It would be more accurate to say that several days, or rather several weeks, had passed.

​

I left the house, passed through the forest, and passed through the village.

​

I received a lot of supplies from the many villages I stopped by along the way. Before I knew it, a village appeared in front of me, where I could feel the strong sunlight and its power.

​

“Here is… .”

​

“Yeah, this is the village of the fake.”

​

I had been here once before, but my impressions were completely different then and now. That was understandable, because back then I could only tour their mansion by carriage, but not now.

What could be here? Could there be something similar to her? All these emotions were swirling inside me. I even thought that I would do anything if I could just see her, but I was on a mission right now. I couldn’t go see her, and I didn’t know what would happen to her if I did.

​

She gave me a clumsy smile.

​

It seemed like you had a lot to feel while watching me. Now that it was summer, we had to buy new clothes, but we didn’t have much time to buy supplies. After all, it was a mission.

​

“Baby.”

​

“Yes.”

​

“You can look around a lot, so come and have fun.”

​

It was something she said every time. It was something she would say out of courtesy whenever we arrived at a village. She would say it to me every time we passed through the two villages in between.

Perhaps, it seemed true that I had hoped to grow up like the master I had thought of last time. It was something I neither wished nor wanted, but she seemed to be trying to make it happen for me. Even though I had done nothing wrong.

​

“… .”

​

I don’t know what to expect from her, what to say to her, or what to do. She’s my boss. I just, for now… .

If possible, I just wanted to see the original work.

​

​

​

​

​

I felt a familiar force.

​

Whenever I went to that child’s house, I felt that same feeling coming at me. No one could know how happy I was.

​

I had to check right away. Was he really here?

​

“Mom!”

​

“Yeah, I just got a call.”

​

“Hey, do you like it that much?”

“Yeah!”

​

“Ha…! At this rate, I might end up marrying into the Baekho family.”

​

“결- You’re not going to do it?!”

​

“Oh~ Is that so? The girl who is getting married is talking a lot. The engagement ceremony is coming up soon. Do you have a partner?”

​

“You did well, oppa!”

​

I shouted and headed towards the direction where I felt strength. Since then, when you came back without any contact, I missed you so much.

There was no need to say more about how cute the sight of the child being held by me like a little kitten was.

​

“Going now?! Hey! What about your class!?”

​

It was true that I had classes, but they were all history and stuff. I already knew everything about the law, and I had learned everything about counseling law, so why should I stay and study?

Ability, I have already created a unique method to create weapons out of fire.

​

“I’ll go and come back!”

​

“… Who does he really resemble to act like that?”

​

The conversations I heard behind me were nonsense.

​

It was good that he left the house so boldly… . But there was one problem. It was because of his great strength. Also, I wondered if the water from the “Blue Dragon” I wrote about before was still there… . I couldn’t really tell where the strength was concentrated.

​

At least I know that we are all gathered here… .

​

“Where the hell are you?”

The biggest problem was that I couldn’t gather enough strength to pinpoint the exact location. My mother told me that this wasn’t the place I was supposed to go, but a village further inside, so I guess I’ll just sleep at the inn today…

​

Let’s say we’ve roughly found a room, then where are some good places to go?

​

“Foodstuff!”

​

From here to that village, it was a distance that would take one to two days. Even if you went as fast as you could, it would take a day, so there was no way you wouldn’t buy groceries and such.

Okay, so that kid’s place has been decided.

​

The market. That’s where the kid was. My heart was pounding. Even if I didn’t know where the kid was, I knew it was the market for now. Somewhere.

The places that sell food like vegetables are all gathered not far from here anyway. If I just ask the coachman to take me there, no. If I just fly, it will be quick.

​

-Thud.

​

The clothes are torn and the wings are revealed. Those who are watching are shocked.

​

“Miss, where are you going?!”

​

“Let’s play!”

​

As he says that, he flies up. Absolutely, absolutely! He must not be caught now. Therefore, there is no collateral that has the power to fly up. Most of them are so weak that they only have a sunlight-like atmosphere.

​

“Huh?! Where are you at this hour?! You have class, right?!”

​

I heard yelling, but so what? If it’s not work, Mom said to do whatever you want. It’s the head of the household’s order. Isn’t that more important?

​

I flew for a long time. The time I flew to see the child was only a moment, but my body was telling me so. When I came down and checked, I saw that I was covered in sweat.

Come to think of it, I can’t remove the wings. My clothes got ripped when I just took the wings off…

​

“Um… .”

​

I was worried that I would get a lot of attention from people if I spread my wings and flew around… I was worried about what to do…

​

-Pfft.

​

“Gyaak!!”

​

Something hit me from behind.

​

“That’s right… .”

​

With a rumbling sound, a familiar power resonated through me.

​

“… Yeon-ah?”

​

Why is this kid here? Or rather, where did he come from?

​

“Baby-!!”

​

From behind, I could hear the sound of someone running towards Yeon-i. Ah. Now I’m starting to understand. The cat recognized me from afar and suddenly ran towards me. … But do cats usually do that?

You can’t push away a dog that’s wagging its tail or grumbling.

​

“Grrr… .”

​

I don’t know what to do with that child who is wagging his tail and sticking to me. Even though the child came here and I flew here, I didn’t come here thinking of the child doing this.

​

“… . Yeon-ah.”

​

In front of me, I see the appearance of the landlady of Baekhoga. The child has an expression on her face that suggests she knows why, but that is not the problem.

The problem was that he was slowly showing his tail. Last time he was with me, he showed his tail too, so I guess I and the Blue Dragon are in that position to him.

​

It was possible to infer. We have already heard a lot about how badly he was treated growing up. If there was a backlash against him and he came to like us through him, then no one would be able to say anything.

​

“Yeon-ah. The madam is here.”

​

“… . Grung… .”

​

It was really cute how he grumbled as if it didn’t matter. But more than that, I heard he was a kid who thought his mission was more important, but isn’t this behavior the opposite?

At this point, I would have believed it if I told you I was this child’s mother.

​

“… Sorry, little swindler. Yeon-i seems to like you a lot.”

​

“No, it’s just cute.”

​

He gently strokes the head and shows that he is not uncomfortable. At first glance, it looks like just a giant cat. No, am I right? The current state is actually a state where the cat’s instincts are being taken advantage of by the White Tiger’s ability.

In times like these, I usually have to wake them up by saying things that bring them back to reality… but I was worried that it might be touching on something like the child’s trauma. While I was unable to do anything, the landlady of Baekhoga opened her mouth.

​

“… While we’re at it, could you take care of the kid for a bit? I’ll be checking out some travel gear for a bit… .”

​

“Oh, by the way, you said you were going to Saebyeok Village.”

​

How surprised I was when I heard that they were going to the village where the House of the Black Bird began and where the dawn broke the fastest within the House of the Black Bird. It was the closest village to the House of the Blue Dragon.

Now it has become a village where collateral lines live, but it wasn’t like that before. It was a place where prestigious buildings were lined up, where the direct lineage lived and maintained.

​

‘Now most of these main characters have moved to the middle and are meaningless.’

​

Well, that wasn’t the only attraction there.

​

Anyway, it wasn’t that hard to understand why they took so long to come here. It would be strange if they were told to come from the largest city in the west to the eastern outskirts, and it didn’t take more than a few days.

Since the palace is in the middle, it is a distance that can be traveled back and forth in a day or two. Besides, this is currently the center of the southern territory.

​

Of course, it’s true that she could have skipped it, but it was obvious why she went through all that.

​

‘I guess it’s because he and I are close.’

​

“Yes! Have a nice day!”

​

I waved my hand, feeling happy that she trusted me that much.
