Chapter Index

    “It really is you, Daera… It’s not fake… ”

    “I’m telling you, it’s true…! Why don’t you believe what people say? Ugh… ”

    “No, I can’t believe it… At all… ”

    Da-era, who had been suppressing her emotions by pressing her swollen eyes, began to shed tears.

    Art took out a handkerchief and rubbed Era’s eyes, then ran his hands through her hair to check her face.

    “Really… Really… ”

    My lips opened stammeringly, but I couldn’t form a proper sentence.

    At the moment when I didn’t feel real, I felt a brief, dirty feeling, but soon, a much more overwhelming and unbelievable feeling filled my heart and head.

    Atra bit her lip as she felt overwhelmed again and hugged Daera. Daera also sobbed and obediently fell into Atra’s arms.

    As I was held in her arms, tears that had barely stopped welled up in my eyes.

    “I, it was really hard… I wanted to die, but I wanted to keep seeing you… ”

    There are so many things I want to say, but I can’t explain them properly. It’s been a long time, and so much has happened.

    I had no idea where to start explaining everything.

    “Yeah, you did great. You did really well. You held up well… ”

    Although he hadn’t even heard the full story yet, Artra just held Daera in his arms.

    It was a dramatic reunion.

    It was a moment when we both desperately dreamed of a day like this, but secretly guessed that it would never come true.

    But it happened.

    They were reunited. I thought they were separated by death, but her disciple returned alive…

    “Hey, I was a little lost because of the atmosphere. Isn’t this place too cold to relieve stress? ”

    It was then that Rihanna, who had read the mood and left the place for a moment, came between the two.

    After she returned, she glanced around with a trembling face, seeing two people who looked similar.

    There aren’t really any people here. This is just one of the many walls. At best, there are the spirits of Riana and Iharul.

    -Whew…!

    But because it was so high up, the wind was strong. Rihanna shrugged her shoulders, clutching her flowing hair.

    Although it wasn’t so bad that they would freeze to death thanks to the barrier they had set up, it was clear that it wasn’t a good place to unravel old stories after a dramatic reunion.

    “Surely… ”

    Atra nodded at Rihanna’s words. It’s not that it wasn’t, but it was annoying to see her hair flying around.

    As soon as that thought came to mind, Artra carefully brushed back Daera’s hair that was blowing in the wind.

    It’s different from the past. What was black has turned blue, and it’s much longer.

    There are a lot of traces of rough cutting, but now it looks neat, as if it has been professionally trimmed.

    “… Your hair has grown a lot. No, it must be short compared to the time… Did you cut it yourself? ”

    “Hmph… Yeah. I cut it before, but this time the priest cut it for me.”

    “Priest… ?”

    Atra blinked. A forgotten thought came back to her mind.

    “Ah, no, are you talking about Lee Ha-yul?”

    “Yeah… I met you where I was… Thanks to the priest… Ah, ah! That’s right! The priest! The priest dropped me and left me alone! ”

    Da-era, who was about to talk about her hardships, let out a sigh at the thought that suddenly occurred to her.

    -[I’ll follow you right away]

    ‘You’ll catch up in no time!’

    It was her wish to get out of that hell, but she didn’t want to leave the priest behind and run away alone.

    However, Lee Ha-yul forced Da-era out.

    That’s how Dae-ra was abandoned in the middle of a snowy field.

    It was a difficult situation.

    Because she had no idea where it was. She had lost her smartwatch long ago.

    – This is the area where a mobilization order has been issued. Daera Choin. The front line is being set up in a remote place. How about heading there for now?

    -Oh, yes…

    If there had been no owner of the house of fear, I would have had to wander around for a while.

    Daera was in uncomfortable company with Hong Jin-seon, the head of the fear family.

    ‘You said that if I went out right away, people would wait! It took more than a day just to get there!’

    That took a day.

    Eraga looked into Atra’s eyes with sharp eyes and shook her arms.

    “Hey, priest! I really need to say something! Huh? How is it polite to abandon your master! ”

    “… … ”

    “… Master?”

    Daeraga, who had been muttering playfully, stopped talking.

    Because Atra’s complexion had noticeably sunken.

    Even though it was their first time meeting, Riana’s complexion, which was clearly marked by her enormous chest, became clouded, and the spirits who had been looking listless became dull and fell to the ground.

