“Ummm…”

With a low moan, Veronica stood up. Veronica, who had been getting up while staggering, looked around in amazement.

“why?”

“Ah, ah, everything, I’m glad…”

Letting out a sigh of relief, Veronica scratched her cheek.

And I laughed out loud as if I was embarrassed.

“I thought it was a dream that you were resurrected.”

“No way.”

“…Can I touch it one more time?”

touch? where

I was taken aback, and Veronica pursed her lips in puzzlement.

Then he gets out of bed and sneaks up on me.

Into the deep, beautiful green-blue eyes, there was an obvious favor.

What is contained in the long legs that gently approach like a cat’s footsteps is unmistakable affection.

In front of her smiling as she approached me, I was as stiff as a mouse in front of a cat, unable to do anything.

“…runs… haaa…”

She approached me without hesitation and put her hand on my chest.

“…You’re running too much? This is the aftereffects of resurrection, what… Is that so? Do you want to be treated? Huh? Do you want to use a cure? No. No. Do you want to wait?

I can feel the overflowing concern and affection. The more earnestly she spoke, the faster my heart beat.

“No. Something like that.”

Due to the nature of the unit I was in, there were many fights with terrorists, especially those who occupied buildings.

In order to catch the terrorists off guard, the operation department or the government of the country step forward to attract their attention through negotiations, infiltrate through other routes, reduce the number of terrorists as much as possible, secure the safety of the hostages, and eliminate them. It was a mission.

As such, they mainly used only great swords or wires until the full-scale engagement, but the newcomers were quite nervous because they had to use only these weapons against guys with guns.

That’s why my senior, Mr. Enrico, who liked comics and games, said this whenever new recruits came.

– Count to decimals when you’re nervous.

2. 3. 5. 7. 11. 13. 17. 19.

After counting the prime numbers, the crazy bitch’s beating heart gradually stabilizes.

phew.

“Well…?”

Veronica tilted her head in puzzlement. The moment her heart started beating again at that sight, she smiled broadly.

“Anyway, I’m glad. Really…”

“hahaha. Yes.”

“Whoa… I’m relieved now that I’m embarrassed… Huh?”

Then Veronica fiddled with her cheek.

And I tilt my head again.

“Did you wash my face?”

“Huh? Huh.”

“Whoops. Be nice. Did you clean it after knowing that I hate washing with magic?”

“…right?”

“Huhuhu~. Thank you~! You’re nice~!”

Long, pretty fingers dig into my hair. Veronica, who stroked her pleasantly, quietly went into the bathroom. Only then did I let out a sigh.

When there was a wall in my heart, no matter what I did, there was not much emotion conveyed.

Of course, it wasn’t as bad as that of a beauty like Veronica, but it didn’t make me this nervous.

It shouldn’t be like this.

Anyway.

I really feel like giving up on anything.

“Whoa…”

Let’s stay calm.

-Shoot aaa…!!

“Uhhhh”

The sound of running water in the bath and the groaning of the freshness of washing.

And is it because of the joy-filled hum?

My heart was about to beat again.

But I wasn’t worried.

Sitting cross-legged, I thought of Enrique’s subordinate, the Vietnamese sergeant Nguyen, who had successfully completed his revenge and retired.

His teeth as white as rice noodles were wonderful, and he always told me when he went out on missions.

When you find peace of mind, recite the Heart Sutra.

Thank you. Sergeant Nguyen.

I will be grateful for your advice.

When I think about it, his teeth as white as rice noodles come to mind.

No, I can’t remember the person’s face, and the rice noodles…

-Uhhhh

I opened my mouth, concentrating on raising my holy power and clearing my mind that had become like a calm lake.

“Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Landscape Material Bodhisattva Haengsim Banya Paramita Paramita Jogyeon Oh Ongongdo All Highly Expensive…”

“Hyeonu~!? What are you talking about?”

“Ugh.”

Thrown on the shore of a quiet lake was Veronica’s full voice mingled with hum.

It was like a huge rock, not a stone.

At that moment, the mind is shaken and the calm is broken.

this.

“…Really dangerous.”

The wall in my heart disappeared, and I became too weak to external stimuli.

First of all, I have to train my mind, which has been weakened by the wall of my heart.

I ended up not being in the room and came out.

While I was wandering through the corridors and gathering my thoughts, Cecil and Karin came out with their luggage.

“Where are you going?”

“Wherever you go. I have to come back. I’m busy.”

Well, even though he’s the Prince of the Principality, he can’t stay here all the time.

I nodded and looked at Cecile.

Blue short hair, delicate face shape.

The beauty, who is characterized by sharp eyes that look a bit stubborn, was puzzled when our eyes met.

“why?”

“Um. After all, you’re not.”

Looking at him, my heart didn’t really flutter.

It’s really serenity itself.

“…What, you bastard? What’s not to say?”

The fact that my heart is responding only to Veronica is probably because when she had a wall in her heart, she was definitely more involved than other people.

As such, after the wall in my heart disappeared, the afterglow is moving my heart even more strongly.

“So what about me?”

I snorted as Karin smiled and approached me.

“No more you. You girl.”

The two beauties grumble and walk down the aisle.

However, it is true that he received help, so he decided to see him off outside the inn.

“Oh. And please come to the duchy next time.”

“why?”

“You came to meet death. There are countless mages who study death. I want you to explain about death and resurrection.”

