One stormy day passed, followed by relatively peaceful days. Of course, Yul’s lower body didn’t survive, but it was an unavoidable issue as long as he transmigrated into the Beautiful Life genre.

Today too, Yul was playing fishing with Lucky while barely managing to calm his body that was crying out for help and hid himself from it for a long time.

Lucky suddenly became a black dragon. For Yul, who remembered the dazzling golden splendor, the black Lucky was unfamiliar at first. But even that didn’t last long.

Lucky, which was covered with black shiny scales, had boundless charisma that was not seen when he was golden. Of course, since it was a small dragon, that didn’t change the fact that it was cute.

In any case, Yul changed from a doll to a human, and Lucky changed from a golden dragon to a black dragon. Still, Yul was Yul, and Lucky was Lucky. That fact hasn’t changed.

Yul still wanted to get close to Lucky, which was still unfamiliar with him as a human being, and Lucky seemed to feel burdened by Yul.

Still, he was enthusiastic when they were playing fishing, so Yul found comfort in that fact alone.

“Huff, Lucky. Wait for a sec. Dad’s heart is beating so fast. I think it’s going to burst.”

Maybe it was Yul’s imagination, but after Lucky’s color changed, its stamina seemed to increase. It ran around so well while Yul’s stamina was only so much.

[Bii!]

“Ah, fine. Our Lucky is quite like a knife. Okay, the human heart doesn’t break that easily. I will try my best again.”

At Lucky’s dissatisfied cry, Yul gritted his teeth and fixed his fishing rod. He started playing around with the fishing rod again, spiritedly yelling, ‘Hacha, hachacha!’.

However, his back was so sore that he involuntarily straightened his back instead of bending over and started swinging the rod. Because of this, Lucky’s short forepaws could not catch the fishing rod. It jumped up and down in its own way, but it was not enough to catch the fishing rod that the human Yul waved high.

[Bii!]

“Ah, sorry. Dad is a bit of a bully… ughh! Lucky-yaaaa!”

Yul, who realized the situation only after hearing Lucky’s disgruntled cry, quickly apologized. But at that moment, Lucky’s little wings seemed to flutter, and Lucky flew up and grabbed the toy on the fishing pole with his paws.

It only flew up to Yul’s chest, and even though it was for an absurdly short amount of time, Yul couldn’t help but fall into a huge shock.

Lucky flew. My baby, who seemed so small and young! Flapped his wings and soared!

Yul pressed his chest with both hands. Still, his heart was racing, and it felt like his heart would explode more than when he was playing fishing.

[Biii.]

However, Lucky, the dragon that surprised Yul so much, was busy enjoying the time of victory by biting and scratching the toy he hunted.

“What is it, Yuri!”

Yul, still bewildered, was staring blankly at Lucky when the door burst open and Mikael appeared. He hurriedly approached and examined Yuri’s face and body here and there.

“Are you hurt? What’s going on?”

“It’s my back that hurts, and my butt, and some other places.”

Yul replied in a gruff voice. After hearing that answer, Mikael let out a sigh of relief. Regardless, Yul still had a dissatisfied expression on his face. Mikael pretended not to know when he begged and pleaded for his life, and now he was worried that he was injured.

“Then what happened?”

“Lucky flew.”

“What?”

“Lucky flew, flapping its wings. I was really surprised. How can it fly? Totally cool. My baby flew!”

Yul exclaimed, recalling the scene from earlier. The more he did, the more the emotions that had risen were revived, and his heart pounded. However, Mikael’s expression was very impassive.

“It’s a dragon, of course it can fly.”

“Aye, throw away the prejudice that all dragons fly. Our Lucky is something special.”

“I think I’ve said this before, but you’re talking like you’ve met other dragons besides Lucky.”

“I think I said it before, but I’ll say it again: let it go.”

Yul retorted to Mikael’s sarcastic reaction. He was stubborn in thinking that his child was the best as expected.

""

“Hm, anyway, so it started flying.”

“Yes! It flew. I think up to the height of my chest?”

“Then it will have to do flight training soon.”

“Yes? Is there such a thing?”

“Dragons instinctively know how to fly, but they need training to fly proficiently. Usually, they learn from the mother dragon, but Lucky can’t.”

To Yul, who was surprised, Mikael explained in detail.

Hearing that, it reminded him of a program featuring animals he enjoyed watching as a child about animals and how, when you get a wild animal, you have to train it to live in the wild based on its own instincts.

Of course, he had no intention of sending Lucky back to the wild, but since Lucky was also a dragon, he thought it would be necessary to make an effort for it to live according to the dragon’s nature.

“Oh, that’s right. How can I do it?”

“… Are you planning on doing that? Flight training?”

“Of course I will do it, who else would do it!”

“Of course, an animal caretaker should do it.”

""

“No, I raised it with my own hands until now, how can you say such harsh words!”

Blinded by his misplaced love for Lucky, Yul exclaimed in genuine shock. Seeing Yul like that, Mikael shook his head in disbelief.

“First, learn how to train from Jacob.”

“Yes!”

In the end, Yul, who got the answer he wanted, answered with a happy voice.

However, Mikael thought that even though Yul answered so adamantly, he would give up soon because it would be difficult once he actually got into flight training. He knew that the dragon’s flight training was that difficult.

Of course, there was no need to tell Yul who was so excited about this. When he got tired once he started training, and then he could subtly tell him to hand it over to the zookeeper.

However, Mikael soon had to admit that his thoughts were only an illusion.

* * *

It wasn’t long before Mikael, Yul, and Lucky were out in a huge garden in the archduke’s backyard.

Lucky seemed to be excited about going out, rolling around on the lawn.

Just then, a slender man walked over from a distance. He was an old man coming for Yul; Jacob, the animal caretaker in the service of the Archduke.

""

Jacob nodded and greeted Yul with a tired face. A man with pink hair who suddenly appeared one day in the palace of the Archduke might be suspicious, but Jacob was tired of everything in the world and did not wonder at all about Yul’s identity. He just wanted to take care of what had happened and take a break.

However, Mikael and Yul, who had no way of knowing what Jacob was thinking, were in a state of tension.

Mikael was worried that Jacob would question Yul’s identity, and Yul felt awkward saying hello to people other than Caleb, Levi, and Andrei, whom he saw almost every day, in his human form.

“Say hello, this is Yuri. Call him Yuri-nim. This is a tutor of sorts who’s been entrusted with dragon Lucky’s education. But since his first time, there are a lot of things he doesn’t know. Please teach him well.”

“Yes, I understand. Hello, Yuri-nim. My name is Jacob. I am a animal caretaker belonging to the Archduke.”

“Ah, yes! Nice to meet you. Jacob. I’m in your care.”

In fact, when thinking rationally, it was absurd to entrust the education of a dragon bestowed by His Majesty to someone who did not even know much about dragons.

However, from Jacob’s point of view, who was already on the verge of being swept away by the mountain of affairs of the Archduke’s residence, he was happy that he had been relieved of one annoying task, so he didn’t think too much of it.

“First of all, since it has completed molting, let’s check what the unique ability is. Last time, I couldn’t discover the unique ability.”

“Okay.”

Jacob looked all over Lucky’s body as soon as Mikael’s permission was given. After examining every part of his black body and touching it with his hands, his tired eyes widened.

He left Lucky alone and approached Mikael, shaking his head. Lucky jumped up and down and ran behind Yul.

“What’s wrong?”

“This…”

“Aaaaaaagh!”

Jacob’s question, which was trying to answer Mikael’s question, was cut off by Yul’s sudden scream. The eyes of the two instantly focused on Yul.
