197 – Personal interview (4)
“So far.”
Standing alone in the center of the messy garden, Claire declared.
At the same time, Hana Baek lay down on the muddy lawn as if she had waited.
“Let everyone wash up and prepare for lunch.”
Baek Ha-na let out a small sigh as she looked at Claire’s back, who had received Maria’s healing countless times and rushed at her until her mana ran out, but still not shed a drop of sweat and leaving the seat as undisturbed as the first time.
I thought I had grown a little, but I thought that I hadn’t seen the end of this strong fence that was still protecting me.
“One, this.”
“thanks. But will you feed me?”
“uh? Oh, uh, yes.”
Pook.
After opening the stopper and carefully placing the spout of the bottle to her lips, Baek Ha-na swallowed the contents flowing into her mouth without hesitation as Lee Na-young carefully tilted her hand.
“Yeah, I think it tastes better than last time.”
“thank god. I added a little bit of mint because it was stuffy.”
“I like it.”
I like mint and mint chocolate.
“Ugh, mint… … . Nayoung Lee. Never mix mint flavor when submitting an assignment, just in case.”
“How about mint?”
After eating, my mouth feels fresh.
“Baekhana, is your taste unique?”
“He said he likes Woojin too.”
“what? Goo, don’t berate me!! There’s no way the professor would like that—”
Damn!!
“@#$!^#!”
Idni, hit by Maria’s cool handprint, rolled across the messy lawn with an incomprehensible scream.
“Ugh, how can you heal your mouth first?”
Leaving Idni rolling on the floor cleanly, Maria got up from her seat and approached Baekhana.
“But does the professor really like the taste of mint?”
“yes. We also ate mint chocolate together, and although it’s a bit old, I just drank the mint chocolate flavor max stick I bought for myself, even though I didn’t get it.”
“that’s.”
“… … ?”
“Ugh, no, no.”
It looked as if he was about to say something, but Baek Hana stopped thinking for a moment and closed her eyes as the warm energy soon seeped into her body.
“Okay, it’s over. Seo-hee is next.”
Her body, which had been creaking here and there, stopped making sounds, but Baek Ha-na spent some time lying on the floor even though the healing was over due to the severe fatigue that remained intact.
“Stop getting up. I need to wash up and change clothes.”
“If I lie down in bed now, I’m really confident of getting a good night’s sleep.”
“me too… … .”
Nam Seo-hee agreed to Idney’s drooping words, which was rare, and stood up.
“Yes, yes. If you want to take a quick nap, get up early. One you too.”
“Ouch… … .”
“yes… … .”
Sensing signs that the nagging would start the engine, the two quickly shook their butts and got up from their seats.
So, the group roughly brushed off the dirt and moved to the messy mansion. And the way to the bathroom.
“By the way, where did Nayeonju go?”
“Ah, if it’s a performance, I’ll be having an interview with the professor.”
At Lee Na-young’s answer, Idney scratched her head, where dust was dripping.
“It’s been a long time. I can’t even see a beep.”
“I’ll see you in a minute.”
“Like that?”
“It’s fine. You can clean it later.”
The moment you turn a corner leaving dark footprints on the floor of a clean hallway where not a speck of dust can be found.
“Then let’s go!!”
– Beep
I was able to spot Yeonju Na standing in front of the study and bowing her head politely, and a little fairy riding on her head.
“Oh, Hana sister.”
“Let’s go wash up.”
“Okay!!”
The moment Na Yeon-joo approached with a bright smile and clung to her arm, the smell of someone so familiar passed her nose.
‘It also happened to Idni yesterday.’
Idney came out of the study with a blushing face. And unlike when I entered, my hair was neatly tied up.
“Your sister is dirty.”
“hehehe, it’s okay~ I’m going to wash it anyway, so it’s okay to get dirty!!”
Baek Ha-na laughed involuntarily at the younger sister’s cute smile and lightly tousled Na Yeon-joo’s hair.
“That’s right, but you don’t have any clothes to change into.”
“oh… … ?!”
Only then did Na Yeon-joo, realizing the important fact that she had no extra clothes, tried to let go of Baek Ha-na’s arm, which she was holding with a bewildered face.
“hehehe, it’s late.”
“Ah, ah… … !!”
“Come on, let’s go wash up.”
Hana Baek ran toward the bathroom, holding Na Yeon-ju tightly in her arms.

“Ah, is this heaven?”
After happily finishing the shower, Idney, who had filled her belly with cream stew, lay on her back on the 100-one bed.
“Oddly enough, I fall asleep every time I enter the room.”
Lying on the floor covered with blankets, Maria gently closed her eyes while holding the youngest child in her arms, and Baek Ha-na, who leaned back under the bed, let out a long yawn, holding a fairy on top of her head and Lee Na-yeong in her arms.
Click.
As everyone’s eyelids were gradually lowering due to the rushing tide, the door opened and Nam Seo-hee, who had been called to the study for an interview, returned.
“It is one. The professor calls.”
“Yes… … .”
Baek Ha-na, who had been dozing off for this moment, carefully put Lee Na-yeong next to Na Yeon-joo and got up from her seat.
-Go a little sideways.
-… I’ll give you a pillow, so go down and sleep.
-call.
And as soon as I arrived, I came out to the hallway closing the door for the last time Idney and Nam Seo-hee were bickering.
