“Isn’t it strange?” I started. “You told me that Rustaval are a country of demi-humans that hate humans, but why did I see some humans loitering around the streets freely?”
I spoke while scrolling a random chapter of the earlier parts of the novel. Of course, the novel didn’t talk much about Rustaval, but I kinda remembered Kuzan, one of the love interests, told Minerva about his background when the two of them were about to attack Andorhal, a kingdom located east of Edith, where there are still demi-human slavery going on.
Kuzan has a deep hatred for humans, yet he somehow fall in love with Minerva and would always assist her if she wanted to conquer a place, mostly with politics, because he’s good with his mouth. But with Andorhal, a physical battle took place, and yeap, Carter is in it, and he got injured, and yada yada, plot progressions, relationship thicken, plot chickens, and their like towards each other increased a bit
Elfina[After Suna left her with the villagers]“Just what do you guys think you are doing?!” Elfina complained angrily. In front of her, sitting while guiltily looking at each other, were the villagers that grouped together to drive away Suna from their village. In front of the villagers were the village head, also looking down to the ground in guilt.“W-We are very sorry for acting so rashly, your highness. But even if that dragon did save you, we wouldn’t know what the dragon might do to our small village, hence the effort.” The village head reasoned. As his mouth moved, his long greyish beard move along with its motion.Elfina began to ponder from the village head’s words. It’s true that she and the dragon named Suna only know each other for about a day. She wouldn’t even know if the dragon’s kind demeanours were truly her persona, or something she created on a whim. Some dragons are known to be pl
Suna “Why is the pixie trembling like that?” I unconsciously muttered. “…She’s scared.” I heard an answer from beside me and turned to see Clairmont looking in the direction of my gaze. He probably heard what I said. I passed my glance between him and the pixie. When he said it like that, the pixie did look terrified. She was floating at only one spot and silently looking down on the ground. “…Hm.” I feel like asking her why. “Do you think it’s possible for me to go there and talk to her?” I whispered to Clairmont. He raised an eyebrow before eyeing the surrounding. “Let the king finish what he said first. When the party started, we can go there and you can talk all you want. You aren’t as keen in this situation, but do know that all eyes are upon us right now.” Clairmont whispered back. I immediately shot my eyes to the people nearby. Like Clairmont said, all the people present inside the hall had their focus divided between us and Kuzan. Some shot glances at us while some just
SunaI can’t believe I am having a stroll with a princess. Back in my old world, the royalties are pretty strict with their securities. So, the royal family members rarely interact with commoners on normal ground. It’s either for political purpose, or to look good in front of the media. I too, didn’t get the chance to see the royal princess in flesh back in my old world, even from afar.But right now, now that I am in this world, not only did I save a princess, I also got the chance to have a stroll with them!Mielle tried to hold in her yawn. For someone so small and cute, she looked adorable, especially when she’s sitting on my shoulders as I walked.“Pardon me.” She covered her mouth and paused a bit, before putting her hand down. “I’m sorry for sitting on your shoulders. Do tell me if your shoulder gets tired.” Mielle then said.What are you talking about~?You are too light for my sh
Suna“Do you think they will tell us who they worked with if we threatened them?” I stepped beside Clairmont, who was eyeing the assassins he captured.“Maybe, maybe not.” Clairmont shrugged. While he did, I saw some of the assassins tried to struggle free from Clairmont’s detaining magic. All of them had their mouths covered, so it’s hard for them to even scream. Clairmont also said that those assassins had an emblem engraved on their tongue for the purpose of suicide if their mission were to fail, so he also detained the movements of their jawline by messing with their acupuncture points.“This ain’t some shaolin novel, though.” I eyed the floating assassins, once again having my focus strayed off from the main discussion.“Since when acupuncture points belong to shaolin genre?” Clairmont replied. “Acupuncture points are basically pressure points that alter bodily systems if pressed
SunaThe first quarter of the chapters of the novel explained to the readers about the love interests who were there with the female lead since the start of the story, or should I say, the love interest that the readers knew would be the love interest.If I were to say, then there should be Carter, the crown prince, Kaizel, the second prince, Liam, the elf king, Kuzan, the guild master, Azel, the head of the mercenary group, Cairne, and the commander for the first knight squadron, Heron. Some other love interests were introduced late into the story, like the angel, Kaoli, this Clairmont right here, and the demon lord’s first general, Ivran. I bet you guys think about wow, what a load of love interests. I seem to forget telling you that the web novel has a ‘harem’ tag on it. So, of course, the female lead would be surrounded by a bunch of male leads, but she will ultimately fell in love with Carter.But.That’s not what I wanted to
