Hmm? Where is this? (Trash of the Count's Family Fanfiction)

Chapter 8

Cale sighed and looked towards Lee Soo Hyuk who was approaching him, painted on his face was worry as the sound of alarms echoed inside the shelter.

"Human, what is happening?"

Cale looked up to Raon who's currently riding Alberu's back. The little dragon who's in his human form was giving him curious looks, the blue reptilian eyes that contained curiosity made Cale sigh.

Considering how this child, not to mention a certain butler and mercenary king was with him as well, Cale can only think that it will be a problem if he informed them that monsters are attacking the shelter right now. And with that, assuming that it has the intelligence to target a shelter, it may be a Grade 1 monster.

Cale opened his lips to answer Raon's question but a running person soon arrived in front of him, holding his knees. It was Kim Min Ah, who was covered in sweat and dust, following behind her was Bae Puh Rum who was also in the same condition.

"...You've been training well."

Cale can only say that as he watched the two catch their breaths.

'...What's the use of Puh Rum's flight ability?'

He wanted to ask them that, but he soon closed his lips when Kim Min Ah raised her head and stared seriously at him.

"Commander-nim."

Cale flinched as his past title came out from Kim Min Ah. He ignored the questioning stares of Ron, Bud and the three children. Alberu watched this as his eyes met with Ron's who was smiling benignly making Alberu look away.

"Rok Soo-hyung!"

Cale and the other's turned to look at the approaching figure. The familiar face made Kim Min Ah and Bae Puh Rum stop and look back and forth between Cale and Choi Han. Bae Puh Rum even forgot that he's greedily sucking every oxygen he can after running. They had questions when Choi Han left the shelter and all Kim Rok Soo provided them was that– "He returned to where he's supposed to be." and of course that kind of reply didn't answer their questions.

First and foremost, they witness how Choi Han stuck close to their young commander over their journey to this shelter, and they also had the gist of what happened in the shelter they came from that Choi Han appeared out of nowhere and had introduced the young swordsman as his dongsaeng. And that very dongsaeng left all of a sudden?

They wanted to ask, but Kim Rok Soo would always have a way to give them answers, albeit vague.

That's why seeing Choi Han here after many months had passed was a weird sight. No, more like suspicious.

"...It's been a long time, Choi Han"

Min Ah greeted Choi Han who looked at her with his usual calm and cold innocent face as he slightly tugged his lips into a small stiff smile. Choi Han had been preparing what to say when they asked him where did he go and why did he left, but well, Choi Han is Choi Han.
