When Lee Yu-na came back from work, there was no one in the room except Yoo Ji-hyuk.
“Hey, what about the other kids?”
Yoo Ji-hyuk, who was secretly hiding what he was holding in his hand, answered her question.
“Did you return after meeting time is over?”
At his answer, Yuuna was somewhat perplexed.
Then why didn’t anyone tell me, maybe I was hated by the children without me knowing… ? It was when she was bewildered that she thought so.
“They call and text you a lot. Did you not get it?”
“yes?”
After hearing Yoo Ji-hyuk’s words, Lee Yu-na immediately took out her phone and checked it.
As he said, there were several text messages saying that he could not be reached, starting with a missed call.
For a moment, her face turned red with some embarrassment, and I muttered a reply that I was sorry for not being able to check them right away.
“Well, it must have been a special place, so the radio wave didn’t work well.”
“Oh yeah?”
Could it be that I was so focused that I didn’t even know I was contacted like this?
She nodded, rubbing her sweat-soaked hands behind her back.
“that… Then I must go now.”
“Yeah, take care and go back. Thank you for coming to visit us today.”
“What are you thankful for… .”
Rather, I am more grateful.
Unable to utter the last words, she swallowed it through her throat and licked her lips.
“Hey, Jihyuk… .”
“why?”
“How are you, are you feeling much better?”
“uh… Well, yes.”
He nodded his head in a no-nonsense manner.
“As you know, Joo-hyuk Ahn keeps checking and treating him. I have one of the best healers in the world as my primary care doctor, can’t it get any better? You said that the hospital itself belonged to Ahn Joo-hyuk? I saw that one ward was empty because of me, so I feel sorry for nothing.”
“… … .”
Unknowingly, Lee Yu-na gave strength to the hand that was holding the doorknob as he burst into laughter.
He did not know that even the world’s leading healer had virtually given up saying there was no way out.
‘no… .’
It can’t be.
I couldn’t have known
The state of one’s own body is the one who knows best.
Especially if it’s as strong as Yoo Ji-hyuk.
He was just hiding.
After thinking up to that point, Yuuna asked quietly.
“Really?”
“yes. In addition, Evangeline-sanaraura-san also came to help me recover… As Ahn Joo-hyuk said, after resting for a while, you will be fine.”
She could barely stand the fact that she had managed to call him a liar.
It was because she had always thought that she did not deserve it.
Although he and Yoo Ji-hyeok resolved the quarrel, she never forgot that the beginning was a rough relationship caused by a one-sided misunderstanding.
Why was that then?
She blamed herself and asked herself.
There were many excuses that could be made.
I have witnessed many misleading sights.
Misunderstood words, uttered in misleading circumstances.
I was mentally driven by the pressure of debt… .
However, the fact that he did not trust him and that he was caught in his own illusions and pushed him does not change.
But now, do you deserve it?
Even a fool would know why he was trying so hard to hide his physical condition.
Maybe it’s because I don’t want everyone to worry.
“… … .”
Han Soo-young and Jin Ye-seul seem to feel a deep bond with him.
Choi Hyun-woo and Ivan Hunt, who trusted each other and seemed to be close enough to each other.
Even though they are half-siblings, Ye-eun Lee does not care at all and cares for and cares for each other more than her own family.
… However, I?
‘It’s stupid.’
Yuna smiled a little.
I already had the answer.

Only friend.
If we went further, there was only one thing we could do from the beginning in the position of receiving grace unilaterally.
“okay… … .”
Lee Yu-na slowly turned and looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk.
“… Are you really okay?”
Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded at her question.
Then, Lee Yu-na smiled as brightly as possible and said,
“Yeah, that’s good.”
As always, she smiled and chose to remain silent.
Because there was no doubt that it was the best option.
* * *
After Lee Yu-na left, I was caught up in a strange sense of incongruity.
‘… What’s going on?’
Her face was clearly smiling, but for some reason it gave off a precarious atmosphere as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
Still, it was a car I was worried about because of the tears I had shed a few days ago.
It was clear that something unusual had happened to her, or that there had been a major change of heart.
