Lee Ha-yool’s blatant jealousy disappeared in one day.

Now, even if you teach Atraga Daera with care, she doesn’t puff out her cheeks, and she doesn’t cling to Atra and throw a tantrum.

“Master, wasn’t the technique just now okay?”

“That magic has a really weird process of manifestation. It’s hard to tell the signs because it’s mixed with the movements. It’s a good technique.”

“Hehe.”

Yesterday’s jealousy was all let out during the night.

There is a faint smile on Lee Ha-yool’s lips.

The corners of her mouth are more obviously raised than usual. She is oozing with positive emotions that make everyone around her sparkle.

“… But isn’t that magic the same technique that was used to blow away arms in the past?”

“Oh my gosh… That’s… I fixed it now. It’s real. It’s safe now… ”

[truth]

[No lies]

“Hmm… ”

It was the same with Artrado, who had a smile on her face.

Skin that is so shiny and smooth that it stands in stark contrast to yesterday.

In the golden eyes looking down at Lee Ha-yul, a gun is shining, and affection seems to be overflowing in a tangible form.

“… I guess you’re not lying. But you were practicing the gear cog technique behind the scenes, right? Huh? ”

“Baehee… ”

Atra, who pretends to have a stern face and pinches Lee Ha-yool’s cheek, and Lee Ha-yool, who smiles bashfully even as his cheek is grabbed.

The relationship between the priests and priestesses appears to be very close.

Although not even a day has passed, I can feel that we have become noticeably closer and the atmosphere has become brighter than yesterday.

Those who encountered Atra on business would kiss and ask if there was anything special about her.

“… … ”

Era, who was finishing her share of sparring, made a trembling expression as she watched the scene.

It’s not like I’m seething with jealousy like that.

Atra and Ha-ryul. They are both precious people to Da-era.

Artra is the guardian and teacher who taught Daera, and Lee Ha-yul is the benefactor and cute priest who saved Daera from hell.

How could two people like that complain when they are so close?

‘Ah! Isn’t there some kind of magic that can erase memories?’

The problem is that I know why their mood changed.

Daera frowned and rubbed her eyes. The suddenly divided vision made her see things she had not been able to see before.

The splitting of the field of vision and the sight that appeared before my eyes were so shocking that it was too late to cut it off.

I should not have looked at it. When I recalled that provocative memory, a red heat rose up the back of my neck.

-Daera, you look a bit odd today. Is there something wrong?

-Oh, it’s nothing…

I must have received a worried look from Atra.

It’s not a valid reason, but it’s true that the condition is strange and the training intensity has been lowered.

[Daerasajeo]

“Ugh!”

[?]

Suddenly, I jumped at the sound coming from behind me. I tilted my head as Lee Ha-yool approached me and spoke to me.

[Private? Why are you like that?]

“Ah, haha… That, just. I was suddenly called out while I was thinking about something else, so I was surprised. ”

[Oh, I’m sorry for calling while you’re concentrating]

“Hey, hey! Why are you apologizing for something like that? I’m joking. So, what’s going on, priest? “

Era answers while hiding her embarrassment as much as possible.

Feeling the awkwardness, Lee Ha-yool tilted his head the other way, but he didn’t dig into the trivial details.

[I told you I would give you a gift last time. I think I will need some of your blood to make it. Can I take just a little bit?]

“Make?Blood?”

Daeraga blinked while smiling awkwardly. I thought it was because she said she would give me a gift, but I just found out that she made it herself.

And what’s more, your own blood is put into that gift?

‘I think it was like that with magic…’

Comfortable and sturdy clothes and useful tools that were passed on from behind.

They all say that Lee Ha-yool made them herself. Her priests were skilled in both dexterity and craftsmanship.

Since you’re good at magic, you might need blood for the gift you’re making.

“Now?”

[yes]

“Okay, okay.“

Daera held out her arm nonchalantly. She didn’t feel any sense of caution.

Blood should not be given away easily. This is even more true in modern times when human abilities are highly developed. There is a possibility that blood that is carelessly spilled can be misused.

However, the person who asked for blood was Lee Ha-yul. Since I trusted that he would not misuse my blood, I held out my arm without hesitation.

[Hehehe, please look forward to it! I’ll make it something that will really surprise you.]

Feeling that trust, Lee Ha-yool’s smile brightened. Da-era averted her gaze at her beautiful smile, which was like a blooming sunflower.

-Sseuuk…

The wings of the sky gently wrapped around Era’s arm.

Immediately afterwards, a slight tingling sensation appeared on my wrist, and a bright red dot appeared on the winged robe covering it.

“Huh?”

Daera opened her eyes wide. When she examined her freed arm, there was not a single scratch on her wrist.

On the other hand, the winged clothes were still stained bright red.

“What’s that? Did you just bleed it?”

[Yes, you can use this to pull it out like a syringe]

“Does hygiene and such not matter? Shouldn’t it be stored properly?”

[It’s okay because the artifact itself has a cleansing function. I also keep casting a cleansing spell separately.]

“Wow, that’s really useful?”

The more I looked at those winged clothes, the more I realized that they had so many uses.

