102 – Summer Festival (1)

The long rainy season is over.

The sky, which had been filled with dark clouds, was as bright as a lie.

Even at dawn when the festival begins.

As if someone gave permission to enjoy the festival.

“I’ll be back~!!”

-Come!!

Baek Ha-na and the fairy with only her head sticking out of her pocket waved their hands eagerly and left the mansion. Claire, who had come out to see them off, quietly turned around.

Baek Woo-jin, the owner of the mansion, said he had work to do early in the morning, and left after flowing mysterious power over the body of the sleeping fairy.

For that reason, Claire and she were the only ones left to look at the house.

“Hmm.”

When Baek Woo-jin went to lecture, the fairy also often went outside, so there were many times like today where he had time alone.

She entered the kitchen and checked the time again with the clock on the wall.

“At least 12 hours.”

Claire took colorful fruit cereal from the cupboard and poured it into a bowl. In the past, it was used with an emphasis on being easy to eat and containing all the necessary nutrients, but now, as time has passed, it has become a favorite food that few people like.

“Hmm, hmmm~♪”

Claire hummed an incomprehensible song as white milk poured over the colorful cereal piled in the bowl.

In the past, it was the same hum that even Vuir had caught on to once, and it was also a hum that was naturally transmitted to Baek Hana.

tweet.

The pleasant chirping of birds through the open window along with the drowsy sunlight made Claire’s ears happy.

She sat down in a chair and took a spoonful of cereal soaked in milk.

crispy, crispy.

The sound of the cereal being crumbled came out of Claire’s mouth every time her closed mouth twitched. Perhaps it was because she had shunned this type of convenience food from the day she started living in the mansion, but for some reason, her current behavior felt like a bit of a deviation.

Enjoying the subtle sweetness of the fruit spreading in your mouth, the very moment Claire opened her mouth to take another big bite of the cereal.

– Oh my gosh.

“Puff… … !!”

A voice that shouldn’t have been heard came through the window that was left open for ventilation, and the cereal on the spoon flew off the table.

Claire turned her head as she hurriedly put the spoon down.

-I’d be grateful if you could open the door~

In front of the slightly open window, Lee Ye-sol, dressed in plain clothes, was smiling and waving.

“Hmm~ It’s amazing. I don’t feel any special magic power, but it’s so cool. Oh, would it be all right to have a cup of coffee?”

“… … .”

Claire quietly chewed and swallowed the cereal, nodding at Yesol Lee who entered the mansion and wandered around the kitchen.

Lee Ye-sol walked around as if it were her own home, cut an instant stick, and took out a small tumbler from her pocket. In order not to use a cup that should not be used, Lee Ye-sol had thoroughly prepared and visited the mansion.

“Professor… … Did you send it?”

“Uhuhu~ Is that so~? How could I go through the maze without the professor’s permission?”

wave angle.

Answering Claire’s question, Lee Ye-sol took ice from the water purifier and sat down.

“… Everyone must be busy.”

“No matter how busy I am, how could I refuse the professor’s request?”

Claire glared at Lee Ye-sol, who answered without losing a single word, with a slightly sullen gaze. Lee Ye-sol smiles a little at the boss’s gaze.

‘You’ve changed a lot.’

The boss in the past was never the one who made such a face. No, he was a person whose expression did not change to the extent that it was questionable whether he had feelings in the first place.

“… What kind of request did you come here for?”

That boss now had a face that made the same woman smile.

Of course, it was a subtle change that only those who had spent a long time would not notice, but at least Lee Ye-sol felt that way.

“It seems that Executor was bothered by being alone.”

“… … ?”

As Claire raised one eyebrow, Lee Ye-sol took a sip of the ice-melting coffee.

“You asked me to be the bailiff for three days.”

“ask?”

“Yes. So, let’s eat quickly and change clothes first.”

Lee Ye-sol took out an old-fashioned camera that was really hard to find from the bag she had brought with her and spoke.

“Uhuhu~ If you have a hobby of taking pictures, it would have been nice if you could have tipped me off.”

“… … .”

Claire’s earlobes burned slightly as she chewed on the cereal. It’s because I never thought he would even say such a thing.

“Ah, Executor’s new hobby was informed by our great and revered man.”

“This ㅆ… … .”

Claire’s words flowed out of her mouth, and the spoon she was holding bent like starch syrup.

“Of course, the professor gave me a word.”

“… … .”

When Baek Woo-jin was mentioned, Claire’s shaking hands calmed down.

She calmed down and shoved the rest of the cereal into her mouth. Then he asked as he cleaned up the empty dishes.

“But why is it three days? The festival will be four days.”

“Ah, that’s what you mean.”

Lee Ye-sol covered her mouth with one hand and laughed at her superior’s question.

“On the last day, the professor said he would take me personally.”

“… … .”

Ye-Sol Lee stroked Claire’s stomach as she turned around and saw that the nape of her neck was turning red.

‘I feel like my stomach is about to burst.’

To be able to spend three days with such a cute boss.

-Here’s a chance to get an advanced healing potion with only 1,000 won!!

-Try the special grilled swamp toad!

-Is it too bad?

Spacious academy grounds.

