Contrary to his seemingly normal appearance, Lee Ha-yool was actually out of his mind.

The power of observation while on a crisis observation ship preparing for a surprise attack.

Instead, the power of space, expressed with increased specific gravity, sensed the changes and flow of the dungeon.

Green waves rippling against a black sea-like background are perceived.

In the past, I could only perceive the outlines of objects, but now I can feel much more.

The flow of energy and space in the dungeon is expressed like waves.

Rather than lines or surfaces, hundreds of three-dimensional waves occurring in space are engraved on the map.

Of course, it becomes tiring to accept and interpret him.

‘Is that huge wave the core? It’s thick and the aftereffects are wide, so the wave barely reaches here. If I invest a little for just one day, I’ll be able to reach the core.’

Although fatigue built up, there were some rewards.

As I manifest the power of space all day long, I am able to capture more spatial waves, changes and fluidity.

‘I wonder if that can be used as an attack. If it were to send a slash instead of a wave, it would split the space apart.’

Lee Ha-yul sensed the waves of space crossing over, even ignoring the barrier he had set up, with a strange expression.

Even though it was a high-level protective magic, it couldn’t block things like spatial waves.

The spell that was added in the first place was ‘interference by space magic’, not something like resistance to ‘space’.

Whatever it is, spatial awareness is increasing.

Perhaps it would be efficient to find the back entrance in this way as well.

If a door must be opened, it must be opened with the power of space as well.

Thanks to that, I was able to gain some confidence in the answer that had been uncertain in just one day.

First of all, the first goal of entering the dungeon has been achieved.

– Yum

For that reason, Lee Ha-yul did not have much leeway.

I spent all day training in the power of space, spirit magic, and necromancy.

By the time the surroundings had darkened, Lee Ji-yeon had carved a lot of complex magic onto the foundation of the stronghold she had prepared.

Moreover, even at this very moment, he was using his power in such detail that he had no time to allocate it to trivial matters.

To be honest, it was difficult to even make small talk.

“How does it taste? As expected -”

[it is delicious]

“If you use it a lot, it’s like this… What is it?”

So, without thinking much, I took the pill that Lee Ji-yeon gave me.

That action was based on trust in Lee Ji-yeon.

I didn’t even bother to turn the observation wheel.

If it was an untrustworthy object, the first thing I would have done was analyze it and identify the ingredients.

If something harmful, like poison, had been detected there, various methods would have been used to find out the circumstances.

But because it’s Lee Ji-yeon.

She had no reason to hurt herself, so I just gave in to her.

– Omnyumnyum

So, I just enjoyed the crunchy texture of the food in my mouth and felt the vitality seeping into my body every time it was broken into small pieces.

The refreshing feeling of rain pouring down on a dry desert was quite enjoyable.

If we had to compare, would it be similar to peppermint candy?

“… Junior.”

[yes]

He responded, rubbing his cheek with his tongue, feeling the aftertaste lingering in his mouth.

Although it is not clearly recognized without observation, the delay was recognized by other means instead.

The presence that occupies space.

Taesan stands alone like a solid rock, and pottery is no different from the earth.

The outline of the blank space where the wind cannot blow, the texture of Lee Ji-yeon, the sound of her breathing, the sound of her heart…

Put them all together and roughly draw them on a map.

Since the outer appearance has already been determined through observation, it has been implemented to a certain extent.

Lee Ji-yeon was frozen as hard as a stone, her hands in her bosom.

[?]

Why are you doing that?

Lee Ha-yool tilted his head.

[Senior, why are you like that?]

“… … ”

Suddenly, Lee Ji-yeon’s behavior became strange.

Observation was used.

Lee Ji-yeon’s distinct image came into my mind.

A face that has turned pale and drained of all its color.

It never looked like it was in good condition.

[Where does it hurt? Why all of a sudden…]

Lee Ha-yool, whose face was hardened, jumped up from his seat and approached Lee Ji-yeon.

And we conducted a detailed observation, including of her body.

From head to toe, we dissect every single component of Lee Ji-yeon.

‘…There’s nothing strange?’

No physical injuries were found.

Lee Ji-yeon is physically healthy.

If it was serious, Lee Ha-yool, who was trying to treat Lee Ji-yeon by homogenizing her, tilted his head.

“Junior.”

[Yeah… Huh?]

While I was talking, my body floated up.

Lee Ji-yeon lifted Lee Ha-yool up, putting her hand between her armpits.

Lee Ji-yeon, who was staring at Lee Ha-yool with question marks hanging over his head, with wavering eyes, sat him down on her thigh.