SunaOkay, calm down, me.Breathe in, breathe out.Nothing is going to happen.Everything will be okay-“What are you doing?” I flinched at Clairmont’s voice calling me from beside me.“Uhm…” I dithered, before shooting him a nervous glance. “It’s nothing.” Then I broke into a nervous grin.Clairmont heaved a long sigh and shifted his gaze forward. The two of us then went silent after that short interaction.The rising sun shone brightly upon the pavement path outside. Given its degree of intensity, which isn’t that hot, a lot of people went out from their homes and began their day, adventurers looking for quests, merchants opening their stores, hawkers selling their goods. Even inside the guild building, it was filled with the hustle and bustle of the people around.I was lucky that my surroundings were noisy. If it was too quiet, I might succumb to my unneede
SunaMy eyes darted towards my front.In front of us, standing a few feet away, were three unknown strangers. Each of them was wearing a black cloak that covered down until their ankles. I couldn’t discern their faces because their hood literally covered their face, and only displayed their mouths. But I could make sense of one thing, and that is, the person standing in the middle was shorter than the two standing on the sides.The surrounding people didn’t seem to notice them, as if there was a barrier established between them, and us.“Space isolation.” Clairmont telepathically said, his face still serene. “These three people seemed to have a business with us. They have been following us since we left the guild building.”My jaw dropped a little.“You-! If you knew that we’re being followed, why didn’t you tell me about it?” I scolded, also telepathicall
Saul“We have brought the adventurers with us.” The man showed the two SS-ranked adventurers behind him. Suna Mikiya, and Clairmont Rodrigar. The girl named Suna Mikiya has a clean and innocent look on her face. Her bright frosty blue eyes were wide and friendly, and her rosy lips curved to form a warm smile. Contrary to Suna’s friendly looks, Clairmont Rodrigar’s expression was calm and aloof. Despite his demeanour, his appearance is an embodiment of fury in itself; bronze skin and raven eyes. His eyes were the shade of gold with a slight hue of red.Their appearance which are different from the mass population somehow showcased their prowess, and further solidify the rank that they achieved. Although, the outfit that they wear were no more than an ordinary white tunic, with a black skirt that covered until the knees for the girl, and a pair of black trousers for the guy.Still, by the time the two of them bowed down their heads in front
(TMI! It’s TMI I tell you!)(Suna’s POV)It was almost night time when we returned to Varain. I wasn’t as tired as when I fought the earth dragon, but it did feel pretty tiring answering question about how me and Clairmont managed to defeat the entire population of goblins in a single day, when we arrived at the adventurer’s guild to submit our quest.“Their interrogation reminded me again of why I hate mingling with lesser races.” Clairmont commented, while he enjoyed some tea that I brewed.“Uhm, I too am a lesser race, you know?” Carter, who was daydreaming by himself, suddenly answered.His reply earned a chuckle from me and a grimace from Clairmont.“Clairmont, that’s not a nice thing to say. You will hurt someone if you say that to their faces.” And let’s not forget, I was a human before I became a dragon too. But fair enough, I too felt like the amou
(That's the main character alright)(Suna’s POV)“Thank you so much for saving us!” While I hover about the ground and slowly landed on its earthly surface, I saw Minerva walking towards me. There was this wide smile that she showed us, looking particularly glad and satisfied, that it showed a glint in her mesmerizing crimson eyes.She shot a smile between me and Clairmont, before continuing her unending praise. “The two of you are amazing earlier. I don’t know what will happen if you guys didn’t come.” Minerva said. Her cheekbones that align well with her face structure, making them look full but not too plump, was blushed with a soft red hue. She was blushing, and I felt like I would too, if she looked at me like that.All I could do was sheepishly giggle, a habit my body couldn’t help but do when I feel awkward, while Clairmont—who stood by my side—was throwing his eyes out
(A fan meeting yeay!)(Suna’s POV)[Several minutes earlier…]“I’m hungry.”My eyes deadpanned him. “Are you seriously hungry right now? We are on an emergency mission to save Carter, you know?”“Well, but I can’t do anything if I’m hungry, okay? Don’t you have any snacks that you can buy from your skill? Like an ice cream or something?” He whined.I grimaced at him. “I see what you’re on about. You’re trying to coax me into buying you an ice cream, huh? I won’t buy anything until we save Carter-!”GGRRROOOWLLL….The surroundings went silent.Clairmont bashfully pursed his lips and rubbed his belly. “…I told you I’m hungry.”His statement won another grimace from me, because I didn’t expect for him to be honest. He’s usually either sly, or strange. But he
