Rael was confused.

At some point, when I came to my senses, I found myself inside a very familiar mansion.

-W-this place…

Where she worked her entire life.

A place that holds many memories.

A place where death occurred at the same time.

It was none other than the mansion of Count Calixina.

-why…!?

Although she was very embarrassed, she calmly tried to recall the memory.

For some reason, my mind was very dull and my senses were sensitive, and I felt like I had had a ‘terrible nightmare’ and had been ‘processed’ of some kind, but I unconsciously ignored it.

-…?

After tilting her head for a moment due to the strong sense of discomfort, she was soon able to recall the memory she wanted.

-Obviously, after giving the energy to Noeul, I met Hangil in my dream… That’s right. Letel and Noeul headed to the space of nothingness together to save Hangil. and…

And when I came to my senses, I found myself here.

It felt like quite a bit of time had passed, but the memories from that time had disappeared as if they had been edited.

-I don’t know what it is…what!?

Creepy!

Even though she is not a living person, she suddenly feels chills and her complexion turns pale.

Because I knew the identity of that chill better than anyone else.

-Huh…!?

She hurriedly turns around following the sense of presence, and her eyes widen in embarrassment and fear.

“Rael…? How did you come out…?”

The person who appeared with an unpleasant voice that sounded like scratching an iron plate had a hideous and disgusting appearance.

The face, covered with all kinds of wounds and tumors, was so distorted that it was unrecognizable as a human figure, the dress, which would have been ancient and beautiful in the past, was old and worn and unsightly, and the body exposed under the dress was full of painful wounds just to look at.

-Kalixena…Afobat? How on earth are you alive…?

“Rael. What do you mean?”

Again.

As she takes a step closer, the unpleasant voice that sounds like scraping on a steel plate is replaced by a clear, husky voice.

“How on earth are you alive? Are you saying you can’t see me right now?”

Again.

As we take another step closer, the old and worn dress is slowly restored, regaining its former elegance and splendor.

“Are you insulting me too? Do you think my current appearance is ridiculous and mean?”

-No, that’s not it! Apobat! I just…

Again.

The wound has healed, and my hair, as dark as the dawn sky, flows like waves and grows to my back.

“Just, what is it? What is the purpose of looking at me now and asking if I am still alive?”

Again!

The wounds and tumors have disappeared as if washed away, the distinct facial features and large eyes have regained their original appearance, and the smooth, pure white skin has a texture like milk.

-Ugh…!

The beautiful figure and elegance of the goddess of the night were the same as when she was alive, but Rael, who felt a strong sense of intimidation and threat, unknowingly stepped back.

“Rael. Why did you back away? Are you scared of me too?”

-Sorry, sorry! I just…!

As Rael continues to retreat, Kalixeyna Afobat’s pretty face becomes distorted.

“You, too, look down on me! That’s why you rejected me and got away like this! Ugh, keaaa! Just like those bastards! Like that traitor! You ungrateful thing! I took care of you even in death, and this is how you repay the favor! ”

Lael, intimidated by the sudden outburst of emotions and pressure, trembled with his lips.

-Well, it’s not like that…!

“Shut up! You smell like the living! You smell like food from the world! Where have you been secretly? Are you plotting how to kill this body with these hateful humans!?”

-…!!

“You’re trying to betray me! Even you! Even you!”

Bloody tears flow from the eyes of Kalixeyna Afobat, who is glaring at her as if she were going to kill him.

“I cannot tolerate! I cannot forgive! Come back into me again! I will not let you go this time. You will kill humans with me in my arms forever, forever!”

-Si, I don’t like it! I, I…Hmph!?

Rael, who was about to say something, froze.

This is because Kalixeyna Afobat, with her eyes wide open and gritted teeth, gave off a dark and ominous aura.

“What did you say now? You don’t like it? You don’t like it? Haha, hahaha… How dare you, how dare you, truly…!”

Pop! Pop!

“Come here! I will punish you! Rael!”

-Whoa!?

Rael, caught by telekinesis, takes a vain breath.

-Oh, no…!

She tried to resist somehow, but the difference in power was so obvious that she couldn’t even lift a finger.

“Come!”

Easy profit!

Rael’s body is dragged gliding towards Kalixei or Apobat.

