by fnovelpia“Dad, it’s already morning.”
A soft voice lingered through my hazy mind. My senses slowly returned, and I felt a hand shaking gently.
The consciousness that had been buried in the dream suddenly rose into reality.
‘Ah… I slept with Seoyul yesterday.’
The last thing I remember is us talking about trivial things, giggling and playing with each other’s hands, and then falling asleep in each other’s arms.
“You have to get up~?”
Seo-yool woke me up by gently shaking my body. It felt a bit strange to wake up later than my child, but I couldn’t help but wake up.
[sleep]
[drowsiness]
[Dazed]
‘I’m sleepy… ‘
My head was filled with sleep. My body felt heavy, like a ball of cotton soaked in water.
There was no choice.
Is it because I burn a lot of energy and calories while my body returns to normal?
The tired body slept a lot.
When I was young enough to be classified as a baby, I would sleep all day. Even when I was awake, I had to suck up food in a hurry and then go back to sleep.
[Okay… I’ll get up…]
It was a bit awkward for a while.
I felt a commotion coming from all over the mansion, so I sat up on the bed with my body twitching.
-Slurp
The feathers of the sky’s wings that had been covering me like a blanket seemed to fall, then gathered behind me.
The feathers of the sky’s wings, which had been fluttering as if in thought, were soon gathered into the shape of wing clothes.
Seoyul, who had been staring at the sight, furrowed his brows.
“Hmm… why not wings?”
[drowsiness]
[Huh…?]
“No, it’s nothing.”
Seoyul, who was shaking her head, gently grabbed my cheeks with both hands.
Then, our eye level matches up quite a bit. This is because my body has recovered considerably over time.
…Why is it still similar?
“Dad? Can’t you see the challenge yet?”
[… Yeah]
“Profit.”
When I opened my eyes, the heavy fog covering Seo-Yul was thick.
In my gaze, the real fairy? I noticed that she wasn’t there, and Seo-Yul’s expression was filled with discontent.
Seoyul, who had puffed out her cheeks, showed her face.
-side
The feeling of her lips gently touching mine. Seoyul, who had been giving me a short kiss, asked again.
“Still can’t see it?”
[huh…]
The result was the same. Yul’s cheeks swelled up more, and an embarrassed look appeared on my face.
It’s embarrassing to say, but I also thought that the condition for weakening the curse was a kiss.
But it doesn’t apply to Seo Yul.
I guess I misunderstood the conditions, or there must be other conditions besides a kiss.
.
.
.
After calming down the puffy eyes of Seo-Yul, I went down to the first floor and prepared a meal.
It’s closer to a kitchen than a cooking room.
When I was still young, Eliana Ariel prepared the meals, but these days, I am in charge of preparing the meals again.
Of course, until recently, even if we had prepared, it was only a small amount. There were almost four people in the mansion, including me.
It’s different now.
“Is there anything missing?”
“There’s nothing. There’s nothing lacking at all, so come quickly and sit down.”
“Baby? It’s still overflowing, so come in.”
“Ahhh, wait a minute. I’m making this… ”
Unable to resist the urging of many, I often walked to the table.
There are more people sitting around a round table.
Those who were on the battlefield have returned.
‘thank god.’
I smiled brightly as I floated about a dozen bowls.
Thanks to you, the desolate mansion was brought back to life.
The backroom rampage has virtually ended.
The entrance still remains in the world, and the battlefield is maintained, but the occupation of space and the pouring in of monsters have stopped.
Because of this, all external powers that had been supporting the cause have disbanded.
‘I’ll have to find out later.’
Currently, only the Association’s defense forces and some punitive forces remain on the battlefield.
The 200 years of accumulated backlash has been stopped, but the space called the back will remain.
The association is currently managing it, so I plan to visit it myself later.
‘Senior Lee Ji-yeon said she would come before the semester started.’
Lee Ji-yeon has not yet returned to the cradle.
First, I headed to the family home with the troops, but something came up and it seemed like it would take some time.
-I have some business to take care of at home. Paperwork… I guess? So I’ll just have to stay for a little while, so don’t worry.
This was what Lee Ji-yeon herself had told me over the phone.
Still, he said he would come before the semester started. I sat down in my seat, thinking about what I should do to repay him then.
“There is a lot of food left. Please eat it without being stingy.”
