It’s not uncommon for the Confession Necklace to work on its own.

A mischievous artifact that exposes its owner’s shameful inner thoughts whenever there is a gap.

There have been so many instances where I’ve had trouble because of this necklace.

[yes]

[nice to meet you]

[Lee Ha-sol]

‘huh?’

This time it was a little different.

“It’s not “hello” but “nice to meet you”?

The outrage that the Necklace of Confession has caused so far has been the kind that exposes my inner self.

Did he imagine being strangled to death after seeing the necklace, or did he think that Baek A-rin’s chest was big?

But what about now?

I can confidently say that this is not a thought that came to me. It is not a memory that I am ashamed of or have buried because I do not want to recall it.

Literally, thoughts I had never had before came out of the necklace.

Question marks floated up inside my head.

“… The rate was really right.”

[yes]

[This is Lee Ha-yul─]

[…all]

The woman, Lee Ha-sol, blinked and muttered. As if responding to that, the necklace responded on its own.

I grabbed the necklace and blinked.

‘what?’

I took a deep breath and observed the person named Ha Sol again.

The color green came to mind first and most strongly.

Hair neatly swept over one shoulder, and clear, bright eyes.

They’re all lime green.

Coincidentally, the main color of the cadet uniform and accessories is also green, so the colors of the entire body blend harmoniously.

There was no corner to nitpick about his entire body or appearance. His facial features were round yet distinct, and his curvaceous body was easily distinguishable under his cadet uniform.

Even among superhumans, he had a unique and outstanding appearance.

‘Where have we met?’

In other words, he is a person who is hard to forget once you meet him. This is especially true for me, who has the power of observation and knowledge.

How could I forget someone with such deep uniqueness?

So, if I don’t know about it, it doesn’t even enter my awareness, let alone encounter it.

“No, I was skeptical, but Harul was really right…?”

But that side has a keen eye for detail.

It wasn’t because of his fame, but his eyes were filled with surprise and joy as if he was really close to this person named Lee Ha-yool.

Ha Sol, who was shyly covering her slightly open mouth with her hand, quickly approached me.

Until he reached out and gently reached out.

My body started to tremble as my hand got closer… but it didn’t.

There was no sense of alertness. I had to prepare for the possibility, but I quickly decided that it was not possible.

My hand touched the ball.

-Kuuuk…

[?]

He pinched my cheek with his finger.

The corners of Ha-sol’s eyes, raised belatedly, were observed.

“Ha-yul! Why didn’t you contact me before!”

[Huh?]

“What the heck! Do you know how surprised I was when I heard the news! The director suddenly said there was a fire, and Ha-yul said he ran out…!”

I suddenly got divorced.

My cheeks stretched out like rice cakes. I was really good at stretching them without causing any pain. I felt a little tired, but I didn’t feel any pain.

‘ah.’

But I was able to get a rough idea of the accuracy.

The words director, fire, and runaway.

At the same time, I recalled the personal statement I had checked in the past.

Ilbo Daycare Center.

One of the orphanages my body spent time in in this world.

[that…]

“Yes! Go ahead!… That necklace, you did a good job. Now you don’t have to carry a notepad around with you─”

[Mr. Lee Ha-sol, are you an acquaintance of mine?]

“─I’ll be comfortable… Yes, okay?”

The problem is that I have no memories of that time.

The conversation that had been going on suddenly stopped. The hand that was pulling at me also stopped.

Ihasol’s eyes opened wide. There was a different emotion in them than before.

“… Yes?”

A feeling of confusion spread through my lips.

.

.

.

“Memory, loss… ?“

Her lime green eyes trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

This was Ihasol’s reaction after hearing my explanation. It was as if the world was falling apart and she had a torn expression on her face, which made me feel guilty for no reason.

“Uh, since when… No, until when? Have you forgotten all your memories from the daycare…?”

As I expected, Ha-sol Lee was a friend from my days at the orphanage.

To be exact, he was a person who knew nothing but an empty shell without a soul.

In other words, he is a person who has no connection to me, a soul that has entered properly.

[Yes… most of them…]

“No way… Didn’t you say nice to me a little while ago? “

A trembling hand came up to my shoulder. Desperation dripped from the eyes that stared down at me.

I wanted to give him a good answer, but unfortunately there was only so much I could say right away.

[I don’t know about that either. The necklace… is because the artifact reacted on its own.]

“That’s… ”

Dark clouds covered his earnest expression. He seemed to be restraining his emotions, but emotional turmoil was clearly visible throughout his body.

‘Were we close…?’

I wiggled my fingers while observing Lee Ha-sol’s expression.

Records from before the soul entered this body. I searched through them a bit, but didn’t pay much attention.

To be exact, I lost interest later on. Because I had already figured out how I came to this world.

‘But I never thought we would have this kind of relationship…’

I should have looked into it in more detail. If he was the kind of person to react like that, he could have found the information and found it.

It was an obvious mistake.

“The rate is… ”

A little time passed.

