44-1. The black room.
***
She felt a sense of security in Lee Soo-hyun’s hand, which wiped Fine’s tears with her bracken-like hand.
“For now, don’t cry. Sister. All pretty faces are ruined!”
“Okay…”
As she looked at the boy who didn’t recognize her, Fine questioned her.
The last time she saw Licht, she looked at herself and said she was a saint.
‘What is Licht here..? No matter how you look at it, you’re right….’
Isn’t it just a dream like the apostle days? It didn’t come through Licht, who was sleeping.
Fine was trying to understand what she was doing.
Looking at the smell of his clothes, he is definitely a man wearing a black knight helmet. One of the characteristics of the Inrang tribe is their excellent sense of smell.
“Now, do it. That’s right.”
In addition to that, seeing the warm side she often shows only to herself, I was convinced.
‘Was she no way before she met the saint?’
This is probably the world where Licht lived. She must have been in the Grancia Empire before being summoned as a hero.
“Suhyun..? Can I call you?”
“Yes! That’s right!”
After a long time, Fine said Licht’s real name. Then the dark-haired boy nodded his head.
A bright smile and fluttering clothes seemed light.
“..You always look for me.”
Fine was relieved to see her boy. An existence like your own hero who comes to rescue you when you want it most.
In her children’s books, she never saw a knight in a black helmet, but she was always like the ideal warrior she hoped for.
“Sister, what is your name?”
“Fine Grancia..”
“..The name is also really pretty.”
As soon as he hears the name, the boy who looks like he scratches his cheek and laughs.
“Pine sister, why were you crying alone..? Are you lost?”
She saw Licht in her childhood and had the urge to hug him. You will feel like a soft doll.
“Ah, similar..”
Just as he was about to follow her words, a cold sensation hit Fine’s shoulder.
“..It’s raining.”
It rains heavily.
The clear sky was covered with dark clouds like a lie, and thunder and lightning shook the earth.
“Do you have a place to go back to? The other family…?!”
Lee Soo-hyun was in a hurry at the sudden raindrops.
“No..”
Fine shook her head in negation.
In the first place, this is not the Grancia Empire. No place to return to, no friends.
“I catch a cold in the rain. I can’t. Just write this..! Sister!”
A boy who puts an umbrella over Fine as soon as it rains.
It is a small umbrella that is difficult to cover the entire body. Lee Soo-hyun barely covered her head with her palms to avoid the rain.
Looking at it, Fine’s memories came flooding back.
Memories of the first time we met and talked with Licht. The day I took him to the men’s dormitory while running away from the shower.
I felt sorry for him because he looked like a puppy in the rain alone. Quite the opposite this time.
“Suhyeon, if your umbrella is like this…. The two of you… Huh?”
Fine was trying to make a glass umbrella like before, but there was no change in her hands.
‘Why not..?’
It is a feeling that magical power does not spread from the fingertips. Circuits and mana shouldn’t be a problem either.
It’s not like trying to light a tree that’s been wet in the rain.
“Pine-sister, let’s get out of the rain in our house for now!”
Lee Soo-hyeon started running after giving it to Fine as if she was passing an umbrella.
I glanced behind her so that she could follow.
‘It’s cute. It’s like a black man.’
The attitude of the boy who behaved like a dog out for a walk with his owner was surprisingly the same as someone else’s. No matter how young you are, Licht is right.
“Mom, Dad. I’m back!”
The place where Fine was led by Suhyeon Lee was one of the white buildings she just saw.
Among them, you have to climb a lot of stairs to get there.
When I opened the thick iron door and entered, I saw a small room.
It was strange that it was small enough to look shabby compared to the vast imperial palace. It’s not like one person is using all the tall buildings.
“Welcome! Oh my, was it raining?”
A middle-aged woman greets young Lee Su-hyeon. Fine recognized her identity with her characteristic good eyes.
Who can see it is his mother. Her black black hair tied back and her signature smile resembled Lee Soo-hyun.
“..Who is over there?”
When Suhyeon’s mother saw Fine standing behind her, she was astonished.
It would be like a situation where your son brought home a stranger.
“Ah, uh… That’s the person who got help from Su-Hyun. Ah… I got caught in the rain by myself…”
She chewed her tongue. It feels quite different from when he confidently revealed that he was her boyfriend in the presence of Locke, the father and emperor of Fine.
“It’s a foreign sister! They said they got lost, so I brought them!”
Lee Soo-hyun talked brightly whether or not Fine was agitated.
Although she felt a bit embarrassed about being treated as a stranger, it was an illusion created by the Temple of Tar Dune after all.
Or maybe it really fell into the past.
“Come in and warm up. Your name..?”
