Victor, who was placed on probation, was unable to supervise our training during that period.

The free time that came from it.

I took advantage of that time and ran to the PC room in the shelter.

“Jeff. I don’t find this funny.”

Shine kept whining as she followed me, but that didn’t matter to me right now.

I immediately opened an internet window and went to the homepage of the animation company that produced [The Little Witch’s Great Adventure].

I took my citizenship card out of my pocket and went to the event page.

With numerous events taking place, click on the banner located at the highest point.

Special effects that occur as the screen changes.

The blue background darkens in an instant, and bright stars appear around it.

I moved the mouse and clicked on the largest star.

Click – The majestic Lucy appears with a small noise.

She falls down wearing a large witch’s hat.

“Oh… .”

I opened my mouth in admiration.

It’s obvious that they’re putting a lot of effort into it because it’s the company’s signature work.

“Just wait a minute, it’ll be over soon.”

I spoke quietly to Shine, who was sitting next to me and pulling my arm.

After hearing what I said, she puffed out her cheeks and slumped down on the desk.

Shine’s face filled with sorrow.

I quickly tapped away at the keyboard.

After selecting your name, place of residence, and level of citizenship, enter the serial number written on the back of your citizenship.

Then a small message appears on the screen.

[Please insert your citizenship card into the scanner.]

I put the citizenship card I was holding in both hands into the small scanner installed next to the computer.

The higher the level of citizenship, the more benefits there are.

The same goes for the third-class citizenship I received this time.

Third-class citizenship had a higher chance of winning the event entry than general citizenship.

And special items that can usually be received from level 4 and above.

I held my pounding heart and waited for the citizenship scan to finish.

Tiring-!

Just then a cheerful sound came from the scanner.

With that pleasant sound, the citizenship came out through the scanner’s entrance.

“Are you done?”

“Yeah. I’m done.”

I scrolled all the way down the page and checked the product details written below.

First place, second place, and special prizes, I wasn’t interested in them.

What I wanted was a blanket that looked like Lucy’s cloak.

“Do you want to shine too?”

“Me too?”

“Yeah. They said that if you apply for this, you can get the product.”

I showed Shine the list of products.

But she just looked at me with uninterested eyes.

“What does Jeff want?”

“Yeah… . To be honest, that’s true.”

“Then let’s apply for mine too.”

Shine said that and handed over her citizenship card.

“Thank you!”

I hugged Shine’s body and immediately applied for the product contest again in Shine’s name.

It was clear that one of the two would win.

I’m a third-class citizen, so I guess I can get a blanket or something?

As I was thinking about citizenship, I began to question the home addresses written on my and Shine’s citizenship.

The address of an area I’ve never seen before.

Looking at the number 3 in front, it was clear that the area was in District 3.

If you have any questions, you should solve them.

I immediately opened another Internet window and entered the address listed on my citizenship application.

As I entered the address, a message appeared on the screen along with a large map.

[Access denied. Citizenship card appropriate to your level is required.]

Simply entering your address will ask for your citizenship card.

If so, this means that the address written on the card is inaccessible to ordinary people.

I scratched my cheek and inserted my citizenship card into the scanner.

Tiring-!

Immediately after scanning the citizenship card, a change occurred on the map.

The message disappears and the screen returns to the address I entered.

A large mansion appears on the screen.

A vast, endless garden.

The combined size of the house and garden was as large as an ordinary village.

I looked around the screen with a bewildered expression.

Although I couldn’t see inside the house, I was able to look around the area quite well.

The wall separating the house from the outside world rose high into the sky.

And what appears to be the main entrance to the house, a huge iron gate and a person standing in front of it as if guarding it.

The photo of a man in a black suit told me that this was no ordinary house.

“Where is this?”

At that moment, Shine, who was lying on the desk rubbing her cheek, seemed interested and came close to me and asked.

“Maybe it’s our house?”

I muttered, looking around the viewpoint.

The road that stretched out near the mansion seemed excessively wide.

A strange sense of alienation.

As I stared blankly at the road, I could see why.

There wasn’t a single car parked on the street.

That’s why the road looked wide.

After showing Shine the mansion, I pulled the card out of the scanner and left the PC room.

“Is that our house?”

“Let’s ask Amy.”

Shine and I ran straight to the room where Amy was resting.

She was busy at the end of the year, so she took a long vacation right after the event ended.

“Amy! Amy!”

Shine and I immediately opened the door and ran towards Amy.

She was sitting on the bed watching television, and she fell over onto the back of the bed, taking Shine and me with her.

“Did you have fun?”

“Yes!”

“Yeah!”

I rolled over on my soft bed and took my citizenship card out of my pocket.

“Amy. Is the address written here our home?”

“Oh? That?”

“Yes!”

“Yeah. It’s yours.”

“Wow!”

Shine jumped around with both arms raised in response to Amy’s answer.