“That’s not difficult, but… is there anything you can explain?”

“Uh… I came to meet death? Even if I didn’t get the law of death…”

“The law of death?”

I activated the eye that sees death, and at that moment Cecil and Karin freaked out and raised their magical powers.

“this?”

“Ugh…”

“This, this…”

What spread around me was a kind of barrier.

A space where reality and the underworld are half mixed.

If there is death in that space, death will appear and you can talk to him from then on.

In fact, the most important thing is not to create this space, but the right to negotiate with death, but they seemed to focus on creating this space itself.

“This, this is the true law of death…”

“…fire.”

Karin swallowed a gulp and activated her magic.

A small spark formed in her hand, and I laughed and shook my head.

“In the name of death. Your magic is forbidden here.”

-Pak!!

The spark created by magic disappeared.

The magic cast by the Archmage.

“This… the same thing that Kronos’ subordinate did before…”

“Don’t compare it to something low like that. This is more advanced.”

Because it’s a skill that can only be obtained by satisfying death.

“Let’s go to the principality right now!!”

Two archmages with upturned eyes clung to me.

The fragrant female body tickled her nose and pressed her body here and there, but…

I wasn’t particularly nervous either.

“That’s later. I have some work to do.”

“Really? Really?”

“But I don’t know if this will be a study.”

“Because we’ll take care of that! Use it once when the wizards gather!”

“Yes. Yes. Anyway, good job, so go.”

The two of them, who have been asked many times, get on a carriage and leave.

Watching them walk away, I turned my head.

great. I guess I’ve gotten used to it.

Now, if you see Veronica, you can’t react differently, right?

“Hyunwoo!! Oh, where did you go!!”

I went back to my room confidently, and when Veronica, who was wet with only a towel wrapped around her, ran to me and hugged me, I sighed.

it’s still far

I need to do some more training.

***

Hyeonu has been strange since his resurrection.

Veronica narrowed her eyes and looked at Hyeonu, who was sitting next to her.

“why?”

That expression of not knowing anything is so nasty that I want to pinch it.

“Ouch!”

So Veronica, who had pinched him lightly, tried to stroke his cheek. However.

“Hey. This is delicious.”

Hyeonu took a sip of alcohol, removing his face casually.

If it had been before he was resurrected, he wouldn’t have paid much attention to stroking his cheek or biting his hand.

Strangely, I felt as if I had become cautious about treating myself.

“…..Ugh.”

no way.

Was he mad at me for not listening to him?

What if he hates me?

So what to do?

The moment she thought that, Veronica’s heart started beating like crazy like an earthquake.

“Tongue, Hyunwoo? Do you want to try this?”

Trembling with fear, Veronica hurriedly poked the snack with a fork.

When I handed out the slightly salty seasoned sausage, Hyeonu looked at it for a while before holding out his hand.

Veronica shook her head.

“Feed me, I’ll feed you. Ah~”

I saw.

Although he maintained his characteristic bluntness and expressionless expression, Hyeonu’s face hardened for an instant.

He, who would have just accepted and ate it in the past, dares to take the fork she was holding.

The look of it made me feel uneasy.

What do we do?

What do we do?

Are you really angry?

Ahh.

Oh God.

Please say that Hyunwoo is not angry.

But, alas, God must have been too busy to answer such a thing.

Despite Veronica’s earnestness, God gave no answer, and in the end she had no choice but to do what she always did.

what she chose.

“Why are you avoiding me?”

A stone fastball full of unstoppable body.

“Damage? Me? You? Why? hahaha! That’s a very funny joke. Veronica. Did you learn the joke from the clown? hahahaha! This guy! hahahaha!”

Seeing him looking good as usual, I almost passed him.

Hyunwoo’s acting is also top-notch. That’s why you shouldn’t go over something like that.

“Then why do you refuse to feed me when I try?”

“Uh… Ah, no, just. I have hands too, so why…”

Veronica slightly lowered her head toward Hyeonu, who was speechless for a moment.

In her eyes, the water created by anxiety and its aftermath builds little by little.

“I… I found you, you… Are you angry? I feel burdened by giving you life force at will…”

“It can’t be. I’m not angry. Never. Not pressured.”

“Huh? Uh uh…”

The strong reaction surprised Veronica. But more than that, the joy fills.

I heard it before.

He said that Hyeonu was greatly helped in the underworld thanks to his life force.

How happy I was back then.

“And I told you earlier. Thanks to you, I was able to escape from the underworld more easily, and thanks to you, I was able to obtain the law of death.”

It was.

Most of the things that happened in the underworld were largely overlooked, but Hyeonu had clearly said that.

As it is a pleasant story no matter how many times I hear it, I couldn’t help but feel excited when I heard it again.

The anxious heart begins to fill with joy.

“…Then you’re avoiding me, right?”

“Truth be said…”

“So, are we going to be like before?”

“uh?”

“Can I just feed you, pet you, hold your hand?”

“No, why are you talking this way all of a sudden?”

Veronica smirked and held out the sausage.

“Oh~.”

The wise man finally opened his mouth and Veronica laughed.

But her feelings were still serious.

Possibly resurrected on the third day after death.

It may be that the wall in your heart that you tried hard to get inside has become stronger.

If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way Hyeonu would react like that.

so.

You have to approach him a little stronger.
