with a plop-!

Do Yu-jin sighed in relief as she watched Rumi fall into the river.

‘It was lucky that Kang showed up at a good time. It was also lucky that I knew a lot about him.’

The heroines of [Circle Academy] basically had a weakness, commonly referred to as a moe point.

And Rumi’s moe point was that although she usually acts rough, she becomes timid when pushed.

‘If I hadn’t used that part, I’d probably still be caught.’

Do Yu-jin let out a sigh of relief, then grumbled without realizing it.

“No, by the way, this is ridiculous. What did I do to make you fall in love with me?”

If he had been kind to her like he was to the other heroines and then heard those words, I would have understood, but all Do Yu-jin did after meeting Rumi was to hit her for fun.

‘Does that guy like getting hit or attacked?’

……huh?

‘If you think about it, it doesn’t make sense. The heroine in the game is supposed to fall for the main character easily, so it wouldn’t be strange for her to have such a tendency.’

There were many strange things, but Do Yu-jin, who had already encountered the error called Lumi, could not notice them.

As Do Yu-jin was racking his brain, an ominous thought came to his mind.

‘Huh? Wait a minute. Then does that mean the other heroines have similar tastes to her?’

Do Yu-jin, who felt a chill down her spine for some reason, decided to give up on her previously planned plan to ‘approach the heroine disguised as a villain.’

“By the way, I don’t know what the situation is.”

Do Yu-jin, who had regained her composure a little, looked back on the situation from earlier.

‘Fuma Shigure and Kagura Rumi. These two are here now, so I can say it’s because of my influence and get over it, but I don’t know why Mine suddenly popped up.’

It was too uncomfortable to just think of it as an anomaly in the Hell difficulty and pass it over.

“For now, it’s fortunate that we’ve made the minimum preparations… … ”

A moment ago, Do Yu-jin pretended to attack them and placed some of the shards of the cube he had used as a trick into their shadows.

So, unless the guys left the city and stayed still, I should be able to track their location using [The One Standing at the Edge of Darkness (9★)] for at least three days.

‘I think it would be better to first get what we need from the dungeon as planned, and then follow those guys.’

Jjatcha-

“Then, should I just take a look at you first and then go in and get some sleep?”

Doyujin, who arrived at the forest of Fuma Village where he met Shigure, raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Flutter-

Then, Yuna appeared, now grown big enough to comfortably carry several people.

Yuna glanced at Do Yu-jin once, catching his gaze, and flapped her huge wings in the air.

Shuaaaah-!

Then, countless feathers rose up like a storm and hid Yuna’s figure.

Looking at that scene, Do Yu-jin immediately noticed what Yu-na was trying to do.

It is about revealing one’s true self, which has only been achieved through awakening.

‘I don’t know what it is, but I’m sure it’ll be something more amazing than the crow I saw a little while ago.’

As Do Yu-jin cast an expectant gaze, the black curtain made of countless feathers finally opened.

Hit-

In it, a girl with black hair like Do Yu-jin jumped out with light footsteps.

‘What is it, girl?’

Do Yu-jin opened her mouth in surprise at the unexpected sight.

Moreover, she was no ordinary girl.

She was a girl with such incredible beauty that I seriously had the foolish thought that if she grew up just a little bit more, she might be able to swing around ten thousand men with her fingertips.

‘But why a girl of all people?’

When Do Yu-jin was flustered by Yuna’s unexpected appearance.

Glance-

Fidget fidget-

Yuna began to quietly use her eyes and ears to check her appearance.

Her hair was tied into a dumpling shape on each side, and Yuna kept stroking her round hair with an expressionless face, as if it was quite pleasant to touch.

Every time, the long side hair would sway slightly, and it looked like two tails were waving.

Yuna checked the arms, chest, stomach, pelvis, buttocks, and legs in that order.

Flapping-

Finally, she touched the black cheongsam with crows embroidered on it that she was wearing, checked it, and then raised her head to look at Do Yu-jin.

Eyes that resemble the abyss and are difficult to guess what they are thinking, but somehow familiar.

‘what?’

When Do Yu-jin felt a strange sense of foreboding as if some unconscious part of her was being stimulated while looking at him, she unconsciously stared into his eyes.

Swish-

Yuna spoke quietly in a flat voice that matched her eyes very well.

“Dad.”

“… … Huh?”

Do Yu-jin looked as if she had been hit with cold water at the unexpected words she had suddenly heard.

Do Yu-jin was momentarily taken aback, but soon realized why Yu-na was calling her that.

‘Come to think of it, I remember you telling me to call you oppa or dad last time… … No, but if I had to choose between the two, wouldn’t it be oppa?’

Do Yu-jin was flustered but tried hard to accept the situation, but unfortunately, Yu-na wasn’t finished talking yet.

