“Oh, you are cute. Did you come out to play with your brother?”
When I turned my head to the voice I heard, a middle-aged woman looked down at me and smiled.
With a smile on her face, she naturally reached out to me.
As he moved back, avoiding her hand for a moment, he heard laughter.
“My little brother is hiding his face.”
He took my hand and said so, and gently hid me from her.
Then the middle-aged woman frowned as if she was sorry.
“Oh. Yes? I’m sorry, she didn’t know.”
She kept trying to say sorry to me, but I hid behind him and didn’t move at all.
I didn’t even want to look at her face because of some reluctance.
As I hid behind my back and didn’t move, the man who covered me smiled awkwardly.
“Then goodbye. We have some urgent work to do, so we have to leave.”
With those words, he took my hand, no, Evangeline, who had changed to the extent of a boy, carefully led me.
Having changed to the level of an elementary school student, I quietly moved as she led.
“… Do you have any problems with your body?”
Evangeline, who changed her appearance to a neutral appearance, looked at me and asked.
Whether or not she knew the glances around her, she was looking at me.
I sighed a little.
“No, not like that.”
“Then why are you like that? It didn’t seem like I was avoiding it simply because I didn’t like it… .”
When I woke up to her words, the hand holding her was trembling slightly… .
It was then that he seemed to understand a little why.
“Just, so… .”
I nodded my head slightly.
“I just had a little relationship with my mother when I was young… No, it was very bad. I think it was because my body got smaller back then, and my memories came back in an instant.”
“ah.”
At those words, Evangeline let out a small sigh.
“… I’m sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve changed someone else, so I didn’t even think of that.”
“I didn’t even know, so it doesn’t matter. It’s a thing of the past anyway.”
“No, uh… .”
She nodded quietly.
And she murmured as if throwing a joke, but it was clear that she was paying attention to this side.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have just dressed as a woman. Let’s do it next time we have a chance.”
“If you’re going to dress up as a woman, make me an old man.”
She burst into laughter at my complaint.
Then he gently took me into his arms, saying sorry.
“There are quite a few people. Can you wait until we get a taxi like this?”
I quietly muttered as I held her in her arms.
“Did you know that people around you draw a lot more attention than that? I don’t think there’s any sense in disguise.”
“It’s because you’re cute.”
she muttered
“Or maybe it’s because I’m handsome.”
With a smirk, she strode forward, holding me in her arms.

On the way, she even smiled at the people taking our pictures, and she sighed a little as soon as she got into the taxi.
“… Shall I change my hair color next time?”
She murmured as she ran her hand through her soft blonde hair.
I looked at her like that and shook my head slightly.
Hair wouldn’t be an issue.
We immediately took a taxi and went to the World Tree.
It was because of her words that if you use the warp gate, the magic might be broken along the way.
After taking a taxi for about an hour, we immediately moved to a place where the World Tree’s clans live, not a place open to the public.

On the way, I didn’t forget to ask Shin Woo-seok to take a picture of us and send it to him so that we could go in and out.
Perhaps because of that, he was able to pass through the entrance that should have been stopped without any problems.
“hello!”
As soon as we passed the entrance, a woman who was waiting for us immediately greeted us and smiled.
It was the first face I saw.
“I was waiting after hearing Shin Woo-seok’s story, are you the children of his acquaintance?”
“yes. Where is Uncle Wooseok?”
At Evangeline’s words, she took the lead, saying that she would guide us.
As we walked a little further, Shin Woo-seok was waiting for us.
“Long time no see! You have really grown up!”
Shin Woo-seok gave me a nice smile and hugged me right away.
Then, looking at Evangeline, he was nodding his head with an expressionless expression, as if he had seen Evangeline for a long time.
“You have grown up so much. It was really small when I saw it before… Do you remember Mr.
“Yes, yes. He even gave me pocket money.”
“ha ha ha.”
Shin Woo-seok burst out laughing and looked at the woman who had guided us.
“It was hard. Now let me see.”
“No, it’s not hard! Call me anytime!”
She smiled brightly and bowed her head several times before taking a step back and disappearing.
Come to think of it, Shin Woo-seok is also Lee Ye-eun’s closest aide, so he’s very powerful.
That was when I was thinking.
“… Are you a master?”
“Yes.”
he murmured cautiously.
He gulped and felt him exhaling nervously.
“Even if you feel uncomfortable in my arms… .”
“No, it’s not like that… Just drop me off and I’ll walk on my feet.”
“No, if I ever fall, I will be dead that day.”
With those words, Shin Woo-seok hugged me and hugged me as if it were a fragile piece of glass.
Then I opened the door of the building that looked like a warehouse and went inside.
It was around the time I thought about why I had come to this place and not the parish.
“I was waiting. I am the head of the world tree clan… .”
As soon as the door opened, Yeeun Lee, who was sitting on the chair, stood still with a cold expression on her face.
Her gaze was fixed on me in Shin Woo-seok’s arms.
“The master is right.”
Shin Woo-seok looked at Lee Ye-eun as if he had expected it and said so.
“… … .”
Ye-eun Lee took out her phone without saying a word.
Then, even after dropping it on the ground, she blankly moved her hand and pretended to take a picture.
“Ah, ah… .”
After a while, she realized that her hand was empty and muttered blankly.
Then he jumped out of his seat, banged on the table, slammed his knees, and let out a scream.
“~~~~~~~~!!!”
