21 – stimulation and growth (1)

The day after I received help from Vuir, whom I didn’t expect at all.

“… … .”

As always, Vuir just talked about what he wanted to say and unilaterally cut off contact.

As a result, Claire had to stay awake all night.

What question did you ask Baek Woo-jin?

What kind of answer did Baek Woo-jin give?

Also, wouldn’t he have added useless sagittarius besides that?

I couldn’t sleep because of the thoughts and worries that hung over my tail.

-Beep beep~

An unnecessarily breezy sound coming from the wrist.

Claire, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, turned her gaze to her wrist.

She unbuttoned her shirt and rolled up her wrist.

A line of message appeared on the brightly shining screen of the smart watch.

[ (｀∇´ゞ It’s morning!! You promised to teach the white child~ Hurry up and get ready!!]

‘… … Should I convert?’

She was pretty sincere.

She thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to retire to a secluded countryside where there were no people.

“Whoa.”

Contrary to what Claire had thought, she got out of bed to go see Baek Woo-jin.

She had never run away since she was born, so she decided to respond calmly without turning her back on this incident.

Waking up from bed, she first tidied up the clothes she had been wearing since yesterday. Then I went straight into the bathroom and drenched myself in cold water.

‘All I have to do is act as usual.’

as if you don’t know anything

As if nothing had happened.

just like usual

After cooling her head with cold water, she stood in front of the closet using her divine power to properly shake off the moisture that clung to her body.

Unlike other priests who often enjoy outdoor activities, there were no clothes that could be called ‘private clothes’ in her closet.

Just a pure white priest’s uniform and black suit worn in public, and a shirt underneath.

Her eyes turned to a corner.

There was an envelope containing a bikini I bought with my kids two days ago.

‘… … Come to your senses.’

Claire’s blue eyes turned to the top of the envelope.

‘If that’s it… … .’

her hand moved.

**

Exactly one day after Hana Baek awakened his ability.

“hehehehe~”

Sitting in a chair eating cereal, he looked more energetic than usual. No, it will actually be full of energy under the influence of mana. And.

Charrr-

Food intake increased threefold.

It was only after he had finished a carton of cereal and two cartons of milk that he sat down and finished his meal with a satisfied expression on his stomach.

“If there is something wrong with your body, tell me without hiding it.”

“I understand~ Really… You’ve been saying that since yesterday.”

The guy who was washing the dishes after taking the dishes he was using to the sink answered bluntly. However, I could see the corner of his slightly exposed mouth twitching upwards.

‘It seems that there is nothing wrong with the body, but… .’

It was clear that something had changed on the outside.

However, that part was not something I could be involved in, and above all, the change itself was not entirely negative, so I decided not to touch it.

“Prepare another one.”

“sister?”

The guy who puts the drained bowl on the shelf pours water into the coffee pot.

I don’t really want to drink it, but I don’t have to, but now drinking the coffee he makes in the morning has become a habit.

widely-!

The port switch is down.

And the front door opened.

In line with the approaching footsteps, Hana Baek sets a coffee cup with a faint scent on the table and pulls a chair to sit next to me.

Within seconds Claire entered the kitchen and I briefly lowered the coffee cup I was about to drink.

“Good morning.”

As usual, she slightly bowed her head to say hello.

However, the clothes she wore were different from usual.

A black hat worn over the head.

A white tank top that was short enough to show off his forearms and belly.

A training suit that adheres to the skin and clearly shows the curves of the lower body.

I’ve been seeing her for six years, but this is the second time she’s worn anything other than a suit and a priest’s uniform.

The first was a swimsuit two days ago.

‘… … Is this also the influence of one hundred and one?’

I glanced at Baek Ha-na, who was sitting next to me and sipping coffee with melted chocolate.

The guy who would normally jump up and run towards her was scrutinizing Claire with a strange gaze.

I slightly clenched my fist and pressed the top of his head.

“Keep!!”

“What are you doing rudely?”

Baek Ha-na finally put down the glass she was holding and greeted Claire.

“Hello sister… … .”

“Yes… .”

awkward greetings.

I watched the two for a while before opening my mouth.

“Sit down for now.”

“All right.”

She sat across from me and took the coffee cup that Baek Ha-na had prepared.

“thanks. Miss Hana.”

“yes… … .”

Hororok-

The two quietly sipped coffee in their mouths, and I spoke to Baek Ha-na.

“As I said yesterday, Claire will teach you again from today.”

“… Will Woo-jin teach you in the evening?”

“yes.”

Claire, who is at the top of the enhancement class, is in charge of the body, and I plan to teach the flowering of abilities and the use of magical power myself.

“I… … .”

Claire, who was quietly drinking coffee, carefully raised her hand.

“what.”

“Perhaps… If you don’t mind, I would also like to observe the professor’s education.”

“It doesn’t matter, but there won’t be anything helpful for you.”

“it’s okay.”

“… … so that.”

“thank you.”

She won’t get anything out of it because she’ll only teach the really basic stuff. Personally, I wanted to tell him to use that time for himself a little more, but he didn’t bother to add anything behind his back because he hoped so much.

After that, the three of us, including myself, quietly drank coffee, and when everyone’s cups were empty, Claire stood up and said to Baek Ha-na.