“Ha-yul, if you eat something this delicious every day, even a superhuman might gain weight.”
This was Hong Yeon-hwa’s response.
She playfully replied, her eyes sparkling at the food piled up on the table.
‘… … ‘
He tilted his head slightly and stared at Yeonhwa’s chest.
Data that was accurately preserved with the power of knowledge. Among them, Yeonhwa’s physical information was taken out and compared.
‘hmm.’
It was definitely frustrating. But it was good news for me.
To begin with, Superhuman Yeonhwa is still in the process of growing physically.
“… Where did you see that?”
“Try this too.”
“Huh? Uh… Thank you.”
.
.
.
After everyone finished eating, I continued to eat as well.
As I quickly finished cleaning up with magic and came out onto the lawn, colorful waves came crashing in from far away.
They were baby unicorns and spirits.
[Are you here? I slept well last night─]
[Burrrup]
I was swept away by the waves. My body, tossed around, collapsed on the lawn.
-Woof, woof!
-Purrrr!
[…I guess you slept well]
Things that rub against my body from all over the place.
Among them, there are also many spirits who have contracts with Professor Elia and Riana.
Even though it was so absurd, I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw him acting cute and saying he liked it.
-Your Majesty, did you sleep well?
-You coughed!
[Yeah, did you guys sleep well too?]
The fairies followed suit and said hello. Since I had been out playing with the spirits since early in the morning, I came flying in from the same direction as the spirits.
“… Fairy spirit… Unicorn? What kind of paradise is this?”
As I was continuously waving my arms and caressing the children, Erasajeo, who was slowly following behind me, muttered blankly.
[Ahaha, somehow it turned out like that]
“How can a fairy unicorn be released into this vast lawn? Give me back my common sense, priest. ”
[In this world, finding common sense is the most useless thing]
“… What the heck. It sounds like nonsense, but I can’t deny it. ”
[Hehehe. Ah, did you like the food?]
“Priest, I really thought I was going to explode. I ate a lot of food there, but the food the priest made was incomparably delicious. Did I eat something weird? ”
[I’m glad you said that as a cook]
Erasajeo approaches, patting her belly.
Nanbaesi asked with a sly smile.
[Sir, are you ready?]
Daera Sajeo was wearing the school uniform of the cradle.
To be exact, they were all wearing decorations and shoulder capes that were worn for ceremonies and festivals.
“Yeah, I didn’t forget anything. Oh my, you’re so annoying, I thought you were a student going on your first field trip? ”
Before we knew it, the feeling of winter had faded and warm spring days had arrived.
Today, as the new semester is about to begin, is the day of the 122nd freshman welcome party.
I am a 122nd cadet who has to attend the freshman welcome party. I passed the recommendation admission with confidence.
That’s why, even though I was assigned a dorm on campus, I personally invited him to my mansion, thinking that it would be better to live together.
-… This is a house?
I vividly remember Erasajeo’s reaction on the first day I was invited, when she opened her mouth wide as she entered the mansion grounds.
It was such a funny reaction, I wrapped it up nicely with the power of knowledge. I’ll use it to make fun of it later.
[Student… First of all, isn’t Daerasa also a student city?]
“Students and students are different!”
[It’s the same as belonging to an educational institution─]
[Bubbububu]
“You think I’m joking when I tell you this? You’re a senior with a cadet status, right?“
Erasajeo giggled as she grabbed my cheek with one hand. I also made a strange expression at her words.
What should I say, genealogy? It’s become strange.
The Master’s first disciple, Daerasajeo, is a cadet of the 122nd class, and the Master’s second disciple, I am a cadet of the 121st class.
That is, I am a second year student and Daerasajeo is a first year student.
The private tutor becomes the junior, and the priest becomes the senior.
From the outside, it seemed like a strange relationship.
[Bug-ee-ee-eng]
[Let go…]
“Wow, have you finally realized my majesty? Be more respectful from now on!”
[… Private, what was your ranking on the entrance exam… Bugueeeng…]
For your information, Daerasajeo is in the top tier, but he is neither first nor second in rank.
This is because I did not stand out in terms of theory.
To some extent, it is a bit higher than my level when I entered school.
There is a reasonable excuse that he ate it while he was missing, but the result was unavoidable.
[This is a bomb…]
“What? Priest?”