It can be used for both offense and defense, as a blanket, or spread out to be used as a tent. Now, it is said that it has a cleaning function in addition to its syringe function.

[Hehehe, it might take some time, so please wait]

As I recalled the drawing I was editing in my head, I suddenly imagined Era’s reaction when she received the gift.

Lee Ha-yool smiled faintly, covering her lips with her wings. Her eyes, as delicate as a fox’s, were clearly visible.

Era, who was witnessing the scene from the front, opened her mouth cautiously.

“… Priest, are you doing that on purpose?”

[?]

After collecting Daerasajeo’s blood.

I asked the teacher to let me finish my afternoon training early.

It’s because I had an appointment scheduled a few days ago.

After washing my body properly, I walked to the meeting place.

The destination was a cafe of moderate size with a private room where no one would look at you.

“Ha-yul, are you here?”

There were passengers in the private room we arrived in.

Ha Sol, who had light green hair and eyes, greeted me with a smile as she was caressing a glass of water.

[… Hello, Lee Ha-sol]

I decided to make an appointment with Lee Ha-sol because I had something to talk about for a while.

We often talk through text, but it’s better to meet in person and talk.

After observing the surroundings, I sat down opposite Hasol.

“Yes, this is the first time we’ve met since that day. How have you been?”

[Yes, yes… I’ve been doing well]

“Here it is. It’s a cool spring day, but I’m still thirsty because I’m walking around outside.”

[Thank you. I will enjoy it.]

Ha Sol Lee, who kept smiling despite my awkward greeting, handed me the water.

A calm gaze that observes the day when you gulp down water.

‘It’s awkward…’

I could sense the complexity and familiarity in the gaze.

I rolled my head and brought up a topic that just happened to come to mind.

[It’s the height of the free semester, aren’t you very busy?]

Now that the first semester has just started, it is the free semester.

It’s time to try out various lectures regardless of grade.

That’s why there are many students wandering around the school busily in the afternoon.

This was not applicable to me, who had been trained by a teacher during my major.

‘You said that the schedule is tight during the free semester. It’s especially so for freshmen who just entered school.’

Ha-sol Lee, sitting across from me, is a freshman who just entered college. She is very busy during the free semester.

“That’s right. I’ve been moving around here and there since lunch, so I’ve been out of my mind.”

[Even though they are all densely packed in a learning area, it would be a hassle to go to each one. It must have been hard.]

“But it’s not that difficult because it’s shown precisely on the map.”

Fortunately, the topic was appropriate and Lee Ha-sol actively accepted the conversation.

Rather than saying he accepted, it would be more appropriate to say he led.

To begin with, he had almost no social skills and was very awkward, so he actively approached me while I was watching his every move.

“… … ”

[… … ]

But the conversation can’t continue forever.

Eventually, the conversation stopped for a moment and an awkward silence fell again.

“By any chance… ”

In the midst of such awkwardness, Ha Sol-i carefully asked, placing both hands neatly on her knees.

“Are there any memories that came to mind during that time?”

The complex emotions contained in the lime green eyes. While anticipating the answer, he wiggled his hands in the eyes that seemed to contain a slight hope.

[… Yes, as of now… ]

“I see… ”

A glimmer of hope was dashed. My shoulders also slumped.

How to retrieve memories. It might be possible, but it’s not certain that it will happen right away, and the situation is a bit complicated.

“… Phew! That’s right. Lost memories don’t come back easily. ”

Ha Sol, who had been feeling depressed for a moment, took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders. Soon, she tapped her smartwatch and a hologram appeared.

[…This is?]

What appeared as a hologram was a photograph.

“This is a picture from when I was young. At that time, it was a budget smartphone, not a smartwatch, but the picture still exists.”

In the photo, there was a young Ha Sol. Naturally, she was much smaller than she is now, and had black hair and eyes.

“The color hasn’t changed that long. It’s because I awakened my attribute ability and changed… At most, maybe a year or two? ”

Even though I hadn’t even opened my eyes, Ha-sol saw through the question I had raised and answered.

[… I have it too]

“So this is the picture I found.”

I was in the photo too.

Black hair and eyes. A face as stiff as a machine. Unfocused eyes turned towards the camera, held in the arms of Lee Ha-sol who carried her from the back.

A face that is different now, but similar. If we look at the impression, it feels like a different person.

‘…Is this how you want to bring back memories of the past?’

Ihasol’s intentions have been identified.

This is a way to stimulate past memories and bring them back to mind. It is a common way to bring them back to mind, and it is also an effective way.

“Then you forgot what I said back then… ”

While looking at the photo calmly, Ha-sol Lee, who was also looking at the photo with a hazy look in her eyes, said.

A soliloquy filled with melancholy. I bit my lips at the dull emotion, but then, feeling it was too much to ignore, I gulped down some water and asked.

[Um… what did I say at that time?]

Lee Ha-sol shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing.

“You said you would marry me.”

-Bam

[Gek]

The water in my mouth leaked out.

“… I’m just kidding.”

Lee Ha-sol, who was observing my reaction, chuckled and pulled out a tissue and handed it to me.
