A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Bang!" The girl suddenly stood up, knocking the chair over.

"Thank you." She held the hem of her skirt and bowed to the priest.

She had heard many people tell her things like "Ignore those people" or "Let them talk."

If we could just ignore it, we wouldn't have been upset about it in the first place, right?

“Eors,” the girl said.

"Is this your name?" the priest asked with a gentle smile.

“Yes.” Eors nodded.

---

“Ah, Eorz,” the priest sighed deeply as he stood in front of the church.

Eorse, a famous songstress of the empire.

However, the priest had only heard her name, not her songs, and this was the first time he had seen her in person.

“Father, you’re blocking my way while I’m sweeping,” Lisbeth said, standing behind the priest with her hands on her hips.

"Haha, sorry." The priest laughed, making way for Lisbeth. "..." Bray walked down the street expressionlessly.

Bray would take Levy out to play from time to time, even if there was nothing to do.

It's basically like walking a lion, pshaw, Levy isn't a pet.

In short, to prevent Levy from getting bored and stressed, Bray would often take Levy out to play.

Levy clearly prefers to travel the world like Bray rather than stay at home.

Levy is very simple and innocent; even a roadside flower can make her happy for a long time.

Although Levy is almost 19 years old now, based on her growth rate, this age should be reduced by half.

In other words, Levy is roughly equivalent to a 10-year-old child, rounded up.

Honestly, if it weren't for Levy's animalistic intuition, Bray would have been really worried that Levy might have been easily kidnapped.

Because compared to children her age, Levy was more innocent and romantic.

As Bray walked down the street with Levy, passersby would frequently cast admiring glances in Bray's direction.

Ah, if those eyes were directed at Levy, Bray would have killed those wicked people immediately.

Unfortunately, these gazes weren't directed at Levy, nor at Bray, who was like a bandit.

These people were amazed by the black-haired woman behind him.

That's right, today Bray wasn't just walking the police lion, but also the black dragon.

As for Naruko, it's said that she's been too tired from taking care of Yuu lately, and today she just lay on the bed like a dead fish, not moving at all.

The truth remains unknown.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, and her face was as perfect as if it had been sculpted—especially her icy beauty, which made her irresistible to certain groups of people.

Moreover, Xiao You always wears a gorgeous black dress, so it's hard for anyone not to notice her when she walks down the street.

His every move was so alluring, yet he seemed so unapproachable.

"I really want to beat up all those people who are watching me," Xiao You said coldly, her lips slightly parted.

His brutal words were inconsistent with His image.

"Please don't!" Bray immediately added. If he hadn't said that in time, Xiao You might have really made a move.

"It's annoying to be stared at by a group of people, and the things those people are thinking are disgusting." Xiao You doesn't know how to read minds, but she can still sense malice.

"Well, this situation is called visual..." Bray suddenly thought of the word and felt a little sensitive, so he quickly stopped himself.

"What do you mean?" Xiao You was clearly curious about what Bray wanted to say and began to press him for an answer.

“Levy, look, isn’t this flower beautiful?” Bray rudely picked a flower from the flowerbed in the park next to him.

In order to change the subject, we have no choice but to do this now.

If Xiaoyou learns all sorts of strange things, Nickbolas will definitely kill him later.

Bray knew all too well how protective Nick Bollas was of his own.

"Huh?" Levy paused for a moment, looking bewildered.

Because Bray's actions were so sudden, Levy's mind couldn't keep up.

But it doesn't matter, just give Levy a little time and she'll be able to catch up.

"Oh! Beautiful!" About a minute later, Rebecca smiled, even more beautifully than the flower.

“Then this flower is for Levy.” Bray tucked the flower behind Levy’s ear.

"Do you like it this way?" Bray gently stroked Levy's hair and asked softly.

"Mmm-hmm." Levy nodded carefully, making sure the flower by her ear didn't fall to the ground.

"Levy likes it!" Levy responded cutely, gently touching the ear with her hand, afraid that she might hurt it by touching it too hard.

"Xiao You, what did you just ask?" Bree slowly turned his head and asked Xiao You in a puzzled tone.

"Uh..." Xiao You frowned, rubbing her temples with one finger in each hand.

He felt like there was something he wanted to ask a few minutes ago, but suddenly he couldn't remember it.

But it doesn't seem to be anything particularly important, so it doesn't matter if I don't bother to recall it.

"No, it's nothing, it doesn't seem like a big problem," Xiao You said coldly, her eyes lowered.

