{Dirrin Village}

Diendeluka Hahyint was left alone in the village where all her family had left.

He was steadily handling the financial situation of {Dirlin Village} and the ever-increasing workload with the help of Deacon Nam.

＂The magic stones of the wolf beastmen tribe and the grains of the rabbit beastmen tribe are more abundant than expected..＂

“I’d like to pay the full price for these, but…”

Except for the female knights with the minimum skills to protect the village, most of them had fled to the war.

As such, most of {Dirlin Village} are men who have families and have children.

There is a severe lack of manpower to distribute and distribute these numerous materials.

In fact, it was as if the village’s balance had collapsed.

It was such a tense situation.

＂Hahyeont, what do you think of this method?＂

Seeing Hahyunt’s troubled expression, Deacon Nam suggests a solution to the problem.

“We are asking for manpower from the rabbit beast people who have some level of interaction with humans.”

“That’s why the price of grain is so high.”

In fact, the rabbit beast people have a larger population than {Dirrin Village}.

As the numerous rabbit-beast tribes needed a large amount of food to survive, their level of farming reached a far differentiated level.

Furthermore, as they were a rabbit tribe of beastmen who were able to farm thanks to the favor of {Dirrin Village}, it was clear that they would volunteer to help in such a difficult situation.

After resolving all these concerns, Hahyunt’s expression seemed to have relaxed somewhat, but…

“Ha.. I’m worried.”

There was a hint of anxiety and nervousness on his face as he sighed deeply again.

Over the past year…

In addition to Dahin’s kidnapping, Dincia and Asia’s participation in the war between the kingdom and the empire…

A lot of mind-boggling things were happening all the time, so Hahyunt was in a very mentally unstable state.

Moreover, at this point in Dincia’s absence, I had to constantly pay attention to the state of the village, so I even began to show early symptoms of anxiety disorder.

By now… just thinking about Dincia and Asia, who have arrived on the battlefield, gives me a bad feeling that something bad will happen.

Not only did I get extreme dizziness, but sometimes I had to take medication because I felt short of breath.

‘Hahyeont-nim..’

Deacon Nam, who is steadily assisting him, prepares medicine and jasmine tea to relieve Hahyunt’s anxiety, as always, and quietly puts them down next to him.

Sweet…

＂Hahyeont.. It’s jasmine tea.＂

Steam rising above the pile of documents placed on the desk…

“after….”

Hahint sighs deeply as he looks at the documents that are steadily increasing even as he continues to process them.

“As always, we will come back victorious from the battlefield.”

“How about taking a walk for a while?”

Perhaps worried about Hahyunt, who had been buried in a mountain of documents for several days and was concentrating on work, Deacon Nam gently took his coat and tried to carefully put it on.

“I guess so..”

Wouldn’t it feel a little more comfortable if you smell the chilly air outside? Thinking about this, Hahyunt decides to go out for a while.

Sigh..

After attaching the [Small Flame Brooch] that Dahein gave him to the center of his coat, he goes out of the mansion and begins walking through the snow-covered garden.

‘It’s chilly…’

Since {Dirlin Village} is located on a high altitude, summer is relatively short, and winter has arrived so quickly that white snow has already begun to pile up.

Hahyunt, who was slowly exhaling cold breath like a puffy cloud, soon fiddled with the brooch attached to her coat.

Rattling.

Then, the warmth gradually spreading around him began to touch the skin of even the male butler following him.

＂This item that you gave me as a gift is truly amazing. Hahyunt..”

It was a male butler whose warmth you could feel just by being next to him.

＂Since you are a person who resembles the Lord, you will definitely shine wherever you go.＂

The deacon continued to speak naturally to calm Hahint’s feelings.

Deacon Nam’s efforts seemed to have been effective, as Hahyunt’s expression seemed to have become much more relaxed.

＂Cancer.. not like that.＂

“When did you grow up so much? I miss you already.”

With the pleasant sound of stepping on snow, we arrived at a garden full of [Black Petunia].

A large number of [Black Petunia] flowers bloomed beautifully on the white snow field, boasting a beautiful and dreamy appearance. The butler’s eyes widened at the affectionate appearance, as if he were looking at a painting.

‘This is really amazing…’

Apparently, just a few days ago, when Deacon Nam briefly walked around the garden, there was not a single flower to be seen… When Hahyunt came out to see it, the flowers were showing off their beautiful appearances as if they had made a promise.

