At first, I just wanted to scold him a little.

It’s not that he doesn’t, he just doesn’t respect his own body.

Last time we met under the pretext of training together, I took a quick look from the side and it was quite impressive.

He rolls his body around randomly as if it were made of clay.

Even if it is broken, it will recover anyway, and even if it is torn, it will grow again, and they abuse it mercilessly.

I do this without even sleeping. Unless someone, including Hong Yeon-hwa, held him in his arms and let him sleep, he wouldn’t fall asleep for days.

Even though people around him looked at him with admiration and pecked at him, he just looked sullen and noticed and his behavior didn’t change.

An obedient child who listens to most things, but becomes stubborn in these areas.

I couldn’t understand the way he was abusing his body as if he was being chased by something, as if he would die if he didn’t do this right away.

Of course, since he is a child with so many secrets, there must be circumstances… If you look at it from the surroundings, it looks extremely dangerous.

So, whether it was Hong Yeon-hwa or Elia, if Lee Ha-yul came to the dormitory, they would go crazy and make an agreement to send Lee Seo-yul to sleep together.

‘I’m really crazy… ‘

Lee Ha-yul seems to think that his body is a mechanical device that just needs to be replaced with some parts or a new one.

No, looking at the prosthetic hand he wears on his arm, I think it’s right to think that way.

In fact, Hong Yeon-hwa wanted to get rid of that prosthetic hand right away. Right now, not only Hong Yeon-hwa, but most of the people around her think that way.

I was dissatisfied with the hard prosthetic arm that was taking up the place where my white and beautiful arm should be.

I wanted to immediately remove that prosthetic arm and regenerate the arm by giving Lee Ha-yul a lot of elixir…

Top-tier artifact? A precious object that even has senses and circuits connected to it? A treasure with built-in unique abilities? Beautiful exterior?

… What about that?

Hong Yeon-hwa wanted to touch Lee Ha-yul’s natural skin rather than those top-class artifacts…

I endured it. As soon as he saw the prosthetic hand, he rushed to try to remove it, but Lee Ha-yul’s fierce resistance made it useless.

I was really tempted to just crush him for a few days, make a fool out of him, and then force him to take it off… I barely held back.

Even now, my heart burns every time I see that prosthetic hand. My heart ached every time I touched hard metal instead of my white, soft hands.

As time passes, the possibility of arm regeneration becomes less and less likely.

While I was holding it in, my remaining arm was cut off during an ordinary lecture?

You were experimenting with magic on your own and your arm split vertically?

That alone makes me foam at the mouth, but if Lee Ha-yul picks up a prosthetic hand from somewhere else and holds it out as his right arm… Hong Yeon-hwa might faint on the spot.

“Should I cut off my arm as an experiment? Then will Hayul understand my feelings?”

So I got scolded just a little. He said something mischievous, telling people to realize their bad habit of treating their bodies like clay.

It’s a reverse limb, it’s asking you to think about the situation in reverse, if Hong Yeon-hwa had her arm cut off and walking around with a prosthetic hand, would you feel at ease? Wouldn’t you be heartbroken?

“I’m sorry… ! Yeonhwa shouldn’t be sick… !”

But the moment he said that, Lee Ha-yul’s mood suddenly changed.

Lee Ha-yul, who was already watching like a puppy getting wet in the rain, has been clinging desperately ever since Hong Yeon-hwa’s remarks.

“I did everything wrong… Kek, kek! Wow… ! Please don’t say that… ”

“No, I’m not really saying you’re being selected. Wait a minute! okay! I said it wrong! Ooh, don’t cry… ”

It looks so desperate that Hong Yeon-hwa looks like she’s going to rip out her arm at any moment.

The child, who had stopped being embarrassed and sullen even while his arm was cut off, cries out and cries out.

In response, not only Hong Yeon-hwa, but even those who had stayed quiet, saying that she really needed to be scolded this time, came up in a huff and had to be comforted.

“Don’t get sick… I was wrong… ”

“Okay, sorry for saying something weird. I will never do that. So, let’s do it?”

