Travel through the daily life of the dragon clan

Chapter 532: You Really Know
"What are you looking at?"

"A manual for protecting safety. Zero wrote it for me and told me to read it and remember it first."

If you remember these words before you actually come into contact with the world of dragons, you will be more mentally prepared. This self-protection guide, organized in a loose-leaf binder, was handed to Zero along with these words before he left.

Zhuo was sitting on a stone outside the Black Stone Residence, facing the dark ocean. The deserted private beach looked withered and grayish. Compared to the cherry trees with a more literary style, Zhuo still preferred to stay quietly in such secluded places.

When Zhuo was reading the content above, Su Enxi noticed it and walked towards him.

From the importance of basic precautions to methods of identifying weapons and poisons, as well as the names, types, and effects of the word spirits that he was not good at dealing with, the manual organized all the things that must be remembered in this job.

Zhuo had heard Ling talk about it on weekdays, so it was not difficult to remember the effects and specific content of some of the Word Spirits. However, he also had to remember the effects, feelings, and differences after being hit by various Word Spirits. When he really encountered them, he must be able to identify which type of Word Spirit it was, and use the environment around him before being hit to find a solution.

Perhaps Ling was also aware of Zhuo's weaknesses, so he mainly classified them as spiritual words. This type of words will not manifest in the real world, so except for the person who casts it, it is difficult for others to distinguish what kind of words it is and what effects it has.

Take the representative high-risk word spirit, Dream Tapir, as an example:
People who are affected by the nightmare tapir will fall into countless layers of superimposed dreams. In that fantasy that is completely indistinguishable from reality, if the person believes that he or she is dead, the brain will also judge that "he or she is dead" and send a signal to stop the body's metabolic activities, and he or she will really die.

Even if the person in the dream realizes that he is in a dream, there is still no way to escape.

At this time, how to use external force to stay awake is the key.

This knowledge was unexpectedly difficult to learn, so Zhuo decided to read it carefully when he had time.

“Can something like this be written in a short time?”

"It's just Zero's daily experience and guesses about this, so there's no problem. Zero seems to have been preparing for this a long time ago. When I asked, he said there was nothing confidential about it, but he still hoped that I wouldn't go."

Zhuo understood the reason for Su Enxi's surprise. He had just received the notice of the operation last night, and had already sorted out a note that needed attention today. Even Ling couldn't write it out overnight. But if he had prepared it long ago, it wouldn't be a problem.

The reason why Ling gave it to him was probably because he was worried about himself, but on the other hand, he also trusted that Zhuo would remember it.

Because he also doesn't want Ling and Sa Chiko to worry about his own affairs, Zhuo will try to write these things down as early as possible to avoid any accidents that will worry them.

Besides, if he didn't familiarize himself quickly, he might really run into trouble that "vector operations" couldn't solve, so for his own safety, Zhuo read the manual very carefully.

By the way, Uesugi Eriya, who usually came over in her spare time, did not come to Zhuo's side this time, but went to sit on the cliff further ahead.

Maybe it was because he saw Zhuo was reading attentively.

Zhuo shifted his gaze away from Su Enxi and returned to the text in the manual, engraving them into his mind one by one, and they were absorbed by the 'great sage' who was ready for battle.

Seeing this, Su Enxi sighed with a complicated look.

"It's really something that Sanwu would do. Maybe even if she guessed that this day would happen sooner or later, she still held on to the hope of 'what if', so she didn't give it to you until the very end. Of course, the fundamental reason is still love."

"How dare you say that—"

After all, she was also a contributor to the arrival of "this day". Even though Zhuo volunteered, he still felt a strong resentment after being told this by the person involved. He couldn't help but choke back, but the cold voice didn't seem to have any effect on Su Enxi. She just kept smiling:

"Oh my~ I didn't expect that the man who looked disgusted and didn't even let Sanwu in would change so much... Love is really great. Should I find a boyfriend too?"