Although it was a short period of time, Lee Ha-sol was able to learn a lot about children’s songs during that time.

After a while, Hasol Lee swallowed a sigh and opened his mouth to speak.

“First of all, is Ha-Yul… Is Ha-Yul the same person who was staying at Ilbo Daycare?”

[yes]

Ilbo Daycare Center.

It is the name of the last orphanage I was in, both in the previous world and in the present world.

The people may not be the same, but the name of the daycare center has not changed.

“… Then it’s okay.”

[yes?]

“You said you lost your memory, but you reacted, right? Even if you couldn’t remember it right away, the memory will remain in your body”

That makes sense.

Although we live in a world where the concepts of spirit and flesh are divided, memories remain in the flesh anyway.

“What kind of world is this these days? I’m sure we can get it back.”

In a world ruled by talent, there must be a way to recall a memory.

Grimalhan Hasol tried to force a faint smile.

[… Yes, I will try to find it too]

“Yes, thank you.”

It was difficult to say something so offensive in front of that smile.

When I answered positively, hiding my complicated expression, Lee Ha-sol also smiled slightly.

“Well, still… I like this look better.”

[yes?]

“I can sense emotions well. Embarrassed, sorry, awkward… In the past, I was always emotionless and it was hard to understand.”

The two hands that had been on my shoulders came up and gently caressed my cheeks.

He swept it down as if checking the texture, and gently squeezed and caressed the cheek…

As I rolled my eyes back under my eyelids, this time a hand came up to my eye.

“Your eyes… are you still blind? I heard that they are sometimes open when you hear about special admission students.”

[Uh… It’s true that it’s basically invisible. But it has detection capabilities, so there’s no problem.]

“That’s good. Then I won’t have to have anyone hold my hand anymore. Thanks to the necklace, I don’t have to bother carrying a notebook, and since I’m a superhuman, I won’t get sick as much… ”

The feeling that comes from the touch is warm. A soft and smooth feeling gently settles on my cheek.

I wondered if it was a lie to lure me, but because of this feeling, I couldn’t dare to doubt the truth.

It’s a complex feeling in many ways.

“The burn on my arm has completely healed.”

His hand ran down my right arm. As if he was handling a fragile piece of craftsmanship, his fingertips carefully brushed my skin.

[Yes… By the way, Lee Ha-sol]

“Ahaha, the basic thing I taught you to do is to add the word “nim” to the end of your name.”

[Oh… I see… Anyway]

I gently moved away from Ihasol’s touch and pointed out of the alley.

[If you want to arrive on time for the freshman welcome party, I think you should leave early?]

“Welcome, company… ? … !Ah!“

Ha-sol, who had been wearing a hazy expression, suddenly straightened up.

The heart that was so close to my nose that it seemed as if it could be touched has withdrawn.

“I completely forgot! I almost had an accident on the first day of work… Ha-Yul, thank you for letting me know! ”

[Yes, yes… It’s not too late, so take your time.]

Please don’t bump into any innocent people like me…

The other person who was about to come out was cut off.

“Ah! That’s right, that’s right, contact information!”

Ha-sol, who was hurriedly checking the state of her clothes, let out a sigh, tapped her smartwatch, and held it out to me.

A smartwatch that is in sync. I rubbed the smartwatch against it.

-Tiring!

[Contact ‘Lee Ha-sol’ has been saved]

“Okay! I’ll definitely contact you later!”

[Yes, yes… Don’t rush too much…]

As the cheerful alarm sounded, Ha Sol quickly turned around.

Whoosh! The surrounding wind blew around Ihasol.

A gentle breeze blew.

Ha Sol, who had escaped from the alley in one go, kicked the ground repeatedly toward the banquet hall.

[…I told you not to rush]

I let out a sigh as I watched the figure moving away in an instant.

My head is spinning.

It feels like a storm has come and gone.

‘I’m Lee Ha-sol… ‘

It’s not a completely unknown name. It’s the name that was at the top of the list of new recruits posted on the Shiyoram notice board.

I didn’t know that person and my body would be connected.

‘memory.’

To be exact, the memory of the body.

I didn’t try to find it, but once I found out that we had this kind of connection, I couldn’t just ignore it.

Another way to find memories also came to mind.

The power of knowledge.

Especially when it comes to memory issues, the power of knowledge can be of great help.

In other words, there was more work to do.

I sighed deeply and caressed the necklace of confession.

[… Private, even if you hide, you will be detected]

The sound of the necklace made the people nearby flinch.

Did you try to hide the stinging sensation that was so obvious?

A moment later, someone poked his face out from around the corner of the street where Ihasol had run away.

It was Erasasajeo who had been pacing around nearby, fidgeting for the past few minutes.

Why are you here? You clearly left long before me.

[Why do you have that expression?]

But the expression on Daera’s face was very strange. Her narrow blue eyes stared at me intently.

“… Priests, how many women are there?”

[?]

[That’s not it]

Even in internal affairs, Daera’s suspicions were not easily dispelled.