-Beep~
“Oops.”
Unlike usual, he was so quiet that he completely forgot that he had a fairy on his head.
‘It’ll be fine.’
Hana Baek moved carefully to the study so that the fairy would not fall.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
After a light knock on the door as usual.
“… Go in?”
He opened the door slightly and poked his head through the gap.
“Come and sit down.”
“… … yes.”
With a small smile at the profound voice that made me feel good whenever I heard it, Baek Ha-na quietly closed the burial chamber and entered the study. Then, he lifted the chair in front of the desk.
“… I would have told you to sit there.”
“Do I like this place?”
“… … .”
Baek Ha-na looked at herself as she placed a chair right next to her, but at the end, Baek Woo-jin turned her head quietly without saying anything.
– Beep… … .
I bent down for a moment, and the fairy that was lying on my head slid down.
“oh… … !!”
Confused, Baek Ha-na quickly stretched out her hands, but Baek Woo-jin acted faster.
-Piaaa~ Umm… … .
The fairy, floating in the air, curled up cutely as if not knowing what had happened, and soon let out a quiet, even breath.
Then, as if the leaves were carried by the wind, the fairy floated through the air and disappeared into the bedroom.
“One hundred and one.”
“… … uh?”
Baek Ha-na, who had been staring blankly at the bedroom where the fairy had disappeared for a moment, came to her senses at Baek Woo-jin’s call.
“How is life at the academy?”
“Academy… ?”
It was a question on a topic I hadn’t really thought about. But it didn’t take long to answer.
“… Sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s boring.”
Baek Ha-na smiled lightly and carefully leaned her head on Baek Woo-jin’s arm.
“It’s fun.”
I enjoyed the moment I woke up every morning.
I close my eyes every night and look forward to tomorrow.
“yes.”
“yes.”
‘… And thank you for giving me these happy days.’
Baek Ha-na gently closed her eyes to feel the touch and warmth of Baek Woo-jin a little more deeply as he stroked her hair with a touch full of affection that tickled her heart.
“One hundred and one.”
“Yes… … ?”
When the hand that was caressing her hair left, Baek Ha-na lifted her head slightly and looked up at Baek Woo-jin.
“What are you planning to do after you graduate from the academy?”
“… … I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“is it.”
“yes. Woojin, would you like me to do something? If Woo-jin wants it, he can work hard at anything.”
“It’s black.”
“Ooh~”
Baek Ha-na was naturally led by his hand and laid down on his lap as he gently pulled his cheek. Then he turned around and looked straight up at Baek Woo-jin and called his name.
“Woojin.”
“What.”
My lips tried to pout slightly at the nonchalant reply that came back, but I held it in.
“Yes. I’m so happy with my life right now That’s why there are times when I wonder if I might be dreaming right now~!!”
Just like before, Hana Baek’s brow furrowed at the touch of his hand that pinched her cheeks so strongly that her cheeks tingled.
“Why, why… … ?”
“It is not a dream.”
“I-I know? How did you hit your sister… !!”
“noisy.”
“Seeing… … .”
I felt like biting off that nasty finger, but I couldn’t bring myself to act because I was embarrassed.
“… huh. So there is nothing in particular I want to do.”
“Don’t even think about playing around. I will kick you out.”
“I will do the job!! me too… Gye, I don’t mean to keep getting pocket money… … .”
Your face heats up again.
“The bottom line is that nothing immediately comes to mind.”
“… … Not yet?”
“i get it. If anything happens, let’s talk about it then.”
“Are you okay with anything?”
“yes. if that’s what you want to do.”
“… … yes.”
My heart is warmed by his unrequited trust.
“I’m done talking, so stop going back.”
“to… … The other kids did it long.”
“I know everything about you.”
“Uh, huh?”
“I drool at every chance——”
“Ouch! evil! Uh, when are you bringing up the enemy story!! Fool!!”
Being so flustered, Hana Baek stretched out both of her hands to block Baek Woo-jin’s mouth, which surprised even herself.

Right.
“crying!!”
At the tingling impact on her forehead, Baek Ha-na covered her forehead with her two hands that had been covering Baek Woo-jin’s mouth and cried.
“… If you have nothing to say, leave.”
“Chi… … Ha, I have something to say!!”
“Then hurry up and leave.”
Baek Ha-na slightly puffed out both cheeks at the answer, which was so heartless, then opened her mouth.
“… Can’t you be the professor in charge of the leading department?”
“It looks like you’ve entered the leadership team.”
hot.
Baekhana nodded at the correct point.
“I, too, will write a wish. Oh, or would I be foolish—”
“i get it.”
“… female?”
Did I just hear correctly?
“really… … ?”
“yes.”
“Ha, but… When Dew unnie asked for it, you refused… ?”
Baek Woo-jin answered Baek Ha-na’s question.
“If you don’t like it, refuse it.”
“No, oh no!”
Baek Hana quickly shook her head.
“Then, go back to your room now before I change my mind.”
“Yes!!”
Baek Hana quickly got up from his lap and stood up.
“Ji, are you really doing it?”
“No-”
“I’m leaving!!”
Baek Hana ran into the hallway as if running away, forgetting to close the study room door.
However, unlike the busy steps, Baek Ha-na’s face toward the room was brighter than ever.
