Dragon Genesis: I Can Create Dragons

Chapter 343: Why would you be sorry about it?

“You’re not like I expected.”

Kael spoke as he looked at the woman sitting beside him.

“What does that mean?”

Alrisa tilted her head with a smile, slightly confused.

“I mean, with how the Matriarch introduced you, someone working under the High Chronicler, Keeper of Records, and all that, I thought you were the type to exclude yourself from the rest of the world and only focus on your work.

Someone formal, cold even.

I definitely didn’t think you would know how to forge.”

Kael then momentarily stared at her fingers that looked no different than a Master Blacksmith’s before looking into her eyes again and—

“But you’ve proven me wrong.”

“Well, I did say I would guide you in the Forge.”

“I thought you would tell me about the ins and outs, like how the Forge contributes to people, its expenses, productivity and such.”

Kael answered.

“Would you rather I bore you with that? I can do it if you want, I know that as well.”

Alrisa answered. She seemed quite proud of herself, and rightfully so. She had learned everything from zero, and it wasn’t easy.

“No, I am fine. I probably won’t remember the details anyway.”

Kael shook his head.

“I thought so. This is why I didn’t say anything either.

The Matriarch tasked me to help you choose one of the six veins, there is no reason for me to bore you with numbers since you have no need for it.

Guiding you in how to work efficiently is much better.”

Alrisa explained and Kael noticed something,

“Are you saying… you don’t just know forging but other stuff as well?”

“Of course, I have worked in all Six Veins before I went to learn under the High Chronicler. I needed to understand everything from the ground up before I could grow.”

The Assigned Liaison nodded and Kael couldn’t help but be impressed.

The woman was like a walking encyclopedia of this place, knowing everything she had to know, and she was so young too!

She didn’t look a year older than twenty-five.

“You work hard.”

Kael praised and suddenly, Alrisa laughed lightly before she leaned closer to Kael, as if telling him a secret and—

“Hehe~ I did this so I could laze around while working under the High Chronicler.”

She laughed sneakily.

Kael tilted his head, curious and amused, and the Assigned Liaison continued,

“What I do is not even comparable to what most people here have to do. I only need to work for ten hours a day and the work doesn’t involve physical labour either.

Once I am done, I do not need to recover. I am truly free after doing my part!”

Alrisa spoke excitedly and Kael…

He just couldn’t help but smile as he stared at her.

Honestly, a part of him felt a little strange. He came from a world where working 10 hours a day would be considered torturous. Adding that to the living conditions here? It was a nightmare.

’Fantasy worlds have their own problems huh…’

He thought inwardly.

Soon, he stared at Alrisa and—

“Then you really must not like me, huh? I need to work for twelve hours and according to the Matriarch’s instructions, you would need to stay with me during those hours. Because of me, you need to work for two more hours.”

“Ahaha~ That’s not true.”

Alrisa shook her head with a laugh.

“Hmm?”

“I will be compensated for the amount of time I work as your Assigned Liaison.”

Alrisa answered excitedly.

“Is that so?”

Kael muttered as suddenly, Alrisa leaned close to him again, telling him another secret,

“Also, working as your Assigned Liaison is actually good for me. The work is easy, I simply need to guide you without having to put much effort on my own.

It would have been different if you were a difficult person to deal with, but that is not the case. You are polite and respectful, it is actually fun talking to you.

So for me, working as your Assigned Liaison is like getting paid to talk to a friend~

Hehe~ This is like a dream come true.”

The woman blinked.

Kael laughed at that,

“I will take that as a compliment.”

He answered. Alrisa nodded back and then—

“Yes, it is a compliment. Because of you, I don’t have to work much and I’ll also get more compensation. You are like a blessing to me!

So if I ever make a mistake, please don’t complain to the Matriarch. I promise I will figure out a way to solve it.

Please do not kick me out, Dragon Rider Kael!”

She spoke, clasping her hands together.

“Yes, yes, I won’t.”

Kael answered with a smile. He had no clue where this came from.

Still, wanting to know more about this, he asked another question,

“What is this compensation you are talking about?”

“Hm? Compensation comes in different forms. Most take extra provisions, but I don’t need that. I earn enough provisions and my parents abandoned me when I was a child because my father did not wish to feed me, so I am not responsible for them now that they have aged.

So my compensation is lesser work hours in the future. The amount of extra hours I spend with you will all be counted and compensated in the future.

Hehe~”

She laughed, making a victory sign with her two fingers and Kael…

He did not know how to react to those words.

Did she just… say she was abandoned by her parents…?

How could one say that with such a smile on her face?

Is it because it no longer bothers her? Is she trying to hide her pain behind her smile?

For some reason, Kael felt that wasn’t true.

“I am sorry.”

Kael apologized lightly. Whatever it was, he felt like this was a difficult topic for her to talk about. He felt bad that it was brought up. He shouldn’t have asked so many questions.

“Hm? Sorry for what?”

Alrisa however, tilted her head in confusion.

“About your parents?”

Kael tilted his head, not knowing how to explain.

“Why would you be sorry about it? That’s the best part, isn’t it?”

“Huh…?”