“Let’s keep going. I want to explore this human country properly.” He elegantly tossed his long hair and said to Bray in a pleasant voice.

“Okay.” Bray took Levy’s hand and led Little Yu on another walk.

Just now, Bray breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xiao You's true nature is not that of a cold and aloof, intelligent older sister—but rather a silly dragon.

Most people would be deceived by Xiao You's charm and appearance, but Bu Lei would never fall for it.

This guy not only has oily mouth when he eats, but he also stares blankly and drools when he listens to others talk.

"By the way, what did Naruko teach you?" Bray thought of this extremely serious question as he walked.

"Learn how to become a qualified dragon." When Xiaoyou said this, her tone was extremely serious, so serious that Bray thought he was really being properly taught by Naruko "how to become a qualified dragon".

“For example?” Bray tried to ask.

"The correct way to make bread," Xiaoyou answered without hesitation.

"How to do arithmetic."

"Women's makeup techniques."

"The correct posture for a sadistic queen."

Table manners.

“Things like that.” Xiaoyou listed some of the things that Naruko had given him.

"..." Bray opened his mouth, wanting to complain about something, but he didn't know where to start.

The important question is, did a really offensive remark just slip in?

"Does Nick Boras know about this?"

"know."

"What does all this have to do with you becoming a dragon?" Bray felt a dryness in his throat.

"I don't know, but after learning these things, I feel pretty good about myself," Xiao You said seriously.

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, like a proud black swan.

“Feeling good about himself…” Bree was speechless. He knew that Naruko’s teaching style was anything but normal.

I have no idea what Nick Bollas was thinking, actually throwing Yuu to Naruko.

Even if we were to give it to Levy, it would be better than giving it to Naruko.

"Achoo~" Levy covered her little nose and sneezed cutely.

"Bray, does Levy have a cold?" She looked at Bray with innocent eyes after sneezing.

“No…it shouldn’t be,” Bray said a little embarrassedly, then picked up Levy.

"Really? Levy doesn't have a cold."

"Hehe~ That's good." Levy immediately believed what Bray said, wrapped her arms around Bray's neck, and closed her eyes to go to sleep.

"That's strange. Even though it's only mixed-race, it shouldn't be so weak that it can catch a cold." Xiao You pondered.

"Don't even think about it..." Bray was speechless.

Bray hadn't explored the central city of the capital for a long time.

After such a long time, he went for a walk again and discovered many things he had never seen before.

For example, a street corner you didn't know before, or a shop you'd never been to before.

Only at times like these does Bray realize how vast the imperial capital he now lives in is, and how small he is compared to it.

That's true. Even if many people live in their hometown for ten years, they may not be able to visit every corner of their hometown.

Because recent events have mostly been conducted in terms of cities, it creates the illusion that Bree is not a very large city.

"Why are you suddenly spacing out?" Xiao You looked at Bu Lei with a puzzled expression.

"Don't you think you're quite small compared to the city?" Bray remarked.

"Really?" Xiao You asked casually, playing with her long hair that draped over her shoulders.

If Xiao You wanted to, she could cross the capital in a very short time, and destroy it in an instant.

He never considered whether the city was big or small.

Bray rolled his eyes and told Xiaoyou that this kind of thing was indeed meaningless.

He would earnestly express his feelings in front of Xiao You, and Bray felt that he must have made a fool of himself just now.

"Bray, Bray." Just as Bray sighed, Levy suddenly woke up and shook his shoulder.

"what happened?"

“Church.” Levy pointed to a small church, and before she knew it, she had arrived in front of Father Thun’s church.

"It feels like it's been a long time since I've been here." Bray realized that there was a church right in front of him.

Although I am a person without religious beliefs, I generally do not go to places like churches.

However, this church is an exception; more people without faith than those with faith go there.

Bray also comes here often, mainly to shop.

Although I came to the priest to buy medicine not long ago, it still feels like a long time has passed.

Levy broke free from Bray's embrace, jumped to the ground, and ran straight into the church.

Levy had virtually no wariness of the people in the church she knew.

We're all friends who can have fun together!

After seeing Levy run into the church, Xiaoyou silently followed.

Since He is a descendant of Nicolaes and Levy is a descendant of Nicolaes, He and Levy are of the same generation.

Little Yu prefers to follow Levy rather than Bray.

"..." In an instant, Bray felt abandoned.

---

"Levy is here!" Levy shouted as she rushed into the church.

"It's Levy!"

"It's Levy!"

"It really is Levy!"