    At that sight, I suddenly scratched my head with anxiety at the sight of the invisible Lee Ha-yool.

    -[I’ll follow you right away]

    The voice of that time. Not only the voice but also the memory came to mind.

    It was a blurry face that I saw only because it had just moved, but for some reason, it seemed to reflect fear and determination.

    “A baby… ”

    Art bit his lip and opened his mouth.

    “… Yes?”

    Daera’s face turned pale.

    .

    .

    .

    A temporary healing facility installed at the last line of defense.

    Although it is labeled as temporary, the facilities are by no means poor.

    The treatment room where Lee Ha-yool was admitted is a facility that has been particularly invested with sincerity, money, and manpower.

    It is the epitome of modern medicine, with all sorts of technologies concentrated in it… Gay Lee Yul is lying inside, but has not yet regained consciousness.

    So the silence that fell in the healing room was bound to be heavy.

    “Yeah, it’s better than yesterday.”

    “The trauma has also recovered considerably. Even if I release it now, the wound won’t be opened again. ”

    There wasn’t just silence.

    Baek A-rin and Elia, who had been checking on Lee Ha-yool’s condition from either side of the bed, nodded and delivered the good news.

    “Hoo, hoo… ”

    The silence became lighter. Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been holding her breath with anxiety, let out a deep breath.

    “Recovery…is happening.”

    It has been over five days since the incident started, and Lee Ha-yool still has not regained consciousness.

    The amount of sincerity that has gone into Lee Ha-yool over the years is immeasurable.

    He breathed in rare medicinal herbs that could not be exchanged for money.

    If you add up other material and human values, it would be impossible to even estimate.

    Even though I was still very anxious, I started to feel a little better yesterday when I started to see steady recovery.

    “… It’s recovering, but it’s not like it’s completely healed.”

    Likewise, Lee Ji-yeon, who was sitting on the chair next to the bed, added to the good news.

    Hong Yeon-hwa tilted her head.

    “What are you talking about, Sister? You’re saying the treatment didn’t work? You’re recovering, right? ”

    “Yeah, it’s true that you recover. But it’s not because of the medicine or the healing effect, it’s because your natural recovery ability has a big effect.”

    Lee Ji-yeon looked down at Lee Ha-yul with a complicated expression. Those who followed her also followed her gaze.

    Lee Ha-yool’s right hand, wrapped tightly in a bandage, is holding Lee Ji-yeon’s hand tightly.

    -Little by little…

    ‘… ticklish.’

    A ticklish feeling rose up her fidgeting hand. Lee Ji-yeon held back the corners of her mouth from twitching.

    Lee Ji-yeon is living in a poisonous healing room.

    It’s not just because of personal desires, there are also practical reasons.

    The following rate is unconsciously used to crave life through Taesan.

    Lee Ji-yeon is holding Lee Ha-yool’s hand and giving him energy.

    Of course, it is also to appease Lee Ha-yul, whose face becomes pale when no one holds his hand.

    “… It’s really a mountain.”

    “Okay… ”

    “… … ”

    The eyes of the three people except Elia became complicated.

    Baek A-rin already understood that fear and chaos coexisted with Lee Ha-yool.

    But I didn’t know that Taesan would be included.

    Lee Ji-yeon was similar. She clearly expressed her fear of Lee Ha-yool, and Tae-san was almost certain of it.

    But this time, I witnessed the scene of Taesan’s launch with my own eyes, and even saw the sea.

    Although she pretended not to notice, Lee Ji-yeon was shocked to the point where she lost consciousness for a moment.

    “Um… ”

    Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been watching Lee Ha-yool’s life and death, also shed tears at the feeling of Taesan slowly making her head spin.

    Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t know about Changhae or Taesan. That’s why she was even more surprised when she came to her senses later.

    “What kind of abilities does Aega have… ”

    Finally, I was out of breath.

    I know there are more than one or two secrets, but I never thought it would be this kind.

    “… So, what should we do about this?”

    Those were Baek A-rin’s words.

    She placed her hand gently on Lee Ha-yool’s right hand and felt the life being sucked out of his body. Then she looked around.

    At that gaze, Hong Yeon-hwa and Lee Ji-yeon made complicated expressions.

