Even if there were conditions, they were nothing special.

Write and submit information about seawater in a book.

You can’t send just two people, so at least five people should come together.

Safety is the top priority, and if casualties occur, stop immediately.

These are all practical decisions.

We headed straight to the kitchen at the Jungmun headquarters.

“It smells delicious.”

“This place is run directly by the head of the Jungmun kitchen. He has the ability to make you forget about your family’s taste.”

Director Yang Yang’s voice, which has always been blunt, comes out softly.

The cook was Hosott.

He was a man, with the same golden age as Shir and a heavy build.

The impression was docile.

“Huh? Yuon?”

“Give me some food.”

“Go to your cooking club and eat.”

The head of the kitchen said so, but took the food tray from the head of the training camp.

The face is full of joy.

Soon, the cook came out with a large plate filled with meat.

─With someone.

“The commander of Jungmun said that there is someone in the kitchen who steals food ingredients.”

“Ah! Did you hear that too?!”

“You mean you. You pig. Stop skipping.”

“Not me! No, the meat disappears by itself?!”

The head of the kitchen and the head of the training center are flirting.

The cook foreman was not the culprit.

Because right now, there was a gourmet in front of me eating the chicken leg that was on my plate.

“They clearly set the correct amount for each plate…”

“I don’t know about that, but why do you serve something you just ate?”

Manager Yang Yang points to a chicken with legs and glares at the head of the kitchen.

It’s not just that you’re eating, someone is eating in real time.

“Huh? uh?! no! Chicken with defects like this is not cooked?!”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurd yet happy face.

A woman who threw away a chicken leg bone while making fun looks up.

“···Huh?”

She froze as her eyes met mine.

Ivory platinum hair and red eyes.

Skin that has turned white due to lack of sunlight.

─Anne.

“Director Yangseong.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I’m going to go to the bathroom quickly.”

“···Come before it gets cold.”

Anne took the plate of food she had eaten, put it down at the nearest place, and quickly ran out of the restaurant.

‘Why is Anne here? why?’

Why are you hiding and eating other people’s precious chicken legs like a devil?

He must have asked Jemmy Dreeker for Anne.

When we arrived at a deserted place, Anne’s head popped out from the wall.

“What are you doing here?”

“Well, that’s the way it is…!”

“If you commit a crime with your powers, you will become a target for priests and dragonians!”

“Yes?! Yes?!”

“Do you want to go to jail for stealing other people’s food?!”

“Ah, no?!!!”

Why is Anne here in the first place?

Anne… was wearing a military uniform. Why is Anne wearing a military uniform?

Of course, there may be only one reason.

“···Did you volunteer to join the military?”

“···Yes.”

“Didn’t you decide to work at Golden Road?”

At Golden Road, anyone can say, ‘I work at Golden Road!’ It is a prestigious top that you can brag about.

It is a ‘large company’ recognized by Pangea.

Why would someone who worked in such a place be here?

Shame appeared in Anne’s eyes.

“That’s because work isn’t as fun as it used to be. It turned out that Golden Road was a place where only military veterans could work.”

It’s an excuse.

Why do you need to make excuses to me?

“Work is not play, is there anything fun in this world? And those who have received the servant’s blessing are not required to serve in the military.”

“Cheer, the first time was fun?! However, I couldn’t prove my abilities to anyone, and I made mistakes and only caused inconvenience…”

This was correct.

So, you couldn’t help but feel guilty and left on your own?

“I didn’t think it would work out the way it was, so I decided to learn and start over. I also received a promise that I would accept it again. But textbooks are expensive, and I don’t have money to live on right now… I’m illiterate, so I can’t even read. Then I received an enlistment notice… and I enlisted.”

Somehow, a picture was drawn in my mind.

Anne hid the fact that she had received the servant’s blessing from the conscript.

“So, you just ate while hiding like a ghost?”

“No, I didn’t eat a lot…”

Anne’s voice gets quieter by the minute.

Why on earth is this person like this since we first met?

“···I guess I ran away from all work and training.”

When I spoke in a calm tone, Anne, who was only looking at me, burst into laughter.

