"Ah, I get it, I get it. Yeah, there are people like that," Iseul said while smiling.
However, Raon wondered if he was the only one who felt like that remark was directed at his younger brother.
A quick glance confird it... yeah, he hadn’t been wrong.
"I’m talking about you. I don’t think I can ever understand soone who can’t even get that. Now leave imdiately."
"Eh~ co on, let’s go together~"
Raon glanced at his younger brother and thought, No, that’s impossible.
Although the words were polite, the man’s face was deadly serious.
It scread annoyance, dislike, and exasperation.
"Do you two siblings enjoy causing trouble for others?"
Now the hostility was directed squarely at them.
"N-no, no, that’s not ! He’s... well, I guess I think the sa as you..."
"Hey~ that’s so an, isn’t it?"
Raon thought, You’re the cruel one for making feel like this.
"What happened the other day... I’m sorry. I’m just shocked that you can see ... and that old man was so strong, and the woman swung an axe chasing ," Raon said nervously.
That had been dangerous.
If he had been in his original form, there would have been no problem, but since he had taken a human form, just running away had been all he could manage.
"You don’t listen to people. I told you not to follow us," Qiong Xing said coldly.
"That’s not going to work! You were the first one to find out, so I need to know why... I can’t just ignore it!" Raon protested.
"Even if you understand, what difference does it make? Whether you accept it or not is none of my concern... That’s why I said you should not co near!"
In the middle of their argunt, it seed Raon had let go of Iseul’s hand.
A few seconds ago, he had been right beside him, but now he had moved dangerously close to the boy.
"Hey, hey, what’s with this kid? He’s been clinging to you the whole ti. Isn’t he annoying?"
"You’re the one who’s annoying! Don’t you dare touch my child, or I won’t forgive you!"
"What the hell are you doing, idiot! Stop!"
Seeing Iseul reach to pull the child away in response, Raon rushed to stop him.
That was really going too far!
"—Step back."
"!?!"
A blade suddenly appeared in front of Raon and he instinctively recoiled.
The sound of air slicing past reached his ears.
Joa who is wielding twin swords glared directly at him.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Raon yelled.
"Ah? Don’t dodge. You tried to touch soone else’s without permission, so of course I’d swing a hand," Joa said firmly.
"That’s not true! I’m just trying to stop my younger brother!"
"You know what they say: a brother is responsible for his sibling’s mistakes, right?"
"I’ve never heard that!"
Looking at this scene, Iseul smiled gently, but instead of stopping the situation, he said sothing that only provoked it further.
"Hey, what did you do, big brother? You’re getting scolded," Iseul said casually.
You! This is all your fault!!
His carefree tone, paired with that foolish grin, made it impossible not to want to hit him.
So he did and not lightly he punched him with full force.
Unable to hold back at all, the blow sent Iseul flying.
He flew, and flew again, crashing into different places along the way, hitting whatever was in his path before being sent flying even farther.
"Well... he brought it on himself," Qiong Xing said calmly.
"Yeah," Joa agreed.
"..."
They were brothers, but there was nothing he could say in his defense.
The area fell silent.
Judging that Iseul had lost consciousness, he apologized to the others and went to retrieve him.
"If you do sothing like that again, be prepared," Raon warned.
"...Why is this my fault?"
At that mont, he wished more than ever that he had been born the younger brother instead.
And he swore to himself that he would never easily forgive this guy again.
...
It had all happened like a storm.
"Do you know those guys?" Joa asked.
"I t the older brother in town before," Qiong Xing replied. "Since they were connected to the situation, I left the cleanup to the two of them and ca back..."
It seed they had handled things in a very intense way.
Still, it looked like it had so effect.
Compared to before, the older brother didn’t seem as aggressive.
Qiong Xing had never imagined that man had such a younger brother. Being noticed by soone that troubleso felt like a headache.
"According to Albe, they might be from the dragon race," Qiong Xing continued. "We didn’t ask them directly, so I can’t be sure. But their eyes really did look like a reptile’s."
"Seriously? Those guys?" Joa said in disbelief.
He was probably talking about the younger brother.
Qiong Xing himself only knew dragons from stories, but he had always imagined them as proud and dignified beings.
Those two brothers were the complete opposite.
Maybe they were still young, but their attitude only ca off as arrogant at best.
They had no sense of dignity and honestly, they weren’t scary at all.
Especially the younger one... he felt strange.
Not in terms of weight, but his attitude.
It was too light, too careless, like he didn’t take anything seriously.
And on top of that, for so reason, he had taken a liking to Qiong Xing and even said he wanted to make him his pet.
There was no way Qiong Xing would agree to sothing like that.
He had no desire to beco anyone’s pet.
"Cari? It’s okay now," Qiong Xing said gently.
"...."
The child clung tightly to him with his arms wrapped around him as if refusing to let go.
Qiong Xing felt that forcing him to separate would be too cruel, so he simply held him and gently stroked his back.
"Mayo~ Mayo~"
"Mayo, you protected Lian, didn’t you? Thank you," Qiong Xing said softly.
