Chapter 67.5

Cale gave an order to the group, who were all looking at him. “Let’s go.” Boooooooooooooo- The horn sounded their departure across the Ubarr sea. The ship was disguised as a trade ship. Well, that wasn’t really a disguise. ‘It is a trade I am making after all.’ But it will naturally not be a fair trade. It would be very beneficial for Cale, but unfair for the other party. - Human, do not smile like that. You look like you are going to scam someone again. He could hear the Black Dragon’s voice, but chose to ignore it and enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze. Just like that, the ship started to head for the Whipper Kingdom’s smallest port. Later that night. Cale was not sleeping but standing on the deck. It was close to midnight, so nobody else was on the deck, but the deck was lit up and the full moon made it not dark at all. He was planning to meet some guests here tonight. Cale leaned on one of the railings as he calmly looked out to the ocean. It was at that moment. “Human.” The Black Dragon revealed himself and approached Cale. There was no need to be invisible because nobody else was here right now. “What?” “I was just wondering...” The Black Dragon seemed to have a lot on his mind. No, he seemed very suspicious as he blankly looked Cale up and down. “...Is the name you are thinking of a random word?” “What the hell are you talking about?” The Black Dragon seemed very concerned. “I feel like you will pick something like Black or Dragon.” “Ah, your name?” The Black Dragon was talking about his name. Cale made a very serious expression at the 4-year old’s very concerned question. “...Is a name like that not very good?” Cale’s expression was very serious. The Black Dragon had not seen Cale look so serious for a while now. The Black Dragon’s eyes started to shake as he urgently responded. “Not at all! I am fine with anything! It is fine as long as you give me a name, human! Do not worry!” His wings were fluttering rapidly, and his tail was shaking as he strongly appealed to Cale. Cale’s expression instantly turned normal like he was never serious at all. “Then I am glad.” He then casually continued on. “Raon, On and Hong would have been sad if they heard what you said.” Silence suddenly filled the area. “...Human, what did you just say?” Cale had actually thought a lot about the Black Dragon’s name, contrary to the Black Dragon’s expectation. A name was a special thing given to someone. For Kim Rok Soo who had to live on his own, the only thing that was given to him by his parents was his name. “Your first name is Raon.” Raon. It meant joyful in pure Korean. “And your last name is Miru.” Miru. Pure Korean for Dragon. Joyful Dragon. It was a funny name, but Cale had come up with it with full sincerity. He was worried that Choi Han might be suspicious of a pure Korean name, but he had come up with an excuse for that as well. A calm voice reached the Black Dragon’s ears. However, The Black Dragon had never seen such an expression on Cale’s face before. A calm smile was on Cale’s face right now. “I came up with this name in the hopes that you will be happy and live a joyful life.” “...What does it mean?” The Black Dragon asked Cale for the meaning of the name. Cale pointed to the Black Dragon with his index finger. “You.” Raon and Miru. Neither of these words existed in this world. There was only one thing these two words stood for in this world. “It is you. They are words just for you and only you.” “...Only me?” “Yes.” Cale started to smile as he patted the Dragon’s head. “Since you are a great and mighty dragon.” “...Only me ......” The Black Dragon mumbled to himself for a while before patting away Cale’s hand from his head and stretched out his wings. His wings were fluttering rapidly as he snorted. “I guess it is useful. I will do you a special service and use this name.” “Sure, Raon.” The Dragon started to scrunch his nose. The corners of his lips were twitching as he flew up into the air. “I am the great and mighty Raon Miru.” “Yes, Raon.” “Right. I am Raon.” The Black Dragon had received a first name and a last name after four years of life. He now had something other than his body that belonged to just him. The Dragon raised his head. He could see the darkness of the night sky that was different from the darkness inside the cave. It was a night like this when he had been rescued from the cave. The Black Dragon, Raon, would never forget that moment. He also felt like he would never forget this moment either. Cale raised his head like the Black Dragon. The night sky was the same no matter where he went. He could hear Raon’s voice as he blankly continued to stare at the sky. “Thank you, Cale.” “...What?” Cale looked toward Raon with surprise. However, The Black Dragon was already back to normal. “Human, how is it that you cannot understand the first time?” “Why don’t you say it once more?” Cale started to smile as he tried to pat Raon’s head. Raon headbutted the palm and strongly objected. “No. I really, truly, absolutely will not! Weak human, go inside and sleep! You will catch a cold.” However, contrary to his actions, Raon’s wings were fluttering and his tail was wagging like On and Hong. Cale quietly laughed at Raon’s appearance. The quietly laughing Cale was very visible, even though it was night time and they were out in the ocean. “I think it will be difficult to go back in.” “Why is it diff-.” Raon suddenly stopped talking before looking out into the ocean. He was looking at a spot far from the ship. Splaaaaaaaash- The water parted as a large existence slowly showed itself. It was a Whale. It was at that moment. “Cale-nim!” Someone urgently shot out from inside the ship and was rushing toward Cale at a very fast pace. It was Choi Han. Choi Han had a worried expression as he inspected the existence that was slowly revealing themselves. He then turned to look at Cale and approached him. “Hmm?” It was then that Choi Han could see it. Cale was waving at him to go away with a very annoyed expression. The Dragon Raon then scoffed at Choi Han and started to speak. “They are not enemies.” “What?” Choi Han turned to look back at the ocean. At the same time, Cale stopped leaning on the railing and bowed his head toward the ocean. It was not just one Whale. There were three Whales coming to them. The guests had arrived. One was Witira, the Humpback Whale. The other was a Killer Whale. And finally. “I greet the Whale King.” Cale greeted the largest of the three, a Humpback Whale, the Whale King. ******* Being on the same boat is a metaphor for being on the same side. Apparently there are some words that are, ‘pure,’ Korean and not referencing Chinese at all. There are only so many of these words, but the author is choosing to use it for the Dragon’s name.
