36 – Unknown Sugar Crash

“… The seniors’ condition looks strange-!”

A freshman peeping through the cracks in the diverticulum door points inward with an unusual tone of voice.

“Desuyong… ? Hopefully the dragon… … ?”

But Sophia’s eyes were fixed on the freshman.

The young Hetzling was using unusual words. The words he was spouting were obviously far from the common language of the continent.

Even so, it was awkward to call it dragon language, a language only for dragons.

‘To use a term that can only be seen in a really old history book… ? Oh, what else is that?’

The unusual way of speaking was also strange, but

There was something more striking than that.

Sophia stares at Derke’s chest.

ㅡTwinkle, twinkle!

The badge attached to the shoulder strap of the school uniform caught Sofia’s attention as it reflected the sunlight.

“yes? This… … .”

「The Hero of Interest」

As you get closer, you’ll see a yellow badge.

A sign that is the exact opposite of the grade representative.

Sophia had only heard of it, but it was the first time she had actually seen it.

A badge given only to new students who require special attention.

As a Balaur, this was a great disgrace.

Who likes to get special treatment?

The weight of the badge was enough to shatter the dragon’s pride.

“… Haah, I’m Dercane in the first year, yap-!”

When Sophia’s hand touched the badge, Derke recited the official title.

It is the basic of the basics to reveal the name of the official rank whenever there is a touch from a superior or professor. It was a pretty quick reaction to be a person of interest.

Except for some odd way of speaking.

It was the first time in my life that I had heard it.

It was like an ancient dragon that few people still use.

‘By the way, Derke… ? Oh, right. Breeder asked… … !’

Remembering her promise to the breeder, Sophia makes a surprising face.

“Is your name really Derkenny?”

“Oh, that’s right-! I’m sorry for being lazy in the break room… !”

When Sophia asks her name again,

Derke’s face turned pale for an instant.

The boy was restless and only rolled his eyes.

Even so, there was a gap between the two that was hard to even see eye to eye. Including the vacation period, the wall of time existed for at least 450 years.

A great senior that I dare not even look at.

Because of this, Derke didn’t know what to do.

It’s just that my face is blue and I’m just shaking.

Of course, it wasn’t a huge age difference once they got out of the academy, but the younger they get, the bigger the age difference becomes.

“… … .”

On the other hand, Sophia was staring at Derke with a look of surprise.

It had no other meaning.

Derke is just amazing.

There was nothing unpleasant about hanging around in the break room.

Rather, it was just a pity. It was an obvious absurdity that only 4th graders could use the break room.

‘By the way, a child like this is a person of interest?’

Sophia glanced at Derke’s frozen appearance. It was a strange hetzling the more I looked at it.

‘Are you really a freshman? How can you not see any sign of a dragon at such a young age? Except for the unusual use of phrasal verbs unbecoming of a young age… … .’

Sophia rubs her chin and groans.

It was the expression of a scholar facing a difficult problem.

It is also true that the younger he was, the more difficult it was to maintain his human appearance.

In other words, keeping the polymorph stable meant knowing how to perfectly handle the mana inside the body.

That’s why the ratio of having horns or tails was higher among the lower grades who were still immature in handling mana.

‘Even me, a 4th grader, sometimes gets a tail when I’m excited… … . what the hell is this kid? A child born with the power of mana like this is a hero of interest?’

… … .

Sofia, having lost her initial purpose of delivering the chocolate, froze in front of Derke for a while. A moment of silence ensued, surprised by each other’s existence.

“I’m sorry, yap… !”

It was Derke who broke the silence first.

“… Hey, Dereke! So that you don’t come to the break room again—”

“No, it’s fine. I know you well because I heard about you from Mr. Breeder.”

“Huh… ? Senior made me… … ?”

Sophia comes to her senses at Derke’s words.

She showed off a benevolent smile.

Put aside your interest in Derke for a while,

Something that reminded me of my initial purpose again.

“We’ll talk about that later, and anyway, can you explain it again? How about inside the break room?”

“That, that… ! I heard a strange noise from inside, so I looked into it… Seo, seniors… … !”

Derke was speechless.

The unusual way of speaking that had been going on for a long time also stopped.

It was the look on the face of witnessing something so horrific that he couldn’t speak.

“What the hell is going on, making such a fuss… … .”

ㅡKi profit… !

Sophia, who couldn’t see this, opens the door and enters in a frustrated heart.

“Haha… ? uh, what the hell is this… … ?!”

However, Sophia lost her composure as soon as she entered the break room and was shocked.

ㅡHmmm, hmmm… … . I feel good ah… … ♡

ㅡSweet is the best… … I’m the happiest… … .

ㅡI want to eat it every day, hehehe… … .

Most of the 4th graders sitting inside were lying face down on the table.

It looked too classy to be taking a nap. Some of them were roaming about with their eyes open, even drooling.

