It’s the third day since I returned to the cabin.

“Today is another strong and powerful morning!”

I woke up to my teacher’s voice outside the door and opened my eyes.

“… Is it morning?”

Lately, it seems like the Master wants to recreate the old atmosphere of the cabin.

He starts his morning with the rather unusual phrase, “A strong and powerful morning,” which he has not said out loud for a long time.

Of course, he himself is more familiar with that kind of teacher.

In the past, from childhood until just before the relatively close descent.

The master got up with those words.

Rather, I was disappointed because he didn’t show that kind of reaction after I got off.

“Nameless! Are you still sleeping!”

“ happened.”

Pick smiled and stepped out of the room.

“Hmm! Did you sleep well?”

“Yes, I slept well.”

He bowed his head deeply and responded to the teacher’s greetings.

Of course, it was not an empty promise, it was actually true.

Since coming to the cabin, I’ve noticed that the quality of my sleep has improved significantly recently.

I don’t know the exact reason, but maybe it’s because I returned to a place that felt like home.

If not, it could be related to the feng shui that the teacher talked about.

Well, actually, it doesn’t really matter what the reason was.

As the Master always said, isn’t it enough to just feel good?

“Okay, then I’ll start the breakfast right away, so get ready and come.”

“Yes, Master.”

After cleansing my body, I followed my master up the cliff.

It was the beginning of work in the cabin.

* * *

After the various incidents at the Academy and the Palace, today is the third day since Nameless and I returned to the cabin.

“Nameless, is the food far away?”

As I caressed my soft lower abdomen and shouted, an anonymous voice was heard from far away.

“I’ll get it ready soon.”

“Okay.”

After giving a short answer, he fell back down on the floor with a thud.

“Um.”

It’s been three days since I returned, or in other words, three days since I’ve been stuck in the cabin and not moved an inch.

What have I been doing all this time?

surprisingly.

I didn’t do anything other than checking the condition of the anonymous body every night.

That means literally doing nothing.

… I didn’t know I could adapt this quickly.

Contrary to my thoughts that I might get bored, I have successfully adapted to living in a corner of a room.

It seems that humans are truly creatures of adaptation.

… I think my image might look a little weird.

Umm, let me make a little excuse.

I guess I can say that I don’t have anything to deal with.

They may have been bragging about how they would take charge of the Cheonmasingyo, but they also needed time to reorganize after raiding the palace.

The management of the Cheonmasingyo is after they have had enough rest.

And another thing I can do.

Hmm… Academy?

No, it’s not.

The professor’s work was certainly fun, but one experience was enough for him to be satisfied, and having one unknown student was enough.

So it’s not an academy.

The palace…?

“Use it, I don’t think this is right.”

How could I possibly visit the palace when the Heavenly Demon Sect has attacked it?

My plate isn’t that thick.

Then, a place where I can really go out of my comfortable room.

I kept mumbling as I recalled my narrow-minded interpersonal relationships.

Hmm, the only one that comes to mind right now is Ellen.

No, not right now, but it would be the same even if I thought about it for a few days, because other than Camilla, there is no one I can call a close friend.

“Umm… Camilla… .”

Well, someone like Camilla would be worth going to see in person.

You’re close friends, and when you spar with Camilla, don’t you both gain something from it?

It’s what is called a good sister-in-law-brother relationship.

I have fun sparring with Camilla,

Camilla gains insight through sparring with me.

This can be said to be a truly wonderful symbiotic relationship.

“Should we let Ellen go once…?”

I’m starting to feel like going to Ellen to hang out sometime.

but.

“Not now.”

Camilla is currently undergoing a closed-door retreat.

If I, who has a relatively high density of internal energy, went into that situation, it would only be a hindrance rather than a help to Camilla, who needs to concentrate.

So, going to Camilla is a no-no.

Of course, in the North, there was not only Camilla, but also Lucius and Elia… .

It doesn’t feel that friendly.

I don’t know what the warrior and the saint think of me, but it could be that I’m the only one who finds their relationship awkward.

Well, anyway.

What I’m saying is that it’s not worth going to them just to see their faces.

After briefly organizing his thoughts, he raised the corners of his mouth refreshingly.

