Lee Ha-yul’s blatant jealousy disappeared in a day.
Now, even when Atra taught Daera with care, she didn’t puff out her cheeks, and she didn’t cling to Atra and throw a tantrum.
“Master, wasn’t the technique just now okay?”
“That magic has a really weird process of manifestation. It manifests mixed in with the movents, so it’s hard to tell the signs. It’s a good technique.”
“Hehe.”
Yesterday’s jealousy was completely released during the night.
Lee Ha-yul’s lips were curled into a faint smile.
The corners of his lips were more blatant than usual. His surroundings were radiating with positive emotions that made everything sparkle.
“… But. Isn’t that magic the technique that blew off an arm in the past?”
“Huh… That… I’ve fixed it all now. It’s true. It’s safe now…”
[Truth]
[No lies]
“Hmm… ”
Atra smiled as well.
Her skin was so shiny and smooth that it was a stark contrast to yesterday.
Her golden eyes, looking down at Lee Ha-yool, were filled with a sense of fire, and her affection seed to be tangible and overflowing.
“… I guess it’s not a lie. But you were practicing that technique behind her back, right? Huh?”
“Bae-ee…”
Atra pinched Lee Ha-yool’s cheek while pretending to look stern, and Lee Ha-yool smiled bashfully while being grabbed.
Their relationship as a teacher and student seed very close.
Not even a day had passed, but the atmosphere felt noticeably closer and brighter than yesterday.
Those who t Atra on business would kiss and ask if there had been any happy occasions.
“… … ”
Dae-ra, who had finished her share of sparring, made a trembling expression as she watched the scene.
It wasn’t like Iha-yul was boiling with jealousy.
Atra and Iha-yul. Both were precious to Dae-ra.
Atra was Dae-ra’s guardian and teacher, and Iha-yul was Dae-ra’s benefactor and cute disciple who saved her from hell.
How could two people like that feel so close?
‘Ah! Isn’t there so kind of magic that erases mories?’
The problem is that I know why the mood between them changed.
Dae-ra frowned and caressed her eyes. The sudden split vision made her see things she shouldn’t have.
The split vision and the sight that ca into her eyes were so shocking that it was too late to cut them off.
I saw sothing I shouldn’t have. When I recalled that stimulating mory, a red hot flush rose up the back of my neck.
- Dae-ra, you’re not feeling so good today. Is there sothing strange?
- Oh, it’s nothing…
I was so worried that I got a look from Atra.
It wasn't a legitimate reason, but it was true that the state was strange, and the intensity of my training had decreased.
[Daera's secretary]
"Huh!"
[?]
My body jumped at the sound that ca from behind . Lee Ha-yool, who had co over and spoken to , tilted his head.
[Sister? Why are you doing that?]
"Ah, haha... That, that's just it. I was surprised when I was suddenly called while I was thinking about sothing else."
[Ah, sorry for calling while you were concentrating]
"Eh, hey! Why are you apologizing for sothing like that? I'm just kidding. So, what's wrong, Priest?"
Daera tried her best to hide her embarrassnt while answering.
Feeling the awkwardness, Lee Ha-yool tilted his head the other way, but he didn't dig into the trivial details.
[You said you were going to give a gift last ti. I think I'll need Priest's blood to make it. Can I have a little bit of it?]
"Make it? Blood?"
Daera, who had been smiling awkwardly, blinked. She had thought it was because she was given a gift, but now she found out that she was making it herself.
And her own blood was in the gift?
‘I think it was the magic part…’
The comfortable and sturdy clothes and useful tools she had received from the other side.
They said that Lee Ha-yul had made them all himself. Her priest was skilled in both dexterity and manufacturing techniques.
Since he was also skilled in magic, the gift he was making might require blood.
“Right now?”
[Yes]
“Yes, okay.”
Daera held out her arm casually. She didn’t feel any sense of caution.
Blood shouldn’t be given away easily. This is even more true in modern tis when supernatural powers have developed. There is room for blood that is carelessly leaked to be misused.
However, the one who requested blood was Lee Ha-yul. Since she trusted that he wouldn’t misuse the blood, she held out her arm without hesitation.
[Hehe, look forward to it! I’ll make it really amazing for you]
Feeling that trust, Lee Ha-yool’s smile brightened. Dae-ra slightly averted her gaze at the beautiful smile that resembled a blooming sunflower.
- Swish…
The wings of the sky gently wrapped around Dae-ra’s arm.
Imdiately after, a slight tickling sensation occurred on her wrist, and a bright red dot appeared on the wing robe wrapped around it.
“Huh?”
Dae-ra’s eyes widened. When she examined her freed arm, there was not a single scratch on her wrist.
On the contrary, the wing robe was still bright red.
“What’s that? Did you just drain the blood?”
[Yes, you can use this to draw it out like a syringe]
“Does hygiene and such not matter? Don’t you have to store it well?”
[It’s okay thanks to the artifact’s cleaning function. I'm also continuing to cast a separate purification spell]
"Wow, that's really useful?"
The more I looked at those winged robes, the more they seed to have so many uses.
