From Jin Ye-seul’s eyes, thick teardrops like chicken dung were flowing nonstop.
Tears were dripping as if it was broken, and she looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk and wept like a child.
“I don’t like it, I don’t like it… .”
Seeing her like that, Yoo Ji-hyuk made a blank expression for a moment as if he had forgotten what to say.
When he came to his senses and opened his mouth to say something, before him, Jin Ye-seul bowed her head and muttered something.
The dripping tears began to wet the floor of the dungeon.
“You, what are you… .”
Jin Ye-seul whimpered and muttered.
“Did you do something to me? right? yes?”
“… … .”
“Yeah, I mean say that right now… Something, something I wrote in a way I don’t know… Ha, Sooyoung Han… That, something about that girl… Magical help or something like that… .”
Jin Ye-seul mumbled an incomprehensible sound along the way.
Sniffling, sniffling, every time she shed a tear, her crumpled body shook.
Yoo Ji-hyuk had never thought that her body would look so small.
“Why, why am I doing this… you, what did you do to me… That’s right, otherwise… It doesn’t make sense, me, it’s my first time doing something like this… .”
Jin Ye-seul rubbed her eyes with her arm and started wiping away the tears.
“Everyone else… I would have just, I would have just killed him.”
She shook her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Still, I wouldn’t have felt anything… why… You’re dead, just imagining… like this… .”
She continued to mutter, “I don’t know,” and shook her head.
Suddenly, she felt a throbbing pain and pressed her hand against the part of her heart.
“Why, why am I only doing this to you… you you… I try to kill it, but I can’t… Why do you keep making me do this… Why, I… This is the first time… .”
Yoo Ji-hyuk put down the bag he was carrying first and carefully knelt down on one knee.
Jin Ye-seul was still crouching, uttering only meaningless sounds, as if talking using only the shell of her brain.
“Yesul.”
“Don’t call my name!”
Jin Ye-seul exclaimed loudly.
Yoo Ji-hyuk was not surprised and just looked at her.
Whether she knew it or not, Jin Ye-seul shook her head and spoke.
“My, my name, don’t call me… If you treat me like that right now… .”
She shook her head.
“My, what I did… I can’t stand it. No way… .”
You won’t be able to forgive me for strangling you.
You won’t be able to forgive me for trying to kill you.
Jin Ye-seul whimpered and muttered.
“Ji, Jihyuk… I’m begging you, okay? I’m really begging you.”
At some point, Jin Ye-seul raised her head in a half-collapsed position.
Jin Ye-seul, whose face was wet with tears, looked at him and muttered as if begging.
“Are you really lying to me? huh? It’s just, I just tried it once… please tell me so… The truth is that you lied to me, check your loyalty… no no… .”
Jin Ye-seul sighed and grabbed his arm.
“I don’t know anything now. What the heck… What, what was important? For me, obviously… His legacy was everything… Why, why… I… .”
Her fingers, clenching her fists to crush the ground, held the twins of the mirror.
Looking at it, Yoo Ji-hyuk could only notice it.
It was not that Jin Ye-seul had not been able to acquire the skills of heritage until now.
It was just that he was acting in front of him as if he had not yet mastered it.
“… … .”
There was no need to ask myself why.
He was just silently enduring Jin Ye-seul’s blunt slap on the shoulder with his fist.
Her hands were bleeding with shards that had shattered jewels.
“Why, why did you make me like this… .”
He didn’t say anything to her, who was crying like a child.
Because he couldn’t say anything.
“What can I do?”
She muttered in a blank voice and looked at him.
“I will do anything you ask. huh? Say anything, I can do anything. I’ll kill the people you ask to kill, bring what you’re asked to bring, and do everything you ask me to do. yes?”
So please.
“Hey, save me… huh? I really don’t know, what is this? huh? My heart really hurts, my head hurts, and I really, really hurt. Ji-hyuk… .”
