Normally, it would have taken several days to organize the moving items, but by mobilizing the power of space, it was completed in less than an hour.

Moving in the previous world was so difficult even though I had no luggage to take care of.

This time, I had a lot of luggage to pack, but thanks to the sub-space, I didn’t feel tired.

[complicacy]

[Resentment]

But my heart was strangely heavy.

He snapped his fingers with a complicated expression. The hole moved according to the gesture, and the luggage disappeared one by one.

The basic furniture that was placed in the dormitory from the beginning disappears.

I didn’t think much of it. At the beginning of the semester, I didn’t come into the dormitory much.

There were many times when I just fell asleep with my head on the library desk or fell asleep on the floor of the training room.

I was planning on leaving the furniture as it was my cradle, but I quickly took it when I heard that it would be replaced when the next cadet uses it anyway.

Seoyul is born from the egg of origin, and the supplies brought in hastily disappear. Entering the dull dormitory, the brightness was erased.

From then on, I stayed in the dormitory. From the beginning, at this point, it was possible to browse the library remotely. So, I always stayed by Seoyul’s side and studied…

For some reason, my chest felt heavy, as if a rock had been placed on it. Then he waved his hand.

I take the pillows that Elia brought, saying that she likes to cuddle and sleep, and I also take the incense burner that Hong Yeon-hwa brought in, not knowing that my sense of smell is half-dead.

Baek A-rin’s recent living supplies, clothes, and large black underwear…

‘Gyaah … !’

My shoulders trembled at the information coming into my head. How could it be better than my head… No, this isn’t the fuck. Stop being scared…

I accepted it inadvertently and without filtering. I wiped my feverish face. I even packed my luggage.

It’s because Baek A-rin said something pointless. In any case, it’s probably Baek Arin’s fault.

– Ugh…

And this is the last load.

The hole that swallowed the blue box soon contracted. In the end, the hole disappears with a strange vibration of space.

[regret]

The dormitory with all my luggage felt deserted for no reason.

[bitterness]

It was extremely awkward because the space where something should have been was empty.

[Disappointed]

I pressed my feet against the bare floor exposed by the disappearance of the carpet and pondered the strange feeling.

It’s such a complex feeling that I can’t put it into words. But the confession necklace expressed my feelings in a few words.

In my experience, it felt like it was just yesterday that I first entered the dormitory.

The memories of that time are still vivid.

I tried to play a game, but I got chills, fell asleep early, and woke up in the game world the next day… I couldn’t help but regain consciousness.

At the same time, my head exploded due to an overload of power and I almost died, and a few days later, as soon as I regained consciousness, I almost died of starvation and thirst.

When I finally came to my senses, I couldn’t see or speak. No matter what you pick up and eat, there is no taste or smell. I guess it was a life that would have been limited.

Moreover, it is a world within a game. A world where disaster events will occur, and a world where monsters called tower owners may invade in the future.

In the meantime, he couldn’t just hang himself or jump to death, so he came in as if he was running away… and…

“Time flies so fast. It seems like it was just yesterday that I came in and bought it… ”

As I was tracing the past, Elia muttered from behind me.

Elia, who was quietly watching the luggage disappear, approached me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

Then he placed his chin on the top of my head and openly expressed his regret.

After pursing his lips, he quietly took Elia’s hand on his shoulder and asked.

[…] Is it okay if Elia moves in with me?]

“Gasp! Seoyul must have grown up quite a bit now, so you don’t need me?”

[no!]

[It’s not like that!]

[I just thought it would be too inconvenient and cause trouble… ]

“Ah, of course I meant it as a joke. I know best that Hayul is not that kind of person.”

– Buuuk…

I pouted my lips at Elia’s mischievous answer.

You’re making fun of someone’s words because they’re a little worried…

Lately, I’ve been getting frustrated because people around me can’t make fun of me.

My heartache suddenly rose. I twisted my body to free the arm from my shoulder.

“Ahh, I’m sorry for teasing you.”

Elia, who continued speaking, turned my body the other way with his strangely skilled hands and hugged me tightly in his arms.

My face was buried in a huge lump of flesh. Although the body scent did not come up, the warm body temperature trapped in my arms was conveyed.

Then he rested his chin on my head and gently patted my back as if comforting a child.

[profit… ]

The heartache that had been leaking out suddenly subsided due to the soft and warm warmth. I wanted to complain, but I didn’t want to. I just wanted to hold him in my arms and make a fool of myself.

Professor Eliana Liana in particular had this impulse.

Perhaps it was because of their spirit affinity, but it seemed as if no matter what mischievous prank I played on them, they would smile kindly and embrace me.

– Ugh…

After waving both arms for a moment, he hugged Elia’s waist.

“Hayul’s reaction was so cute that I pranked him without thinking. I’m really sorry.”

[…] are you okay]

[I’m not very angry]

“Thank you for accepting my apology.”

Elia giggled, lowered her head, and rubbed her cheek against my hair.

“Hayul is also very disappointing, right? We made a lot of memories together here.”

[regret]

[memory]

“Yes, memories. It wasn’t a very long time, but… Still, I experienced a lot of happy things.”

I suddenly blinked at Elia’s words about memories.

At first glance, I realized the reason for the strange feeling of discomfort.

Then, the tingling sensation that seemed to be pressing on one side of my chest disappeared.