“Yes. Just take the roll call… and just run away.”

Because everyone forgets Anne anyway.

‘I’m a little envious of this.’

The disappearance of existence can be used medicinally in this way.

Red eyes glance at my face, and my lips open.

“···But why is Lee here? There is no need for someone like Lee to be here.”

“It’s a personal matter. And now we have to go in and eat.”

Anne came right next to me and looked at the rank insignia on my chest.

“Huh…? Are you an apprentice engineer? Are you being trained at a training center?”

“Yes.”

“453rd?”

“This is the 452nd unit.”

“Wow! With that nose, maybe you could become my deputy centenarian when dispatched to the front lines?”

Anne approached me without hesitation and rested her head on my shoulder.

In the past, I would have accepted it, but this was the military.

Thanks to this, my body naturally stiffened.

‘I don’t want to be castrated yet.’

“Are you sure it’s not visible to other people?”

“Yes. I polished myself because I was playing around.”

I was glad to see Anne’s human scent, but I was also saddened.

Was I being too insensitive to throw someone away?

“So, do you usually do nothing but eat?”

“Hey, what are you looking at me for?”

Well, I saw him as a glutton in the kitchen.

“So, are you studying for self-development?”

“Yes. First of all, I am learning the Common Language, Horus Language, and Elven Language. The military has all kinds of textbooks. And accounting, finance, management…”

‘That’s crap.’

This means that you only eat and study, but you get paid according to your money.

If it’s mean, it’s mean, but I didn’t mean to blame it.

Because I was the one who created a world in which it was difficult for young children to live.

“Have you decided to go there at all?”

“Yes.”

Anyway, Anne found her way.

When I realized that I had contributed to it, I felt proud.

“You cannot speak inside the restaurant.”

“Chi, I understand.”

I walked inside.

In the kitchen, I could see Director Yang eating at a fairly slow pace.

I guess they eat late on purpose because of me.

I walked over quickly and sat down.

“Eat it while it’s warm. Because the food here is delicious.”

“Are you that good at cooking, chef?”

“You’ll know when you try it.”

“That’s right. The food here is really delicious.”

Anne, sitting next to me, had her arms crossed and was staring at me with her crescent-shaped red eyes.

Those strange, deep red eyes feel strange today.

‘······Let’s eat first.’

He tore off the remaining leg and bit into it.

The cooking team leader’s skills were as good as the training director’s cooking plan.

“It would have been nice if the head of the cooking class had taken charge of the training center’s cooking class.”

“I guess so.”

The cook’s ears flutter in the distance, and he glances in this direction.

yes you

You’re really good at cooking.

Unexpectedly, the meal ended quickly.

As I put it in my mouth, it was already over.

Why do I feel so sad when I see my face reflected in an empty plate?

‘Could it be that they put drugs or something in the rice?’

“Where specifically do you plan to visit?”

“Seawater reacts sensitively to temperature. First, I think it would be a good idea to head south and see the most common seawater and wetland seawater.”

“Chunghyeong?”

“This is a general term for crustaceans and insects. It is not easy to see intelligent things.”

“···Am I being hunted?”

“Yes. The fact that it appeared to people did not mean that people discovered the seawater, but that the seawater discovered people. All carnivores that can be harmful to humans, such as grunts, cockatrices, paasas, giant eagles, and land octopuses, reign as losers in an area.”

“···Okay. However, this was not in the original training schedule. There will be people who refuse, so what do you plan to do?”

“Right now, we are in the recovery period, and the southern jungle is a dangerous place. So, I will take this into account and only take applicants. The rest will be taught separately in theory.”

“I understand. So that you can organize and report the things you need to take care of by today.”

“Okay.”

Anne followed me like a chick.

···Even to the knight training center.

“You had a hard time today. Go in and get plenty of rest.”

“Yes.”

When I saw the back of the benign intestine moving away, my heart began to feel heavy.

‘Are there any applicants?’

I rolled around in the mountains for a month.

Then they came back, and this time they crossed the barrier in one day and went to capture or observe seawater?

─This is crazy.

But it was necessary.

When I open the door, I see the head of a 24-year-old sleeping as if he was lying down.

