34. I missed you
+++
Do-yoon said goodbye to the dean and some instructors. They saw off the grown-up student with a happy heart and congratulated him for joining the World Tree.
Sophie had already finished talking to Doyoon.
And Doyoon said goodbye to Debussy.
Do-yoon decided not to take Debussy with him.
He is going to be very busy in this life as he was in his previous life. It is not possible for him to take care of everyone just because he has accumulated affection. Debussy was not a talent worthy enough to be raised by Do-yoon himself.
It was a brutal treatment. However, Doyun had no time to think of anything other than killing the demon king.
He also stressed himself with this way of thinking, but this was how the warrior Enoch lived.
“Have a good time with Sophie. It’s a prize for a woman to eat her husband, though it seems difficult.”
“…it’s not like that. And what a prize to catch and eat. Where else can you find a woman as kind and sincere as Sophie?”
“…really? Are you friendly?”
He frowned as if he heard something Debussy couldn’t hear.
“…okay. That’s how it happened. Somehow, the atmosphere was very different in front of you.”
“what?”
“No, pretend you didn’t hear. I don’t want to die from being kicked by Sophie.”
“…?”
“See you later.”
Doyoon tilted his head for a moment, but did not think deeply. Rather, Debussy had something else to say.
Breaking up with Debussy was, in the end, only a matter of efficiency, and it was not that Do-yoon belittled the relationship with him.
“okay. Thank you.”
Doyoon remembered the selfless kindness he had shown throughout his cradle period. It was very valuable.
So, Doyun decided to leave a small gift for Debussy.
“…later, when the time comes.”
“yes?”
“The Ramujin Desert in the southwest of the continent. A red-skinned elf should live there.”
Debussy suddenly wanted to say something like nonsense, but for now, he listened in silence. Because Doyoon was not the kind of person to talk nonsense.
“Elves living in the desert are rare, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find them. Hand this to her.”
Do-yoon took out a bundle of parchment he had prepared and handed it to Debussy. In it were written words admitting that he was Enoch and urging the blood demon to repay his debt. She will definitely help Debussy as Do-yoon requested.
It doesn’t matter if Debussy opens the parchment. The contents of the parchment were coded so that only those who had learned blood magic could understand them.
While living with Debussy, Doyoon thought that this race of vampires would be a good match for blood magic.
If he can find her, it will be a great opportunity for Debussy.
“…”
Debussy received it, inspected it indifferently, and soon treasured it in his bosom.
“and?”
“That woman will be your strength.”
“I get it.”
There were no long conversations. But the meaning was conveyed. The two of them had always talked like this.
“Let’s say it’s a gift given on the way to parting.”
“Thank you.”
Debussy asked no more. Who she is, how Do-yoon knows her, and why he doesn’t explain more.
He must have a reason for not speaking. Because Doyoon is that kind of person. I thought so.
“bye.”
“See you again.”
It was there. Enoch and Debussy shook hands lightly and turned their backs without regret.
The two got on different wagons, but they had the same intention in their hearts.
They prayed that someday, they would be able to face each other on the same battlefield.

Eloah, riding in the same carriage as Doyoon, could not sit comfortably because of her nervousness.
On the other hand, Millaine smiled and treated the two exceptionally.
“It will take a while to get to the guild house, everyone, have a snack! This is a magical warehouse, so the fruit is very fresh and cold!”
“thank you.”
Doyoon did not refuse Millaine’s sincerity out of courtesy.
However, Sophie didn’t take the refreshment to her mouth, keeping an eye on her, as if something was uncomfortable.
“Sophie Sado? What’s wrong? Where are you uncomfortable?”
“Oh no…! I’m just… ki, nervous…”
“Don’t be nervous! All guild members will welcome you like family!”
“yes…”
Sophie responded appropriately so that Millaine would not be worried, and glanced at Elroa.
Sophie was worried about Eloa. The way she looked at Doyoon was very strange. How to say, my sense as a woman kept stabbing me.
Even, of course, such a great beauty.
‘My breasts are so big…’
Sophie, through the keen senses of a spirit creature, noticed that a breast of a size incomparable to hers was hidden inside Eloa’s ceremonial armor.
It was a body type that could never be found in her clan, with her small breasts and extremely developed lower body.
Sophie focused her senses on Doyoon’s crotch. And he let out a sigh of relief. His load wasn’t reacting at all.
Considering that he kept dreaming every time he was with him, it was truly fortunate.
‘As the hero said… I wonder if the pelvis is my preference…?’
Sophie just thumped her chest. Obviously, Doyoon did not deny the warrior’s words.
But that doesn’t mean being careless. Aside from Doyoon’s taste, Elroa was so beautiful.
Sophie wiggled her pelvis in uneasiness.
“Okay, we have arrived!”
The carriage arrived at the Guild House of the World Tree.
