I looked up at the bodyguard and blinked.

When our eyes met, he looked embarrassed for a moment, then shook his head slightly and began to stare straight ahead.

Feeling like she wasn’t going to talk to me, I quietly closed the door and returned to bed.

“What happened?”

Sitting on the bed, I stroked the white blanket and asked Shine.

She was sitting on a small chair in front of the bed, tilting her head at my question and asking back.

“How?”

My last memory was blurry.

I remember showing off some cool skills and making the bad guys fall from the sky, but I don’t remember what happened after that.

“I want to hear what happened after I lost consciousness.”

Shine got up from her chair at my words and sat down on the bed next to where I was sitting.

Shine’s scent wafted faintly.

“Amy said the helicopter wasn’t normal.”

“What were we riding on?”

“Yeah. When Jeff clapped his hands, a bunch of other bad guys fell down, right?”

“Yeah.”

“It seems like the helicopter we were riding on couldn’t avoid the impact.”

I touched my cheek at Shine’s answer.

Although he said he was controlling it, it seemed that the helicopter we were riding was also affected by the ability, as it was impossible to make delicate controls like Victor.

According to Shine, he had no choice but to come down here because the helicopter was staggering as if it was going to crash at any moment.

After a brief conversation, Shine and I slowly shook our legs and looked at the closed door.

“Oops… .”

At that moment, I looked around, remembering something I had forgotten.

But I couldn’t find what I wanted.

“What are you looking for?”

“Where’s my bag?”

Shine shook her head as if she didn’t know the answer to my question.

I made a sad face.

Inside the bag are the witch’s hat and wand that Amy gave her as a gift.

And dinosaur rocks and sketchbooks.

Lastly, there were a lot of souvenirs from the theme park.

Losing that bag would mean losing everything I have.

I let out a deep sigh, my body limp and weak, and Shine gently stroked my head.

“Where did you go?”

“Sorry Jeff. I didn’t see your bag when you got off the helicopter.”

I buried my face in the pillow and covered myself with the blanket.

My eyes felt so sore that I felt like tears were going to fall.

I didn’t raise my head because I didn’t want Shine to see my crying face.

“Jeff.”

Shine dug into my side, calling my name softly.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“Yeah… .”

I’m depressed.

Shine smiled faintly at my answer and hugged me gently.

Warmth fills the empty space.

The tears that were flowing out in trickles soon disappeared without a trace.

dripping-

As I was tangled up in the blanket with Shine, a faint knock was heard from beyond the door.

Shine and I looked at the door with our heads sticking out from under the blankets.

The door opens quietly with a clicking sound.

“Amy!”

I threw off the covers and ran towards the door.

Amy, who was standing there, put the pot she was holding down on the floor and opened her arms toward me.

Amy’s embrace, which received me as I jumped and flew naturally, was soft and warm.

“Jeff, does anything hurt?”

“Yes!”

My head was a little dizzy, but not enough to say it hurt, so I smiled faintly and got out of Amy’s arms.

“What is that?”

Shine, who arrived late, pointed to the pot that Amy had put down and asked.

I too became interested in the contents of the pot.

A strong, savory smell.

The delicious smell of food that stimulates my appetite stimulated my salivary glands.

What was in the pot was porridge.

A white, rich porridge filled with meat and vegetables.

Amy pulled over a small table and placed a pot on it.

“Jeff, are you sick or not?”

While Amy was preparing dinner, Lane came up to me and asked with a worried expression on her face.

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

Rain’s expression brightens at my answer.

“Jeff is really great.”

“Am I great?”

“Yeah. You have such great skills.”

“Jeff Spirise?”

“Yeah! That’s it!”

Amy said the name of the technique was strange, but Lane’s eyes sparkled as if she liked it.

I recalled the memories from back then and drew out my abilities with my fingertips.

The sight of a blue current surging with a crackling sound.

However, the bracelet on his wrist prevented him from developing any further abilities.

“Let’s eat!”

Amy shouted brightly as she finished preparing the meal.

We immediately ran to the chairs near the table and sat down.

Amy’s ladle scooped up the steaming porridge and placed it into a bowl.

Merge.

As I was moving the spoon and eating the porridge diligently, long, hanging hairs started to enter my mouth.

Even if I tried to push my hair back with my hands, if I lowered my head and tried to scoop up some porridge, it would come back down again.

Amy, who had been watching the scene, got up from her seat and came up behind me.

“Are you uncomfortable?”

With my mouth full of porridge, I nodded silently.

Amy’s gaze turns to me and Shine.

Shine was no different from me.

Porridge filled all around the mouth.

Her hair was also covered in porridge.

But she didn’t care and continued to eat the food.

Amy took a hair tie and a comb out of her pocket and gently stroked my hair.

Swish swish – With each stroke of the brush, the hair became soft and loose.

After wiping the hair that had the porridge on it with a wet tissue, I pulled it back and tied it up in one go.

Long hair, like a horse’s tail, falls on her back.

As I shook my head slightly, a white horse’s tail brushed past my cheek.

