Chapter Index

    [Go back to the mansion?]

    When I tilted my head at the sudden words, Lee Ji-yeon added an explanation.

    “Last time when you were young. You returned to Taesan, right? To be exact, you put life into your body. ”

    […yes that’s right]

    I nodded quietly.

    If you artificially infuse life energy into yourself by imitating Mt. Taesan, you can quickly return to your original state.

    “Somehow, after learning the Taesan operation method and passing by for a while, it didn’t take long for it to return to how it was before.“

    Jiyeon Lee nodded as if her doubts had been resolved and patted my shoulder.

    “Then, of course, you know that your junior’s mansion is filled with life.”

    [yes]

    The mansion where the president resides. The mansion is full of life, as if there was a special decree to enshrine something there.

    It is the best environment for my body, which is losing energy.

    It’s easier to breathe there, and the feeling of emptiness that always lingers is reduced.

    Even without specifically imitating Mt. Taesan, the mansion will naturally become full of vitality.

    “That’s right. If you stay there, you’ll get back to normal much faster and with less burden.”

    That’s right.

    If you live in a mansion, there is no need to use Mt. Taesan, and since it is not an artificial injection, there is no burden.

    But I couldn’t nod my head.

    [Still. The work isn’t over yet…]

    The backlash is also slowly showing a downward trend.

    As it was blocked well before, the damage will decrease more as the momentum of the rampage decreases.

    Even so, I feel it’s a bit odd for me to leave this here.

    Me, who caused the rampage and gathered the power to stop it?

    “… You said that was a disaster that would inevitably happen someday, right? You, the junior, sacrificed yourself to stop it. In reality, thanks to you, wasn’t the damage drastically reduced? ”

    [The damage has been reduced, but it is not non-existent]

    “If my junior hadn’t stopped me, I wouldn’t be counting them one by one on my fingers like I am now. Is that why you get depressed sometimes?”

    Lee Ji-yeon muttered in disbelief and swept my hair back.

    “I think the junior doesn’t realize how great a thing he has done. Whether in Sifna, in China, or now here.”

    [I’m not an idiot]

    My lips pout out for no reason at the remark that seemed to treat me like a fool.

    Of course, if I write it down, I feel like I’ve done something great.

    However, we cannot ignore the damage written below the achievement.

    I could have done better.

    I can’t stop thinking like that.

    “You don’t want to go back because of that kind of thinking?“

    [… We can go back together later]

    “Oh, that was the point? Because you were worried about us?”

    That was the point. In fact, the latter reason is much bigger.

    My fingertips and toes started tickling for no reason, so I buried my face in Jiyeon’s arms.

    ‘… Was it always like this before?’

    A momentary doubt crossed my mind, but I soon felt at ease and got over it.

    ‘How can it just go…’

    Since I had kept it a secret from the beginning, I didn’t know that people around me would come here.

    It would definitely be a great help, but I didn’t necessarily ask for help.

    But now that I’m here, I don’t want to leave either.

    No matter how much spatial power you have, I feel more at ease when it’s right next to me.

    Even though the body is like this, if you endure the force, it will return to its original state.

    “Oh, then… Okay.”

    Jiyeon Lee, who was embarrassed by my reaction of tightly pursed lips, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then suddenly smiled.

    It was a smile that felt rather confident.

    “Just trust me.”

    [yes?]

    “No one will get hurt while I’m here. Everyone will return safely. Well, since they’re all strong people, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

    Jiyeon Lee shrugged and pressed my cheeks with both hands.

    “Anyway, everyone will be safe, so don’t worry. Junior, you’ve worked hard enough, so go back and rest comfortably.”

    I pressed my cheeks together and bit my lip.

    Lee Ji-yeon smiled faintly, wondering if the sight was funny.

    “Okay?”

    [yes…]

    The answer came out reflexively. It was because the momentum made it difficult to raise any objections.

    Seeing my appearance like that, Aejiyeon nodded her head as if she was satisfied.

    ‘… Then what about food…?’

    … Actually, I wanted to stay here for more personal reasons, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.

    In the end, I closed my mouth and pressed my cheeks together.

    ***

    That’s why I returned to the mansion first.

    When I told the others the same thing, they were both happy and regretful.

    Even though it was the rear, it seems that he was not happy with being on the battlefield.

    … I had the same feeling, but I was quietly moved because of karma and the situation.

    ‘If it’s really dangerous, we’ll eventually have to go through space jump.’

    The move was hassle-free.

    This is because we were able to go straight to the cradle by passing through the temporarily installed gate.

    Anyway, that’s how the mansion came back.

    “Dad, seriously… you’re going too far. Huh?”

    [Mianae…]

    … The daughter ended up getting slapped mercilessly by Seo-yul.

    The emotion of coming back alive was completely lost along with the cold expression on Seo-Yul’s face as he waited at the front gate of the mansion.

    Eventually, I was dragged inside the mansion, and my cheeks were grabbed like rice cakes…

    “How could this happen? You said you would come back safely, but ended up getting hurt like a mess… ”

    [Real mia-nae… Seo-yul-ah…]

    It’s an awkward feeling to have my cheek stretched out in my daughter’s hand.

