Father, I Won’t Do Anything - Chapter 32

‘Is it because he’s still a child that’s why he’s a  fast learner? Or is it because he’s the male lead?’

Jayna clicked her tongue out while looking at Rosian, who already had memorized all the moves in just two tries.

“Like this… Right?”

“Yes, exactly.”

How long has it been? Jayna looked at Rosian, who had memorized it without even knowing the meaning of the song, with a surprised face.

‘As expected, the main character is really different from everyone…”

Given that he is this world’s best swordsman who just had a late start than others; something like this wasn’t extraordinary at all.

Clap! Clap!

There was no hesitation, in his palm, bumping to hers. He knows the next moves and was moving in advance.

‘In fact, there were some moves that I didn’t know how to do.’

But Rosian was doing it all in a clear motion.

“Funny. Miss Jayna knows a lot.”

“Next time, I’ll teach you ‘Silduki’*”

(T/N: Literal Translation: Threading: It is a game played using a ring-shaped string.)

“Sil-du ki? That’s a strange pronunciation.”

While singing and constantly bumping their hands, Jayna suddenly felt tired.

‘I’m having a hard time with my small hands.’

And in a moment’s notice.

Clap!

Being pushed by Rosian, who was moving his hand at a very high speed, Jayna’s small body stumbled over.

‘Disregarding the age difference, I’m still a dragon.’

Jayna was shocked inside.

Rosian, who immediately caught the stumbling Jayna, embarrassedly said.

“I’m so sorry, Miss Jayna! I thought it was fine, since I didn’t use much power…”

“….. I was just surprised because you were stronger than I thought. It is not your highness’s fault. I’ll grow up soon enough, so don’t worry.”

Rosian said, stroking Jayna’s head.

“I’ll be careful in the future; you can just take your time growing up.”

Looking up at the disheveled hair for a moment, Rosian said, while gently tidying her hair again.

“I messed up your hair, so I’ll tie it back for you.”

“Your Highness, will tie my hair?”

“Yes, I’m good at it.”

And his word hold true. Rosian, who bought a red ribbon nearby, skillfully tied Jayna’s hair halfway.

“Miss Jayna has good hair.”

One of the perks, of being born, as a dragon. Jayna turned her body, just to see her hair, halfway tied up.  It was her first time trying a hairstyle like this.

The red ribbon compliments the dress very well.

But Rosian looked somewhat disappointed. He looked at Jayna’s wandering hands that was empty of any other sort of jewelry and clicked his tongue.

“It’s a pity that only ribbons were sold nearby. I think that other things would also look good on you.”

“Since I have short hair, aren’t ribbons a great match to it? Does it need anything else?”

“Yes, there are many. There are also headbands and decorative clips…”

Rosian, who said that, laughed when he found a marketplace on the other side of the road.

“Miss Jayna, would you like to go over there?”

Following Rosian’s guidance, Jayna walked down to the side street. She thought it was just a corner, but when they entered it, it was wider than she had thought.

‘It’s not as complicated as she expected, nor was it quiet too.

However, all the people who entered the marketplace were unable to move easily.

What is it?

Each store has its own items. Jayna feels strangely familiar with this place.

While Jayna was looking around, Rosian, who had bought a handful of hairpins at the entrance to the market, said.

“Actually, the shops at the entrance to the market aren’t much to see. Most of the time, they sell “failure” and “waste.” If you want something ‘Real’ then you need to go deeper.’

“Really?”

“Yes, sometimes ‘treasure’ is found here. My father’s was the best example for it. He bought something here that had the power of the spirit and awakened himself as a spirit wizard.”

Rosian’s eyes glowed with excitement.

Jayna glanced at the unfolding objects, and then Rosian whispered playfully.

“Actually, you can buy hairpins anywhere else, but since Miss Jayna has come this far why don’t we go look around. Miss Jayna might feel something here that other people can’t feel.”

Then Rosian told Jayna he’d buy one thing for her, so she was free to pick one.

When Jayna tried to refuse.

“You’re not supposed to let a girl spend money on a date, right?”

Rosian deliberately frowned and turned around with exaggeration, then Jayna opened her mouth.

“I’ll do it.”

Rosian replied naturally.

“Shall I buy you pickles too?”

Jayna, who was relieved by Rosian’s joke, decided to look around.

Porcelain with fine cracks, fragments of broken mirrors, and pine nuts with peeled lacquer.

Filled with all sort of items, Jayna moved slowly.

It was a lot different from those who walked around with their necks stretched out in case they spot a treasure.