However, Lee Yu-na, the person I know, was a person who never tried to reveal it.
A person like a hedgehog who tries to carry all the work and hardships around him foolishly, but is immediately wary of himself if anyone sympathizes with him or makes fun of him.
That was the reason I remember.
“a… !”
As I was about to lie down on the bed, I immediately took off the blanket and got up.
Anyway, I don’t know why the paper crane that was handed over to Jin-Jeong, but it was a car that was not newsworthy.
Maybe it’s just meddling, but maybe I can help her… .
“Ts. tt ttt.”
Then, I stopped at the rather arbitrary click of the tongue coming from the window.
When I turned my head to look, there was a woman sitting there with her legs crossed on the window sill, staring at him as if pathetic.
“Mr Belluna?”
“Yes, this is Belluna.”
She placed her elbows on her knees and clenched her chin, looking at this side and shaking her head.
“How are you, Yoo Ji-hyuk?”
“Yeah, what… How are you, Belluna-san?”
“no.”
She frowned as if she didn’t like my question.
“Today, I’m Belluna, who hasn’t said goodbye. Contrary to what you know. Because it is the Belluna who was deceived by you and almost shattered into pieces, and also the Belluna who was deceived by her son’s friend.”
“… … .”
At her words, I was at a loss for words.
Looking at me like that, she tilted her head.
“It was a joke, wasn’t it funny?”
“Oh, yes. no. It was fun.”
“Then why don’t you laugh?”
“haha… .”
I couldn’t get her to laugh as much as she wanted.
If I were to pick one of the most difficult and unpredictable beings I know, she is definitely one of them.
Considering the power and influence she possessed, it was natural to be wary of her.
“And what was that action just before?”
“Yes?”
“It’s about that girl. Such attitude towards Miss Katarina Atkinson.”
“… Are you talking about Yuna?”
“yes that’s right.”
Belluna nodded and looked at me pathetic.
“Yoo Ji-hyuk… You’re more drier than I thought, and you’re like donkey dung smashed into a camel’s hoof that doesn’t understand a girl’s heart.”
He even shook his head.
“If you were my son, or if that girl was my daughter, I would be scolding you.”
Hearing her rebuke, I sighed quietly.
“Did you come all the way here to say something like that?”
“yes? Of course not.”
She looked at me as if I was saying something stupid.
“I’m here to talk to you about the children of Milited and the beings that are allied with them.”
In a calm voice, she began to tell stories that could not be taken lightly.
“The children of Milited will now start glaring at you. Because in your body Margo and Sbengali… And because he noticed Minerva’s energy and took what Milited had coveted his whole life… .”
“Wait, are you talking about the pendant?”
“no.”
Belluna shook her head and poked her finger into my heart.
“Heart of Minerva.”
She blinked and looked at me.
“You ate it all up, didn’t you? Minerva’s heart that bleeds like no other in this world. The heart of the Seven Evils, the heart of the greatest dragon, my God.”
Belluna, as always, looked at my chest with eyes that didn’t know the meaning.
“You don’t know how much Milited has longed for Minerva’s heart. Formally, I knew him, who was his subordinate. If so, what do the henchmen who truly fell in love with him think?”
“… They must be desperate to get it.”
“That’s right!”
Clap, she clapped briefly and shouted in a cheerful voice.
“In fact, in the place where Minerva and I have a decisive battle… that, yes… what was it Anyway, Richie was hiding.”

Of course, I scolded him.
She murmured as if nothing had happened.
“Anyway, you better be careful. Milited’s children’s current primary goal is to revive Milited, but aside from that, the three remaining are squires who will do whatever it takes to earn his favor.”
Belluna frowned as if trying to bring back her memories.
“Like I just said, Richie was prepared to die and hid to the battlefield. I had my skull smashed, but I wouldn’t be dead. But is he a medicine major? The dragon is trying to capture dragons that are weaker than himself, extract their hearts, and offer them… Umm, what do you call this? Yes, we built a kind of farm.”
“A farm?”
“yes. Farm. No, it would be more appropriate to call it a barn rather than a farm.”
Belluna shook her head as if it was nothing.
