On the way down the mountainside, my legs were shaking.

“Ugh…Should I tell Yeryeong that I can’t go today..”

It was definitely not because it was difficult.

It’s just that I’m so sensitive.

Since the second time the Master touched my head, my body has continued to be sensitive like this.

– They say that after a day or so, your head will feel clearer than before.

‘I hope that’s true, Master…’

I just hoped things would return to normal quickly, just like the teacher said.

If my body continues to be like this, I’m sure I’ll go crazy someday.

Coming down the mountain and crossing the valley, we climbed up the mountain again and came across a large main gate.

I covered my reddened face with my hat and cotton hat.

“Ah. You came, Sowol.”

Then a man greeted me with a friendly expression.

He was one of the Jangseong family’s unmanned personnel, and was quite old.

“Hello..Where is Yeryeong?”

“It’s on the mountain above.”

“Thank you.”

The moment I bowed my head to him and was about to go to Yeryeong.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

I turned around at the sound of his voice calling me.

“Huh?”

“Jang Moon-in said that if you come here, you should come see him first. I think I should go there first.”

“If it’s long….are you talking about the inspector?”

“Then who else could it be besides him? Hehe.”

I felt strange seeing him laughing in vain.

I’m sure that was the only time I saw you, sir. I couldn’t understand why you were looking for me.

But well, you’ll find out when you go there.

“Where is your majesty?”

“If you go up the mountain path on the right, there is a shrine called Sinmu Palace. You should make your home there.”

‘It’s near where Yeryeong lives.’

So I greeted the man from Jangseongga.

As he said, we followed the path to the right and came into view a small palace with an inexplicable sense of nobility.

As I entered the palace, a person greeted me.

“I sensed your presence and came out to meet you. It was nice to meet you.”

Unlike last time, Geomhu is wearing quite comfortable clothes.

It was a light garment, like something a fairy might wear, and it wouldn’t have been strange for her to ascend to heaven at any moment.

“Ah..hello, Mr. Geomhu.”

“What is the afterlife? Wasn’t it called Hwaryeon?”

“Uh…yes…Hwaryeon-nim..”

Geom-hu laughs at my words.

I felt it last time too, but it seemed like a really beautiful appearance.

“Come inside. Sowol has something to share with you.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“It’s something to do with Yeryeong. Let’s talk about the details inside.”

After saying those words, Geom-hu leisurely turns around.

I was puzzled, but I was curious because it was related to Yeryeong.

As we followed the searchlight and walked inside, steam was rising from two cars, as if they had been expecting us to come.

As Geom-hu sat down in front of the teacup, I naturally sat across from her.

I took a sip of the tea, following the instructions given by the sage. The hot and sweet tea whetted my appetite.

“Yeah. You said you lost your memory?”

“…Yes.”

I was taken aback by the sudden question, but I was somehow able to answer.

“You don’t remember anything at all?”

“Yes. I don’t remember anything.”

It’s not a lie.

At first, I forgot literally everything except how to speak.

That’s why I remember being very miserable at first.

No family, no goals, no dreams – nothing comes to mind.

How could it not be vain?

But thanks to my teacher’s constant care, I was able to somehow find the driving force in life again.

‘..I truly received a favor that I can never repay.’

But you got upset because I just poked at your head.

It was a moment of deep reflection.

“Hmm… Honestly, I’m a little suspicious.”

The swordsman who had clearly been drinking tea in front of me had suddenly come up behind me.

“Huh…? Yes..?”

When the inspector put his hand on my shoulder, my body began to tremble in response.

“Huh..?”

“I said this because I was worried that he might approach Yeryeong and try to take something from her.”

“Yes..?! What is that..!”

I tried to get up in a panic, but Geom-hu was holding my shoulder tightly, so I couldn’t move.

As soon as the doctor pulled my chair back and appeared in front of me, I was staring straight into her purple eyes.

“Be honest. Do you really not remember anything?”

“Why…why would I lie about something like that..?!”

“You may not know. For example.”

The swordsman looked at me with sharp eyes, then came closer to my ear and whispered softly.

“Are you trying to get something from me by bewitching Yeryeong?”

“Huh?!”

My ears have become extremely sensitive since the Master touched them.

My body reacted greatly to the voice that entered my ears.

Unable to support my trembling body, I fell to the floor.

“……Are you okay?”

Geom-hu frowned and looked at me as if he didn’t know I would fall.

