It seemed like he never saw Yonggeon, but Ruanel left the room.

There was something to be said about Kamiel’s words.

“Ah… Miss, I miss you.”

No matter how soft and good the bed is, it’s natural to feel achy if you just lie down on it.

Kamiel slowly wanted to get up, but… .

“You shouldn’t wake up yet.”

“… Yes.”

He must have installed some kind of device on his body or in this room, but every time he tried to get up, Ilho came in and stopped him.

In the end, Kamiel was able to leave the room only late in the evening.

“What are you doing? .”

Kamiel thought as he walked empty-handedly through the empty hallway.

When I think of the young lady, my heart warms, but at the same time, anxiety creeps up.

It must be because of what happened in the afternoon.

“Why did you leave with that expression on your face? ?”

And that too without saying anything.

No matter how hard Kamiel tried to understand, it was something he couldn’t understand.

It was the first time since what happened last time that I saw such a cold face.

‘Did I do something wrong this time too?’

Even after thinking about it, I couldn’t think of anything particularly wrong.

If there is a crime, it is only that he collapsed without warning and caused the young lady to suffer.

“I don’t know… .”

He shook his head and muttered.

It was accompanied by a sigh that became even more empty.

That day, Kamiel washed without any major problems, fell asleep, and waited for morning to come.

Until then, he probably had no idea.

Something I never imagined would happen.

A morning with a gentle dawn vibe.

At this time, Ilho, who had never visited before, knocked on his door.

“Deacon Ilho? what brings you here… … .”

“This is an order to send Kamiel back home.”

“Yes?”

Camiel looked lost in his sleep when he heard the sound of the drum being struck.

What is this sound?

“Wait a minute. Why suddenly… ”

“Sorry. I am also in a position where I only deliver orders and do not know the details.”

“… … .”

okay. This was not something to ask Deacon Ilho about.

Kamiel asks as if grasping at straws.

“The purpose of my coming here in the first place was to treat the young lady, but what would happen if I wasn’t there… ”

“That… Since there is no need to do this anymore, I am sending Kamiel back.”

“Yes?”

“The lady is not confined to her room like before and is moving around normally. Even though it is broad daylight.”

“… … .”

It was a good thing.

That’s really good.

But, why is my heart so empty?

He spoke a few times, but eventually looked down, unable to find anything to say.

“To the lady… Please say my sincere congratulations.”

It was a statement that clearly showed the tremor in his voice.

I don’t know what decision was made.

but… Whatever the lady’s wishes, it was best for Camiel to follow them.

The gently blowing wind was lukewarm.

Kamiel stared at the forest he had to walk through in the distance with somewhat blank eyes.

Kamiel suddenly remembered what he had said to Ilho.

“Then… Can I ask you one favor?”

“What are you asking for?”

“I don’t want to go back to the village. so… Can I go out into the outside world instead?”

“… … .”

Ilho was speechless.

What I say after a short pause is… I was worried.

“It will be dangerous. The outside world is a dangerous place where you never know what might happen.”

“Is it that much?”

Kamiel didn’t look surprised when he asked that question.

I just thought it was because it was a matter that had already been decided.

Ilho must have sensed his feelings as well, as he made direct eye contact and opened his mouth.

“No matter how much I try to stop you, it won’t help.”

“It’s been a long time since I decided.”

Even before I came to this mansion.

The place where Camiel would return was decided.

‘If I go back to the village now, it’s like being in a prison where I can’t escape until I die.’

There are people I miss.

There were also people I wanted to meet again.

That’s why I was afraid.

‘There’s no law preventing people who have already kicked me out once from doing so a second time.’

I don’t want to be abandoned again.

In that case, wouldn’t it be better to not meet so that it doesn’t happen in the first place?

“More than anything… It’s always been my dream. Looking around the world.”

“… I see.”

Ilho nodded.

As if he understood.

“Then can I tell you a place?”

“Are you recommending it to me?”

“Then that’s it.”

Is there any reason to refuse?

When Kamiel accepted, Ilho made him wait for a while.

Soon, Ilho returned with something and handed it to Camiel.

“This… … .”

What he was handed were two guns.

One was a very light bag containing something, and the other was a very small bead.

“First, open your pocket and you will find a small amount of money inside. Since it is the common currency of the continent, there will be no problem wherever you want to use it. Do you know the value of the currency?”

“Yes… . I saw it in a book.”

“Then it will be easy to talk about.”

Kamiel’s eyes trembled.

Even at a glance, the amount of gold coins inside was difficult to estimate.

When I looked at Ilho with that meaning in mind, he answered calmly.

“There is no need to feel too burdened. This is something that the master has also given permission to do.”

