Chapter Index

    The climbing schedule was completed successfully and it was now the weekend.

    It is a legitimate holiday that is clearly underlined in the law.

    As Siyoram cadets are also human, they mostly rest on weekends.

    Of course, there are cadets who go to supplementary lectures even on weekends due to various overlapping stories, or who act like cattle being dragged to the slaughterhouse by waves of assignments…

    Today I was in a position to go out.

    [Now, Seoyul flashes his arms!]

    “Flash!”

    [Right]

    Seoyul raises both arms in response to the signal.

    I smiled brightly at the energetic sight and changed into the clothes I had prepared for going out.

    This weekend, I decided to go outside with Seoyul.

    I haven’t been able to spend much time with Seoyul these days because I’ve been so busy running around outside.

    Thanks to this, every time I came to the dormitory, I had to face gazes dripping with disappointment.

    We decided to spend a day together on the weekend to relieve the sadness that was ruthlessly tearing at my conscience.

    Now that Seoyul has grown up, she is big enough to go outside with us.

    “Ta-da!”

    Seoyul once again raised her arms.

    Going out clothes are a neat sailor collar dress.

    The color is white to match the hair, and it is characterized by a V-shaped slit at the front and a square cloth that goes over the shoulders and back.

    I don’t know much about fashion, but this is a design commonly seen in naval livery.

    “Ta-da!”

    Seoyul stared at my face with her sparkling eyes. It’s a look that seems to blatantly expect something.

    [Ahaha]

    That made me smile automatically.

    I couldn’t bear it, and I had no intention of enduring it.

    Without suppressing the feeling that tickled my heart, I stretched out my arms and hugged Seoyul.

    [What can I do, Seoyul suits me so well!]

    “Ehehe.”

    Seoyul burst into bright laughter and came into my arms.

    Behind Seoyul, who was rubbing her head against my chest, her five-colored wings kept fluttering like a dog’s tail.

    ‘Those wings are so amazing.’

    There were no separate wing holes in the clothes.

    I found out the other day, fairy wings are not a particularly material element.

    It can take a material form… but it can also have a shimmering magical quality like now.

    Thanks to this, I was able to flutter around without damaging my clothes.

    That’s the fortunate part. Clothes with wing holes had to be recycled, but a good thing is a good thing.

    I also put on my clothes. A black cotton T-shirt and pants… a little outerwear on top…

    [Seoyul, have you prepared everything?]

    “Yes yes yes yes!“

    Seoyul pats her chest and nods her head confidently.

    [good job]

    As soon as he got to the front door, he couldn’t hide his excitement and anticipation and it was so cute to see him stomping his legs.

    ‘Maybe I should have walked around a long time ago…’

    I smiled bitterly inside.

    When I think about it again… it felt like I was always making excuses and saying that I didn’t have enough time.

    If I had worked a little harder, I might have been able to find some time to spend time with Seoyul.

    [Oh my, my hair is all messed up]

    He swept up his slightly disheveled hair to make it look presentable, and gently put on a white brimmed hat.

    Likewise, it is a pure white hat with a wide brim in matching colors, with a light blue band around it to emphasize its neat look.

    [mmmm]

    It matches well too. Seoyul, who was dyed pure white from head to toe, truly fit the description of a fairy.

    [Okay then, let’s go]

    I held Seoyul’s hand and walked out the front door.

    .

    .

    .

    Although I honestly said that I would walk around with Seoyul, I was not confident that I could lead Seoyul well.

    No matter how quickly Seoyul grew up, she was still just a big baby, and her guardian was a room-sitter with only a handful of experiences of going outside…

    To put it bluntly, I feel bad for leading Seoyul.

    But fortunately, there was reinforcements.

    A 10-story fountain stylishly built with pure white brick in the center of the commercial district.

    Baek A-rin was observed leaning against the wall of a nearby building and staring at a hologram.

    While taking a look outside with Seoyul, we also plan to purchase supplies to use in making equipment.

    They also planned to seek help from Baek A-rin in the process of making this equipment. So, when I announced that I was planning to get supplies today, Baek A-rin expressed her intention to go with me first.

    Since I was out with Seoyul, it would be nice if other people were there too… but everyone was busy.

    Hong Yeon-hwa and Elia said they had separate things to do.

    Professor Liana must be deep in the tower’s records and fretting about it by now… and Master…

    ‘……’

    He’s been strangely avoiding me since last time.

    He didn’t cry and cling to me, asking why he was avoiding me.

    Then, the excitement subsided and I realized that I had done something embarrassing…

    Honestly, I thought it was a good thing that it ended on an awkward level.

    I was so anxious that things would continue to get awkward like this… but I stayed quiet because I had faith in my teacher and because I couldn’t show off like that in front of Seoyul.

    Anyway, for that reason, I decided to get Baek A-rin’s help in preparing supplies for Seoyul’s outing and equipment production.

    [Baek Arin]

    He waved his arms and approached Baek A-rin.

    Then Baek Arin, who was staring at the hologram, turned her head this way.

    “?”

    [Sorry for being late]

    “…Ah, it’s Hayul. Are you here?”

    She blinked and looked alternately at me and Seoyul, who followed me while holding my hand.

    Baek A-rin, who had been tilting her head for a moment, suddenly exclaimed and then responded with a strange expression.

    Seeing Baek Arin like that made me tilt my head.

    [Why are you doing that? [If there is any problem…]

    “No, it’s not a problem.”

    Baek Arin shrugged her shoulders and raised one hand.

    On her slender index finger was a ring that had never been seen before.

    It was a ring with a bright green gem embedded in a silver body.

    “Awareness Impairment I was clearly wearing a ring, but I was just surprised that someone suddenly recognized me.”

