I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

88 – Find Derke

“D-Derke… ? For what reason did you drop out?!”

“Ah, that… that’s it… … .”

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I first heard the news.

A loud sound comes out without me knowing.

It was the first time I had raised my voice like this during a roll call.

Of course, there could have been work or other circumstances, but it was related to Derke, so I had no choice but to make a fuss.

That would be true, too, since the guy who used to come to the break room every day to get his work stamp today didn’t even poke his nose. At first, I thought I was just spending time with my classmates.

Something that has always been on my mind.

As if he had become Derke’s older brother.

But suddenly out of nowhere?

I couldn’t help but feel anxious about this news.

“So what is the extraneous content?”

“That, that… ! I’m temporarily out of the interview! I’ll probably be back before bedtime!”

“interview… … ?”

“Nenet… That’s right!”

Tina looks me in the eye and answers.

It must have been because he suddenly raised his voice.

To the extent that the first grade hallway buzzed.

But I couldn’t help but worry about Derke.

“Miss Tina? Do you know who you are interviewing for?”

“That, that’s why… … . Sorry, Mr. Breeder!”

“Well? Are you suddenly sorry?”

Tina, who was about to speak, shuts her mouth.

He shook his head up to his head and swallowed it.

With a sigh of relief that I almost talked about it.

“It’s hard to say because it’s a security issue between students. I’m really sorry… !”

Tina looks at me in a voice that doesn’t know what to do and lowers her head. Then, alone, he becomes restless, saying, ‘Ah, wasn’t this supposed to be said?’

It was a very suspicious reaction in many ways.

But what about student security?

It seems that the senior called Derke for this.

Otherwise, there is no way to hide such an outlier. They must be keeping quiet in the name of security to cover up internal absurdities.

Just like in the military, soldiers are educated on their own so that officers will never be notified when faced with injustice or abuse.

It reminds me of my military days for nothing.

But what about the interview? why? For what?

I thought the first grade roll call would always be smooth,

It’s such a sudden and unexpected exception… … .

I wouldn’t have cared too much if it had been the other girl’s exclusion.

However, since it was related to Derke, I couldn’t stay still. Because it could have been that he was being bullied by other seniors.

ㅡSue… !

“Now, Miss Tina? I’ll give you this, can you tell me? I will keep it strictly a secret from the other girls.”

“What? this, this… … ?”

I secretly passed some of the meringue cookies I had made for Derke to Tina and made a deal. If words don’t work, stop using bribes to open your mouth.

“Shhh, let the other students see it. It’s specially given to Miss Tina, so take it secretly.”

“Haha? special for me? Eh, it shouldn’t be like this… … !”

Tina blushed on both cheeks and couldn’t readily refuse. It was because he was still in his first year, so he noticed that he wasn’t sure how to respond to such an offer.

ㅡToouk… !

I put a cookie into Tina’s hand without hesitation. to no longer be able to refuse. An armful of meringue cookies are placed in a small hand.

“… Huh?”

“You don’t have to answer in detail. If you tell me roughly what the situation is, I’ll give you something more delicious next time.”

“Eh, ehm… ! If the teacher is right… … .”

Tina clears her throat while reluctantly accepting a snack. All of a sudden, the troubled expression on his face disappeared, leaving only a strange blush and embarrassment.

It seemed like she was taken aback by the word that it was a snack specially prepared for Tina.

“Come on, tell me.”

“but… I, Tina, can’t reveal that Derke is now ‘going up’ at the call of ‘senpai’! sorry!”

Tina confides moderately.

Pretending to refuse, he only pointed out the key points.

Indeed, it is the smartness of a first-year representative.

Even though I can’t say it, I’m going to give you all the rough situation.

ㅡ Nodding!

Even so, the guy who puts cookies in and looks down. There was a strange feeling of happiness on Tina’s face as she looked at me and Cookie.

“All right. Then wait until the end of the roll call.”

“yes… ! Then suffer, sir! And thank you-!”

I immediately went up to the second floor.

There was no time to accept Tina’s greeting.

My heart was in a hurry to find the senior Tina mentioned.

The prime suspects who could have Derke are the sophomores. As opposite seniors, they are the ones who have the duty to manage the juniors in the first year, so I am most suspicious of them.

And somehow, the rough personality of a sophomore like a black flame dragon also bothered me.

“Ah, are you here?”

Among them, Sonya, who looks the most picky, bows her head slightly to me. It was Sonya who became a little more polite due to Raylin’s visit.

“Yes, I will receive the report first.”

“This is the second grade report. A total of 15 sophomores. There are no exceptions. By the way… Bo, are your cheeks feeling better?”

When Sonya finishes reporting on the mechanical knife,

First of all, he asks me how I am doing and attaches a limb.

Even with a very awkward tone.

Sonya’s pink eyes scan my face.

“Yeah, I’m fine now. Rather, is Derke here by any chance?”

It was amazing that he had become quite polite since yesterday, but unfortunately, I couldn’t pay attention to the SSR grade guy today.

“yes? Are you talking about the first year’s hero of interest?”

Sonya answered with a tone of “I don’t know.”

I didn’t even expect you to answer me.

Overall, it seemed like this would be the atmosphere of a friendly sophomore.

