The only difference would be the eyes. The iris of the powerful magician Yeon Sang-ha was stained red with the color of unique particles, but the eyes of the woman in the photo were of a normal color.

“Sir, why are you looking at people’s faces so intently…? ”

Yeon Myeong-ha clasped her hands, adjusted her coat, and looked sideways at me.

Below, I can catch a glimpse of the thin camisole with white, fluttering lace that I saw last time in the South.

“Yes, I really like your bold side, but… Anyway, it’s a bit difficult to be this blatant… ”

“Sorry. I remembered seeing a photo of my senior’s aunt while walking down the hallway earlier. I really thought they looked a lot alike… ”

“… ”

Yeon Myeong-ha looks at me with a look of resentment and sighs.

What do you not like so much? Whether in the past or present, the emotions of a woman are completely unpredictable…

“… I also heard a lot. I really look like my aunt. But that’s because we’re the same woman, and in some ways, she resembles my father. My aunt was my father’s twin sister.”

“Does your aunt also live in this mansion?”

“That’s not true. My aunt died in an accident the year I was born.”

Yeon Myeong-ha shook her head left and right.

“He said he had a very close relationship with his father. So my father was very heartbroken at the time. I was so heartbroken that I even burned all but one photo… ”

“Is that so… ”

“Yes. He said that his father’s mental contamination, which was quite good, got worse after that… Since then, I haven’t been able to properly respond to Paecheon’s offensive, so now the momentum is a bit shaken… It’s that kind of situation, well… ”

“… ”

“Maybe that’s why my father avoids me… Because it will remind you of the dead younger brother you loved… I should try harder… Thanks to you, I regained my health… ”

Yan Yanha looked at me and smiled weakly.

I think it was because he trusted me to sympathize with him, but I felt a little heavy because I felt like he listened to more of the backstory than necessary to satisfy a small curiosity.

For a moment, I was worried that Yeon Myeong-ha might ask other members of Jeokhwa to use my power, but she never mentioned that matter.

You probably know it yourself. That it’s not that easy. Because it will be on a completely different level from controlling one person with compassion like now.

It’s not that I don’t want to do that, but the promise I made to the leader to keep it a secret is more important.

It was a story that had no reality at all.

“Lee, let’s stop talking about this now. Rather, how long are you going to keep me standing here… ? I’m starting to want to do some Darissi… ”

“Oh, excuse me.”

When I step aside, he moves towards the chair next to the bed with no hesitation or pity.

However, I can see that the long hair on the back of her head is not straight and is tangled up and floating around.

It is a mistake that is not seen at all in the usual Yeon Myeong-ha. Could it be that they didn’t look properly because they were sneaking down to avoid prying eyes?

I don’t think there’s any need to say it because it might be embarrassing. But I think it would be better for me to tell you, rather than being found out later by the employee or the strict hostess.

In the end, after much deliberation, I decided to tell her the truth.

“Me, senior.”

“Yes… ?”

“The back of my hair was not properly organized. You need to clean it again.”

“Well, well… ? Hmm… ”

Yeon Myeong-ha, who was sitting on a chair and tilting her head, hastily checks her head with both hands. Soon her face turns bright red like a kettle of boiling water.

Looking at the reaction, I think telling him was the best choice.

“Here’s the comb… ”

And the moment I turned to hand over the comb I found after searching through the drawer, I closed my eyes tightly.

Because I was sitting on a chair, the hem of my camisole, which wasn’t long enough, was rolled up to my thighs.

More than half of her white and thin thighs are already exposed, and every time she raises her arms to straighten her hair, its length gradually gets shorter.

This girl probably didn’t do it on purpose.

Thinking that there might be a catastrophe, I found a coat and quickly wrapped it around her knees.

“What… what… ”

Only then does Yeon Myeong-ha, who understands the situation, blush even more. Then, he clasped his hands between his legs and glared at me with tearful eyes as if I were going to kill him.

“Rice, pervert… goat… ”

“… ”

I am left speechless due to the red and blue light. I feel a little bit unfair.

At least now I know that that sympathetic reaction isn’t because he really thinks of me that way.

Yang Yeon-ha lowered her head for a moment and mumbled something in a voice the size of an ant.