    ‘ah.’

    What was engraved on the jewel was a recognition-impairing spell. It is still manifesting itself at this very moment.

    Only then did I understand why Baek Arin reacted that way.

    They must have been surprised that they found me right away, even though they hadn’t registered any exceptions yet.

    “Did you find that too with your detection ability?”

    Baek A-rin, who soon erased her strange expression, asked with sparkling eyes.

    [Yes, thanks to the sensing ability]

    “… How detailed does the detection ability have to be to overcome cognitive impairment?”

    [Ahaha…]

    Baek A-rin let out a quiet exclamation. The eyes were wide open, not an exaggeration, but as if they were genuinely surprised.

    I smiled awkwardly and scratched my head.

    ‘I made a mistake. I’ll have to be more careful next time.’

    The power of observation penetrates perception-impairing magic and recognizes reality. It was the same in my spatial perception days, and I was so used to that kind of information.

    Also, without having to use observation in the first place, they could be distinguished just by detecting magic power.

    “Then you must have a good sense of my outfit.”

    When I was reflecting for a moment.

    Baek A-rin raised the corners of her mouth with a smirk, lifted her back from the wall, spread her shoulders wide, and asked.

    To that question, I looked at Baek A-rin again.

    Baek Arin was wearing light civilian clothes.

    Common sweatpants with pure white stripes on a black background.

    The top was a black sleeveless top with a windbreaker over it, and the zipper was fastened all the way.

    In addition, he had a mask pulled down to his chin and a baseball cap pulled down on his head.

    Unusually, today, he was dressed in black from head to toe.

    “How about it? It’s a bit light, but the color and brand match, so isn’t it okay?”

    [yes]

    [You look great together]

    Although it was a common and light outfit, the hangers were so deceptive that it gave the illusion that it looked more luxurious.

    To begin with, isn’t Baek Arin a beauty who turns them into dried squids even among actors, celebrities, and models who are immediately famous for their looks?

    The perfection of fashion is the face, and honestly, if you have a body and face the size of Baek Arin, I think you’ll look stylish even if you’re covered in straw.

    Also, as Baek A-rin said, thanks to its own uniformity, there was no impression that it was a middle-aged room at all.

    “Heung, thank you.”

    Baek A-rin giggled as if she was satisfied with the answer.

    – Kwauk… Kuk…

    “……”

    [huh? Seoyul? What’s wrong?]

    It was then.

    Seoyul pulled on his right sleeve.

    In the end, isn’t his cheeks puffing out a little? Feeling embarrassed by the blatant display of dissatisfaction, I comforted Seoyul.

    “This is Seoyul, right? I haven’t registered an exception yet, so I look like a different person.”

    [Oh, wait a minute]

    Seoyul and I were also wearing cognitive impairment magic tools. I am in the form of a necklace, and Seoyul is in the form of a bracelet.

    Perception Impairment magic is a very high-level magic on its own, but if you put more effort into it, you can add many options.

    Exception registration is one of the additional functions and is a function that excludes specific subjects from the scope of cognitive impairment.

    After a while, exception registration was completed.

    In the power of observation, a kind of force field that thinly covered the three of us changed.

    “Wow, Seoyul is also well-dressed. Ahaha, look at the big hat.”

    Only then did Baek Arin seem to see Seoyul.

    She bent her knees and was at eye level with Seoyul.

    “Hello? Do you remember the last time you met your sister? They even gave me candy.”

    “…Yes, I remember.”

    “Oh, that’s a relief. Did you enjoy the candy?”

    “…No, it wasn’t good.”

    “Ex.”

    Seoyul answered clearly in a voice mixed with awkwardness, wariness, and ambiguity, and then latched onto my leg like a cicada.

    Oh my gosh, it’s so cute.

    Without realizing it, I reached out my hand and patted her head over the hat, and Seoyul’s stiff face, little by little, melted, knowingly or not.

    “Ahaha. Is it still a little awkward?”

    Baek A-rin, who burst into laughter at the sight of Seoyul like that, stood up.

    The legs I was squatting on stretched out, and at that moment, a long new figure suddenly shot up right in front of my nose.

    For a moment, I trembled at the lump of flesh that passed in front of my nose.

    “No, Mr. Hayul, why are you surprised?”

    [yes?]

    [I wasn’t surprised]

    – rattle

    “Hmm…? This time, I will give you something special. Should we walk first?”

    [Yes, I like it]

    Baek A-rin, who had said that much, shook her head, then naturally stretched out her hand and grabbed my left hand.

    The one on the left is proof of protection… It’s the hard prosthetic arm.

    Even though she was wearing an arm sleeve, it didn’t feel that good, but Baek A-rin led me in a casual manner as if she didn’t care at all.

    “It’s a bit early in the morning, have you eaten yet?”

    [No, I just fed Seoyul lightly and left.]

    “I also didn’t eat it. Then, Seoyul shows us around the area, and then we fill our bellies and leave. Oh, do you remember the rice cake shop I told you about last time?”

    [Rice cake house…?]

    [Oh, yes, I remember]

    “Yes, yes, it was unfortunately closed last time, but it reopened recently. Shall we go there?”

    [I like it]

    On the left is Baek Arin, on the right is Seoyul…

    Standing side by side like this, the sight was very unique in many ways.

    Baek Arin, the tallest, is dressed in black and has blue hair.

    Meanwhile, I was wearing black clothes and white hair.

    Seoyul, the shortest, wears a white outfit and has white hair.

    I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw it getting smaller from left to right.

    “……”

    – Ugh…

    For some reason, Seoyul became pouty again and squeezed the hands they were holding together.