“Okay, it’s decided.”

There is no better option than sitting still in a corner of the room.

Hmm, right.

So I am alone, convinced and thinking like that.

“Master.”

An anonymous man entered the room, holding a small table with various foods on it, and opened his mouth.

“The meal is ready.”

“Ohhh… .”

I’m excited even though I haven’t seen the food yet.

It smells good!

And I’m not bragging, but our anonymous cook is really good at making delicious food.

A woman who gets married later is blessed.

… Hmm, let’s not think about that.

So, with both eyes sparkling, he waited for Myeong-un to put down the table.

Suddenly, I saw a nameless person avoiding my gaze.

…no way.

I jumped up from my seat and looked at the food on the table.

It’s all green, green, white.

Wait… Purple? What is this?

I looked up at the nameless man with a vain expression.

“I’m starting to run out of food that I’ve stored up, so for the time being… .”

“That, that kind of… .”

My legs gave out and I collapsed to the floor.

There is no meat side dish… .

I don’t need to eat anyway, but I eat this to hang out with Myeong.

If there is no meat, what pleasure can there be in eating?

But at this age, I can’t just complain about the side dishes and refuse to eat.

He let out a deep sigh and tapped the floor.

“Let’s eat… .”

“… Yes, Master.”

The purple color was stir-fried eggplant.

* * *

A quiet dawn so quiet that you can clearly hear the sound of insects chirping.

I slowly opened my closed eyes and stepped out of the cabin.

Use your inner energy to draw a thin line.

I weave the drawn lines tightly like a spider web, gradually expanding my scope of control.

The goal is the entire mountain, or rather the entire mountain range.

“Use it.”

Why on earth would I do such an absurd thing?

Of course, it’s because I’m a coward.

The children of the Heavenly Demon Sect under me attacked the palace, and Myeong also joined in.

Of course… the intention was good, and it was an action that ended up being helpful.

The Empire and the Academy may have different ideas.

Well, they and we are strangers.

Thoughts cannot help but be different.

It may be a bit extreme, but it means that the Empire may come here with its army and the headmaster of the Academy himself.

and.

What would my friend Camilla think if she came out of the closet and saw this situation?

No, what will Lucius and Elia think right now?

Wouldn’t they immediately consider me and the anonymous people as enemies and launch a punitive expedition?

As I said, I know it’s a leap.

I also know that it is a terrible delusion that stems from my personality.

But… I’m anxious.

I am a coward, I am ignorant.

He was a bad guy who tried to avoid responsibility by making excuses about being lazy.

It’s time to change.

…but how? I don’t know.

“After… .”

I opened my closed eyes and let out a breath.

… It’s still okay.

There is no one coming to the mountain right now.

However, that does not mean that I have gathered up the strands that I had just spread out.

You never know when a raid might come.

I raised my head for a moment, looked at the high moon, and then stepped into the nameless room.

There’s still more work to be done.

-Squeak

There was no hesitation in opening the door, in case Anonymous was awake.

Of course, there is no mistaking it, since he has memorized the speed of the breath he exhales when he falls asleep and the frequency of his occasional tossing and turning.

Color- Color-

I released the nameless front quilt, exhaling evenly, and placed my hand on it.

Thump, thump, the heart beats at a steady rhythm.

The external appearance is normal.

After that, just like when covering the mountain range, I pour my internal energy straight into the nameless heart.

-…

Perhaps because I’ve fed it a lot over the past few days, it doesn’t show any signs of trying to eat away at its internal energy.

Still, it would be better to make sure.

I poured my internal energy from the nameless heart to the blood vessels and dantian, enriching the nameless internal energy.

“… Ugh.”

Because of that, the nameless one tossed and turned slightly, but the nameless one did not break to this extent.

Well… to be exact, although Anonymous is sensitive to even the smallest noises, he is insensitive to things related to me.

It must be trusting me on an instinctive level that goes beyond rational judgment.

Somehow I felt good about it and raised the corners of my mouth.

“Actually, I am a teacher… .”

After hearing the nameless snoring, his mouth once again formed a straight line.

… I didn’t hear anything.

I quietly got up from my seat and left the room.

That’s the end of the work at the cabin.
