Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

"You actually thought so much?"

"Have you forgotten? My graduation thesis was about this," Aureliet said matter-of-factly. "'A Study of the Reproduction of Snow and Golden Lions'—that was what Professor Mira described as 'a marvelous work filled with humor and absurd art.'"

"..."

Ming Bolong's hair flickered again like a neon light, clearly indicating her excitement. However, she didn't say anything in the end. She simply glanced in the direction of the cold storage room and continued playing with her handheld game console.

Just like the "Platform Nine and Three Quarters" in the wizarding world, the cold storage they were in was only accessible to ancient dragons. Inside the cold storage room, Ritsu Narushe and the newly arrived ancient dragon were standing there observing their "raw materials."

The other person's hair color was strikingly similar to his own, medium-length gray hair with blood-red highlights, as if they were half-siblings. She looked very young, perhaps only in her early twenties at first glance. But knowing her, Naruse Ritsu knew that the ancient dragon before her was significantly older than Xuanhui Long.

Jue Silver Dragon - she is almost equivalent to the incarnation of vampire in the eyes of hunters, but now she calls herself "Belmont", a classic vampire hunter family, with a sense of humor.

"Pfft... A Tenkai Dragon? This is the first time I've seen a Tenkai Dragon frozen into a giant ball of ice."

The two ancient dragons that turned into human form seemed extremely small compared to the corpse in front of them. Looking at the corpse with a pointed head and split in two, Jue Yinlong sneered mercilessly.

After mocking the clown who had manipulated the virus but ended up dead due to a moment of negligence in a direct confrontation, she turned to look at Tianhuilong beside her: "How dare you treat the ancient dragon as a consumable material to develop medicine? You are the real madman... No, I should say 'mad dragon'."

"That name is too childish."

Seeing that Naruse Ritsu was showing some resistance, Belmont's smile became even more peculiar. "Studying the corpse of the ancient dragon, extracting its post-death value and squeezing it dry—in this respect, you are more worthy of the title of 'vampire' than I am."

From what she had seen and heard, humans had processed monster materials in various ways, some crude, some refined, but all based on the same principle.

Weapons, armor, and amulets—these are the three main things. Aside from scholars who delve into this field, few explore the mysteries of monsters themselves. Let alone develop medicines that humans can tolerate using ancient dragons as raw materials.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something strange, and a strange light flashed in her blood-red eyes: "You have a similar smell on you, do you need me to release some bugs to help you solve it?"

"Let's forget about the bloodletting therapy." After politely rejecting her "kindness", Ritsu Narose turned to talk about another matter.

[Monster Hunter]——The company originated in Romania as a "shell" for their convenient pharmaceutical research. Now, along with the arrival of Jue Yinlong, it has come to this island country in the form of a branch.

A by-product of their initial research and development - a special medicine with powerful hair growth function has now been launched on the market, achieving a win-win situation with its excellent efficacy and reputation.

A win-win situation means that they win both money and reputation.

However, just as growing organisms require nutrients, businesses in their expansion phase also require substantial capital infusions. Jue Yinlong, capable of physically eliminating his competitors, was too lazy to worry about such matters and chose to leave the matter to Ritsu Naruse.

"Don't you know that Jin Shanshan? Why don't you just ask her for the money?"

When he heard her proposal, Ritsu Narose refused it out of habit.

"I've told you before how humans make profits, right?" Clearing his throat, Ritsu Narose repeated the example he had given before.

"First, we select a property we already own—for example, a commercial street—and estimate its value at 100 million yuan. We then mortgage it to the bank for 90 million yuan."

"Then we'll get those 'enthusiastic' animal rights activists and white leftists to cause trouble on this commercial street, causing its estimated value to drop to 50 million instantly." Belmonte continued with a smile as he listened. "Finally, we'll use a shell company to buy it from a bank at a similar price. To avoid bad debts, banks generally won't refuse."

"In the end, we were able to reap tens of millions in profits simply by transferring money from one hand to the other."

After finishing the short drama filled with the darkness of human nature, Naruse Ritsu asked in confusion, "Don't you remember it very clearly?"

"Because it's very troublesome," Jue Yinlong spread his hands, looking uninterested. "I'm too lazy to waste time on that kind of thing."

19. Often, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

When it comes to "sustainable gold coin generation," Jue Yinlong is more persistent than Mingse Ritsu expected. Even if she is offered many "easy and simple" ways to make money, she chooses to reject them.

