’s eyes were slightly shaking as she looked at me.

He seemed anxious, wondering if he had done something wrong. I thought I would be happy, but it seemed like it was because the reaction was so cool.

“Oh, brother… Is something… Wrong…?”

In the end, she didn’t look very happy with me, so she asked, weeping slightly. This is what I’m sorry about

Yewon must have worked hard to hatch her eggs to make me happy.. I made her feel uneasy with her useless worries. Her soft-hearted Yewon got hurt because of me.

‘I hatched a dragon… I shouldn’t have such a lukewarm reaction… Yes, fuck it. What does Zeke have to do with it now? It’s not like I don’t meet people often anyway. Yewon is more important.’

I immediately let go of her frozen expression and gave her a wide smile to reassure her. And I explained why my reaction was strange with a little bit of a lie.

“No! I liked it so much that I didn’t know how to react. Wow! This is a baby dragon!! Amazing, Great!! Great job, Yewon!! There will be no woman anywhere in the world who prepares her dragon as a gift for her husband. You are my treasure! Come on! I’ll hug you!! Good job!!”

I quickly hugged Yewon and turned around. She gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead, and only then did Yewon smile and say that she was glad.

Yewon has been with me and thanks to the fact that I cared for her so much, she has brightened considerably, but she is still a timid woman. So she has to express her love like this from time to time and give her a pretty look. If your self-esteem is too low, you may experience a relapse of depression.

‘Yewon is having a hard time, so she picked her dragon at best… But she can’t disappoint Yewon just because I’m worrying about it unnecessarily… As long as the dragon catcher Zeke doesn’t find out about raising a dragon.’

There was no way to meet Siegfried anyway. The guardian he gave me was used to kill Kotoribako. Of course, there’s a very high chance that he’ll come find me, but in that case, you just need to hide the hatchling. I’m sure he’s not a lunatic who finds dragons by smell…

‘No.. Zeke, that person… Is crazy.. I’m sure he’ll notice..’

If my opponent is that dragon hunter Siegfried, he will surely notice that I am breeding dragons. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a way to hide it when he came looking for me.

‘No. I said I’m going to raise it.. What should I do? And Zeke won’t be a crazy guy who kills dragons for nothing. Maybe we can solve it through conversation…’

After talking to him a few times, I knew that he wasn’t a dragon-hunting madman. Just because he’s a dragon, he won’t just catch and kill him.

And Ye-Won, who became the porridge or the food, seems to have already attached some affection to this hatchling, but if Zeke comes and says he will kill him… Then he has no choice but to confront Zeke. I have the courage to fight without fear, even if I touch something that has entered my fence.

‘And since Zeke is bored, it feels like he goes hunting for dragons with end content. Are you okay. I shouldn’t be scared.’

I continued to stroke Yewon’s head and praise her. I was a bit concerned about the dragon slayer, but anyway, having a dragon in our hands is a big deal. If you don’t get caught and raise it well, this little procrastination will definitely become a great power in the future.

“By the way, Yewon. Did you tell the other kids about this?”

“Everyone who waited at the mart knows it.”

“I see. Again, you did a really good job. Let’s raise them well and evolve them into adults.”

“Yes! Hehe..”

Afterwards I asked a few questions about hatchlings. This hatchling seemed to regard Yewon as her parent, so she said that she was growing while eating her mana. She is said to have grown big enough to procrastinate within one day of being born, so it seems that in a few weeks she will have limbs and wings.

But the problem is the amount of mana consumed by this guy’s food. She said Yewon said she would be unable to handle it alone after a week or so, she said. Because it’s a dragon, it eats a lot. I am overflowing with mana, so when Yewon is having a hard time handling it, I will take over and feed her mana.

“Then I will feed you then.”

“Good.. Co-parenting.. Hehe..”

Yewon said that she was raising children together, and she smiled happily. She seemed quite happy at the thought of me and her growing up together. As a reaction to her growing up without receiving her love in her childhood, she wanted to have a baby soon… Hatchling seems to relieve her childrearing needs to some extent.

“Brother..Now this child…Because it is my child..Please give me a name.”

“Name? I? If you don’t build it, can I build it?”

“Yes.. My brother gives me a name for this child. I like that.”

“Is that so?”

In particular, Yewon considers it very important to give her name to her pet. Giving her a name made her more attached, she explained. Moreover, she greatly preferred that I give her own pet a name. She seemed to feel that her father was naming her children.

That’s why she said that even if it’s a really rough build like this, she would really like me to build it.

‘By the way, it’s the dragon’s name…’

The name Yong-yong comes to mind right away, but I stopped for a moment because I thought it wouldn’t work if I named it roughly like that.

‘Still, the name is Yong.. The name Yong-yong looks a bit too much like a dick..’

Originally, dragons had to have plausible names. It’s a catchy name.

When she introduces herself somewhere, she roars, saying, “I am Yongyong!” It’s clear that everyone will see you as an asshole.

So I pondered. If he wasn’t the one I was going to raise, or if he was just a normal pet, I wouldn’t have cared about how he was called… I guess I got a little excited because I was so excited about the fact that he would become a dragon when he grows up.