“It was frankly spectacular to see dozens of dragons with their wings and legs cut off, their eyes and ears blinded, and hanging like sausages one after another. And by managing and nurturing those processed dragons, when the time comes, the heart… Pak!”
Belluna tapped and touched my chest as if jokingly, then burst into laughter as if delighted.
After spreading a soft and refreshing smile for a while, she said, wiping the tears from her eyes with her fingers.
“But the best thing about it was the vampire, she. I purposely met many races and had many children. Because it takes four highly skilled alchemists to unlock Milited’s seal.”
It was as she said.
In order to unlock Milited’s seal, it took four alchemists who had reached a far-reaching level.
In the original, I remember that the conditions were met by Alice Blesbuck, Cass Lyle, and either Isaac McDowell or Evangeline Lohengrin.
I remember that it was mentioned that the condition had been met for a long time due to an unknown being, and it seems that the remaining one was filled by one of Milited’s children.
“But I heard that they killed almost all of them because they didn’t like it, leaving only a handful of children behind… Hmm, I just couldn’t understand.”
This time, I had the same thoughts as her.
Belluna, who closed her eyes and nodded her head, murmured with a blush in her face as if she was suddenly embarrassed.
“… Oh man, without even realizing it, I was reminded of my memories with him.”
Shaking her head, she looked at me and let out a big, empty cough.
“Anyway, now you understand? I’m here to give you a warning, so please be careful.”
“Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Belluna.”
To be honest, I was sincere as much as I was grateful for her.
I don’t know what she was thinking, but she was a spirit, not a human.
Good things are good things, bad things are bad things.
And a being who has to live and do what he wants to do.
Just by looking at the fact that she wiped out the organization she had been a part of for hundreds of years and destroyed without hesitation even a close friend she had known for thousands of years in the meantime, you can see how unpredictable she is.
Such a being has come to worry about me now and to warn me.
… Also, some of the information she gave me was quite important, so it was natural for me to express my gratitude.
“Hmm… .”
Then, Belluna began to stare intently at me.
She was staring at this side so blatantly that she averted her gaze for a moment, and then suddenly opened her mouth.
“It’s amazing. Yoo Ji-hyuk, this is the third time that I have become so interested in humans.”
“Ah, yes… .”
“He is the first, the son is the second, and you are the third. And all three… It creates a different kind of interest.”
What the hell is this for?
As she muttered like that, she tapped on Belluna’s head, and something bumped into her.
It was a rolled up piece of tissue paper.
“Oh.”
“… … !!!”
It was natural to throw it, but it was Laune.
And the guy was shaking his roots violently with a very angry look.
Seeing this, Belluna just smiled as if it was funny.
“Yeah, don’t worry. compatriot There’s no way it’s going to be anything for you to worry about. He was the only person I loved, and the only person I had to give love to would be my son. Here Yoo Ji-hyuk is just out of pure interest and curiosity… ?!”
Belluna, who continued to speak with a smirk, stopped talking in a moment of shock and surprise.
Then, with a hardened figure, he slowly turned around.
“new year… mind?”
I swear I had never seen her face so nervous.
She looked at this side, sweating profusely, and then let out a short shriek.
“Hey, I’m so busy, I think I’ll have to go!”
“Yes?”
She hurriedly began to open the door of the closed window sill.
As I stared blankly at her sudden reaction, she let out a small sigh of relief as if she had lived with the tightly closed window open.
“Well then, I’ll see you later. hi!”
“No, wait! Belluna!”
Despite my persuasion, she became a wind and disappeared.
I looked at Laune to see what had happened, and she too was trembling as if she had seen something scary.
“What’s this… .”
In a situation where I felt like a fool, I tried to move my body to close the window where the cold wind came in first.
“ah. thank you.”
[…] … .]
But before that, I closed the window to see if Henir’s shadow knew what I meant.
I thanked him and laid down on the bed quietly.
Then, he carefully placed the paper crane, which was still unanswered, on his bedside.
[…] … ♪]
For some reason, I slowly fell asleep while looking at the shadow of Henir, who seemed particularly happy.
