Chapter Index

    The moment Shine regained all her memories, the black beast also regained his own.

    Finally, finally, we’ve arrived.

    The time has come for the long wait to end.

    Even the dishes have been prepared.

    It couldn’t be more perfect.

    The black beast burst into laughter.

    A huge laugh burst out, almost tearing his big mouth apart.

    As if responding to that laughter, the Black Palace shook.

    Kukuguguguggeuung-!

    Shine took her hands off Kelly’s, or rather, the girl who was now Lily, right after all the work was done.

    I made a few mistakes along the way and ended up being a bit dumbfounded, but anyway, the important work was completed.

    Now this girl will recognize herself as Lily.

    Shine rose from her seat.

    It took time for Lily to wake up.

    I needed to do something else to pass the time until my complicated head cleared up.

    At that moment, Shine realized that her body was moving on its own.

    But I didn’t refuse.

    There was something important where her body was headed.

    much?

    What is that?

    Shine searched through her memories.

    But it doesn’t come to mind.

    I just vaguely knew that there was something important here.

    To satisfy her curiosity, Shine simply left her body alone.

    Shine’s body, which was walking towards the wall, raised her hand at some point and split the wall in front of her.

    The path revealed in this way led to another small room.

    Shine’s body walked towards it.

    The road wasn’t long, so Shine was able to reach the room in no time.

    A small, not very spacious room.

    A black chair in the middle, and a black bead floating in front of it.

    Shine felt an instinctive aversion to the beads.

    At that moment, Shine’s body and mind, which were trying to approach the marble, collided.

    Shine stepped back in an instant.

    As Shine stepped back, a black beast appeared behind her.

    Shine glared at the black beast.

    Dare I try to move my body as I please?

    The black beast grabbed Shine.

    It started growling as if it was telling me to go towards that bead.

    But Shine didn’t react.

    Control of her body is completely in her hands.

    She didn’t move.

    I stared at the black beast silently.

    At that moment, the black beast could realize that the connection between itself and Shine was fading.

    It was the moment when the black beast became anxious.

    He moved quickly and wrapped himself around Shine’s body.

    “This, this is…!”

    The connection that had been fading away begins to become clearer.

    The black beast was trying to connect with force.

    As control of her body gradually shifted, Shine spread her wings.

    Ppaang-!

    With great force, the black beast is thrown away.

    Shine gasped and glared at the black beast.

    The guy I thought was my strength was harboring suspicious thoughts.

    The black beast was not embarrassed.

    The power that Shine uses is simply a power that flows from within herself.

    If the force is strong, you can just take it back.

    As the black beast spreads its wings, the wings that had sprouted from Shine’s back begin to fall off one by one.

    It was a shame that he couldn’t take it, but with this, Shine’s power disappeared.

    Shine was confused as she watched her wings disappear.

    The power that I always swung like a sword became abnormal.

    She quickly opened the book.

    The contents of the book were constantly changing.

    [The black beast gathered its strength.]

    The wings disappeared and the book began to blur.

    It was natural.

    This book, too, was the power of the black beast.

    Shine became an ordinary girl in an instant.

    [The black beast looked at the bowl and laughed.]

    [I thought everything was ready.]

    [The black beast reached out towards the bowl.]

    The contents of the book are constantly updated.

    Shine turned around, throwing down the book she was holding.

    The moment the black beast completely withdrew its power, the connection with her was as good as broken.

    However, the body of an ordinary girl could not escape from the black beast.

    The open path closed, and the small room became a completely sealed room.

    Shine was hanging on the blocked wall, glaring at the black beast.

    The black beast did not stop Shine.

    It is your own precious vessel.

    Even with the use of force, it was nearly impossible to find a vessel of this quality again in good condition.

    So, you shouldn’t get hurt.

    The black beast reached out his hand once again.

    But Shine didn’t take his hand.

    The black beast was hungry.

    Now that I was free from the white guy, this was my chance.

    The black beast knew very well that if he missed this moment, he would never have another chance.

    ***

    Lily sat up blankly.

    I looked around and it was a familiar room.

    A room, your own room, no, someone else’s room…

    Lily grabbed her head.

    For some reason, I felt stupid.

    “Ouch!”

    Lily jumped up from her seat in surprise.

    There was no time to do this.

    I had to go find Jeff Yang.

    Little, cute Jeff was clearly lost and crying.

    The last command Shine had engraved, to find Jeff, was absolutely effective on Lily.

    Lily quickly moved her short legs and left the room.

    “Heh heh heh…”

    Is it because I didn’t train?

    Lily ran for a while and then stopped, panting.

    Lean against the wall, rest for a bit, then run again.

    But I couldn’t run for long.

    If you run for a bit, you should give your stomach a rest.

    “Heeeek…”

    Lily frowned.

    It was so hard.

    But I can’t stop.

    I have to go find Jeff Yang.

