I Was Just Having Fun With The Time Limit – Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Three months ago.

There was one person who was secretly watching Honey Badger Kim Beolkkul exclaiming, “One more bowl!”

It was a woman with black hair and black eyes, uncommon on the continent.

She was so beautiful that people glanced at her.

Whether people looked at her or not, her eyes were only fixed on the honey badger.

“That, that’s not good. He’ll get a stomachache if he does that.”

She bit her lip slightly, fidgeted, and stamped her feet.

She was once known as the Black Flame Dragon who almost brought the world to the brink of destruction, but now she was a mother obsessed with her son.

A voice reached her ears.

━–This Sky Island is like my lair. I promised not to cause a scene. You know, right?

It was a voice full of Dragon Power（龍力）.

This was the voice of Duke Rovena, also known as the Dragon of Wisdom, Ravina.

━–Unni, stop Arun. He’s going to get sick!

━–Where is Arun? Get a grip, it’s not Arun, it’s Kim Beolkkul. Are you going to keep blurring the lines like this?

There is an unwritten rule among dragons.

When a dragon transforms into another creature, it is respected as that creature.

So, the Dragon of Wisdom, Ravina, is not Ravina but Rovena, and Arun is not a baby dragon but the honey badger Kim Beolkkul.

It was right to treat them that way.

━–But Unni, I’m telling you he’s going to get sick!

━–He won’t die, don’t worry.

━–How can you be so indifferent to your nephew?

━–Where do dragons have nephews! Stop looking at me from a human perspective.

━–You’re human now.

━–Then even more so, a honey badger can’t be my nephew.

Rovena’s head thundered.

━–I won’t fight with words!

Those words sounded like a protest, as if to say, “I’m not going to have a petty argument anymore. I’m just going to destroy the world,” making Rovena shudder.

Rovena let out a deep sigh.

━–I’ll help him not get sick. So please just stay put.

━–Really? You’ll do that?

━–Your voice sounds quite different, doesn’t it?

━–Because I love you, Unni.

━–If you love me twice, there won’t be a world left.

She ended up imagining the horrifying sight of Sky Island being split in two.

Rovena sighed again, “Whew-.”

━–Grow up, please.

Anyway, Rovena was trying to meet Viaton because of her younger sister’s earnest request（?）.

But Viaton came to see Rovena first.

“Teacher. I don’t say this often, but……”

“What’s up all of a sudden?”

“I came to say thank you.”

Rovena’s body flinched.

“It feels like it’s been ten million years since I’ve heard you say thank you.”

“How can a human live for ten million years? Even a dragon can’t live that long.”

“If I put my mind to it, I could live for ten million years. I just choose not to.”

“How do you know that, Teacher?”

“……It was written in a book.”

“What book? I’ve read more than you, Teacher, but I haven’t seen it.”

Viaton’s eyes narrowed.

Those eyes seemed to say, “I already know everything, Teacher,” which made Rovena feel bad for no reason.

“If you came to say thank you, just say thank you. Don’t nitpick.”

“I’ll do that for you, especially.”

Rovena finally laughed at Viaton’s shameless attitude.

‘Anyway, it’s fun being with that guy.’

It’s fun, and

‘He’s a little cute.’

Perhaps because she was greatly influenced by the Black Flame Dragon Kadelina, she kept finding some humans cute.

Rovena shook her head inwardly.

‘I’m different from Kadelina.’

Her ego as a dragon was already fully established.

Living in human form was just a game.

There was no need to get too immersed in a game played for fun.

“Take this to the honey badger.”

“What is this?”

“Well…… it’s like medicine that protects the stomach and intestines. You take it when you have an upset stomach.”

“It looks like a jewel no matter how I look at it.”

“It just looks that way.”

“What’s the principle behind it?”

“Just, if your teacher tells you to take it, take it.”

“No, I’m just curious because it’s the first time I’ve seen it in the human world.”

It was as if he was saying, “You’re not human, are you?” to Rovena.

Before she could even ask, “What?”, Viaton quickly continued.

“Anyway, you’re saying I just need to take it to the honey badger, right?”

“Yes.”

Viaton quickly snatched the jewel and bowed gracefully.

“I’ll accept your words, Teacher. I’ll deliver it to Mr. Kim Beolkkul.”

✦✦✦✦✦✦

Isabel was staying on the top floor of the best accommodation on Sky Island.

Before visiting Isabel’s room, Viaton met with Narmore first.

“Study this for a moment.”

Kim Beolkkul would be suffering from a stomachache, but still, he had to endure it for a bit.

“What is this?”

“It seems to be a very precious jewel. I’ve never seen it before, but a certain special being gave it to Kim Beolkkul and Her Highness the Princess, you see?”

