episode_0409

There was one more chair and one more tableware, but it wasn’t a problem.

Because I usually prepare plenty of rice.

Even if you say it was hard work, all it did was put down one more dish and prepare a few of Lee Ha-sol’s favorite foods.

The rate below is clearly explained as insignificant…

“Wow… ”

Ha Sol Lee, who was sitting down, opened his mouth slightly.

A feast of true blessings. Or a feast of asurasang.

Is there any other expression needed?

Colorful and varied. Even though the boundaries between East and West have become blurred in this world, the types of food on the table were so diverse.

Of course, if you have a force that constantly employs dozens of chefs, this kind of treatment is not impossible.

“Ha-yul… What is this…?”

[Ahem]

But this meal was prepared entirely by Lee Ha-yool.

When the astonished Ha Sol gave her a look, Ha Yul, who had been shaking his butt, opened his chest as if he had been waiting.

An expression overflowing with pride at first glance. The white wings fluttered like a tail. So cute. I wanted to kiss it again.

[How is it? I usually eat like this, but I also tried some of the foods that Lee Ha-sol likes.]

“It’s always like this… ”

[Of course, other people and fairy children also help]

Ihasol glanced at the table with a flustered expression. She was worried that her table legs might break.

Many more of Lee Ha-yool’s merits were added to her mind.

A domestic and cute man…

“Ahem, should I eat Hayul now?”

“Ah, okay.”

When Hong Yeon-hwa turned her gaze to Lee Ha-yool, Lee Ha-yool nodded and turned his gaze to the people around him. Everyone picked up their dishes in response.

“I will eat well.”

Iha Sol-do held the utensils.

She looked down at the side dishes placed in front of her.

The shredded potatoes and bacon were glistening with oil and had a savory aroma.

Stir-fried potato shreds.

It’s not a special dish. It’s easy to make and the taste is guaranteed. It’s one of Ihasol’s favorite side dishes.

I’ve eaten a lot of them… but those stir-fried potatoes looked especially delicious.

“… Wow… ?”

That’s actually true.

No, it was more than that.

Hasol shook his shoulders as the taste of the crunchy potatoes melted on his tongue.

‘Why, why is it so delicious?’

It looked pleasing to the eye and I thought it would taste good, but it was just fried potatoes and it was much tastier than I imagined…

‘It’s much more delicious than what I made.’

Even if you think about it objectively, there is no comparison.

Ihasol learned how to cook.

Who is it because of?

I think that even though no one has a sense of taste, if you somehow solve the problem or pass on various foods, there might be a solution.

But who cooks better than Ha-sol? Ha-sol’s eyelids fluttered…

“This… ”

[Is it delicious?]

Lee Ha-yool, who was babbling, bit the necklace. When Lee Ha-sol nodded, Lee Ha-yool’s face brightened.

[I’m glad it suits your taste]

[These are potatoes that I grew in Taesan. I also grew edible potatoes in Taesan and squeezed them…]

“Ah, Taesan… ”

The strangely sweet taste made a little sense. Ha-sol looked down at the stir-fried potato slices with strange eyes.

There is no one who does not know the quality of food exported by the Taesan family.

‘It’s so delicious even without considering that…’

Lee Ha-sol, who was shocked, looked at Lee Ha-yul.

Lee Ha-yool, biting his spoon and licking his lips. He looks so cute, but you can see a subtle dissatisfaction in his expression.

I don’t understand how a child with no sense of taste could taste and cook.

‘I raised it like a mountain…’ he said.

There are too many rumors about this interest rate to list them all.

But if you were to name a topic that is pressing in the world today, everyone would pick one.

The three major clans that have established themselves in the Korean Peninsula region.

A frightening disaster, a great sea and a great mountain.

It is said that their unique abilities were expressed in one body.

Of course, it was treated as nonsense.

Why? There is no need to think about it. It is just the way the world works. The rumors that arose from this incident were trampled and disappeared in an instant.

The same rumor circulated again.

Of course, everyone thought it would be buried and treated as a conspiracy theory or nonsense.

But the source of the rumor is the second-year students of Shiyoram. And that too at the time when they finished their entrance exam with Mak Ha-yool.

As the bewildered forces listened, Lee Ha-yool started to use the words “Gyeophwa,” “Changhae,” and “Taesan” openly, as if he had nothing to hide.

