A long and tedious night of losing and regaining consciousness continued. Elsie moved Thrud, who had not only dozed off but had completely fallen asleep, to the bed. Then, leaning against the headboard of the bed, she had light conversations with Doyun, who was by her side every time she regained consciousness. Each time she opened her eyes, she was convinced that Doyun, with…
The drug-induced sensitivity made Elsie go crazy even with the slightest stimulation. Even the simple act of being held, the mere shock of kicking off the ground to run, made her head spin. Amidst the confusion, Elsie complained inwardly. ‘What the hell kind of poison is this…’ But the complaint didn’t last long. It was because Doyun leaped forward, strongly planting his feet. Thump!…
The drug was clouding her mind, and her body was burning up, making her miserable. Even amidst all that, Doyun’s booming shout hammered into Elsie’s ears. Elsie flinched and opened her eyes wide. Her mind was so hazy that she couldn’t think straight enough to answer. In that moment of hesitation, Rigar’s enraged scream rang out. “What, what are you?!” He was now emitting…
Elsie, bewildered, moved her head from side to side, trying to grasp the situation she was in. Even after escaping from the mental world, her consciousness was still hazy, and her body was dizzyingly hot. So it took Elsie some time to recognize the situation. “Ugh…!!!” She was in a place like an old warehouse. She was sitting on a chair, her whole body…
Elsie blinked. Her blue eyes stared into the dark, empty space. “Thrud? Han Doyun?” Elsie looked around, realizing she was alone in this pitch-black darkness. “What happened all of a sudden?” Elsie was bewildered by the sudden situation and could only freeze. Darkness had come the moment she left the observatory building. At the same time, a black figure emitting an eerie jade glow.…
The three walked down the street. “Elsie! Let’s go over there too!” “Where?” “There!” “So, where is ‘there’?” Thrud smiled brightly and grabbed Elsie’s hand, pulling her along. “Just follow me! It says there are lots of sweet things!” Had she spotted a street vendor or something? Even though it was morning, the street was so crowded that Elsie couldn’t see what Thrud had…
A cloud of dust swirled in the dark, damp space. The man, who had been peering at the light seeping in through the bars, spat out a curse. “Damn it! Damn it!” Rigar, the supervisor of the Eastern Gate, was imprisoned. This temporary detention might not last long, but it was clear as day that he would be standing trial if any more of…
Thump! Njǫrðr, who had been staring blankly out the office window, opened his mouth without even turning around at the explosive sound of the door. There was only one person who would open his office door so boisterously. “Hymir, what kind of trouble are you here to cause this time?” “Hey, old man! Don’t talk about me like I’m always causing trouble.” “But you…
Hymir carefully set Elsie down and patted her head. His movements were so cautious, as if he feared she might break with the slightest touch. Anyone in Nóatún who knew him would think the sun had risen in the west. “Elsie… when you were little, you were so tiny… and you’re still so tiny now!” “Ha, haha…” Elsie gave an awkward laugh at his…
The eccentric old man with short silver hair and a thick beard was very impressive, his blue eyes darting around as if trying to grasp the situation. No one at the gate had noticed the old man’s appearance. Not the academy students, nor Reginleif, Thrud, Elsie, or even Doyun could catch the old man’s movements. ‘This old man is dangerous!’ Feeling immense pressure, Doyun…
