“I was worried because the wound looked bad, but now… I can’t see the wound, son-in-law.”

[Yes, yes… Thank you for your concern… I’m okay now… ]

“I feel relieved when you say that. Is that appearance an aftereffect?”

[Yes… It’s a minor side effect. It will go back to normal soon…]

“I see… That’s fortunate.”

[Nep…]

I couldn’t raise my head. I couldn’t show my face confidently in front of those eyes that were calmly scanning me.

Hong Jin-seon, Yeon-hwa’s biological father, father-in-law? Adult.

I have never met him in person.

That was until I met you unexpectedly on the other side.

‘We met at that time and it was pretty normal…’

I was a total mess, and the situation was so urgent that we couldn’t even have a proper conversation, but I never showed myself as embarrassed as I do now.

Rather, wasn’t it a pretty good appearance? To the head of a family that values force, he showed a strong appearance…

-Yeonhwa… Can’t you give it to me now?

It’s different now.

A position where you are leaning against the lotus’s embrace. It is so warm and comfortable, but right now, it is very embarrassing.

The shame I had recently forgotten stirred my internal organs…

I secretly called out, but there was no answer. Instead, Yeonhwa’s hand gently stroked my stomach.

“Daughter, it looks to me like your son-in-law is asking you to come down.”

“Not at all. How much does Harul like my arms? And I absolutely cannot leave her alone right now.”

Hong Jin-seon’s support came in, but it was quickly cut off.

“Right?”

[yes]

I reflexively agreed. Hong Yeon-hwa smiled and gently patted my stomach.

At that touch, my mind became tired again. My eyelids became heavier and heavier as the vibrations transmitted to my stomach…

“Uhh… ”

[omg]

I came to my senses when I heard Hong Jin-seon’s exclamations nearby.

Let’s operate the observation in a small way, and you can see Hong Jin-seon’s mouth wide open in disbelief.

“I heard about it in advance, and I’m seeing it for myself… but I still can’t believe it. Is this really my daughter?”

“Why on earth does everyone talk about that when they see me? What did I do?”

“There must be a report left over from the personality correction class in the family. Do you want to see it?”

“What? Why did you leave that?”

“Do you really need to throw it away? There are plenty of places to store it.”

Yeonhwa, who stuck out her lips in response to Hong Jin-seon’s words, tightened her arms around me.

“… Okay. But when I hear that, over there…? You said you went in there? How did you get in there?”

“I don’t know. I was just going into a dungeon nearby and killing monsters, when suddenly the floor split and I fell into a place called I-myeon.”

Seeing Hong Jin-seon’s questioning face, I also had a question mark running through my head.

Entering and exiting from the back. It’s not the entrance, but rather you suddenly fall into the back.

It’s not unprecedented.

Daerasajeo suddenly fell to the other side in the middle of a runaway dungeon.

This may also be the case for Hong Jin-seon.

‘but.’

In Hong Jin-seon’s case, it wasn’t natural.

I vividly remember the traces and ‘trauma’ that were engraved in the space at that time.

‘Someone made it artificially.’

This is definitely not a natural phenomenon. Someone has interfered with the space, creating a path between the back and the dungeon.

Considering that clue and the alarm that went off in my head, I can roughly guess the identity.

“I met my son-in-law there. Also, the guy I was looking for was there.”

“That guy…? Oh, Hong Yeonjun? That guy was there? ”

“… Yeah.”

“Where are you now?”

“Missed.”

“What?”

The conversation continued even while I was lost in thought.

Yeonhwa’s eyes opened wide.

“Dad missed it? Why on earth?”

Hong Jin-seon kept his mouth shut with his arms crossed.

“… There was a strange trick. It wasn’t an ordinary state to begin with. There was a small excuse, though. ”

Hong Jin-seon’s gaze, muttering like that, fell on me.

“I came by to visit you and ask you something. But when I came here, I had other questions.”

Hong Jin-seon sat up straight.

“Son-in-law, can I ask you something?”

[Yes, Hong Jin-seon]

I also sat up straight in Hong Yeon-hwa’s arms.

I could roughly predict what kind of questions would be asked.

‘The Tower of Purgatory.’

To be exact, the tower lord of purgatory who descended as a vessel for Hong Yeonjun.

From Hong Jin-seon’s perspective, who didn’t know the circumstances, it must have been a strange sight to see something taking over his younger brother’s body.

I used to know that guy.

‘Should I tell you the circumstances?’

It was an issue that had not been decided yet. So, I waited with complicated feelings for Hong Jin-seon to open her mouth.

“Did the son-in-law manifest Mt. Taishan and Changhae?”

My mouth opened. My mind stopped for a moment at the soft question.

…

[Taesan…? Changhae…? What are you talking about?]

The necklace of confession responded with an answer that I had stored in my head as if I were setting a shortcut.

I came to my senses. I tilted my head and showed my innocence for the time being.

[I didn’t manifest Mt. Taesan and Changhae]

The necklace of confession reveals the doctor’s true intentions.

That’s why you need to be careful about your word choice.

I have not yet been able to express Changhae and Taesan. I think I will someday, but what I have used so far is imitation through homogenization.

It didn’t settle down like a scarecrow…

“… Ha-yul-ah.”

“Yes?”

It was then that Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, gently stroked my cheek with a complicated expression.

“When I found you in the battlefield, you were both wearing them openly.”

“Ah.”

[ah]

ah.

.

.

.

While walking down the hallway.

There were many people who greeted me, even though they were embarrassed by my difficult appearance.

Association personnel, magicians dispatched from the Magic Circle, and a small number of administrators dispatched from the observation team.