“Wow…”
The cadets who got off the wagon were impressed by the magnificent exterior of the guild house.
It was a building resembling a nobleman’s mansion, feeling the status of the No. 1 guild. In particular, the thick tree trunks that wrap around the outer wall of the building were impressive.
Sophie felt a fairly refreshing, pleasant energy emanating from the building. It was such a refreshing vibe.
‘Is it coming from the tree trunk…?’
Perhaps, that tree trunk seemed to be playing a role.
Do-yoon and the cadets entered the house and listened to the briefing while being guided by Millain.
There was no content whatsoever. First of all, I was told to be assigned a room today and to freely look around the inside of the building.
However, while listening to the briefing, Sophie pulled Doyoon’s collar.
“yes?”
“Hey, Doyoon-sang… no, Doyoon-ssi…”
She whispered something into Doyoon’s ear.
Doyoon heard it and his eyes lit up. This, luck was surely following me from the start.
“The official joining ceremony and training is scheduled for tomorrow. For now, just follow the person who is the number of cats over there and get assigned a room. Now, then…”
“Now, wait.”
Eloah stopped Millain from talking.
“Sado Doyoon Han… Let me talk to you.”
“Ah, come to think of it, it’s not a regular contract, so there must be a lot of things to adjust. Apostle Doyoon Han, would you like to follow the Master?”
“Yes.”
Doyoon nodded and followed Eloah, who was walking stiffly. Apparently, it seemed that something had come.
Every time Eloa took a step up the stairs, she felt her heart pound uncontrollably. Doyoon could also feel her heartbeat.
“I will bring refreshments~”
Millaine left the two of them in the waiting room, hummed and left.
As the hums receded out of the door, silence settled inside the reception room.
“…”
“…”
Eloa couldn’t overcome the awkwardness of this silence and rolled her eyes as if she was shaking.
‘Oh, what should I do? What should I do?’
Her mind was so complex. I didn’t know what to do with my luck.
warrior? I missed you? No, it wasn’t. She was still not 100% sure that Doyoon was the warrior.
So what do you say? Are you a warrior? no, not this one either. If your thoughts are really just a delusion, how will you handle the embarrassment after that?
Eloa put her hands on her knees and bowed her head, unable to open her mouth until the end.
Seeing this, Doyoon shook his head inwardly.
‘I’ll have to start with me.’
Doyun organized his thoughts for a while.
“Here you are! I’m busy with the new guild members, so let’s talk slowly with the two of us~”
In the meantime, Millaine came in, put down the tea and refreshments, and went out again. Of course, Eloah couldn’t open her mouth until then.
The fragrant smell of tea calmly filled the room. Do-yun, who was about to speak before putting the tea in his mouth, smelled the scent and opened his eyes.
‘This car…’
Enoch had enjoyed gourmet food in his previous life.
Gourmet was one of the few hobbies he used to keep his eyes on while running nonstop toward his goal. Because it was a way to survive from endlessly accumulating stress due to regression.
He also enjoyed tea ceremonies, but he especially liked the special tea leaves of the Guild House’s exclusive chef, commonly known as ‘Uncle’.
Everyone in the guild, regardless of gender or age, called him uncle. He was a man with a big belly and a messy beard, and he had a warm impression that made him fall asleep just looking at him, but his cooking skills were unmatched.
Unusually, he did all the meals and snacks for dozens of guild members by himself without using an assistant cook, but in the process, he did not allow anyone to enter his kitchen.

Just one person. Only Eloa, a full-bodied chick, used to come in and out of his kitchen to get snacks.
‘I managed to learn the secret.’
He was an uncle who did not tell anyone about his cooking recipes. Enoch, too, couldn’t find out the secret of his tea leaves for 18 times.
It was my uncle who did that. Apparently, he couldn’t stand the insistence of the chick chirping that he would give the hero a ride.
Doyoon lifted the teacup and savored the scent.
“…that’s a nostalgic scent.”
Eloah lifted her head.
“…Yes?”
In a trembling voice, without even realizing it, she replied with respectful words.
What did you just… say? Did I hear you wrong?
‘It must be… nostalgic… incense…’
Doyoon closed his eyes and sipped his tea.
“…!”
Even that was the same. The habit of sipping a very small amount of tea water and spreading it thinly all over the mouth to savor the fragrance.
It was the same as the warrior.
“Eloah.”
Eloah looked at Doyoon blankly with her eyes wide open.
“I don’t know where to begin.”
Doyoon looked at the chick and put the teacup down.
“Ahhh…”
Eloa’s heart raced as if it would explode.
She opened her mouth and made an incomprehensible sound.
I still couldn’t believe it.
really… really…
‘really…?’
As if Elroa was bewitched, she removed her butt from her seat. Her legs trembled.
and.
“Let’s hug each other for the first time in a while, my chick.”
I ran to the warrior.
