Compassionate softness and slight warmth are transmitted through the arm. I don’t feel the tingling discomfort I always felt at all.

What on earth is going on? Did I get my arm cut off? Or was he paralyzed? Even now, I can still feel the sensations in my five fingers too clearly.

In my throbbing head, the events that have happened so far come back to me quickly and then disappear again and again. I definitely remember chopping off the head of the communist leader and dealing with his subordinates, but at some point, I feel like my memory stopped.

“Umm… ”

As I was twitching my hands out of curiosity, a small moan suddenly escaped from the mouth of the sleeping girl. Then, he suddenly opens his eyes and raises his upper body heavily.

Her free hand very naturally touched the white towel next to her. Then, with a straight face, I moisten it with water and gently squeeze it.

Yang Yeon-ha’s hand holding the towel is straight towards me. Could it be that you don’t know that I’ve opened my eyes? I wonder if my unique sensitivity has become dull because I’m less awake…

“Senior. What are you doing… ?”

“Uh… ?”

Yeon-sik’s pupils twitched a couple of times and then widened.

“… ”

Yeon Myeong-ha naturally puts the towel back in its original place as if nothing had happened.

“Hmm. If something happened, you have to say it happened.”

“… ”

I am speechless at the sudden change in attitude. I turned my gaze back to where my right hand was.

There, parts that were previously hidden by Yeon Yeon-ha’s upper body were revealed.

Yan Yanha’s left hand clamped down on my hand like a crocodile’s mouth and wouldn’t let go.

For some reason, I said it wasn’t moving. If you keep your mouth shut like that, there is absolutely no way to escape.

“Senior. Could you please let go of my hand? It’s a bit frustrating.”

After hearing what I said, Yeon Sang-ha’s gaze also turned downward. After being silent for a moment, Yeon Myeong-ha opened her mouth in her characteristic calm tone.

“Are you saying I’m holding your hand? So just be honest and say you want to hold on to it. I can’t refuse it anyway… ”

“Isn’t it your senior who is holding it, not me? I was unconscious the whole time and just woke up. How can I move my hands?”

“Me? You’re talking nonsense. I think my judgment of the situation is a bit poor because I haven’t recovered yet. It needs more care.”

Yeon Myeong-ha says something at length with a calm face. Instead of answering, I silently tried to pull my hand away, but even that was blocked by the crocodile’s tight mouth.

“Senior. Please let go.”

“… ”

It was definitely surprising that I didn’t feel any discomfort, but more than that, I wanted to feel the freedom of my body.

Yeon Myeong-ha glances at me with an expression that says she doesn’t like something. Then, he slowly unwraps the pod as if he doesn’t feel like it.

After being liberated, I was able to check every part of my body. Bandages and gauze can be seen covering the skin, almost like clothing. It is clean and free of blood, as if it had just been pasted.

I don’t know how long it’s been lying like this, but the cleanliness is beyond description. I just remembered that Yan Yanha had wet a white towel with water and was trying to apply it to my body.

Could it be that Yeon Yeon-ha had been managing it all this time? I can’t believe it, but looking at the circumstances, it seems almost certain.

Perhaps a feeling similar to camaraderie emerged as we experienced that uproar together. It’s the same with pity, and it’s the same with me that I don’t feel any discomfort.

“Have you been taking care of me all this time?”

“Ah, would you have taken care of me anyway? I just stopped by occasionally when I had time. Same as just now. Just a strange thought… ”

“Is that so? Anyway, thank you.”

“Uh, huh? huh. okay… ”

As I was lying in a hospital bed, I could barely lift my head.

A look of confusion flashes across Yeon Sang-ha’s face for a moment, as if she had never expected to hear a thank you.

He soon regains his composure and clears his throat, but he also seems to feel better somehow.

However, Yeon Myeong-ha also doesn’t seem to be in a very good condition.

Aside from the fatigue on her face, there were undoubtedly white bandages and gauze attached to her body, slightly exposed by the edges of her white school uniform.

Come to think of it, Yeon Yeon-ha was also seriously injured that day.

“By the way, are you okay?”

“… Are you worried about me now?”

“Of course you’re not worried. I went through a situation like that.”

Contrary to her cold tone, Yeon-sik’s face brightens again. Looking at things like this, it seems like there’s still a long way to go. Am I the kind of person who can’t even ask questions like that? I know what you think of me on a daily basis.

Still, compared to a few days ago when he was criticized as a pervert and lecher, I would say it is a huge improvement.

“… Hmm. You don’t really need to worry about it. Would I be doing this if it wasn’t okay?”

“Is that so… ”

“You should mind your own body instead. Is there anything uncomfortable? What places don’t move? What about pain?”

To be honest, there is no place that is clean. Although he was not affected by black magic, his body is full of trauma and resulting pain from physical blows.

Feeling dizzy in the head and feeling nauseous in the stomach are probably side effects of overdosing on accelerants and stimulants.

There was no strength in his limbs at all, so he couldn’t even peel off the palms of his hands. I feel like it will probably take some time to regain my previous health. For the time being, it seems like we should avoid maximizing the prediction plan.

-Our Hyun is a good person, so he will listen well, right? Next time, if you do it again, your sisters will tie you tightly with chains…

I suddenly remember the warning Chaewon gave me when I exceeded the time limit. I can still see that ugly sight and it gives me a little goosebumps.

