The Crystal Dragon (AkaNoYona fanfic)

Chapter 26

"Phew... Hakuryuu came within close range again." Jae-Ha mumbled to himself on a rooftop.
'I don't have time for that right now, but... I can't recruit them as pirates like this, can I? But I won't let the game I've targeted get away.'

"Sorry, but I'm persistent." He said with a smirk.
"Time to revise my persuasion." He said as he stand up.
'! This presence...'

"Ah!" As soon as he sense Hakuryuu, his foot slipped and he fell from the roof.
"Wah-ah-Uwaaa!" He scream as he falls, "Ah, ow ow ow ow... It's a good thing I have a well-built body..." He said, before he realise that he's stuck in a giant pot and when he raise his head, he locked eye with Kija.

"Hey, Hak. Is this the guy who rescued that girl from the officers?" Yona asked Hak as she look at the poster of Jae-Ha.

"That’s right. But I really don't want to deal with him again." He answered her while riping the poster of himself.
"I want to meet him." Yona told him.
"It's best that you don't."

Hiks..

Sound of crying suddenly comes out from the store that was confounded  by the officer earlier. Suddenly then Yona run into the store, followed by Yuriko who fast walking behind her.

"Himesama? Yuriko?!"
"Yona, Yuriko!" Both Yoon and Hak shout their name when the two of them suddenly rushed to the store.

When they look into the store, they saw the chair, vase, table, all of the thing in the store was broken and scattered, and they also saw a woman was holding a little boy who seems to be unconsious in her arm.

".... He won't move." The man who was kneeling in front of the boy said, "The child.... Hit the officer back... They hit him... And now... He won't move..." He said as his tears drop.

Yuriko glare furiously at them, but her glare was not pointed at them, it's pointed at the officers who do this to them. Hak just side glanced her in silence, as Yoon walks to the boy and checked his body, he then glance at Yuriko, "He's still bleeding, but... There's still a small chance that he can survive." He told her, so she immediately ran to their side.

"Yoon-san, please bring me a few of clean cloth and some water." She said as she examine the injuries that the boy has, Yoon without saying anything immediately leave the room. Yuriko then take ointment from Yoon's bag, and applying it on the boy small injuries, after that she wrap the injuries that already got treated with bandage.

"Yuriko. Here." Yoon is back with some water and some clean cloth.
"Thank you." She then immediately pour some water on the cloth, then use it to wipe the boy forehead that's injured. Then, she throw the dirty cloth.

'.... He is only a child.... Yet they treated him like this...' Yuriko carefully put another clean cloth on the boy wounds, then slightly press it to stop the bleeding, then finally, the bleeding become slower than before, she then sigh in relieve as she put away the bloody cloth and wipe the blood from the boy forehead once again, then she put some ointment on his wounds and wrap bandage around the boy's head.

She then put a cloth that already being folded on the floor, then carefully put the boy's head on there.

"He will be okay now." Yuriko told the woman who hold the boy before.
"Thank you.... Thank you very much! I don't know how to repay you." The woman hold Yuriko's hand while crying and keep saying thank you, as for the man, he also cried in relief beside the woman. Yuriko who was surprised at first, just hold the woman hands reassuringly without saying anything and let her cry.