Superhumans who came in according to the mobilization order of the association.

and…

“Hello! Lee Ha-yul! I am Lee Seung-cheol, a member of the dark force dispatched with Miss Lee Ji-yeon!”

…

“Oh, my name is Baek Yu-na, and I’m dispatched from Changpa. It’s my first time meeting you.”

…

“Master, are you feeling okay? Oh, this is Hong Yeon-cheol from the Purification Unit who greeted you during the last vacation. ”

[hello…]

The three generations of royal family members bowed politely to the point of being suspicious.

‘You’ve seen it all.’

My expression naturally became pale.

It hasn’t been announced yet. Most people don’t know either.

However, I clearly saw the troops of the three major families who broke through the battlefield to rescue me.

I’m still keeping my mouth shut, but I definitely know…

“Hey, you’re popular, right?”

“Don’t tease me… ”

“Just kidding. It would be nice to be popular, right?”

Professor Riana, who had been holding me in her arms and watching me from start to finish, smiled and touched my earlobe.

… Professor Riana must also know why their attitude is like that.

But he doesn’t say much, he just shows a lot of affection.

Without even being able to pout, he buried his face in Professor Riana’s chest.

-Thump…Thump…Thump…

I felt at ease as I heard my heart pounding inside the flesh that hugged my face.

I calmed my mind as I smelled the milk entering my nasal passages.

‘…Yeah, it was bound to get caught someday.’

If we stop at imitation through factual homogenization, there is a possibility that we will not be caught in the future.

But if you can overcome imitation and establish yourself as unique, you will inevitably be caught in the fight that lies ahead.

In particular, Changhae must obtain it through uniqueness in order to remove Baek Arin’s curse.

It was an inevitable result. It was not something I hid my face in my chest and was frustrated about…

-It’s a very surprising and serious matter, but considering my son-in-law’s condition, it’s not something to make a hasty decision. Don’t worry unnecessarily and just rest in peace.

Hong Jin-seon said so. As expected, Yeon-hwa’s parents are good people, just like Choi Ji-yeon.

Since that person told me, it will be okay later.

That’s definitely the case.

‘There wasn’t any danger of assassination or anything like that happening the third time either.’

In the third round, the unique ability was revealed and the power situation was a mess, but it wasn’t a crisis where the Myuk would suddenly fall.

In fact, they were busy meeting among themselves day and night.

The reason why the 3rd round ended is because I was trying to get away from that annoying fight for a while, and then I encountered a surprise 2nd tier monster in an unfavorable situation.

So nothing bad will happen to me.

It has to be that way…

“Phuhu… ”

“Ahaha, it tickles.”

I took a deep breath and raised my head. I patted Professor Riana on the back, who was smiling, and turned to observe her quietly.

There is someone else accompanying me besides Professor Nawariana.

“… Priest, do you like it that much?”

[yes]

Daera Sajeo stares at me with a very strange expression. For some reason, the gaze directed at me has been getting more and more lukewarm recently.

“Ahem! By the way, I’m glad they caught them… ”

[That’s right. I had no choice but to let it go because I didn’t have the capacity, but I felt relieved.]

Daerasajeo changed the subject. I nodded in agreement.

Those guys are the guys who followed Hong Yeonjun.

It is said that he was dealing with Daerasajeo, but ran away the moment the Tower of Purgatory lord and the 10th appearance caused chaos.

I didn’t have the capacity at the time, so I had no choice but to just let it go.

But I got caught.

I heard that he was thrown onto the battlefield after being swept up in the chaos of the past, and was captured by the Association’s punitive force that observed him.

I had expected this outcome since I probably wouldn’t be able to get out of it, but I never thought I would actually get caught.

I thought I could escape by breaking through the gap in the wires, but it seems I was caught easily, perhaps because Daerasajer had roasted me with electricity.

‘Whatever it is, it’s a good result.’

We might be able to get some information out of them by interrogating them.

So, Professor Riana decided to go see them together as the guardian and Daerasajer as the person involved.

We walked and arrived at the prison facility located underground.

I followed the instructions of the association staff member who had been waiting in advance and went into the solitary confinement room.

‘hmm.’

The solitary cell was quite large and had a transparent structure that allowed the inside to be seen from the outside. However, due to its separate function, it was impossible to see outside from the inside.

They were each locked in solitary cells, restrained in all sorts of restraints.

“Professor, please wait a minute.”

I came out of Professor Riana’s arms and floated into the air with magic.

This time, Professor Riana didn’t particularly stop him.

Still worried, he released a superior spirit from behind.

The upper-level spirits in human form smiled and waved their hands.

I greeted him and magically flew up to appear in front of the solitary cell.

Let’s send a small signal, the association staff member nodded cautiously and manipulated the magic tool.

At that moment, light sparkled on the transparent wall.

The guy imprisoned inside was also able to see this side.

The guy who had been tightly bound raised his head.

Clearly, Estrah, who had been shooting arrows and magic at me, was a wanted criminal.

It’s a story that makes you say “beggar-like” on its own.

[It hasn’t been that long… yet. Still, are you happy?]

“… … ”

[I told you to surrender a long time ago]

Her lips were cracked and rough, as if she hadn’t had a drink of water for a while.

It was the moment when I tilted my ear to see what would come out.

The guy, Est, lowered his head as if he was going to slam it on the floor.

“Please spare my life. At that time, I had reasons not to surrender. I will explain everything obediently. Also, I do not want to be presumptuous. If you just spare my life, I will follow orders and work like a dog.”

[?]

[Absurd]

The lips were chapped and the tongue moved smoothly.

My expression became distorted as I watched the declarations of intent coming one after another.