“Ha…sigh….Your Majesty…”

An excited breath escaped my mouth.

My body was already sensitive because of the teacher, but because Geom-hu was whispering right in my ear, my head and body were tingling like crazy.

“What…what..”

Geom-hu flinched once.

He shook his head vigorously and maintained a blank expression again.

“It’s no use. My mind is trained to the limit. The charm system won’t work.”

The words of the sword did not enter my mind.

All that was bothering me was a crazy ticklish feeling in my lower abdomen and a hot feeling all over my body.

“Besides, you are the person my disciple likes. As a teacher, you absolutely-”

“Hwaryeonniim…”

” to make a disciple….”

The words of the swordsman were cut off abruptly.

I held onto the hem of her pants and looked up at her, enduring the feeling that was tormenting me like crazy.

“Ear…Please don’t talk too close to my ear…My body is too ticklish and hot…It’s hard..”

“…….”

After a while, Geom-hu looked at me with a blank expression.

Kkadak-

He bit his lip so hard that blood flowed from his mouth.

*

Athena’s Castle, located at the highest point of the Kingdom of Rachel.

There, a middle-aged man flew in as fast as the wind and came in through the window.

“Friend, I am here.”

Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and there were small scars visible on her face.

Black Saint Carlos looked at Athena, who was deeply contemplating something in her office.

“I told you not to come, right?”

Athena looked at him indifferently and then returned to focusing on her desk.

Geumseong had a big smile on his face at the sight of her.

“The last time I saw you, you were no different from a corpse. Now I can see it a little better, haha.”

This time there was no answer to Carlos’ words.

Carlos, curious about what on earth she was looking at, walked over to Athena and glanced at the desk.

“It’s a map.”

What catches your eye is a large map.

It was a map showing the gigantic continent of Pangea and the famous continents beyond the ocean.

There were many places on the map where red lines were drawn, and in particular, a large X was drawn on the Pangea continent.

“Is there a place you want to travel to?”

“Interesting Carlos.”

Carlos shrugged at Athena’s cynicism.

“That’s right. What’s the big deal? You came back here again.”

Carlos, who had been smiling for a moment, looked at Athena with a very serious expression.

“You really did well. It’s true that the survivors suffer more than the dead.”

“…….”

“She must be feeling relieved now, watching you from heaven. So now live diligently for her share as well.”

Athena wanted to scream at Carlos right then and there.

Who dares to tell someone they’re dead right now?

He said that he would never be able to live properly without her.

But the fact that Hera is alive is a secret that must be kept strictly confidential.

He couldn’t let his emotions get the better of him and do something so important.

“Stop talking nonsense and go back quickly.”

“Hehehe. Right. Now that I’ve confirmed that you’re okay, I can go back to my hometown with peace of mind.”

Carlos slowly approached Athena’s desk, patting her on the back.

“It’s been a while, I should say hello to my teacher.”

“Did you have a teacher?”

“Yes. Of all the people I’ve seen, he’s the one who’s reached the end of the sword the most. I think he’s probably on the same level as you.”

It would have been a story that would have interested her before she met Hera, but now, no other story entered Athena’s mind.

Carlos looked at the map carefully while Athena responded indifferently, then quickly tsk tsk in frustration.

“Oh. It’s not on the map. Even though it’s a hidden place, it has a deep culture.”

“……”

Athena, who was paying no attention to Carlos and was only looking at the map.

Despite the cold reception, Carlos turned around with a shallow smile.

“I guess I’ll be going now. I probably won’t be coming to this continent for a while.”

Still, all I get back is no response.

Just then, Carlos was about to turn around, letting out a sigh of relief.

Squeak-

A loud groan was heard from Athena’s side.

When Carlos turned around again, he was met with Athena looking at him with wide golden eyes.

“Why do you look so surprised?”

“I said it was a hidden place.”

“Huh? Are you talking about my hometown?”

Carlos answered with a faint smile, perhaps pleased that someone was interested in his hometown.

“That’s right. It’s a place located between very rough ocean currents, so if you don’t know the way, you won’t be able to find it.”

Athena’s face begins to shake violently.

Soon she looked at herself with eyes that were as fiery as her prime, if not even more so.

“Take me too.”

“Huh?”

Athena felt it.

A strong feeling that he might be able to get his desired female cat back.

‘…If you get caught, you really won’t be left alone.’

The price for rotting one’s insides.

I will make him pay dozens of times more.
