My Tamed Beast Returned with a Dragon Chapter 11 - Did You See That? Our Baby!

“Hah, Sol…”

Watching the match on the broadcast, Eunsae let out a long sigh.

With Mirinae, a healer, there, she wasn’t too worried about Sol’s injuries.

But for the next few days, the community was definitely going to be buzzing about today’s match.

After feeding the monsters, Eunsae went to the baby’s room.

Belquior was sitting beside the sleeping baby, reading a book.

When he noticed her, he lifted his head.

“What is it?”

“Hmm. Nothing. I just think the baby’s about to wake up soon.”

Eunsae smiled brightly.

It was nice to see the normally indifferent father spending more time with the baby.

Belquior frowned slightly.

“You smile too easily.”

“I smile a lot by nature.”

As if to prove her point, Eunsae beamed even wider.

Belquior’s frown deepened.

“Hngh… Hngg…”

“Oh, baby’s awake. Daddy and I were being too loud.”

Eunsae quickly moved to the fussing baby’s side.

The first thing she did was check his diaper.

It needed changing.

As she gathered the supplies, Belquior observed her closely.

“Father, would you like to try?”

“…Me?”

Belquior looked at her as if she had just suggested something utterly ridiculous.

“If I’m not around, you’ll have to do it. Do you even know how to change a diaper?”

“…..”

Belquior silently stared at her for a moment.

Then, with a slow wave of his hand—

“Oh!”

The baby’s bottom was suddenly dry and fresh.

Even the diaper looked brand new.

Eunsae blinked in astonishment.

Her eyes sparkled.

“How did you do that?”

“Magic.”

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

Even among hunters, there were magic users.

But magic wasn’t widely favored due to its long casting time and the difficulty of acquiring skills.

In the U.S., there was rumored to be a powerful mage who claimed to be Merlin’s descendant, but cases like that were extremely rare.

The baby wiggled his arms and legs.

“Ah, aww, ma!”

“Alright, little one. Should we go to the living room?”

Eunsae scooped up the baby.

Belquior closed his book and followed behind her.

Settling onto the rug-covered floor, Eunsae held the baby in her lap, basking in the warm sunlight streaming through the window.

The weather was perfect.

Baekhap, the jeweled snake, slithered over, carrying a ball with a bell inside.

Eunsae shook it gently.

Jingle, jingle.

The baby immediately reached out for it.

“Ahya! Hya! Kkeung!”

“Up you go.”

Eunsae laid the baby on his stomach.

She jingled the ball again.

Hearing the sound, the baby pushed up with his arms.

“You did it! Your arm strength is getting so much better. You might even roll over soon!”

Belquior gave her a puzzled look.

So what?

What was the big deal about rolling over?

The baby, still on his belly, wiggled excitedly toward the ball Eunsae was shaking.

And then—

Plop!

“Baby!”

Eunsae gasped and immediately caught him.

The baby blinked, surprised by the sudden change in perspective.

Then, seeing Eunsae’s flustered face, he burst into laughter.

Eunsae snapped her head up.

“Did you see that?! Did you see that?! Our baby!”

“See what?”

“He rolled over! Our baby is amazing!”

Her voice was brimming with joy.

Lifting the baby high into the air, she zoomed him around like an airplane.

Belquior was growing more and more confused.

“If he ever learns to fly, she might actually faint.”

He watched Eunsae with an odd expression, as if observing something truly bizarre.

Eunsae, meanwhile, grabbed her phone and snapped picture after picture with the baby.

She declared that today was a day to remember.

[Yoo Eunsae: Today, our baby rolled over for the first time! (Photo) (Photo) (Photo)]

A flood of notifications exploded in the group chat.

Eunsae, who had been quiet due to her sudden parenting duties, was now spamming the chat with pictures.

Sol, who had been getting healed by Mirinae while also getting an earful about her reckless fight, suddenly looked alive again.

The team scrolled through the pictures one by one.

“Both the baby and Eunsae are so cute.”

“Wait, the baby is already rolling over? I don’t know much about this, but isn’t that kind of fast?”

“She’s going to need to start feeding him solids. Does Eunsae even know how to make baby food? We need to check.”

They admired the photos with fond smiles.

Until—

Their expressions froze.

“…Who’s this guy?”

“Where?”

“Here. This picture. The guy standing behind Eunsae and the baby.”

In the photo, Eunsae was beaming with joy, holding the baby.

And right behind them—

A man stood in the background, expressionless.