That’s how the world was turned upside down.

“Yum… ”

But the person who turned the world upside down and the mansion looked peaceful.

“… … ”

As I watch Lee Ha-yool, who is mechanically chewing on food as if he is chewing on a rubber band, my face starts to sting.

Lee Ha-sol turned her head slightly.

People sitting around a round table. Everyone except one is a woman… If you look at their appearance, they are all beautiful.

Their gaze is focused on Ihasol.

It wasn’t difficult to read the emotions mixed in some of the gazes.

Vigilance and curiosity.

‘hmm.’

It’s something to be expected.

They are the masters of Daera. It is natural for them to be wary of Ha-sol, who came in and sat down at the table.

“How was the last time you came in?”

It wasn’t just a wariness. Elia smiled brightly and spoke to Ihasol. Ihasol also smiled and answered.

“The first-year entrance exam was no different from what was known. Living and competing in the forest for five days.”

“Aha? Well, we also played by the same rules… Oh, didn’t you say that the boss is different for each rider? What kind of monster was it this time?”

“It was a 6th-tier scorpion, but since it was an alpha and the environment was right for it, its health and stamina were amazing. So I waited for it to lose health and then sniped it from afar.”

“Ah! That! How did I manage to shed my outer skin while being watched from all sides!”

“Thanks to you, I got the score easily. Thank you?”

“Ao shit.”

“Hehehe. Ah, the spirits were powerful back then. They helped me with sensing and reconnaissance for five days, and they were especially helpful in changing the trajectory. ”

“Thank goodness I learned it well.”

“Thanks to Professor Riana who taught me so well.”

Elia started talking friendly, and Era naturally joined in on the topic. Rihanna, who had a reason to express her gratitude, also joined in the conversation.

They are all people who have continued the same path as Iha Sol.

As the beginning continued peacefully, the tense atmosphere began to lighten considerably.

‘What should I do, I guess we should become friends.’

Are you going to stand in opposition to them? I don’t want to, but it’s not good either way.

‘Because they are all people who value Harul.’

There are many reasons, but this is the biggest one.

It is also a cool-headed judgment.

Ha-sol Lee, a lover from the orphanage who has now lost her memories of the past.

Those who meet in the cradle, build relationships, are called masters, and are even called queens by the fairies.

Which relationship is deeper and more precious to Lee Ha-yul?

There was no need to ask.

Besides, Ha-sol Lee is a person who is destined to be reunited. From their perspective, he is no different from a stone rolling in.

If such a thing happens and Ihasol clashes with an existing, precious relationship… you can never expect a good result.

‘then…’

With that thought in mind, Ha Sol turned his head.

There are four people who haven’t become close friends yet.

Hong Yeon-hwa, Baek A-rin, Lee Ji-yeon, and Artrada.

Three of them are the successors of the three great families, and the other one is a top-level hero who has demonstrated incredible skills in the Demonic Realm Front and the Il-an-sa-tae.

‘They’re all big fish.’

It’s just absurd to have such people as your master.

Of course, he didn’t show such feelings. Ha Sol smiled and turned his gaze away.

The first target was Baek A-rin.

Successor of the Sea. I’ve heard a lot of rumors about her.

A versatile beauty, skilled in both literature and martial arts. A woman with outstanding looks and personality.

Baek A-rin has been famous in social circles since she was young. Unlike Hong Yeon-hwa, she has a positive perception.

We also have something in common, which is that we are both top students in the admissions process. I was thinking of opening up a conversation about that.

“Hello… ”

“Eliminated!”

“Yes?”

That was what I was thinking. The moment our eyes met and I opened my mouth, Baek A-rin swallowed her rice and pointed her finger at me.

Everyone blinked at the sudden shout.

However, Baek A-rin shouted again with her eyes wide open and exaggerated.

“There are still too many! You want to have competition here again? I can’t allow it!”

“Already… crazy bitch.”

“Arin? What do you mean… ”

Hong Yeon-hwa spat out with a face of shock at the unfiltered restraint, and Lee Ji-yeon looked back at Baek A-rin in surprise.

“Ah! I don’t know!”

Regardless, Baek A-rin shook her head from side to side.

