Chapter 28 - A dragonoid showed up

Chapter 28

A dragonoid showed up

Right now I am on my way to Helium sensei’s clinic but I am still thinking about Philia san and others.

I went inside and asked a nurse to meet Helium sensei. She then took me to him.

(Hello Helium sensei, I am Ray who came yesterday with the 3rd platoon soldiers…

I just wanted to see how Lily was doing today.)

(Ohh. Yeah I remember you ofcourse. Lily is doing good…

She seems a little down but maybe that will change if you meet her. )

(I was told that a sister from orphanage will come to pick her up. Is she here yet?)

(Yes, she said she would come at 3rd bell.)

(Ok)

After saying good bye to Helium sensei, a nurse guided me to Lily.

She like yesterday was sitting quietly on her bed.

But as soon as she saw me she came running towards me while shouting Nii chan!(in common language)...

I patted her head and she smiled.

(Hello lily, how are you today? Did you enjoy your 2nd parfait yesterday?)

(Onii chan, It was very good. Thank you…

Did Philia onee chan not come today?)

(Oh she is currently away for some work…

But as soon as she returns, she will definitely come visit you)

I donot want to worry her by telling her that Philia san went on monster subjugation.

(is that so? You know Onii chan, The doctor says Lily is cured now so lily can go home…

But where should I go Onii chan? Did the soldiers find lily’s mom and dad?)

Uff! What to tell her now?. This is just too sad.

(Yes we will be able to contact them soon…

You see, right now since people are scattered all over the place, it’s getting a little delayed…

But we will find them soon. So until then, a very kind friend of Philia san will take care of you…

There are lot of children at her place so you will be able to make lot of friends lily.)

(Is that so? But the nurse said I would be going to orphanage…

Lily still has mom and dad. Why should lily go to orphanage?)

Shit, can’t that nurse show a sympathy?

(As I told you lily you will be taken care by a sister who is a friend of Philia san…

That is the only reason you are going to orphanage, because that friend is a sister at orphanage.)

(Lily understands Onii chan...)

Lets make the mood better with sweets.

(Oh I almost forgot, Philia san told me to give you this…

She said since lily is such a good girl who does not cry, she deserves a reward)

(Really! What is it Onii chan?. Hurry Hurry show it)

I handed her the bread roll after taking out from my bag.

(Wow! Can Lily have it?)

(Yes but it’s not good to eat all of it at once okay…

How about eating two slices for now and if Lily will be a good girl again tomorrow, she will get the rest.)

The bread roll will be finished in 5 slices so it’s just fine.

(Ok! Lily promises to be a good girl.)

I handed her the bread slices and she ate them happily like a hamster.

I don’t think these temporary methods will work for long.

Since no news of her parents or their group has come, I can only imagine the worst.

Right now she is suppressing her sadness, but if this continues, it will not be good for her health.

But what should I say. Their death is also not confirmed yet, so its not like I can tell her that they are no more.

It will be good if the sister can do something for her. She needs someone to cry to.

Just then there was a knock on door and the nurse guided someone in the room.

It was a little girl about 4 feet 8 inches tall, wearing white dress that extended to about her knees.

She had green eyes, straight, waist length light blue color hair and a strangely mature vibe for someone so small.

But the most absurd thing about her was that she had two small curved horns on her head.

They were white in color and looked quite magnificent.

I decided to scan her.

------------------------------------------------------

Name ………………. Zephronix D Rohzon

Race ………………. Mixed dragonoid

Age ………………...76

Gender…………...... Female

Level ………………. 53

--------------------------------------------------------

What the hell!. She is a dragonoid.

Moreover she is 76 years old and has a level of 53.

Isn’t she the strongest person I have seen till now.

But why is she a kid?

Is it her human form that is like this?

Also since she doesn’t hide her horns, seems like their species is not be hostile to humans and vice versa.

But that may only be case in this country.

But why is she here anyways.

While I was thinking such things, the nurse introduced her to Lily.

From what I understood, she was the sister who would come to pick Lily up for the orphanage.

That was really surprising. I did not expect her to be the sister of orphanage.

Lily too, after listening to that, was confused that the person she would be in care of would be a child like her.

The person in question also spoke to Lily kindly and then looked at me while blinking her eyes as if to ask that if I was lily’s guardian or something.

I then connected with her using telepathy.

(Hello, I am Ray. Are you the sister from the orphanage, that will be taking care of Lily?)

(ohhhh… been a while since I talked with telepathy. Are you perhaps not able to speak?)

(No its not like that, actually I just don’t know the common language.)

(Arre..? That’s a rare thing….

Common language is spoken on this whole continent you know…..

Except, among the long living species that speak the ancient version of Ellisium language.)

(Yeah, I came from far away actually. So, will you be taking lily?)

I tried to divert the topic hurriedly.

(Yes that is so and are you lily chan’s friend? )

(Yes, I hope it doesn’t offend you but I just wanted to make sure that she will be taken care of properly…

and if you don’t mind, I would also like to visit the orphanage with lily.)

(Oh sure, you are most welcome. We take pride in how good we run the orphanage…

Ara~ I almost forgot to tell you my name...

I am Zephronix, you can call me Zephy onee sama Ok…

And even if I look like this I am older than even your parents you know.)

She said while putting her hands on her hips and puffing that swollen chest even more.

(Yes, best regards Zephy san)

(Mou! Zephy Onee sama!)

I just ignored her because seeing her puffing her cheeks was very cute and I wanted to tease her more.

Also when she gets excited while protesting, she starts moving her fists rapidly in protest and that makes everything jiggle.

I decided to talk to Lily.

(Lily, she is the person who will be taking you to the orphanage. Are you ready to go?)

(Will you also come with Lily, Onii chan?)

(Yes don’t worry, I won’t leave you until you say so…

And don’t worry if you didn’t like it there I will make sure to find some other place for you…

I would have taken care of you myself if you liked but the thing is I also don’t have the means….

Also I think you will be much happy while living with other children. There you can learn a lot of things and play with your friends. )

(Ok, Onii chan, Thank you for doing so much for Lily.)

Saying so, she came towards me and bowed.

I patted her head in return.

While this was going on, I saw from the corner of my eyes that zephyr san was smiling from ear to ear and even had tears in her eyes.

It would have been all good if it was just that but for some reason there was also some drool at side of her mouth.

I am having doubts now. Will Lily be fine with her? Dragonoids don’t eat children right?

After such talks we left the clinic with Zephy san in lead.

I am still a little in awe seeing how a dragonoid is walking in front of me with a pair of horns.

And to my surprise the people are also not paying much attention to us.

Zephy san walks like a child while skipping her steps.

Currently she is holding hands with lily and both are walking happily.

I hope they become friends soon.
