Poetry Yoram came in after completing his training.

The Siyoram Gate Terminal was crowded with people.

“Look at how many people there are. If the building was small, I wouldn’t have been able to come in.”

On the way out after completing the formalities. Hong Yeon-hwa made a tired face as she looked inside, where the crowd was still crowded.

“It’s not just us, everyone comes back today or tomorrow.”

Baek A-rin, who followed along next to him, shrugged her shoulders, saying it was nothing strange.

“Once the semester starts, it’s hard to spend time outside for a long time, right? There must be a lot of kids coming back after staying outside for a long time.”

It’s not that there are no cadets in the city cradle during vacation, but many of them go outside during the semester because it is difficult to spend a long time outside.

Hong Yeon-hwa completed the formalities and left the crowded building.

Only then did the blue sky and floating white cotton-ball-like clouds unfold.

“Fuhu…”

As I took a deep breath, a rush of fresh air rushed in.

Although this was not the outskirts of the island, the salty smell of the sea occasionally touched my nose.

It’s not a scent I particularly like, but I’m actually glad for it now.

Chinese land.

It’s not the devil’s land, but it’s not normal land either.

The dungeon is so overcrowded that there are many areas where barriers have been torn down and assimilated into this world.

Above all, there were many places where the poison of the two-headed poisonous dragon had seeped deep into the area, giving off a foul odor.

It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t bear it, but it was enough to make me feel dirty.

Then, seeing this view and feeling, I felt quite good.

After changing her mood for just a moment, Hong Yeon-hwa continued to walk.

“Ariel, go and put your luggage in the dormitory.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The back of Hong Yeon-hwa, who is trotting along. Ariel, who had been following steadily like a shadow, lowered her head.

Ariel was also with us on this trip to China.

In a way, it was natural.

Ariel is a hunter who was once a top-level hunter.

As he had a knack for tracking, he went with him to find the missing Lee Ha-yul.

But fortunately, Lee Ha-yul was rescued quickly and is staying at the city cradle.

It is still a hot topic about him.

A two-headed poisonous dragon who almost recreates a nightmare from the past, and Lee Ha-yul, who cuts off the nightmare’s head before the damage can increase.

Attention and fame followed, and suspicion followed the news that Lee Ha-yul, who had also been embroiled in Shipnaha, was caught up in the incident again… but everyone put their heads in the direction of the association’s sword.

“But it’s a pity.”

“What?”

“I also wanted to see you in person when you were younger.”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes twitched.

“This is truly amazing news. Degeneration of the body. I’ve never heard of such a case… Is this a branch of the transformation?”

“…Is this the only opportunity? I can see you later.”

“I see. This is indeed a great answer.”

Ariel clapped her hands with an expressionless face.

“My desires are at a level that I can tolerate. I will suppress this desire and promise the next time, so I hope you, young lady, will quickly resolve your desire.”

“Hey, what you’re saying is a bit strange?”

“Gasp. Sorry.”

Ariel responded in a strange tone, then quietly gathered her luggage and parted ways.

It was truly shameless.

Hong Yeon-hwa shook her head as if it were absurd, but didn’t say anything more.

With Lee Ha-yul’s whereabouts missing, Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes rolled back and she could not see her surroundings.

People around him criticized him in many ways, but isn’t Ariel the one who turned it around?

If you think about it, it was Hong Yeon-hwa’s karma.

.

.

.

After quickening our pace, we almost arrived at our destination.

The destination was Lee Ha-yul’s dormitory.

– This applies outside of protection, right? I’m confused because the growth values are vague.

– If it is a vague achievement even after receiving God’s protection, it is surprising…

– 개새끼야.

It was like that outside, but there were also people in the dormitory… To be more precise, there were many cadets who had returned to the city cradle.

The lobby was full of people and the path was complicated, but when Hong Yeonhwa entered the entrance, the path cleared up by itself.

These days, Lee Ha-yul’s often promiscuous appearance has calmed down a bit, but the violent rumors surrounding Hong Yeon-hwa still persist.

I got into the elevator and pressed the floor number.

Soon the door closed and I felt floating.

Hong Yeon-hwa glared at the numbers on the top of the door.

2, 3, 4…

The speed was quite slow. Is there something wrong with the elevator?

“Heungheungheung…”

While she was crossing her arms and cracking her fingers out of urgency, a strange sound flowed into Hong Yeon-hwa’s ears.

The tip of Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes twitched.

Strange sound. It wasn’t new. It’s a sound I’ve been hearing ever since.

“…What was it from earlier?”

“Huh? What?”

Hong Yeon-hwa turned her head and looked at Baek A-rin.

Baek Arin, who had been humming with her back to her, tilted her head slyly and asked back.

Baek A-rin was also invited by Lee Ha-yul. It looks like he’s trying to tell us a secret, such as the existence of Lee Seo-yul.

I had to understand. Lee Seo-yul’s existence cannot be kept a secret, so he wants to let people around him know.

But what I’m dissatisfied with is… is it that I learned the secret around the same time as Hong Yeon-hwa?

“You seem to be in a good mood? Is something good happening?”

“Ugh… specifically? I’m in good condition today~”

In particular, it’s damn good. Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes narrowed.

Baek Arin usually pretends to be refreshing, but something was different now.

