127 – Who is helping whom?

Helicopter landed under the garden.

As you approach, the back door opens.

When I step on the footrest and climb into the helicopter, the open door closes.

Only then did the noisy propeller noise disappear.

“Hello!!”

Instead, the priestess’s overly spirited voice filled the void.

“It’s called Na Yeon-joo, who came to serve the professor!!”

“Let’s go.”

“Ah, I see!!”

Na Yeon-joo has a lively appearance as much as her voice.

She glanced at me in the reflection in the window and launched the helicopter back up.

“Where can I take you?”

“… to the academy.”

“Okay! It will take about an hour!”

Guess who isn’t Yu-Hee-Shin’s priest?

Where the hell did you learn such a baseless tone?

“professor!!”

“… You can hear it even if it is small.”

“Ah, sorry.”

She scratched her head and started looking at me again.

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“hehehe, are you really in a relationship with our executor?”

Eyes that sparkle too much.

There was only pure curiosity in it.

“yes.”

“Wow!!”

Na Yeon-ju put her hands on her cheeks and jumped up.

And the helicopter stumbled.

“Ah! Sin, sorry!!”

Na Yeon-ju grabbed the control stick again.

Only then did the staggering helicopter stabilize.

I turned my head and looked at the child’s face reflected in the window.

“age.”

“Yes? Ah, I’m turning 19 this year!!”

One year younger than one hundred.

peculiar speech.

【Cracks dyed dark red.】

[All of the clergymen looked at the rift in the hands of the cultists with anxious eyes.]

【At that time, a crack with an ominous light shook greatly.】

【Supply vehicle protrudes out of the rift with a loud sound.】

【Broken windows, blood-stained exterior, tattered doors.】

【A handful of wind passed between the paladins holding weapons.】

[The gorgeous golden hair that shines brightly is blowing in the wind.]

[The priest’s robe dyed red, as if it had gone through a fierce battle.]

【Coldly sinking blue eyes capture the ‘youngest’ priest with both eyes pierced and heart pierced.]

One of the pieces of information stored in my head was reproduced.

youngest priest.

The ability to freely manipulate anything that can be mounted.

The youngest priest escapes the Rift with the members of the Priests Union who have fallen into a trap.

Although there were a number of seriously injured people whose body parts were cut or pierced.

All that died was a young priest behind the wheel.

In other quarters, only the situation is slightly different, and the young priest dies in the process of escaping the priests who have fallen into a trap.

Afterwards, at the hands of Claire, who returned after arranging the rampant 14th stage rift, the cultists face death with their eyes dug out and their hearts pulled out alive.

‘I’m playing.’

It’s like when I first met Claire.

I was sure the youngest priest was the kid sitting in the cockpit now.

“Are you thinking of going to the academy?”

“You mean the academy?”

“yes.”

The boy smiled and scratched his head.

“hehehe, I’m ashamed to tell you, but I’m really bad at studying.”

“You won’t have to take the test.”

“oh!! Misunderstanding!! That’s not what I meant, but I wasn’t interested in studying… … .”

“is it.”

“lol… … I am very ashamed to say this in front of the professor. I don’t enjoy manipulating things like this!!”

“i get it.”

I have no intention of forcibly enrolling a guy I don’t like.

If you voluntarily change your mind, the story will change.

“Is there anything else you want to ask?”

“… Is it okay to use it?”

“Unless it’s about Claire.”

“oh!!”

The boy opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.

He is truly comparable to Maria, who resembles Lee Ye-sol and hides her emotions well.

“… Then there is none.”

A very dead voice.

I have no intention of changing my words.

“I’ll close my eyes for a bit, so wake me up when I get there.”

“Yes.”

I closed my eyes.

The news that Baek Hana woke up yesterday was heard through the Viche.

Also, the condition is not too bad.

Now, due to depleted magical power, the connection with the secret body is temporarily cut off, so additional information cannot be obtained.

For that reason, I recalled the accumulated memories in the ring.

‘Pretending to be okay’ is one of his specialties, so I can’t be relieved until I see and confirm it myself.

Fragments of memories slowly flowing in.

They settled down in my head one after another and took on their original form.

—… love that person

These were the first words Baek Hana uttered after waking up from a nightmare.

‘He’ is probably referring to me.

I felt a small ripple in my barely subdued emotions.

-okay.

Claire answered calmly.

Baek Ha-na then tried to apologize to her, but Claire interrupted Baek-hana. And her answer that followed was a remark that even made me embarrassed.

-I’ll help you.

The headache that had disappeared returned.

**

“professor!! We have arrived!!”

I opened my eyes to the voice of Na Yeon-ju, who had regained her energy before I knew it.

‘Did you land in the parking lot assigned to the temple?’

I thought I would land at the branch closest to the academy, but he took me right to my destination.

‘It’s like advertising that I’ve been out in public.’

