Hidden Sister

Chapter 18: Hakuryuu's Scale

Soon after, Yona and the others returned and as they did, Mana told them the whole story. Yoon immediately started treating Shin-Ah's wounds while Jea-Ha and Hak left to take care of the bandits.

Time has passed, Mana, Yona, Zeno, and Kija wait outside for Yoon and Shin-Ah. When Mana feel that she has enough of waiting, she opens the tent flap. "Yoon, how's Shin-Ah?"

"Yup. He's going okay. I put Senjusou plants on him, so his injury will heal fast." He responds.

"That's good." Mana sighs in relief and looks down at Shin-Ah, his mask on him and Ao is onto him with the blanket over Shin-Ah's chest.

Suddenly, Zeno jumps in the tent and cries, "Seiryuu! Seiryuu! Do you know this is Zeno?! Are you alive? Feeling good? Want to play?"

"Hey, Yellow! Don't kick up a racket! He can't play!" Yoon yells at him as Yona and Kija come in the tent.

"So Yoon, is Shin-Ah's going to be okay?" Yona asks.

"Of course, this is because of the injury of his stomach, but it's also because he released all the power-suppressing up until now all at once. Until his strength returns, he has to rest in bed for now!"

"What about his paralyzed body?" Kija asks.

"It seems Shin-Ah used his powers in the past before, so he should get over it soon."

"I see. I see..." Kija replies with a smile.

Then they hear footsteps coming and looks up to see it was Jea-Ha and Hak.

"We're back. We threw then bandits out on the road. Officers will pick them up sooner or later." Jea-Ha tells them.

"Oh yeah, we also found this at the market stall on the way here." Hak says, digging something out of his pocket and pulls out a white looking shell or tooth.

"What is it?" Yona asks.

"It's a White dragon scale." Jea-Ha answers, smiling.

Kija stares at it with wide eyes. "What?"

"White Snake, what are you doing selling off your scales?" Hak bluntly questions.

"Who the hell would do such a thing?!" Kija argues.

"So, if we eat this, we would either become stubborn like him or maybe or right hand becomes huge like his?" Jea-Ha questions holding the scale in his hands.

"Hey!"

"Actually, according to the instruction Raijuu and Jea-Ha brought, it's supposed to be a scale that fulfills love." Yoon explains.

Yona gets confused along with Kija while Jea-Ha and Hak burst into laughter.

"Oh? So where are those pink scales?" Hak asks.

"I see. Your scales can fulfill love, huh?" Jea-ha asks as he peals a scale from Kija's Dragon hand.

"Stop picking at it! It hurts!" Kija yells at the Ryokuryuu. "This stuff about the Hakuryuu scale is nonsense! Running a deceitful trade using the name of the holy dragon is the greatest insolence! How could you buy something like that?!"

"We didn't, it was a freebie." Hak says.

"A freebie? That's even more suspicious."

"It just means they're making love charms modeled after the Four Dragons, right? This kind of thing is something girls ought to have. Something like 'it fulfills love' sounds cute, doesn't it?" Jea-Ha says.

Mana takes a peek at the paper that Hak gave Yoon to read the instructions for it.

"According to this, it's supposed to be a love potion." Mana informs as Jea-Ha and Hak taking even more interested in the scale.