‘In the first place, if it’s a treasure, wouldn’t it be hard to find?’

As soon as she thought so, something popped into Jayna’s head.

‘So it turns out that the father of his highness was a spirit wizard.’

At the beginning of the novel, this was the street where Rosian, who lost his mother, wandered.

And as the main character, He happened to stumble upon a magic artifact while wandering, but Jayna’s wasn’t sure it would be here right now….

‘So will those things be here?’

Rosian doesn’t know it, but there are actually treasures of the dragon clan and necklace used by Princess Leanne in this market.

Jayna slightly widened her eyes . Perhaps one of them could be found with her own ability.

“Oh, there’s a place like this.”

Rosian walked along the road with Jayna and looked around. The path was twisted like a spider’s web but Jayna was walking as if she knew the way.

“Do you feel anything?”

“It’s subtle, but I can feel something.”

As Jayna, stopped, somewhere. Even in this market place, that has a long history; it was a shop with an unusually old atmosphere.

Ddalang-

“Welcome.”

As if he knew a guest would come even before the bell rang, an old man with his legs crossed greeted the two children.

“Yesterday, I saw two small energy at the constellation. They belong to little children as expected.”

“That little energy seems to be on your side, not us. We’re not that insignificant.”

Rosian, who always treated the common people with respect, retorted feeling offended with what the old man said and decided to speak informally to the old man.

At that moment, the old man’s eyes were covered in gray, and soon disappeared.

“Where are the rich lads, ladies? We don’t sell our stuff simply because you have money. You have to be qualified.”

“Even if I give you money as much as you want?”

“Ah, I’m all old, what’s the use of making money? But first, choose what you’re going to buy.”

Jayna closed her eyes. She seems to feel a faint sense of energy here, but it was cloudy and extremely difficult to determine exactly on what object it was flowing from.

However, she felt something reacting to her magic.

“That pot.”

“What?”

The old man was startled when Jayna went to the jar with her finger pointing at it.

‘You knew what that was so you chose it? But you can’t afford that pot.’

No matter how rich they are, how much money can this kids have, who seems too went on a picnic?

“You managed to find a good one. But this is something you can’t aff—”

“Is this enough?”

Rozian smiled and offered up a bundle of gold coins. The face of the old man who confirmed it changed at once.

“Your parents will come to complain about why you bought it lat—”

“But would my mother blame me for giving a girl a gift on a date?”

The old man coughed and quickly picked up the bundle of gold coins. He seems to be regretting something and keeps on grumbling on his self.

“Do you know the real value of that thing? That’s something I’ve inherited for three generations, and I’ve only heard that it has hidden power. To be exact—””

At that moment, Jayna who was holding the jar interrupted the old man’s reply.

“Yes, I know.”

The old man rubbed his eyes and looked ahead.

For a moment, it seemed as if the pot was spewing some unknown energy.

‘Is it because of the mood?’

He swept the stack of gold coins in his hand and touched his chin.

‘No way, I haven’t felt anything at all in these three generations.’

The old man soon burst out laughing.

“In any case, it has been paid anyway, so there’s nothing to worry.”

They were children who felt as strange as their extraordinary appearances, but since they couldn’t feel the energy, he just decided not to care.

And after a while.

Ddalang-

“Let’s pick the most promising one here.”

“Hey, old man. A customer came, but why you’re greeting like that?”

Two other guests opened the door and entered.

The old man thought with a shrug.

‘I guess the two little energy weren’t from those little guests.’

****

“Miss Jayna, is that one all right?”

“Yes, of course. Thanks to you, I really got a valuable treasure. Thank you.”

‘It’s a great harvest to get a holy relic here.’

If, as Michael said, the dragon’s power is getting weaker, every single relic will be precious to them.

Probably, she could bring this to her Dragon Relatives, to make a contribution.

Her reputation, which used to be a disgrace to the clan, the mixed breed, and the tribe’s doormat, may improve a little better after that.

‘But you don’t have to do anything good to others when you’re kicked out, do you?’

Jayna then pondered what to do with the relic she had obtained.

It’s obviously a precious thing, but it was not a necessary for her right now.

“Miss Jayna, then let’s go— Cough.”

And it was when they’re walking down the streets, after leaving the store…

“What is that?”

Something like mediated smoke was rising from beyond the sky. Subsequently, people’s screams rang across the market.

“Please help!.”

“Save me!”

Running down the road, there was smoke coming from a burning building, and people were stamping their feet anxiously.
