– Isn’t Rihanna playing over there?

“Huh?”

Inside the dark forest. Lyana, who was sitting down in the grass and petting the cute spirits, tilted her head.

“Over there, where is it?”

– Wow, wow. The sky is sparkling.

Aurora, a small human-shaped water spirit who had just ascended to the rank of lieutenant spirit, pointed to one side.

As I turned my gaze in that direction, I could see fireworks painting the sky green with a popping sound.

It looked small from a distance, but even from here, it was a very grand and splendid fireworks display.

Underneath those fireworks, there will probably be a lot of people eating, drinking, and enjoying the excitement of the festival.

“No, I don’t really want to hang out there.”

– why?

Rihanna shook her head with a trembling face. Aurora tilted her head.

– Since Rihanna is human too, isn’t it a little fun to play with humans?

“Aurora, not all humans are friendly.”

– I know that too. There are many people, and each of them has different thoughts and tastes.

Aurora squared her shoulders. Having risen to the rank of lieutenant and opened her mind, Aurora now prided herself on being quite knowledgeable about the human species.

“Yes, I know that.”

Rihanna smiled faintly and stroked Aurora’s hair with her fingers.

“As you know, there are people who hate playing with others… and prefer to be alone.”

Rihanna, then a first-year student at Siyoram, nodded.

The first day of the birth ceremony I experienced for the first time.

In fact, Rihanna was not fond of the festival called Birth Day.

First of all, it’s too Busan-like.

There is so much noise coming from all directions that it hurts my ears, and there are so many sounds that it is difficult to keep my composure.

Above all, because there are so many people, the lower spirits that were in remote places quickly run away somewhere.

It was an unpleasant thing for Rihanna, who was still unable to sign a contract because she didn’t have enough money, but was just trying to build a relationship with him.

It’s also annoying.

I’m dying from the hassle of participating in formal, show-off schedules, but people keep calling me.

Rihanna, if you have time, would you like to go somewhere together?

Rihanna, there’s still some space left, so why don’t you go sightseeing?

Rihanna, everyone’s going to be here, so where are we going to go and eat something?

Blah blah…

“Oh.”

Rihanna shook her head quickly, feeling dizzy on its own.

Even the cadets I wasn’t normally very friendly with are in that state.

At Shiyoram Correction, many outsiders come in and look at her as if she is new. People from outside industries come in and grab her by the neck, handing her a business card and listing off her self-introductions.

Those who approach you to recruit talent, those who approach you based on your appearance, or those who approach you lightly, just to build connections…

It wasn’t for nothing that people around me told me to carry a cognitive impairment tool with me.

Rihanna, who had been ignoring the orderly behavior, ended up having a very annoying experience on the first day.

Actually, it was inevitable.

It possesses the rare spirit affinity as its unique ability, and possesses enough magical power to easily operate a large number of spirits.

She is not lacking in any other qualities, and her outward appearance and figure are so beautiful that no one dares compare them.

Moreover, as we are just finishing our first year, there is still endless potential for growth.

Rihanna, who is such an incredible talent, has no power that has made her name known yet.

There are many people who approach Rihanna for similar reasons.

“Do you understand, Aurora? That place is like a devil’s paradise right now. If you go back in, it won’t be easy to get out.”

I know the reason, but that doesn’t mean Rihanna has any obligation to respond.

So, isn’t it that you’ve come into the forest where there are no people and are playing with the spirits?

Aurora, who had been listening to Rihanna’s rather long explanation, tilted her head in the opposite direction.

– Isn’t that the same now as it was before?

“… That’s true.”

– Doesn’t Rihanna have any human friends?

Aurora’s question made Rihanna’s shoulders flinch. Rihanna replied, calmly pushing her hair back.

“Aurora, the definition of friend is so vague.”

– So does Rihanna have anyone she considers a friend?

Rihanna’s eyes trembled at the continuous questions.

“… There is someone to greet when you meet them, someone to call when you have a collaborative project, and someone to ask questions when you have questions.”

– That would be appropriate, wouldn’t it be people in a kind of business relationship?

“Where did you learn that?”

– I learned it from a book.

Books have corrupted the pure spirit. Rihanna suddenly thinks of such a thought, but how can one condemn the broadening of one’s thoughts through books?

Even Aurora, who had just been promoted to lieutenant, was a spirit who had achieved a more mature and advanced self than the other lieutenants.

How can we stop a child like that from being curious and exploring the world?

“Oh well, anyway, I’ll be here for a while.”

As Rihanna sighed deeply, a puppy-shaped spirit approached her and attached itself to her.

A smile appeared on Rihanna’s lips again. She twisted her body, saying that it was good to be caressed by a gentle hand on her back.

Rihanna loves spirits.

Did he develop the unique ability called ‘spirit affinity’ because he liked spirits, or did he develop ‘spirit affinity’ and become fond of spirits?

I don’t know the causal relationship, but in the end, Rihanna liked the spirit.

The spirit is pure and unadorned.

Don’t say you like something you hate, and don’t reject something you like by saying you hate it.

If you don’t like it, you run away, but if you like it, you chase after it.

Don’t turn your back and spit out dirty words, and don’t say things you don’t mean in front of others.

A pure appearance without any pretense. Unlike others, he does not hide his malice or hide a knife behind his back.

Rihanna liked spirits more than people.

It’s not that I hate people blindly, but I don’t want to hang out with people when I have better friends like spirits.

Rather than chatting with people under the sparkling fireworks, it is better to be in a quiet place and be in harmony with the spirits.

“… Maybe I should build a log cabin later.”

Rihanna, who had been stroking the spirit, raised her head at the gradually spreading green light.

