I have been contacted by the editorial department.

The number of subscribers is dropping and there is no improvement, so they told me to stop publishing the series.

I was going to say that I would improve and work hard, but…

I think I’ve already made that request more than five times, so I answered that I understood.

Thankfully, the editorial department lent us some space so that we could say our final greetings to our readers.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the editorial department once again.

Where should I start?

I guess I should talk about the recent series.

Suddenly, it became difficult to meet the serial publication date.

As readers felt, the quality of the serial was not very good.

[It seems like someone else is writing it.]

[It falls far short of the previous work.]

You sent us a letter expressing your many thoughts.

Some say I’m old, some say I’m obsolete.

After reading your thoughtful comments, I thought it was time to be honest with you.

Actually, I don’t remember much these days.

I don’t remember what I ate for breakfast at lunch, and when I look at what I wrote the day before, it feels new.

I think I definitely slept for a bit, but there were times when three days had passed before I knew it.

As I get older, I wonder if this is what it ended up being.

Fortunately, my mind is still intact today, so I can say my final greetings to you all.

Dear readers.

Now I think I have to step down.

Although I am not stepping down from the top position where I receive applause, I think it is a blessing to step down while there are still people who like and care for me.

Oh my, the older I get, the more useless things I say.

Then I will just leave.

A new author will be publishing the series starting next week, so we would appreciate your interest.

I am truly sorry that the serial ‘El Muse’ has been withdrawn as an unfinished work.

I sincerely hope that you will always be happy and full of joy.

“Master, can I send it to you like this?”

A maid with shoulder-length short hair said as she looked at her aging owner.

“Okay. Please.”

An old man with deep wrinkles around his mouth stood up from his desk.

Even though it was a short distance from the desk to the bed, it took the old man quite a while to walk.

The old man barely got to the bed and got under the blanket, and the maid came over and lifted the blanket up to his chin.

“Nap… Would you like to sleep?”

“You seem sleepy a lot these days. I need to get some sleep. Please send the manuscript right away.”

“Don’t worry.”

The maid smiled kindly and kissed both his cheeks.

In that short time, her owner must have fallen asleep, closing his eyes and breathing evenly.

“Sleep comfortably. My lovely master.”

With a face that was half sad and half happy, the maid looked at her master and muttered.

The maid finished getting ready to go out and left the mansion.

The mansion, which was as old as its owner, looked a little old on the outside, but its nobility was still the same.

The maid walked down the street with an undisturbed demeanor and stopped by the post office located in the middle of the city.

“Oh, Miss Emma. Is this a manuscript today too?”

A receptionist with a stylish mustache welcomed her.

“Yes. Please send it to ‘Loheed Visen Weekly’. The recipient is….”

The woman called Emma said, holding out the manuscript the owner had given her.

“This is Ricardo from the editorial department, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I think Evan’s writing is still interesting. I’m always waiting for the weekly magazine to come out.”

Hehe, the employee smiled and stroked his mustache, and Emma smiled and said hello.

“Oh, by the way, how is Teacher Inho’s health these days?”

“It seems like Master Inho has been sleeping a lot lately. Other than that, there is no problem.”

The faithful maid did not mention her master’s dementia.

“Hmm… You’re definitely quite old… In fact, when you’re around Teacher Inho’s age…”

The employee, who was trying to talk about old age as naturally as talking about the weather, fell silent when he saw the face of the maid standing in front of him.

“Now what?”

Light blue eyes were staring straight at me.

“Oh, no. Anyway, I’ll take care of this quickly.”

The employee cleared his throat and left the room, and the maid who had been staring behind him turned around.

Although her steps were still steady, Emma walked faster than when she came out.

‘It’s already been 30 minutes since I left my master. 30 minutes. ‘I’ve been away too long.’

‘Ah… I miss you. i miss you. master. The sound of the master’s breathing, the master’s voice, the master’s body… It has already become distant. I’ll go back quickly. Emma goes, my lord.’
