Trash of the Count's Family

Dodori tilted his head to one side. His curly hair wiggled as his head moved.

“Why are you clutching your head? Is my offer too thrilling?”

– …Human. Unlike him, I think I know why you are clutching your head.

Cale looked toward Raon who was talking to him in his mind.

Raon was looking back and forth between Cale and Dodori with a pitying gaze.

Cale felt it at that moment.

‘He’s grown.’

He felt that Raon, who had already figured out why he was clutching his head, had grown a lot and started to caress Raon’s back.

– Human! It’s because you don’t have any faith in the history scholars that pink Dragon will bring, isn’t it? How can you leave the distribution of your biography to a Dragon you just met?! Don’t worry, I have recorded almost all of your exploits on my video recording device! Mary, the crazy Clopeh, and I will write your biography for you! Do not worry!

‘Hmm?’

– I feel sorry for the pink Dragon. He’s so excited about something you’re not going to ask him to do. Let’s just include him briefly at the end!

‘Hmm? What the hell are both of these Dragons saying right now?’

Cale looked at Raon with disbelief before turning toward his last pillar of hope. Yes, he looked toward Choi Han.

“Please drink some tea as you chat.”

Choi Han had an innocent expression on his face as he put three cups of tea on the table (one for himself), along with juice for Raon.

He had a friendly smile toward Dodori.

Cale felt betrayed for some reason.

Dodori clasped his hands together while looking at Choi Han.

“Ah! Are you Choi Han of the Black Blade, Cale Henituse’s guardian knight and his first-ever party member?”

‘What the hell is up with those dazzling and useless titles?’

Cale started to frown but Choi Han had an embarrassed smile as he waved his hand.

“I have not done much at all.”

“No! You can’t say that! The party member of a hero who will never be seen in this world ever again is also a hero! Rosalyn of the Red flame, the ruler of mana! Future King Alberu, the Spear Knight of the Radiant Sun! Mary, the Commander of the Dead! I know about all of the others as well!”

‘Wow. All of their titles are no joke.’

Cale just blankly nodded his head.

Dodori’s sparkling eyes headed toward Cale at that moment.

“I watched numerous heroes being born this time!”

Cale made a comment with an expression that was changing from blank to delinquent.

“…Through the books?”

“That’s right! I saw it through the books! Do you think I saw it all in person? That’s a funny joke! Hahaha!”

Dodori pounded his chest again.

“That is why I personally came here to give the perfect happy ending to your hero’s journey!”

‘Reality and stories are different, Mister Dragon.’

Ironically, this was the comment made by someone who actually ended up in a story and was living that life as his new reality. Cale Henituse had a lot of things he wanted to say, but asked the question he needed to ask first.

“…Could you please explain in detail how you ended up here?”

“Of course. Whatever you want.”

Dodori plopped down on the couch opposite Cale and leisurely picked up his teacup.

He then brought it directly to his mouth.

Cale opened his mouth after seeing this action. Dodori jumped up at the same time.

“Ahhh!”

…His bandana was drenched in tea.

‘Is he really a Dragon?’

Cale couldn’t help but wonder after seeing Dodori’s extremely clumsy nature. Dodori just took off the bandana and acted as if nothing had happened.

‘Mm.’

Cale was wowed by the Dragon’s beauty.

Features that suddenly made the curly hair look like an artistic masterpiece appeared once the bandana was off. He wasn’t as beautiful as Eruhaben, but it was still quite mesmerizing.

He looked as androgynous as his voice.

He started to shout.

“Ow, hot hot hot hot! Why is the tea so hot?!”

“…Tea is usually hot.”

Cale’s voice was becoming more delinquent, but Dodori did not notice at all. This Dragon didn’t seem interested in that at all.

“Ahem, anyway, I will share my story for a moment.”

Dodori looked up at the air with a fleeting gaze.

“I, Dodori, have wandered far and wide because I could not trust anything in the world at one point. I guess you could say that I was searching for the meaning of life.”

‘…What the hell?’

Cale opened his mouth to speak because he could sense that the story was going to take a weird turn. However, Dodori was faster. The pink Dragon looked toward Raon.

“I was quite rebellious when I was about six years old. You’re going through puberty right now, aren’t you?”

“Pink Dragon! You truly are peculiar!”