“Clumsy dad.”

“… … Huh?”

The moment Do Yu-jin couldn’t hold back and opened her mouth in a daze at the unexpected word she heard once again.

“Hehe♥”

Yuna’s originally expressionless face melted like snow and she smiled in a mischievous manner.

◎ ◎ ◎

It is impossible to see and understand the world of microorganisms through the human body.

The world of small, mayfly-like creatures could not be understood through the eyes of such a lofty being.

I may have known the structure of how the world worked, but I couldn’t feel the small currents that each individual created within it.

That is why the being born in the abyss and raised in the abyss was troubled when he saw Do Yu-jin.

What method should I use to get the most out of this strange and bizarre human being who has come down to where I am, and the world in which this human being exists?

The being that had been pondering for a moment soon came to a conclusion.

You just have to create a small, young part of yourself and send it out, and then let it grow.

Simply put, he wanted to create a new self who could see the world from the perspective of the contracted human and grow up, and who could feel the world at his eye level.

Was it because I was born with this purpose?

The moment she first regained consciousness, Yuna remained inside Do Yu-jin and focused on creating her own individuality, different from her original self.

Well, later on, he took the form of a black bird and received Do Yu-jin’s memories in order to save her from danger.

‘I was confused at that time.’

But later I felt relieved.

Because I learned that rather than worrying about my own individuality alone, I could form my self more quickly by communicating imperfectly with the contractor in the form of a bird.

‘It felt really amazing at that time.’

That’s understandable, because it was my first time doing something with others.

The surprise I felt then continued afterward.

For reference, the minimum period of time needed for the formation of the original self was thought to be one year.

But as time passed, that period gradually began to shorten.

Chasing after contractors and eating delicious food together.

Traveling to different places and seeing different things.

Sleeping in the same bed and waking up at the same time.

Because every time I spent time like this, the work of forming my self accelerated.

‘And the most helpful thing of all… was the contractor’s hand?’

Strangely enough, when the contractor stroked me, I felt… … like my head was melting, and when I concentrated in that state, I felt like the work was much easier.

As I continued to work like this day after day, unexpected luck came to me once again.

The remnants of consciousness that would help build the massive magical power and mental foundation needed to shape the new body have rolled in on their own.

‘I was so angry because the contractor forgot about me, but I was so surprised for a moment that I forgot how angry I was.’

“Hoo… … ”

She closed her eyes for a moment and became absorbed in the sentiment. Then, after finishing her reminiscence, she slowly opened her eyes.

And then, overcome by a strange sensation, he quietly checked his new body.

‘The hair is black and the color of the eyes seems to be black as well.’

I liked it.

Because they were both the same color as the contractor’s.

‘Hmm, but the contractor doesn’t have straight hair like me, but rather curly hair, so that part is a little different?’

She looked at him with regret for a moment, then raised her head and looked at the face of the contractor, Do Yu-jin.

Curly hair that is as black as the melted night sky and flutters softly like dark clouds.

‘It was nice to sit there because it was soft.’

Skin that has a whitish tint, as if to say that it prefers moonlight over sunlight.

‘Looking at it this way, it feels even whiter.’

A face that is dense and sharp, yet somehow cute and makes you want to get a little closer.

‘It felt good when I rubbed my beak against the contractor’s cheek.’

Is it because we are looking at it with human eyes and not with bird eyes?

Even though I had seen it many times before, it felt new to me.

‘This is what my one and only contractor looked like.’

As she sat there blankly thinking about that, it suddenly occurred to her that she no longer needed to just sit there and watch.

At that moment, she naturally opened her mouth, preparing to speak.

Worried about what to say?

There was no such thing.

Because the first thing that came to mind was something I had to say right away.

“Dad.”

“… … Huh?”

Seeing Do Yu-jin’s face gradually turn red with embarrassment after hearing those words, she also felt embarrassed without realizing it.

‘Huh? Isn’t this it? I confirmed in a fragment of my consciousness that usually, people call the being who created them ‘parents’ and among them, they call the male one ‘father’?

While thinking like that, I looked at Do Yu-jin’s face.

‘Huh? What is it?’

Yuna felt puzzled by the strange sensation she suddenly felt.

But he stared at Do Yu-jin without turning his gaze.

A dazed look on one’s face, as if one had been hit in the back of the head.

Why is it that I see that sight?

Tickle tickle-

The corners of his mouth moved strangely and the next words he had not expected came out naturally.

“Clumsy Dad♥”

“… … Huh?”

I felt like I let out a really embarrassing sound, but I decided to just ignore it.

Because there was information that it was normal for a daughter to throw a little tantrum to her father.

No, actually, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t something ordinary.

The sight of the contractor staring at him with startled eyes.

“Hehe♥”

If I could keep seeing that sight, then none of that mattered.
