I was fidgeting with my hands while sitting on the soft sofa.

Inside the quiet room.

Unlike the snow pouring down outside, the room was not that cool.

On the coat rack next to the window hung two black fur cloaks.

“I apologize for suddenly requesting a meeting.”

The voice coming from the other side was the same.

I looked at the man sitting on the sofa across from me.

Her light blue hair is tied back and hangs down her back, and her eyes looking this way are also a clear blue.

I am also used to being caught up in the atmosphere.

The uniqueness of having both a cool and gentle atmosphere. However, the scale of the uniqueness is extremely vast.

Baekwolseon.

A superhuman who is known as the lord of the sea and also known as the world’s best ice tiger.

Above all, he is the person who becomes Baek A-rin’s father.

“It is not right to come here to greet a distinguished guest who has come a long way, but due to my own circumstances, I have decided to risk being rude.”

The man, Baek Wol-seon, put down the teacup he had taken a sip of from and bowed his head slightly.

I quickly waved my hands, which I had politely placed on my knees.

[No, I would rather like to express my gratitude for the facilities you readily provided and the pleasant time you had.]

“Well, I’m glad you had a good time.”

Baekwolseon nodded calmly, saying, “Thank goodness.” She put her hands on her knees again and bowed her head slightly.

[If it’s not rude, I hope you can speak comfortably…]

“How can I speak lightly to the head of the association?”

[This is something I said to Kim Yu-yeon earlier, but please do not think of me as the acting president of the association, but as a student of Siyoram and a friend of Baek A-rin.]

“Hmm.”

Baekwolseon, who had been shaking his head rather resolutely, looked at me.

As I swallowed hard and straightened my back, Baekwolseon, who had been staring at me for a while, narrowed his eyebrows.

“I still don’t know. Even though it’s right in front of me, I can’t feel the momentum of the creation.”

[Because my constitution is a bit unique, my momentum doesn’t show until it manifests]

He raised his hand on the table and generated magical power. The magical power of the sea that had undergone homogenization rose up.

Along with it, the uniqueness of the creation spread.

“Uhh… ”

The water and cold air drew a circle. Baekwolseon let out a sigh of relief at the sight of two snakes swallowing each other’s tails.

Kim Yu-yeon, sitting next to him, also opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with her hand.

… I straightened my back more carefully while keeping an eye on Kim Yu-yeon’s expression.

-[Removed]

-…yes?

The slip of the tongue that just happened in the hallway… Or rather, did it leak out?

Kim Yu-yeon’s bewildered reaction was observed in detail and stored as knowledge, lingering in my head…

‘This necklace is so precious.’

I didn’t dare to insult the gift Elia had given me, but I couldn’t stop feeling resentful.

From the first incident where I exclaimed in admiration at Baek A-rin’s breasts, to the slip of the tongue just now.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been in trouble because of this necklace.

‘It wasn’t like this at first.’

The first accident was due to internal medicine. It was a time when I was immature in controlling it.

But it’s a bit strange that it’s been like this until now.

Of course, you can’t control a single mid- to low-level artifact with the skill to stably eat up to three types of circuits?

‘How change happens.’

Is it because their unique abilities and physique are so special?

I know that the artifact that receives my magic power shows changes.

The most representative one is the Sky Wings Feather.

Of course, the purification I received from Ariel, and the proof of protection that has now melted into me, were not dramatic, but there were positive changes.

There hasn’t been any dramatic change in the necklace of confession yet…

“Indeed, thank you for showing me… I see. Even when I see it with my own eyes, I feel like my emotions are being teased.”

[Yes, yes]

The magic power was poured into the road. As the homogenization ended, the uniqueness of the creation also disappeared.

Baekwolseon was surprised again for a moment, then let out a small breath and opened his mouth.

“I will speak as you requested. The reason I wanted to borrow your time is to first tell you the schedule for the meeting in advance. ”

[Yes, I will listen]

“… You told me to speak easily, but you speak with difficulty? ”

[Huh…?]

“What, don’t think about age. What’s the big deal about ten years between superhumans?”

Baekwolseon shrugged his shoulders, smiling.

“More than anything, I don’t care about status… but it seems like I have the power. If you look at it from my perspective, shouldn’t I be the one to show respect?”

[How could that be…]

This is an extremely difficult question.

You must be joking, right? But even if you were joking, it would be difficult to respond.