“You really don’t know?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about… … .”

Uncooperative as expected.

You must be pretending not to know.

If so, there is nothing you can do about it.

I have no choice but to use the authority of the supervisor.

“Then I’ll do a dormitory inspection.”

“Ah yes? What… … .”

Of course, Sonya’s words were not credible.

It was because I was a sophomore who didn’t know what was inside.

Maybe he was secretly harassing Derke from behind.

ㅡA jump!

First, I checked Sonya’s room.

Go through all the rooms and you’ll find something.

There must be an empty room or a room where Derke has been called.

“Huh-uhh♥ Are the learning abilities of humans at the level of monkeys to open the lady’s door again and again? Pooh-♡”

“… … .”

As soon as I opened the door, Zeros greeted me with a sweet tone. In all subjects, who is talking about learning ability to whom?

I just wanted to respond like this, but

I didn’t really care.

Because there was something more urgent than that.

“Derke? Are you here?!”

“What, what?! Looking for another dragon in someone else’s room? Totally ignorant-♡”

“Derke… ?!”

I searched every nook and cranny of the room,

Inside, there really was only Zeros.

The guy said, ‘Are you ignoring me right now on the human subject? He, did you think I would be jealous if you did that-?!’ In response, he grumbled at me.

As if you were asking me to pay attention to you.

“Huh, Ms. Zeros? Do you know where Derke is now?”

“D-Derke… ? What do I know about such a crappy freshman?!”

“Is that so?”

“How unpleasant! lowest! How dare you put me in front of another dragon—!”

“Now, I’ll give you this, so tell me what you know.”

“Huh… … ???”

I tried to negotiate with meringue cookies this time too. Because she was under the protection of Sofia and Raylin, she was able to negotiate freely like this until her second year.

“Sir, can you do something like this for me… … ?”

“you’re right. I’ll give Sonya’s share here too, so if you know anything, let me know.”

“Huh, heh… ! What do I know about that? Do you think you can move my heart with just something like this?”

Zeroth suddenly blushed and shook his head. Even though he reacted so harshly… … .

ㅡAwesome!

I quickly snatched the meringue cookie.

And then the guy who puts it right into your arms.

Young was a dragon whose words and actions were completely different.

“You really don’t know?”

“Mole-la! What do I know about that guy?”

“All right. Enough then.”

It didn’t look like he was lying, so he turned around. It was a pity that I wasted the meringue cookies, but if they didn’t tell me, I had to check it with my own eyes.

“What… ? what? Gee, he really just left like this… … ?!”

I could hear Zeroth’s absurd tone from behind, but I couldn’t waste time in this.

ㅡ smart smart… !

ㅡA jump!

“There will be a dormitory inspection for a while.”

After that, I checked the other rooms carefully, but I couldn’t find any trace of Derke. I asked the other sophomores about Derke’s whereabouts, but nothing came of it.

Besides, everyone seemed to know nothing.

“Please wait until the end of the second year roll call.”

I left only these words and went straight up to the third floor.

I had to move quickly because it took a lot of time to inspect every room.

“female-! is the old man here? long time no see?”

When I go up to the third floor, Tiana with black ponytail greets me. The current 3rd year representative and the vanguard of the Diora line.

“I am not an old man, but a breeder… … ?”

“What’s so important about a name? Okay, since I’m tired from yesterday’s work, let’s quickly finish the roll call and rest quickly, huh?”

“Yes, I understand. Then please see.”

Perhaps because of the aftermath of yesterday’s group spirit, Tiana started reporting right away for some reason.

“Total 3rd graders 28, current members 27, 1 outsider, above.”

“ah? If you’re outside… … ?”

“Laylin, you haven’t returned from practice training yet.”

“… It must have been Lady Rayleen.”

I thought it was an outsider related to Derke, but unfortunately it wasn’t. Come to think of it, I returned late from training alone yesterday too… … .

“why? Shall I tell Raylin that I miss you?”

“yes?”

“Raylin has only been talking about you since the other day… It seems like you’ve become pretty close right now?”

“Thank you for your words. Then I will go up to the fourth floor.”

“Yes, yes. It’s the weekend tomorrow, so let’s finish early today?”

“All right.”

I wanted to check if Derke was on the 3rd floor, but I didn’t have the right to do so now that Raylin wasn’t there.

It would be quicker to ask Sofia if this happened.

ㅡTurbuck, turbuck, turbuck… !

After quickly completing the third grade roll call,

I climbed the stairs with quick steps.

Sophia would be able to help me properly.

“uh? what? Can you see anyone?”

But on the 4th floor, no one greeted me. Only the empty corridor comes into sight.

For some reason, I couldn’t even see the tip of Sophia’s veil… … .

“… Come here, come this way.”

“yes?”

The moment I looked around the hallway,

A familiar voice calls me.

It was definitely Sophia’s voice.

Her voice came from inside her private room. But for some reason Sophia’s figure was still not visible.

ㅡ Knap, Kkak… !

That would be the case, only Sophia’s white hand came out of the door and beckoned to me.

As if to come inside quickly.

ㅡ Creepy! Creepy!

But why does a sense of incongruity engulf the whole body?

For some reason, a foreboding feeling came to my skin.