"Let me put it another way," Belmont said leisurely, crossing his legs and snapping his fingers. "Whether you, me, or them, if we want to live the life we ​​want here, a qualified bridgehead is essential. They will undoubtedly enjoy the benefits of our actions in the future, so it is reasonable to ask them to make contributions as members of this world's ancient dragons now."

"Even the gnawing insects in my hand know how to give back after they've eaten their fill. I'm sure they'll understand that too."

Knowing that it was pointless to continue insisting, Ritsu Narose simply stopped arguing with her and moved on to the next topic: "Which part of the Tianhuilong should be treated first?"

While he was communicating with his ally, Hachiman Kailing, who was in another space, was also listening to the heated discussion of his classmates.

During lunch break, the chattering high school girls talked about the same things. Today, the topic of their discussion naturally turned to "love".

As the girls were talking, someone with a curious mind soon turned the topic to Sanjiao Chuhua, who was smiling and listening to their chat.

"Speaking of which, Triangle-classmate, you're—" Before she could finish her words, another girl next to her elbowed her.

Touching the part that was hit by the elbow, she was about to attack, but she saw her best friend winking at her. Only then did she realize that she seemed to be asking the wrong person.

"Sorry, sorry..." She touched her head and smiled awkwardly.

Understanding why the other party cared so much, Sanjiao Chuhua had to say something to comfort him: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about me on this topic."

"But isn't Chuhua an idol? Discussing this kind of topic with us would be... uh, inappropriate?"

"There are indeed regulations in this regard, but they are not as strict as this."

The smile on his face was impeccable, and the students glanced at each other, knowing they had received permission. They couldn't wait to bring up the previous topic again and ask.

As for the answers they received, they were naturally very similar to what they expected.

For a popular idol like Sanjiao Chuhua who is currently active, it is impossible for her to have a so-called "lover" or "boyfriend".

--"but……"

——"Maybe I'll meet the person I like in my dream."

However, just when they thought that Sanjiao Chuhua's words would come to an end without any explosive points, Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly said this.

"Dream? That's too romantic~"

The rather ambiguous statement caused several people to look sideways. Even Hachiman Kailing, who had been leaning against the wall and playing with her phone while listening, couldn't help but turn her head to look at the table behind her.

"Then what kind of woman does YiOD doctor like? Wuwuwu——"

The reckless fellow once again struggled, his companion covering his mouth. Watching the two's performance, Sanjiao Chuhua gave an awkward but polite smile, then spoke in an unfathomable tone, "The person I like... should be the type that, even if I stumble a thousand times over him, I'd still be willing to stumble again for the thousandth time, right?"

The people around gave high praise to this romantic description, but Hachiman Kailing came up with a new idea while sighing.

According to her understanding, there are generally two ways to show that you like someone: one is to talk about it nonstop to everyone you meet, and the other is to keep it in your heart without saying a word.

The others thought that Sankaku Hatsuka's words were just her romantic fantasy, but in Hachiman Kailing's eyes, every word she said sounded true.

This doesn't look like acting - she thought.

Picking up the drink on the table and taking a sip, Hachiman Kailing suddenly felt several eyes focused on her.

"Student Hailing has been listening for so long, is she interested too?" one of them asked with a smile.

"Forehead……"

"Speaking of which, does Hailing-san have a crush on a guy or a lover..."

"Yes." She said lightly.

"Eh...Eh!?"

Several girls around exclaimed in surprise. In fact, it was not just them. Even Shiina Riki, who was originally lying on the table to rest and listening to their chat intentionally or unintentionally, sat up straight, as if he was shocked by the explosive news.

Looking around, Hachiman Kailing's expression remained unchanged: "Is it strange?"

"No, it's not that strange. It's just..."

"When did you meet Hailing-san? Is she a guitarist in a band? Or a loyal fan you met while cheering on her? Or maybe you're a childhood sweetheart..."

The melon-eater who was sealed by the elbow broke out of the blockade again. She rushed to Hachiman Kailing's table with great enthusiasm, curious about where the master came from who could defeat this cool sister.

"It's a shame, we just got to know each other casually." Hachiman Kailing shrugged nonchalantly, her tone quite calm, "There weren't any weird accidents or misunderstandings. I just felt he was a nice guy, so I tried to get along with him."

"That's a very cunning way of putting it, Hailing-san."

While Hachiman Kairin's words might have been true, they couldn't satisfy these hungry onlookers. Seeing they were still interested in exploring further, she finally realized that the "love topic" wasn't as simple as she'd imagined, and she began to secretly lament the consequences of her hasty words.