So please save me
Please… .
At her murmur, he silently pulled out a bandage and disinfectant from his bag.
The branch of the world tree that flowed from his right arm wrapped around her palm, and after a while, all the fragments stuck in her hand were gone.
Yoo Ji-hyeok applied medicine to her hand and carefully bandaged it.
“ah… .”
Jin Ye-seul let out a sigh and just covered her face with both hands without saying a word.
The bandages that were soaked in blood are now soaked in something else.
how much time has passed
“… It’s all from another world.”
After crying for a while, the true Jin Ye-seul quietly opened her mouth.
He was holding onto Yoo Ji-hyeok’s collar drenched with his own tears, begging him to miss it.
“Really?”
She shivered slightly and sniffled.
Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded, and she asked quietly.
“Are you going back? Do you want to?”

Once more he nodded.
Jin Ye-seul pursed her lips.
The first step is always difficult, and the next step is easy.
There was nothing that could hold her back as long as she had already vomited her feelings to him.
“Oh, you can’t go… ?”
It was a word she had squeezed with difficulty.
There was only one answer he could give back to those words.
“Sorry.”
“Ah, ah… eww… whoops… .”
In response to his apology, Jin Ye-seul grabbed him and sobbed while uttering only meaningless sounds.
Because he knew well what he meant.
Yoo Ji-hyeok, who gently wrapped Jin Ye-seul’s shoulders down, and supported her with his own body so that she did not fall.
And a voice that only he could hear came into his ear.
it’s now
Sbengali.
It was the voice of a being who was a seven-evil species that shattered and mixed the human mind.
Now, come and hug her.
Hug her and whisper in her ear what she wants.
Then she will be a faithful servant who works only for you.
The moment when we have weakened to this point is the perfect moment that will never happen again… ?!
To that whisper, he suppressed Sbangali’s energy as hard as he could without answering.
Hearing his heartbreaking scream, Yoo Ji-hyuk took out the bracelet he had received from Jin-jeong from his arms.
perhaps… Now may be the time she said.
It was time to get back what she had lost.
“… … .”
However, Yoo Ji-hyeok could not feel anything being caught, as she said, even after injecting magical energy into it.
It was the same no matter how many times I repeated it.
There is no feeling, no feeling.
It meant only one thing.
It was said that she still didn’t trust him deeply.
Yoo Ji-hyuk quietly put the bracelet in his pocket.
I still needed time.
Jin Ye-seul was still in his arms.
* * *
next day.
Jin Ye-seul did not appear in class.
I was able to hear the story from the professor who called me, Han Soo-young, and Choi Hyun-woo.
It was the same professor who took the place of Alice Blesbuck as the acting professor in our class.
“What is that… The professor in charge of the dormitory said that the dormitory room was empty when he visited.”
He said so and looked at the three of us in turn.
“No matter how many times I checked it, I didn’t get an outing permit, and I couldn’t even secure any evidence that I had escaped from the academy. Until yesterday, I had heard that I had definitely witnessed it… .”
He clenched his forehead as if he had a headache and pressed it down like acupressure.
“Do you know anything? Or even guessing. I heard you guys are the best in our class.”
“Apart from us, there must have been other girls out there, right? Don’t they know anything?”
“Uh, yes, but… .”
Hearing Han Soo-young’s words, he made a very reluctant expression on his face.
Then he shook his head and said to us.
“Anyway, if you don’t know, there’s nothing you can do about it. If you have any contact or remember anything, please let me know. Anyway… If we don’t keep in touch like this, things will get really serious.”
After saying that, he got up from his seat.
Then he looked at us and looked apologetic for holding on to us for so long.
“Then go to the auditorium now. Perhaps today with the faculty of Urea… An unexpected surprise guest is expected to arrive. However, since they will be indebted to you for about a month, wouldn’t it be better to know their names and what they teach you?”
We said hello to him and walked out.
