Chirp chirp chirp-

“… … It’s morning.”

Do Yu-jin muttered blankly as she watched the sun take its place in the center of the sky instead of the moon.

It was only a moment later that a hollow laugh burst out.

‘No, did I fall asleep? Are you relieved that Ellis didn’t catch you? Right after you emerged from the shadows?’

To be honest, I was at a loss, but on the other hand, it wasn’t incomprehensible.

I did a lot of work in one night, running around with this poor body.

In that state, the tension in his body suddenly went away, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that his mental strings also suddenly went away.

“But even so, I fainted, this is the first time in my life that the film has gone out like this… … ”

Hmm-

Do Yu-jin thought about it for a moment and then came to a conclusion.

“… … Well, I guess there’s no problem.”

Since I had already finished everything I had to do, it wouldn’t be a problem if I lost consciousness for a bit.

‘Hmm, I still feel uneasy, something is bothering me.’

It felt like I was forgetting something that wasn’t important but would be annoying if I forgot it, like going into a convenience store and not buying something I wanted to.

Do Yu-jin sat down and thought about it for a while, but perhaps because she was still a little sleepy, she couldn’t figure out what the uneasiness in her head was.

‘… … Well, I guess it’s okay. If it’s important, I’ll remember it.’

Do Yu-jin shook off her worries with a yawn and walked towards the direction of her lodgings.

I somehow managed to get my energy back by sleeping, but I was still very tired all over.

So, Do Yu-jin was thinking of taking a shower, lying down in bed comfortably, and eating a donut.

The moment I arrived at the accommodation.

Towering-

Do Yu-jin stopped walking without realizing it and stared at the door.

Where his gaze was directed, there was a lump of black cloth lying there like a rock.

Do Yu-jin thought for a moment that there was a pile of laundry outside, but when she rubbed her eyes and looked again, she could see that it wasn’t that.

“Haa… … ”

Do Yu-jin let out a faint sigh and scratched her head.

Because it naturally occurred to me what I had forgotten until now.

Swish-

Do Yu-jin took out the device and looked for the names one by one in it.

First of all, Han Si-yeon.

-If you see this, contact me right away. Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook the next time we meet!

Next is Rias.

-I’m sorry, I think I contacted you too much because I was excited. But I was desperate, so please forgive me. And if you see this, please contact me.

Finally, Erio.

-Contact me.

The texts sent by all three people had two things in common.

One is that he ended the text by asking for a reply.

And the other one.

‘Well, this is a little creepy.’

All three of them sent more than 999 text messages to Do Yu-jin while she was unconscious.

“And Erio, he didn’t just send me a text like this, he even came out to the front door and waited for me?”

Do Yu-jin looked at Erio, who was blocking the front door with his cloak wrapped around him like a blanket.

‘For now… … I think it would be right to take her inside so that there are no groundless rumors.’

Do Yu-jin carefully lifted Erio up in her arms so she wouldn’t wake up.

Sigh-

Do Yu-jin let out another sigh when he saw Erio, who looked shabby and covered in dust unlike usual.

“If you can’t even sleep well… …If you’re so tired that you’re going to fall asleep while waiting, just go to your room and rest. Don’t tell me to wait for you.”

Do Yu-jin grumbled like that and activated [The One Who Walks Through the Transparent World (5★)] more strongly.

Is it because of my mood?

Then, for some reason, Erio’s expression seemed to become much more relaxed.

Swish-

Doyujin entered Erio’s room and laid her down on the bed.

‘… … You look really tired, so you probably won’t be getting up for a while?’

Do Yu-jin watched Erio lying on the bed for a while before going into her room and packing her clothes.

I couldn’t just keep watching Erio sleep like this, so I decided to take a shower like I had originally planned.

◎ ◎ ◎

“Ugh… … ”

Erio, who was lying in bed sleeping, slowly came to his senses, groaning softly.

After rustling around for a while, she slowly woke up, sat up, and looked around.

‘This is… my room?’

Perhaps because the hangover had not yet completely subsided, my mind was hazy, as if covered in fog.

In that state, Erio tilted his head with an expression as if he didn’t know why he was there.

But the quiet reminiscing only lasts for a moment.

“Ah… … !”

