All the other kids gathered there. It was a place that had to be like that from the beginning.

    Anyway, they had made a promise. Now, it was actually two days since they had called. Not only had they not been told that they were a threat, but most of the families, except for Baekho, had a lot of work to do in their own families.

    When information spreads that liquid is beginning to seep into the land or sea, each god moves to purify those places.

    Not only that, the Black Tortoise creates weapons and armor, the Red Bird purifies the land, and the Blue Dragon fills the land with life again.

    When reports came in that each person was suffering from an illness, there was a lot to do, and even before that, Baekho was in charge of military affairs and security.

    The environment is the main thing,

    The Blue Dragon is in charge of medicine, agriculture,

    Hyunmu has been making everything from accessories to weapons.

    Originally, it was not something that should have happened that often for the heads of household to be absent.

    Because the head of each family was in charge of overall management of the site.

    Besides, unless there was something special going on, it was rare for the heads of household to gather at the palace for meetings. In that case, I thought it would be okay to have a trustworthy adult go with them, but it was customary everywhere to leave such matters to the “attendant”.

    The fact that high-ranking officials of the family continued to accompany each other or that the wife of the family moved around and did things because they were ‘unbelievable’ was likely to be seen as a mistake in this country where “power” must be kept separate and close to each other.

    So, there was a reason why each Shinigami family was not just colleagues who worked together, but more, nothing less.

    Because the power that each family holds means absolute power in that area.

    Rather, the fact that everyone gathered together and condemned the king, saying, “This is wrong.”, was an exceptional event.

    The children of each family were certainly aware of this situation.

    However, the one who appeared to break it was none other than Joo-jak, who was known to be obsessed with discipline.

    “Lee Han, Lee Yeon?”

    “Then why isn’t that gumball coming with you?”

    “That person went out to change clothes for a moment.”

    “Clothes?”

    All three people except Hyunmoo showed interest in those words. First of all, they were curious as to why that happened.

    “I was attacked several times on my way here.”

    “Raid? You. Are you okay?”

    As expected from a family in charge of medicine, Cheongryong wanted to check on his condition. Of course, he didn’t have any particular injuries.

    “Are you sure he just went to change his clothes?”

    He looked neat and unharmed. It seemed as if he had brought a knight with him… Is the child the only one who went to change clothes? Knowing full well that the Blue Dragon would be here with him?

    The knights were strong from the moment they stopped receiving treatment.

    “You, tell me the truth. You left her to fight alone-”

    The moment they pushed Lee Han back. That was the moment.

    “What’s going on?”

    The dry voice they always heard. That voice welcomed them. But. they were frozen.

    No, in fact, it would be more appropriate to say that she had no choice but to become stiff. Instead of her hair that was always long and disheveled, she had short hair, and on top of that, she was wearing pretty clothes that suited her appearance as a young child.

    The child was dressed in white clothes that suited her white hair.

    The clothes I wore when I first came out also had a bright feel to them and I felt like they suited me, but this was the first time I felt like I had made clothes just for children.

    The crown prince looked at the clothes and said with a childish smile.

    “That’s mine! It suits you well!”

    “… . Is that so?”

    The child approached them and thanked them. Then, he stood quietly next to the red bird and the blue dragon.

    “… ?”

    Seeing that, Lee Han felt a little strange. It was the first time he saw his brother standing behind other people and protecting them.

    “Just one day? You little brat, you haven’t eaten properly! Why do you still look so pale?”

    “Yeah, you didn’t sleep, right?”

    “No.”

    My brother, who had a strong image of being a noble tiger who never gave his side to anyone, was still getting along with people I didn’t even know.

    “Oh my god, I really can’t live like this.”

    The blue dragon created a drop of water in the air and said.

    “Open your mouth.”

    “Yes?”

    “Open your mouth and drink water.”

    “… Okay.”

    The child opened his mouth obediently. He looked just like a young bird listening to its parents.

    The sight of her quietly drinking water. Then, the crown prince opened his mouth excitedly.

    “When did you guys become so close? That’s amazing!”

