The woman's hand pulled the doorknob, because the worn out door was heard as soon as she opened it.
The somewhat dim light of the lantern greeted him as he entered, his eyes staring towards the chair by the fireplace.
Though winter had not yet come, but the man was already silent with the anten in front of the fireplace as if the surrounding air was extremely cold.
The dark gray-haired man was sitting leisurely, one eye was covered in hair, he turned to look at the woman.
"Have you come, Miya?"
He said briefly, he looked at the woman, Miya, who had just entered.
Miya nodded, then walked in front of the man's chair.
"Have they slept?"
He said, directly asking.
"Yes, I've taken them to the remaining rooms. Now they must be sleeping"
The man nodded in understanding, the atmosphere there was silent again.
Miya put the warm tea she brought, saw the tea that had been served with a little snack to make the man happy. He picked up the tea, then sipped it. Although it was still hot, but he could drink it casually.
"Is this okay, Yula?"
Said Miya, she looked down at the steaming tea. The man, Yula, glanced towards the listless Miya.
He let out a long breath, a little irritated.
"I told you it's okay, you didn't act bad either"
"But I tricked them"
"You didn't cheat them, what you're doing now is protecting the kingdom you live in"
Miya still felt guilty, even though Yula had convinced her many times.
Seeing Miya's face that never cheerful make Yula have to explain again about her plan.
"Let's think about it, two strong men accompanying his superior who entered another kingdom, we don't know what they want to do. Will they send you a secret message? Or maybe declare war? That could have happened.
What you're doing now is anticipation, you're letting them into your house for me to investigate. If they are good, we let them continue their journey and ask for the good you did.
Conversely, if they have bad intentions stay you report to the kingdom for their follow-up, then you will be considered meritorious and at least they will give you a gift.
You didn't do anything bad, Miya, I promise"
Yula stopped her explanation, though she was irritated at having to say the same thing to Miya many times but strangely she did not feel any objection.
'She should be grateful that I've always been nice to her'
Yula is a difficult entity to do good to others, not because she is weak, but because she is too strong so she feels that she is the most powerful there.
It was already the nature of a Dragon, a powerful entity that could be on par with demons.
Yula was a Dragon, yet she was willing to help the humans in front of her and even bothered to intervene directly.
'Looking at her lethargic face is annoying, I don't like to see her continue to be like that'
"I said it, didn't I? You're not wrong Miya"
Yula said again, she was still trying to convince Miya.
Miya looked up, looking at Yula who sipped her tea.
"So what's the result?"
Asked Miya, she wanted to know what things to do with the three strangers.
Yula was silent, he put back the tea cup and took a snack of chocolate cookies.
While chewing the cookies he spoke.
"They're harmless, even though they're strong but I don't feel bad intentions from them."
Clearly Yula, said the results of his observation.
"'they're including the young lady?"
Miya asked, she was talking about Kasumi. The cookies in Yula's hand were up now, she patted her hand to remove the crumbs and answered Miya's question.
"True, he's strong. He is the leader I say that. And he seems to be the strongest"
Yula paused her speech for a moment.
"It was evidenced by his vision ability, although still young he could already see which flow. He knows I'm strong,"
That short answer left Miya shocked.
"Rubber. Therefore we must not judge a person only from the outside, even though he looks so weak that he needs protection from the two people, but actually inside him is sealed a very strong power."
Yula leaned back on the sofa, re-enjoicing the warmth from the fireplace.
"Looky! You know everything Yula!"
Miya exclaimed enthusiastically, her lethargic face as if it was gone now.
Yula puffed out her chest, she was flattered by the praise from Miya.
"I am a great dragon, surely I know about that, right?"
His speech was bragging, Miya nodded in agreement.
"But, do we have to hand them over to the palace?"
Once again Miya asked the same thing, Yula was really annoyed right now.
"Why don't you want to do it?"
Yula asked, she wondered why Miya had always thought of that. Normally he would follow every plan Yula had, yet now he was refuting too much.
"I, I felt something strange when I saw the young lady"
Said Miya, a little hesitant.
"What do you mean?"
Yula was silent, waiting for her continuation.
"Well, have you ever felt a longing for someone so deep that it felt like you could die from that longing? Me, I felt it when I saw the young lady.
We had never met even in a dream, but somehow when I saw him he was like my family that I hadn't seen in a long time"
Clearly Miya, she was so sure of her thoughts that. Yula snorted bitterly, she did not expect that the reason was so ridiculous.
"That's impossible, obviously your world is different. How can you be family?"
Yula said, she immediately denied it.
"Yes! But still, I feel like I have to protect her"
"Huh, don't be silly. Your powers aren't perfect yet, you can't protect anyone because that's why I taught you-"
Yula stopped her speech, she felt that she had spoken too harshly to Miya.
Miya's face bowed listlessly, smiling bitterly.
"Right, I'm far from perfect"
His words were short, there was no more spirit like that. Seeing that made Yula upset, no, maybe she was sorry for talking too loudly to him.
"Haaa. If that's what you want, we'll let them continue on their way"
Yula said, she finally gave up and let things go the way Miya wanted them to.
Only that could make Miya's mood good.
"really!? Really?"
Miya's eyes sparkled happily, she looked at Yula, demanding an answer.
Yula smiled, then answered Miya's question.
"Yes, but if they do anything suspicious we should send them straight to the kingdom, would you agree?"
Miya immediately nodded, according to him it was better than directly sending them to the kingdom when they were not necessarily doing evil things.
"okay! I'm sure they're good people!"
Miya exclaimed, her face excited again. Yula snorted, she felt that when she was with Miya her gentleness was always visible.
Seeing Miya's smile made her happy.
'In this world maybe only Miya is my weakness'
Yula so remembered the first time they met. It felt like just yesterday he found the injured Miya, but now Miya even seemed to be able to control it.
"I love you, Yula! You are the best!"
Miya jumped up and hugged Yula, Yula's body instantly stiffened due to Miya's sudden actions, when she realized Yula's face instantly heated up. He looks like a boiled crab now.
"Hey! Quickly get off my lap!"
Yula tries to let go of Miya, but it's free. Miya hugged him very tightly, Yula's face was getting hotter now.
'He can drive me crazy!'