“Fine.. This is Fine Grancia..”
A handshake or two while barely managing their facial expressions.
“Oh my, what a princess-like name you look! My name is Sua Kim. This is the person who becomes the mother of this stylish knight.”
She is the mother of someone she cherishes.
Fine didn’t know how to deal with someone she couldn’t even figure out.
Her hair is pure white. The words did not come out twisted like a ball of thread.
‘Wouldn’t it be strange if I got wet in the rain..?’
Thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning.
It should look good. Fine hastily put her hand over her rain-soaked hair and her messed up face from crying.
“Son, are you coming in now?”
From noble mtl dot com
She sees a middle-aged man similar in height to the Lee Soo-hyun she knew. His wrinkled, rough hands.
“..Who is this?”
“Honey, did our Suhyeon bring a pretty girl?”
“My foreign sister is caught in her rain, so protect her!”
Young Lee Soo-hyun stretched his arms high. A couple who laughed softly when he saw such a figure.
“Is that so? Our Suhyeon is strong~.”
It’s not much different from when he was younger. By the time Fine’s hair is still black, she is like the scenery seen in the imperial palace.
‘..They look alike.’
It’s been a long time since I fell to the other world. Until just now, the cold sensation in the chest had disappeared.
***
When Fine took a shower, there were many difficulties. Although she barely knew that hot or cold water would come out without magic.
‘Whoa.. It’s full of things I don’t know….’
Fine washed her body twice because she didn’t know what the slimy liquid in the thin tub was.
Once I told her that one was to be worn on her head, she would be right if she tried both.
“Smells like Richt..”
Fine’s sensitive nose immediately picked up the familiar scent.
This must have been the source of the smell that was slightly permeated from the soft and kind body of the dark knight.
“Of course, the box tee is also worn by Fine, so the character buys it.”
Fine wearing the clothes Sua lent her as her spare. The white and large clothes were comfortable because they immediately covered her voluptuous body.
“Ah.. Mother..”
The automatically popped out title is mother. Fine momentarily covered her own mouth, from which her words escaped.
“Thank you.”
“What are you thankful for?”
“I don’t know anything…. Suhyeon and… Thank you for all your help….”
Even if it’s a point in the past that even the saintess doesn’t know about, let alone herself, Fine speaks with all her heart.
Since she entered the academy, she received many things from Licht.
“Soohyun.. Came to save me..”
I can’t even imagine life without him now.
“What? If it’s your first time in Korea, you might be like that.”
Sua pats the shoulder of Fine, who is anxious. Her uneasiness disappears at the warm touch of her. This part resembles her mother.
“Oh, Fine. It turned into kimchi stew. Do you want to eat?”
“Kimchi jjigae..?”
A spicy scent pierced her nose. And there was a savory smell of mixed meat. Bubbling food is like a meat stew.
“You said that such a pretty beauty was crying on the street, so you brought her home? You’ve already identified a woman, and you shouldn’t do that. Suhyun.”
“Dad!! It was raining and I couldn’t help it!!”
Son and father showing smirks.
It’s similar to what you usually see. When Richt pranks Kynell, I miss him teasing him like that.
“It’s spicy…. It is delicious.”
Well well. Tender pork is chewy. There was something fishy about it, and Fine’s eyes widened.
“Uh..? Do you have fish in your stew?”
“How did you know? In my house, we use pork and tuna together. I like tuna….”
“I love meat!”
Looking at Lee Soo-hyun, who raised his hand and spoke, Fine gasped and laughed.
I knew he was good at eating minotaur steaks, but he’s been like that since he was little.
“Anyway, I’m glad you like it. Are you here to travel? You speak fluently.”
Sua looked at Fine and asked questions.
How should I say it? She judged that these people were unlikely to be trusted, even during the trial of Tar Dune.
“I-I traveled alone… I don’t know when I can go back.”
Knock on the table with her fingers. Fine Grancia started telling more and more lies.
“So, did you lose your passport?”
Nodding. Although she didn’t understand the word passport, Fine nodded as it seemed to fit.
“Shouldn’t we report it to the police? Honey?”
“Well, if that doesn’t work, I might have to stay here all the time…. It’s so ugly outside these days.”
When Fine heard that she might stay, her body stiffened.
“God, please don’t report it..!! You’ll find it soon.”
She screamed at her uncharacteristically. It seems possible that such a cute Licht and her parents could stay where she is all the time.
‘With cute Richt…. Can I stay with you?’
The white wolf was greedy for the puppy that was younger than him.
[..Yes, I can hear it… ? I’ll go get it now.]
Because of her pounding so much, she couldn’t hear the very small transmission magic she heard.
