I blinked blankly for a moment. After coming to his senses, Ha-sol quickly followed the traces of the collapsing old wind.

The path was winding and scattered in all directions by the wind, but the general direction could be read.

‘what’s this?’

Ha Sol, who was quickening his pace, narrowed his eyebrows.

The uniqueness is hidden, and even that is difficult to find as it blends in with the ordinary atmosphere.

With normal detection capabilities, you won’t even be able to catch the tail.

If it weren’t for the same old wind, if the old wind wasn’t so good at sensing, I wouldn’t have recognized it either.

“Here?”

At some point, the traces suddenly disappeared. Now, the traces are so spread out and blurred that it is difficult to trace.

But I think I’ve found the approximate location.

A large building. One of the many research buildings of many professors, this is where Liana Bellus’s laboratory is located.

The place where the traces of the old wind were cut off. Nearby was the entrance to Riana’s laboratory.

‘Was the trace actually a windstorm?’

This is the building that Lee Ha-sol recently visited. If the traces have continued this far, it is possible that it is Lee Ha-sol’s old building…

‘no.’

I denied the thoughts that had been going on.

Even if it’s recent, it’s not just a few days. Since I didn’t leave any traces, there’s no way it would remain until now.

‘It was a good wind, but it wasn’t my wind…’

Other people’s bad habits.

‘Is that possible?’

Reason tilted its head at the sensual certainty. It is not unique for nothing. It is not rare for bloodline succession for nothing.

It wasn’t inherited from his ancestors. It was a unique trait that Lee Ha-sol developed by chance in a certain dungeon.

It may be similar, but it doesn’t feel as homogeneous as it does now…

I can’t be sure. First, I stepped inside the building.

-Whew!

I was about to take a step forward. The wind blew a few steps ahead of me, and Ihasol stopped walking.

-Hello, Lee Ha-sol!

The wind gathered into a human figure. With flowing hair and shining eyes. The smiling spirit waved its hand.

“Ah… Professor Riana’s spirit… Lord Euros?”

-Yes, that’s right! Nice to meet you!

“Yes, nice to meet you too, Euros.

It’s a sphere. When I was consulting with Riana, I guided her through Ihasol and had a brief conversation with Eurus.

Although it was a short time, we left a good impression on each other.

Due to his old age, Ha Sol possessed a deep and pure spirit and was even born with an affinity for spirits.

There was no reason for Eurus, the spirit of the wind, to be embarrassed.

-Isn’t Mr. Lee Ha-sol currently in the middle of an internship? I wonder why you came to see me…

“I was lucky enough to finish my internship early. But I had some business with Professor Riana at the building. I came to say hello. ”

-Ah, haha… I see…

But right now, I couldn’t welcome him comfortably. Eurus let out an awkward laugh and broke out in a cold sweat.

-Rihanna is currently… busy with important business. It’s difficult to receive guests.

I have important business to attend to. It wasn’t a lie. In reality, Rihanna is having a hard time receiving guests…

“Oh, really? The timing was bad.”

-That’s right…

Lee Ha-sol nodded as if she felt regret. Then, she glanced at the entrance with a strange gaze.

Clearly, the wind was blowing through that entrance. What on earth is the reason for that…

-Wow!

-Huh?!

At that moment, the door that Lee Ha-sol had been glancing at opened. Eurus turned his head in surprise, and Lee Ha-sol opened his eyes wide.

[Hello, Lee Ha-sol]

“Ha-yul?”

It was Lee Ha-yul who poked his head out of the door. Lee Ha-yul closed the door and quickly approached, tilting his head.

[It’s the second day of internship, but aren’t you still in the internship?]

“I’m curious about that too… Ah, Ha-yul’s skills will be fine in two days. I was similar. So you’re saying he’s the top student in the admissions process?”

[Aha… Certainly, there are cases where a level 4 dungeon can appear in just one day.]

“Yes, Jo Won-do was great, and luck was on our side so we were able to finish early. By the way, was Harul with Professor Riana just now?”

[Ah… yes… somehow… ]

Lee Ha-yool nodded and smiled. Her eyes were closed, but it felt like they were rolling inside her.

