A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

This is indeed the legendary childhood trauma...

"Mr. Bray, anyway... please put my sister down first." Xiaoxue's face turned pale instantly.

Why could Bray suddenly appear in the Spring Wolf Forest without them seeing any warning?

"Why are you here?" Xiaoxue asked, puzzled, after calming herself down.

“I had Nicol Bolas clear the way for me because I wanted either of you to do me a small favor,” Bray said.

He had no intention of intimidating the twin dragons; he simply came to ask for their help.

"Mr. Bray, you go first. If it's within our capabilities, we'll definitely help," Xiaoxue said helplessly, glancing at her sister who had gone limp as soon as she was lifted up.

"It's nothing, I just wanted you guys to help Naruko celebrate her birthday." Bray finally let go and put Xiaoyou back on the ground.

Actually, Bray didn't lift Little You off the ground; at most, he just grabbed her by the collar.

It felt like He had the back of his neck gripped by fate.

"So that's all there is to it." Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please, Mr. Bray, don't scare us like that next time."

"?" "Help me!!!"

"Dead fish eyes, what are you doing!" Naruko shouted in a panic as she was tied to the chair.

After finishing her dinner, she wanted to play with Nia, but unexpectedly, she was tied to a chair by Bray.

And it's outside the safe zone! Outside the safe zone!

Bray glanced at Levy on the left, then at Nia on the right, and then made a shushing gesture.

"Shhh."

“Shh~” Levy and Nia both put their fingers to their lips =V=, cooperating perfectly with Bray.

"What are you all booing for? Don't do anything reckless! Isn't it my birthday soon? What are you doing?!" Naruko cried, struggling incessantly.

Help! She's not celebrating her birthday.

No, it's not her birthday yet; there's still one day until her birthday.

"Celebrating your birthday early," Bray said expressionlessly, without a trace of joy.

"Ughhhhh, tying the birthday person to a chair, what kind of birthday celebration is this?!" Naruko wanted to burst into tears, but the problem was she couldn't.

Just a few seconds ago she was chuckling to herself, thinking about when to trick Bray into bed, and the next second she was tied up.

Is this the legendary retribution? But... this can actually have retribution?! It's obvious that I'm the one who suffered the loss.

"Be good, you're going to be blindfolded." While saying this line, Bray's expression remained unchanged.

"No, I don't want any surprises, just buy me any cake." Naruko kicked her legs, still trying to struggle.

Blindfolding her was supposed to be a surprise for her, right? But she didn't feel surprised at all; she was only frightened.

"This feels like a kidnapping, not a birthday celebration for me." Naruko gave up resisting because she was exhausted.

"Eek!" The next second, without her resisting, she was blindfolded.

"That idiot pink-haired guy is such a nuisance," Bray muttered.

"You're insulting me, aren't you? Even though I can't hear you clearly, my intuition tells me you were just insulting me!" Naruko started causing trouble again.

Ignoring her struggles, Bray picked her up, chair and all.

"I...I prefer you to hug me directly, can I not use this chair?" It was rare for Bray to hug me, but I didn't expect it to be the kind where I hugged the chair along with him.

Bray continued to ignore Naruko's fuss and placed her on the back of the nearby black dragon.

"Ugh..." the black dragon let out a frustrated growl, the chair making his back uncomfortable.

By the way, Xiao You was tricked into coming here by Bray.

At first, Xiaoyou thought that helping Naruko celebrate her birthday was the kind of help she imagined, like eating, drinking, and doing odd jobs.

But He never imagined that He was there to serve as a vehicle.

Not only herself, but even Xiaoxue was unable to escape the clutches of evil, and her younger sister had to carry Levy and Nia.

"Little...Little Yu!?" Upon hearing this indistinct murmur, Naruko instantly realized that she was on the back of something.

"Yes, it's me..." Xiao You replied weakly.

It is, after all, a dragon, a silver species, and an existence that would make even iron species scatter in all directions.

It would be good to give Him even the slightest bit of face.

"Takeoff." Bray patted Xiao You's head rather rudely.

Okay, He doesn't care about saving face.

The Gemini Dragons then took off in a rather humiliating manner.

Two enormous dragons, carrying a small group of people, soared into the sky.

Although the twin dragons are still young, their exaggerated wings are enough to blot out the sky.

They didn't possess the same advanced magic as Nicholas to completely avoid the wind, but by applying their own concepts, they still managed to prevent the person on their back from being thrown off.

Although Xiaoyou really wanted to do it, she calmed down because she had to bear the consequences.

The strong winds high in the sky whipped against the two people carried by the black dragon, but Bray and Naruko didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, they quite liked the feeling of the cold wind blowing.

"Alright, I'm going to untie you now." Now that we're high in the sky, there's no need to keep her tied up.

Even if Naruko were brave, she wouldn't jump from a great height.

Bray tied Naruko up purely for...fun.

Yes, you read that right. He was just doing it for fun and definitely didn't mean he found Naruko annoying.

Bray cut the rope with a single sword stroke.