According to the feeling I had accumulated over a long period of time, Baek Ah-rin seemed to be in a really good mood, which was very unusual.

As I was feeling puzzled, the door opened.

Hong Yeon-hwa crossed the long hallway, soothing her aching heart.

Finally we reached the door.

The name plate has three characters written on it: Lee Ha-yul.

‘Write…’

Hong Yeon-hwa closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.

Although I was mentally prepared, I wasn’t sure how I would act when I went in.

I was angry. I was shooting outside on my own, and almost ended up dying on my own. The heat spread like fire. I didn’t know if he would immediately hold me in his arms and scold me.

It is expected? Being younger. I heard the news, but didn’t see it in person. Elia asked if I would send him a photo, but I declined because I wanted to see it in person.

Now, beyond the door is Lee Ha-yul.

– gulp

Hong Yeon-hwa swallowed once and opened the door.

I can see the entrance.

Several shoes are neatly placed in the shoe rack.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyebrows rose.

There were many things that belonged to women, not Lee Ha-yul’s. I heard about it beforehand, but I felt a little bad.

That feeling gradually subsided as the scent drifted in.

A familiar smell… Lee Ha-yul’s unique honey-like sweet scent.

Is it because this is where Lee Ha-yul stays? The scent was particularly… very strong.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyebrows sank.

“What are you doing?”

At the urging of Baek A-rin, who poked my back, I took off my shoes and entered the living room inside.

There were quite a few people in the living room.

Elia Threid, Lyanna Bellus, Atra Clyde…

and…

Hong Yeon-hwa gasped when she saw Lee Ha-yul sitting on the living room floor.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s trembling eyes looked at Lee Ha-yul.

Pure white hair that is so clean that you want to dye it your own color right away.

A mood that exudes a mysterious and dreamy atmosphere.

In addition, the skin has become twice as fine and white as before…

‘uh.’

For a moment, Hong Yeon-hwa’s thoughts stopped.

The right arm has become beautiful and white… the scar has disappeared.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes opened wide.

“Yeonhwa?”

A question came from behind me. The reaction given earlier. The prosthetic arm of my left arm came back with me wearing it as I wanted.

I didn’t care now. All of Hong Yeon-hwa’s attention was focused on Lee Ha-yul and his right arm.

It is difficult to erase the scars of Gyeophwa. Thanks to this, Gyeophwa’s scar is even called a trace or a stigma.

Lee Ha-yul’s right arm, which was heavily engraved with the stigma of evil spirits, had smooth, pure white skin.

I tried to erase the scar, but it didn’t work.

I secretly gave him self-healing medicine, but there was no improvement in the scar.

I put Lee Ha-yul to sleep and applied scar removal ointment, but it was ineffective.

After visiting the Gyeophwa family, I openly applied the medicine myself, but it was heartbreaking because there was no apparent effect.

Those scars are now completely gone.

A ripple occurred in Hong Yeon-hwa’s heart.

As I got closer, I could feel Lee Ha-yul’s younger physique.

It was very small… and cozy. It was of a size that was comfortable to carry around in one’s arms.

I had an impulse.

I was tempted to scold him, but I decided to put it off for now.

Hong Yeon-hwa stretched out her hand in a daze.

– mate!

“Huh?”

It was shot down by a small hand that flew in from the side.

Hong Yeon-hwa blinked.

My mind, which had been foggy and foggy, returned.

My narrowed field of vision returned to its original state.

Only then did he notice a girl who was standing next to Lee Ha-yul and looking wary at him.

It was a child with a similar appearance to Lee Ha-yul.

His hair was similarly white, and his body was slightly larger than Lee Ha-yul’s.

The difference is that the hair is not pure white, but glows with five colors.

Also, unlike the gentle Lee Ha-yul, her eyes were quite sharp.

It gives the impression that he has some personality.

Above all, the beautiful five-colored wings on his back.

‘ah.’

Seoyul Lee.

A fairy born from an egg obtained from the Tower of Growth, and a child who follows Lee Ha-yul like a parent.

The child Lee Ha-yul said she was raising with great attention.

“Don’t bother Dad!”

– Clink!

A clear sound rang out as if a musical instrument was being struck.

Lee Seo-yul shouted, raised the corners of his eyes and hugged Lee Ha-yul next to him.

In the end, it spreads its wings wide and completely surrounds Lee Ha-yul.

It is as if he is protecting Lee Ha-yul from danger.

The problem is that it seems like the danger is Hong Yeon-hwa.

Hong Yeon-hwa was dumbfounded.

[Seo, Seoyul]

[then no…]

[sorry]

[I guess Seoyul was mistaken]

[really sorry…]

For some reason, Lee Ha-yul, who had been frozen, was startled, and while looking at Hong Yeon-hwa’s notice, she stopped Lee Seo-yul.

It was quite a touching scene to see him act to protect his daughter even though he was very stiff and discouraged.

“No, that… I didn’t do anything…?”

But Hong Yeon-hwa was just dumbfounded.

I just tried to reach out and pick it up, but all of a sudden I ended up looking like a piece of trash that threatened my family.

“Wow, trash.”

“……”

For some reason, the teasing from Baek A-rin, who was standing behind me, stuck deep in my heart.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes trembled.