Erio’s eyes, slightly realizing the current situation, gradually grew wider with exclamation.

Last night, even after the situation was resolved thanks to Ellis’ magic, Erio continued to wander around the circle in search of Doyujin.

However, that didn’t mean he could find Do Yu-jin, who was in the shadows, so Erio decided to wait in front of the house for Do Yu-jin to return.

‘But I fell asleep due to the recoil from using too much lightning.’

But, I can’t believe that I’m in this room like this…

Swaaaah-

As Erio was gathering his thoughts, he heard the sound of water flowing softly.

Phew-!

As soon as he heard that sound, Erio immediately jumped up and ran towards where the sound of water was coming from.

Boom-!

I opened the closed door without any hesitation and with all my might.

“Eww! Surprise!”

As the bathroom door opened with such force that it seemed like it was going to break, Do Yu-jin, who was lathering up her body inside, was startled by the sudden loud noise and screamed.

Shururuk-

Should I say that this is fortunate?

Do Yu-jin, who had grown up after her fierce battle with Monica, was using her shadow to wipe her back because she thought it would be easier than using her hands.

Thanks to this, I was able to quickly make a pair of shorts out of shadow and avoid the embarrassing situation of facing the intruder naked.

“What, what is it?”

When Do Yu-jin was so flustered.

Ta-da-dak-!

Erio, who had been standing blankly with tears in his eyes, ran towards Do Yu-jin.

“Eugene!!!”

A voice so loud that anyone who knew her would never be able to imagine it.

Kwak-

Erio, who rushed in like a squirrel, hugged Do Yu-jin tightly without paying attention to the pouring water or the foam on Do Yu-jin’s body.

“Mi, you crazy! No, I know what you’re thinking, but just let it go! I was just taking a shower!”

Because she had moved her shadow reflexively, all Do Yu-jin was wearing now was a pair of black shorts.

Even considering that it was made using shadows, Do Yu-jin was practically naked right now.

In that situation, when Erio clung to her with all his might, Do Yu-jin panicked and tried to use her shadow to push Erio away.

However, there was no way that Erio, who had made up his mind and determination, would fall for something as minor as that.

Phagecic-!

As if he would never fall again, Erio grabbed Doyujin with both arms and both legs, and at the same time fired lightning to block the shadow.

A brief clash.

In that fierce battle, it was Erio’s lightning that won, as it had the upper hand in terms of compatibility.

“Oh, really!”

Do Yu-jin, who saw her own shadow being torn apart, had no choice but to give up on dropping Erio and change her course to prioritize covering her body.

Phage crackle-!

But Erio shattered that shadow like a suspicious street cat.

“Hey! You can’t break this!”

Do Yu-jin, who was on the verge of returning to her original form, shouted urgently.

But Erio continued to breathe out lightning as if he didn’t want to hear it.

The precision with which he could precisely select and destroy shadows while the water poured down was a glimpse of Erio’s genius.

Swaaaah-

Even as the two played this foolish game of tug-of-war, time continued to pass and the water continued to pour.

Thanks to that, Erio now looks like a drowning rat, and the shirt he was wearing is stuck to his body.

Glance-

Do Yu-jin lowered her gaze without realizing it.

Her soft skin, reminiscent of pure white snow, was transparently visible behind her shirt.

This wasn’t the only information conveyed through the five senses.

Water stream of moderate temperature.

The body temperature of Erio, who was embracing her.

The slipperiness of the bubbles still lingering.

The feel of the damp cloth clinging to your body.

And the softness and elasticity beyond the shirt.

All of this was transmitted directly through the bare skin.

“Hey! I don’t know what it is, but calm down and let this go first!”

A cry that could be called a declaration of surrender.

However, Erio, a small beast who had already lost his mind, continued to hold on to Doyujin as if he didn’t hear such words.

With the ferocity of a carnivore tasting meat for the first time.

“Wait! Just a moment, please let me go!!!”

Wow, I’m pissed.

As he said that, Erio lightly bit the nape of Doyujin’s neck.

Of course, apart from the faint foamy taste, it had no taste at all.

However, Erio thought to himself that he wanted to continue biting Doyujin’s flesh like this.

Because the addictive taste lingered on the tip of my tongue to the point where it made me think that way for some reason.
