Chapter 112 – Academy (10)

What came out of the egg was a yellow chick. As if proving that it was a young phoenix, flames the size of candles flickered on its tail.

– Beep!

Unlike a newly hatched bird, I could see the fluffy down.

‘What is this… A chick.’

I felt a sense of disappointment.

I’ve heard that some excellent spirit creatures can even be humanized. She imagined a beautiful beauty with wings on her back.

However, Polymorph, whom he had hoped for in a chick like this, seemed to be having a hard time.

Flash

As the egg hatched, the world shook as if it were collapsing. After that, when I came to my senses, I was back at the auction house.

“Princess..?!”

I saw Helena’s escort with a shocked look on her face. I felt a sense of deja vu. It was the same expression as before being transferred to the snowy mountain.

“Ah..? What am I suddenly… Princess. Sorry.”

The escort, who was a little embarrassed, returned to expressionless again. As if nothing had happened.

When she lowered her head, the fur coat she was wearing was gone.

The surrounding scenery was also the same as before being transferred to the snowy mountain.

‘What..?’

– Beep?

Her gaze met the chick in her arms. It was not a dream or fantasy.

As if the mute button had been pressed, the silent auction hall became noisy again.

I heard people talking.

“What is the static just now..? Aren’t you a little cheap?”
“Ah..! I know this The ghost has passed.”
“What..? Don’t play around.”

The staff managing the magic circle frowned and hurriedly replaced the magic crystals.

“What! Why is my mana running out already?”

Helena narrowed her eyes and looked at her wrists. The jewel she pulled out of her bracelet was back.

I checked Michael, who was following me a few steps later.

He was picking up feathers that had fallen on the floor with a puzzled look on his face.

We stared at each other and our eyes met.

“Why is that?”
“A little while ago… No, do you remember when it snowed?”
“Who, eyes..? About half a year ago… I don’t know.”

The result of false detection is the truth. Michael didn’t seem to remember anything.

Helena looked at him and opened her mouth.

“Can I look at those feathers for a minute?”
“Yes..?! Why, why…?”
“Uh huh. Michael what are you doing Come on.”
“Ah.. Yes.. Uhhh.”

At his father’s command, Michael held out his feather with trembling hands. He turned to tears like a child deprived of candy.

Seeing this, Siu narrowed his eyes. His attitude was subtly different from that of Snow Mountain.

‘Something is strange…?’

While thinking about what bothered him, he heard Helena’s voice.

– I can’t feel anything in her feathers.
-Okay..?

When I received it, it looked like an empty shell. It didn’t seem to be able to amplify the flames, let alone space.

This is useless.

-I need to do some research. I need to find out, so I’ll give you back the feathers. Could you give it back to me?

As Helena accepted her feathers, her subtle magic wriggled. She was at a level that was hard to feel even when she was right next to her.

‘Oh..?’

For a while too. Her magical powers that seeped into her feathers disappeared without a trace. She doesn’t know what kind of magic it is, but even though she concentrated her senses, she couldn’t feel it.

Helena returned her feathers to Michael.

“Ah..! Thank you.’

Michael laughed and liked it. Helena, who was watching, whispered something to the escort behind her.

Howie, who had been nodding with a serious face, was expressionless when he heard the last instruction.

I glared at Siwoo with shocked eyes. But that’s for a while. She closed her eyes tightly and whispered softly.

“···Yes. I will make a reservation.”

Taking a deep breath, Helena spoke to Siu.

“Siwoo. You went through a lot of hardship, but for now, let’s go rest. We.”

***

This is the restaurant where Siwoo and Kang Hyeon-ah had a few meals. This time he came with Helena.

‘But. It’s delicious here.’

It seemed like a well-known restaurant.

While waiting for the food to cook, I looked at the CCTV screen that Helena’s escort had saved.

The feather in Michael’s hand shook slightly and the screen went out.

When the screen that had been flickering for a few seconds returned. The same scene as before continued.

“Um… That sounds great. It made me wonder how the hell he did it.”
“I know.”

I was curious about what the phoenix did and how, but there was nowhere to ask.

Helena handed her escort, Tasha, a yellow chick.

– Beep!

The yellow chick flapped its tiny wings. She held Tasha in her arms and gave her pitiful glances.

She might be in danger, so after a thorough examination, it was decided whether to raise her or not.

“Then… I will bring this child back after the examination.”
“Thank you Tasha. And that… Did you?”

Tasha whispered, closing her eyes tightly.

“Yes.. I did.”
“Hmmmm…! Go, thank you.”

Following Helena’s instructions, Tasha leaves, leaving the two alone.

I decided to take a break for the rest of the work on the snowy mountain. It was urgent because Helena had already ordered it.

