61 – Chapter 3. It’s not a technology leak, it’s advice! (2)

The goblin’s transformation basically starts with releasing the mana inside the body.

In a word, ‘transformation’.

Break the ‘barrier of cognitive dissonance’ that surrounds you as if you are an incompetent person.

Instantly release the mana that flows through my body, distracting my peripheral vision.

A series of processes that transform the mana flowed over the body into the goblin’s mask and clothes are accomplished within a short time of less than 0.1 second.

Although the word metamorphosis itself has the meaning of changing in a completely different direction, the word metamorphosis is an archaic word that is not commonly used, so I used the word transformation comfortably.

The truth is the retransformation of magical power.

He just changed his suit into a suit and his mask into a helmet.

For convenience, let us clarify the terminology.

If transformation means changing the form of magical power.

Let’s define metamorphosis as the release of the magical power inside the body out of the skin and at the same time changing into a different form.

If so, has there ever been an entity that can create magical powers with its own costumes?

Has anyone in this world ever undergone a metamorphosis?

There was no

Although there is, it has never been publicly revealed.

‘A secret technique known only to very few people.’

As if I had never been exposed naked to others, and as if Ymir only caught me being naked after transformation, it is a highly advanced technique unknown even on the dark web.

So, when I explained to Seolhee Baek to make clothes based on the goblin’s transformation principle, I intentionally omitted the middle process of ‘explosive release of magical power’.

Just as snow is piled up one by one to make a snowman, he hinted that it would be okay to build up mana and make it into a form of clothing.

But Baek Seol-hee did it.

It’s like making fried chicken, but ‘prepare the chicken. Cut into pieces and coat with dough. Fry in oil. It’s over.’, but it’s no different than adding the process of ‘putting curry powder into the dough’ or ‘fried in oil twice’.

Of course, the oil temperature, the mixing ratio of the dough, or the chicken salting rate were not informed, so a catastrophe occurred in which the dough was all peeled off, but the attempt was good even if the result was sloppy.

“Ugh…”

After removing one of the gowns, Seolhee Baek collected the energy of ice that had spread throughout the room with a melancholy face.

Fortunately, the room was back to normal, and I handed another gown into the room for Seolhee Baek to wear.

“Is Seol-hee okay?”

“I’m fine. If you ask me to pay for this, I’ll do it.”

“It’s fine. It doesn’t look like anything’s broken. And the good news is…it’s happened in this room right now.”

“Yeah….”

Baek Seol-hee covered her face with both hands.

Maybe if something like this happened in front of people?

From now on, I will not be able to carry my face outside for the rest of my life.

Even as a hero, while dealing with a very powerful enemy, what if there was a ‘big explosion’ while the whole world watched?

It wouldn’t be strange if he became a demon on the spot.

I’m a man, so it’s okay because I’ve taken care of my body to some extent.

But if the woman I love is grieved and angry at being humiliated in front of people all over the world, maybe I’ll try to erase it from the world’s memory.

So, the most important thing is to prevent that from happening.

“How did this happen?”

“After making clothes, I thought it would be okay to make clothes right on top of my body, so I created magic…”

“Feel like you slowly pour the water in the bucket and then pour it all out?”

“Yes!”

“It feels like you were trying to slowly open the plastic to open the chicken radish, but then you gave too much force and the chicken radish soup came out from the inside?”

“Exactly!”

Baek Seol-hee even clapped her hands in response to my words.

“It felt just like that!”

“Then the answer is simple. Why don’t you try it with no clothes on?”

“…Yeah?”

“To be precise, only the exposed part of the skin is covered with magic. Why, how about sending out magic with the feeling of applying a moisturizing cream on the body…?”

Assuming an incompetent person, I am talking back as much as possible.

If you understand this in your own way, Baek Seol-hee is great.

“Like this…?”

“Wait! I’ll stay outside. If my clothes are torn again…”

“Ah, that’s it.”

Baek Seol-hee stretched out her right hand.

White gloves formed on her hands, smooth and shiny like latex.

“Would you like to touch it?”

“You won’t get frostbite, will you?”

“It’s okay. It’s just about the temperature of touching ice.”

“then….”

I stretched out my finger on Seolhee Baek’s hand and lightly ran my hand over hers.

“It feels like real ice.”

“Yes. As long as someone doesn’t touch it, I think it will stay in this state as long as it touches my skin. Hmm… Mana is consumed when making it, and isn’t it consumed significantly after making it? Something in better condition than yesterday I guess.”

