‘Hey, groin!?’

Clara looked back and forth between the water bottle in her hand and Rohan, who was sitting in the sun.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt so refreshed.

Even though I knew I had to move quickly, my steps creaked like a broken machine.

“Brother! Let’s, let’s go to the shade for now···.”

Clara put down her water bottle under the shadow and approached Rohan.

He quickly stood up, putting one arm around Rohan’s shoulder as he sat down, holding his forehead as if he had a headache.

It was a great strength that did not match her slender body, but isn’t it true that those with magical powers cannot judge physical abilities by appearance?

“Otsha···!”

Clara lowered Rohan to the floor with delicate hands and made him press his back against the wall.

If the shade were a little bigger, it would be easier to lie down, but that would probably require Zion to secure a place for it.

“Clara···?”

“Yeah! I’m here!”

Rohan opens his eyes slightly and calls out my name.

The girl was worried about Rohan because his condition seemed worse than before.

“How are you feeling? Would you like some water?”

Rohan shook his head, saying it was okay.

Clara pouted at Rohan’s attitude of always saying it wasn’t a big deal.

But this time is different.

Rohan is in a position where he cannot move due to dizziness that does not go away easily.

I have no choice but to ask for the group’s understanding.

“Sorry. Let’s take a break and move.”

“Brother··· There’s absolutely nothing to be sorry about··· It’s okay, just close your eyes and sleep.”

Rohan, who had been chewing his lips and pondering the growing advice, lowered his eyelids.

“Can you wake me up in 10 minutes?”

“That’s too short. Let’s get some sleep and wake up refreshed. Okay?”

There was no yes or no to Rohan. No answer came back, only the sound of raspy breathing.

He had already fallen asleep, leaving a message to wake him up in 10 minutes.

“···.”

Clara blankly stared at Rohan’s sleeping face and thought back to what Zion had said.

Deciding to follow the instructions to loosen up his clothes, he moves his hands to untie Rohan’s academy uniform.

‘This is an emergency measure…! It’s an emergency measure.’

This is a situation where Rohan’s clothes are taken off voluntarily.

Even as she chewed over the word action, the strange feeling in the girl’s head did not go away.

He takes off his academy jacket and unbuttons his sweaty shirt.

The climate of the dungeon is such that even girls who don’t suffer from heat have beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, and even Sion sweats profusely.

Rohan’s clothes were already soaked with sweat, so there seemed to be no need to wet them.

‘Oppa, your smell is stronger than usual… This is good…’

The smell of a person’s body and sweat varies greatly from person to person.

Clara didn’t even feel a hint of discomfort at Rohan’s scent. Instead, she suppressed the urge to poke her nose into it.

Before doing the next thing, even taking off your shoes, gulp.

Clara unbuckled his belt, careful not to touch it with her trembling hands. She unzipped it and loosened all of Rohan’s clothes.

‘Now fanning the flames!’

Clara, who had collected the monster vine leaves scattered on the floor, sent a gust of wind towards Rohan.

It was disappointing that I couldn’t smell the scent I had been smelling until just now, but I had no choice but to stop.

“Brother, are you sleeping···?”

I called just in case, but he fell asleep without a care in the world.

It’s the kind of thing where you wouldn’t even know you were carrying it.

Rohan’s first display of defenselessness. The girl’s eyes darted around curiously.

Such a time of emptiness.

As the girl’s gaze became busy, the fanning became more intense, and Rohan’s expression became a little more relaxed.

“Secured a seat.”

“───!!!”

A voice heard while concentrating.

If Clara hadn’t reflexively covered her mouth, she would have screamed.

He was so focused on something else that he didn’t notice Zion approaching.

“There was no problem inside. The temperature was definitely lower than outside. It would be a good place to rest.”

“, thank you for your hard work.”

“No problem. What’s Rohan’s condition?”

Zion folded the staff and put it in his bosom and asked.

Clara reported the information that came to her mind as she watched Rohan sleep while leaning against the wall.

“I fell asleep and asked to wake up in 10 minutes···.”

“Hmm, it seems like it’ll be too short to recover. I guess it’d be better to wait until he wakes up while taking action.”

Zion said that they should move inside and took Rohan with Clara.

We entered a dark room where the only light was the sunlight from outside.

“Ah···! It’s refreshing!”

The temperature inside was definitely cold.

To be honest, it reminded me of midsummer, but it was so hot outside that even the indoor temperature, which was easily over 30 degrees, felt cool.

“Let’s stop here.”

“Yes!”

He spreads a jacket on the floor and carefully lays Rohan down. He also takes the shoes he had taken off and places them next to him.