"What are you trying to do by teasing me all the time? Are you trying to piss me off?"

"No, no, no, calm down, calm down. I just feel...how should I put it, I feel very dazzling."

"Then go back and put on your blindfold and cover yourself with the quilt, and don't bother me here."

"Don't be so stingy~~"

"If you really have nothing to do, then go find a boyfriend. You clearly don't want one, yet you still dare to say that."

In the corner of her eye, she saw Su Enxi sitting down next to her, with her elbows on her legs and her chin resting on her palms, looking out to the sea.

Even though she was teasing Zhuo with these things, Zhuo knew that she had no ill intentions. To be honest, she probably showed up because she saw the helplessness hidden in Zhuo's heart.

Su Enxi often behaved weak and out of tune, but Zhuo also knew that in other places, Su Enxi must be regarded as a queen who did not color others. She just rarely showed this side to her friends.

Zhuo raised his head from the manual and looked at Su Enxi, but he only got a vague response from her with a fake smile: "Ah - are you talking about me?"

"You asked if you wanted to find a boyfriend, but you didn't have any such idea at all. You haven't even considered having a boyfriend."

"Ahahaha, I've thought about that too."

"You can say that, but they are just strange characters in novels or comics."

"No!"

"Then why is your skirt bulging?"

"... Oh well - never mind. I'll admit it. My boyfriend is in a fantasy world -"

"…your boss?"

Zhuo was dumbfounded when he heard such an unexpected and frank response. Although he probably guessed that Su Enxi would not like other boys, it was quite complicated to hear the person involved admit it so calmly.

When Su Enxi saw his surprised expression, she instead put on a meaningful smile.

"You see, I knew you would ask this, so I was just being coy. Don't underestimate a woman's acting skills, Mr. New Husband who just started working."

"I can't deny it... because you always give people the impression that you are unreliable."

"That's my true self, and I haven't reached the point where I need anyone's approval... Because of my bloodline, I've been smarter than other kids since I was a kid—"

"We usually call this precocious puberty."

"Because of my bloodline, I matured early."

Su Enxi gave him a resentful look and said unhappily. Even though she didn't show it, Zhuo realized that she might be talking about something serious, so he lowered his eyebrows in apology.

Zhuo had a very vague impression of Su Enxi, probably because the "Dragon Clan" after "Dragon Three" lacked a lot of feeling, and the only impression of "Dragon Four" that remained was the segment of "the king descended from the sky, angry and ferocious". After that, he lacked interest in "Dragon Five" and lost the patience to read on.

If he had to say something, Zhuo could only say that he vaguely remembered that Su Enxi's story did appear... probably.

"My grandmother raised me alone. After she died, I went out on my own and was later discovered by a casino owner. I was in charge of gambling there and helped that big-bellied guy make a lot of money. Then the owner found me." "That's it?"

"It's over."

Zhuo originally thought that there would be a story with ups and downs, but the story ended before the picture in his mind was formed.

It must be very hard for a child to be alone outside, and people who run a casino would not take in a little girl out of kindness. They probably don't want to reveal the hardships involved - this is probably how things look from Zhuo's perspective. He thinks Su Enxi is a strong girl who probably doesn't need comfort and sympathy from others.

In fact, it seemed that Su Enxi saw through his inner thoughts immediately and refuted them immediately. She looked him in the eyes and said, "Even if it's a casino, it's the result of overcoming all difficulties after escaping from the brothel."

It's better not to ask how a little girl like her ended up in a brothel and how much effort it took to ensure that the best outcome was that the little girl stayed in the casino to help others win money.

"I don't mind helping people gamble, but I hate being bossed around. I knew the difference between boys and girls when I was three, but now that I've started to grow, I still have to be watched before I can go to the bathroom?! Sigh, but since I'm important, the content should be innocuous, not as dramatic as the three-no stuff."

It’s better not to say things like why I haven’t seen any results yet since I started to develop, and whether I’m still trying hard.