Instead, I felt a part of my heart warmed by the somewhat blatant expression of affection.

‘because of this… ?’

I secretly observed Elia.

She was looking down at me with a smile on her face as if she was so happy.

That benevolent smile solidified my doubts into certainty.

Did he see my complex expression and deliberately play a practical joke on me to lighten my mood?

‘… … ‘

So, does that mean I complained like a child even after receiving such consideration?

My face heated up with embarrassment. At the same time, a warm feeling filled my chest.

The wings of the sky fluttered.

My body itched. After pursing her lips, she pulled the arm around her waist and buried her face deep into her voluptuous chest.

[I was happy to be with Elia too… ]

– Click!

“Oh my… ”

Elia’s eyes widened at the necklace’s voice.

“Huh, cute.”

I didn’t say anything else. All he did was give me his arms and caress me with gentle hands.

“Can I go to this address after today’s lecture?”

[Yes, let’s go together after finishing the lecture.]

“Yes, yes, then let’s go with Yeonhwa and Seoyul after the lecture.”

For a while, I let go of my awkward feelings in Elia’s warm embrace.

[Sense of stability]

– Click!

[?mind]

“Huh? Question mark, what is it?”

[…] ?]

[well?]

In the middle, the confession necklace made a strange sound.

These days, the condition of the confession necklace is really bad.

Even after observing, there are no problems internally or externally. But I felt a strange sense of heterogeneity.

It’s not broken… It feels like something is changing in function.

Elia and I tilted our heads side by side.

.

.

.

First of all, Elia, Hong Yeon-hwa and I, who finished the lecture first, headed to our new home first.

For your information, Baek A-rin, Master, and Professor Liana are also coming to help with today’s moving.

Thanks to the space, packing will be done quickly, so it’s actually more of a housewarming congratulation than a help.

So, I prepared plenty of food ingredients in advance. I had to finish packing up and prepare food quickly.

“Wow… ”

Elia’s reaction upon arriving at her new residence was quite intense.

An unconscious level of admiration flows out of the mouth that opens in a daze.

A part of my new home was captured in my bleak yellow eyes.

Seoyul, who was held in Elia’s arms, was equally surprised. The sight of him always sulking somewhere and rolling his eyes frantically was so cute.

“Mansion… Is it?”

“… I think it’s more appropriate to use a castle rather than a mansion… ”

Hong Yeon-hwa, standing next to him, trembled and muttered.

It wasn’t like she was astonished and opened her mouth, but Hong Yeon-hwa was just as surprised.

“No, did you give this entire building to me?”

[Yes, I guess so]

I, who came to meet him next to him, had the same expression on my face.

At least the situation was better than others.

This is because I already received the address along with the key and observed this place a few days ago.

I was really surprised at first, but I still can’t really feel it.

I took a deep breath and observed the towering nest.

A fence that retains both the majesty of time and the old-fashioned feel, even amidst the tangled green vines.

The entrance has a thick gate, like you would see in a luxurious mansion, and a garden elaborately maintained like a work of art is spread across the large grounds surrounding the mansion.

In the center of the site, there is a huge U-shaped mansion that cannot be called grand.

No, the size is not enough even if you put a large letter in front of it a few times.

Due to the quality and number of materials used to build the mansion and the magic installed, as Hong Yeon-hwa said, it is a building that is more like a castle than a mansion.

A grand exterior that would feel burdensome even if the king of a prosperous country were to reside there.

This magnificent mansion is actually quite a famous place in the city.

The central area of the city where quite a few administrative facilities are located.

Although it is a huge mansion that takes up a lot of the land, it is rumored to be a building where no one comes and goes.

That’s not the only thing that surprised me.

‘… ‘You can’t observe the inside, right?’

Observation is not good. The exterior looks good, but the moment you try to go deep into the interior, observation suddenly stops. It is the effect of magic installed in the mansion.

‘No, is it magic?’

I tilted my head. The state was too strange to be called magic. Should I say that the technique is not clear?

If magic is said to project one’s will through a technique, this just seems to be the will melting away like a painting.

“Wow… ”

While Elia and Seoyul were still unable to come to their senses, Hong Yeon-hwa secretly turned her eyes to me.

The eyes were full of doubt and perplexity.

“Here… Isn’t it the president’s mansion?”

[…] well?]

I tilted my head in shock.

This is a place where the president is said to have lived in the past.

It is also a place that raises questions about whether it is the place where the owner of the tower of growth, who has disappeared, went into hiding.

And now this is the house I will live in.

First, I left behind the three people standing around and headed towards the front gate.

Likewise, at the gate, an unidentified magic… will had melted away.

If you try to destroy it by force, there will be a strong backlash.

‘It can be opened with just a key, right?’

First, I took out the key from subspace…

– Ugh… !

The key that escaped from subspace gave off a strange vibration.

– Bang!

Immediately after, a mechanical sound was heard from the front door, and the door opened wide from side to side without any hesitation.

[Eh]

Everyone looked dumbfounded at the sight of the front door opening at once, as if to welcome them, on a topic that had been kept tight-lipped until just a moment ago.

[…] Let’s go in first]

“Uh… Then.”

There is nothing absurd about it, and you can’t just stand still.

Since I had the key, I took the lead and crossed the front door.

– Ugh!

The key rang again. At the same time, I felt like something was connected to me.

and.

– Ugh… !

‘what.’

The confession necklace also rang out.