Hong Yeon-hwa, who was in the midst of comforting Lee Ha-yul, suddenly felt eyes on her.

“Hayul? Yeonhwa probably didn’t mean what she said… no. Yes… maybe?”

“Yeonhwa was so mischievous in this. Why are you saying that to your child?”

“Cadet Yeonhwa Hong… she spoke too harshly.”

“Horse speaking habits eventually led to anger.”

As I slowly raised my head, I was able to face the women who were comforting Lee Ha-yul together and looking at me with very lukewarm eyes.

‘No, why are you just talking to me while you guys stay quiet?’

He raised his eyebrows as if he was blaming me and asked me why I did that.

No, they gathered together in advance and insisted that they should really be scolded this time, so why are they now raising their eyebrows like that?

It seems like they are trying to preserve their favorability by blaming Hong Yeon-hwa on a topic they all plotted together.

“Don’t bother Dad!”

“… Hmm.”

Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been scanning the surroundings with a murderous gaze, secretly turned her head to see Lee Seo-yul’s pointed gaze patting Lee Ha-yul’s back.

I felt a strange feeling as the father and daughter seemed to have switched positions, but the adopted daughter was already of such low stature? I couldn’t lower my adopted daughter’s favorability any further…

“…Anyway, I’m sorry for saying bad things, Hayul. But just like Hayul is so sad right now, I also feel really sad every time you get hurt…”

In any case, the situation had to be resolved.

I hugged Lee Ha-yul, who had stopped crying, and rubbed my cheek against her pure white hair.

“Yes… I’m sorry.”

“Yes. I’m sorry too. So, Hayul, from now on, don’t treat your body carelessly, even if it means thinking about other people.”

“Yes… Well, I’ll be careful…”

“Yes, you are nice.”

Hong Yeon-hwa smiled warmly at the sight of Lee Ha-yul responding obediently while sobbing after crying a lot.

Afterwards, he lovingly kissed the sweet-smelling hair.

“……”

“Heung.”

I didn’t care about the harsh stares I felt in front of me. What are they going to do?

“Sniff… Yeonhwa, we are moving.”

“Yes, yes, I moved… Let’s move?”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s expression of affection continued until the sudden announcement of moving.

In front of Hong Yeon-hwa, who was blinking blankly, Lee Ha-yul gently waved the key he had taken out of his pocket.

* * *

Moving is inherently a very, very complicated thing.

It is about changing one’s lifestyle, which is one of the three elements necessary for human life.

You need to make a very careful decision because if you make a wrong decision once, you may suffer for years to come.

Among such cumbersome processes, organizing moving belongings is considered a particularly cumbersome process.

There is a lot of baggage that comes from people’s homes.

You have to sort them one by one, pack the luggage you want to take with you, and collect and dispose of the luggage you need to throw away.

In addition, heavy and large furniture or valuables that have a high risk of damage during transportation must be handled with particular care.

In addition, miscellaneous luggage is piled up in boxes, so it takes a lot of energy to move it all.

I also didn’t have very good memories of moving.

‘I really had a hard time back then… ‘

After being named on the news for getting hit by a car.

I was really sick of people barging into that tiny gosiwon because they were so curious about something.

It drives me crazy, but I wonder how annoyed the people living in the same building must have been. One of the residents was on the news, so their building was crowded with people like bees for more than a few days.

More than just being annoyed, I felt like I was going crazy over the fact that I was causing trouble to others.

So in the end, I had to move to avoid that… It was really very cumbersome and difficult to prepare to move without even a leg.

But that’s a story from a previous world.

This is the situation of Lee Ha-yul, who was weak and had no legs.

The situation of Lee Ha-yul, who can easily lift and throw a car and is very talented, is completely different.

– Guuung…

A hole opened in the air. The flow of air around the hole changes with a strange vibration. The hole moved with a light gesture.

Not only the air that overlapped the trajectory, but also the accumulated baggage was swallowed up into the hole. Soon, only a dust-free floor remained where the hole had passed.

