episode_0006

Dana shed tears for the first time in front of her younger brother, Fred.

Dana always acted strong and brave so that her younger sister wouldn’t feel anxious, but she was also a delicate girl like most other children her age, and the touch of a man’s hand gently stroking her hair caused all the emotions she had been holding back to explode.

She poured out all the anxiety, depression and sadness she had felt all this time.

In that way, Dana was able to feel the warmth of the man and let go of the negative emotions she had been feeling.

Danawa and Fre, who had put down the heavy burden that had remained in their hearts, walked with the man towards his house.

It was quite a distance to the man’s house, but they could walk there.

‘You won’t hug me again, right..?’

Dana held the man’s hand as she walked, recalling the time she had just been held in his arms and feeling regretful.

She wanted to feel the warmth she felt in his arms once more as she left the market in his arms.

She was unable to convey her feelings to the man, and they arrived at his house after a while.

Dana was nervous about the fact that she and the men were the only ones left in the house, so she took her younger brother, Fred, behind her.

He looked at the clothes we were wearing, went into his room, and after a while came out with clothes I had never seen before.

“First, wear this. I don’t know if it’ll fit, but it won’t be uncomfortable to wear.”

The man handed us clothes with a detailed look on his face.

At the man’s actions, Dana looked back and forth between the man and the clothes for a moment, then accepted the clothes he handed her.

The clothes the man handed me were very soft to the touch and also very light.

Dana let her younger brother, Fred, enter the room first while she watched the man.

Just in case the man let his guard down and tried to harm us, Dana sent her younger brother into the room first.

Dana stared at the man without letting her guard down until the very end.

Perhaps noticing Dana’s gaze, the man intentionally turned his gaze in a different direction.

Dana finally let out a sigh of relief after closing the door like that.

As the man had not yet behaved strangely, Dana was relieved, but at the same time, she was deeply distressed at the thought of what might happen in the future.

“Look at this, Unnie! These clothes are so comfortable and warm!”

His younger brother, Fred, had already changed into the clothes the man had given him.

She showed her sister Dana the clothes she was wearing with an angelic smile.

Fred, dressed in clean clothes, looked at her older sister Dana with a bright smile.

“Sister, try it on too! It’s so comfortable!”

After hearing these words from her younger brother, Dana finally put aside her uneasy feelings and started wearing the clothes the man had given her.

Dana was secretly anxious, thinking that there might be some hidden agenda, but since her younger sister, Frey, was watching, she ended up wearing the clothes the man had given her.

‘It’s comfortable..’

Dana was surprised by the comfortable clothes that seemed like she was not wearing anything, and touched various parts of the clothes she was wearing.

The clothes she was wearing were very thin, like the fur of a soft young animal.

As his older sister Dana changed her clothes, Fre jumped into her arms and said:

“Sister, your clothes suit you so well!”

Fred jumped into Dana’s arms in joy.

Dana looked at her with a smile at her younger sister’s actions.

“……..”

After changing their clothes, I carefully opened the door and came out.

The man who had been waiting for them seemed lost in thought for a moment as he watched them come out after changing their clothes. Then he looked at the clothes they were wearing and spoke softly.

“There are more clothes left than I thought? Hmm…I guess I’ll have to buy new ones.”

The man spoke as if he didn’t like something about the clothes they were wearing.

At those words from the man, Danawa and Fre instinctively grabbed the lapels of the clothes they were wearing.

They looked at the man to avoid having their clothes taken away, thinking that he might take their clothes away.

The man looked at them and said,

“I won’t take it away. Don’t worry, I will never take it away.”

The man looked at them and said as if making a promise.

At that time, there was a strange silence in the house.

“Gurrr….”

A noise suddenly came from Freya’s stomach.

Maybe it was because he hadn’t eaten, but Frey was so hungry that he started making noises.

The man smiled at the sound coming from the ship.

‘How dare you… my little brother!’

Dana was so angry that her brother had become a laughing stock that she threw the man and Fred away.

She looked at the man warily, as if he was about to rush at her at any moment.

“I’m really hungry. Wait a minute. I’ll make some food right away.”

The man asked them in an affectionate tone if there was anything they would like to eat.

They froze for a moment at the first words they heard from him, as empathy rather than ridicule or condemnation came out of his mouth.

The man, who had been watching them silently for a while, got up from his seat, headed to the kitchen, and started cooking with the ingredients.

He took out ingredients he had never seen before and began to cook food using magic.

Danawa and Fre looked at the man, their gazes wide open at the dazzling magic he used.

The man cooked so skillfully.

Before long, he was serving them steaming hot dishes.

The food he handed me was white in color overall, but warm steam was rising from it.

When her younger brother, Fred, tried to eat the food without any suspicion, Dana, who had been blankly staring at the food, quickly stopped Fred’s hand.

Fred looked at Dana with a sad expression when her sister stopped eating.

Dana couldn’t easily touch the food because she thought about what the man might have done to it.

Because she had already been betrayed by countless people in a short period of time, she couldn’t easily trust people.

While the food was in front of him and he couldn’t eat, the man scooped up some food with a spoon and placed it in front of Fre’s mouth.

“Try it once.”

The man spoke while handing something white and liquid-like right in front of Fre’s mouth, and due to the man’s actions, Fre ended up eating the unknown food that the man had handed him.

‘no…!’

Dana was surprised to see her younger brother, Frega, eating the food, and soon after, when her younger brother began to cry, Dana became extremely wary of men.

Dana was certain that the man had fed Freya some strange food.

Fre shook his head, grabbing Dana’s shoulder.

Dana was overcome with confusion upon seeing such a sight of Freya.

In the end, she also ended up eating the food the man gave her.

And then I could see why Frega was crying.

The food the man made wasn’t particularly delicious or meat-based, but for some reason, just eating it made my heart feel warm.

In the end, she too ended up shedding tears.

It was a taste that I had never tasted before, but for some reason I missed it. The taste brought tears to their eyes, and the man took turns putting food in our mouths.

So they finished their meal, eating the food the man gave them.

Dana collapsed in her seat as she became overcome with drowsiness.

Perhaps because they had been through so many things at once, Danawa and Fre collapsed from the exhaustion that was setting in.

Dana had been trying not to fall asleep until that moment. Worried that the man might tease her, Dana used her mental power to force herself to stay awake.

The man began to slowly approach the sleeping women.

‘Uh…what should I do…!’

Dana’s heart started pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to burst as the man approached her.

While I was worrying whether I should pretend not to be asleep, the man carried us who had fallen and headed to a room somewhere.

The room the man took us to was filled with furniture and objects we had never seen before.

He said this while placing it very carefully on a soft piece of furniture so that we wouldn’t wake up.

“Good night.”

Contrary to Dana’s concerns, the man did not touch her sister or her body, but rather placed her down very carefully as if he were handling a precious jewel.

“……..”

Dana was speechless as she recalled the image of that man.

That was understandable, because for Dana, someone like Aion was a type of person she had never seen before.

She couldn’t understand why he was so kind to her for no reason. He gave us clothes without asking for anything in return and cooked food for us when we were hungry.

Dana, who couldn’t understand him at all, spent a long time wondering why he acted like that, but she never found an answer.

While thinking about the man like that, she finally closed her eyes as sleep came over her.
