What does this feel like?

Nameless was confused.

By the time I opened my eyes, airships were falling from the sky.

All the top executives of the union who had never seen a single tear in their lives were gathered in front of one man and shedding tears of joy.

Eugene?

The same name kept popping up.

A name that seems familiar yet unfamiliar.

A name you cannot forget even if you try to forget it.

Sigh.

Ah, the nameless person who raised his hand above his head! And I let out a sigh.

Why? Why did I forget?

Suddenly, suddenly, the face of the unknown person who was imitating the person’s rough hand and ruffling his hair gradually became distorted and tearful.

‘why?’

Why am I running away now?

Did you do something dishonorable?

That’s not me?

‘why?’

Why did you trick me?

Why didn’t you say it was him from the beginning?

Why on earth did you hide your identity?

‘why?’

Why did you abandon me?

Suddenly, without saying anything?

‘why?’

Why did you take me away in the first place?

For what?

Why, why? why······?

Unknown’s head was filled with question marks.

I couldn’t understand.

I couldn’t understand it at all.

“Ha, ugh…”

After running and running as if running away, Unknown reached a deep corner of the bomb shelter.

In that dark place where everyone has left and I am left alone.

An unknown fingertip produced a small light.

An unknown magic circle began to color the floor and walls.

The magic circle thus completed began to reconstruct Nameless’ memories.

It was a magic that an unknown person had worked hard to create for many years.

“Ugh…!”

Strands of light and light began to caress the unknown head.

A texture recreated from a vague memory enveloped the anonymous head.

A touch that seems indifferent and sincere.

A rough yet gentle touch.

It was the master’s touch that Nameless hated so much and longed for.

Without missing a single day, Nameless would use this magic to remember him and ignite her hatred for him.

“Ah?”

It wasn’t.

Only then did Mu-myeong notice that this magic had not been used once in the past three days.

Why? Why all of a sudden I never missed a day?

The only thing that has changed in the past three days is that man.

Phudduddduk.

Anonymous’s teeth ground apart.

It was something I should have noticed long ago.

If there was evidence, it was already widespread.

“I was going to ask… I wanted to ask about everything, one by one…”

Why did you run away?

In the end, I came back to this question.

I have organized everything I want to say when I meet that person again.

Now it seemed like they had all become blank.

All my memories of Eugene have faded now, and all that remains is the feeling of stroking him.

It also happened when I was very young.

Therefore, in obscurity, Eugene was merely an object and was never recognized as a person.

If we meet again…

No, actually, I didn’t think that would happen.

A target to unilaterally pour out resentment.

It was nothing more and nothing less.

But there was something special about the man who suddenly appeared in front of me anonymously.

He’s human, but he’s not like In-Gap.

Although he was a man of this world, he was not like a man of this world.

Nameless felt an unknown sense of kinship with that person.

A person who seems to be detached from the world and from people.

The difference was that that person was truly, literally, erased from existence and was detached from it.

Although I didn’t particularly trust or feel affection for him.

Somehow, he was someone who understood the situation.

An ordinary person who makes a mistake, feels guilty, and tries to turn it around.

A person who seeks specialness in the midst of the ordinary and strives to become ordinary in the midst of the special.

It looks just like me.

Nameless thought so, but it was actually the opposite.

Anonymous resembled him.

That person was Eugene.

He was a person whom Nameless hated.

He was the person I missed so much.

“Why aaeaeae······.”

I got irritated.

The unknown, imaginary Eugene was no longer there.

The image of a cold-hearted and incomprehensible cold-blooded person disappeared, and Eugene’s impression took its place.

Hatred and resentment have lost their place.

Now I don’t know what to say to him.

I don’t know how to deal with it.

I don’t know whether to hate him or not.

I just ended up not knowing everything…

.

.

.

“Eugene. I’m chasing after the unknown. That kid, I’ve been waiting for you so long.”

“But do I deserve it…?”

“What qualifications do you have?”

Cornelia smiled and took my hand.

It was a look in his eyes that seemed to say he was really worried.

Cornelia wrapped her hands and gave me warmth, as if giving me courage.

“Do parents need qualifications to return to their children?”

“I am like the parent of an unknown person-”

” That’s right. It may not be you, but at least Nameless considers you like a parent. Please go quickly and comfort me. Even though it looks like it’s grown up, it’s still a child. No matter what the circumstances, children who have been separated from their parents for a long time tend to sulk a lot.”

“······.”

It was definitely as he said.

Wasn’t it already decided from the moment you took in the nameless and raised it?

I have already taken on the responsibility of a parent.

If so, shouldn’t we abandon that responsibility until the end?

I almost made an irreversible mistake.

I bumped my forehead with Cornelia, who looked up into my eyes.

Eyes full of trust that he will do well.

“Don’t worry about me, just go.”

“As soon as I got back, it felt a bit like that. Because the situation is so messy. Sorry.”

“The overwhelming feeling has calmed down a bit, it’s brighter now, and there are a lot of people around… Let’s have a full-fledged after-party later at night, just the two of us.”

It felt like my ears were melting at Cornelia’s whispers.

When dealing with the three guys, I could feel the lust I had barely suppressed rushing out as if it were going to burst out.

Going crazy.

Cornelia lightly kissing my palm and falling down could not have looked so sexy.

‘I can see the road.’

It was a moment when I was at a loss as to how to find the nameless person.

