Mother Earth Goddess Temple.

Small room.

Wolf Scathach was spaced out and slumped down.

Jeong Yu-sin looked at Mion, leaving the shocked wolf guy behind.

Thinking carefully, he was curious about what kind of effect it would have if an ordinary woman made a magical girl ‘contract’.

Mion answered.

“Women also become stronger, but not as strong as men. A magical girl is also a kind of contract job, and the strength and growth rate you can get from the contract depends on what price you pay. Of course, there is no demand for excessive compensation.”

“Th, then…?”

“Yes. Most of the historically famous magical girls were ‘male’.”

He realized why Mion reacted that way.

And once again, he reminded himself that the darkness of the labyrinth was deeper than he thought.

Still.

He wanted to see Mion in a magical girl outfit.

What would it be like?

Wouldn’t it be cute and sexy?

Mion, who noticed his gaze, blushed.

“S, Scathach-nim? Don’t tell me you want me to be in a ma, magical girl outfit?”

His heart pricked, so he turned his gaze away.

She’s like a ghost. As expected, it’s Mion. Too smart a woman.

Mion fidgeted for a moment, then came closer and tiptoed.

“I, I’ll wear it later.”

“…”

“Because I can a, ask Arachne Tailor.”

Was it an illusion that Mion’s whispering breath became a little hotter?

Or was it just that his face was flushed?

“Thank you.”

“Hehe.”

“Ahem!”

He heard a cough from behind. Wolf Scathach, who had already come to his senses, opened his mouth, averting his gaze.

“It’s difficult to say this in the current situation, but I still have to.”

Mion stepped away from Jeong Yu-sin and straightened her posture.

“I met a woman in the labyrinth who looked similar to the priestess. She said she was Altair Landishier.”

“…”

“And she said that the Landishier family was a vassal family serving the owner of the labyrinth city a long time ago. Is that correct?”

Mion’s body stiffened.

“…”

After a moment of silence.

Mion slowly opened her mouth with a painful expression.

“…That’s right. A long time ago, the Landishier family split into two factions, conflicted over whether to follow the head of the family into the labyrinth or stay behind.”

Mion’s story continued.

“After that, many things happened, and our family took responsibility and gave up all positions and lived ordinary lives.”

Jeong Yu-sin nodded.

I see.

Mion bowed her head.

“I, I’m sorry. Scathach-nim, I didn’t mean to deceive you. But…”

Jeong Yu-sin smiled and took Mion’s hand.

“I understand. Isn’t it the most important secret of the labyrinth city? It must have been difficult for you to tell me, thank you for having the courage to do so.”

“Ah. But I heard that there were no weak people among our ancestors. But how…?”

Mion’s question was simple.

She was asking how he survived when he encountered an overwhelmingly strong enemy.

“Since you were looking for something, I gave it to you and politely asked you. To back off.”

“…?”

“I handed it over filled with yin energy.”

“Hooheueut?!”

“For some reason, the way she was suffering resembled Mion, so it was cute.”

Gulp.

He heard Mion swallowing hard.

‘Nice.’

The gentle, slit-eyed priestess blushing and looking embarrassed.

The wolf guy butted in again.

“It won’t be that easy. Priestess, do you know about Altair Landishier? And the head of the family’s subordinates, who have been quiet until now, have begun to move. Doesn’t that mean something unusual is happening?”

Mion’s expression sank.

“Since our ancestors did not leave any past records, we, the descendants, do not know much about the person named Altair. We should probably ask the long-lived elves. If it’s Elasein-nim, she will be able to access the elven records, so I will ask her.”

Jeong Yu-sin stroked his chin.

Elf Queen Elasein.

It was coincidental that he heard that name again here.

“No. I will meet her myself.”

“Yes?”

“After all, I am the one who saw Altair. Even after hearing Priestess Mion’s words, somehow I have a feeling that the queen will call me.”

“…I understand. If you need anything, please find me anytime. E, even if you don’t have any business, you can come anytime.”

Jeong Yu-sin hugged Mion once and returned to the inn with the wolf guy.

The rat guy was not at the inn.

He was too tired to wait any longer, so he returned to his room, took off his armor, and packed his bags.

“Hmm?”

No matter how much he rummaged through his pants, Karin’s panties were nowhere to be seen.

He had clearly hidden them tightly in his back pocket along with Cyan’s panties.

‘Could it be.’

The reason he was able to shake off the mind attack of that fish god even for a moment.

‘Was it because of Karin’s panties?’

He felt a chill down his spine for a moment, but then Jeong Yu-sin chuckled.

Cyan and Karin were really helping him a lot without him knowing.

He decided to give them both a kiss when they returned from the labyrinth.

* * *

5 days passed.

Jeong Yu-sin and Wolf Scathach, who had returned from the labyrinth, rested for a few days and then summoned Dietrich.

The wolf guy frowned.

“Do we have to call that guy?”

He seemed to have a sense of revulsion at seeing a man turn into a woman.

