BXBX NOVEL 633 Chapter 221
Zoemi chuckled to which the moved away its long neck all the way behind its back in what looked like a very exaggerated pouting...
"WHOA...!"
Until the dragon moved back, carrying a scared reddish-brown-haired youth in its mouth like a kitten.
"Did I make little baby girl upset?"
Zoemi leaned forward and asked as if there was no one else around.
*thump*
"Ough...!"
"YOU JUMPED OFF MY BACK WHILE WE WERE WAY ABOVE THE CLOUDS! OF COURSE I GOT SCARED ABOUT YOU! IDIOT UNBREAKABLE!"
In response to the mockery, the dragon dropped the marital artist it was carrying and opened its jaws to shout at the easygoing man, so angry that it spread its massive wings fully to appear more threatening...
...despite it being adorably worried about Zoemi...
"...what it is with him and strong-willed wind-related females...?"
"I do believe that he confirmed the first part of your statement was his type..."
The mages murmured amongst each other surprisingly calmly about a massive monster casually conversing with a high noble from their country as if they were on equal footing – which caused every marital artist in the hearing range to become startled and stare at the black-haired man in disbelief.
"Aww~ Aren't you the cutest?"
"Hmph! Call for me when you are done – I will hear you even whispering my name so don't bother shouting."
*WHOOOSH*
Zoemi's smile widened and he approached the dragon, gently patting the side of the base of its neck Which caused the creature to get embarrassed and look away while declaring before lifting off with a single swat of its gargantuan wings.
"Alrigh~! Make sure to not eat too many feathered beasts – you know that they give you indigestion!"
Despite hearing her clearly and understanding what she meant, Zoemi still raised his voice to talk to the deep-green dragon.
"SHUT UP! STOP EMBARRASSING ME, STUPID PAPA! I AM NOT A LITTLE CHICK ANYMORE! I HATE YOU!"
*WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
...which caused the creature to visibly tremble before getting teary-eyed and shouting as she flapped her monstrous wings and created a tempest to leave the area as fast as possible.
"Z-Zo-Zoemi... did... did that monster just call you... papa...?"
Devios raised his trembling hand and asked, shaking so much that he couldn't stop stuttering as he pointed between the black-haired man and the winged beast that was now only a dark dot on the horizon.
"Ugh... I know how you feel, I was shocked too and I've seen him doing some ridiculous things."
The young martial artist who was dropped by the dragon stood up, massaging his lower back, and nodded with understanding at the blue-haired man.
"That was Kaaraal, a dragon I ended up helping to hatch. She imprinted on me and wouldn't leave my side for the first few weeks before becoming independent. Wasn't she adorable? Right after hatching, she was only the size of a large carriage – it's amazing how fast a dragon can grow in a mere year – not to mention she already entered her rebellious phase! She... hmm? What's with those faces?"
Showing off that his denseness wasn't actually just an act, Zoemi took a deep breath sounding proud about the deep-green winged monster's development – before furrowing his brows at the looks the people around were giving him.
"Hello. My name is Alan Ramis, it seems that you know that outrageous guy. Say, how in the world were you able to keep up with all the insane things he does as if it was completely normal? Honestly, having most of the dragons treat him like a higher being and one literally thinking of herself as his daughter, I am on the verge of a mental breakdown."
Alan walked up to Devios who still had his hand up and give him a firm handshake and a smile of a broken person.
"And it's always something so unexpected with him that it completely shatters my view of the world."
Haha... Next thing I'll know he will say that he has actually stumbled into this world by crossing the dimensions like some high-level law of Pisces users claim to have done..."
The young man let out a nervous laugh and didn't seem to be aware of his environment at all.
"Actually..."
"NO! NO, DON'T YOU EVEN DARE! NO! STOP! CEASE! LET ME ADJUST BEFORE YOU... huh...? Hold on... this... isn't this the Heavenly Star Aca...? Fuaaah...!"
"?!?!"
At Alan's words, Zoemi straightened his back and looked awkwardly to the side – to which the young man started shouting pointing his index finger at the black-haired man with accusation, only to then realize where he actually was and... fainting, slumping limply into startled Devios's arms.
"Haaah... don't you all think that the martial artists have a surprisingly low mental fortitude for people sharing the land with thousands of species of monsters?"
Zoemi breathed out and smirked at the group of mages amongst every single one looked as if they could easily relate to how Alan was feeling.
"Let's find some cozy place to catch up and explain a few things. Okay? Oh, and while we will be at it, dear martial artist, please make sure to call the headmaster for me. It's regarding the Heavenly Star Warrior."
Zoemi clapped his hands to snap the group from the state of shock and proposed while turning towards Marcus who still stood there speechless staring after the wind dragon who was long gone by that point.

"It sounds like you are not telling us everything, Zoemi."
Devios refused to sit down with the rest and instead put his against it and leaned towards the casual black-haired man.
"Because I am withholding a lot of information that doesn't have anything to do with what is currently going on and would make you all only worry about me a whole lot more than necessary."
Zoemi crossed his arms and declared looking up into Devios's face.
"Instead of recalling my experiences in this land, I would much prefer getting caught up to date with the events back home, how are you, and so on."
Zoemi rolled his eyes before moving his hand as if he was shoveling the things that weren't interesting for him in favor of the more important things.