There was no way, Shiina Riki was still sitting in front of her, and she didn't intend to reveal the matter of Naruse Ritsu in front of her. Maybe other students couldn't tell who the boyfriend she was talking about was, but it was not certain for Riki...

"I remembered!"

Suddenly, the always lively girl clapped her hands and looked at Hachiman Hailing with shining eyes: "I remember seeing Hailing-san in the bookstore over the weekend."

...?

The drink flowing through the straw stagnated, the gaze from somewhere turned into surprise, and the sound of an empty drink box falling to the ground in front of him suddenly rang out.

At this moment, Hachiman Kailing felt her heart suddenly stop beating for a moment.

Of course, she still said in that calm tone: "Well, I'm just a temporary volunteer."

"But I remember that Hailing-san seemed to be with—"

Jingle Bell--

Before I could tell you what I had seen and heard that day, the bell signaling the end of lunch break suddenly rang.

The clamor that many students regarded as a death-threatening ghost now sounded like heavenly music to Hachiman Kailing's ears.

Seeing the curious baby dragging her good sister to the bathroom for team building during the last bit of time before class, Hachiman Kailing finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall to clear her mind.

And somewhere she didn't know, Sanjiao Chuhua was looking at her with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.

20. Gu Long Band disbanded

Perhaps because there was a band event nearby, Today Art Museum was particularly deserted.

In the huge venue, only those inanimate objects that carried history and thoughts, and two ancient dragons from another world stopped to admire.

Joyful and enthusiastic shouts of "happy!" and "smile~" could be heard from outside, adding a bit of life to the venue which was so silent that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

Art is a way to express oneself, so different art forms appeal to different groups, allowing each to enjoy their own unique perspective. If everyone understood the principle of remaining in one's comfort zone, undisturbed by the outside world while also not disturbing it, they would surely be much happier.

However, to Mingse Riku's regret, Jue Yinlong next to him did not agree with this.

A black coat draped over her shoulders, her white shirt and red scarf accentuating her sleek figure, she appears like a city stylist. Drawing on the insights gained from her long life, she continually expresses her own opinions on the exhibits, while also offering pointed and playful assessments of some "masters" who, in her view, overestimate their own abilities.

Hearing the cheerful music coming from outside, the Silver Dragon, which had been attacking the exhibits, immediately shifted its focus and began to criticize the band "Hello, Happy World!", whose name easily reminded people of a children's cult.

"Uh...but they're obviously not in the same style as 'Happy Tree Friends', right?" Ritsu Narose tactfully objected to her accusation based on groundless associations caused by conjunctions.

"Do you know them?" she asked.

Ritsu Narushe shook his head.

"Then why are you speaking for them?"

Ritsu Narose rolled his eyes and looked at her silently.

It is obvious that the other party belongs to the type of person who only helps his relatives and not the others... No, it should be said that he is the type of person who "does whatever he wants".

In order to entertain this ally who came from afar, and also to improve the other party's favorability to facilitate the tasks to be completed in the next period of time, after admiring the corpse of Tianhuilong, he took the initiative to act as a tour guide to lead the other party for a stroll in the city.

Taking out his phone to check the time, Naruse Ritsu said, "I think it's almost time to go back and discuss the matter of Tianhuilong."

"Heh—you, you're really obsessed with yourself."

It was difficult for Ritsu Narushe to treat this senior who was stronger than him and willing to help him with the same casual attitude he had towards his other old friends. However, whenever he wanted to show this senior some respect, she would speak.

Leaving the exhibition hall, the sound of music not far away was like an oncoming bowling ball passing through their eardrums.

Looking at that place with a look of disdain, Belmont continued to complain, "Letting a teddy bear like that be the DJ—that daughter of the Genjumaki family—is way too outrageous."

"That's just a human wearing a doll costume." Ritsu Narose kindly reminded.

"Is that so... Isn't that even weirder?"

"Anyway, those kinds of flashy, blindingly bright bands don't really suit my style at all—in fact, they're the complete opposite!" Glancing at Naruse Ritsu, she asked, "Don't you think so, too?"

“It’s really hard to imagine.”

Naruse Ritsu gave a perfunctory nod and prepared to leave. However, Belmont, expressing his disdain, remained where he was, observing the makeshift stage with an uncertain gaze.

Snapping her fingers, her tone suddenly became enthusiastic: "What do you think about us forming a band?"
