Everyone Else is a Returnee

Chapter 101-105

Chapter 101

[It really seems like I am sometimes able to understand what dragons are thinking, while being completely unable to understand them in other situations.]

"Really? I never understood them."

While Erta had a look at the golden egg that Lecidna left behind, Yu IlHan picked up the letter. He reasoned that her ultimatum for calling Yu IlHan here, and the explanation behind the golden egg would be written in this letter.

Surprisingly, the letter was written in English. Even though it would've been fine if it was written in dragon tongue.

"If you're reading this letter, then it is likely that I have died. I have no doubts that you will keep your promise and return to this place."

[Is it a letter?]

"I had followed the will of the Garden of Sunset, but I was certain that it would lead to my death some day. Compared to the weight of their decree, my shoulders were too narrow, my allies few, and the dangers overwhelming."

[Can this even be hatched?]

Yu IlHan found Erta, who was bored of looking at the egg and started talking to him, very annoying, but he suppressed it and continued reading the letter.

"If there's anything that I am worried about, then it is my child that will be born soon. No matter how strong dragons are as a species, all that power is accumulated over numerous years and with many records, so I was worried about leaving my child alone. Moreover, the thought that that child may become similar to the Destruction Demon Soldiers also tugged on my mind."

[So there's such thing as a motherly love with dragons.]

"However, if it's you, I can believe in you. You, who remains unaffected by everything, free even while possessing absolute power, are an existence that shines brighter than us dragons. I will have no regrets if my child grows up to be like you. So, I request of you. Please raise my child in my stead."

Erta's mouth widened. She flapped her wings in rage.

[Do you owe this woman something? She really is shameless, asking you to raise her child! Making a man who hadn't even dated his whole life, live as a single father? Even if Heaven forgives her! I will not forgive it!]

"Hey, shush! You're annoying me! Also, do you know about defamation by stating facts, huh!?"

She saved my life! That's enough of a debt!

Yu IlHan, who had never once forgot his grievances with other people, which was very befitting of a loner, was fortunately, also sensitive to what he received.

Honestly, he was not confident about raising a child, but he had no intention to turn down the request of someone who had sacrificed herself for him, just because he had no confidence.

"My child will become an adult dragon at level 200, at that time, this child may become an asset that helps you in what you may do in the future. I know that it's a shameless request, but I wish that you will cherish the child."

[Hmph, at least she knows that she's shameless.]

"In order for a dragon to incubate, a strong source of fire is needed. The power supplied to the dragon during incubation will also affect future growth, so please keep this in mind."

Reading up to that point, Yu IlHan stopped. Erta lifted up her head thinking that it was the end, just when Yu IlHan found a line in tiny font at the bottom of the letter.

"If you have the power, could you look after the elves a little as well? or so it's written."

[It really is a letter full of requests......]