Did they give this jewel simply to cure Kim Beolkkul’s stomachache?

He didn’t think so.

If they wanted to cure a stomachache, they could just get a high-grade potion from the temple.

This place was completely Rovena’s domain, and getting a potion secretly wasn’t that difficult.

‘What is Teacher’s true intention?’

It would be true that it was a magical jewel that could cure a honey badger’s stomachache.

But behind that, something was hidden.

The perceptive Viaton did not miss it and carefully examined the jewel with Narmore.

After a little while, Narmore muttered absentmindedly.

“I’m not sure, but…… I think it’s one of the materials I’ve been looking for.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. I think I can make the TeyIsabel Transfer Gate more perfect with this.”

“I see.”

Viaton took the jewel and visited Isabel’s room. After all, the owner of this jewel was Kim Beolkkul.

He needed Kim Beolkkul’s permission to take it.

‘I wonder if his stomachache is severe.’

Sure enough, Kim Beolkkul’s whole body was red and he was in pain.

Isabel was genuinely worried about Kim Beolkkul.

With a sad expression, as if she was carrying all the pain in the world alone, she said,

“Teacher Viaton. Honey seems to be in a lot of pain. Can’t we get a healing potion or something?”

“We could get one, but we won’t.”

“Why? Because you’re not close with Honey?”

Viaton pretended to be talking to Isabel while secretly sending a message to Kim Beolkkul.

━–Mr. Kim Beolkkul, listen carefully.

Rovena told him to give this to Kim Beolkkul. If he didn’t keep this, Rovena would be angry.

He needed a legitimate way to make good use of this jewel without disobeying Rovena’s words.

━–This jewel can cure your stomachache. But on the other hand, it’s a jewel that can be of great help to Princess Isabel. If you eat it, your stomachache will be cured, but a good opportunity for the Princess will be gone. It’s a very, very sad thing.

Meanwhile, Isabel continued with an earnest face.

“I know Honey is a bit ferocious and not close with Sir Viaton. But he’s my friend. My friend is also your friend, Teacher Viaton. So why are you saying you won’t get a potion?”

Seeing her desperate eyes, Viaton almost handed over the jewel without realizing it.

He felt like he should just cure Kim Beolkkul first, regardless of help or anything.

‘Ah, that was close.’

Isabel was too lovely and cute to simply ignore.

They say the cutest things are the scariest…… his heart ached terribly.

━–If you endure your stomachache for a little while, it will be a huge help to the Princess. I can only transfer ownership of this jewel to the Princess if you agree. Instead of your stomach rumbling a bit, the Princess will seize good fortune.

Viaton said,

“So, I think he can overcome a stomachache like that. Because a honey badger is a honey badger. They’re very strong. Isn’t that right, Mr. Kim Beolkkul?”

At the words that it would be a great help to Isabel, Kim Beolkkul made up his mind.

『Of course.』

『Agreed.』

Viaton smiled brightly.

In the end, he legally received ownership of the jewel.

━–Good luck, Mr. Kim Beolkkul.

Thus, Narmore received the unidentified jewel from Viaton.

As Viaton said, it was a type of jewel that didn’t exist in this world.

Narmore studied the jewel.

The research was conducted with Marco Yurmiel, the best appraiser in the empire.

“Oh my, this is the ‘Thousand Eyes’ jewel, which is only recorded in our family’s secret documents. Even Master Sebastian, the founder of our family, only mentioned it…… It actually existed.”

Marco continued to admire the jewel and then asked,

“Are you requesting an appraisal from the Imperial Palace’s secret vault?”

It’s not like that, someone just gave it to me.

Unable to say those words, he asked,

“What is the Thousand Eyes that you’re so surprised?”

“According to the records, it’s a jewel that instantly copies a specific energy that meets certain conditions and scatters it around.”

“Can it also prevent stomachaches with this?”

“Theoretically, it seems like it could amplify the energy that cures stomachaches and spread it throughout the body.”

“If it’s theoretically possible, would there be cases where people actually take this as a digestive or stomachache medicine?”

Marco jumped up from his spot.

“Absolutely not! Who would use such a precious treasure like that? That’s no different from insulting the Yurmiel family!”

“Is there really no one?”

“If there is, it would be the crazy Mad Dragon Kadelina, who only appears in legends.”

“Hmm, I see. I understand.”

To mention the Black Flame Dragon, the Mad Dragon Kadelina, who had pushed the continent to the brink of destruction, was practically the same as saying it didn’t exist.

But then, Marco glanced around and lowered his voice.

“I have a secret proposal. Would you like to hear it?”
