Chapter 536 None of Your Pets Are Reliable
"...Are you crying again?"
Unexpectedly, a pair of boots stopped in front of Zephirion at this moment.
Lilith went and came back, there was nothing she could do, the elven dragon was trembling with fear and refused to rest for a moment, so she knew Zephirion was not far away.
She followed the way she came and looked for him. He was standing in the shade of the garden, wiping his tears silently in the dark. Anyone who hadn't been paying attention would have been scared.
What a crybaby, what a waste, Lilith held down her restless fingers.
The younger students were innocent and cute, and the various questions they asked made her, who thought she had good grades, scratch her head. They were about to start their first holiday internship at the end of this school year, and were full of wild fantasies about the outside world. Some of their ideas were so bold that Lilith and others were dumbfounded. It was foreseeable how much trouble they would cause when they embarked on their journey.
In this lively scene, Lilith couldn't help but think of Zephyrion again.
He spoke and acted based on his likes and dislikes, got into trouble from time to time, had a bad temper, was stupid, and was gullible. He was just a little brat with an adult appearance... Why would she bother with that idiot? Besides, he said they used to be friends.
"——Stop crying."
Lilith tried to comfort him dryly. After all, they weren't familiar with each other, and she didn't know how to comfort the person in front of her. It was just that she had been seeing him cry so often recently, which made her curious. "I heard that the main weapons used by the Jihad Alliance are dragon steel, and the dragon tears used to make dragon steel. Are you the one who provides all of them?"
Zephirion paused, sniffed sharply, and the sobbing stopped. This made Lilith feel that her guess was right.
"I'm afraid you'll die." Black Dragon's voice was nasal.
"What?" He spoke incoherently, leaving Lilith confused.
"I'm afraid you've died again. I don't know where to find you." Zephirion's voice was extremely lonely. He had no idea what she would look like in her next life, or whether she would still be called Lilith.
Lilith finally realized that he was answering her question from the evening, the reason why he had been lingering in Goletia. A bitter feeling welled up in her heart as she looked at the black dragon she had left in the night. It looked so large yet so pitiful.
It seemed that the first time I saw him crying was on the night of Gloria. At that time, he was crazy about the legendary white dragon and threatened to kill me if I dared to look at it.
But now, he was crying in front of her with such openness. Although he spoke harshly, he trusted her completely and had no defenses at all...
"Let's go." Lilith's voice softened. She moved forward to pull up the Black Dragon's arm, but he suddenly took a step back.
"Why should I listen to you!" Zephirion's eyes were so bright in the darkness that Lilith could even clearly see the hatred flashing in his eyes, but she was no longer afraid.
"Because I want to introduce my friends to you."
What? What? — Zephirion was stunned.
"I believe that every race has its own reason for existence. Although you may think humans are as weak as mayflies, I actually quite like myself as a human. Perhaps it is because we understand that life is short that we humans will explore various possibilities within our limited lives.
My friends have different personalities and ideas, and some of them even make it hard for us to get along, but... they're all very good people. I think maybe you can try to understand humanity by starting with them."
Lilith took a few steps forward, stepping into the light of the Rose Building. Noticing that the Black Dragon hadn't caught up yet, she turned and gestured to Zephirian at the building behind them. "Aren't you coming? What a coincidence, they're all here today."
The girl turned her back to the light source, and the halo softened her outline, as if it was inlaid with fluffy gold edges.
………………
Those lower grade children were full of energy, but were eventually forced to disperse on the grounds that "children should go to bed early". There were not many people left in the Rose Building, and they were now scattered around the hall in groups of three or four.
After replying to various letters, Catherine came downstairs and joined their chat. Lucas had just returned from work and was sitting alone on a low table eating a midnight snack to replenish his energy. Ian was sitting on the sofa near the door in a daze, and he noticed Lilith the moment she came in.
"Lilith?" Ian saw a tall black shadow appear behind Lilith. He bent his head slightly and followed the girl into the room.
A stranger. Ian looked at his partner with a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
Catherine, who was chatting with Jaina, had a smile on her face, but she suddenly stood up when she saw the man - she was the only one here who had seen the black dragon transform into a human form.
"Why are you back so soon?"
A whirlwind began to blow quietly in the hall, and the princess's hair was blown by the wind. After seeing the pair of eyes sparkling with gold, she became more certain that she had not recognized the wrong person. Her heart began to pound wildly. She tried to relax her tone, but quietly pulled Jaina next to her, suggesting that she be alert.
Everyone had already developed a very high level of tacit understanding, and the laughter in the hall gradually stopped. Hannah held down her guardian's hand that was about to draw the sword, and looked at the unfamiliar face at the door with everyone else. The man was dressed in black and exuded a murderous aura, with an inexplicable sense of majesty. He was not at all uncomfortable facing everyone's gaze, but instead raised his chin, and his slightly red eyes swept across the faces.
"Uh, don't be nervous." Lilith waved gently at Catherine.
"This is..." Lilith took a deep breath. She looked around, made sure there was no one else behind, and pulled Zephirion in front of her.
"Let me introduce you to our new friend, Zephirion. Actually, you have all met him. He—"
"Pang Rang!"
The crisp sound of shattering glass was so clear in the night that everyone turned their heads. A large hole appeared on the glass window nearby, which looked like... about the same size as the elven dragon.
Everyone:...
"Great! That big fat lizard finally escaped!" Lucas, engrossed in his meal, completely oblivious to the changing atmosphere. He was focused on cheering for the elven dragon's escape. "None of your pets are reliable, Lilith."
……

“You farted—!!”
A roar sounded in the Rose Building.
