”Sigh… ”

Elia, who was washing her hands in cold water, let out a sigh at the frustration rising inside her.

When I slightly raised my head, the face reflected in the mirror was covered in a complex cloud like a dark cloud. It was a completely different atmosphere from the face that always went around with a bright smile.

“Eeeeum… ”

I stared at the complexity reflected on his face and sighed.

As I pouted my lips at the sudden thought, my face reflected in the mirror changed. The flush that spread across my face was unfamiliar yet familiar.

Because I was used to this expression when I was young. It was a face I saw often when I was young.

Elia’s hometown was what is commonly called a peaceful countryside.

Although we see scenes of workhorses replacing machines doing farm work, this is ultimately the lifestyle of those engaged in primary industry.

Additionally, Elia’s hometown was in the countryside, but not too far from a big city, so there was little threat from dungeons or monsters.

Thanks to this, Elia was able to fully display her youthful energy and treat the entire countryside as her playground.

There were several minor accidents along the way.

– Aaah! Ow, the fence…! Ah! You guys can’t go out!

For example, by destroying the fence of a dairy farm, a large number of dairy cows escaped.

– How did you break this lump of iron… No, you broke the spell itself?

Sometimes, you awaken and use your magical powers to break agricultural machinery.

– oh my god…

By chance, I ended up cutting down a thousand-year-old tree standing tall in the center of the village…

Although he earned the dishonorable title of a troublemaker from his hometown people, it is still a good memory for Elia.

But those times were short-lived.

As Elia grew older, she matured physically and mentally, and as she attended the academy, she came to know the wider world.

My parents had many difficulties in giving birth to their younger siblings.

Later, she successfully fulfilled her role as the eldest sister and settled into her current form.

But now, my childhood self has appeared again.

The reason is, of course, the rate below that.

‘Tch… I asked first…’

It’s not that Elia was not in a good mood right now.

On the morning of the first day of the birth ceremony, didn’t you clearly ask while smelling Lee Ha-yool’s hair? That you would look forward to it?

Lee Ha-yool also nodded, clearly embarrassed.

“Profit… ”

But, less than a day later, I was robbed right in front of my eyes.

A very romantic atmosphere under the fireworks!

On top of that, he drinks all night and doesn’t even come out of his room, as if he’s feeding him milk for breakfast and lunch.

Elia, who was shaking, wiped the moisture off her hands.

“Sigh.”

But soon he sighed and relaxed his grip.

In fact, Elia was upset, but she wasn’t that angry.

Lee Ha-yul… A little boy who I was strangely drawn to from the moment I first met him, and who I offered him a little help.

After living together, he only sees the things he likes in her, and later, he is a benefactor who eventually saves his precious younger sibling from disaster.

How could I be angry at such a grateful and loving child? This was nothing more than a tantrum.

Even that small complaint was almost completely melted away as he couldn’t control it due to the aegyo of Lee Ha-yool who was fidgeting next to him.

It’s becoming difficult to enjoy Lee Ha-yool’s cute appearance by pretending to be upset.

‘hmm…’

There was a little anxiety behind that behavior.

Elia has a deep affection for Iha Yul.

Lee Ha-yool is so cute and lovable both on the outside and inside, I want to stay by her side forever.

I want to spend time with you and share love, and although it is a wet desire, I want to later suckle that cute mouth.

Although she was attracted to him from the first time they met, Elia is now certain.

To Elia, there is only one person like Lee Ha-yul.

In the future, we will never find someone like Lee Ha-yul.

but.

Is Elia the only one for Lee Ha-yul?

Elia herself wasn’t sure about that. Besides, she didn’t think it was the only one.

It’s not simply a matter of having too many wives. Polygamy among superhumans is not a big deal in this post-catastrophe world.

A more fundamental reason than that.

There is no one like Lee Ha-yul in this world, but there are quite a few people similar to Elia.

She has yellow hair and eyes, is kind and gentle to others, and has a plump body…

The world is wide, and it’s not hard to find someone like that. Lee Ha-yul has ample ability to find someone. That’s why Elia was just a little anxious.

‘… Actually, this isn’t a problem either… ‘

But Elia eventually realizes that even these worries are useless.

Although Lee Ha-yul hides a lot of things, he is the type whose other tastes and tendencies are quite transparent.

Especially after we started living together, I was able to learn more about the person named Lee Ha-yool.

Lee Ha-yul can never push away someone who crosses the line he has drawn in his heart or the fence he has set.

Once you get in, it’s over. Even if you lie down like a full stomach, you can’t do anything.

Elia has already taken her place in the center of the fence.

Even if, which will never happen… Elia betrays Ihayul and stabs him in the back, Ihayul might not be able to hate Elia.

So, this anxiety of Elia’s is a needless worry.