(Saviour) Carter The hammering in his chest rendered his fingers to tremble, while also numbing his senses towards the surroundings. The people’s chattering, the slightly chilly atmosphere, and even the bright sun seemed to cancel out in the presence of this unknown girl. What is this? Why was he feeling this way? “Tell me, who are you?” The female stopped chatting with what Carter presume her teammates, and turned to look at him with a thin smile on her rosy lips. The wind was gently blowing against them, making the side bangs that framed her face flowed softly. Carter felt choked of his own words, and looked down in embarrassment. The toned-down atmosphere became even quiet. “My name is Minerva, Minerva Lyle Williams.” She rested her hands on her hips, and widened her smile. “Now that I’ve introduced myself, might as well give me your name.” Carter instantly froze. The hammering against his chest didn’t seem like it will stop soon, and for some reason, he was feeling pretty b
(The end. Yeah right.)(Suna’s POV)In an instant, the two of us stayed still, patiently checking Carter.“…He really is walking away from us.” I repeated, while turning behind my shoulders to look at Clairmont. The glinting hue of deep gold in his eyes indicated the activation of his power, and by his nodding, he seemed to feel the same.I returned my focus to my radar. The Carter in my radar looked more like a circular dot tinted in light green, meaning that he’s an ally. Otherwise, all the dots in my radar, which represents other existence, is either white, for neutral creep or weak enemy, or red, representing an existence of severe hostility.For the time being, I zoomed in my radar to see Carter up close. His dot turned into the close-up view of him walking through the forest, like a CCTV camera or something. His transcend through the forest looked unstable. Like he was walking without a destination
(Upheaval)CarterWhile the ground shook every once in a while, and loud and shrill shrieks could be heard filling the forest, Carter was anxiously scanning his surroundings. It all started when Suna told him via telepathy that she would be sending something in his way. But the problem was, he missed the chance to ask what it really was. He remembered guessing whether it was an enemy or not, but she just told him not to worry.Which made him even frantic.Carter is in no way prominent in fighting, nor even guarding, so he was sure that this wasn’t a great idea, for whatever thing one of his benefactors asked to keep an eye on. However, he was also not that prominent in magic to be able to bridge a telepathic communication with Suna to respond to her.For the countless amount of time, Carter swallowed nervously. He was starting to feel pain from his oesophagus, as he was swallowing only air for how wary he was towards his surroun
(A battle begun)Suna“Huh?” Carter started to panic after hearing that. “Wh-What should we do about them?”I passed my glance at Clairmont.“Do I look like that to you before?” I asked.Clairmont grimaced at me. “Well, just like that, but whinier and louder.”I shielded my face and proceeded to memetically mouthed an OH. That was a pure insult, but I have nothing to say because I can be gross sometimes.“We do nothing, obviously.” Clairmont said, replying to Carter while taking off his cloak and placing it inside his inventory. Following him, I did the same before adjusting my braid.For some reason, white tunic, black pants or skirts, and a pair of brown leather boots have become a go-to outfit for both me and Clairmont. Maybe because it’s easy to acquire them, even though I could buy a myriad of outfits from the [ONLINE SHOPPING
Repeat after me: Flick and SpankSuna“Hey, Clairmont.” I muttered to him, without giving him a glance as I etched my eyes on the chieftain’s shenanigans of opening and closing his mouth. Those armor looks heavy, especially that contraption-something protecting his neck. “I think my eyes are playing tricks with me.”Clairmont shot me a side-eye. “You’re saying?”“I am not the only one who sees her, didn’t I?” Clairmont glanced to the chieftain again. “Oh, you’re right. There is a girl beside the goblin chieftain…” His voice trailed off; shock laced his tone little by little.“Why?” His face scrunched into a puzzled frown. I don’t even know, Clairmont, so that confusion didn’t help me much.In the entire spectrum of panorama my eyes could see, this greenish and crude view in front of me is intervened by the un
SunaFrom architectural sense, Varain is quite different than Rustaval. Probably because it’s a town governed by mostly humans, I can say, it fits exactly what a stereotypical medieval town would look like. Bustling streets with a little less hygiene and livestock frolicking about, wanting to be sold, hawker yelling the freshness of their products, less magical looking adventurer guild, and…Goblins.“Ugh…” I unconsciously scowled.Now don’t get me wrong there. I don’t harbour any hostile intent towards the race people called ‘goblins’, I just deeply… despise them. You know, like when you don’t know the truth and blindly dislike someone you barely even know?Yeah, like that, netizens.Another reason why those greenskins irked me to a certain degree, was because the insurmountable amount of mangas and animes stating their notoriety. Imp-like creature that likes