Even talking to herself, she tilted her head, but in fact, it was because Seolhee Baek also received mana recovery from the hot spring here and quickly replenished her mana.

“Is it because you ate something good?”

“Mr. Seolhee.”

“Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“If you go anywhere and say something like that, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“Okay. Then don’t go somewhere else, just do it in front of Jihwan, right?”

“…If that helps Seol-hee.”

Since I decided to help, I had to help Seolhee Baek as much as possible.

-What? The goblin Jihwan…?

-No! First of all, you have to hide it!

– Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t hide you, I just caught you out of curiosity.

-Why did you help me? Did you intentionally approach me? What is the reason? Why are you so nice to me…?

-…Don’t appear in front of me again. If we ever meet again, then you’re my enemy.

for the same thing to happen.

I have to create a mental debt to Baek Seol-hee as much as possible.

“Anyway, Mr. Seol-hee, let’s make clothes. I’ll go to the convenience store and buy clothes for Mr. Seol-hee.”

“How long does it take to the convenience store?”

“Maybe a 30-minute car ride? Round-trip.”

“I’d rather do this than that.”

Baek Seol-hee got up from her seat and stood with her body stretched out.

“……Freeze.”

With a low voice, Baek Seol-hee began releasing magic power from both hands.

Anyway, I turned my head away, worried that she would ‘break the shell’ instead of metamorphosis again, but fortunately, it seemed that it would not explode this time.

Saaa.

Rather, Baek Seol-hee controlled her magical powers delicately to the extent that even with her own eyes, she could see a stable aura.

Even in a direction I hadn’t thought of.

“Wow.”

White smoke like dry ice leaked out of Seolhee Baek’s gown from her wrists and ankles.

And that white smoke, Seolhee Baek’s mana, slowly began to cling to it as if covering the top of Seolhee Baek’s gown.

shit, shit.

Ice crystals began to cling to the top of the gown, and soon the fluttering gown took shape.

“…her.”

What should I say?

That’s why hotel gowns are made of materials, so if you change the shape slightly, it becomes the same form as a V-neck dress.

I even covered it with ice made of mana, so Snow White was standing in front of me with his arms wide open, wearing a white coat made of snowflakes.

“awesome.”

It is a sincere admiration.

And at the same time, it feels like my eyes are wide open.

‘I need to learn this.’

Whenever I transform, it has always been basic to release mana from my body, but if I use that, maybe I won’t be naked…!

“Seolhee. It’s really cool. You can go outside like this.”

“Doesn’t that feel a bit strange?”

“It feels like ice armor because the clothes aren’t flimsy and hard, but it’s still better than wearing a white gown.”

“Is that so? Then at least it’s possible to fool people’s eyes.”

Seolhee Baek reached out to me.

“Thank you, Mr. Jihwan. Thanks to this, I don’t think I’ll get caught sneaking into Sejong Island and getting caught.”

“Please be careful when leaving Ulleungdo and going to Sejong Island dormitory.”

“Yes. It’s a pity. I was able to talk with Jihwan-ssi for the first time in a long time. …Shall we come to Ulleungdo on time next time?”

“If it’s a story, you can share it as much as you like on Sejong Island.”

“But there are more eyes than here.”

“You said you would take care of it if a scandal broke out earlier?”

“Huh, it’s still a bit like when a scandal breaks out.”

Baek Seol-hee smiled and whispered softly.

“If a scandal breaks out, Ji-hwan will not be able to become a librarian, so Ji-hwan will not be able to read the books he wants to read, right?”

“…for now?”

“Then I have to be as considerate as possible. So that Ji-hwan can read the books he wants to read in the library. I can’t take away Ji-hwan’s daily life because of my circumstances.”

Baek Seol-hee held my hand again.

“Please take good care of me from now on, sir?”

“Am I your teacher?”

“Sure. He’s my psychological counselor. Specifically…”

Kwaaak.

“I’ll contact you often whenever I need comfort. Maybe, often.”

After returning from Ulleungdo.

-Baek Seol-hee patrols the East Sea! Develop a new costume!

Baek Seol-hee succeeded in safely (?) returning to Sejong Island.

Fortunately, the excuse of going to feel the spirit of the East Sea while taking off the Taegeuk watch in the name of testing this ability worked better than expected, and Baek Seol-hee returned to the academy without much scandal.

and midweek.

“Hello sir!”

“…hi?”

“Would you like to dine with a super-accurate beautiful girl?”

Ymir came to see me.