*

Been to this restaurant several times. But as if for the first time, she asked Helena and ate her hors d’oeuvres.

Indeed, a satisfied smile hung on one side of her face.

“It’s been a… Long day.”
“That’s right. It was incredibly long. It was good, too.”

I especially liked that short hug from the back. Helena’s face turned a little red.

Smart.

“Excuse me. I will give you the next food.”

The chef carefully placed the thin fries smaller than a finger on the plate.

“This is fried sunhwari beard.”
“···Yes?”

There are so many things to eat, but I wondered why I was eating something like this, so I looked up and the cook cleared his throat.

She looked back and forth between Helena and him, she said with a bit of envy.

“Taeyanghwari’s beard is very good for the body. It is a place where Yang qi is stored until the naedan is formed. Especially… That…”

There was a subtle nuance felt in the chef’s words.

Helena, blushing slightly, interrupted the cook.

“Hmmm..! I’m done with the explanation. Siwoo. Try it. You went through a lot today. So I ordered it as a health food.”

And even the service of picking it up with chopsticks and feeding it.

“Ego..”

I could feel the chef’s eyes widening as he went out, envying me.

“Do you want to eat?”
“Um… That’s fine. It’s a bit like fried seaweed.”

Slightly salty and crunchy taste. Especially since it was good there, it felt even more delicious.

It was from then. Helena picked things up and started feeding them.

“Eat this too. It’s good for your body.”

Things that are rumored to be health food together.

“Let’s eat together, Helena. Were you having a hard time too?”
“Is that so..?”

Eyes looking up in anticipation. I put the flesh of the solar hwari-jjim. He picked up a chunk of her flesh and put it into Helena’s gaping mouth.

She smiled, shaking her body slightly.

“Ummm..! It’s delicious!”

The feeling of being relieved of fatigue accumulated in the body and mind. Besides, the taste was good.

I couldn’t tell if I was good at cooking or if the sun hwari itself was delicious. Maybe it’s both

A happy meal followed. It was a meal to relieve the fatigue of high school students.

“But where was it?”
“Ah.. That snowy mountain?”

After thinking for a while, Helena said.

“Honestly, I don’t know exactly. Perhaps the image of the phoenix and the seal are mixed.”
“It’s an image.”

If it’s an image, I’ve felt it a few times. When she took the elixir, she had pictured the raging sea in her mind.

A moment of curiosity aroused. What would have happened if she had died or been injured there.

But she didn’t have to check.

*

Towards the end of her meal, her Helena’s condition became strange. She floundered, her face slightly reddened.

“Now, wait a minute. Excuse me.”

Then she went out about a minute and she came in.

‘Hmm..?’

I could tell because I had been observing her closely since before.

Fine dust on Helena’s clothes. All of those things disappeared.

As if using clean artifacts.

‘It’s an angle.’

Right after she pretended to go to the bathroom she used the Clean Artifact.

It is clean enough that you can bite and wash it right away.

I don’t know who invented it, but it was a great artifact. It was so useful that it deserved a Nobel Prize for sex.

Helena was silent until she left the dining room.

He was fiddling with her fingers and purring her lips. She was like a child who hesitated whether she should play with fire or not.

“That… That…”

He could feel the intense conflict raging in her eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Helena closed her eyes tightly and shook her head from side to side.

“Oh, no. Siwoo. You worked hard today. Go in and go to bed early.”

The wall she felt was about to get thicker again. Yeah it was difficult

“Helena. It was hard today, but would you like to take a break?”
“Yes..?! Oh, I can’t…”

Hesitating, she took a step closer to her.

“I’m tired from going all the way to the academy, so let’s take a break here. Huh?”
“Is that so…? Eh, I just got a room… You, it’s so spacious that the two of you can rest… Huh!”

Chew.

Her first kiss with her tasted like fresh mint. This bewildered woman even gargled before she knew it.

“Ha···”

Her tongue-to-tongue mingling wet kisses made her Helena’s expression goofy.

“What number is it?”
“9, 902…”

She even made a reservation before she knew it and tried to run away.

She gently kissed her lips as she gently hugged the back of her neck. The speed at which she can dodge as much as she wants to dodge differently than before.

Chewyup chump.

She stood stiff until her sticky kiss followed.

For a while too. Helena, who was flinching, hugged him instead. As if you were going to die tomorrow.

“Ha…”

Helena, who had a hazy face, was hot and came to her senses. She lowered her head as if to hide her new blushing face.

“Ah.. This, is this..?”

She twitched her fingers, not knowing what to do.

“Let’s go.”
“Uh…”

She hugged Helena and headed for her room.

I stroked her side and up to her hips, and she flinched. It was only now that she realized what she was doing.

But it’s already too late.
