[Dragon Raja] Protection

*I've only read a few Dragon Raja books. The timeline and setting may be confused, and any discrepancies with the original should be treated as my own additions.

*There are canon-pairing breakups and moments where characters steal the spotlight. Everyone survives, and it's a sweet story featuring the whole cast.

*There's a golden finger: the cowlick on her head (?)

What's it like when everyone around you becomes super strong, while you're the only support character?

Nan Li chewed on a biscuit stick and gave up thinking.

"Nono is always protecting other people. I don't think that's right. Who's going to protect Nono?" Little Li, still in kindergarten, fell into deep thought, then suddenly understood. "Nono, I'll protect you!"

How strange. This was the first time anyone had said they wanted to protect her, and it was a girl younger than her. Yet she didn't dislike it... Little Nono, also still in kindergarten, thought it over and suddenly realized, "Wait, doesn't that make me your underling?"

"Even if I'm not your boss, I'll still protect you, Nono!" Nan Li clenched her fist. "Because, because I really like you, Nono!"

"Xiao Lu, let's skip class!"

"Huh? Why all of a sudden? You're a good student, you know!"

"Because I want to surprise you~"

"Happy birthday, Xiao Lu!"

At the internet cafe, Lu Mingfei looked at the cake and the smiling girl before him, and for a moment he was speechless.

"Who celebrates their birthday at an internet cafe...?" he muttered, thinking that this was the happiest birthday he'd ever had.

"I won't leave you behind, Senior Brother. I came here to help you."