    “How many times has this happened… I, I… I thought you were wrong again… ”

    [I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…]

    But I couldn’t escape the clutches of my angry daughter.

    I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat at the sight of her sobbing through the cold air.

    If I had a conscience, how could I run away? I was in a situation where I had to accept it even if Seoyul grabbed my hair and shook it hard…

    “Miss Lee Seo-yool, you must have been very distressed.”

    These were the words of Ariel, who was in charge of protecting and taking care of Seo Yul.

    My shoulders naturally hunched at the reproach contained in those blunt eyes.

    I couldn’t dare refute it…

    ‘… But shouldn’t you at least help me?’

    People around me are being harassed a lot by Seo Yul.

    The six fairies gathered together are looking at me with restlessness.

    ‘Is it right to just stand there and watch while the king is being persecuted while you are always calling him king?’

    That’s not all.

    The spirits also just wander around, keeping an eye on Seo-Yul and making noises.

    Even the baby unicorn is unable to come to the car and just wanders around.

    ‘Why is it like that?’

    I don’t know why everyone is watching Seo Yul’s expression…

    “Dad, where are you so focused?”

    [Hic]

    The consciousness that had turned sideways came back.

    Seoyul, who was pouting, let go of my cheek.

    Then he put his hand down, put his hand between my armpits, and lifted me up.

    [Ugh…]

    That was such a shocking act.

    My legs lifted off the ground. My body floated up. I was caught by Seo-Yul’s hand, and my body dangled in the air…

    Seo Yul’s eyes sparkled as she lifted me up.

    “… Dad. You’re much smaller than me now.”

    [Ugh…]

    A sharp weapon was thrust into the place. The place where it was stuck was a place with a shred of pride.

    “I’m bigger now.”

    [Ugh…]

    “If you look at it from the outside, you won’t see us as father and daughter, but as an older sister and younger brother.”

    [S,stop…]

    My body trembled from the tremendous psychological shock.

    Seo-Yul, who seemed to be in a good mood for some reason, smiled brightly and hugged me.

    To my astonishment, I was able to hold it in my arms.

    [Gyaaaak…]

    As if that was the final blow, my heart sank. An indescribable misery broke my heart…

    “Elia… ”

    He escaped from Seo Yul’s clutches and slowly headed towards his only hope.

    Elia accompanied me because she couldn’t let me go alone.

    “Ahahaha, did you get married to Seoyul?”

    I snuggled into Elia’s arms, who was spreading her arms with a bitter smile.

    As I rubbed my hot cheek against my chest, a hand came up to my head and stroked my hair warmly.

    “I was so worried about Seo Yul. You know this is just a show of affection, right?”

    “Yes… ”

    I know that too. In the end, I know that I am a sinner, so I don’t dare to rebel…

    I felt better when I was held in Elia’s arms.

    The stares flying around me were a bit harsh, but I still didn’t want to leave his embrace.

    -Gulp…

    My stomach started growling for a moment. It was a hunger that came later than usual.

    ‘What should I eat…?’

    My face became clouded by the hunger that tickled my stomach.

    As hungry as I was, I had to put food that looked good on the outside into my mouth…

    That was the moment when I thought I had to kill him and take him out of the subspace.

    “… Baby, are you hungry?”

    Elia’s gaze, which was looking down at me, became strange.

    ***

    [Growth Tower stock price sighs in relief]

    [The tower of tuning falls to the floor]

    ***

    The time when Lee Ha-yool left the cradle through the gate.

    A temporary office located behind the defensive line.

    After checking the small details, Lee Ji-yeon tapped the desk with her fingers.

    ‘Can’t you tell the truth?’

    This rate uses Taesan. Also, in the past, Taesan’s life energy manipulation was used to return young bodies to normal.

    … it’s strange.

    How much life can be contained, how large and strong is the vessel that holds that life.

    Being infused with life means that you can recognize your own life force and vessel.

    But Lee Ha-yool seemed unaware of his own strangeness.

    I acted as if I was full of energy, but for Lee Ji-yeon, it was far from enough.

    ‘What the heck?’

    It doesn’t make sense. There’s something wrong with the perception.

    Impressionist Yeon Ji-yeon rolled her head.

    ‘I should have taken you to Chachari Draft Beer…’

    Fresh pulse.

    It is one of the areas managed by the main family of the Taesan family, and is a place that is managed especially strictly because it is full of a particularly clear and spiritual energy.

    In principle, this is a place where anyone who is not an important member of the family is not allowed to enter.

    ‘But isn’t my junior also a de facto party concerned?’

    This rate is dealing with Mt. Taesan. Moreover, its output is similar to that of Lee Jiyeon.

    ‘No, but it hasn’t been announced yet…’

    Isn’t this something that hasn’t been reported to the governor yet?

    Also, the three major families were informed, recognized, shocked, turned around, dealt with, held internal meetings, and had meetings…

    ‘Oh.’

    Lee Ji-yeon, who thought about the mess that was about to unfold, let out a deep sigh without realizing it.