“Clara. We need to be more certain about heat-related illnesses.”

“···?”

Let’s give Clara a look that says she doesn’t understand.

Zion opened Rohan’s shirt, which the girl had timidly unbuttoned!

“Originally, it would be dangerous whether it be sunstroke or heatstroke, but since your body is trained with magic, you will recover quickly.”

After saying that, he also takes off Rohan’s pants.

“!?!?”

Clara’s eyes rolled around in confusion.

“I’ll do the fanning. Cool your body with the water bottle.”

After Zion finished speaking, he jumped up from his seat, went outside, and started picking up vine leaves.

“···.”

Clara did as she was told and placed the cold water bottle around Rohan’s neck.

Although Rohan’s condition was not an actual heatstroke, it is natural to feel better when you apply something cool to a hot situation.

The girl, seeing his expression relax, felt relieved and began to cool down other parts of Rohan.

I ended up stopping at the last location.

“Well, this much debt should be enough.”

Zion sat down next to Rohan and began to blow wind on his body.

Clara moved slowly while holding the water bottle and positioned herself at Rohan’s lower body.

‘Ahhh···.’

I saw black underwear. It was a tight-fitting, solid color.

It had a simple, unadorned look, but the color overlapped with Clara’s own underwear, making her feel ticklish.

Even though I knew I should look away from there, my gaze did not leave.

Maybe it was because of the sweat, but the light and shade of it was clearly visible above Rohan’s underwear.

It was so thick that I didn’t think I could hold it in one hand. Honestly, when I first saw it, I thought it was dynamite hidden inside.

‘Oh, oppa, you must be uncomfortable these days…’

If you have something like that, won’t it interfere with your daily life?

With such sentiments, Clara attached the water bottle to Rohan’s upper thigh.

The heat that was indirectly transmitted to my hands was different. The body odor that entered my nose was so strong that it could be called obscene.

How much effort must the two girls have put in in silence?

Rohan stirred and lifted his half-asleep eyelids.

“Umm··· What time is it?”

“Grow up. It hasn’t even been 10 minutes yet. Take a sip of water.”

The awakening of consciousness is a cause for celebration. However, Zion lied like a sword and made him drink water.

Rohan, who had been biting his lip, muttered, “Is that so?” and then closed his eyes again. Sion and Clara let out a deep breath of relief.

“I think it’s okay now, so I guess we can leave it as is.”

“I’ll keep fanning you···.”

“Take turns. If Rohan gets better, you can ask him to do it for you.”

Zion smiled faintly, softening the mood.

I got up from my seat as I watched Clara fanning herself.

“Can I take off my outerwear for a moment? It’s so hot.”

“Ah, yes···!”

Zion took off his thick outer garment containing various equipment, releasing the heat.

I felt like I could live a little since I was only wearing a sleeveless top. I twisted and squeezed the clothes, and sweat dripped onto the floor.

Clara, who had been fanning herself with one hand, checked Rohan’s sleeping figure and, with a red face, flapped her skirt slightly to relieve the heat.

“This heat and humidity, this place is really crazy. If it weren’t for Rohan, I might have collapsed.”

Zion drank the water from the canteen and handed it to Clara.

The girl also stopped fanning herself for a moment and moistened her mouth.

“Clara.”

“Yes?”

“Maybe Rohan’s condition is not a common heat illness.”

“Is there a disease that you can guess···?”

Zion touched his slender jawline with an extremely serious expression.

Then he glanced at the sleeping Rohan and lowered his voice to inform Clara.

“I had a feeling that it might be some kind of price to pay for using the skill.”

“Ah···.”

Clara nodded, seeming to agree with Zion’s guess.

Because Rohan clearly said that skills require a price.

*****

Orion Academy, 1st year, class 1.

Now that lunchtime was over, Gilbert eyed Rohan’s empty seat.

“This is strange! Something is strange!!!”

“There’s definitely something there.”

Dick, in the backseat, also rarely sympathized with Gilbert’s words.

Even though it was supposed to be the time for the practical training, Joo-yeon disappeared after telling him to wait. On top of that, Rohan didn’t answer the phone either.

“No-se. Don’t you know?”

“Well···.”

In response to Noah’s question, Ichinose took out her smartphone and sent a text message to Rohan, who was not in the classroom, asking where he was.

Of course, there was no reply.

At that moment, only speculations without any evidence were running wild.

The front door opened and a pair of long rabbit ears appeared, perking up.

“Our cuties from Class 1! Today, Instructor Jooyeon is suddenly busy with work, so we’re having a joint class with Instructor Carrot’s class!”