Even among hunters who were used to seeing all kinds of gorgeous men and women, his appearance was strikingly out of the ordinary.

His sharp features practically pierced through the phone screen.

Mysterious sky-blue hair.

Glowing golden eyes.

He looked like someone had stolen a statue from the Louvre and brought it to life.

Sol immediately went on high alert.

“Is that the baby’s father? The dragon?”

“Oho. So, he’s home today?”

The teammates exchanged glances.

Then, without a word—

They bolted out of the guild.

Their destination: Hongcheon, Gangwon Province.

“Someone’s Coming.” Belquior muttered quietly.

Eunsae, who had been playing with the baby using a fabric sensory toy, turned to him.

“Huh?”

BANG! BANG! BANG!

“YOO EUNSAE! WE’RE HERE, OPEN UP!”

Sol’s voice.

She hadn’t even called first.

Eunsae, clueless about the situation, brightened and rushed to the door.

“Guys! What brings you here?”

“Ha, ha, ha! Of course, we came because we missed you!”

“Someone shut Namgoong Sol up. Why is she reciting a textbook?”

Yuha cringed in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Woori and Mirinae strode right past Eunsae and into the house.

But the deeper they went inside—

The more they felt an overwhelming pressure constricting their lungs.

Like they were stepping into a pitch-black cave where they couldn’t even see an inch ahead.

And then—

They came face-to-face with a presence unlike any they had ever encountered.

Belquior’s icy killing intent filled the air.

“Tch!”

Woori nearly collapsed to his knees.

He clenched his jaw.

‘Yoo Eunsae, are you insane?! You let that into your house?!’

‘That’s the dragon? Can we even fight him…?’

Seeing Woori and Mirinae freeze, the others frowned—

Until they, too, felt it.

Sol’s fighting instinct flared.

Inchan and Yuha tensed up.

The atmosphere became dangerously charged.

Meanwhile, Eunsae, who had been locking the door behind them, turned around—

And blinked in confusion at her friends standing frozen in the hallway.

“Why aren’t you coming inside?”

She poked her head out.

And spotted Belquior, standing off against Woori.

“Father? These are my friends. I told you about them, remember?”

“Mm.”

As if nothing had happened, Belquior retracted his killing intent.

The group, who had been debating whether to attack or not, were completely thrown off.

With Eunsae leading them, they all gathered in the living room.

Even though they were finally face-to-face with a dragon, their expressions were far from relaxed.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Eunsae cheerfully began introductions.

“This is Han Woori, my guild master. He’s a swordsman. And this is our vice guild master, Choi Mirinae. She’s a healer.”

Woori gave a stiff nod, while Mirinae cautiously studied Belquior.

“This is Namgoong Sol. She uses fire abilities—her surname is ‘Namgoong,’ and her first name is ‘Sol.’ Next is our tank, Seo Inchan, and last is Kim Yuha, who uses light abilities. They’re all my longtime friends.”

“I see.”

Belquior gave a half-hearted nod.

Since they had approached with open hostility, his first impression of them wasn’t great.

But since Eunsae seemed genuinely happy introducing them, he chose to ignore their rudeness for now.

“Guys, this is the baby’s father, Belquior. Like I said, he’s a dragon.”

For a brief moment—

They saw his pupils slit like a reptile’s.

Goosebumps.

And then—

“Wanna fight?”

Sol blurted it out immediately.

It was her bad habit—challenging strong opponents the moment she saw them.

Mirinae pinched the bridge of her nose.

“Sol, that’s rude.”

“Shut Namgoong Sol up.”

Inchan scrambled to cover Sol’s mouth—

But Sol stubbornly continued.

“Are dragons strong? You seem really different from the dragons we know. I’ve never seen one in human form before.”

“……”

“Isn’t it boring, holed up in the mountains just watching a baby all day? We’re among the strongest humans. How about a little sparring?”

Her teammates looked exasperated—but also… intrigued.

Especially Woori, who was watching Belquior with intense curiosity.

Belquior turned to Eunsae.

“Since they’re your friends, I shouldn’t kill them, correct?”

It was an arrogant statement.

Like a bucket of ice water, the mood turned frigid.

Instead of backing down, Sol grinned, practically bouncing with excitement.

“Now I really wanna fight you.”

“Let’s go outside.”

Belquior rose to his feet, scanning the gathered hunters.

Eunsae glanced uneasily out the window.

The sun was already setting.

“Uh… Right now?”

“Why delay?”

His tone was flat but final.
