Part 4

**Part 4** is the fourth part of the Karsearin: The Biography of the Super Dragon.

## Plot

The trading city of Lael. It is a commercial city that is ranked at the top among the Six Nations Alliance of Heid. Located at the end of the Lartead Mountains, it is a megalopolis with a population of 10,000 that plays an important role in trade between the Empire and there, while also playing an important role in the traffic between the Six Nations Alliance. Although it is a port city, it is also in charge of trade with the Karsel Kingdom, one of the Six Nations Alliance located inland, so it is in a diplomatically important position. This is because the only way to communicate with the Karsel Kingdom where the trading city Lael is from here is through the Hanan River that connects the Batran Kingdom and the Karsel Kingdom. This is because the Al Kreed Mountains, which draw the border between the Batran Kingdom and the Karsel Kingdom, are the habitat of the terrifying red dragon Karsearin. But now, that terrifying red dragon, Karsearin, was busy chasing after a human young man while looking around. Arin keeps looking around and shouts ooh, wow, whoa, and amazing. The human race he longed to see is teeming everywhere, as if they were pressed out with bread mold. There were a lot of humans, there were many houses, there were clothes hanging on sticks (which Rake taught that it was called a tent), and there were things that Arin couldn't figure out how to use. Seeing Arin like this, Rake kindly taught him that this place was called the 'Market', thinking that even before he lost his memory, he seemed to have lived in a fairly remote place. Since the dragon doesn't have to go to the grocery store to prepare dinner, nor can he live in a place like a house, Arin just looks strange. Dragons strictly divide their territory—even between parents and children. Karsenian, who's Arin's mother, does not live in the same area as Arin, but lives a completely independent life. Of course, if it is to enter the territory of the same clan, you can go in after asking for permission, and you can go in and do your own thing, but the lazy dragon (probably the most lazy race in the world is the dragon, because once you sleep, you don't wake up for 2-3 years) It's rare to create such a nuisance that you have to get into the realm. Looking at the tightly attached buildings, Arin thinks that, as Mr. Karstein said, humans like to group together. Rake stopped him and he told Arin that he was all over and that he was talking about over there. The place that Rake pointed to was a building made of three-story stone walls, from which the rattling noises leaked out. Arin hesitated for a moment as he looked at the entrance of the building with the sign that said [Travelers' Resting Place], but he continued walking along Rake's back.

A rough-looking, middle-aged man in his 40's was holding Arin's chin with his finger like he treats him like a girl, stating and says that he had amnesia. It's pretty rude when he know it, but Arin doesn't know what to do, so he just sits still. Rake asks the middle-aged man what he thinks, and he replies with a smile that he's fine, then tells him to follow him for a while. After ordering him to give Arin two slices of bread and a glass of fruit juice, Rake and the middle-aged man went into a room that looked a bit suspicious at the bottom of the stairs going up to the second floor. Arin slowly looked around him to see if everything was strange about him. Tables and chairs and people sitting on chairs or on tables drinking alcohol. They all looked happy, and a smile lingered on Arin's lips. As he entered the tavern—as Rake told him—Arin looked around and found a book of him protruding through his backpack, which Rake had thrown wildly earlier. Arin decided that if it was a precious thing that shouldn't be looked at, it wouldn't be handled so harshly, so even if he looked it up, he wouldn't angry to him much. Arin is reading a long titled book, [Mountain Structure and Monster Habitats for Travelers] and spouted out the juice he was eating while reading it. Ignoring the people around him who thought he was drinking juice and vomiting, Arin read the book again. That's where the name he hears so much comes from.

-The Al Kreed Mountains- Representative monster: ferocious red dragon Karsearin- Age: estimated to be about 7 to 800 years old- Arin reads that part and leaves a feeling of reading about who made up his age like this. In the part about 200 years ago that he built a nest in the Al Kreed Mountains, he says he isn't to build a nest like a bird. In the part about burning four mountain villages in Al Kreed and slaughtering more than 200 people, he grumbles if humans lived nearby he isn't suffered like that. As for the fact that he commands an army of monsters, like griffins, wyverns, orcs, he says, he never command them, but he did carry them around as lunch. When he read about be careful as it is hostile to humans and there is a bounty of 30000 gold at stake, he wonders what the 30000 gold and bounty are and is it something about food. Anyway, it was Arin who thought it was a funny story and enjoyed reading it nonetheless.

After Arin sitting like that for a while and reading a book while sitting on the chair, shaking his legs, Rake's voice came from behind, asking him to bring it. A book he has read almost all of it without any regrets. Arin handed Rake the book and asked what he was talking about inside there. Rake says it isn't a big deal, and he's taken care of him by someone he knows, so don't worry about him and just listen to Carsan, he says, and says he can't go out with him anymore because he's busy with work. The first time we met was in the Al Kreed Mountains 10 days ago, and since then, the two of us have been wanting to eat together. It was because it was Rake who promised to take him only to Lael from the beginning, so Arin also assumed that Rake would leave soon. However, seeing the faintly happy expression on that Rake's face was a bit strange, but humans thought it was the way it was, so Arin just passed on it. A middle-aged man, whom Rake introduced as Carsan, called Arin to follow him this way, and he followed him up the stairs and entered the room on the second floor. Carsan let out a hard word growing up here, then pushed Arin into his room and locked the door outside him. Carsan's attitude was somewhat offensive to Arin, but rather than that, the scene in the room sparked more curiosity. He said that it was the bed he had only heard of, and Arin, thinking about the first time he and Rake were homeless, smiled and threw himself on the bed. It was because he remembered that he was curled up like a dragon in a human form, and after rummaging around for a while, he saw the form of Rake sleeping next to him, followed him and barely slept. He says it's fluffy. At first, when he learned the word fluffy from his mother, Arin, who couldn't quite understand it. He says that he didn't know anything about him, he also heard his words, he struggled, and he fell asleep as he thought it was worthwhile that he had turned book for six months. He's Arin, who had no idea how angry Karsenian and Karstein would be.