And while heading to the auditorium, Choi Hyun-woo sighed a little.
“I have no idea what’s going on.”
“So do I.”
Han Soo-young also hit the ball like that.
And they both looked at me almost at the same time, as if they had talked before.
“… why?”
“Jihyuk, do you know anything?”
I shook my head at her question.
Because what happened yesterday was not a story anyone could tell.
“No, I don’t know either.”
“Hmm… .”
However, Han Soo-young had a somewhat meaningful expression on her face.
Then he nodded his head as if he knew it and didn’t ask me about Jin Ye-seul anymore.
“Hey, there are a lot of people.”
As soon as he arrived at the auditorium, Choi Hyun-woo shook his head as if disgusted.
Then, taking the lead, we began to stride through the crowd towards our assigned seats.
Naturally, Han Soo-young was seated behind him, and I was seated right behind her.
We were able to get to our assigned seats in no time.
Shortly after I sat down, I heard a ‘hook’, ‘hook’ and ‘breathe’ into the microphone.
– Yes, everyone. Please be a little quiet.
It was Rev Dunkinson.
He made hard, snapping fingers as he spoke, and each time he did, the hum started to diminish significantly.
He opened his mouth quietly, looking satisfied with the quietness inside the auditorium.
― Now, three professors willing to come to Orge Academy for an exchange class in Urea and one surprise guest. There will be four people in total.
Come to think of it, Jeong-Jeong Jin said that she was also one of the professors who decided to come here.
I looked up at the auditorium, concentrating on his words.
― Just do what you practiced a few days ago. When you come up, everyone gets up from their seats and applauds, then sits down and then quiets. I clap every time an introduction is given, and finally get up according to what I say, clap again, sit down, and be quiet. Finally, get out in turn.
He said so and nodded.
― Like the students of Orge Academy, I hope that all of us will show modesty and restraint.
At the end of those words, he smirked and waved his hand.
Then, the sound returned to the inside of the auditorium, which had been filled with silence.
“Awesome… Not everyone can use that kind of magic.”
Would you like to try a sneak peek?
Just as Soo-Young Han made such a pure admiration sound, a young professor who had been handed a microphone by Rev Dunkinson opened his mouth.
― Alright then, everyone, get up!
At his command, we all stood up.
The professor, who looked at us as if quite satisfied, pointed to the back of the auditorium with his hand and said:
― Let’s welcome everyone with a warm welcome, three professors from Urea!
Following his words, the first man walked out with a benevolent smile through the thunderous applause.
Isaac McDowell.
That was him.
― Let me introduce you, Professor Isaac McDowell, who is Urea’s head professor and advisor, and also a master of psychic sciences!
Then a young man with a strange tattoo around his eye walked out behind him.
It was a rather awkward look, as he had never smiled very much, with a stocky body and a harsh impression.
― You are Professor Breakvilles, who will also teach monster ecology.
And now, I thought that Jin-jeong would walk out for the last time.
But behind the man called Breakvilles, a young woman who looked like a Latino with copper-colored skin walked out from behind.
― This is Professor Emilia, who will teach Mana Science.
“… what?”
The truth was not seen.
I was thinking that maybe something went wrong and someone else had to come instead.
I groaned and my phone trembled.
When I checked, it was the first number I saw.
[Hello, is this Yoo Ji-hyuk’s cell phone correct?]
It was a message that would normally have been ignored.
Because when it became known that I was a member of the World Tree, there were people who often sent me texts slandering or swearing at how I found out.
But somehow, I felt like I did, so I wrote down the answer.
[Excuse me, my name is Ye-Jun Jin.]
[Jin Jeong-jeong, Jin Ye-seul’s younger brother.]
And the next moment.
When I saw his text message, I spit out my breath.
[I am announcing the passing away of my eldest sister, Jeong-Jeong Jin.]
If possible according to the will of the deceased, could you please attend the funeral?