He gestured a few more times. The hole moved around the dormitory and ate up the moving items.

It devours the entire furniture containing clothes or luggage, as well as any separately placed luggage.

Other miscellaneous baggage was caught with the wings of the sky and placed in the hole.

Although it appears to be a light and thin fabric, it is an artifact that can cut through chunks of metal like tofu with enough strength.

A clean and quick process without any noise or dust.

Ready to move? As long as you have the power of space, there is no problem.

All you have to do is stuff your luggage into a subspace. There is no damage, no effort is required and it is quick.

‘The power of space is god, and subspace is invincible… ‘

This is power.

A satisfied smile naturally appeared.

“You deploy that spatial magic with such precision… It’s amazing!”

As I was gradually feeding my luggage into the subspace, Baek A-rin, standing behind me, opened her eyes round. A hole where blue eyes are swallowing the burden… I stared into subspace.

“I can’t even feel the magic even though it’s happening right in front of me.”

“That’s right. Plus, the bed, the refrigerator, the furniture… Everything big goes in.”

“The size can be expanded freely, and the capacity is enormous… There are only a handful of people who can use spatial magic like this… ”

‘… … ‘

I managed my facial expressions at the reactions of Baek Arin and Elia, who were snooping around the subspace and shedding their admiration.

You don’t feel the magic? The capacity or size is absurd?

‘Well, this isn’t magic, it’s power… ‘

The power of space. The more you get used to it, the more you can do.

At first it was the recognition of space, then subspace, exercise of dominance, isolation of space through walls of space, application of attraction and repulsion…

No matter what, it has to do with the scope and depth of what it can handle rather than magic.

Of course, unlike magic, it is not an original power, so if the power is taken away, you will be powerless…

‘… ‘Can’t I use it?’

I tilted my head as a thought suddenly occurred to me. Now, the basic level of manifestation is the use of power, which is as possible as breathing. I got used to the feel and how to use it. Is this something that can’t be imitated?

Although it is an ability of another entity, not mine, strictly speaking, it can be dismissed as TOP’s unique ability.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible to imitate it? ?

“Did you say you learned space magic from the vice president?”

[Ah yes]

[The Vice President taught me separately]

In response to Hong Yeon-hwa’s question that pierced through my thoughts, I spit out an excuse I had thought of in advance.

This is the excuse I made to Jiyeon Lee before.

The power of space and space magic. Since others can’t tell him apart, it’s a perfect excuse.

“… Meeting separately?”

[yes yes… Why are you doing that?]

“… No, it’s nothing.”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s expression became strange somewhere. When I tilted my head and asked why, Hong Yeon-hwa shook her head and said it was nothing.

[Baek Arin, shall we leave your luggage separately?]

Now that I think about it, there is no need for Baek Arin to live with me anymore. Now that my fear has stabilized,

Baek Arin will also return. When I asked with a strange sense of regret, Baek A-rin tilted her head.

“Oh, is there not enough capacity?”

[No, the capacity doesn’t matter. But it’s a bit too much to put it carelessly… ]

“Then please put it together. I have to remove all my luggage, but it’s a hassle to leave all my belongings in one place and pack them separately later, right?”

[Is that still okay?]

“Yes, yes, it’s okay. I’ll handle it later. And what’s the problem?”

Baek Arin smiled brightly. I nodded to him and swallowed the luggage in Baek A-rin’s room(?) into subspace.

“Please take care of your underwear. Don’t spill a few in the middle.”

[?!]

“Stop talking bullshit… ! Get out now!”

Hong Yeon-hwa shouted and kicked out Baek A-rin.

“Wow, he pushes me too hard… ”

Baek Arin, rubbing her pushed back, pouted her lips and grumbled.

“Oh, and.”

As she was putting on her shoes at the entrance, she suddenly turned to me with a strange smile.

“Then, see you tomorrow?”

[…] ?]

[Yes, see you tomorrow]

Since tomorrow is a weekday, I will see you during class.

It will be a busy day as we have to move.

With that in mind, I nodded.
