How to Live as a Half-Dragon
Chapter 12
012. travel.
Late at night the world is silent.
The silence given by darkness to Xian is unfamiliar.
Something I never experienced when I was in the arms of my parents.
That fact somehow made Xian bitter.
Xian looked outside and thought.
‘It’s quiet.’
And somehow, it was also scary.
Unable to foresee the future seemed like the future, so a sense of hopelessness followed.
“Do you really have any regrets even if you leave like this?”
It was Hughes’ question.
To her, a third person, it seemed like it happened all too quickly.
With a light smile, Xian said to his beautiful companion.
“yes. song.”
The decision was made long ago anyway.
And above all, it’s not about breaking up forever.
As his mother said, he has lived as a human, so he is only living as a half-dragon once.
If I miss you after a good experience, I will come back then.
“Because this is home.”
In fact, Xian was still confused by the sudden events that happened during the day.
The fact that the children you believed were true friends could turn around at any time.
It still made my head dizzy that kind neighbors, village elders who exchanged greetings from time to time, could become enemies.
Seeing this situation, Xian thought it would be good to get away from home for a while and spend time with other experiences.
I can’t decide right now how to deal with it because of my confused emotions, but when I get out of here and my thoughts are organized, I will know what I want completely.
“light.”
As Hughes used his magic, small orbs of light floated around.
Little finger-sized fireflies roam the surroundings and slightly drive away the darkness.
Xian looked at him curiously.
It’s a very simple magic, but magic is not something that anyone can use.
It was magic that was difficult to see in everyday life because it could not be acquired without knowledge, talent, and training.
“Do you know how to use magic?”
“How old am I? This is a matter of course.”
Hughes started walking first, and Xian followed him.
Xian asked softly.
“How old are you?”
“It’s rude to specifically ask a lady her age, Sian.”
“Are you sure the lady is right?”
It’s not Mac, I’m really curious.
Being a Dragonian, they generally have a long lifespan, and usually hide their wild nature, so you should be able to know their age… .
“Of course, I’m at an age where it’s no problem to call Xian older sister.”
“It must be the Dragonian standard, right?”
“yes.”
That’s it too…
I don’t know, but then I thought I was tens of years old.
Sian glanced at Hughes, who was walking forward, and once again checked the blurry town in the darkness.
‘It’s really over now.’
leave town
I don’t know if I’ll be back or not, but thinking that it will be after a fairly long time has passed, I felt somewhat regretful.
I wonder if I walked for about 15 minutes following Hughes.
Upon reaching the village entrance guarded by vigilantes, Hughes reaps the magic that illuminates the surroundings.
“why?”
“Come this way.”
The place where she led Xian was a wall far from the entrance.
Actually, it was a late night runaway.
You will not be able to walk confidently through the entrance.
“I’ll go and check first, so when I send a signal, let’s come over.”
“yes.”
Hughes climbed over the wall first and disappeared out of town.
After waiting a moment, I heard Hughes lightly tapping on the wall.
Xian heard the sound and tried to climb over the fence, but hesitated.
Xian, who turned toward the direction of the house, murmured softly.
“I’ll be back.”
After spitting out the words she couldn’t say earlier, Xian, who cut off his lingering feelings, quickly jumped over the wall.
The wall is a shabby height to be called a wall.
It was not difficult to cross Xian because it was only around 4m.
When we landed on the opposite side, Hughes, who had been waiting for us, opened his light again and said.
“Is it later than expected? I was worried because I knew I couldn’t pass it.”
“I, not to that extent.”
“Yes, it should be.”
“to?”
When Xian asked again, Hughes replied that it was no big deal.
“Hurry up, we have a long way to go.”
Hughes started to walk, and Sian followed.
I was curious about the meaning of the word a moment ago, but I don’t think I’ll answer it anyway… .
Xian, who was walking on the forest path relying on the light of dawn, said.
“But isn’t it dangerous outside at this time?”
Usually monsters are nocturnal.
Although Xian usually spends time at the giant tree outside the village, it was another matter at night… .
It was because the monsters became stronger at night.
‘Because he’s even active.’
So, it was common for adventurers to refrain from moving at night if possible.
“Nothing to worry about. The monsters that live around here are at the level of goblins or kobolds, and even at night, there is no big burden.”
“I see… .”
I don’t know what level the goblins and kobolds, who became stronger at night, might be, but Hughes, who was many times stronger than himself, said this, so he had nothing to say.
It was time for Xian to follow Hughes’ guidance without saying anything.
After about 10 minutes had passed, one thing suddenly came to Xian’s mind.
Xian looked at Hughes in the seat next to him.
“But how did Hughes get here?”
