We were in the middle of searching. I wonder how much time would it take to find Ouryuu. We had some free time now, so we decided to make a break. Jae-ha caught us a deer. Yona and Yoon were the ones who had to prepare the meat. I didn't have anything to do, so I watched them. The princess was slicing the meat. She had a hard time, but didn't give up.

Suddenly, we heard a loud growl. There was a boy sitting next to Yona. The growling came from him. He was drooling, too.

"Who are you?" Yoon asked.

"Oh, no need to be concerned. Just passing through. Drool always comes out." He seemed too carefree. "There was a tasty smell. So I came!"

"It smells like raw meat and blood." I told him. He glanced at me. I got a weird feeling.

Yona invited him to eat with us. Hak was curious about the new person and asked her about it. She explained only about the traveler part.

Meanwhile, the three dragons were talking about something. Jae-ha gestured me to come closer to them. "Rei dear, don't you feel something weird?" He pointed at the blonde traveler.

"Actually, yes. Could he be the..." Kija nodded.

"Hey, you guys! Come over here and eat!" Yoon called us.

"So there's no mistake about it." Jae-ha said. The rest looked at us confused. "Well...how should I put it? It's about that boy there that's been eating meat for a while now. We think...he's Ouryuu."

Now the whole attention was one the boy. "Hm? You called?" He asked while munching on the meat. "Oh! On closer inspection...there's Hakuryuu...Seiryuu...Ryokuryuu...and even a Hanyou! That means...everyone is together now." He bowed.

Everyone overwhelmed the Ouryuu with questions. "You're all so restless. Zeno is properly sitting down and eating. Isn't Zeno a good boy? Oh, Zeno is my name."

"What's with that lazy self-introduction?" Yoon made a funny face.

"Hey! What did you mean with: Hanyou?" I asked him. Yoon and Hak are ordinary people, Yona is the reincarnation of King Hiryuu and the rest are the dragons, so he was talking about me. What's even a hanyou?

"Zeno spoke about you, miss Hanyou. Didn't you know that?" He tilted his head.

"No. I didn't..."

"What is a Hanyou?" Yona asked.

"A half demon." Kija spoke.

"You are a demon?!" Yoon screamed. I couldn't say anything. I knew that I wasn't an ordinary human...but to be a demon?!

"Half." Zeno corrected him.

"So that's what you were." Jae-ha supported his chin with his hand. It seemed that he didn't care of me being a dangerous demon.

"You knew?" Kija asked him.

"You didn't? Her presence is different from normal people."

Kija looked at me. "Indeed, it feels different."

"So we got another freak in our group." Hak earned a hit from Yona.

"Hak! Don't be rude!" She scolded him.

The whole group was talking about me being a demon with ease. They took it too well.

"You...you guys don't mind it?" I asked hesitantly.

"Of course not! You are like a sister to me." Yona smiled.

"Like a sister, huh? Thank you." I smiled at her.
