A huge basement in a small cabin.

The facility started producing electricity again when it detected the presence of humans.

Then, electricity was naturally supplied to the projector in the conference room, and the device that someone had planted also began its mission silently.

Quietly, without anyone knowing.

Time was moving in an irreversible direction, unable to reattach a cracked jewel.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Blanc looked surprised when he saw the room.

I can’t understand what you’re so surprised about.

“Come on in. There’s a lot to take care of.”

“No, your room…it’s so futuristic.”

Ah, the Eden headquarters that Blanc saw must have been very fragmentary.

If it’s just a plaza or a conference room, it’s true that it looks ordinary.

Well, if you dig deeper, there are a lot of different parts.

Didn’t you know that our technological prowess was at this level?

Well, my shoulders go up on their own.

The place I was in was so surprising to Blanc…

“What’s futuristic? Don’t you all have a room like this?”

“No, you know that too.”

“Well, it’s not uncomfortable, so it doesn’t matter. If you were going to complain about that kind of sleep, you’d be out of your mind in prison already.”

“Um… So, where is the closet?”

“Put your hand on the wall there.”

“Wow?!”

“What are you surprised about? It’s a dressing room.”

“No, there’s a dressing room…? In this room?”

“Well, maybe it’s the utilization of underground space or the technology.”

“Wow… To get all of this… ”

“It looks like there are a lot because they are hung, but in reality there are not many. And, to begin with, the dormitory isn’t that big.”

I sat on my bed and talked for the first time in a long time.

Even though it’s a small room, it’s packed with everything you need.

A simple kitchen with a refrigerator and cooking utensils.

…with a bathroom with a bathtub and a dressing room.

Based on the time I lived in Dal-dongne, I certainly lived a luxurious life.

Um, honestly, when I lived here, I used to complain a lot about how fucking cramped the room was.

The bed was small, and it was the kind of room where I almost fell out when I slept with Ellie…

“Ellie. Remember?”

“There’s no way it won’t fly.”

With those words, Ellie threw herself at me as I sat on the bed.

Literally, he jumped at me while I was sitting and threw me down.

The situation is strange.

This is something that wasn’t done in the past either.

“Ellie, it’s heavy… ”

“I’m heavy?”

“No, breath. Breathe!”

Only then did Ellie get down from above me, grab me, roll around on me, and then get into a hugging position so that I could look at her.

“Ellie, let go. Shouldn’t you go and help?”

“Hey, let’s reminisce a little. I’ll let that slide.”

“No. They don’t know what’s here.”

“Just a little bit, okay? Let’s just stay like this… ”

“Haa. Just a little bit.”

In the end, I lost to Ellie again.

Well, it’s ironic when you think about it this way.

Although she was like a child, Ellie took care of me like an older sister.

Right now, he’s just a kid.

But, if you listen to what Blanc says about Ellie at school, it’s different.

At school, the kids studied hard and were taught everything they asked.

Oh, wait a minute.

One more thing came to mind to pass on to Ellie.

Why didn’t I think of that before?

Oh, since exams are over. Neither Arin nor Redhead came to ask questions.

Besides, there was a big fuss about me fainting.

Hmm, I guess tutoring…

Wouldn’t it be better to ask Ellie, who was a test taker until just now, to do it, rather than me, who left the test board a long time ago?

Of course, if you leave it to Ellie without any compensation, Ellie will do it roughly.

Because if someone forces you to do something, you won’t see very good results.

Instead, I think it would be right for me to give some compensation.

Hmm, I’ll think about it little by little about what to give as compensation.

I hope that through these tutoring sessions, the relationship between Ellie and the magical girls will improve a little.

Still, since she’s a less bad kid than me, wouldn’t they accept her better?

First of all, let’s stop pointing weapons at each other and start talking. And let’s aim to get closer.

When I think about it like that, I think Ellie must have wondered what I was thinking.

“Bine, what are you thinking so deeply about?”

“Ah, um. So a lot happened here?”

“Lies.”

“Besides that… Well, you and I. I was thinking of something good for both of us.”

“Hmm, that’s suspicious. When you’re just recalling memories, don’t think about anything else. Can’t you just remember this?”

“Even if I want to, what can I do when I suddenly think of it?”

“I don’t know. The mood is ruined. You said you’d go and help me?”

“That’s right. You come too.”

“No, it’s not even my room.”

“Then I don’t do anything in your room?”

“Okay… ”

I slowly got out of bed and decided to stop slacking off.

I feel like my body has become lighter, as if the fatigue from moving has subsided.