“I’ll be out in the yard first, so come out when you’re ready.”

“yes… I’ll be leaving soon.”

She greeted me briefly and got up from her seat. And that’s when Claire left the front door.

“I-I’ll change my clothes too!!”

“Don’t come, go straight away.”

He didn’t respond to my words and ran to his room.

‘It’s still the same that I can’t understand what’s inside.’

Hana Paek reappeared in front of me only after I arranged the empty glasses and sat down in the study.

“Uh, how are you?”

A tank top with the same design as Claire’s, and dolphin pants that expose her thighs.

“… … wear only at home Never go out.”

For an instant, the corner of Baek Ha-na’s mouth twitched. But he shook his head and asked me again.

“Kuhm! Okay. But what about it?”

“… … It suits you.”

“yes?”

“… … scram.”

The guy smiles and slowly closes the door to the study and steps backwards. And through a slightly gaping gap.

“Uhh.”

Showing a stupid face, I closed the door and ran.

I think it would be okay to increase the intensity of training a little.

**

Claire’s map was finished only after the blue sky turned to sunset.

They said they took breaks and ate lunch, but considering it was the first day, it was a bit long.

“Ahhh… … .”

Seeing that the guy who ran out excitedly fell down with his head on the table, you can tell that she was sincere.

“Professor… You’re a good cook, too.”

“It only increased because I did it.”

It was only lightly prepared, but Claire was very satisfied with the dinner and praised me.

“Ah, I’ll clean up… .”

“All right, sit down.”

In order not to affect Baek Hana as much as possible, she has been using her body to do housework, but there is no need to do that anymore.

It was enough to move the mana lightly.

With it, empty bowls and cutlery regain their original cleanliness and fly to the shelf, stacking up one after another.

“One hundred and one.”

“Uhh… ?”

The boy raised his head with half-closed eyes, perhaps because he was tired.

‘The guy who was fine when eating… … .’

I had no intention of raising him to become the world’s best Awakener, so it was okay to let him rest for a day. However, I couldn’t allow that because I was endlessly withdrawn by him.

If you let him rest once, I’ll let him rest again and again if he gets tired and struggling.

It’s for him and for me. And it’s something I shouldn’t have done even for the sake of the girl who rolled the guy at my request.

“Today will only last an hour, so keep your eyes open and keep an eye on it.”

“eww… … Can’t we just take a little break? Or maybe I just want to take a shower… .”

“One hundred and one.”

“… … yes… .”

The guy who had been sagging at the table slowly straightened his back and straightened his posture.

“Claire.”

“Yes. professor.”

“I need to become a teaching aid for a while.”

“Gladly… … .”

She got up and came towards me.

I handed her the black cloth I had prepared in advance and said.

“Cover your eyes with it.”

“Yes.”

No questions asked.

She has been like that ever since. Do what I tell you to do without asking.

“It’s a very simple training method, so watch it. I’ll give you an explanation later.”

“… … yes.”

Leaving her with the cloth I gave her tightly tied over her eyes, I moved to the other side of the dining table. Then, using magic power, he raised a spoon into the air.

‘This should be enough.’

While coughing up blood several times, the mana accumulated in the body was slightly released. At the same time, she, who had been standing quietly, shook her shoulders slightly.

On the other hand, Baek Ha-na was just staring at Claire with a face that didn’t know anything.

“Claire.”

“Yes. professor.”

“Don’t bump into anything and hold on to me.”

“All right.”

She moved slowly.

If she set her mind to it, she would be able to catch me in an instant by following the magic I channeled, but since she knew the purpose of this, she moved very slowly and walked toward me so that Baekhana could see it.

I slowly backed away and sent the spoon I had just floated in the air towards her.

Whiik-

She dodged the spoon with a slight twist of her head. Not just chairs and tables. Other than that, he was gradually narrowing the distance from me without bumping into things like tables.

After two more blows of the spoon, I spoke to Baekhana.

“As you see now, depending on how you handle magic, instead of sight—”

prison.

A warm body temperature was added to his arms along with the delicate scent of flowers.

When I lowered my head slightly, the shiny, flowing blonde hair caught my eye.

She was chasing me and hugging me.

“Claire.”

“… … Yes.”

“Good work. Stop untying the cloth.”

“… … yes.”

She slowly released her hand from my waist and backed away. Then I undid the cloth that was covering my eyes.

Her pale white skin slowly began to heat up as if it were being heated by the sun.

‘It was said to hold it lightly, but there must have been a misunderstanding.’

I turned my head again and looked at Baekhana. But aren’t his half-closed eyes wide open as if they were struck by lightning?

even.

“Me too!!”

Perhaps it was the smoke that was hanging on weakly, he got up from his chair and ran towards me.

“me too!! I will too!!”

“… … I would have done it without saying anything.”

“cloth!!”

“Described-“

“It’s fine!!”

“… … .”

I don’t know what’s good, but I gave him a cloth.

The guy who received the cloth from me took a few steps back and quickly tied the cloth over his eyes.

“So, do it?”

Then, alone, he opened his arms wide and began to approach me.

I watched him for a moment, then I raised a spoon and flew it at him.

Fast-!!

A small lump formed on the boy’s forehead.