The most severe supervision that Zhuo had seen was probably the discipline that Uncle Okagi gave to Yurina. If it was strict, it could only be seen as "not wanting Yurina to be a girl who goes with the flow". In fact, he neither controlled the friends she associated with on campus nor restricted her freedom on weekdays. Apart from that, Zhuo had never seen any other kind of discipline.

Zhuo originally came from a model family, and his parents respected his wish to go to a big city alone. They even gave him more than the standard living expenses.

It was impossible to imagine, so Zhuo wondered if she was often abused, and after she grew up, she was targeted by others because of her exquisite body. However, Su Enxi simply denied it.

"No, I thought of many ways to escape. I could even deal with the micro-bomb on my neck, but I gave up because I was too lazy to move."

"...too lazy...to change places?"

Zhuo heard an answer he could not imagine, so he looked at her in dumbfoundedness. Su Enxi responded with a wry smile.

"I knew you would do this, so I didn't want to tell you. Well, this is just my impulsiveness, but you can also say that I am too lazy."

"...Is it the same with your current boss?"

After confirming that there was no one else around, Zhuo lowered his voice and asked.

Since Uesugi Eri probably wouldn't understand what was being said even if she heard it, and Lu Mingze (the boss) was the type that couldn't be guarded against, Zhuo's caution could only be regarded as self-consolation.

"That may be the case. You can also say that I signed the contract with the boss so that I can survive after leaving the casino."

"..."

This was something that was totally unexpected - Zhuo's silly expression, unable to continue the conversation, showed this point.

Su Enxi was neither surprised nor angry after seeing his performance. Instead, her smile widened even more.

"Are you shocked? There are three of us following the boss. One is out of gratitude, one is out of boredom, and the last one has bad intentions towards the boss... Can you guess which one is the third one?"

"…Good people usually don't say they are good people."

"Zhuo, are you making indirect accusations?"

"Yes, Zero should be the bored one, because she has the three-pointed world-weary face. You are the one who has ulterior motives."

The veins on her hands bulged slightly, a "井" shape appeared on her forehead, and then she bounced up on the spot, yelling "Bullshit", and raised her little fists... The consequence of this might hurt herself, so the smart Su Enxi just forced a helpless smile, then reached out and rubbed Zhuo's head.

He won’t even get angry in this situation—Yu Ci Zhuo can finally recognize him as a man who can bend and stretch.

Think of it...

"Your boss transferred you..."

Zhuo paused and continued, "...Is it managed so well?"

"No matter which word you use, it's not right," Su Enxi pinched Zhuo's head hard, and after making sure that the force would bounce back to her, she said, "But it's true that you're not as irritating as the boss who simply sold all his shares because the game was not fun, and the long-legged guy who threw luxury goods around like disposable rags."

"That's ridiculous."

"I'm not complimenting you."

After saying this, the two of them looked at the sea in silence for a moment.

"Come to think of it, it's fine to come out to read, but why not use an umbrella? Won't the ink spread and make it hard to see?"

"It's written on waterproof paper, so there's no problem."

"Ah, Sanwu is really thoughtful."

“An insincere compliment.”

The rain was still falling, and their clothes were wet and stuck to their skin.

A crow flew by in the night sky, croaking, and in its mouth you could vaguely see a small silver fish still struggling. It stared with its eyes wide open, as if it couldn't believe that it was about to die.

Su Enxi and Zhuo seemed to feel nothing and looked towards the sea in silence.

"Ah, Zhuo has changed so much, he remains calm even when the sky is falling. No one can imagine that a man who can sit calmly after seeing such a scene is actually a otaku who only likes cool pretty girls."

"I'm not that calm, but I've known this day would come, so I've prepared myself mentally many times."

"You can really see the future just like the boss!!!"

Outside the moonless mountain residence, the soaking wet girl jumped up and pointed at the man next to her and shouted.

wash:"……"

Were all those sincere exchanges of sincerity the preparations for this bad woman?

Ah! woman.