Of course, if you consider the natural lifespan of a superhuman, ten years is not a big difference.

But doesn’t that mean I can’t speak to Baek A-rin’s parents in a humble manner?

-Kuk

It was while I was thinking like that and observing the situation.

Kim Yu-yeon glanced to the side and secretly moved her hands under the table.

Slender fingers pressed Baekwolseon’s thigh.

At the same time, a line of electricity passed between the two.

-Why are you bullying this innocent child?

-Bullying you? I just wanted to talk to each other comfortably… Aaaah! Sorry! Don’t use strong language!

Magic gathered in Kim Yu-yeon’s fingers as she raised her eyebrows slightly.

A very weak magical power that is difficult to detect.

However, Baekwolseon, who felt it clearly as it was touching his body, was frightened and grabbed the finger gently.

Only then did Kim Yu-yeon let out a small smile and lower her head.

“We apologize for any inconvenience.”

[no…]

I observed the scolding under the table and waved both hands to hide my expression.

“Ahem, the members of Gyeophwa and Taesan are expected to arrive within a few days.”

After a while, Baekwolseon continued speaking, gently wiping away the part that was pressed by his finger.

“The meeting will begin after everyone arrives, rests for a while, and prepares. The main topic of the meeting, as you know, is the unique abilities you have displayed. ”

I straightened my posture as the serious content that had just begun began.

“Of course you have already proven it to be more than enough, but this time we will gather together and confirm it for ourselves.“

[yes]

“The method of confirmation will probably be a duel.”

This is something that was already expected.

Gatherings between the three generations of the family are actually quite common. Although such large-scale gatherings are not uncommon, since they are gatherings, it would be nice to create an atmosphere of harmony.

And the most representative method of superhuman harmony is sparring, where they test each other’s skills.

[No problem.]

In the past, I would have been nervous, but now that I have gained a lot of skill, it is no problem.

Baekwolseon chuckled at my confident answer.

“It’s nice to see your confident appearance.”

[thank you]

“Well, that’s all I wanted to say in advance. The employee will tell you the additional schedule right away, and the real schedule will be decided at the meeting. ”

It means that you should know this in advance before the meeting. But isn’t this information something that can be conveyed through an employee?

“… Now this is a personal question… ”

It was around the time that such thoughts came to mind.

Suddenly Baekwolseon folded his hands and rested his elbows on the table.

His eyes, which had become more serious than before, pierced through me.

“What is your relationship with our daughter?”

come.

Baekwolseon straightened his back at the expected question and continued speaking.

“I heard the news from last year. They were so close in the cradle that it hurt my ears.”

[Yes… As you said, I have been receiving great help from Baek A-rin since last year.]

“I see. But at the end of last year, didn’t your precious son suddenly lead the troops and go into the middle of a dangerous disaster?”

Oh my.

“I wondered why… It turned out that he had to save his one and only, very, precious person.”

-after

The breath he exhales as he finishes speaking. It is mixed with heat, unlike the expression of the creator.

I nodded without hesitation.

[… I received a favor that is really hard to repay. Thanks to that help, I was able to be safe. Thank you very much.]

“What. I heard that the help that my family received from you is hard to count. That… A unique weapon specialized in the sea? ”

[Oh, this is it]

I quickly took out the blueprint from the space and placed it on the table.

Baekwolseon blinked at the incredibly thick book.

“Hmm… I’m not good at making things, so even though I can’t recognize it… ”

[The finished product is like this]

As if he had been waiting, he briefly took off a strand of his wing clothing.

The round, gathered wings were combed into a long, pointed shape.

Ice-white and blue. Baekwolseon’s eyes sparkled at the wind blowing from there.

“Can I touch it for a moment?”

[Of course]

The floating spear went up onto the table. Baekwolseon held the spear gently.

-Woooow!

The window responded to the sea and let out a sound. A cold and gentle breeze rose as if wrapping around the window.

“… Indeed, it really is a weapon like a beacon sword.”

Baekwolseon, who had been caressing the window for a moment, nodded heavily while looking at the Bonghwageom leaning against my sofa.

“Even this weapon alone is of immeasurable help.”

[Actually the manufactured one has lower performance than that]

“Even based on him, if the function is preserved, it is still a huge treasure.”

I looked back at the road, shaking my head as I gazed at the cold, blue sky.

The eyes had become more positive than before.

“You have received a precious treasure. To create such a treasure, even the great rumors were only a part of it.”