Lee Ha-sol stared at Lee Ha-yul intently.

-… That’s all for me…

Eurus, who had been rolling his eyes, disappeared.

“Ha-yul.”

[Yes, yes… why are you like that?]

After a brief pause, the roll call continued. When Lee Ha-yool tilted his head, a hand came over and caressed his cheek.

[huh?]

Kkuk… His fingers pressed hard on her cheek, then his hand wrapped around her cheek and gently squeezed it.

Although I questioned the sudden contact, I didn’t reject it. I didn’t feel the slightest bit of awkwardness at Ha-sol’s contact.

“… Is this magic? Like a clone? ”

[Huh?]

The question mark turned into an exclamation mark at Ha-sol Lee’s question, who tilted his head. Ha-yool Lee, who couldn’t hide his surprise… asked back.

[How did you know?]

Clone. A common magic and phenomenon. There are many magics that implement clones in particular.

Most of them are hallucinations or tricks. The kind that distort the senses or create imaginary scarecrows.

Now, this is similar to magic, but it is not done only through magic.

The art of incarnation.

More advanced technology.

At the Tower of Knowledge, I learned the theory from Ariel, and behind the scenes, I observed and imitated the Lord of Purgatory descending into Hong Yeonjun’s body.

I didn’t follow it completely.

Instead of an actual vessel, I made a clay-like mass of life and connected the consciousness. If I put the necklace of confession and the feathers of the sky on top, it would be almost finished.

Although its combat ability is extremely low, it is difficult to detect its true nature from the outside.

Ihasol saw through that. Was Gu-pung’s ability to sense something so outstanding that it could see through the incarnation technique?

“Hmm… I can feel it… very slightly, a strange feeling.”

Ha Sol-i narrowed her eyes and looked down at Ha Yul-i’s face. The wind wafted around her. The information she was receiving was quickly transmitted.

There is nothing strange about the information. Everything is normal.

But I felt a sense of incongruity on an intuitive level. The rate before my eyes was normal, but something was different…

[I see that Lee Ha-sol’s unique ability is to detect such detailed information…]

“Hmm… But strictly speaking, I don’t think it felt like a bad thing.”

[yes?]

Lee Ha-sol shrugged her shoulders, feeling the sticky sensation in her palm.

“How much have I been watching Harul? No matter how many things have changed, I can still feel that something is fundamentally strange.”

-Ugguggung…

Ha Sol, who was smiling, playfully pinched Ha Ryul’s cheek. Then, she glanced at the lab door behind her.

“Then the real rate is in the lab?”

[…yes]

“Huh… Professor, is this important business related to the interest rate?“

[yes…]

“Aha. Then I guess there’s nothing I can do.”

Lee Ha-sol gently stroked her cheek with the hand she had been pinching.

“I wanted to say hello while I was nearby, but I guess I’ll have to say hello later.”

[I’m sorry for causing confusion]

“What are you sorry about? I’m sorry for bothering you when I was busy with important business. Oh, right. Do you remember what I said last time? ”

Lee Ha-yul and Lee Ha-sol were constantly exchanging text messages.

Among them, there was only one thing that I particularly wanted to point out as ‘what I said last time’.

“Let’s go see the director later when we have time. Oh my, do you know how worried the director was? I was worried that the building with the magic equipment would burn down, that Ha-ryul would suddenly declare his departure and disappear… “

[Ahaha… Yes… I’ll definitely stop by when I have time]

“Tell me when you decide. You should go with me.”

[yes]

“Okay, I’ll go now. After I’m done with my business, tell Professor Riana that I’ll come see you next time.”

[Yes, please go in carefully]

Lee Ha-yool nodded quietly. Lee Ha-sol smiled softly, patted his cheek one last time, and left the building.

Lee Ha-sol, who was walking calmly, thought back to the conversation just now.

‘Is that Professor Riana and Hayul in the lab?’

Traces of a broken wind blowing near the entrance to the lab…

The space between Lee Ha-sol’s eyebrows narrowed.

