Before the man and woman caught in the monolith fall into the nightmare’s nest.

Rohan and Ichinose met after Orion Academy ended.

The time that the two people were missing in this world was approximately 10 hours.

So now is the time between dawn and morning.

The day changed from Friday to Saturday.

Luckily, it’s the weekend and the academy is closed.

Since instructor Jooyeon also has some free time, he can attend the police investigation as the cadets’ guardian.

Rohan and Ichinose are also fine.

There is a space of time that Ichinose Momo has cleverly created.

─ Wouldn’t it be right to fill your stomach before the investigation? After all, you didn’t do anything wrong.

─ Should I take a deep breath and then have lunch?

Even the meal time was leisurely set for a late lunch.

Because Rohan and Ichinose need a stress-free break right now.

Rohan, who had to go to Ichinose and the police station, naturally attended. Momo also invited Sion and Clara, who were present, to the meal and asked them to come as well.

Afterwards, the restaurant designated as the meeting place was confirmed as Ansimjeong (安心停), whose location everyone knew.

It was vaguely decided that the police would visit after dinner.

“Yui. Are you cleaning your room well?”

“Don’t worry! Nose’s room is super clean!”

Noah answers Momo’s question on her behalf, wagging his tail.

As you can see, Ichinose returned to the Academy dormitory with her mother and Noah.

“Should I make some side dishes for you? Are you eating well?”

“My mother worries too much.”

As it is a dormitory where female cadets live, men are not allowed to enter.

Ichinose Jun is sitting with the main character in a nearby cafe to talk about the incident that happened on the deserted island and the current situation.

Noah naturally took Ichinose’s bed.

He didn’t hide the question that only then occurred to him through his innocent eyes.

“I just remembered, Nose was with Rohan?”

“Uh··· That’s right···.”

“What did you two do?”

“It wasn’t anything special… I was just on my way to eat.”

“Aha!”

Noah seemed convinced by the simple explanation.

Ichinose fled from her seat as if she was afraid someone would ask her more intrusive questions.

“···I’ll wash up and come out!”

The girl headed to the bathroom, leaving the clothes that were torn in parts and had to be thrown away in a pile next to the laundry basket.

I started taking a shower to clean my body.

─ Is our Noah having fun at the academy? Is there anything uncomfortable?

─ Yes! It’s more fun because I go with Nose. I study for this exam myself───.

Even with the door closed, I can hear conversations outside.

That doesn’t sound bad. It makes me feel good to listen to it.

Ichinose raised the corners of her mouth as she took a sip of the hot water.

‘···You’re really back.’

The feeling of having made it out of the dungeon alive, despite the odds of survival being as slim as a needle’s eye.

The girl chewed on the dungeon’s surroundings, her white jade-like skin covered in smooth foam.

‘If it weren’t for Rohan, I wouldn’t have been able to come back.’

It made sense why there were so few survivors in the dungeon. It wasn’t just the monsters that were the problem, it was everything, like food and water.

I was just lucky to be with Rohan.

“···.”

When I look back on the past when I had no choice, I realize my lack of skills and need to be motivated to train.

The girl’s consciousness was turned in a different direction.

The hand that was creating bubbles in her jet-black hair stopped.

‘Rohan and those two…’

I remembered Rohan seeing me off, telling me to rest and see him in the afternoon. Sion and Clara remained on Rohan’s side.

I envied the fact that that behavior was natural.

Ichinose came out wearing pajamas after taking a shower.

I feel like I’m going to fall asleep the moment I lay down, perhaps because my body is relaxed by the warm water. As the tension is released, the mental fatigue that had built up comes rushing back.

“Noh-se! Go to sleep!”

“···.”

Noah had already made a bed for himself on the floor.

Judging from the white tiger character and meat drawn all over the blanket, it is bedding brought from his room.

Ichinose didn’t have the strength to tackle or push away Noah, who was full of thoughts of being together in this room. She was too tired right now.

“Mom will be nearby with Dad, so call me when you wake up.”

“Have you found a place to rest?”

“Yeah. But since you’re in Academy City, you should go on a date with Dad.”

Momo knows her husband well.

Ichinose Jun’s heart must be in great turmoil as he witnesses his daughter’s changes.

I still think it’s cute that he doesn’t want to show off.

Momo laid Ichinose and Noah down and then clicked! She turned off the lights.

I left the dorm quietly.

*****

Ansimjeong (安心停) at 2pm.

After a good night’s sleep and a shower, Rohan arrived at the store in a neat state.