    It was up to her, as the older sister, to take care of Miss Jeff.

    Lily bit her lip and stroked the wall of the Black Palace.

    “Please tell me the fastest way to Jeff Yang.”

    But the Black Palace did not answer.

    Lily tilted her head.

    It was the Heukyeonggung Palace that always listened to my requests.

    But now, it doesn’t even react.

    Why is that so?

    Could it be that something went wrong at the Black Palace?

    Lily rummaged through her pockets, caressing the black bow sadly.

    What she took out of her pocket was ointment for the wound.

    An ointment that makes the pain go away when you apply it when you are sick.

    Lily applied it to the walls of the Black Palace.

    But the Black Palace didn’t answer this time either.

    Lily frowned.

    At that moment, the Black Palace shook violently.

    Kugugugung-!

    Lily was so surprised that she dropped the ointment.

    It was as if the Black Archer was angry at him.

    Did you get angry because I applied ointment?

    Lily took a handkerchief out of her pocket and wiped the ointment-covered wall clean.

    Kugugung-!

    Still, the Black Palace was angry.

    Lily, who had been wandering around, started to run around in confusion.

    Rather than worrying about Black Archer getting sick, I had to find Miss Jeff first.

    That was the most important thing to Lily.

    Lily ran.

    Even though I fell and hurt my leg, I kept running.

    I remembered the ointment I had dropped along the way and tears started to flow, but I didn’t stop.

    Rolling down the stairs and falling down alone in a clean hallway.

    It had been quite some time since she had moved with her actual body, rather than with her powers, so Lily was unable to move properly.

    But it didn’t stop.

    “Hehehehe!”

    After running for a long time, Lily was finally able to find the Jeff she was looking for.

    “Jeffyaaang!!!”

    Tadadadot!

    Lily, who was running hard, fell again.

    ***

    I turned my head at the sudden sound of a familiar voice.

    There was Kelly, or rather Lily? A familiar girl running towards her, looking like a mess.

    Tears and snot were running down my cheeks, and I kept falling down before I could run for long.

    “Lee, Lily…?”

    I knew Lily’s true identity.

    There was no girl named Lily, and it was all Kelly’s acting.

    But, the girl approaching me now definitely looked like Lily.

    “Stop…”

    Amy also stopped Lily with a puzzled expression.

    Lily sniffled and made a sad face.

    “Hey, Amy! Shine is looking for Jeff!”

    “Shine…?”

    “Oh, hurry! Hurry up! ”

    Thump thump thump.

    Lily was running around Amy, as if she was in a hurry.

    Amy, taken aback by the action, inadvertently stepped aside.

    At that moment, Lily ran towards me without missing a beat.

    Of course I fell down along the way.

    But Lily bravely got up again and ran to me.

    She came to me and opened her mouth.

    “Jeff!”

    “Kelly…”

    “Kelly is my mother’s name! My name is Lily.”

    I looked puzzled at Lily’s words.

    If this was acting, I wanted to give Kelly a round of applause.

    But Lily was serious.

    He also showed an idiotic side to him that was hard to believe was acting.

    But it was hard to believe.

    “Dude, we have to go quickly! Shine is waiting!”

    “Shine…?”

    I never told Lily and Kelly about my sister, Shine.

    That means that the Lily in front of me now has met Shine separately.

    I crossed my arms and squinted my eyes.

    “How can you believe that you are a lunatic?”

    “Ahh… I… I… I’m Lily!”

    Lily, who had been looking puzzled by my question, shouted with her face turning bright red.

    I stared at Lily without saying anything.

    Yeah, I didn’t feel Kelly.

    This girl was definitely Lily.

    No, that’s what I wanted to believe.

    “What are you going to do?”

    Amy asked me.

    I nodded at her words that she would follow my opinion.

    I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to fool Sam one more time.

    I ran to Amy and clung to her.

    I won’t let my guard down anymore.

    Lane also ran over and hung on to Amy’s other side.

    Amy smiled slightly and picked up Cici, who was lying on the floor.

    “Can you guide me to Shine?”

    “Yes!”

    At my words, Lily smiled happily and started running ahead.

    I opened my mouth blankly, looking at her awkwardly moving her body.

    Lily ran hard.

    I run and run, glance behind me, and catch my breath.

    “Heh… Heh…”

    Lily didn’t stop.

    He followed the path he had come from, making sure we were following along.

    The problem was the stairs.

    Lily had trouble climbing stairs.

    After jumping up a few steps, I had to take a considerable amount of time to rest.

    Lily, who had climbed the last step, was unable to run any further and fell face down on the floor.

    Even as sweat dripped from her forehead, Lily reached out and pointed.

    “Hey, over there!”

    “There’s Shine over there?”

    “Yes!!!”

    With those words, Lily collapsed to the floor.

    It seemed like he was completely exhausted.