***

The feeling of it being rubbed against my cheek is extremely soft.

It’s also warm and has a nice fragrant smell. It’s incredibly comfortable to lie down with that on my head.

-Thwack, thwack…

Add to that the hands stroking my head, face, and neck, and it was paradise.

“Ehehehe… “

[happiness…]

A faint smile appeared on my lips. My stomach is full, it’s warm, and there’s a nice smell, so I feel like I’m going to fall asleep right away…

“… It looks so comfortable.”

A hazy mind soaked in happiness and sleep. My body trembled at the voice that dug into it.

I carefully opened my eyes, which were tightly closed, and made eye contact with my teacher, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa across from me.

“Ah, why are you bothering the baby who is trying to sleep?”

“What am I harassing you for? I just said that you looked comfortable.”

“That’s just giving a hint.”

A sound heard right next to me, above.

I could see a soft thigh that was holding the head. When I looked up… I saw a huge lump of flesh instead of a face.

I couldn’t see her face, but I wasn’t confused. It was Professor Riana.

“Yeah, did you wake up? It’s okay. If you’re sleepy, you can snore.”

“Oh my… You’ve become a real mom. Did you even suckle my nipple?”

“Huh? You got bitten too, right?”

“… … .”

“Couldn’t you have given me a lot? Oh… definitely, it’s smaller than me.”

“What? What the… ”

Instead, his hand touched my head. My hair was gently stroked by his hand, and my hair was covered in goosebumps.

‘I’m sleepy… ‘

The living room of the mansion. After a hearty dinner, I was particularly sleepy.

‘Euuum… ‘

There weren’t many people in the mansion. That’s because no one had returned from their dungeon training.

It’s the second night now… I think I might come back as early as the third night.

“… I have some work to do, so I’ll sleep a little later… ”

As I resisted the temptation and raised my upper body, the hand that had been stroking me supported my head. With the help of that hand, I sat down on the sofa.

“Ugh… ”

[Yeah… Seo Yul is also sleepy…]

Seoyul, who had been in my arms, also sat down with me. Seoyul, who had her eyes closed and was breathing colorfully, rubbed her cheek against my face.

My fairly long, pure white hair tickled my face.

… Now it’s hard to say that I’m in your arms.

The dizzying sensation that made my spine tingle for a moment made me wake up from my drowsiness.

I patted Yul-yi on the back with a bashful face. Swoosh… The winged clothes that had been covering Yul-yi returned and spread out into wings.

“Has that spirit awakened?”

“Yeah.”

It was still dark brown, but a brighter color than before. It flapped its wings once, and a halo of light emerged.

-Are you awake?

I closed my eyes and sent my thoughts inside my wings. Perhaps it was because of the shape of the thoughts, but my tone seemed to have changed.

-…yes…

The answer came back quickly. A stiff expression filled with awkwardness. However, it did not reveal the venom like when he was caught.

-How is the condition? I put in as much horsepower as possible, but I was surprised when it reacted as if it was having a seizure.

-No, the condition is really, really fine… Thank you…

-Then, can you meet me for a moment? Let’s meet… Um, I have something I want to hear.

-Yes… Okay… Can I go out now?

-… ? Yeah, of course

Flutter! A halo of light poured down from the flapping of wings. Among them, a particularly large halo of light hovered around the area, then puffed out in convex shapes at a distance.

The halo of light soon transformed into a human figure with distinct curves, legs and arms.

“… Female body… ”

After the master’s muttering, the spirit opened its eyes.

Dark brown eyes. Eyes that conveyed a sense of rock-like solidity glanced around and then landed on me.

-ah…

The same thought was conveyed through the slightly opened mouth. Without even considering the thought, a complex emotion spread across his face. He nodded.

[hi?]

[Thank goodness you came to your senses]

-Ah, yes, yes…

The spirit that had been blankly staring at me trembled. Then, it suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed its head.

-Belonging to the Fairy Kingdom. The spirit of the upper land, Terramorga… Meet the King

[…I hate that I’ve become accustomed to this situation]

-yes?

[No, it’s nothing]

I shook my head with a trembling face.