Lee Ha-yool, who was suddenly held in her arms, tilted his head and flinched at the feeling of soft flesh brushing the tip of his nose.

I’ve hugged Lee Ji-yeon a few times, but we’re not close enough to where I can just bury my face in her arms and act cute.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

– Huh? Boo-ee…

The moment he slightly pulled his head back, Lee Ji-yeon’s hand grabbed his chin.

It was a strange gesture, gentle enough to avoid causing any pain, but also coercive enough to not anticipate any resistance.

Suddenly, his chin was grabbed and Lee Ha-yool’s actions stopped.

Lee Ji-yeon pressed both of her cheeks with her fingers.

Naturally, my cheeks were pressed and my mouth opened slightly.

– Huh?

Lee Ji-yeon looked into Lee Ha-yool’s mouth.

A cute pink tongue wriggled inside her slightly opened mouth.

Lee Ha-yool, who had her mouth suddenly observed, blushed and squirmed.

– Ugh, buee, ahh…

[Hey, why are you suddenly like that… Wait a minute, I, I smell…]

“… Just stay still, it only smells good.”

Such rebellion was immediately shot down by Lee Ji-yeon’s response.

It wasn’t an empty promise.

Right now, Lee Ji-yeon doesn’t have the luxury of caring about things like smell, but the only scent she can sense is the sweet scent of honey.

“… … ”

It smells good? How should I react to something like that?

I’ve buried my face in someone else’s embarrassing part and said it smelled good.

When I actually faced him, I didn’t know what to say in response.

Since there was no answer that could be derived, Lee Ha-yool ended up resting his chin on Lee Ji-yeon’s chest and obediently opened his mouth.

‘… There seems to be no problem on the outside.’

Thanks to that, Lee Ji-yeon was able to calmly examine Lee Ha-yool’s mouth and tongue.

‘No, it’s not a problem that should be revealed in the first place…’

As is usually the case, most medicinal herbs have a bitter taste.

Sometimes the material itself has a bitter taste, and other times, bitterness is intentionally added to prevent people from putting it in their mouths.

Of course, that’s not always the case.

Even if you don’t put the precious medicinal herbs in your mouth, you can tell at a glance that they are medicinal herbs.

Since you can tell if something is medicinal without having to put it in your mouth, it is common to add a flavor that is just right for you to eat.

Herbs intended for children in particular sometimes have a sweet taste.

In fact, most of the medicinal herbs that Lee Ha-yul encountered were sweet.

I haven’t tasted it yet, but the elixirs that people around me sometimes pass down are all the kinds that have been made with great care in terms of taste.

Hong Yeon-hwa always brought something sweet for Lee Ha-yool in case he didn’t like bitter food, and told him to try it because it was sweet, so she put it in his mouth.

After seeing Lee Ha-yool unconsciously whining about not liking the medicine in the hospital room, Artra started stocking up on sweet types.

Others also did not enjoy the bitter taste of Lee Ha-yul’s appearance, and gave him a tasted elixir that he felt was similar to that of a child.

But the pills that Lee Ji-yeon fed to Lee Ha-yool were not like that.

The main ingredient of the elixir is the root of a tree grown in the Taishan family.

The roots of the plant are basically very bitter.

Even after going through other materials and processing, a strong bitter taste remains.

So, I was afraid that Lee Ha-yool would whine about not liking the bitter taste, so I gave him the pill first and tried to put sugar in his mouth.

– it is delicious

Could it possibly be… delicious?

Lee Ji-yeon bit her lips hard.

Does Lee Ha-yul particularly like bitter tastes? Even if so, would he describe them as delicious?

‘…poison.’

In a corner of Lee Ji-yeon’s mind, as she agonized, a very ominous thought emerged.

Poison is harmful to living things.

It was like that even before the cataclysm.

The poisons in this world, where the concept of uniqueness emerged, are very diverse and sometimes have vicious properties.

It is very easy to end a life, and even if it cannot end its life, it clings to it very tenaciously and torments the addicted life.

‘Two-headed dragon.’

The same goes for the two-headed poisonous dragon, the monster that comes to mind most often when thinking of poisonous monsters.

The poison that one of its heads spits out is so foul and powerful that it could be considered a poison.

How many superhumans died from poison during the battle to subdue the Twin-Headed Poisonous Dragon, and how many suffered from the aftereffects?

Even the symptoms varied.

The body rots away from the extremities, becomes withered and twisted, and the skin cracks like a drought-stricken field…

And it gradually takes away my senses.

‘… … ‘

Lee Ha-yul fought the two-headed dragon and was on the verge of death.

I wonder if he was poisoned during that process?

From a monster that mainly uses poison?