    “… Well, I don’t know English right now. I haven’t heard the situation from him yet… ”

    “Even if you don’t know the circumstances, there is a scene that is roughly revealed. How many soldiers saw it with their own eyes? It would be impossible to crack down on it.”

    The union between members of the three major clans is not uncommon. Rather, it can be considered common.

    There are naturally cases where the unique abilities of the three generations of the family are revealed among the combined members.

    There is something in common.

    If the parents are of the bloodline of fear and chaos, there is a possibility that the child will manifest fear and chaos.

    But there has never been a single case of overlap.

    There aren’t many cases where the manifester combines and their children manifest the unique abilities of three generations of the family.

    It has already been concluded that it is theoretically impossible.

    The unique abilities of the three families coexist and conflict. Either way, they show an extreme reaction.

    What if something like that enters the body? It causes a runaway cycle of mutual growth and repulsion.

    For that reason, it is nearly impossible for the three major families to merge.

    Because the unique abilities won’t be combined anyway.

    To be exact, there is no point in merging. It is more beneficial to remain as a strong blood alliance as it is now.

    “But Ha-Yul-ssi has appeared. In the midst of a frightening storm, in the middle of a mountain… Oh my. All three are there? But they’re all fine? There’s no problem using them openly? ”

    “… … ”

    “A precedent has been created?”

    “Hmm… I don’t think this is something we should discuss now.”

    Baek A-rin shrugged her shoulders at Ji-yeon’s answer, who had been rolling her eyes.

    “Of course, there are the current lords and elders, but we here are the successors to the family. In the end, we are the ones who have to make the decisions in the future.”

    Hong Yeon-hwa is the successor to the Gyeophwa family.

    Baek A-rin is the successor to the Changhae family.

    Lee Ji-yeon is the successor to the Taesan family.

    They may not hold full power over the family right now, but they will hold power in the future.

    It’s not like you don’t have the right to speak right now.

    “… Anyway, Ha-ryul’s name has been added to the family tree, so we can stay at our house.”

    “That’s right. Last time, Ha-Yul said she would help us with the door work. If you have time, we can go together and check it out.”

    “Um… Taesan has already appeared. Later, we will visit our family and check things out… ”

    They were going somewhere separately. The three of them stopped talking and looked at each other with strange eyes.

    “Huh?”

    That was when.

    Elia, who had been watching Lee Ha-yul while listening to the conversation, was able to immediately notice the change in Lee Ha-yul.

    “Huh, huh?”

    Others also felt the change.

    Lee Ji-yeon, who was holding hands with Lee Ha-yool, opened her eyes wide, and Hong Yeon-hwa and Baek A-rin, who noticed it belatedly, also opened their mouths.

    The interest rate disappears.

    They were about to react in shock, but stopped when they saw something strange.

    The bandage that had been wrapped carefully came loose and the clothes became loose.

    Disappear? That’s the wrong expression.

    It’s not disappearing.

    As if time was rewinding, my body was getting smaller.

    A time that doesn’t take more than a few minutes.

    Something was moving under the baggy hospital gown.

    Elia, who had been blankly blinking, cautiously reached out her hand, and something popped out from the collar of her clothes.

    “Ah.”

    The identity was that of a young child.

    At the same time, it felt familiar.

    Pure white hair, and dreamy gray eyes that blink occasionally.

    The wounds were completely gone, the skin was smooth and shiny, and a faint sweet smell began to linger instead of the smell of blood.

    This is a difficult Lee Ha-yool. For some reason, she has become much cuter than before.

    “… sniffle.”

    It was a moment when everyone froze at that shocking sight.

    The gray eyes that were looking around became moist. My body shook and a sob escaped from my throat.

    It’s a blatant omen.

    “Ah─”

    “Wow, wooo… ”

    Before the baby could even cry, he burst into tears. The baby’s unique, sad and pitiful crying echoed through the world.

    “Uh, uh… How do I appease this…?! Harul? Look here? Yeah? Are you okay? ”

    “Wait, Yeonhwa! You can’t hold me like that. Come out. Support my arms inside… ”

    “It’s hard, I lost… ? No, but more than that, this kid started crying… ! Shouldn’t I feed him something? ”

    “Oh, Mom… Just a moment. I’ll go get something to drink.”

    When Lee Ha-yool came to his senses, they forgot what plan they had been planning to carry out and began to calm him down while he was sobbing.