They can be used for both offense and defense, as a blanket, and as a tent when spread out. Now, they've even got a cleaning function as a syringe.
[Hehe, it might take so ti, so please look forward to it]
As I recalled the drawing I was editing in my head, I suddenly imagined Daera's reaction when she received the gift.
Lee Ha-yool, who covered her mouth that was naturally going up with her winged robes, smiled faintly. Her eyes, which were as delicate as a fox's, were clearly visible.
Daera, who witnessed that scene from the front, carefully opened her mouth.
"... Priest, are you doing that on purpose?"
[?]
After collecting Daera's blood.
I asked my master to finish the afternoon training early and left.
It was because I had an appointnt that I had made a few days ago.
After washing up, I walked to the eting place.
The destination was a moderately sized cafe, a private room where no one would be interested.
“Ha-yul, are you here?”
There was a guest in the private room that I arrived at.
Blue-green hair and eyes. Lee Ha-sol, who was caressing a cup of water, greeted with a smile.
[… Hello, Lee Ha-sol]
I had sothing to talk about with Lee Ha-sol before, so I decided to make an appointnt.
We often talked through text ssages, but I think it’s better to talk face to face.
I observed my surroundings and sat down across from Lee Ha-sol.
“Yes, this is the first ti we’ve t since that day. How have you been?”
[Yes, yes… I’ve been doing well]
“Here. It’s a cool spring day, but my throat is parched because I’m walking around outside.”
[Thank you. [I’ll drink it well]
Despite my awkward greeting, Lee Ha-sol kept smiling and handed the water.
He calmly observed as I gulped down the water.
‘It’s awkward…’
I could sense the complexity and familiarity in the gaze.
I thought about it and brought up a topic that just happened to co to mind.
[It’s the middle of the free sester, aren’t you very busy?]
The first sester has just started, so it’s the free sester.
It’s a ti when you can take a lot of classes regardless of your grade.
That’s why there are many students who are busy wandering around the campus in the afternoon.
This didn’t apply to , who had been trained by my teacher during my major classes.
‘You said the schedule is tight during the free sester. They said it’s especially so for freshn who just entered the school.’
Lee Ha-sol, who sat across from , was a freshman who just entered the school. She was very busy during the free sester.
“That’s right. I’ve been moving around here and there since lunch.”
[Even though they’re all densely packed in the study area, it’s a hassle to go to each one. You must have had a hard ti.]
“But it wasn’t so difficult because they’re all clearly marked on the map.”
Fortunately, the topic was appropriate, and Lee Ha-sol also actively engaged in the conversation.
Rather than saying he engaged, it would be more accurate to say he led the conversation.
He actively approached , who was already very unsociable and awkward, because I was watching his every move.
“… … ”
[… … ]
But the conversation couldn’t go on forever.
Eventually, the conversation was cut off for a mont, and an awkward silence fell again.
“Maybe…”
In the midst of such awkwardness, Lee Ha-sol carefully asked, placing both hands neatly on her knees.
“Have you ever had any mories that ca to mind?”
The complicated emotions in her li-green eyes. While anticipating the answer, she wiggled her hands in her eyes that felt faint hope.
[… Yes, not yet…]
“I see…”
The faint hope disappeared. My shoulders naturally narrowed.
How to recall mories. It seems possible, but it’s not certain to do it right away, and the situation is a bit complicated.
“… Huh! That’s right. Lost mories won’t co back easily.”
Lee Ha-sol, who had been depressed for a mont, took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders. Soon, she tapped her smartwatch and a hologram appeared.
[… This is?]
The hologram that appeared was a photo.
“A photo from when I was young. Back then, I didn’t have a smartwatch, but I had a basic smartphone, but the photo still remained.”
In the photo, there was a young Lee Ha-sol. Of course, a much smaller body than now, with black hair and eyes.
“The color didn’t change much. It changed after awakening my attribute ability… at most, one or two years?”
Even though I hadn’t opened my eyes, Lee Ha-sol saw through the question I had asked and answered.
[… I’m there too]
“That’s why I found this photo.”
I was in the photo too.
Black hair and eyes. A face frozen like a machine. Unfocused eyes turned toward the cara, held in Lee Ha-sol’s arms.
A face that’s different but similar to the current one. If we look at the impression, it feels like soone else.
‘… Is this how you’re trying to recall past mories?’
I figured out Lee Ha-sol’s intentions.
This is how you stimulate past mories and make them co to mind. It’s a common thod, and an effective one.
“Then you forgot everything you said back then… ”
While I was calmly examining the photo, Lee Ha-sol, who was also staring at the photo with hazy eyes, spoke.
A soliloquy full of lancholy. I bit my lips at the dull emotion, but then I asked, sipping water because I couldn’t ignore it.
[Um… what did I say at that ti?]
Lee Ha-sol shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing.
“You said you’d marry when you were big.”
- 뿝
[겍]
The water in her mouth leaked out.
“…Actually, I’m joking.”
Lee Ha-sol, who was watching my reaction, giggled and handed a tissue.
