My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: With a babysitter

Eren emerged from the blood-red water, his clothes sticking tightly to his skin while blood drops trickled down.

"That was refreshing."

This time, he cleaned himself and changed into dry clothes.

"Is Celeste up?" he asked while drying his hair.

"She is still sleeping," Xiu Ying answered while looking at the Phoenix which had long woken up.

The Phoenix was staying still, in order to not disturb Celeste who was sleeping.

"She has been sleeping for quite some time," Eren thought out loud.

He was quite curious why Celeste had started sleeping longer. Unfortunately, he had no reference to check as Celeste's species was unknown in this world.

He walked over to Celeste and carefully picked her up.

"Are you waking her up?" Xiu Ying asked after seeing his actions.

"We can't stay here longer. I think it is time for us to leave this island. She will have to sleep the old way."

He carefully placed her in his pocket, where she used to live and sleep during their long journeys.

"Are we going to do it now?" Xiu Ying asked.

Eren opened the map and looked at one particular spot.

"That is right. It's time for us to finish what we came here for. It's time for us to hunt a Sea Dragon."

"Hmm?"

As soon as Eren finished his sentence, he frowned at the sight of a screen that appeared before him.

[Option 1: Challenge and kill the one observing you in silence.

Reward: Thread of Marriage]

'The one observing me in silence? Clearly it can't be talking about Xiu Ying. Someone else must be here!'

Eren did not show much reaction on his face, even after the shocking realization. He continued reading the options.

[Option 2: Pretend as if you don't know anything and continue with your plan.

Reward: A coffin of your preferred color scheme]

'And the troll is back!'

Eren almost coughed out loud. It had been a long time since he saw an absurd reward like this. Still, it only made him realize what a dangerous situation he was in.

[Option 3: Give up on the plan and run back to the continent.

Reward: Luck +2]

'Run away and give up everything I strived for? No thanks. If I give up now, I might never have the courage to return.'

[Option 4: Tell the person observing you in silence that you want to surrender.

Reward: Unknown Key]

'I don't know the reward for the fourth option, but I won't leave my life in someone else's hands. So there is only one option left for me.'

He waved his hand and closed the system screen.

Unlike before, there was no restriction on taking Xiu Ying's help. He did not understand the reason, but he had a few guesses. It was probably because the person was almost as strong as Xiu Ying.

"How long are you planning to hide like a stalker?" Eren called out in a loud voice.

"I truly didn't expect you to be able to sense me. Not bad for a weak human."

A young man stepped out of the water as if he was walking on the stairs.

Even though he came from the water of blood, his clothes were not stained in blood. Instead, they were clean and dry, completely unaffected by blood.

Eren was also quite surprised when he saw the person, especially because that person had horns on his hair that looked like they were the purest form of diamond.

Eren had a lot of doubts, so he directly used the identification skill on the person.

'Youngest Prince of Sea Dragon Empire? What the heck.'

Eren was at a loss of words. If the young prince was here, did it mean somehow their plan had reached the Sea Dragons? If the Prince came with guards, was it still a one on one fight?

When it came to levels, the young dragon prince was only level ten, but his stats were much higher because of his species.

Still, even with his high stats, he was not comparable to Xiu Ying. The Sea Dragon was strong, but not strong enough because it was still a youngling who was attending his coming of age ceremony just now.

'With Xiu Ying's help, it should be easy to kill him. Then why...? Why did the option not restrict or signal that taking help was forbidden?'

At first, he thought it was because the person was strong, but that did not appear to be the case. He did not think that the system was being kind to him. That left only one possibility.

'He is not alone. And the ones with him are even stronger. If I'm not wrong, it must be his guards.'

It truly had become something he wanted to avoid. It was on the verge of becoming a group battle.

"To think that I would hear someone say that they want to kill us. You truly have a lot of courage for a mere human."

"I might have courage, but unfortunately you don't. With a guard as a babysitter, you seem to really love acting strong," Eren taunted the young prince.

"Guard? Heh, I don't need a guard!" The Young Prince truly appeared ignorant as if he did not know that he had a guard.

"In that case, let's test it." Eren folded his arms. He was certain that he was right. And there was only one way to draw the guard out who was still in hiding.

"Ying'er, would you please kill our dear guest?"

Xiu Ying didn't hesitate for even a second as she rushed forward. Before the Prince could react, Xiu Ying appeared in front of him.

The Prince was frozen in place, not expecting a human to be this strong.

Just as Xiu Ying was about to touch the Prince, a shadow appeared before the Prince.

Xiu Ying controlled her steps, immediately jumping back to avoid being hit.