“Just now, Ha-Yul-ssi Chang-Hae-Man hasn’t properly expressed himself! This is discrimination! Why are you discriminating against Chang-Hae-Man? Are you treating him like this because he’s a northern, remote, foreign power?”

[That can’t be…]

[I practice hard every day even in Changhae]

“But I can’t hear the results! If this continues, won’t I be able to express myself before the meeting?”

[That… I don’t know…]

“Why aren’t you sure there! This is discrimination! It’s still like that now! Why did you do it to everyone around you! No matter how much of a reason there is, I’m the only one who’s not getting kissed─woof, woof woof!“

“What are you talking about while eating, Arin…!”

Baek A-rin’s mouth was blocked by the flagship, Han Ji-yeon.

.

.

.

“I ate well… ”

Lee Ha-yool, who had swallowed all of the rice cake soup, put down the utensil. Although he had clearly eaten a lot, he looked somewhat dissatisfied.

A little bit away.

Ha Sol Lee, who was sitting on the sofa with others and sharing a friendly conversation, nodded while eating the apple slices the fairies had given her for dessert.

That was natural, since he had neither taste nor smell.

‘Even though the eyes and voice have been partially resolved, the sense of smell and taste have not been resolved.’

The solution that the necklace came up with was also strange in the first place.

Kiss? Kiss? Do you open your eyes and make a voice when you do that? You’re not like a princess in a fairy tale…

“Ha-yul, have you eaten everything?”

That was when I was thinking like that.

Hong Yeon-hwa put her arm on the back of the chair that Lee Ha-yool was sitting on. Then, Lee Ha-yool’s slightly pouty face brightened up in an instant.

“Yes! I ate it all.”

A truly blatant change. Ha-sol Lee, who had been observing Ha-yul Lee, opened her eyes wide.

“Really? Did you eat until you were full?”

Hong Yeon-hwa tilted her head and touched the necklace of confession.

“Yes, I enjoyed it.”

[affirmation]

“… I’m glad I ate my fill. Then shall I go up for a bit?”

“Okay! Okay! ”

Lee Ha-ryul stood up from his seat and nodded his head.

The floating dishes headed towards the kitchen on their own, and Hong Yeon-hwa, holding Lee Ha-yool’s hand, turned around.

And then I met eyes with Ha-sol. Hong Yeon-hwa’s shoulders trembled as she naturally headed up the stairs.

“… You’re going up. Are you already in bed?”

“No, that’s not it. Well… I have something to talk about.”

Hong Yeon-hwa rolled her eyes for a moment and replied.

It wasn’t an exact answer. Hong Yeon-hwa, who was giving a vague answer, led Lee Ha-yool upstairs.

‘…what?’

Hong Yeon-hwa, who acts familiarly. Lee Ha-yool, who is obviously in love with her.

Lee Ha-sol raised a question mark above her head.

.

.

.

Lee Ha-yul eats a lot of rice.

This is a natural story for a superhuman who uses his body aggressively.

If we look at it that way, Lee Ha-yool was actually on the low side.

But these days are different. These days, Lee Ha-yul eats eight meals a day.

Three meals a day, munching on simple meals.

And I eat three to five meals a day with food given to me by those around me…

“… Phew.”

The night Ihasol came to the mansion.

The one who wanted to hold Lee Ha-yul in her arms that day was Hong Yeon-hwa.

A dark room. Hong Yeon-hwa, who was shaking his shoulder, carefully stroked Lee Ha-yool’s hair that was wriggling in her arms.

Lee Ha-yul ate well even at night. Although he was asleep, he would eat eagerly and munched when you put food in his mouth.

‘I was worried that I would burst because I ate so much…’

Fortunately, that didn’t happen.

Hong Yeon-hwa caressed Lee Ha-yul’s lower abdomen with her eyes narrowed.

It puffed up cutely, but it quickly sank. It’s amazing how he can eat so much with such a small body.

“Bam, bam… ”

“Yeah… Right… ”

But it’s not really something you can feed them all night. You feed them just enough to satisfy them and then take them away.

Fortunately, he seemed satisfied, and after a brief period of comforting and soothing, he came into my arms with a happy face and stopped whining.

“… … .”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s expression became complicated. The questions floating around in her head were too complicated and numerous.

delicious?