The one missing head was, of course, Isabel.

‘Let’s look for it separately.’

It is unknown what Isabelle does.

But nothing good will happen if you become distant. He is physically perfect and positive in everything he does.

‘It would be good to build a relationship somehow.’

“Wow, do drivers usually take naps during work hours?”

“I’ve been rolling around in the mountains for a whole month. This is a small reward.”

In Hwian’s case, his ligaments ruptured, so he had to take the medicine I gave him. Even though it was the medicine I gave him, he looked at me with such resentment…

I quietly closed the door and headed towards where Isabelle was likely to be.

Isabel doesn’t need to do physical training.

Thanks to this, she was always studying theory, and all she needed was experience.

‘Then it will be at the parade ground.’

I left the office first.

“Me.”

Anne suddenly broke through the wall and caught people’s attention with footsteps that seemed like they had been seen before.

Unlike the light, rustling footsteps, there is no sound.

“I think I like Lee.”

“I knew it.”

Red eyes glared at me.

“···Really?”

“Yes.”

But even for a moment.

Anne leaned on me again.

” When I think about it, I think I have a natural kleptomania.”

“···Is it kleptomania?”

“I steal other people’s things without even realizing it. Seeing people get embarrassed is also fun in its own way.”

Anne’s words were sincere.

“It’s a bad habit.”

“What do you think? No one knows anyway.”

Anne looks up at me.

They looked like they were trying to see if I was alive, but they didn’t notice anything.

“···I think it’s too late to live in general.”

“Can’t we overcome aging?”

“What if I overcome it?”

‘What if we overcome aging?’

This is my first time hearing this.

Having a lot of time means having a lot of resources.

But Anne just smiled bitterly.

“Even if I overcome it, there is no use for it.”

It was a sound that would cause outrage if anyone heard it.

But I don’t know if he was serious, but his red eyes were staring at me intently.

“As I said before, I am dating someone.”

“The person I’m dating is someone I can’t see.”

That’s because you don’t know how cruel my relationship with women is.

It is not good for Anne to torture hope like this in the first place.

“I will speak directly and bluntly. I have no thoughts.”

As soon as she spoke, Anne’s forehead wrinkled.

What was in his eyes was anger and resentment.

“Why, why?!”

“I’m dating someone.”

“What kind of person are you dating if you can’t be with someone for several years?! Did you have a soul wedding?!”

“Dwin?”

Isabelle was walking from the parade ground.

He must have been the last to wash, so he was wearing simple attire and a towel around his neck. I’m holding my shoes in one hand.

“I was looking for it.”

“Me?”

“Profit!”

“Yes. It’s no different…”

“Please answer me! Why can that person work and I can’t?!”

Anne clearly misunderstands something…

“···Who is the person next to you and is he here?”

“······.”

Isabelle looked Anne up and down with an awkward expression.

─Looking at Anne.

why? why? How does it look?

Did Anne lose control of her powers because she lost her temper?

Anne… was as frozen as a stone in embarrassment.

“Uh, how…!”

“Soldier? Why is the soldier here? Dewin, who is that person here?”

“···He is an acquaintance of mine.”

“Yes? Why are you bringing your friend here?”

How can you see that person?

Anne took a step back as if she was scared, and eventually ran away into the wall.

“──────?!”

Isabel was so shocked that she stepped back with her eyes wide open.

It felt like my headache was already starting to hurt.

‘How should I fix this?’

I don’t know why it’s visible in the first place.

I had to go into the warehouse to find Anne.

“Hey, what is that?!”

I was as embarrassed as Anne.

Now I felt like I had to figure out Isabelle’s identity somehow.

“···If you don’t reveal my identity, I will take care of the rest.”

I felt like I was going to burst out laughing at the sudden change in Anne’s face as she looked like she had been caught stealing.

‘You were losing your temper just a moment ago.’

Isabelle stood in the middle of the parade ground and looked around, and when she saw me and Anne, she became thoughtful and started to walk backwards.

‘What on earth should I say this time?’

It seems like lies are increasing these days.

“Anne, please wait here first.”