[…!thank you]

[delight]

I lowered my head and bit the corners of my lips at the reaction I had been hoping for.

The reason I made that gift in the first place was as a bribe to create this kind of favor.

The purpose has been accomplished.

“… Anyway, my daughter said something weird during the last tournament… Die, you rascal? ”

‘omg.’

“Among the rumors about you, there are countless rumors about your relationships with women… ”

[omg…]

There was nothing to refute. As he shut his mouth tightly, Baekwolseon’s eyes became sharp as ice.

“… Uriah─”

“Your Majesty, aren’t you holding on to the VIP who just arrived too much?”

That was when.

Kim Yu-yeon, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly lightly brushed Baek Wol-seon’s hand away.

Baekwolseon’s words were cut off by the unexpected support.

“I’ve already told you the important things, so how about we talk about the small stuff later?”

“Ugh… ”

Baekwolseon let out a sigh at the soothing words.

Baekwolseon, who had been nodding her head, bowed her head to me.

“… That’s right. I wasted my time recovering from the poison. I apologize. ”

[No, it’s not]

[It was a really helpful time]

I waved both hands toward the Baekwolseon and turned my head slightly toward Kim Yu-yeon.

“Thank you for your valuable time.”

Kim Yu-yeon smiled faintly and waved her hand.

‘A kind person.’

I was so moved by the situation.

Even though I made a slip of the tongue in the hallway, you still took care of me…

[I am the one who should be grateful]

I bowed my head to Kim Yu-yeon.

***

From the moment it was selected as the conference venue, the forces of Changhae lingered in Seolgyeong.

This is to provide manpower for preparations for the meeting, as well as to strengthen security in the area.

“Miss! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face!”

The facilities of the main house built in the center of Seolgyeong.

Baek A-rin, who was exchanging greetings with the members of the family staying there, turned her head at the welcoming voice.

A woman approached me, waving one hand.

Light blue hair and eyes, which are also evidence of the manifestation of the creation. The black fur cloak draped over the shoulders stands out.

Baek A-rin responded with a smile.

“When did you come, Sister Yulim!”

“Ahaha, sorry. I had to do some engraving work for a moment… ”

When Baek Yu-rim, the woman who had come running, smiled awkwardly, Baek A-rin shook her head.

“What are you apologizing for? It’s not like you’re busy. I heard you’re going on a maritime expedition soon? ”

“Yes, yes, since it seems like it will be difficult to completely subdue the sea, we plan to go out regularly during the talks.”

The Changpa Unit, a branch of the Changhae family that specializes in watercraft.

Among them, the person with the highest level of skill, Changpaju, is Han Ga-roulli.

Above all, Changpaju has had many magicians for generations.

The reason for this is that the free and obedient handwriting made it easy to manipulate magical power.

This is a great magician who has reached the level of the Baek Yu Rim Do Magician of Daei Dae.

The black fur cloak that Baek A-rin is currently wearing is also a magic tool with Baek Yu-rim’s hand surgery technique engraved on it.

“… Ah! That’s right! ”

“Yes?”

Baek A-rin clapped her hands as her thoughts reached that point.

As Baek Yu-rim blinked her large eyes, Baek A-rin pointed to the fur cloak she was wearing.

“Could you please make me one more cloak?”

“A cloak?”

Baek Yu-rim tilted her head and then looked at the cloak Baek A-rin was wearing with concern.

“Is there anything wrong? If so, I am truly sorry. I will adjust it immediately… ”

“No, no, there is no problem at all. Rather, I am using it with great satisfaction!”

Baek A-rin, who shook her head from side to side, raised one hand.

“But I need one more. It’s enough for one person… ”

A question mark appeared in Baek Yu-rim’s head as he was about to apologize, wondering if there was a defect in the cloak.

A hand pointing to the chest.

Even considering Baek A-rin’s height, it’s still a small size. At least, it’s small enough for me to wear…?

“… Ah!”

Small size.

At that thought, Baek Yu-rim opened her eyes wide.

That person who knows no matter how hard of hearing you are.

Also, he is the one who held this huge meeting.

The person who is rumored to be in a deep relationship with Baek A-rin is also rumored to have a petite body that is good to hug.

“Yes! I will prepare with all my heart from now on!”

“Thank you.”

When Baek Yu-rim, who had finished making her decision, spoke with strength, Baek A-rin also nodded her head in satisfaction.