“… Will you give it to me?”

“Yes?”

“Yes, I asked if you could comb it for me… It’s hard to reach because it’s at the back… The surroundings are dark… ”

“… Okay.”

okay. Since I spoke out, I should take responsibility…

I grabbed the comb I found earlier and walked up behind her.

He flinched for a moment in sympathy, cleared his throat, and straightened up slightly.

I began to gently straighten out the tangled hair by applying a little pressure to the hand holding the comb and detangling it.

Suddenly, no one said anything, and only a faint rustling sound echoed in the quiet room.

However, as I stood near the top of my head, the sweet scent that usually came from Yeon Myeong-ha became even stronger, to the point that it gave me a headache.

So far, I have smelled this type of scent only three times in my life. One is the forget-me-not scent of my childhood, and the other is the scent of fresh grass that the principal used to smell. And even the luxurious and sweet scent wafting towards Yeon Myeong-ha right now.

When I came to the cradle, I learned that these scents even had an academic name, particle scent. Did you say that it is a phenomenon that only appears to a very small number of highly talented female magicians?

“Woman, you seem quite used to dealing with women. There are parts that are more delicate and considerate than I thought… Is that your weapon… ? A two-pronged strategy… ”

As if the long silence was awkward, Yeon Myeong-ha blurted out something completely unintelligible without any context.

“… I don’t know what you’re talking about. But this is the scent I always smell from seniors. Is it the particle scent?”

“Huh? That’s right. But why… ?”

“It’s not a big deal. I just really like the scent. It feels sweet, and it also seems like there’s a luxurious lingering scent… What scent is it?”

“Good, good… Moon, sweet… ”

Suddenly, Yeon Myeong-ha lowered her head, and the hand holding the comb split the air.

“… Why do you blurt out things like that so casually? ”

After a while, Yeon Yeon-ha raised her head, cleared her throat a couple of times, and said.

“Can’t you ask about the scent? What scent is this?”

“… I didn’t know either, but people who used it in the past said it was very similar to daffodils… ”

“Daffodils. It’s definitely not bad.”

Among the flowers my mother planted in the flower bed when I was young, there were daffodils. The appearance and impression certainly seem to suit Yeon Yeon-ha.

“I like this too. It is not something you can choose the particle scent as you wish. In a book I read a while ago, I read that there was a wizard who smelled so bad that he had to be covered in perfume before he could go outside… It’s terrible… ”

Yeon Myeong-ha nodded her head slightly, then suddenly turned her head slightly and made eye contact with me, who was combing her hair.

“… And the reason my scent has become stronger is because of you.”

“Yes?”

“Originally it was light and subtle… It’s gotten a lot darker since you stopped the mental contamination. So please accept it.”

“… I have no complaints whatsoever. And isn’t it because of it, not because of it? I guess it means that my health has been restored through my abilities and my magical abilities have also improved.”

“Ah, anyway… ! Well, of course I’m thankful for that, but… ”

“You just need to know. Now that’s it. Would you like to check it out?”

Yang Yeon-ha, who was trying to raise her voice slightly as if she were embarrassed, put her hand behind her hair. Then, as if he was a little surprised, he opened his eyes and muttered.

“You comb it really well… It was like that back then too… ”

I knew right away what time Yeon Yeon-ha was talking about, but I tried my best to pretend not to know.

In fact, it is something that we have no choice but to do well.

Combing someone’s hair is something I am very familiar with.

When I was young, it was something I did every single day for several years.

‘Hyun, I like it best when you brush my hair… Yeojin combs her hair better than her sister… !’

‘really? Did you decide to brush your hair every day? ‘Is this a promise?’

Suddenly, under the cover of darkness, an auditory hallucination from the past seeped into my ears again, but it was dissipated into the air by the voice of someone real right next to me.

“… Yes. May I also ask you something… ?”

Yeon Myeong-ha said, twisting the hair she had worked so hard to comb again. Looking at her tickled expression, it seems like she has something new that she’s really curious about.

What on earth is it that makes me hesitate like this? I think I’ve already dug up everything I could find along the way.

“What is it?”

“That… if… Yeon… Who could it be? ?”

But at the name that came out of his mouth, I closed my eyes tightly.