“… To me. Why are you giving me this help? There wouldn’t be any problem if I just kicked him out with harsh words.”

“This is compensation for treating the young lady. It’s worth it if you get this much.”

“… … Thank you.”

When I heard that it was compensation for treating the young lady, I didn’t want to receive it.

Everything he did to the lady. Because I didn’t want to be calculated in terms of money.

But Kamiel was not a child.

‘I need money to survive in the outside world right now.’

This money was enough to settle down somewhere, so it would be foolish to throw it away or spit it back out of pride.

“Thank you… I will accept it.”

“Yes. If you wouldn’t accept it anyway, I didn’t have any intention of sending it out to the outside world.”

A grin escaped.

I don’t know if he was trying to ease the tension, but it made Kamiel laugh.

“That orb will move Kamiel twice in total.”

“How to use it?”

“You can say 『Stigme Kinesis』. Oh, please say this while moving. If anything happens, you can move right away.”

Kamiel nodded and then blankly looked at the mansion spread out in front of him.

The eyes were filled with lingering emotions.

“Really… thanked. In many ways.”

I still felt sad, but… .

What’s so important when you’re leaving anyway?

I will never come back here again.

Just like a one night dream.

“As I said, you will be moved twice, the first time going to the place I recommended. The second is to go to a place where there are a lot of people. Please keep this in mind.”

“Yes… .”

That was the end of my farewell to Ilho.

Camiel woke up from his thoughts and walked aimlessly through the forest.

The reason I didn’t go to the place Ilho showed me right away was because I wanted to leave some more traces here.

The forest was full of the sounds of mountain birds passing by and the sounds of grass insects.

Is this also the silence of the forest?

Bussyuk.

Camiel’s head turned at the sound of the bushes moving.

Soon his eyes widen.

‘That… … A wolf?’

I had seen it in a book.

A predator with sharp fangs.

It was a dangerous beast to meet.

I never thought they would live in this forest… I never dreamed that I would face it again.

The wolf’s bright yellow eyes stared at him fiercely.

The way it lightly stepped on the ground felt as if its prey was approaching cautiously, lest it escape.

As for Camiel… I was so scared that I couldn’t even move.

‘Is there any way for me to move in the first place?’

He shook his head inwardly.

Since it is a wolf, it will be fast, which means that even if it runs away, it will be caught quickly.

‘The book only mentioned what wolves were like. ‘There was no instructions on what to do in a situation like this.’

Am I going to die without moving?

‘ah! that’s right. this.’

Kamiel had forgotten what he was holding in his hand.

The spell I was told to memorize… .

“『Stigma Kinesis』”

done. But at the same time, a problem arose.

It seemed like it wasn’t moving right away, so I could clearly see the wolf running towards me.

Since there was really nothing else to do, Kamiel closed his eyes tightly.

Kamiel blinked his eyes slowly.

The feeling of the air touching my skin was different.

Contrary to the clearness of the forest, an extremely fragrant scent filled my nose.

‘This place…’ Is this the place Deacon Ilho recommended?’

It was a spectacle that was mesmerizing to the eyes.

Purple, nameless flowers were decorating the field.

The purple color extending all the way to the horizon was enough to make you wonder where the end is… .

“Huh? This… !”

I couldn’t help but be surprised when something hit my feet and I looked down.

Cry.

A wolf with beautiful silver fur looked at him with bright yellow eyes.

It was the wolf I saw in the forest earlier.

‘if… ‘Did you come together?’

Despair spread.

All he could think about was that he was dead now.

however… … .

‘huh?’

The sensation in my legs was strange.

It looks like he’s licking… Are you savoring the taste of your food?

But the wolf’s eyes were too innocent for that to be the case.

Camiel reached out his hand and stroked the silver fur, just in case.

Purr.

The wolf made a sound as if it was pleased with his touch.

On the contrary, when he was surprised and tried to take his hand away, wouldn’t he have stuck his head in as if asking for more?

“Ahaha, it tickles.”

Kamiel was able to relax only after seeing the wolf licking his hand repeatedly.

I don’t know what the harmony was, but at least it didn’t look like this guy was going to eat him.

When the wolf jumped into his arms, he was lying down in a field filled with the scent of flowers.

“Ahahaha, it tickles?”

Camiel cackling and laughing and the wolf acting cutely, saying he likes him.

A field of flowers spread out as if to decorate the area.

Pictures like this were rare.

Kamiel also knew this.

because… So close.

Because the gap of one person who is not here is too big.

Even though I was smiling, my heart was still in turmoil.

‘Wouldn’t the lady like it when she sees this?’

They said there was no way we would meet again now, but my heart had not yet accepted that fact.

The sound of laughter in the field was somehow empty.

As if forcing a smile to forget the pain.
