Chapter 142 - What's wrong?

Jin and Kuroka went back to his house. Of course, Vali and the rest followed him including Ophis.

Mercphobia and Ranye were the only one inside the house as Ur and the rest were still on their trip.

When Jin arrived he found that Mercphobia was still in the same position lying down on the sofa, while Ranye was preparing the dinner. On the past year Ur thought her how to properly cook a decent food.

"Welcome back Jin!" Ranye greeted him with a smile on her face.

"I'm back." Jin remember when he first met her in Danmachi World. He didn't think that she could smile beautifully. He then turned his head to Mercphobia.

Mercphobia didn't even move even though he already sense Jin. He just want to comfortably lie down.

"Excuse us!" Le Fay said as she entered inside the house with Team Vali and Ophis.

They saw Mercphobia and Ranye. They focused their eyes on Ranye as she had a lower body of spider and upper body of human. They didn't even looked a second time at Mercphobia as he looked normal compared to Ranye.

"She...?" Bikou looked at Jin.

Jin know what he wanted to asked so he nodded his head. He doesn't want to make it more complicated for them so he could only nod at them.

Jin saw Ophis at the corner of his eyes. She was squatting in front of Mercphobia. She curiously poked her finger at his nose. She then started to poked his horn.

"Hey, hey, dragon-san, are you a dragon?" She asked. Mercphobia was the one who caught her attention as she could feel that he was a dragon but it's somehow different from the dragon she met before. She could feel the same aura from Jin and Ranye.

Of course, what she sense was their Demon bloodline. All the members of Thousand Abyss were now part of Jin's household members. They all have the same bloodline.

Mercphobia mouth kept twitching as he know that someone was bothering his nap.

Ophis question caught everyone's attention. They clearly heard that Ophis asked if the man lying on the sofa was a dragon.

"Albion..." Vali said in a low voice.

"Yeah, I could feel the draconic aura from him but there's something wrong about it." Albion replied to Vali

He know could feel that everyone was looking at him. Ophis kept poking his horn.

'It feels uncomfortable. I'm not Jin that I would enjoy something like this.' Mercphobia thought as the uncomfortable feeling grew stronger.

He couldn't hold it anymore, he opened his eyes and looked at Jin while pointing at Ophis. "Oi! Oi! Jin! What's wrong with this little girl? Why she's staring at me like that?"

He turned to Ophis when he saw her his expression turned serious. His instinct tell him that this little girl was dangerous. He haven't felt this feeling anyone other than Jin. No, this little girl was on completely different level than Jin. That's what he felt.

He looked at Jin up and down to check if there's evidence of battle.

'Don't tell me Jin got defeated easily and she's here to take over his subordinates. Or don't tell me everyone got capture and became a hostage.'

He looked at Jin as asked him 'What happen? Is everyone okay?' with his eyes.

Mercphobia turned his head once again at Ophis. This little girl was the strongest existence that met far stronger than Jin. Although Jin already told him that there's existence in this world that's far stronger than him, he still couldn't keep his calm when meeting someone in person.

"Dragon-san, are you a dragon?" Ophis asked with a curious expression.

'You already called me a dragon so why asking it!' Mercphobia retorted in his mind. He nodded his head at Ophis. "Yeah, why are you asking?"

Ophis didn't answer and she just kept observing Mercphobia.

'Oi! Oi! What's wrong with this little girl?! She only know how to ask but don't know how to answer!' Mercphobia also looked at Ophis.

Vali, Bikou, Arthur, Le Fay, and Kuroka watched the two with a dumbfounded expression. The two kept staring at each other. One had a curious and innocent expression while the other one had a fierce expression.

Jin too didn't know what's going on in the mind of this two dragon.
