Chapter 27

Warriors of the four dragons!
From now on, you are our other halves.
With Hiryuu as your master and Kesshō ryū as your mistress, protect, cherish, and never betray them...

"Ugh..." Jae-Ha groaned as he fall to his knees, just like when he meet Yuriko at the first time, but this time his leg is throbbing much more than before, and there are sounds in his head.

'My leg... Is throbbing!'

... For as long as you live!

"Ah!"
'It feels like... My blood is boiling!' Jae-Ha grit his teeth.

"... As I thought..." Yuriko silently mumbled to herself.

"What's wrong?" Hak asked him in some kind of concern.
"Hey." He tried to call him once again, since he didn't answer.

'It can' t be. These girls were... The ones I was trying to avoid...?'

"Are you okay?" Yona worriedly asking him.

'The ones who rules over the four dragons...?'
"You are burning up." Yuriko calmly said as she place her palm on his forehead.

'This can't happen! How did I don't realise that this woman is the... I need to hurry and get out of here! But why... Can't I move? Why.. Do I feel like...' Jae-Ha then slowly lift his head and locked eyes with Yuriko, which makes her eyes colour turns into a deep blue crystal one.

'It's difficult to leave...? Just now... Her eyes... It... Doesn't feel hot anymore..?' He then stands up.
"Thank you... Young lady. I'm fine now..." He said with his usual smile.

"... Ryokuryuu." She suddenly said, making his eyes widen in surprise.
"You are Ryokuryuu, right?"

"How do you..?" Hak asked her.
"... Let's just say.. I have that feeling. But... I'm not wrong, am I?" She asked Jae-Ha, she locked eyes with him again, but her eyes colours are back to the grey one.

"... What are you talking about?" He then brush his clothes.
"I'll be on my way now..." He said, as he tried to walk away from there.

"Yuriko-san! Princess, that man is Ryokuryuu!" Kija suddenly shows up with Yoon from behind.

"You'll be on your way, huh?" Hak immediately arm choked him.
"I'm Ryokuryuu..." Jae-Ha confessed while tapping at his arm.

"You were Ryokuryuu...? I didn't want to deal with you again...." Hak sweatdropped as he released him.

"Oh, you're the one from that wanted poster? I heard about you from Hak and Nee-sama... And wanted to meet you. I'm glad you turned out to be Ryokuryuu." Yona said with a smile.

'It seems... I somehow understimated the connection... Of the four dragons with Hiryuu and Kesshō ryū. Those figures...'

"I'm Yona." Yona introduced herself.
"We have met before, but... We still doesn't know each other name, my name is Yuriko. May I know what is your name?" Yuriko also introduced herself.

'And even that voice... Are sweetly alluring. But this is just how it is... For the dragon's blood within me.'

"... It's nice to meet you. My name is Jae-Ha."
'They're not my own feelings.' He then make a confident smile.

"I didn't want to meet you two at all... Young ladies." This makes Yuriko blink her eyes.
'I... Am not young though.' she thought.

"Did you know she was here?" Yuriko then asked him while showing Yona.

"I didn't think you two were this cute and beautiful of a girl, but... I've been feeling the presence of Hakuryuu and Seiryuu around here lately, so I knew. If they came along with their masters... I was planning to say... "I have no interest in serving you. Please go home." " His seriousness making all of them stare at him in silence, until Yuriko broke that silence.