-Ahhh…! no! I don’t like it! I don’t want to go back to that dark place again! Apobat! I have a man I love! please! Please have mercy…!

Her voice, which she shouted with fear and despair, was cut off as if cut by a knife.

“…Rael?”

Kalixeyna Afobat, who was smiling sadistically, tilted her head.

“Rael? Rael? Rael?”

Her expression becomes confused with confusion and doubt.

It was clearly right in front of us, but where did we go?

“Aaaah!

Her voice fills with tears as she cannot find the person who disappeared.

“Rael…! Ugh, huh…! I hate it, everything, I hate it…!”

In an abandoned mansion that no one was looking for, a creepy, haunting sound began to echo.

***

Left! Juuung! Diggy digiding! ridge! ridge! Boom! Boom boom!

-Uh, uh…?

Rael, who thought he would be absorbed by Kalixey or Afobat, blinked his wide eyes at the familiar office scene unfolding before him.

Because of that, the tears that had been building up are flowing down.

-what…

It’s definitely a familiar sight.

It was clearly the office I had always seen.

however…

Floating! Doo doo! Left!

A loud music sound that seemed to resonate directly inside the body was echoing throughout the office.

-What the hell…what happened!?

Not only that, but the entire office was decorated like a party hall, with poorly made decorations that seemed to have been made in a hurry and helium balloons fluttering around, obstructing the view.

“Ah! It’s here!”

While she was in a daze, unable to keep up with the situation, Retel, wearing funny, loud, and flashy glasses, smiled happily at her and waved.

-Retel…? Can you see me?

“Then you can see it! These glasses are called ‘New Generation Glasses for Becoming Friendly with Party People’! They are a supernatural entity that can see ghosts or anything else in the party!”

-…Isn’t there such a thing as ordinary glasses to see ghosts?

“If there was such a thing, I would have used it a long time ago! Such a useful and versatile supernatural object is not easily created! Anyway, Rael! How is the situation going on now!?”

Seeing her struggling to keep up with the sound of the music, Rael, frowning, makes a puzzled expression.

-What do you mean?

“I thought I was dead, but I suddenly returned to the past! Even the others…Rael? What’s going on? Why are you crying?”

-Oh…it’s nothing. are you okay.

Rael relaxes in an instant and wipes away his tears with trembling hands.

-By the way, Retel. Where are the others? Retel, you can’t call me, can you?

“Huh? Ah…I’m hiding.”

– Hiding? why?

Rael, unable to understand what she said, looks around.

-…Ah, there you are.

Eun No-eul, Heo Sae-ron, and Kwon Gyeong-gu were somehow invisible, but they could not avoid the ghost’s eyes.

-Noeul. Nice to see you again. But where is Hangil…

“Don’t come closer.”

Slam!

-…yes? uh?

When Eun No-eul aims the gun with a murderous expression, Lael, embarrassed, steps back.

“Wait, wait! Put away the ghost bullets! How many times do I tell you that Rael is not the enemy?”

“…Retel. Explain the current situation in as much detail as possible. How did my call summon that ghost named Rael? And how do you know that? It seems like that ghost also knows me…”

“Ha, I mean…it’s a bit complicated to explain.”

“Explain. Right now.”

Rael, who obtained information from a series of conversations, looks at Retel in surprise.

-Re, Retel!? Could it be that Noeul’s memories…?

“It’s not just that his memories have disappeared. He’s completely returned to the past. Moreover, Han-gil is unexpectedly in a completely different dimension.”

-yes!? What is that…!

Just when she was surprised and was about to pour out questions to resolve the countless doubts rising in her mind, her vision changed once more.

***

“…Rael. Do you recognize who I am?”

-ah…

Rael’s face, which had been expressionless for a while after hearing my question, slowly opened up like a bright red flower bud blooming.

“…Haaa…”

When I saw that, I relaxed slightly.

Because that all-too-familiar smile and gaze seemed to tell me that they remembered me.

-Hangil! You’re safe!

“Wow!?”

As I hugged her, who was rushing towards me so quickly without any chance to escape, my premonition turned into certainty and I let out a sigh of relief.

