Ivica sat back on the sofa and closed her eyes after Ares had left her office.
"I can't believe you kissed an adolescent!" Ivica's twin exclaid abruptly as she appeared behind her.
"...."
"...Y-You already know he's not really a teenager; don't make look like so kind of weirdo!" Ivica imdiately responded as she blinked open her eyes.
"What made you do that in the first place? Is it bothering you that you're going to die a virgin?" Ivica's twin asked with a straight face.
Cough!—
'Even I don't know why I did that, so I'm not sure how to explain her,' Ivica mused inwardly.
"...Why exactly were you snooping on ? I asked you to leave us alone for a bit, didn't I?" Ivica asked instead, ignoring her sister's prior query.
"Were you intending on going all the way with him if I wasn't looking? Are you forgetting that you are three hundred years older than him, even if you count his prior age?" Ivica's twin asked, her face displeased.
!?
"S-Stop talking! I wasn't planning anything of the sort, a-and also did you forget what he said when we first t?" Ivica spoke quickly.
"You an when he said that we are teenagers as well in terms of dragons' age? ...But we are not full dragons though, but rather half-humans," she responded.
"...."
"Agg, just hearing you makes think I will die sooner! Can't you just support your sister without worrying about the specifics? With your attitude, I already worry about how you will survive in this society without ," Ivica replied in an irritated manner.
"...You don't need to worry about ; I can look after myself," Her sister replied.
"...I honestly don't know whether you truly can," Ivica mumbled to herself.
'As she is not accustod to interacting with people, she can be blunt and say things that people won't appreciate. It wasn't a problem because I was able to handle the problems she caused, but now that she will be left alone, she will undoubtedly make a lot of enemies with that tongue of hers, and the worst part is that she is not strong enough to be able to defend herself,'
Ivica shook her head and wore a troubled look.
"Do you want to accompany you then?" Upon observing Ivica's anxious deanor, Ivica's sister stated.
!?
"Accompany to where?" Ivica said, staring at her sister.
anwhile, her sister remained silent and unresponsive, with a blank expression.
"...."
"...For God's sake! Didn't we go over this several tis? Don't even consider it, you understand?" Ivica expressed her displeasure.
"I'm not sure why you're so opposed to it; everyone has to die eventually, and I'm just—" Ivica interrupted her answer.
"Please, shut the hell up, don't use that stupid ideology on , you already know I don't like people who don't value their own lives.
Do you think I'm an idiot for putting myself through all of this just to live another day?
Just because I'm acting peaceful doesn't imply I'm okay with dying; like everyone else, I want to live, and I still haven't reached the objective I set for myself.
I tried all I could for years in the hopes of finding sothing that would allow to survive!
In the hopes of discovering a cure, I even tead up with a nine-tailed fox who the demons are after.
In order to survive, I even struck a deal with a foreigner from another planet, putting aside whatever his objectives may be.
And now you're talking about taking your own life so casually like you didn't watch fight all these years," Ivica yelled out as her eyes began to tear up.
"...."
"...So, you wish to live?" Her sister inquired with no change in her expression.
"Is that not clear? Of course, I want to live," Ivica affird, blotting her tears away.
In an effort to calm her down, her sister approached and hugged her.
...
...
"Sis, I'm ...scared, I don't want to die!...I don't want to die, sis..." Ivica repeated the sa statent as her eyes began to blur.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you go so easily...Ivica!" She muttered to herself as she gave Ivica a stroke on the back softly.

"...So Ivica had a twin sister who wasn't ntioned in the story, huh?" Ares muttered to himself as he approached the dorm building.
I had my doubts about sothing else, but I never imagined she'd have a twin sister. I assud she had a doppelganger or sothing to replace her when she left the academy for whatever reason, similar to what I normally read in novels.
And the reality that hasn't left is that the Ivica I read about in the story was insanely strong, therefore Ivica dying and leaving her weak sister alone doesn't make sense to .
'Will Ivica, who is currently weak, suddenly beco strong in the future for seemingly no reason? And I still don't see why she needs that strengthening fruit.' I thought to myself for a mont.
However, I quickly awoke from my reverie and dismissed it, figuring that I would learn about it when the ti ca.
I then summoned the system to check my newly acquired ability.

Well, when Jessica confronted in her realm, I had already used my reward to improve my skill Hawkeye in the hopes that it would help escape her domain.
It was similar to taking a chance and hoping for the best, but my hawk eye wasn't useful enough to help escape, ...however it can at least see past camouflage now.
Despite my assurance that Jessica wouldn't hurt , I wasn't sure whether she would spare Irethiel, which also made explain to her how useful Irethiel could be, so she won't kill her imdiately.
"Anyway, it's fortunate that Irethiel survived," I mumbled as I moved to check my status panel.

!?
When I noticed my new ability, I widened my eyes in surprise.
To inspect the information, I imdiately clicked on it.
[Ability: Regeneration (Minor)]
(Information: The user's body can nd quickly and return to its ideal state.
Note: The regeneration speed and efficacy are determined by the user's mana.)
"...."
"So it all depends on how much mana I have,? I would need a lot of mana to cure the severe wounds, and the fact that it says minor next to it indicates that with the mana I now have, it appears that I can only treat the minor injuries,' I reasoned to myself.
"That's understandable, and I won't quibble as it's a rare ability. Who knows, perhaps I'll discover a way to boost my mana supply in the future!" I murmured to myself.