It was the thing I was most curious about, but I didn’t even ask about it because I wasn’t in a good mood.
Hughes was obviously captured by the Slayers… .
Of course, there are parts that are pointed out to some extent, but I wanted to hear it in detail.
“Sarah saved me.”
“Are you mom? Why?”
“Judging from the fact that you asked me to guide Xian to his destination, he must have needed a guardian for Xian.”

My mother said goodbye in the middle of the night, but she must have been worried.
Be a protector…
Glancing at Hughes, Xian asked what he was curious about.
“But Hughes sister.”
“Tell me, Xian.”
“Do dragonians really eat humans?”
To be honest, Xian, a half-dragon, had never had such an urge.
However, from what Xian had heard since childhood, the Dragonians were very infamous for eating humans.
“I can’t say it’s not. I’ve heard that there are dragonians who often hunt humans out of hatred.”
That’s not to say I didn’t deny it.
“Then what about Hughes?”
In fact, this was what Xian was most curious about.
In the meantime, Hughes, whom Xian had seen, was an unfailingly good neighbor.
Even now, I couldn’t imagine that she was that kind of person, even respecting him who was dozens of years younger than him.
Hughes replied calmly, even though it was his own business, without any sign of being offended.
“I think of humans as good neighbors. Oh, be careful of the rocks here.”
Hughes stepped over the boulder and stopped.
For some reason, it was the reason why Xian suddenly stopped walking.
Turning around, she said.
“why? What’s going on?”
Sian smiled brightly at her curious gaze.
“As expected, Hughes was a good neighbor.”
“ah… . yes.”
Said Xian, who not only jumped over the stone beak, but also jumped to the seat next to Hughes.
“But Hughes is starving.”
“Does it snow… ? Have you suddenly become five years younger?”
Hughes responded with a light smile and started walking again.
“There is a small village at the end of this road. You have to be patient until you get there.”
“to… .”
Two people walk on a dark mountain road.
Towards the village that will exist beyond this.
* * *
While walking toward the village, Xian started talking about various things with Hughes.
Like it or not, we have to go together.
It was because it was necessary to become friends first.
“So you didn’t kill him?”
“Yes, so Sara-sama, you have nothing to worry about.”
It was Xian who was worried about his mother, wondering if he might have killed the Slayer.
It was because saving Hughes meant losing pretend to the elite group of Slayers, and furthermore, he could have been driven out as an enemy of mankind due to his sin with the dragon.
But fortunately, those worries seemed to be unfounded.
Hearing Hughes’ story, he said that the battle between his mother and the Slayers was truly overwhelming.
Hughes was saying that he stunned the three of them in an instant without even showing his face.
‘I expected it to be strong, but that was it?’
In recent days, the mother’s evaluation continues to rise.
Even if you peel it, it keeps coming out like an onion.

Maybe there’s something more left?
It was when Xian was thinking the same thing.
“uh?”
With a sudden expression, Xian looked at Hughes.
Hughes already had a serious face, probably sensing what Xian was feeling.
“Something is coming.”
“Looking at the speed and momentum, this must be the purpose, right?”
“Perhaps.”
Xian’s thoughts and Hughes’ thoughts seemed to be completely in agreement.
There was no room for collision because the many signs were only approaching in a straight line.
“What are you going to do?”
“Escape is the way, but… .”
A pretty smile crept across Hughes’ lips.
It was a smile that made me feel refreshed just by looking at it.
“That would hurt your pride as a Dragonian, right?”
“Well, that’s how it is.”
Xian nodded.
Hughes’s words were to fight here, but it was because Xian was also confident in battle.
Even goblins and kobolds live around here, so… .
It was time for Xian to wait for the monsters with a relaxed mind.
‘at las… .’
The bush shook and a number of monsters appeared from all sides.
Xian, who confirmed the identity of the monster, was a bit taken aback.
“this… This is a goblin, right?”
“As you can see.”
I knew it… .
Xian actually had eyes, so he knew the answer to some extent.
But even so, the reason I asked Hughes was because the goblin’s condition was so strange.
“The ones that were born and ate are undoubtedly goblins… .”
What matters is the size.
It was the same as a goblin, with greenish skin, a pointed nose, and torn eyes, but it wasn’t the goblin’s appearance, which was one head smaller than Xian’s.
Again, it was because one head was bigger.
‘Why is my body so good?’
Wherever he goes, his usual skinny body boasts a solid muscular body.
It was time for Xian to watch the goblin glaring at him with red eyes.
Hughes looked at them closely and said.
“It’s just fine.”
“yes?”
I looked up at Hughes and she grinned.
Can Xian solve this?
