Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

“Uhh, i, its not what you think!”

Kaeul flusteredly shook her hands. He could spot traces of anxiety, confusion and fear from her golden eyes, but her eyes overall had enough vitality, like her eyes that he was used to seeing.

“I, I, I wasnt doing like, something strange or anything!”

“What were you doing then.”

“I was just trying to practise healing magic a bit…! L, look here!”

While saying that, she lifted the towel and disinfectant that were placed near her legs.

It seemed that he was overreacting in vain. Yu Jitae breathed out a deep sigh. His head cooled down as his blood began racing back out of his head.

Oblivious to his thoughts or not, Kaeul continued gazing at him with anxious eyes whilst flapping her arms. He slowly approached the child, sat in front of her and held her by the wrist as Kaeul flinched and lowered her head.

The wound was on her palm, not her wrist and was shallow. In order to make a wound on her body that was being protected by all sorts of blessings, Kaeul had to use quite a bit of mana.

“Why would you practise healing magic on your body.”

“Its nothing big but, umm, uhh, just, uhh, I needed some time to practise alone, umm… and there has to be a wound to heal it right?”

“Why not do it during lesson or at a training centre.”

“Thats… uhh, umm…”

Kaeul hesitated. Meanwhile, Yu Jitae used a gauze to wipe the blood flowing down from her small palm.

“Heal your hand first.”

“Ah, yes.”

She gathered mana on her other hand. After Kaeul concentrated for a bit, the delicate attribute of healing magic was casted. [Heal (C)] – the most basic spell and yet the one with the highest difficulty stopped the wound from bleeding, disinfected it and began healing it at a rapid speed. In an instant, the wound began to quickly close.

“…”

Meanwhile, Yu Jitae stared at Kaeuls face. Whenevershe was focusing on something, there was always an undisguisable phenomenon.

Human conviction and thoughts stemmed from their eyes which they used when looking at the world around them. There was no way that the world in Yu Jitaes eyes was the same as Kaeuls perception of the world.

As if to prove his doubt, Kaeuls gaze appeared like an indifferent pout.

“Bom.”

“Nn?”

Slowly, her face returned toKaeul.

“Nn!? W, w, why?! Why are you suddenly looking for Bom-unni?”

…She was immersing herself in Bom when using healing magic.

Yu Jitae thought for a bit – what would be the best way to lead a conversation in times like this?

In his memories, Bom had always tried to slowly and calmly start a conversation. Instead of jumping straight to the trunk, he had to start from the branches of the roots.

“How unexpected.”

“Sorry?”

“Didnt it hurt?”

“Uhh, umm…”

“Dont you usually whinge for an hour when you bump your toe on something?”

“…No I dont! Maybe for about five minutes, only because it surprises me.”

“Anyway, did it hurt?” He asked again.