“We have to call him. Don’t we have to do something about the Dietrich in your world?”

“That guy is already finished.”

The wolf guy’s words are true.

Would Dietrich, who had already fallen in another world, accept the wolf guy’s proposal?

It was unlikely.

But Dietrich had saved Wolf Scathach.

It meant that a small fragment of humanity remained.

“You never know. What if the Dietrich in this world tells you information you don’t know? There is always a gap.”

“…”

The wolf guy did not know about Dietrich’s miserable past.

I understand.

There are things you can and cannot talk about, no matter how close you are.

Rather, there are things you cannot talk about because you are too close.

Perhaps Dietrich was the latter.

“Hoo. I don’t know.”

At that moment.

Creak.

The inn door opened.

A handsome man in a white shirt came in.

Dietrich found Jeong Yu-sin and the wolf guy and gave them a cool smile.

“Scathach-nim! Wolf-ssi! What did you call me for? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Jeong Yu-sin pointed at the wolf beastman.

“This guy received a new engraving.”

“Yes.”

“Do you know about the magical girl manager engraving?”

“Yes… yes.”

“Become a magical girl.”

“…Yes?! D, did I hear you wrong?”

You heard me right.

“Ah. I’m just curious, so just close your eyes and do it once.”

“Ah, no, what kind of…?”

“You’re the only one I can trust. We’ll break the contract right away, so let’s just try it once.”

Jeong Yu-sin’s headstrong request.

But Dietrich closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then immediately nodded.

“I don’t know what the plan is, but I’ll trust Scathach-nim.”

‘Good.’

Jeong Yu-sin winked at the wolf guy.

The wolf beastman reluctantly raised his hand.

Flash!

A shining parchment was created in the air and placed in front of Dietrich.

Dietrich picked up the parchment and read it carefully.

“There’s a lot here.”

“How is it? Would the old you accept these conditions?”

Dietrich gave a bitter smile.

“Well, it depends on how strong I can become.”

I see.

“You promised that I could return to normal, so I’ll give it a try.”

Dietrich bit his pinky finger, drew blood, and sprinkled it under the shining contract.

Flash!!!

Once again, brilliant light filled the inn.

And Jeong Yu-sin’s eyes widened when he saw Dietrich’s transformed appearance.

“Wow.”

Glossy brown bob.

Long eyelashes. Melancholy eyes.

Over the tightly fitted off-shoulder blouse.

The shape of the breasts, neither too big nor too small, was revealed.

Underneath the flashy flared skirt, the long legs shone beautifully.

The body was generally thin, but the firm buttocks and beautiful breasts had the effect of making them stand out even more.

How should he describe Dietrich, who had turned into a woman?

A cool and chic beauty, like a senior who is particularly admired by the female members of the basketball club.

A cool and chic beauty was born.

“Hmm… it’s a bit embarrassing.”

Dietrich, who had turned into a woman, observed his appearance here and there and then frowned.

Even his voice had changed to a soft and gentle one.

At that time.

“Heooooooheok!!!”

Suddenly, the wolf guy knelt down and lowered his head.

“Keueueueueuk!!! Th, this isn’t it!!!”

Jeong Yu-sin ignored the wolf guy and looked at Dietrich.

“How do you feel?”

“Well, I feel a little empty and embarrassed. My shoulders are a li, little heavy too.”

“No. Do you feel stronger?”

“Please wait a moment.”

Dietrich closed his eyes as if thinking about something, then immediately raised his hand.

Hooaang!!!

A light flashed and a bizarre longsword appeared in Dietrich’s hand. There was a beautiful and large ribbon attached to the longsword guard.

“Th, that’s right. This is the magical girl’s weapon.”

Dietrich stared blankly, observing the longsword.

“Suddenly you summon that? How?”

“Ah… yes. Various knowledge came into my head automatically.”

Jeong Yu-sin brought a mirror and showed it to Dietrich’s face, and tested various abilities.

After a while.

“How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort?”

Dietrich shook his head at Jeong Yu-sin’s question.

“It made me feel good to see my sister’s appearance when I was young. Besides, I’ve become stronger in every aspect I know. Honestly, I didn’t know I would become this strong… The old me would definitely covet this kind of power.”

I see.

Dietrich guy.

How much power did you crave?

Anyway, the experiment was over.

It was clear that the power that Dietrich in the Wolf Beastman world would be interested in was certain.

“Third, raise your head and look at Dietrich.”

“…”

The wolf guy slowly raised his head, then grabbed his head again and screamed.

“Keuaaaaaak!!!”

“Hoo.”

Jeong Yu-sin sighed deeply.

It was obvious that his mentality had been shattered.

“Get a hold of yourself. You have to cancel Dietrich’s contract.”

After 30 minutes, the wolf guy, who had finally come to his senses, canceled the magical girl contract.

Dietrich, who had returned to normal, smiled brightly.