When asked like that, Lee Ha-yool always answers indirectly by saying that it wasn’t delicious, but rather that he was full or that he ate a lot.

‘… And that too.’

A bigger and more important question. Hong Yeon-hwa narrowed her eyebrows and lowered her gaze.

I couldn’t see Lee Ha-yool’s face because it was buried in my chest. But I could feel the texture of the necklace buried nearby.

Necklace of confession.

I don’t know if it had such a function in the first place, but… when Lee Ha-yool’s consciousness falls into a deep sleep, it answers questions in detail even if the user is not conscious.

A few months ago, I remembered the mechanical answer from the necklace I had heard one night.

‘It was definitely a mask.’

This is about the disaster that occurred recently.

The reason it’s so confusing is because I heard that answer before this happened.

That necklace belongs to Lee Ha-yul. In other words, it is information that Lee Ha-yul knew.

Lee Ha-yul knew about this and tried to stop it.

‘What’s the episode?’

There was other content too.

I didn’t touch on the incident behind the scenes. I talked about 12 cases like this, one after another.

In that case, there was an explanation of whether the suppression was successful, failed, or used, and what the aftermath was.

Doesn’t that have the nuance of having experienced it firsthand?

‘… the top players.’

The tower of growth.

A subject that has been silent for decades, Lee Ha-yool was brought in as a special admission student to the school.

Tower of Knowledge.

The Tower Lord, whose existence is unknown to many, is said to have been brought into the Tower of Knowledge and even taught magic.

The tower of space and harmony.

The association’s favoritism toward lower interest rates is widely known.

In this case, the association even went so far as to deploy its punitive force and defense force in advance.

Observation tower pillar.

Even before we could request support from the observatory, they sent us massive support. They even went as far as to take away an entire observation device.

Also, I saw the tower of the past space in this entrance… Something about the attitude towards Lee Ha-yul seemed strange.

Worry, concern, guilt, hope, longing.

Are they expecting something from Lee Ha-yul, who was admitted as a special admission student to Shiyoram?

Is that why Lee Ha-yul is so obsessed with power? Is that why he suffers without sparing his body for it?

For example, as if this backlash had been prevented.

“Tsk.”

My head is in a mess every night. It’s not like I’m going somewhere and talking nonsense, so it makes me even more dizzy.

Is this something I should ask Lee Ha-yool directly? That’s true, but… I don’t trust him, and I’m afraid to ask him for fear of a curse being placed on him.

“Oh my, why does this child have so many stories… ”

In the end, I was just worried tonight and couldn’t figure out or deduce anything.

Hong Yeon-hwa shook her head, patted Lee Ha-yul on the back, and closed her eyes.

.

.

.

-Slurp!

I opened my eyes.

A secret presence. No, it’s different. But it’s still difficult to sense the presence.

The sound reached Lee Ha-yool right in front of him.

Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been embracing Lee Ha-yul tightly, raised her hand at the same time.

Hwaruk! A fireball formed in her hand. The dark room suddenly became bright. Hong Yeonhwa ran toward the sound and threw the fireball─

-Sway sway!

“What is it?”

─He stopped his hand just before he could do it. Hong Yeon-hwa blinked at the shadows moving left and right in a hurry.

The thing that created the shadow in the fire was… a tree.

To be exact, it’s a thin tree branch.

The branch was carefully wrapped around Lee Ha-yool’s waist and he was trying to drag her down.

“What the fuck are you?”

I was going to just burn it, but I didn’t feel any malice. Rather, I felt pure, unadulterated goodness.

Come to think of it, Lee Ha-yool is someone who no one dares to follow in terms of detection, but he is sleeping soundly even though a tree branch is wrapped around his waist.

I feel like I’m just hanging on to a tree branch.

Hong Yeon-hwa, who was confused and alert at the same time, looked around to see where the tree branches swaying left and right came from.

It was a window. Tree branches were rustling in through the open window.

A window entangled with unidentified, top-level magic… but…?

“… … ”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes, which had been narrowing the space between her eyebrows, opened blankly.

The tree branches that came in through the small window were stretched far into the distance.

A fairy tree that rose up in the middle of a wide field. It was a place where tree branches were connected.

“What a strange year, and now even the trees are acting up… ”

Hong Yeon-hwa shook her head, letting out a hollow laugh.