Or maybe it’s because I’m happy to be back where I used to live after a long time.

I walk between the two magical girls who are lightheartedly organizing their clothes and gather all the clothes I will wear.

Well, besides that, I also took the repair kits that weren’t collected, and the weapons.

Of course, I asked Blanc if I could take it.

Then he said it was okay.

I had a ton of weapons stored in the cabinet under my bed, I need to get them all.

These weapons are too valuable to be left to rot here.

But why did the association leave this as is?

The conclusion is that they couldn’t investigate each residential area individually.

Well then, umm…

I had a slightly dangerous thought, but soon gave up.

The thought that it won’t get any better anyway, so why bother?

Rather, it only makes the situation worse.

Okay, let’s stop having such strange thoughts.

“Blanc, this over here. Can you move it?”

“Huh…? Is it a computer?”

“Yes, is that possible?”

“Well, it’s possible. It doesn’t matter. It’s not like there’s a lack of space. But more than that, are these clothes really enough?”

“Yes. Because if I take it away, there won’t be a place to put it.”

“Hey, you want me to take care of the dolls too?”

“Ah, ah… ”

Oh right. A doll.

Hmm, I guess you could call it an attachment doll.

It’s not like I can’t sleep without it, but I thought it would be better to keep it with me, so I put it in the box.

I got caught, it’s embarrassing…

“Ah, that. Ah… yes. Put it in, please… ”

“What are you embarrassed about? You know that Seohyun sleeps with that kind of stuff on too.”

“No, that… Ugh… ”

Does Blanc know that I am too embarrassed to raise my head?

Something inside me was screaming that I shouldn’t be caught.

Ugh… what is this?

There were a lot of incidents, but I took everything I could from my room.

Now, it’s my room I’ll never return to.

Never again… Yeah.

Let’s keep the memories as just memories.

Next, I went to Ellie’s room, which was right next door.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Ellie’s room.

Well, there were still traces of a hasty escape here.

Is this supposed to tell us something about the situation at the time of Ragnarok?

It felt like I was hit by a real bomb.

I just took what I could and left.

“Haa… It’s a mess.”

“Isn’t it because of you guys?”

“Not really.”

“Let’s get out of here. Let’s go in and clean up.”

“What are you evading? It was Eden’s fault, so we raided for the last operation.”

“I don’t know, please check quickly. Ellie. Do you need anything?”

“Yeah, I should bring my tablet and computer too.”

“And clothes?”

“Isn’t that something I should definitely bring? Oh, right. I have to bring it from my studio too. Boiler. Oh, I’m screwed.”

“Why?”

“Boiler, I think I couldn’t turn it off because I was dragged by Blanc… ?”

“Your house, is it an oil boiler?”

“Right…? It started to get a little chilly, so I started playing… ”

“If the oil runs out, won’t it stop by itself?”

“Ha, I don’t know. If there’s chaos, Blanc will take care of it.”

“Huh? You called?”

Blanc, who was searching through the closet diligently, looked this way and asked.

“No. Oh, please take the unopened uniforms over there. Ellie needs to wear the uniform when she trains. ”

“But didn’t Ellie come out wearing something like a different dress?”

“That’s the drawer on the other side. No, above it. Yes, it’s there. Please take care of that too.”

“How do you know so much? This is Ellie’s room.”

“I had no choice but to drag out a child who always said he didn’t want to go on a mission or attend a meeting.”

Ellie tried hard to deny it, as if she was upset by my remark.

“Vine, I took care of you more than you did?”

“That was before I regained my memories, right?”

“Still! How much have I taken care of for you!”

“Blanc, ah. Left. Give me everything in that drawer.”

“Huh… ?”

“No! Blanc! Give it to me!”

Ha, I was trying to use it as a means to blackmail Ellie.

Ellie ran to Blanc first and snatched the small box he was holding, making it impossible to threaten him.

“Huh…? What’s going on?”

“It’s probably something like a USB with my photos on it. I don’t know the exact contents though… ”

“Huh, you don’t have to know!”

Ellie shook the box, poking out her lips.

Well, I guess it’ll be like that anyway.

Okay, I’ve already packed up this room. What else is there to do?

I don’t think so.

Now, I guess there’s nothing left to do but look around a bit and collect my luggage that I left in the common area.

Oh, and don’t forget to stop by the doctor’s lab and grab some extra repair tools.

Besides that, you can also take a look around the square.

Shouldn’t I go to the conference room too?

Well, since we have plenty of time, we can just go wherever Blanc wants to go.

If security is assured, there is no place I cannot go.

Well then, shall we go?
