I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

230 – Derke Alone

“… If we, the Death Clan, make love to a member of a different race, the target’s soul will be lost? So, you can never be an ordinary man, okay?”

Derke’s mother warns with a smiling face.

Making eye contact with her own daughter.

Looking at the content alone, it seemed like a joke,

She maintained a fairly stern tone.

“Eh… ?”

Derke, on the other hand, just showed a blank expression. That would have been difficult for Derke, who was still young, to understand.

“Derke? “Mom, do you understand what it means?”

But still, her face was quite serious and determined. No matter how you look at her, she was definitely not a joke.

‘That word… Really? If you make love to a member of the Death clan, will your soul fall out? Then yesterday I… Was it dangerous?’

ㅡOh soso… !

I feel like goosebumps are growing all over my body.

Even though it was in Derke’s consciousness.

A dizzying sensation runs down my spine.

It was such a shocking setting.

Suddenly, something that happened yesterday came to mind.

I almost lost my soul last night.

If Derke hadn’t fallen asleep after eating the hot dog, she would definitely have asked to sleep with me.

I promised to grant my wish, but I reluctantly granted it.

‘You almost got into big trouble yesterday, right? So you’re saying Derke also forgot this fact?’

Maybe I forgot because it was an old memory.

It must have been about 100 years ago.

It’s completely understandable.

If Derke had remembered this fact, she wouldn’t have attacked her as aggressively as she did yesterday.

“… Mom? So, does that mean humans can’t be like in fairy tales?”

“No, that’s not what I’m talking about. Not only humans, but most other races will not be able to handle the power of our clan. Because it is contradictory to create life by mixing bodies with the family of death.”

“Contradiction… ? What does that mean… ?”

“Derke, it may be difficult for you to understand right now, but… Ordinary beings are too weak to bear the price of this contradictory love. “I wouldn’t know if it were a strong being like a dragon.”

“Huh? Well, it’s difficult too…”

“Fuhuhu, don’t think too hard about it. To put it simply, it’s okay if it’s a being that has equal or greater power than our dragon. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s a rare opportunity to meet a male dragon.”

“Why are male dragons so rare?”

“Well, most of the males were destroyed while trying to stop the demon dragon from escaping. Before Derke was even born…”

Derke’s mother shakes her head and trails off.

I had no idea such a setting existed.

It is a bloody backstory befitting the clan of death.

Embracing a dragon in the first place is reckless, but if I had decided to embrace Derke even just once, I would no longer be a person in this world.

‘In order to embrace Derke, you have to be at least a dragon level…’

We almost had a wedding and funeral at the same time. Anyway, I’ll have to be careful for the time being.

If I resonate the remaining three dragon hearts more, it might be safe then. So until then, Derke’s wish will have to be put on hold.

“Chi… So, is Derke a death dragon who has a hard time meeting a nice guy like in a fairy tale?”

Derke expresses his disappointment by sticking out his lips. For a member of the clan of death, love as beautiful as a fairy tale was just a dreamlike story.

“Not really, Derke. Because love is possible with just the heart.”

ㅡSrurruk… !

Derke’s mother stands up and comforts the boy. She leads her fragile-looking body and suddenly approaches her window.

The direction my gaze is currently focused on.

‘W-what is it… ?’

She fixes her eyes on her window.

As if looking into my face

It felt like we made eye contact earlier,

Now, he puts his face close to my gaze.

This time too, her green eyes are looking at me.

“As long as people care and love each other, it doesn’t matter what the other person’s race is. If you really love me, someday… You will appear before my eyes again someday…”

‘Woah, tears… ?’

The woman who was muttering while looking at her window suddenly bursts into tears. Small water droplets are forming around her eyes.

Nevertheless, her eyes were still focused on me. As if you were looking at my face her her her her. I feel strange, like I made myself cry for no reason.

“─Bungeut, bungeut… ” …”

‘Hmm? What is it?’

I see Derke’s mother moving her lips towards me without making any sound of her voice. As if she had something she wanted to tell me.

Judging by the shape of the lips, it seemed like he was softly whispering a two-syllable word. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell what exactly was being said.

“Mom? Death dragon can’t hear anything you’re saying. And why are you crying… ?”

“Ah… ! Rice, it’s no big deal.”

ㅡChaah… !

When she heard Derke’s voice, she closed the curtains near the window and turned around.

‘What were you just trying to say? Her heart, her aches… ?’