“It was a strange feeling. If you don’t mind, I’d like to treat you to a meal, how about it?”

‘Tsk.’

Suddenly an invitation to dinner?

His eyes look a little strange.

“It’s okay. You must be tired, please go back and rest.”

He politely refused.

“I, is that so? Please call me if you need anything. There are loopholes in the city’s defenses because people have turned into fishmen. Perhaps our mercenary group will stay and take on security requests.”

“Yes. Please do your best to defend the city.”

“Ahaha. You’re a really funny person, Scathach-nim.”

Dietrich smiled and left.

“…”

A moment of silence passed.

Jeong Yu-sin smiled and opened his mouth.

“Possible?”

“Fuck. Don’t do it.”

The wolf guy cursed and washed his face with his hands.

As he sat at the table and continued to tease the wolf guy, the ‘Scathachs’ who had gone out for a while returned.

The mystic and rat Scathach, who had half-returned to human form, were also there.

The TS Scathach tilted her head.

“Maknae, the third looks uneasy, what’s wrong?”

“Sit down.”

As the ‘Scathachs’ sat around the table, Jeong Yu-sin explained what had happened just now and his future plans.

The mystic guy raised his finger to his head and spun it around.

“Now that I see it, maknae is the craziest one here. Are you okay in the head?”

“It’s possible.”

“The mercenary group is all dead, how are you going to make that not happen? The wolf guy would be more comfortable killing Dietrich than saving him.”

Jeong Yu-sin was silent.

“…”

He was hit right on the mark.

The mystic’s words were true. The Dietrich in the other world had already crossed the line and gone far beyond it.

His friends who had stood back to back with him had died, could he forgive Dietrich?

He couldn’t.

The wolf guy’s face darkened again.

The mystic opened his mouth.

“We’re going back soon. I haven’t told you yet, but.”

“I already know. I looked through all the wolf guy’s memories. But I can’t send you guys back like this. It’s a groundless hunch, but this is my conclusion.”

The days he had spent with those guys were already engraved in his heart. If he couldn’t wish for their happiness, who else would listen?

The mystic stroked his forehead and sighed deeply.

“…Oh.”

The TS Scathach jumped in to break the dark atmosphere.

“Ah! Didn’t you say you had something to show the squeaky guy?”

That’s right.

Jeong Yu-sin brought a green gem from the room and placed it on the table.

“Squeak?!”

The rat Scathach, who was nonchalantly gnawing on a chunk of cheese, widened his eyes and looked at the green gem.

‘Th, this is?!’

The rat Scathach was so surprised that he dropped the cheese he was eating.

‘Th, this shouldn’t be coming out now…!’

The rat Scathach’s telepathy echoed through the inn.

“What is it?”

‘…That’s a stone that can turn back time! It’s the Time Stone!’

Crazy.

Like Jeong Yu-sin.

The ‘Scathachs” eyes also widened.

It was too sudden.

Why would the Time Stone pop out of the dead fish god?

Wait.

One thought flashed through his mind.

When the Song of Return echoes, we will become one.

What if the return that the dead fish god wants is not a ‘place’ but a ‘time’?

So what if this stone was created by the will of divinity gathering together?

That makes some sense.

Didn’t some ridiculous magical tool come out of the Outer God Changeling guy as well?

“Th, then if we use this…!”

It means we can turn back time.

The TS Scathach jumped in.

“Then doesn’t that mean we can go back to before the other world transfer?”

‘It’s not that strong.’

I see.

The strength drained from his body.

‘But if your compass magic tool, the Time Stone, and the Elf Queen’s World Tree Staff are combined, you can distort space and time and use it much more effectively. For example, you can move that Dietrich guy to before he fell.’

“…!”

He saw a path.

A path to rewriting fate by turning back time.

A way to go back to before Dietrich fell and put a magical girl contract on him first.

‘But it’s difficult. The Elf Queen will never give up the World Tree Staff. The World Tree Staff is a staff with great magic power and a direct path connecting the elves and the World Tree.’

Jeong Yu-sin glared at the rat Scathach.

A suspicious guy.

He knew a lot, but he acted like a spectator watching from a distance in the current situation.

But the rat Scathach seemed unwilling to answer, even though he read the question in Jeong Yu-sin’s expression, and turned his head away.

The ‘Scathachs’ also gave him suspicious looks, but they didn’t particularly open their mouths to question him.

Everyone knows.

That once that guy decides to shut his mouth, he won’t say anything even if he dies.

But he’s another ‘me’ anyway.

Jeong Yu-sin tapped the table and glared at the rat Scathach. He was going to let it go for now, but he decided to dig into that guy’s past someday.

“I’m going to the Elf Queen. And I’m going to borrow the World Tree Staff.”

“H, how?”

The TS Scathach asked.

Jeong Yu-sin grinned.

“I have a plan, so don’t worry too much.”

“…”

The inn was silent.

Jeong Yu-sin slowly rose from his seat.

‘I’m used to flattering people with my dick.’