* * *
“I came here disguised like this for reasons you don’t know. Please understand.”
Evangeline sat down and bowed her head politely.
Yeeun Lee nodded her head with a solemn expression.
“I understand.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Shin Woo-seok left immediately, saying he would go outside and protect him from entering.
I was sitting between Evangeline and Yeeun Lee, right next to Yeeun Lee.
It was the woman who was about to hand me over to Shin Woo-seok with a flowing movement.
When I restrained her, she slapped her in the face as if trying to come to her senses.
And then, he touched my cheek only once, and he went into the meeting with a serious attitude.
… He kept glancing at me while I was talking, but he looked serious anyway.
“I want you to see this first.”
Evangeline handed Yeeun Lee the materials.
Lee Ye-eun, who received it and read it carefully, nodded her head slightly.
“I think I understand why you asked me to make an agreement.”
With a serious expression on her face, she muttered quietly.
“… If it really is as written in the report, then this is not the time to be proud of yourself because of a pointless position.”
“That word… .”
“As I said before, we make an agreement and let’s move on.”
At Lee Ye-eun’s words, Evangeline closed her eyes as if she had let go of a sigh.
Seeing her like that, Yeeun Lee nodded her head.
“The man who just went out is a fairly capable wizard. He is also my closest ally. More details can be told through him. Otherwise, here… .”
Yeeun Lee naturally touched my cheek and placed her hand on my shoulder.
“You should talk to Yoo Ji-hyuk, who is also my younger brother.”
“Um, still, I prefer to share my opinions with the head of the family… .”
“no.”
Yeeun Lee shook her head.
“Jihyuk’s will is my will.”
She declared like a nail.
“On the contrary, my words will soon become Jihyuk’s words.”
“… I’ll figure it out for now. Shall we first talk about two important things?”
“It must be a story about the children of Milited and the lei related to the sealing of the Seven Evils.”
“yes. That’s right.”
Since there was very little information about Milited’s children, it was quickly concluded that the one who found out about them first shared it with the other party.
The following was the story of Ley, which was directly related to the seal.
“According to the information we received from our side, Minerva’s Seal of the Seven Evils can be controlled through a total of five leylines.”
Evangeline slowly explained.
“One of them was secured by us, but… The other four could not even be located. A spy from our side tried to dig it up, but… .”
She licked her lips for a moment, adding that she had failed.
“Anyway, it can be said that the priority is to find and occupy these four leylines first.”
“If it’s okay with me, can I say a word to you?”
Two eyes focused on me at my words.
I caught my breath for a moment and looked at Evangeline.
“First of all, I want to ask you, Evangeline-sama, what are you going to do after you have suppressed all the Leys?”
“We have to make sure that the seal doesn’t break.”
“Once a seal begins to collapse, it can never be stopped.”
She responded to my words.
“We can delay it as much as possible.”
“You mean to pass it on to the next generation like that? And if the seal is unexpectedly released, what are you going to do then?”
“… So, is this what you want to say?”
Evangeline looked at me coldly and said.
“Rather, let’s break the seal and intercept?”
“That’s it.”
I nodded.
“At the time we want, after all preparations have been made, the seal will be released. If the evacuation of nearby citizens is also completed, there will be no hindrance to operating the Aegis system.”
“It’s a language thing. What would you do if you unlock the seal that way, and then you can’t stop it? It would be like hastening destruction with our own hands.”
“Evangeline, let’s be honest.”
I pulled over and looked at her and said.
“To be honest, the Ten Rivers, the world tree clan, other guilds, hunters, heroes, Aegis… Anyway, if you can’t defeat the Seven Evil Bells even after concentrating all your energy and preparing everything, everything will be over from the moment the seal is released anyway. And that moment is still coming.”
“… … .”
Evangeline shut her mouth.
I felt the need to take a step back here.
“… If so, let’s talk about it after finding the lei first. After all, you have to secure all the leylines so that you can clearly understand the state of the seal. It will not be too late to go there and make a decision.”
I glanced at her.
“Because it’s impossible for the three of us to have such an important story.”
“… Yes.”
Evangeline nodded her head.
“First of all, six people including me… I’ll tell them too. The fact that they made a pact with the World Tree clan, and whether they will keep the seal as much as possible, or rather fight against it.”
“That’s right. If we can’t secure a lei when we talk to each other, it’s just a meaningless debate anyway. At least one more now… .”
“So I mean… .”
Yeeun Lee said looking at the two of us as if to calm down.
“How are you going to find the ley? Shall we go after Isaac McDowell here, or will we catch him and torture him?”
She muttered in a calm voice.
“It’s too late to come and scour now, so I think it’s much faster and more certain to hear from those you already know.”
“They won’t talk even if they die.”
I muttered like that.
And it really was.
“… Well, I have an idea, so can you leave it to me? I am confident that I will find it within a fortnight at the latest.”
Evangeline and Yeeun Lee looked at me as if puzzled by my confident attitude.
I just laughed.
It was because the person with the most outstanding ability in extracting information was my absolute ally.
There was no need to get a confession from them in the first place.
Dead people say nothing, but they do leave traces.
Jin Ye-seul.
She was the only person capable of reading the traces of a dead person.
To be precise, it was just digging through the brain and extracting information.
“Anyway, we will find the location of the Ley in a short time. After that, I will ask the two of you to occupy the Ley.”
As I said that, I leaned back slowly.
As a child, his legs, which had become so short that they did not touch the ground, swayed back and forth in the air.