Now that she has entered Iha Yul’s heart, Elia cannot escape even if she wants to.

Wasn’t the possessiveness that Lee Ha-yool showed earlier evidence of that?

“Ahem.”

Thinking back to that memory, I felt excited again. The sticky affection and possessiveness that came out of the cloth that wrapped my body tightly was so sweet…

Elia suddenly caressed the pendant around her neck.

A beautiful pendant that Lee Ha-yool personally made and gave as a gift. It wasn’t just a decorative accessory, but an incredible magical tool filled with all sorts of complex magic.

It was full of magic that was difficult for Elia to interpret, but the moment her magic was injected, the security was released and it was easy to understand the magic.

And how deeply I felt the urge to feel the protective magic filled beyond my limits on the pendant, as if it would never let me get hurt…

‘ah.’

Elia suddenly let out a sigh. As she recalled that happy memory, even the remaining tension melted away.

I can’t even act anymore. Elia went out with a little regret.

‘Well, I was just about to quit.’

I also thoroughly enjoyed the cute sight of Lee Ha-yool watching her closely and desperately acting cute towards her.

I’m satisfied because I’ve already enjoyed more than I paid for.

‘Should I buy some more snacks? It’s almost dinner time…’

Lee Ha-yul will be waiting at the park with Adela.

Elia packed a snack from a nearby stall to satisfy her hunger.

I thought about it for a moment, but aren’t children supposed to eat their fill? They can lose weight later when they grow up…

I head to the park, humming a tune, carrying a packed snack in one hand.

‘What should I say?’

Actually, I wasn’t that angry. I was just throwing a tantrum. It’s okay now. But I still have a promise, so I’ll look forward to it. I brought you some snacks, so let’s share them. Hey, dinner can be a little late… .

If you say it roughly like that, Lee Ha-yul, who was nervous, will smile brightly and hug Elia tightly. She will hold him affectionately and put a snack in his mouth.

Elia, who is proud to have completed her master’s degree, expected that.

“?”

But when Elia arrived at the park, she turned as hard as a stone, contrary to her plan.

[Ah, ugh… T, this doesn’t seem right…]

Lee Ha-yool, who was feeling uneasy at the sight, turned his head slightly to the back. Adela was sitting on the bench behind him.

At Lee Ha-yool’s expression that seemed to ask if this was true, Adela nodded solemnly and pointed to Elia’s blank expression.

Elia’s two eyes fluttered. For a moment, the background became whitish, and her field of vision narrowed, leaving only Lee Ha-yul visible.

I’m nervous. Up until that point, it was as expected.

But on top of that, she blushes and squirms in embarrassment.

– Thump thump

In the shaking vision, two ears are seen twitching and unable to stay still.

Fluffy, pure white fur that really catches the eye… ears that are often like those of a puppy.

The ear that received Elia’s gaze twitched and then lay down gently as if checking the situation. It was like the reaction of a truly living creature.

[Ugh…]

Lee Ha-yul covered his ears with his hands, then slowly lowered his hands under Elia’s stare.

And then, with great care, he knocked on the necklace of confession.

[What, woof woof…?]

The necklace clicks, imitating the sound of a dog.

The necklace of confession, which showed some change, conveyed both the intention to be cute and the emotions of being uselessly sidelined.

‘Oh, shit… ‘

I don’t think this is it.

Immediately after, Lee Ha-yul regretted it.

No matter how much I think about it, this doesn’t seem real…

“… … ”

Elia’s silence doubled the regret. I made the wrong choice. I shouldn’t have listened to Adela…

[Sister, did I do well?]

Meanwhile, Adela jumped down from the bench and tapped the snack bag Elia was holding as she asked.

Elia, who had been staring blankly at Lee Ha-yul, nodded her head with difficulty and gently stroked Adela’s head.

“… Yeah, you did really well. Should we go back now?”

[huh]

A conversation that started suddenly. Elia handed Adela a package of snacks.

[Ah, me… Ugh… I’ll take it…]

Lee Ha-yool, who was writhing in shame, reflexively reached out for the snack package Adellah was holding.

I felt uncomfortable passing the burden on to my child, so I thought about holding on to it or putting it away in a subspace.

-Kuk…

[Huh?]

But before that, Elia’s outstretched hand grabbed Iha Yul’s nape.

For a moment, I felt a tingling sensation of electricity pass through my body, and then my body went limp.

Elia gently picks up Lee Ha-yul, who is about to fall to the floor with exhaustion, and holds him tightly in her arms.

The pure white ears perked up in front of her nose. The sound from before lingered in her eardrums. Elia swallowed hard.

“Go back quickly.”

[huh]

At Elia’s urging, Adela took a candy out of her snack bag and put it in her mouth, nodding.

Elia walked quickly.