Naruko stood up from the chair in the next second, grabbed the chair hard, and threw it off the dragon's back.

She didn't care whether the chair would shatter into pieces or turn into a shooting star.

Anyway, it won't hit anyone, since there's absolutely no one around outside the safe zone.

Not only that, she also roughly tore off the strip of cloth covering her.

"I'm free!" Naruko clenched her fist and slammed her elbow hard.

"Congratulations on your liberation." After thinking for a few seconds, Bray decided to clap along with Naruko.

You know, he rarely does such foolish things, but he compromised for Naruko's birthday.

"So what's the point of tying me up?" Naruko lunged at Bray, speaking fiercely.

Bray didn't flinch, but instead wore a thoughtful expression.

If he had dodged it, that idiot Naruko would probably have flown right off the black dragon's back.

"Are you saying you're just doing this for fun?"

"..." Bray was shocked and looked at Naruko in disbelief.

This guy may be an idiot, but his intuition is amazing; he hit the nail on the head right away.

"You...you really were just doing this for fun." Noticing Bray's gaze, even a fool would know that Naruko had hit the nail on the head.

Naruko was furious, but what could she do if she couldn't beat the opponent?

"Pretty exciting, right? I've heard it's called 'placement play'," Bray said calmly.

"This isn't just idle play, this is pure kidnapping." Naruko couldn't help but criticize Bray's thought process.

"Really?" Bray was a little skeptical of the idiot's statement.

"Hmph." Naruko snorted coldly, but she never let go of the hands that were holding Bray's waist from beginning to end.

“By the way, look down. Xiaoyou should have descended by now and should be able to see what I made.” Bree said to Naruko. Naruko didn’t have a fear of heights and wasn’t worried that she would tremble if she looked down.

"What are you looking at?" Naruko asked, puzzled, and then followed Bray's gaze.

It was a vast, desolate land.

Apart from abandoned buildings, there should have been nothing in the wasteland.

Naruko saw a large, lit-up pattern.

A bird with a flower in its beak is poised to take flight.

The flower happened to be the same kind that grew in front of my door.

"Pfft—" Naruko laughed.

“How tacky! Can’t you keep up with the trends?” she whispered, hugging Bray tightly.

"I don't understand such complicated things." Bray thought he was good for nothing except swords, so creating this thing was already his limit.

“Look at that bird’s head, doesn’t it look like you?” Naruko asked excitedly, pointing at the pattern.

"And this line, it's crooked."

She kept saying the patterns were tacky and corny, but no matter how you looked at her, she was as happy as a child. Some people imagine that one day their ideal lover will hold their hand and stroll through a flower garden.

Some people have imagined that the person they like would whisper tender and ambiguous words to them.

When Naruko was a wanderer on the path of love, she also thought about it.

But a long time ago, she stopped thinking about it.

How long ago exactly? She couldn't remember exactly.

It was definitely a very, very long time ago, a very, very long time ago for her.

However, from the moment she fell in love with Blakeras, that dead fish-eyed guy, there was no longer any so-called dream lover.

She herself had a somewhat hazy memory of how she fell for this dead-fish-eyed guy, but it certainly wasn't love at first sight.

Initially, she disliked Bray quite a bit, and she remembered that he also disliked her intensely.

Although they still dislike each other, the nature of their dislike has changed.

My husband and I never felt like the sweet and loving family we had imagined.

It's noisy and not sweet at all; it can also cause serious harm from time to time.

However, she didn't dislike this kind of life; in fact, she enjoyed it. She felt that this was the best answer she had received after searching for so long for what she called a relationship.

She put her hands behind her head and looked up at the starry sky.

The twin dragons, Levy and Nia, all went off to play by themselves, leaving only Bray lying next to her.

She and Bray were surrounded by countless lights, each one shining just the right light.

You can also faintly hear the joyful sounds of children playing.

"Did you find this place?" Naruko asked Bree, who was lying next to her, with a slight smile on her lips.

"I asked around, I think I asked several people," Bray replied casually. It didn't really matter how much effort it took to find it; the important thing was that he'd found it now.

"Isn't it beautiful? I think it's quite lovely," he said quietly.

“If even you think it’s beautiful, how could it not be beautiful?” Naruko replied with a grin.

Bray's thought process is so peculiar it's beyond imagination, yet he still finds this starry sky dreamlike and enchanting, which is enough to prove how beautiful this place is.

Lying down and raising my head, I felt as if I were enveloped by the entire starry sky, with every inch of the heavens seemingly within reach.

Even though lying down should have made me farther away from the stars, I had the strange feeling of being closer to the world.

The surrounding lights resembled a "starry sky on the ground," reflecting off the sky above.

“I really like this gift,” Naruko said playfully, kicking her long legs a few times.

"But what if I don't like it?"

"I'll revise it until you like it," Bray said nonchalantly.

"Can you change it?"

“It can be changed,” Bray said confidently.

There's nothing that can't be changed. If he can't do it himself, he can find someone else to help him.
