The Crystal Dragon (AkaNoYona fanfic)

Chapter 32

"Wow! Amazing! The Ryokuryuu is the one who can fly through the sky, right?" Yona ask in awe as she get carried by Jae-Ha, who jumping from one roof to another. Yuriko glance at Yona and saw her brightly smiles, so she make a small smile as well, and then she shakes her head a little, "No, Ojousama. Jae-Ha-sama is actually jumping."

"That’s right, Yona. I'm actually jumping, but... Are you alright being up this high?" Jae-Ha nods his head.
"Yep!" Yona nods her head certainly.

He then glance at Yuriko, "How about you, Yuriko?" Yuriko also nods her head and says she's okay.

But of course, Jae-Ha won't leave her alone just like that, he makes a teasing smirk as he glance at her, "Even though you were scared on the vanishing cape?"

Yuriko then respond by slightly glare at him in embarrasment, but then she nods again, "This is different than that. This time I can jump by myself freely and these are not as steep as the path on the cliff. And... As I thought, being near you... Is relaxing." She said with a smile.

This makes Jae-Ha immediately looks away from Yuriko.
"... The blood of the dragon... Is seriously annoying." He said. After a while, Jae-Ha suddenly land on a roof and suddenly crouch down, then obviously Yuriko who's been following him do the same, but Yona didn't do the same, so Yuriko immediately pull Yona's hand slightly so she can't be seen from down.

" What is it...?" Yona asked in surprise, then Jae-Ha andwer her, "It's Yang Kum-Ji." They then stay silent as they saw Yang Kum-Ji's carriage pass by down the street and they also saw Yang Kum-Ji a little from the window of the carriage.

"Looking from above, you can tell there's something twisted about this town." Jae-Ha said with a smirk, then he continue, "Women and children hide in their homes when Kum-Ji comes around. Just so they don't catch his eye."

This sentence makes both Yuriko and Yona stay silent and just look down at the street. After a few minutes of waiting, They finally jump down and slowly walk around, just as they go down, they saw a man walk slowly as he hold his head... No, more like his hair.

"Excuse me? Is there something wrong?" Yuriko decides to ask that man since he didn't look well.
"Are you not feeling well?" Yona alaso ask him, this makes the man turn his head at them, then immediately scoot over, "I'm... Fine." He said with a "deep" voice.

But, before he can go any further, Jae-Ha suddenly grab his hands, "You're.... A girl, aren't you?"

ー・・ー・ー・・ー ・ー・・ ー・ー・¬

"H-How did you know...?" That "man", is actually a girl that disguised as a man. So she asked this question as she tremble in fear next to the wall.

"Dare I say it was because of your scent?" Jae-Ha proudly states with a grin, which makes the girl respond by saying, "Oh no, a pervert."

"I see. So that's a pervert." Yona immediately make a serious face.
"That’s right, he is a pervert." Yuriko nods her head.

At first, Jae-Ha looks like he wants to deny it, but then he just ask something to the girl, "Are you disguising yourself as a man to escape from the officers?"

"Y-Yes." The girl stutters.
"It was unusual to see you that frightened earlier. Did something happen?" This makes the girl just stay silent while her body keep trembling.
"... The officers... No... Did Kum-Ji do something?" Yuriko ask her in a gentle voice, so she can let her guard down a little.
"... I- I don't know! I don't know!" She franticaly shakes her head, this makes the three of them become even more suspicious.

"You don't know..?" Yuriko repeat what she just said.
"A-A few days ago I heard a rumour about a high-paying job... And my friend and I entered the store. My friend is a very beautiful girl. They let my friend and I inside, but at the end, they only called my friend to a small room in the back. They told me to go home instead. Before I left, I became a little curious and saw the narrow room she had gone into. It only took a second. The floor of the room opened up... And she was sucked into darkness." She then hold her head with both of her hands and has the look like she's in despair.