On the road, the upperclassmen each set up stalls and are engaged in soliciting customers.

‘It’s been 6 years since I graduated… … .’

The 3rd capture team of Milky Way, who is listed as one of the top 10 guilds, is Kim Gyeong-tae, an ice barrier magician. He sighed briefly as he looked around at the noisy students and invited guests.

‘I should have just refused.’

A few weeks ago, a letter arrived with an invitation to the academy’s festival in the name of the chairman. It was the invitation of the chairman himself, not anyone else, so in fact, if there was no special reason, it was appropriate to take a vacation to attend the festival.

Kim Gyeong-tae also attended half of it for that reason, but the other half was because of a phrase written at the end of the letter.

【Repay the favor you received from an old friend.】

At first I didn’t know what that meant.

I know that the chairman is such an eccentric person, so I even thought about whether he was teasing me with meaningless sentences.

But that sentence once, twice, three times… … .

He repeated it over and over again to the point where it was difficult for him to understand, and the long-forgotten memories flashed past his eyes vividly like a lie.

-Beep?!

– What, what ?!

Fall of the 1st semester of the 2nd year.

It was a cute little girl who was sitting on the lawn in front of the old building and forgot chocolate.

I was so surprised that I let it go, and the little girl quickly ran to a nearby tree. However, he kept snooping around to see if he wanted to eat chocolate, and he was so cute that he left the rest of the chocolate there.

It was not a bit of a waste because the price was full and overflowing just by soothing the tired mind and body from the competition.

After that meeting, whenever I was exhausted, I went to the place with chocolate, thinking that we might be able to meet again. And, as luck would have it, after several iterations, I was able to meet the girl again.

-Now, here.

-Beep… … .

The second meeting narrowed the distance.

-Piaa!!

-Hey, don’t hit me. because I’ll give it to you

The third time we met, we became quite close.

-Piaang.

-… what. are you giving me

– Beep!

At the fourth meeting, I received a mysterious gift.

A small sphere created by the light emitted from its body.

I felt it intuitively the moment I received it.

That he met Gi-yeon, who was wandering around the academy.

He swallowed it without hesitation.

No matter how you look at it, it was just the right size to swallow.

Fortunately, the prediction was right, and he, who was one of the mediocre students, took the second place in the second semester evaluation. Strangely enough, I wasn’t feeling too well.

It’s because he hasn’t met the little girl since he received the glowing sphere. Autumn passed, winter came, and even after vacation, he did not return home and waited, but the little girl did not appear.

So I thought.

In fact, the little girl might not have been an illusion created by the glowing sphere.

If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way the little girl who always appears every few days won’t show up. I thought so.

“Damn it… … .”

Kim Kyung-tae clicked his tongue and scratched the back of his head.

‘A child with no patience.’

he insulted himself

If the little girl is not a fantasy but a real existence, it’s because I look so ugly that I gave up after only three months. How easily he gave up on the girl who gave him the opportunity to change his life forever.

Kim Kyung-tae attended the festival with the intention of doing whatever he could if the ‘friend’ written in the letter from the chairman was really that little girl he had met.

‘… … I hope it’s right.’

If it was just a simple prank by the chairman, I think I would just feel uncomfortable rather than angry or depressed.

“But what do I do for the remaining three days… … .”

If he had a girlfriend, he would enjoy watching the festival, but as he was busy with work, Kim Kyung-tae was still single.

-Ah!!

-Oh, you said you didn’t do it by force.

– You touched me really lightly?! Hey!! If you’re going to give advice like that, you do it!!

-Cheap, don’t fight… … .

Even in the midst of overlapping sounds, Kim Kyung-tae’s eyes went back to the girls’ voices that were distinct and catchy.

‘Wow, are they international students?’

A girl with white hair like the first snow in winter and a girl with pink hair like cherry blossoms in spring. And even a girl with beige hair that looked a bit shiny.

There were also two girls next to the three of them, but both had plain black hair.

‘It’s magic kneading.’

A game in which a special glass that melts only with magical power is kneaded into a shape that fits the frame according to a fixed shape frame.

If you inject too much mana, the glass will melt completely, but if you inject too little, it will harden. In addition, without secondary processing, it could be said that it was a game with considerable difficulty because it would break even with a very small impact.

-Hey! one hundred!! you do!! I already spent 30,000 won!!

-Even if you say you like it.

– Oh, I don’t know!! If you lose more here, it’s a complete loss!!

-Okay, so don’t stick around.

Kim Kyung-tae watched the girls, who no matter how he looked at them, seemed to be juniors in the Ganghwa area, and then moved toward them.

If the dark guys were doing that, they would have gone to another place without looking back, but even though they were in different departments, the beautiful juniors were so sad, so as a graduate, I couldn’t help but help.

‘Well, will you hang out for a while?’

I thought that if I won a prize and revealed that I was a graduate, I would be able to spend the day in moderation.

“Yeah… … .”

Fast-!!

With a dull sound, Kim Kyung-tae’s eyes went up.

“… … ?”

“Hey!! Need to focus!! Why are you looking behind you all of a sudden?”

“no… no.”

Baek Ha-na tilted her head for a moment at Idni’s impatient call, then began to focus on the game again.