Since they flew noisily to the villa where the base was located, if they weren’t idiots, it would be easy to guess who the real culprit was who attacked the branch.

It’s not the picture I wanted, but it’s also my fault for not rejecting it, so I decided not to think about it for a long time.

“What’s the schedule after that?”

“It’s coming back right away!! I have to go and have dinner and do my overdue vacation homework… … .”

It was very funny to see him laugh and then go downhill when he moved on to his homework.

“Get down.”

“… … yep?”

I got off the helicopter leaving behind the guy who looked a little dumbfounded.

“Ah, school, professor?!”

The humbling voice was followed by the sound of the helicopter door opening.

“Hey, ho, did I do something wrong?”

The guy who quickly ran to my side looked up at me with a worried expression and wiggled his fingers.

The look of an innocent child.

“Let’s take a day off. I will solve your homework.”

“oh!! Really?!”

“yes.”

“Wow!!”

The boy jumped up and spread his arms. Then he ran up to me and hugged me tightly.

“I will become a fan of the professor from today!!”

“You don’t need it, so leave. It’s going to get in the way.”

“hehehe~”

I pressed lightly on my forehead and the guy fell off.

‘If coincidence is meant to be, then it must be fate.’

The fate of the guy may have changed differently due to the variable called me.

But if you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know.

“Uhhh, you don’t have to do homework… !!”

Since we met like this, it would be okay to take care of him a little.

It also has abilities that are beneficial to me in many ways.

Taking the guy who was humming, I first went to the Yu-Hee-Shin temple in the street of light, not the mansion.

“Have you been there?”

Lee Ye-sol glanced at Na Yeon-joo, who was standing next to me, and said hello.

“Have you eaten dinner?”

“I was just trying to get ready.”

“Good.”

I pushed the back of the frozen guy who had been humming a song a while ago.

“Come to the mansion with this child in 30 minutes.”

“I will.”

After hearing Lee Ye-sol’s answer, I left the temple and left Yeon-joo Na there.

‘There are two of them active.’

You would think it was stealthy, but it’s just funny.

I had only observed them briefly, and I had arrived at the mansion.

The mansion, which had returned after three days, had not changed much from before leaving.

The hallway was still dark with no lights on, and there was no noise that was always heard.

Instead, the fact that the children who were lying in the bedroom, swallowed by nightmares, are gathered in one hundred and one rooms will certainly be a different corner from before leaving.

I quietly walked down the hallway and opened the door to Hana Baek.

The eyes that were watching Baek Hana lying on the bed turned to me.

-Beep, beep!!

Just like when I left, the fairy sitting at Baek Ha-na’s bedside flew towards me with a tearful expression.

After realizing that she was a queen, her arrogance skyrocketed, but she still did not grow from a child with a soft heart.

I said as I grabbed the flying guy with my magical power.

“Everybody stay out.”

The children hesitantly greeted me and left the room.

“… professor.”

“You wait in the study.”

Handing over the fairy to her, he pushed her back as if to drive her out.

Eventually, the door closed and only me and Baek Ha-na were left in the small space.

I approached Baek Ha-na, who was lying quietly as if asleep.

Swoop.

He brushed his messy hair and tidied up the bangs that covered his eyes. A little warmth came from the skin he touched at the tip of his hand.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After a bit of thought, I bent down and put my mouth to the ear of the guy hiding in my hair.

**

Click.

Claire, who was alone in the study after leaving the fairy to the children, turned around.

She opened the door of the study and approached Baek Woo-jin, who entered.

“Professor, uh… … ?”

The distance narrowed in an instant.

A warm and soft touch to the lips.

Claire blinked in a daze at what had happened so quickly.

once.

twice.

third time.

When she blinked exactly three times, Claire’s eyes began to widen. Only then did he realize what had happened.

Swoop.

“… … !!”

Claire trembled at the act of gently pulling her waist.

At the moment when Claire’s mind becomes distant due to her body heating up and her rapid breathing.

“Puha… … !!”

Her lips parted and she felt a little regret, but Claire took a deep breath and collected her breath.

“That, uh, Mr. Woojin… … ?”

She barely regained her breathing and called his name, suppressing the heat on her face that was about to explode.

However, the lover did not answer and pushed his face closer once more.

Claire closed her eyes tightly and lifted her head slightly.

But.

Damn——!!

“Oh… … ?”

What returned was not sweet affection, but a stinging punishment.

Claire opened her eyes in surprise at the pain in her burning forehead. And when he found Baek Woo-jin, who was taking a step back, he blinked blankly.

Baek Woo-jin watched her, then quietly turned around and left the study.

“… … .”

There were many things I wanted to say, and I wanted to ask about what happened a little while ago.

But.

Throbbing—!! Throbbing—!!

Heart beating like it’s going to burst.

A hot face.

Claire was able to leave the study after a long time.