Moreover, since he will share the joys and sorrows with me in the future, I become more cautious.

‘But it seems like it would be difficult for us to call it a name that is too grandiose…’

Soon, several names of mythical dragons flashed through my mind. For example, it was the name of some popular and evil dragons, such as ‘Nidhog’ or ‘Fafnir’.

‘No.. These somehow.. Seem real.. And too old-fashioned.’

At first, I tried to name it as one of the names of dragons in mythology, but it seemed that it would appear in a future event. Then the names overlap each other.

And because the names were used so many times, they seemed rare.

‘With a new feeling…’

At that moment, several games featuring dragons came to mind, and the names ‘Alduin’ and ‘Dovakin’ passed by. They are characters from the RPG game I’ve played the longest. Each is the name of an evil dragon and the hero who slays it.

‘Okay, let’s name it with the name from the game… Hmm.. Passernax..? No.. The nax part overlaps with the carshinax, so it’s fucking ominous.

By the time he was seriously thinking about the dragon’s name, his worries about Zeke had already disappeared. I was just imagining flying around on a dragon that would have grown so big one day.

Dragon rider.. This is the romance of men. Riding a fucking giant machine or riding a fucking big, cool dragon is something that makes even the oldest man thrill.

But it’s a dragon rider… It seemed that there was a player with a related job somewhere in the world… To be honest, I thought I was a little envious.

‘If you can’t become a dragon rider… Kill all dragon riders…’

With that thought in mind, I finally decided on a name for Yongyong.

‘Helgen… Yes. It’s Helgen. It’s a place that always burns down, but… Anyway, it feels good to use it as a dragon’s name, and since it’s only two letters, it looks good to memorize.’

Helgen is the name of a village in the game that has a deep meaning to me. It’s the name of the tutorial town where all the stories start, and the place where the legend of the main character begins. I felt a sense of intimacy with the word Helgen, probably because it was a place I had seen many times because I had played multiple times.

“.. Okay. This guy’s name is Helgen.”

“Helgen..? A naming sense that is not like an older brother.. I thought you would just name it Yongyong.. But today something is different.. But does that word mean something?”

“Hmm… Meaning… Well. Isn’t it cool and okay?”

“It’s not bad… And I think it’s much cooler than Yongyong!”

“Huh. Good. Yong-ah. Now your name is Helgen. Live strong on the rooftop.”

I tried to stroke the red hatchling’s head with my index finger, but he bit off his finger when I tried to touch it.

‘Manma must feel closeness to me.

Helgen bit off my index finger and dangling dangling.

The teeth weren’t that sharp yet, so there was no pain or pain. However, it was worth acknowledging that I did not know whether it was recklessness or ambition that was fighting against me, whose size difference was enormous.

Even though he’s a baby, he’s reckless because he’s a dragon.

“He’s a guy with a lot to look forward to.”

“That’s right. It’s so cute.. Hehe.. Helgen.. Don’t bite Dad. You have to come down.”

As Yewon stroked him affectionately, Helgen huffed and went back into the plastic cage. I understand Yewon’s words perfectly.

‘Yewon… I wish…’

After that, I hugged Yewon on the roof and talked some more. Mainly Yewon was talking and I was listening. Yewon seemed to have a lot to say, and she whispered to me in earnest.

Because she was so cute, I eagerly responded to her words and nodded her head.

“Oh right. Brother. I hatched Helgen and an achievement was achieved.”

“Okay? Let’s see.”

“Yes.. Here..”

When Yewon opened her notification window, I could see her accomplishments in my eyes.

[Slave Kim Ye-won’s Achievement Accomplished! ‘The Dragon’s Nanny’]
[Select an achievement reward.]

I decided to choose the reward right away. The dragon’s babysitter… I’m so excited to see what kind of reward will come out.

[Choose a reward.]

[One. Proof of guardian]
[2. Ragal’s Seal]
[3. Dragon King’s Amulet]

[Guardian’s Mark: When selecting a reward, a pattern is imprinted on a random part of the body. You become immune to breath. You may not die even in the dragon’s foolishness.]

[Ragal’s Seal: A seal engraved with the meaning of transformation. If you put blood on the seal and put it on the back of your right hand, you can polymorph for a while.]

[The Dragon King’s Talisman: A necklace made from the fangs of the golden dragon Ragal. When worn, the favorability of all dragon species increases, and most dragons protect the wearer.]

“Oh oh..”

All of the rewards were things that a dragon sitter would have to get.

‘The guardian’s mark… If there is a chance to fight a dragon in the future.

If there is one regrettable thing, it is true that this is a reward that neither I nor other women in close combat classes can borrow and use. Since the mark was engraved on the body the moment the reward was received, it was a reward that could only be used by Yewon who would receive the reward.

“Hmm…”

Putting aside the proof that only Yewon can use, I want to choose between Ragal’s seal that temporarily transforms into a dragon or the Dragon King’s Amulet that builds up the favorability of dragons..

Will I transform into a dragon… Or will I become friends with dragons?

‘If I get close to a dragon… Will I be able to ride it…’

I agonized over whether to be futilely stubborn or just entrust the choice entirely to Yewon.