“Even if you eat it, it tastes amazing… ! Although sweet things aren’t my taste, this drink… ! really great… … !”

Oh, but some of them looked fine.

But it just didn’t fall,

Everyone’s eyes were open.

It’s like inhaling a bowl of medicine… … .

“D, Diora? Mo, everyone… ? Are you okay?!”

“Did you go for rice flour? Here, one more drink… … !”

Diora was raving about rice flour, and the other 4th graders were raving about dessert.

ㅡCrunch!

And that, too, with his face buried in a bowl, which did not suit his human form.

This look was similar to the look of livestock scooping up fodder.

The dignity of a dragon could not even be found.

“Hey, Diora?! Can’t you hear me? Hurry up and explain what this is all about… … !”

“It’s perfect for my taste as an earth dragon! As expected, the grains grown with the energy of the land cannot be tasteless! really great… ! To make such a savory and simple drink with only grains… … !”

“Can’t you speak?”

Sophia waved her hand in front of Diora’s eyes and tried to talk to her, but Diora was talking gibberish with dilated eyes like someone drunk.

Even though Sophia was standing right next to him, he didn’t even look at him.

ㅡuma, it’s delicious… !

ㅡ Breeder? Give me another bowl!

ㅡIt’s the first time I’ve tasted this sweet! Besides, it’s crispy!

ㅡDid you say rice flour? As the breeder said, it really tastes better when you roll the biscuits here… … ?

Other than Diora, some dragons were screaming for refills without coming to their senses.

“”Breeders? Breeder… ! I’ll ask you here too!!!”

Everyone was heading toward the kitchen and calling out Breeder’s name in unison.

It was no different from livestock that was eating fodder.

I was blindly coveting dessert.

On the other hand, chanting the breeder’s name felt like fanaticism.

“… Yes, I’m leaving soon-!! If you wait a little bit… aww Sophia? And Derke?”

Just then, a man appears from the kitchen to the enthusiastic reception of the fanatics.

The breeder who was sweating profusely while preparing dessert.

*

The whole story was really simple.

Biscuits and drinks were served as prepared.

And the girls just ate it.

Really this was all. I didn’t do anything.

Oh, all I did was recommend that if you want to eat more deliciously, try rolling it in rice flour.

Anyway, after that, the reactions of the ladies who tasted the star candy-covered biscuits were intense.

A girl with her head down with her eyes closed.

A girl who faints with drooling at the corner of her mouth.

There was even a girl who, like cattle, inhaled biscuits with her face buried in a bowl, as if she was drunk on sugar.

At least Diora kept her sanity.

Biscuit alone did not let go of his mind easily.

Of course, after tasting the powdered rice, it changed 180 degrees… … .

“Kyaha-! breeder? One more drink please!! This is the first time in my life that I have had such a savory and hearty drink!”

A reaction like drinking beer.

Anyone who sees it will know it’s an inn bar.

It means that a glass of rice flour melts your eyes like a drunk.

ㅡHere… ! here! Give me more biscuits!

—-You are so delicious… ! Give me more too!

ㅡCouldn’t you just give me star candy separately?

ㅡWhy are you saying you can’t inhale through your nose?!

ㅡUmmm… ! Wow wow… !

—-Haa… I’m ecstatic♡ A little more sweet to me… … .

The atmosphere of the break room quickly transforms into an entertainment district.

Anyone who sees it will think that dessert is drugged.

In reality, it is a restorative medicine that is equivalent to a meal.

Where did it go wrong?

I just can’t get a feel for it

‘Why is everyone doing this? Yesterday’s first graders had a similar reaction, but it wasn’t to this extent… … ?’

ㅡQuickly bring more… ! right now!

ㅡDo you want gold coins? I’ll give you everything you have, colonel everything!

ㅡHaa, I have to go on a diet, but I can’t stop, right?

ㅡI just bring you more drinks!

—-I was still hungry because I skipped lunch, but this alone made me feel full… … .

I didn’t even have time to analyze the cause.

Customers everywhere shout for refills.

I was worried about the condition of the girls,

As a human being, there was nothing I could do right away.

“… Yes, I’m leaving soon!”

They just take orders and process them as the dragons tell them to do.

ㅡdalgrak, moongrak… !

The wind, which kept asking for refills, carried biscuits and flour without blinking an eye.

I wondered if this was right, but I couldn’t stop. It is impossible to ignore the orders of the ladies.

I was handling the rush of orders alone.

ㅡKi profit… !

In the meantime, the door to the break room opens.

“… aww Sophia? And Derke?”

At the sight of Sofia’s brilliant appearance coming in through the door, I knew that the goddess had descended for a moment.

‘Wouldn’t Sophia be able to solve it somehow?’

It was obviously something I did,

I couldn’t really find the cause.

For this reason, it was at this moment that help was desperately needed.

It’s a problem even if you satisfy the ladies… … .