My extreme light automatically draws a line along the path.

Where I need to go

I was heading to a place where I had a connection.

That light extended to everyone around them.

The thick lines connect Cornelia, Yelina, Julia, and Jill.

But just one thing.

You can see a thin line that is strangely twisted and twisted into a strange shape.

Follow that line into a deep place.

This was the first time I knew of a place like this while wandering around the Federation Headquarters.

Gradually, there are fewer people.

Even the light is disappearing.

In the bottomless pit, where only darkness remained, something was sitting quietly.

Without saying a word, just quietly.

My head was being stroked by an intangible hand made of magical power.

That hand felt very familiar.

“Huh, huh······.”

Unable to control his tears, Unknown continues to sob.

Confused thoughts filled her and began to flow out, flooding the surroundings.

As if I was possessed, I approached the unknown person and stretched out my hand.

“······.”

And then swoosh, swoosh.

I stroked my now large head.

Even though the size has grown, the condition of the curls and hair remains the same.

It really was the same as before.

“······?!”

At first, Unmyung didn’t react at all, probably because he didn’t notice that I was there.

Gradually, my touch became mixed with irregular movements, causing me to flinch and tremble.

Slur.

Nameless looked back with a look of wonder in his eyes.

“You…!”

widely!

Nameless threw my hand away and screamed.

Mumyeong must have been surprised by the reflexive scream that came out of him, so he covered his mouth with his hand.

“Well, now… I’m not ready… Can we talk about it later…”

“Unknown.”

“Why, why… Why are you suddenly calling me that…”

“I’m sorry.”

“······What is it?”

The atmosphere suddenly cooled.

Myeong-myeong, who was trying to leave, saying he wasn’t ready, sat down right away.

He began to face me with eyes overflowing with hatred.

“What, what on earth are you sorry for? Are you leaving me? Or were you hiding your identity and deceiving me? Which one are you talking about…!”

“Everything. Whatever it is, I’m sorry if I hurt you.”

I gave up the thought of making excuses.

I didn’t want to be a parent who makes excuses to my child.

Even though they are not real parents.

I had to stand in front of an unknown person with at least a sense of responsibility equivalent to that.

“First of all, my top priority was to regain my existence, and I didn’t think about anything afterward. As a result, I ended up putting everything about you on the back burner.”

“From the beginning… Got it…? Am I anonymous…?”

“No. I noticed it from the beginning. I knew it when you mentioned your master.”

“From then on…”

Nameless sobbed for a moment and was unable to speak.

Anonymous chewed his lips once, then took a step closer to me and burst into words.

“Do you know how lonely I was?”

“······.”

“Who I am, where I come from, why I am different from other people… I have absolutely no idea, but what’s crazy is that there’s no one to ask this about…! Why am I alone! Why am I unique? And why did that person just leave without teaching me even one thing…”

Only then did I realize it.

Nameless didn’t need the right answer.

I didn’t want to accurately explore and know my identity or my origins.

I needed a ‘person’ to teach me the answer.

It doesn’t matter whether the person knows the answer or not.

What is important is whether the nameless person is someone worthy of seeking answers.

And there is only one person like that.

It was me.

Harvesting the unknown, cultivating the unknown.

I was the one who engraved my hand to the point where it remained in the memory of an unknown person.

“Unknown.”

“······.”

It was a simple story.

There is no need to spin or try to solve it step by step.

It’s so ridiculously simple and easy…

“I was too late. I’m sorry for making you anxious and confused… That won’t happen in the future.”

“······!”

“I won’t be going anywhere from now on. It will never disappear or leave. So, you can rest assured.”

“What…what kind of illusion… Who waited for someone like you…”

It is a defense mechanism that everyone has.

If you judge that someone is going to leave soon, you will naturally treat them poorly.

Although we intellectually know that it is right to cherish a relationship that may break at any moment, our instincts reject it.

Moreover, Nameless is still a 4-year-old child.

It is natural that the defense mechanism is polarized.

And all I have to do is reassure that unknown person.

“Who said they missed something like you… When I said I wanted to question you, it just meant that I wanted to blame you, it didn’t mean I really wanted to see you!”

“······.”

“How hard it was for me because of you! I was lonely! Come now… come now… Ugh······.”

“······.”

“Did you think you could be forgiven if you did this? Did you think I wouldn’t hate you!”

“······.”

Nameless’s face distorts and she bursts into tears.

My body trembles and I lower my eyes.

In front of that unknown person, I slowly got down on one knee and brought them to eye level.

Then, as I slowly open my arms, the unknown person twitches and slowly approaches me.

Head still turned.

Although his will to ignore me is still strong.

It slowly starts squirming as if it can’t go against its instincts, but soon it can’t hold back its cries once more and runs towards me.

“Aaaa! Really! Why are you coming now? I hate you! I hate you so much! Hehehe, hehehe. bad guy! Bad guy, bad guy! I really hate you to death…!”

It was a really simple story.

I just needed someone to fool around with.

Even if you get annoyed at your parents who leave and return without saying a word, you act like that’s all.

The same was true for the unknown.

“When all work is finished… I made a promise… I decided to grant you one wish…”

“It was like that.”

After pouring out tears for a long time.

Nameless spoke in a slightly calm voice, occasionally sniffling.

“I’ll write it now… Now, don’t ever abandon me again…”

Wish repair completed.