Amy, who had finished taking care of my hair, walked up behind Shine and started to straighten her hair.

Shine, who has her hair all pulled back like mine.

The only difference between her and me was the color of the hair tie that held my hair up.

After emptying the large pot, I yawned and slumped down on the chair.

I glanced at Amy right after that.

I was worried that I would get in trouble because I lost all the things she had given me as gifts.

But Amy didn’t mention what happened on the helicopter.

I was looking at her back and my mouth was watering.

After that, Amy started doing various tests on my body.

As if I was being examined at a hospital, a stethoscope and thermometer were pressed all over my body.

“Are you sure there’s no pain anywhere?”

“Yes.”

At my answer, Amy hugged my body with a relieved expression.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’ve been hugging Amy more and more often.

Feeling Shine’s gaze from the side, I smiled awkwardly and escaped Amy’s embrace.

As I sat down next to Shine, she hugged me tightly.

A subtle laughter escapes from her actions, almost as if she is imitating Amy.

“Then shall we go back?”

I didn’t ask where I was going back to.

As Amy said, the outside world was dangerous.

Even though it was a house that Amy had given me as a gift, it was also outside.

Shine nodded silently, as if she was thinking the same thing as me.

I took off the white gown I was wearing and changed into the clothes Amy had prepared for me.

These clothes have a completely different design than yesterday.

Still, the feeling of the fluttering hem of the skirt was very awkward.

The moment I stepped out into the hallway with Amy, more than five security guards followed me from behind in all directions.

When I looked at Amy with a puzzled expression, she smiled and answered.

“These are the people who will protect you.”

“You want us?”

“Yeah.”

I looked at the men in black suits, then at Rain, who was loitering nearby, and cautiously opened my mouth.

“Rain too?”

“Of course! I will protect you too!”

Lane answered with a confident expression.

Currently, she was wearing similar clothes to the bodyguards nearby.

He looks a bit cool in a black suit that seems tailored to his small stature, fitting perfectly into Lane’s height.

The sunglasses hanging over his head looked a bit too big, but I didn’t bother to point it out.

Rain’s bodyguards kept a close watch over the surroundings.

Even after leaving the mansion and reaching the large yard, the boundary was maintained.

Rain, who is watching his surroundings with fierce eyes.

At that moment, a small puppy approached from behind Rain.

The puppy, which had been moving its short legs diligently, looked at us once and tilted its head.

Kang Ji-ji, whose tongue was slightly protruding, looked stupid for some reason.

As Rain begins to move, the puppy’s tail begins to wag.

The puppy followed behind Lane with a slow gait, crawling with its body low, as if following Lane’s actions.

Lane still seemed unaware that the puppy was following him.

The number of bodyguards following us around increased.

Let’s start moving around in a circle.

The puppy ran away with a puzzled look on its face.

The puppy ran to the end of the yard and hid behind a large tree.

Is that puppy being raised separately in this mansion?

Since I didn’t have any good memories of dogs, I quickly erased the image of the little puppy from my mind.

As we headed towards the entrance of the mansion, there was an incredibly long car waiting there.

limousine?

“Are we going by car this time?”

“Yeah. I can’t take the helicopter today.”

Amy didn’t explain why she couldn’t get on the helicopter.

Shine and I got into the limo with Amy.

The inside of the limousine was comfortable.

A small fridge and fluffy sheets.

I gaped at the interior space, which seemed more than enough even for Shine and me to lie down in.

“Rain doesn’t hit?”

“I’ll be boarding soon. Rain is the team leader so he has to give orders.”

Rain has a slightly different feel than usual.

She hasn’t gotten into the car yet.

Outside the wide open door, Lane stood giving orders to men in black suits.

Although she couldn’t hear them because she was a little far away, she could tell that the men in front of her were following Lane wholeheartedly.

Sparkling eyes.

It felt similar to the way I looked at Amy.

It didn’t feel real that all those people were under the rain.

As I was blankly staring at Rain, she looked back as if she sensed my gaze.

Eyes meeting in the air.

Rain, who smiled brightly at my appearance, immediately ran towards me.

“Everyone, work hard!”

Just before the car door closed, Lane shouted to his team.

“Rain. Are those guys Raincoat’s team members?”

I asked, recalling the story Rain had told me last time.

But when I asked him this question, Lane shook his head and answered.

“No. Raincoats are a different team, they are Amy’s personal bodyguards.”

“… Then what about Rain?”

“I’m Amy’s bodyguard too.”

As I looked at her with a confused expression, Rain answered with a mischievous smile.

“That’s what happens when you’re working outside.”

I nodded, recalling Rain’s usual appearance.

To be honest, I couldn’t believe that Lane was a bodyguard, but since Amy didn’t really say anything, it seemed like Lane was right.

Is it really true that there are bodyguards this small?

I didn’t trust the fact that if a person on the street offered me ice cream, I would immediately follow them.

I patted Rain’s head silently.

The limousine we were in began to move slowly and left the mansion.

Immediately after that, numerous vehicles started to follow behind.

Cars painted black surrounded the limousine we were riding in on all sides as if they were escorting it.