I think I overdid it quite a bit this time. But to be honest, I don’t feel very connected to the longevity aspect.

There is no way to know how much it has shrunk right now, and it does not mean that it has become immobile to the point of death.

On the contrary, if the mess was resolved with a few years of life, I honestly feel like it might have been cheap.

However, there is no need to tell Yeo Yeon-ha like this. First of all, this is a secret even to my sisters. Sisters who are truly angry are so scary that even the leader notices them…

“I’m not that bad either. If I rest for a few days and get some recuperation, I think I’ll feel better soon.”

“How can you give the same answer as expected? Even though men live with bravado… ”

However, he refuted my words as if he had been waiting for pity.

“No matter how much you say, there is no such thing as early discharge. I know so… ”

“… ?”

My head tilts to the side at the incomprehensible words of Yeon Myeong-ha.

“… I understand for now. But is this a cradle?”

Yeon Myeong-ha nods her head.

“That’s right. I rented an entire ward in the crib.”

“If it’s okay, can you tell me a little about what happened so far? My memory is a bit vague in the middle.”

“I remember… It doesn’t fly? So how much do you remember? ?”

Suddenly, Yeon Myeong-ha trembles and asks a question.

“Even the situation where I cut off the head of a leader and dealt with his subordinates. I don’t remember anything from the middle of the fight.”

“… ”

For some reason, Yeon-sik’s venomous expression becomes even more intense. She immediately sighed as if she had resigned herself to something and began to explain.

According to Yeon Gyeong-ha, I lost consciousness after killing all the people gathered in that canyon.

A few hours later, the central army of the gateway city arrived, entered Jinryeong, and began to clean up the scene, and we were transported straight to the capital.

It is said that I lay unconscious for several days due to the aftermath of the fight, and she was busy with both treatment and hearing testimony.

Although Jinryeong suffered tremendous damage, it was able to avoid complete collapse. The surrounding agricultural areas were also virtually unpolluted, so the dire situation of a severe food shortage was barely avoided. This was thanks to the fact that all the warlocks died before they could fortify the area and spread magical energy pollution.

Also, fortunately, there were no deaths among the students who accepted this request. All of the students who were scattered throughout the canyon and Jinryeong city were later rescued, and although there were several students like me who were seriously injured, their lives were not in danger at all.

Fortunately, I was the most seriously injured and the last person to wake up.

The company that delivered the request to Yeon Myeong-ha is under intense investigation, including search and seizure, but at this point, there is a high probability that they, too, are victims.

Suddenly, I remember the guy with glasses I killed in the city talking strange things about revelation.

When I relayed the story to Yeon Myeong-ha, she said that she also heard similar sounds from the leader and testified this to the investigation team.

However, since I killed all those at the scene without taking any prisoners, it will take a considerable amount of time to reveal the actual truth.

“You… That strange power… ”

And no matter how much you worry the whole time, one thing pops out of Compassionha’s mouth first.

“That… Is it the same as that power? That makes me feel comfortable… ”

“… you’re right. But maybe… ”

“I guess it was like that… don’t worry. Because I didn’t tell anyone. What is the situation… ?”

“First of all, there are similar circumstances. Thank you.”

“Are you thankful for something like that? Of course it was written in the contract… ”

A sigh of relief flows out of me as I hear Companionship’s words. However, his expression still showed a hint of curiosity. Maybe I’ll need to explain the situation to her later.

But it seemed as if pity still had something left to say. He wiggled his fingers for a while and then opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he had made a big decision.

“Yes. Why did you do something so reckless?”

At Yeon Myeong-ha’s question, I immediately begin to feel my heart being stabbed.

“… Didn’t I tell you? For the benefit of me and my sponsor, my senior… ”

“Do you think that makes sense now? ? No matter how much you risk your life? Is that really all it is?”

Of course, that’s not all. Also, I would know why. Maybe I was projecting her onto a deficiency in my subconscious.

However, it is impossible to say this honestly.

“That’s right. Actually, it wasn’t particularly reckless. Didn’t you succeed anyway?”

“You’re saying that right now… !”

Compassionate, who was about to get angry, suddenly calmed down and sighed lightly.

“… I understand first of all. Rest more. I have to go to the investigation team again… ”

After finishing speaking, Yeon Myeong-ha was about to get up and suddenly turned around and said.

“… But do you think there are a lot of women among your friends?”

“Yes?”

“Two or three people came to visit me, and they were all women. you. Isn’t it true that you did something like that everywhere without restraint?”

“You did something like that?”

“… no. Anyway, the year I came… I sent all your friends away. I still need to calm down, but I can’t put my energy into something pointless. So rest assured and rest well.”

He left the hospital room with only those pitiful words.

The kids who came were probably Jena and her friends. Two or three people isn’t that many. In addition, unlike Yeon Myeong-ha, the names of Mu-young and Seung-heon appear on the visiting card records. Still, I feel a little proud of the fact that I have a friend who will come visit me in the hospital.

Although Yeon-hyeong’s response may be a bit excessive, you can leave the ward after you rest for a while to convey her well-being.

Still, I remember Yena worrying a lot before she left. Who would have thought that those worries would come true?

Thinking like that, I fell asleep again while stroking Peanut’s soft back.

“… you. Take off that mask.”