I encountered Ichinose and his group, who had just arrived in front of the store with Sion and Clara.

“, Rohan···.”

Ichinose waved her hand slightly and whispered as if sending a signal.

Noah came closer, wiggling his round ears, and showed me his palms.

“High five!”

Rohan raised the corners of his mouth at the lively greeting that he did not know English.

After aligning his palms waiting for a touch, he bowed his head to Ichinose’s parents.

Zion and Clara also showed courtesy.

“Thank you for calling.”

“Feeding my daughter’s friends is a parent’s joy. Thank you for coming.”

Momo smiled as she looked at Rohan and the girls following him.

“Well, go in.”

Ichinose Jun only nods in greeting. He is the complete opposite of Momo, so he is quiet and his atmosphere is different.

Take the lead and head into the store.

Jun Ichinose, who runs a company, has no time to spare, but he stayed in Gakuen City with his wife to attend the event.

There is nothing more precious than family.

Because I was quite concerned about the man my daughter was showing interest in.

“Are our daughters hungry?”

“I’m hungry!”

Noah answers most loudly.

Momo led the group as if she was used to Ichinose Jun leading alone.

Rohan, who was following behind, stared at Ichinose Jun.

I just keep exclaiming in admiration.

Isn’t he a famous person you can’t meet in Abyss City?

‘Is he on the same level as Instructor Joo? He’s a real monster.’

Ichinose Jun, like the main character, was a character who far exceeded the limits of what Rohan could measure.

I walk on the grass at the entrance without making a sound.

I wonder what kind of trajectory the sword I’m holding will take if I pull it out.

“This is Manager Maeng Do-hyeon. It is an honor to guide you.”

Upon hearing the news, the manager of Ansimjeong came out in person.

After exchanging brief greetings, he started walking away.

The group was guided deep into the store to a separate room with a separate garden.

Drrr───.

The door to the private room opens gently.

Ichinose Jun, who was still at the front, sat down first.

Zion and Clara sat with their eyes wide open, leaving the middle empty.

The girls called out to Rohan, knocking on the empty seat.

“Oh, brother···! Sit here!”

“Rohan. Sit down quickly.”

The left and right sides of Rohan were naturally occupied by Yang Sion and Clara.

Even though the space was wide, Rohan and I were so close that our shoulders were touching.

Momo just found the sight of the girls feeling impatient cute.

‘It’s a good time. You’re cute.’

The most lovable character among them is his own daughter, who even accepts his impatient behavior with impatience.

Looking to the side, it looks like he’s about to bite his fingernails.

“Hoohoo.”

Opposite Rohan sat the Ichinose mother and daughter.

Every time Momo made eye contact, she smiled with a mixture of kindness and playfulness, so Rohan was quite embarrassed inside.

While we were chatting about small talk, the food was quickly prepared.

The banquet filled the large table with the momentum of breaking the legs of the table.

Noah began to fill his stomach with food and drink.

Momo naturally took the lead in the conversation. It was interesting to see the twintail girl and the elf girl getting nervous every time they opened their mouths.

How did you capture the heart of an elf at such a young age?

“Rohan Cadet has a bright future ahead of him, having survived the dungeon twice. It’ll be a great resume, right? Honey?”

“Um···.”

Jun Ichinose vaguely agreed with Momo’s words.

It’s true that it’s unprecedented.

“If Ichinose hadn’t been there, I don’t think I would have been able to come back. I was lucky.”

“Ichinose, are you talking about me? Or my husband?”

“···.”

Momo’s smile deepened at Rohan’s speechless appearance.

The cadet named Rohan has a fierce impression, but is mature and polite.

In between, I see cute corners and want to keep teasing him.

“Should I call you Yui? There are three people with the same last name.”

“Oh, Mom···?!”

Ichinose shouted as she picked up her chopsticks again, which she had almost dropped in surprise.

Momo continued to stare at Rohan, not her daughter. Rohan, who understood what she meant, corrected his words.

“···If Yui wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have been able to come back.”

When Rohan called her Yui, Aeng-Aenose lowered her head to hide her tomato-like face.

Momo continued talking with a sense of satisfaction.

“Really? My daughter says the same thing. Are you on good terms?”

“I think I became close with many people while attending the academy.”

Momo held back laughter at the sight of her husband raising his eyebrows.

I decided to listen to the real story.

“Rohan Cadet. Can you tell me a little bit about the dungeon? What kind of dungeon was it?”