[It’s nothing]
She rubbed her warm cheek with her palm and pouted, then flinched when a finger approached her lips.
.
.
.
As with last year, the freshman welcome party will be held in Banquet Hall 1.
This was the reason why there was a lot of demand for autonomous buses passing through the central district, especially the first banquet hall.
The newly issued cadet uniform and decorations with green, a color symbolizing spring, stand out.
There were many students who looked around nervously and excitedly.
Siyoram 122nd class, they were this year’s freshmen.
‘… It’s something.’
As I observed those scenes, my expression naturally became strange.
This time last year.
I was on one of those buses too.
I curl up in a corner, trembling with excitement at the sight of the future that awaits me.
Then I met Yeonhwa. By chance, I got hit in the body and rolled around on the ground.
[Fortunately]
[Relief]
At the time, it was just something I hated and was scared of, but thinking back now, it was just a stroke of luck.
Thanks to that, I met Yeonhwa.
If all the misfortunes up until then had been for that meeting, it was a miracle that could be accepted without hesitation.
… Of course, I’m embarrassed to say these feelings out loud, so I plan to keep them hidden inside.
-Ahem
I gulped down the water I bought at the convenience store to relieve my thirst.
The current location is an alley a little away from the first banquet hall.
It’s near the place where Yeonhwa was stabbed.
This is the exact distance that the narrowed observation range falls within.
‘Because I’m still burdened to fully display my power. Above all else…’
He wiggled his right hand.
On the outside, the skin looks smooth.
I remember my right arm burning like a tree struck by lightning, enduring the flames of purgatory and hell.
‘좆같은새끼.’
I gave him a proper shit and left. Fortunately, he was outwardly recovered, but if I had been careful, I would have ended up in trouble again.
Of course, it’s not like my body is ugly or anything, but the problem is the way people around me and the people I care about look at me.
‘The left arm is…’
He shook his left arm slightly.
An arm made of real flesh and bone. In order to use the Proof of Guardianship in its original form, this arm must be cut off.
… I couldn’t do it because it was easy to see what kind of future would unfold.
‘I want to use it as much as possible…’
In terms of combat, the form of the number is better.
Of course, it seems like the proof of guardianship could be driven by other methods than the number of prosthetics…
That was the moment.
-Whew…
A clear wind swept past me. I broadened my observations by feeling the sensation buried in it.
‘ah.’
There was no need to expand it. Someone had suddenly entered the observation range.
A woman walking back and forth through the alley at a slightly quick pace.
The uniform is a cadet uniform with ceremonial decorations. The color of the decorations is green… It is for first year students.
But there is no hesitation in the steps he takes as he crosses the alley. He finds the right path as if he has been there for a long time.
‘I feel it by sending the wind first.’
I nodded, recalling the wind that had passed by.
The owner of the sound gradually approached.
The destination is probably the first banquet hall, because this is the alley leading to the banquet hall.
I thought about leaving, but quickly dismissed the idea and finished drinking the water.
I was planning to meet you in person and feel it anyway.
I can sense it now, but since we’re going to meet anyway, I might as well say hello.
A woman soon appeared from an alley a little further away.
The woman felt full of lime green.
Her hair and eyes are a clear lime green. Since she is a first-year student, even the decorations on her clothes are green.
The added energy is the wind, and its uniqueness is also related to the thick wind.
“… Huh?”
The woman who was walking briskly opened her already large eyes wide when she saw me.
The footsteps stopped. Wide-open eyes stared at me.
After a while, a hand came up and covered his mouth, and after a moment, his lips opened slightly beyond the hand.
“Ha-yul… ?”
“?”
A name that came out between my lips. It’s not strange.
It may sound like I’m boasting, but my name is pretty well known in the world.
Moreover, my appearance is so unique that anyone who sees me by my name will know that I am Lee Ha-yul.
‘what?’
But calling him that is quite friendly. It’s not even Lee Ha-yul, and people call him Ha-yul without any reason.
Do people living abroad call themselves that?
The moment I thought about that, I could read the emotions reflected in those lime green eyes.
Surprise, uncertainty, doubt, joy…
‘Nice to meet you?’
I’ve never met anyone like that.
It was around the time I was thinking like that.
[yes]
[nice to meet you]
[Lee Ha-sol]
‘?’
The necklace of confession clicked.