It was currently in Derke’s consciousness,

I can feel her her heartbreaking emotions her.

She was definitely a face I had never seen before,

Unknown emotions stir within her chest.

A completely different feeling from when I first met Rayleigh. Is it a feeling close to sadness?

“Mom? I’m sure you’re crying…?!”

“That’s not true. “I was so sleepy that I yawned, right?”

“Oh, that’s right! “Mom, it’s a hibernation base starting tomorrow!”

“Hehe, are you smart? “I remember it well.”

“Yes-! Of course I remember Death-!”

“Yes, this mother is so old now that she needs to get enough sleep. “It may be as short as 100 years.”

“Desuyong who can wait long enough for that arrangement!”

“Ha… By the way, are you really okay alone, Derke?”

“It’s okay! And for this time, we all know that Death has consistently taught us ancient sayings… !”

“Derke…”

Derke spreads out her small fingers like a fern and waves them in the air. Then, small ghosts resembling cotton candy gather around him.

“This is what you see! Thanks to this, Death Dragon can now control the ghosts as he pleases… ! “If she stays with her ghost friends, she won’t be lonely even while her mother sleeps!”

“Ha… Thank you, Derke, for growing up so bravely. “Mom will stay with Derke tonight.”

“Yep-! Come quickly and give me a hug!”

The silhouette of the two is reflected behind the curtain.

Derke is held in her mother’s arms.

With a bright face that shows no worries.

“Thank you for growing up pretty and strong, Derke. And I feel sorry for her mom…”

“Why are you sorry, Death-?!”

“Because you’re a bad mother who doesn’t have anyone around to take care of you…” ” …”

“That’s not true! After being protected by her mother for 100 years, it’s great that Derke will be by her mother her’s her side her her this time!”

“Even though…”

“Mom? You look very sleepy, but you’re going to sleep quickly… ! And all you have to do is wake up before Derke enters school!”

Derke was 100 years younger than now,

The boldness is almost no different from now.

Even if it’s a dragon, how can it be so brave when it has to live alone for 100 years?

‘You’ve been quick-witted ever since you were young.’

I guess she knows that if she puts her mother at ease like this, she can sleep soundly and wake up without worry.

“Thank you for understanding her mom… ” … Thanks to you, I can sleep peacefully.”

“Heh, Death Dragon only made one promise instead… !”

“Promise?”

“Yes-! When I wake up in 100 years, I will take Derke to the Academy! Not being able to see my mom in a row is going to be a bit sad…”

Still, he was still a kid.

Derke’s expression becomes slightly gloomy.

Still, the guy tried to pretend like nothing was wrong and held up his little finger.

“Yes, of course. I will definitely wake up then.”

“Then you make a promise with your little finger!” Ruler… !”

It was hard to see because it was covered by the curtain,

The silhouettes of the two mother and daughter overlap.

And not long after…

ㅡPhew… !

The lamp that softly brightened the room goes out.

In an instant, the whole place is covered in darkness.

I guess it’s time for both of us to fall into a deep sleep.

ㅡShuhuaah… !

At that moment, my vision also turns black.

At the same time, I feel like my head is spinning.

Perhaps Derki’s memories end here.

“Ahhh… ! It’s the head…”

Finally, my eyelids open.

Feeling like waking up from a deep hangover.

My head feels dizzy and heavy.

“Breeder? Are you okay?”

“Oh, principal?”

ㅡSussssseu… !

When I open my eyes, the first thing that comes into view is Schnelia’s face. She pulls back the roots of the tree that were wrapping around our hands.

“I am okay. Rather, Derke… ?”

“Shhh… “I’m still asleep and can’t wake up.”

ㅡDorong Dorong…

After hearing her her words her her her, I look next to her and see Derke snoring.

“… “Maybe she’s sleeping with her mother.”

“Mom… Mom…”

He visits her mother her and talks about her in her sleep her her her. As she listens to the sorrowful voice of her, her heart breaks once again.

ㅡRurg…

“Uh? Tears came from Derke’s eyes… ?”

I was familiar with his sleep, his talking,

It’s my first time seeing tears in my sleep.

Transparent tears are flowing down Derke’s cheeks.

‘Oh, really?’

These tears remind me of the words I heard in Derke’s memory.

-If you wake up in 100 years, you will have to take Derke to the Academy!

I definitely made this promise with my mom.

However, the day before the start of the semester,

Derke, who I ran into…

He clearly arrived at the academy alone.

That means…