-I don’t know what happened! When I opened my eyes, I suddenly found myself in Kalixena Mansion! When I was called in by Noeul, there was a party going on at the Paranormal Response Team office! Letel says he has returned to the past! Noeul doesn’t remember me!

“What? Rael. Do you want to hear that in detail, eupeup!?”

Having had her lips stolen by surprise, I stiffened and stared at her.

“Chuuuup! Chuuup! Nchuuupuup…!”

After biting and sucking very thickly, she half-forcefully pushed her tongue in and swirled the inside of her mouth until it became sticky.

“Eup!? Eup! Eupgeubeu!”

I was startled by the unexpected stimulation and tried to push her away, but my hand passed through her body in vain.

No, not only that, but in a clever way, it materializes only certain parts and encourages you to touch them!

This is so cruel.

Aren’t you using the fact that you’re a ghost too well?

-Chulup, chulup…chulup.

She tangled her tongue like a twist and tasted every inch of the inside of her cheek and under her tongue. After sucking in her breath and saliva to her heart’s content, she stepped back and savored her appetite with a flushed face.

Honestly, she looks more like a succubus than Noeul.

“Haha, haha…”

-Hehe…that’s good. A kiss of reunion. You liked Hangil too, right?

“…Rael. I told you several times not to force it.”

-sorry. But I can’t suppress my overflowing heart…

“Ugh…”

I shook my head because I was not unaware of her feelings.

-Oh, but Mr. Hangil. Come to think of it, aren’t we in a ‘space of nothingness’ right now?

“Huh? Oh, right, Rael. This is Earth 44 where we were… no, the silent dimension? Anyway, it’s not that world. Did I mention it? It’s the fantasy uninhabited island of Earth 69 that I mentioned in the first post…”

-More than that, I want to hear an answer.

“Huh? Answer? What answer?”

I looked at her blankly and she glared at me.

-Have you already forgotten? Didn’t you say that you would answer my feelings once I leave the ‘voiceless dimension’?

“…Is that so? No, even so, in this situation, it’s a bit…and it’s too early. Let’s take a little more time…”

– Should I just attack it?

“Huh? What did you say?”

-I was debating whether to attack or not. Are there any suitable caves on an uninhabited island?

“…Huh? What did you say?”

-If you ask me one more time, I will agree here.

“……”

Her eyes were sincere, so I pretended not to notice and turned my head away.

-Ha…Anyway, I’m glad to see you safe. I was really relieved.

“Thank you so much for that.”

-Are you upset? That’s cute.

She smiles slightly and pinches my cheek.

-Rather than that, I would like to hear an explanation of this place and the situation, but it seems like some pretty vicious animals live here.

Kwasik! Squeak!

“Kaaeang!?”

“Kuhuhuhhh!”

Rael’s telekinesis instantly crushed the wolf that was secretly approaching.

I see that they have horns on their foreheads, so they are the ones that shoot out lightning.

“…It’s an uninhabited island. An uninhabited island on Earth 69. There’s not much to explain other than this.”

-Is that so? Hmm…

As she looked around the sea and jungle, she recited a short review.

-It doesn’t seem to be suitable for human habitation.

“That’s right. Ah, but Rael. What do you mean by that? Noeul doesn’t remember you?”

-oh. Come to think of it, I forgot to mention that. That’s right. Noeul didn’t remember me.

“…Maybe Saeron or Gyeong-gyeong?”

-I couldn’t confirm it because I was called by Hangil, but I think it’s probably the case. Ah, but not Letel. You definitely remembered us.

“……”

The reason Retel’s memory is intact is probably because of the ‘absolutely couple ring’.

However, the reason why Rael’s memories are safe… I honestly don’t know.

Is it because it’s my summon? Other than that, I have no idea.

-So, what happened? Please explain everything.

“Ah, so…”

I slowly explained from the point where I headed to the ‘space of nothingness’ with Noeul and Letel.

It didn’t take that long.

To sum it up simply, it’s all about ‘I was killed by a constellation that suddenly came while trying to escape from a space of nothingness.’

-…So, you’re saying that you’ve already died once and returned to the past?

“…Why are you angry?”

She gritted her teeth so hard that her jaw muscles stood out and glared at me with a menacing look in her eyes, so my shoulders naturally shrank.