Fighting to the point of almost dying?

No matter how optimistic I was, I just didn’t think that would happen.

‘Ugh… ‘

Suddenly, I felt nauseous.

Lee Ji-yeon clenched her mouth tightly.

– Kukukukung…

There was a vibration in my head. It was as if the rock that stood out was shaking.

My head hurt.

The karma of the past came rushing in again.

That may not be true.

It could be her imagination.

In fact, Lee Ha-yul got a taste of it… or at least, it wasn’t actually her fault.

… I had to ask a question to confirm that, but the answer I got was so scary.

– Pok

It was then that a warm feeling came over my body.

My body, which had been hard as a stone from the extremities, began to loosen up.

Lee Ji-yeon lowered her head blankly.

[I don’t know exactly why you’re doing that, but it’s okay.]

Lee Ha-yool was seen in her arms, hugging her waist tightly with both arms outstretched.

Hwaruk… A small flame rose from the corner of my shoulder.

It was a horror.

But unlike the usual scare, it wasn’t threatening.

It just burned quietly, as if it was just conveying a warm feeling.

[I don’t know the circumstances, but how about calming down for now?]

[Oh… It’s nice because it’s warm, right? And when I hug you tightly like this, even if I’m feeling depressed, my mood quickly improves.]

Lee Ha-yul continued to speak haltingly.

I don’t know why Lee Ji-yeon is suddenly acting like that.

There are also facts that cannot be known even if observations are made.

But I felt that Lee Ji-yeon’s mood was rapidly falling into the abyss, so I hugged her tightly.

The simple idea was that since I felt good when someone hugged me, others would feel the same way.

– Hug…!

– Boo-oop

Fortunately, it worked and Lee Ji-yeon hugged him tightly.

So much so that he could wrap both arms around her and bury her tightly in his arms.

Her stomach was pressed against her, and her face was buried deep in her ample breasts.

Lee Ha-yool felt a suffocating sensation and gently patted Lee Ji-yeon’s back, who was trembling.

“Huh… Phew… ”

A rough breath touched Jeongsu-ri.

Lee Ji-yeon had been breathing heavily as if she was hyperventilating, but she was gradually showing signs of improvement.

The interior of the temporary base was bathed in a mixture of the light from the luminous magic tools and the light of the fireball.

It was a warm color in many ways.

In it, Lee Ji-yeon held Lee Ha-yul in her arms for a while to calm her body and mind.

‘After all, hugs are a very good therapeutic tool.’

Lee Ha-yool, who experienced it firsthand, realized that the truth also applied to Lee Ji-yeon.

Covering each other’s bodies and sharing body heat is an excellent way to heal the heart.

He nodded and exhaled deeply.

… My face was buried in the flesh, so I couldn’t nod easily. Also, my nose was buried between the flesh, so I couldn’t breathe well.

‘… It’s big… ‘

Hei Ha-yul made a strange expression.

I just realized that Lee Ji-yeon’s chest is also incredibly large.

It’s bigger than my head… and it feels soft even through my thick clothes and underwear.

It was a little smaller than Rihanna, but bigger than Hongyeonhwa or Atra.

A little bigger than Baek A-rin? But it seems smaller than Elia.

Lee Ha-yul unconsciously compared the fullness of her chest.

Above all, through the detailed observations just now, we have obtained certain data in many ways.

And soon, thinking that it would be rude to tell Lee Ji-yeon, Lee Ha-yool immediately threw the information into the trash can.

– Please, someone help me…!

It was then that a single voice struck Lee Ha-yool’s mind like thunder.

The closed eyes suddenly opened.

It’s a unique feeling.

I have experienced many times that I have heard voices ringing in my head.

A sound that soaks thoughts into magic and sticks them in your ears.

The unique ability of the chloride series that is his original source.

An image that the spirit gives me.

Among them, it is a feeling that is quite similar to the spirit’s method of communication.

But it hits even harder than that.

There is a ringing in my head.

Not only words and sentences were conveyed.

The despair and desperation contained within, as well as the small wish for a ray of hope.

The location from which the voice was transmitted.

Inside this dungeon, quite a distance away… near the core?

It was transmitted in the form of very precise coordinates, almost like a distress signal.

‘Manifestation, space leap.’

He reflexively manifested his power.

“Uh, uh… ?”

Lee Ji-yeon, who was calming herself down while holding Lee Ha-yul in her arms, saw her surroundings rippling as if she had entered water.

In the past… it was a phenomenon I experienced once in China with Lee Ha-yul.

“No, wait, junior… What the hell, this again… !”

The waves of space swallowed up two people and one scream.
