Transmigrated as side character, I will steal all the heroines

Chapter 60: A Peculiar Dragon

"I don't know why but I do feel that this place's aura was familiar to me."

" Yeah, yeah. Me too, I always feel familiar when I go into a new place."

Ray said with a joking tone while teasing Rena.

" Humph, stupid Ray. I'm not speaking to you anymore."

Seeing Ray didn't put her words into his mind, Rena was angry. She kicked Ray's leg and went away from him.

" Stupid Ray, I'll explore this place for a while."

Rena left Ray in a fit of anger. Usually, she wouldn't even dare to move away from Ray in such a place. However, the familiar feeling from the tree somehow gave her a unique feel. She has the sense that there would be no danger around the big tree.

Upon treading the side of the big tree, Rena suddenly stopped on her track because she could feel some movement up front.

" Ray…"

" Yes, I heard it too. Stay here Rena, I'll check it."

Rena was about to call Ray, but he had already appeared by her side before she even called him.

Ray has been following her from the start, silently protecting her from any danger. Thinking of this, Rena's heart grew warmer, and all her anger toward Ray dissipated.

" Be careful."

Ray nodded at her and started walking towards the source of the movement.

* Some noises*

" This sound… It shouldn't be."

This time, it was Ray who felt a strangely familiar feeling. His pace grew faster, and he was now running toward it.

" No way… I must be dreaming."

Ray arrived at the sound source, and he couldn't believe what he saw over there.

There was a table for drinking tea, with a few chairs on its side. And, in the middle of it was a strange brown dragon sitting on the chair while sipping the tea.

" Osmanthus wine…"

" Tastes the same as I remember, but where are those who share the memory."

Unconsciously, Ray said those words that were hidden, deep in his memory.

The strange dragon looked a little bit surprised. He observed Ray for a bit before taking another sip of his tea.

" A traveler from another world… Interesting. It has been such a long time since his departure. I never thought I would be able to meet another one now."

Nostalgic memories hit the strange dragon. It was only for a concise moment, but it couldn't escape from Ray's perception. The peculiar dragon in front of him, Ray could feel the loneliness he emitted.

" Have you observed enough, young lad? If you don't mind, Care to join me for a drink, traveler?"

The strange dragon waved its hand, and a wave of energy came and surrounded Ray from there. The energy was very gentle, and Ray couldn't feel any malice from it.

Ray lets the energy guide him and brought him to the tea table.

As the energy waves finished bringing Ray to the table, the energy slowly diminished and faded away.

" I know you must have many questions, but could you please accompany this old self to drink this tea first."

Ray didn't reject and take a sip of the tea served by the strange dragon.

" How long has it been for me to enjoy such a beautiful tea with another person. Now, traveler, you could ask your question. I will try my best to answer your curiosity."

Hearing the strange dragon words, Ray didn't hold back and asked many questions that have been on his mind. Without Aina, he has no way to infer about this world, so he naturally would not let go of this chance.

From the strange dragon's mouth, Ray could get some helpful information. First, this special space or dungeon was a trial ground for the phoenix clan's ancestral race. This trial ground was protected by a giant snake, which the phoenix ancestor has sealed before his demise.

For the specific function of the trial ground, the strange dragon didn't know much. He only knew that the ancestral phoenix clan would use it to find their next successor.

" Then, do you know how to get back to our world?"

" Hmm, good question. But sadly, I don't know the answer to that question. From what I see, you must be a traveler from a distant world. Thus your world and this place should not be connected. Your arrival here itself has been a miracle."

Even though the strange dragon didn't give a specific answer to Ray, he didn't feel disappointed. He already got the mission to return to his world. Even so, he still wanted to ask the question as a precaution if he failed to accomplish the mission before Skye.

" It's okay. I don't really expect an answer to that question. Another thing that I was interested in is the fact that you talk about "his" departure. Have you meet a person from another world before?"

When Ray asked that question, the strange dragon became silent for a bit. His eyes showed a trace of melancholia, and the aura of loneliness became stronger.

" *Sigh* To answer that question, I could only say yes. There was a time where I traveled the world with a traveler from a distant place like you. It was such a fond memory of me, but sadly every good day must come to its end. I want to talk more about it, but it seems your friend has been waiting for you over there."

The strange dragon waved his hand again, and an energy wave generated to pull Rena from her hiding spot.

Ray looked at Rena who's face was flustered in red. She was anxious while waiting for Ray, so she decided to came here too.

" Hehe, Ray. You got me there."

Like usual, Ray sighed helplessly at Rena behavior. It was all good now that there was no danger involved, but things might get ugly if some danger lurked around.

Rena laughed awkwardly and stared at the strange dragon. She has been with Ray all this morning and has seen many kinds of spirit beasts. Even so, the peculiar dragon was different from all the spirit beasts she has seen before. She could feel the same familiar feeling at the dragon, like in the giant tree.

Just like Rena, the strange dragon also stared in disbelief at Rena. He looked like he has just seen a ghost.

" Fascinating. I never thought I would be able to meet you again like this."
