I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

No, ordinary dragons wouldn't do such a thing...

he……

“...Kal'tsit. My name.”

It seems the other party really did happen to pass by and came to investigate after seeing this strange situation.

It wasn't about her... no, that's not right.

It seems that after she revealed her name, the other party's target changed to her.

The traveler could sense the other person's eagerness to try.

Is this situation because we didn't expect to run into her here?

"Kal'tsit. Very well, Kal'tsit."

I never expected to run into her here during the day.

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

Should we catch her and take her back now...? No, it seems like catching her back would only satisfy my urge to pet the cat.

and……

Bai Zhou glanced at Mon3tr protecting her from behind and swallowed hard.

He simply couldn't resist the urge to pet this cute little monster.

“My name is Bai Zhou, you may also call me Bai Zixi.”

"Bai Zixi..."

A name very characteristic of the Yan Kingdom.

Daytime...

Dragon... the Bai surname of the Dragon Clan...

and many more……

Daytime...Dragon...

A thought arose in the traveler's mind that even she found absurd.

What brings you here?

Why is Kal'tsit here?

Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be dealing with these monsters.

"It's just my duty."

“They are polluting this place, and if they are not dealt with in time, they will cause unpredictable damage to this land and the people who live on it.”

Bai Zhou nodded slightly in agreement.

This strange "spider silk" can transform people into those two kinds of monsters. Right now, it only inhabits this small town; if someone accidentally escapes...

"Do you know how to solve them?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why this fog has been here for years and is still stuck here?"

He squinted during the day and then looked at the still clear river beside the street.

"They are afraid of water."

"You are exceptionally wise."

It would take her much more time and effort to handle this alone. Kal'tsit thought it would be better to team up with him to deal with this problem for the time being.

But how do I persuade him?

If the other party's identity is really as she thinks... perhaps there will be a chance.

"Mr. Bai, may I ask what brings you here?"

“You already know, don’t you, Kal’tsit… Magistrate?”

"..."

That was his identity at the time...

Kal'tsit didn't really like being an official in any country, especially not in the Great Yan.

That would record her identity, appearance, and other detailed information.

This makes it difficult for her to stay there for long.

"Mr. Bai knows me very well."

Kal'tsit began to try to establish communication.

"I can't say I know everything, but I do know about 98% of the facts."

Daylight slowly circled around her... or rather, Mon3tr moved around. He wanted to know what the little monster looked like.

"Mr. Bai is incredibly strong. The fact that he was able to come here alone is truly admirable."

"It's just that the enemy is too weak. In the Great Yan, there are millions of people like me."

Bai Zhou's tone carried a hint of pride.

"Mr. Bai, would you be interested in ridding the people of this scourge?"

Kal'tsit made her first attempt to win him over and to find out his true identity.

"This isn't the Great Yan, so I have no reason to meddle. Besides, I only protect the people of Great Yan. What do I care about the livelihood of Syracuse?"

There's no mistake... it's the other party's identity...

The first phase has been achieved, and the second phase of the conversation will begin.

"Mr. Bai, you came here for me?"

Kal'tsit's eyes flickered slightly.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

Bai Zhou stood before Kal'tsit once more.

He smiled beneath the mask of the Heavenly Fiend.

"I am also a member of the Great Yan, Mr. Bai... would you really stand by and watch the people of Great Yan die?"

Kal'tsit does indeed have a registered residence in Yan. If the other party came for her, they will definitely be able to find that identity.

“You’re very eloquent, Kal’tsit.”

Bai Zhou slowly approached her, then raised his left arm horizontally.

"Water flows downwards."

The river, summoned, condensed into a trickle that gathered in the palm of the daytime, before turning into layers of solid ice that obscured the two people and Mon3tr.

The raging fire collided with the icy water, and the scorching heat whipped up a strong wind that surged past the two of them. The sharp, piercing boiling sound was swallowed up by the thick fog.

Zetton's Originium Arts were swallowed by this mist, and then spat out by it to attack them.

Bai Zhou raised his right hand and removed the hood that Kal'tsit was using to conceal her face.

Film's white hair revealed her appearance.

His expression remained as cold as ever.

"Kal'tsit. As long as you are a citizen of the Great Yan, I will protect you."

"I am extremely grateful."

Author's Note + Bounty

It will be available tomorrow. I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again because it's important.

Although I initially wanted to play the victim, after thinking it over, it seems I don't have much to offer. So, I'll just have to chat a bit and try to build rapport with you all! (I won't tell you that this is because I need to write more before I can post it!)

The inspiration for writing this book came from the resentment I felt after failing to draw Xi during the 280 draws during Jie Jie's anniversary event. The initial concept wasn't a tragic love story between a true dragon and an artist, but rather a random idea for a peach-eating story. It was revised again and again due to various reasons before finally settling on the true dragon identity.

Judging from the reactions, Yumaki seems to have written quite well... or maybe it's just that everyone likes sweet and erotic content, and Akuta just happened to write about that, which is why it received such a good response.

However, due to various setting reasons, Yumaki was destined not to have a long run, so it had to end abruptly. (The side story wasn't intentionally cut off, it's just that... ahem.)

Then I opened the Kal'tsit scroll.

Perhaps it's because there aren't enough new volumes yet, or perhaps it's because the Kal'tsit volume doesn't include Kal'tsit, but the response these past two days hasn't been very good.

And Jiejie did quite a few silly things this week, losing drafts all sorts of times... hehehe.

∠(?」∠)_Watching a show.

This paper will be quite long to write, and if nothing unexpected happens, it may become an annual paper.

As for the content, all I can say is—outside of the Great Yan, I am submissive; within the Great Yan, I will launch a full-scale attack!

Oh, and there's the matter of the bounty.

The current data is:

Monthly pass: 236 (let's round it up to 200, the remainder is added to the bounty)

Recommendation: 4425 (Let's say 4400, here are 25 more for you)

Tip: 5828 (Let's say 5800, the odd amount is added to the reward)

Blade: 109 (calculate to 100, then repeat above)

As a complete novice, I won't make any grand pronouncements like "one update for every thousand likes" or "one update for every ten thousand rewards."

Let's be practical.

The reward is as follows: 100 monthly votes for 4,000 words (two chapters).

One hundred recommendations for a thousand words (shouldn't be a problem...)