    “What? What do you mean, become friends… .”

    Cheongryong blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head. He still seemed embarrassed. However, paying no attention to that, the crown prince approached Lee Yeon.

    “Let’s play together again like last time! I want to become close with you!”

    “… Yes.”

    Lee Yeon simply nodded. He was the type of person who listened to everything that a higher-up said. It felt good to be next to Jujak, but it seemed like he was upset because he was interrupted.

    “Hyunmu! You’re going to do it too?”

    When asked about Hyunmoo, who was silent, Hyunmoo nodded. If he was taciturn, he was a taciturn person, but he was extremely taciturn. Cheongryong said something to Hyunmoo, who was like that.

    “You didn’t react at all last time we played. Should I give you some potion? I can hear it a little in the psychic world.”

    “Not necessary.”

    “Oh, right.”

    It was a determined look. As if he was different from you all. Rather, it was a look that reminded me of Lee Yeon when we first met.

    ‘Well, that’s just the nature of the Hyunmu.’

    These authors were famous for creating weapons they liked and never opening their hearts to anyone who didn’t know them.

    Wasn’t this family originally known as the God of Craftsmen? Then their personality would be similar to that.

    While the blue dragon was trying to convince himself, the two white tigers were talking to each other.

    “Kyung, where are you hurt?”

    “None.”

    “Why didn’t you get on the middle of the carriage?”

    “I didn’t get blood on me.”

    “But Kyung is my escort. After finishing the work, you should have taken the carriage back with me.”

    A tone that seemed to be asking for advice. She could have said that she was worried from the time she didn’t get on the train, but Lee Yeon didn’t understand why she said something like that after wiping all the blood off.

    Of course, I didn’t tell him that Lee Han was scared by that kind of appearance. The surrounding gods heard them having this kind of pointless conversation. In the end, what Cheongryong had guessed was right.

    The divine being named Lee Yeon alone was fighting off the attackers.

    ‘No matter what, you’re still so calm.’

    I knew he wasn’t mentally well, but this was just too much.

    It must have been his first time killing a person, but it was absurd for him to be so calm.

    “Well, let’s go play for now. What are you going to do today? Mountain.”

    At the blue dragon’s question, the mountain seemed slightly troubled.

    “Um… …Like last time, we played tag together?”

    “Again? Well, it’s kind of weird to play hide-and-seek here.”

    Strictly speaking, it was a garden. Where is there a place to hide in a garden, and why are you playing hide-and-seek?

    There was no place to hide. Where would one hide in the grass in the first place?

    “Okay then, rock paper scissors!”

    While they were playing noisily and joking with each other.

    There were only two people standing far apart.

    “The kids are playing nicely, right?”

    “Yes.”

    While the crown prince ran after the Blue Dragon and Lee Han, Hyeonmu stayed quietly in his seat, and Jujak and Lee Yeon walked separately.

    The sight of the cat following him along obediently as he walked alone was like seeing a kitten following its mother. Just seeing that sight made Jujak feel good.

    It seems like that kid is finally doing what he wants.

    He stroked his head. In an instant, ears and a tail appeared to sprout from him.

    He seemed to be in a really good mood, as his tail seemed to be wagging leisurely.

    At that sight, Jujak smiled faintly and continued to stroke the child’s head.

    “Grrr… .”

    The sight of her letting her head rest on his hand while purring was so cute that it was beyond words.

    “Are you feeling that good?”

    The child looked up for a moment as if to ask what he meant, then shook his head as if he didn’t care. He looked like a cat that had already been tamed.

    That pleasant time didn’t last long.

    “Hey, Lee! Come here!”

    “Hahahahaha! San, you’re slow!”

    “… Ahem… .”

    Lee Han ran, looking back slightly, wondering if it was okay to do so. The good atmosphere began to crumble in an instant.

    and.

    -bang.

    “Ugh… .”

    The blue dragon and the red bird collided with each other and became entangled, causing the child to fall.

    “Ayaayaya… .”

    “… Are you okay?”

    And the child who was being stroked.

    “Krrrr… … .”

    He looked quite upset.
