Start from the beginning
                                    

<This is what the black dragon looks like. And imagine its eyes as color red>

Its eyes are showing with different emotions like pain, sadness, betrayal, anger, hatred and care.

It back away from me and when I tried to approach, it growls at me. It didn't try to hurt me but it snarl its teeth saying that I should go away... but how can I leave it when I was worried about its condition.

...So even if the dragon doesn't want me to come near him, I still approach him and help him to recover. Using my water attribute, I heal all of his wound and even its broken bones, I started to repair them. Controlling both water and blood, I fully restored its appearance back to its vigor and magnificent appearance.

I smiled at him and before I fainted, with my last strength, I help him unlock the chains using my hair pin to give back his freedom.

I woke up when I felt someone licking at me and saw Luna, again.

When I look around, the dragon was no longer here. It was gone

I don't know why my heart felt like it was piercing with millions of needles. My heart filled with sadness when I think that I will never see the dragon again.

After a quarter an hour of silence, I decided to go back to the guild and finished my quest.

I didn't notice that when I left the cave, someone with pair of crimson blood eyes were looking at me with sorrow before it flew away.

When I came back at the guild, I immediately approached watermelon oneechan who I found out that her name is Hana.

I showed her the magic cores of the horned rabbit as well as the herbs that I collected as a proof of completing my quest. After she was done recording my mission, she told me to went to Ana oneechan, her twin (they are identical twins, it was not easy to identify who is who except the tone and pitch of their voice as well as body structure and height) if I wanted to sell the horned rabbits. Hana oneechan was the one who's recording the mission while Ana oneechan was the one who buys the magical beasts that was not in the mission but we manage to kill. All the loots for subjugation are owned by the adventurers unless the mission was getting for something an employer wants. Killing horned rabbits was part of subjugation while gathering the herbs was a mission that the employer wants.

Magic core and monster core are same but also different. Monster core came from monsters like orcs, goblins, kobold, etc while magic core are from magical beast. The cores are used for magic tools, for example, ice type magic core or monster core can be used for refrigerator type magic tools. This are like electricity-slash-generator object for magic tools to function. Mostly, magic core has a higher price as they have purer energy than monster core but because monsters has a fast reproductive ability, mostly subjugation job are done to kill monsters than magical beast (unless they became troublesome to human being). Poison type magical beast doesn't have a core but instead an orb as the center of their power likes the snake-type beast.

I sell to Ana oneechan my ten horned rabbit and she was actually dumbfounded.

She asked me whether I was the one who killed this rabbit or I got an outside help. I said that I was the one who killed them, personally. I even showed the rabbits that I skinned (I plan to let our chef to cook them for dinner. They are tasty or so I heard) from my spatial pouch.

"You have spatial tools!"

I gave her my 'isn't it obvious' look... and I didn't saw the expression of other adventurers behind me.

"Ano, Ana oneechan I also killed some uh—high grade magical beast" I said in a low voice. I was shy to say it in proud voice since it was difficult to believe that I can kill a black viper in my age. She frowned at me, obviously didn't heard me and I asked her to come near me so I can whisper to her. When I told her about me, killing the black viper, she once again dumbfounded. She don't want to believe me but when she saw my earnest and serious look, she immediately left saying that she will notify the guild master.