He seemed quite happy to have a house.

“Really? It’s that big?”

“Big? That’s it?”

“Huh?”

I stared blankly at Amy’s face.

Does she really not think that mansion is big?

Blink, blink – As I was blinking my eyes, Amy smiled and patted my head.

“To be issued a 3rd class citizenship, you need to have a house that matches it. I registered it temporarily, but I’ll buy you a better one next time.”

I felt an inexplicable sense of awe at the way Amy talked about buying me a house so easily, as if she were buying me snacks at a convenience store.

I was so surprised that I opened my mouth wide.

“Amy! When can I go home?”

“Umm… .”

Shine clung to Amy’s arms, her eyes sparkling.

Now that he has a house, he seems to want to go there sometime.

“It’s hard right now. If I go outside, I’ll be in big trouble.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Yeah. There are still bad people out there looking for you.”

“That’s right. There are bad people.”

Shine nodded to Amy’s words.

I’ve always wanted to go there, but I didn’t feel like taking the risk.

More than anything, it would be more accurate to say that I didn’t have any particular thoughts about it because I didn’t really feel like the mansion was my home.

Knock knock knock!

Then suddenly a knock was heard from beyond the door.

[Amy! Shine! Jeff!]

A familiar voice. It was Rain.

I got out of bed and ran towards the door.

“Rain!”

“Ta-da!”

Rain, who had been standing beyond the door, entered the room as soon as I opened the door, spread his arms and started showing off his clothes.

Bright yellow chick pajamas.

The chick-faced hood on his head dangled, showing off his appearance.

“You finally bought it?”

“How is it? How is it?”

Amy smiled slightly as she looked at Lane.

The rain chick walked bouncing around the bed.

It fit well with Rain’s image.

I answered with an awkward smile.

“That’s cool.”

“That’s right!”

After showing off her baby girl pajamas, Lane went to sit on the chair next to the table.

Shine became interested in Rain’s appearance and broke away from Amy’s arms to approach Rain.

Round and round.

Shine, who was hovering around the chair where Rain was sitting, reached out and pointed to Rain’s butt and muttered.

“Rain has a short tail.”

“That’s why you’re cute.”

As Shine said, the tail on the chick’s pajamas was shorter than the dinosaur’s tail.

The bright yellow feathers that were slightly protruding fluttered along with Rain’s movements.

“Are you here to brag about that?”

“Oh! No. I brought what Jin told me to give you.”

Lane shook her head at Amy’s question and fumbled around in her arms.

The chick’s bright yellow arm reached into his pocket and took out a small letter and a square seal.

“A letter? And Jin?”

“Yeah. Jin told me.”

Lane stretched out his short arms and held out the letter and stamp to Amy on the bedside.

“Take it!”

Phalang Phalang- Rain waved his short hands wildly.

That didn’t mean I could reach Amy, but she didn’t seem to have any intention of getting up.

Amy laughed in disbelief at the sight, then got up from her seat and approached Lane.

Amy, who had received the letter, sat down on the chair next to Lane and tore open the envelope.

“This kid… .”

Amy’s expression crumpled as she read the contents of the letter.

Lane jumped down from her seat and headed to the fridge, seemingly familiar with Amy.

“Wait a minute… I’ll go out for a bit.”

Amy put the letter she was holding down on the table, picked up the square seal, and left the room.

It happened so quickly, and Amy was in a bad mood, so I couldn’t catch her.

Shine and I stared blankly at each other. I picked up the letter on the table.

The content of the letter was simple.

[Have a nice vacation. Take care, Amy.]

What does Jin ask Amy to do?

“Okay!”

At that moment, a bright yellow chick handed me an ice cream while I was holding a letter.

It looks like he went to the fridge earlier and got out some ice cream.

I was shivering from the cold air and muttered blankly.

“Ice cream?”

“Are you going to eat it too?”

“But Amy told me to only eat one a day.”

I’ve already eaten all of today’s ice cream.

But my fingers are twitching.

My mouth started to water, and my eyes were fixed on the ice cream, refusing to look away.

I shook my head with difficulty, recalling the taste of sweet and cold ice cream.

“Amy will be late.”

Lane put the ice cream in my hand as if he was familiar with this situation.

I couldn’t refuse and ended up grabbing the ice cream.

The cold air running through my fingertips makes my heart pound.

“If you eat it secretly, they won’t know.”

The little chick whispers.

With a very delicious temptation.

Slap slap-

At that moment, Shine, who was sitting next to me, put the ice cream in her mouth without a second thought.

A sparkling pink ice cream bar is sucked into Shine’s mouth.

“It’s delicious. Jeff eats it too.”

I wiggled my fingers, shook my head, and handed the ice cream to Lane.

“Aren’t you eating?”

“I… . With the taste of grapes… .”

I answered quietly with my head bowed.