The fireworks are so spectacular that it looks like green stars are engraved in the sky.

Rihanna, who had been taking in the fireworks in her green eyes, suddenly muttered.

A quiet place. A place where there are few people, where you can build a rough house and live in peace with the spirits.

‘Hmm, it seems like a good dream.’

The world is so harsh, so we can buy safe, expensive land in the interior and build on it.

By then, Rihanna herself will be stronger than she is now, so it won’t be a problem unless the world is destroyed.

“It was a pretty good dream,” Rihanna praised herself.

.

.

.

A slightly open window.

A cool breeze blew in through the curtains, refreshing the room, and the sunlight streaming in faintly illuminated the large bed.

“… … ”

Rihanna woke up in her own bed and blinked. Her freshly woken up mind searched for the closest memory.

I had a dream. It’s a memory from when I was a student at Siyoram.

Thinking back now, I had some embarrassing thoughts as a child, but they were memories that could be considered good memories, so they were far from nightmares.

Before I fell asleep, before I dreamed… I drank alcohol while watching fireworks.

Unlike my days as a cadet, I enjoyed the taste of expensive green wine by rolling it around in my mouth, with green fireworks almost right above me.

The atmosphere was good and the alcohol was of high quality, so it remains as a very good memory.

But alcohol and fireworks weren’t the main memories.

A much darker and denser memory remains.

“Koo… ”

A feeling of presence in the arms.

Now that I think about it, I don’t smell any alcohol. No matter how good the alcohol is, you end up smelling alcohol the next day when you wake up.

Instead, the sweet scent of honey lingered in my nose and throughout my body.

When I glanced down, I saw Lee Ha-yool dreaming in Rihanna’s arms.

Pure white hair that sparkles like snow in the faint sunlight.

Her smooth skin, as if spread with milk, exudes a fragrant scent, and her slender body, revealed by the blanket falling down, is buried in Rihanna’s arms, transmitting and receiving warmth.

“… … ”

“Ugh… ”

While Rihanna was blankly admiring Lee Ha-yool’s appearance, Lee Ha-yool started to wiggle his body.

“Haam… ”

Immediately afterwards, a cute yawn escapes from his gaping mouth. Did he wake up after sensing Rihanna’s presence?

Lee Ha-yool’s eyes, which had been closed and mumbling, slowly opened.

Dreamy gray eyes that seem out of this world.

Rihanna had seen those eyes before. Eyes that were as if shrouded in a thick fog, unable to see clearly. Eyes that were open but unable to see properly.

The pupils came into focus. Rihanna’s face was clearly reflected in the dull, dull eyes.

Strangely, Rihanna felt a great sense of satisfaction at that. It was as if she had blatantly carved her mark on a piece of pure white porcelain.

“… Good night… ?”

The mouth that had been babbling opens and a voice leaks out. I had heard this often, but it felt different to feel Lee Ha-yool’s voice directed only at Rihanna.

Even though you’re sleepy, it seeps right into your eardrums as if it were meant just for you.

“… Yes, did you sleep well?”

Rihanna was confused by the strange sensation she felt for the first time in her life, but she raised her hand and gently stroked Lee Ha-yul’s head.

The sensation of the hair wrapped around your palm is so gentle that it is difficult to get used to it.

“Eung… Okay… ”

Lee Ha-yool, who was crying loudly, is hugged deeper into Rihanna’s arms.

Wrap your hands around her waist and press your bodies against hers.

And then he naturally buries his face in Rihanna’s chest.

Now that the front door was wide open, Lee Ha-yool could bury his nose in Rihanna’s chest and easily smell her body.

“Sniff sniff sniff… It smells good… ”

[milk smell]

[Warmth]

[Abundance]

[dairy?]

“They say milk doesn’t come out… And having big breasts doesn’t make a person a cow… ”

The sight of her enjoying the shameful smell between her flesh as if it were her own.

Rihanna’s face turned red because she had often given her breasts before, but had never craved the smell as much as she did today.

I was worried that I might smell like the alcohol I drank yesterday, but since he said he liked it, well…

Rihanna gave him a strange expression and caressed Lee Ha-yool’s lips that were rubbing against her upper chest.

“… Is it that good?”

“Yes.”

[affirmation]

“Hmm… Do you want to fall?”

“I don’t like it… ”

[negative]

[Possessiveness]

[desire]

Lee Ha-yool, who was whining, grabbed Rihanna’s waist hard. While being careful not to hurt her, he also tied her tightly so that she could not escape.

A smile appeared on Rihanna’s lips as she watched him desperately whine, rubbing his face against her chest as if telling her not to go.

Although it may seem like there is a lewd side to it, if you look closely, you can see that it is a pure, childlike desire for affection.

I have never looked down on others in order to show off myself.

If you like something, you express it with embarrassment, and if you don’t like it, you express it with sadness.

I never talk bad about others behind their backs, and I never say things I don’t mean.

I have lied before, but never with the intention of harming anyone.

I have never harassed others with malicious intent, and I have never betrayed others with a hidden dagger behind my back.

“Honey? Shouldn’t you be eating breakfast soon?”

From the first time we met, to the moment I got to know him one by one, there were only things I liked about him.

Rihanna smiled brightly and patted the back of the innocent child buried in her arms.

‘Oh, except for the part where you treat your own body carelessly.’

That needs to be given a big scolding sometime.

.

.

.

“I never thought I would get ripped off after making a reservation to have it stamped.”

Elia pouted, crossing her legs rather rudely and folding her arms under her ample chest.

The kind Elia is openly sulking.

Lee Ha-yool, who was sitting quietly, sweated coldly as he watched Elia’s expression.