“You bloomed beautifully this time too..”

Hachint smiles happily as she looks at the flowers of [Black Petunia], carefully bends down and gently strokes the glowing black petals and then touches them.

“He always jumped into the battlefield as if nothing had happened..”

“I don’t show it, but I worry more than anyone else.”

“He who cared for his people more than anyone else… was always just and proud.”

As she looked at the black petals, Hahyunt began to show a sad expression full of longing, perhaps because she was thinking of Dincia’s black hair.

“That kind of trust in oneself may have pushed him even further..”

“I feel anxious now..”

“I wish you would trust others more.”

The butler doesn’t know what to do when he sees how pitiful Hahint’s expression looks, but just… quietly watches him from the side.

Tears welled up between those red eyes, like a winter rabbit holding its head up high on a field of pure white snow.

Hahyunt, who probably hoped that Dincia would lean on him a little more, immediately stood up with a small smile, as if it reminded her of her childhood.

＂For him..＂

“I will do my best in what I can do.”

Deacon Nam, feeling a little relieved to see that Hahyunt seems to have made up his mind once again, quietly follows him.

***

A few days passed like that.

“eww…”

The moaning sound of Shumi, who was lying asleep on a bed in one corner of the infirmary.

I flinched from the pressure as if a hot stone was pressing down on my entire body, but the aftereffects of enormous growing pains caused me to wake up all at once as if frightened.

Shake!!

＂Gagging!!＂

A burning thirst.

The sudden surge of survival instincts catches Shumi by surprise.

“W-Where am I?”

Shumi’s expression was one of confusion as he urgently looked around. He continues to look around in a dazed state, as if he is not yet fully aware of his current situation.

A strange feeling of hot magical power felt throughout the body.

No, it’s different. At that moment, Dincia’s red magic around Shumi’s body completely disappeared, and Shumi also seemed to sense that the strange feeling had disappeared, as she fiddled with her body here and there.

‘Well, now that I think about it…’

For a moment, Shumi remembered the events that happened in {Ryu Nest}.

And the faintly passing afterimage of the past.

Shumi’s expression, as he pondered why he was in this place and what situation he was facing, showed more seriousness than embarrassment.

And even the last sight of Martina passing through her head.

As soon as Dahein’s image appeared in his blurry memory, Shumi was able to recognize to some extent that this was his residence. He put his feet on the floor to stand up from the bed.

＇What is it?＇

＇Has the bed become smaller..?＇

But for some reason, Shumi, who felt as if her body had grown a lot, struggled to hold on to her shaky legs and stood up with difficulty and headed toward the mirror.

Flutter.. Flutter..

The power of the growing pains that I could still feel was greater than I thought, and thick sweat began to flow down my entire body.

Not only had I not used my body for almost half a year, but my body had grown rapidly while I was asleep, so walking was bound to be awkward.

‘I feel like my whole body is going to be torn apart..’

Shumi barely made it to the mirror, putting strength on her shaky legs. She showed an expression of disbelief and at the same time lost all strength and flopped down!! and sits down.

Her light pink hair, like strawberry milk, was long and flowing down to her waist.

The pink pupil, reminiscent of a deep pink diamond, sparkled beautifully as if it contained the universe, exuding its presence.

Shumi, who had the body of a child that did not match her age, was now showing the body of a strong adult woman, with her massive breasts clearly exposed.

The fact that she became slightly plump… The flesh was also well-balanced, highlighting her healthy beauty.

＂Couldn’t it be.. it’s not a dream??＂

Shumi, who had never believed that this was reality, immediately touched her own breast, which boasted a heavy weight, and at the same time felt the vivid touch, and soon realized that this was reality, and was clearly embarrassed.

Shumi’s ponytail moves vividly as if representing her mood at that moment. AKA stupid hair…

The ponytail that was shaking more mercilessly than I thought was bothersome, so I tried my best to hide it by holding on to it and squeezing it down, but there was nothing I could do other than confirm that it was not something I did of my own will.

It’s like a dog’s tail.

When a loud noise was heard in the infirmary, the doctor who was treating Shumi came in, recognized the situation, and spoke calmly.

“You finally woke up.”

“Let’s change seats first.”

As if he had known in advance that this situation would come, the doctor headed somewhere and Shumi also quickly got up, put strength on her shaking legs, and slowly followed behind her.
