Hidden Sister

Chapter 15: Ouryuu Zeno

"Wow!"

The group excluding Jae-Ha let out sounds of awe as they stare at the animal that the Ryokuryuu had hunted.

"It's a fawn. Nice catch!" Yoon complements.

"It was difficult trying to jump while carrying it." Jae-Ha says.

"Jae-Ha's legs are really amazing." Mana says.

"He suddenly jumped off onto the eastern sky. So I thought he had finally been summoned to the heavens." Hak says as his arms are crossed.

"Hak... I'm supposed to jump more gracefully than that..." Jae-Ha retorts. "Well, I made full use of my power when I was a boy to fly all around Kouka."

"By the way, you ran away from the village of Ryokuryuu, right? Why?" Kija asks.

"Would you consider it acceptable if both of your hands and feet were bound by chains?"

"Chains?!"

"As an innocent, young beautiful boy, I was tied up in chains. My milky white supple body was exposed to the curious gazes of the adults, and I was blinded and assaulted within a cage day after day..."

"Hold on, don't overlap the pretty boy character, okay?" Yoon says.

"Eh? Eh? What?! I do not understand the Village of Ryokuryuu!" Kija exclaims.

"Don't believe him so easily. There's probably some wild delusions involved." Hak says.

"That's generally the fate of the Ryokuryuu as soon as they're born." Jae-Ha finishes.

"Generally?!" Kija repeats.

"Well, it's that, isn't it?" Hak questions. "It would be hard for the Ryokuryuu to stop themselves from jumping around. It's because you have that power."

"Well... Actually, that's it." Jae-Ha agrees. "The Ryokuryuu would disappear into the skies if left alone."

"But since you're so quick, we'll be able to track down and find Ouryuu no matter where they are." Yona says.

"Oh, now that you mention it, the only one left is Ouryuu, huh? Since I've come this far, getting a look at Ouryuu's face may not be so bad. I'll find him."

"No, leave that task to me!" Kija cuts in.

"No, let me do it..."

"No, I'm going to be the one who finds the dragons..."

"Well, we're in no hurry. I'll start making dinner." Yoon says ignoring the two dragons' argument. "Raijuu, start the fire."

"Okay." Hak replies.

"I'll help too." Mana says.

Ignoring the dragons' argument, Yona, Mana, Hak, and Yoon are getting ready for dinner.

"I wonder if Ouryuu has a village too." Yona says as she takes a bowl near the fawn.

"Well, we have three dragons with us. It'll work itself out, won't it?" Yoon says. "Okay, we're having deer today."

Mana approaches Yoon and Yona who already begin butchering the deer as she sees a struggle look on Yona's face.

"Yona, are you okay?" She asks.

"Yes. It's still a little difficult. But, averting my eyes would be ignoring that this guy was alive." Yona says before she put down the knife and puts her hands together in a prayer. Now, they hear stomach growling next to Yona. There sat a young man who has thick, messy yellow hair. He has a short green bandanna with an orange hanging beaded accessory decorated with a gold circular dragon design around his forehead and ties it in a bow on the right side. His eyes are closed as he clasped his hands together, praying.
