Next day.

Rey put the finely ground Lafuma into a teacup and stirred it with the boiled water.

The water mixed with Lafuma begins to take on a fresh green color.

Rey, seeing the faint swarm of light coming out of the water, put her mouth on the teacup.

A bitter sweet taste spread across his tongue.

It didn’t taste to my liking, but Rey swallowed it without complaining.

‘I hope it works well…’

First, I tried to eat what Seria gave me, and if I thought it was effective, I was thinking of pecking the Count and stocking up on it.

“therefore…”

Ray raised his head to face Jimmy and Matthew.

“Did anything go wrong?”

Still, seeing the two of them after a few months, I felt very welcome on their faces.

Jimmy grunted and opened his mouth first.

“You don’t know how many times Karen has been looking for you? The other kids didn’t even talk, so it wasn’t a riot.”

Jimmy talked about how confused the children were during Ray’s absence for a long time.

Matthew, who was listening, added:

“I don’t know if they’re newcomers, but most of the kids you have now have your hands on you. To them, you’re not much different from your parents. If you’re going to be responsible, stay with them until their hair is a little thicker.”

“I know.”

Ray nodded.

Thanks to the increasing support for the nursery school day by day, the nursery school was able to run without Rei now.

In the early days of the orphanage, Ray had to take care of everything from one to ten.

For children who entered orphanages back then, Rei was the nursery school, and the nursery school was Ray.

Rei recalled the past and drank the remaining water from the teacup.

Jimmy asked what he was curious about as Ray put down the teacup.

“But you said you were attacked on the road today? Did you meet any bandits?”

“haha…”

After a moment of contemplation, Rey outlined what had happened in the canyon.

Hearing the whole story, Jimmy closed his eyes tightly.

“How come you don’t stop accidents wherever you go?”

“Because I’m not very lucky.”

‘Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been dragged into another world instead of my friend.’

Seeing Ray smiling as if it was insignificant, Jimmy made a tired face.

“But you were spending time alone against the Royal Guard?”

“I didn’t run out of time, I killed it.”

“…?”

Jimmy and Matthew blink stupidly.

Ray immediately started spinning the circle.

There were so many secrets that Jimmy and Matthew shared.

Even if I came here to hide things like circles, there was no benefit at all.

‘It would be better to make it clearer.’

What kind of existence is the child in front of you?

Tweak!

Mana fluctuates

Beyond the teacup, the table began to freeze and move out.

Jimmy and Matthew opened their mouths when they saw the castle that quickly spread all the way to the wall.

Ray added an explanation with a natural face.

“There have been some achievements. As I followed in Harsia’s footsteps, I knew how to handle the space sword.”

Matthew wiped his face in a cold sweat.

“Ray, just in case…”

“I know what you mean. It’s not an achievement to show off unless you’re being chased by the Empire. But you need to know. What value is the child you invested in?”

In a word, since I am so good, it meant that we should do well in the future.

Jimmy coughed in vain and touched the ice sheet on the table.

“Are you going to stay here, in the Countess of Phillips from now on?”

“I just told you. Of course it should. Until the kids are a little older.”

Countess of Phillips.

It’s definitely small water.

However, all preparations were in place to develop talent.

The Count was sympathetic to the orphanage, well-supported, and had an advanced power to teach children.

When the children become adults, they should experience the big water, but not yet.

‘If I teach closely for one or two years… I think I’ll be able to guess the combination soon.’

Gacha. advancement. growth.

Then again.

‘I think it would be okay if we had a composition around Luna and Yohana…?’

It was a deck.

*

A smile never left Karen’s face throughout the day.

Rey returned to the nursery school and received a beautiful necklace from Rey as a gift.

With each step, the chain of the necklace wobbles and tickles the skin.

Each time, all kinds of delusions bloomed in Karen’s head, and then repeated.

Although I don’t know that Rei didn’t present the necklace as a gift for love.

Still, it was difficult to shake off even the ‘hopeful expectation’.

Of course, Karen tried to be self-respecting.

Among the children at the nursery, Karen was the one who received the ornament.

It was easy to get a ballmen sound.

Moreover, Yohana was properly swayed by this incident.

Karen never showed her necklace outside and covered it with clothes.

Suppressing the desire to show off a pretty necklace and making such a decision was proof that Karen had matured mentally.

Johana has not spoken since yesterday.

I still ate and slept with Karen, but there was no conversation.

Karen wanted to relieve Yohana’s feelings, but honestly, she had no idea what to say in the current situation.

It was dinner time again.

Karen sat down with Yohana and put the bread in her mouth in a cold atmosphere.

As the arm moved, the shoulder muscles moved as well, pushing the necklace to the side.

Karen’s face loosened like a fool at the stimulation of the necklace felt on her skin and then hardened again.

Johanna was so annoyed with each and every one of them, but couldn’t find a way to release her anger, she chewed hard on the spoon.

Then Ray appeared in the restaurant.

Quang!

As soon as she saw Ray, Yohana smashed the table and left the dining room with a cheer.

Rei looked at the back of Johana as she moved away and made a sound of pain.

I was quite confused as to how to appease him.

Even if I bought an accessory similar to Karen and gave it as a gift, it would only provoke anger, and it was not a good method in terms of education.

‘Let’s see for a moment…’

What Yohana usually does was cute, but it was the most difficult to deal with.

Ray reflected on his belatedly that he should have been more careful as he was a consistent tic-tick.

“Ugh, Luna.”

Rei approached Luna, who was sitting at the same table with Johanna.

“Can I have some time after dinner?”

“…I’m fine now.”

Luna, who originally ate less, seemed to fill her stomach to some extent.

Rey led Luna without hesitation.

“Let’s go. A new teacher has arrived to teach you.”

*

Lopilen, who was waiting at the beginning of the Signi Mountains, tensed her body.

From beyond, Rey was approaching with Luna and Alesia.

Having cleared her neck in advance, Lophilen waved her hand lightly toward Luna.

“Hello? Are you dinareu-san…”

Rey immediately covered Lophilen’s mouth and twisted her neck halfway.

Rey, who dragged Lopilen into the forest in that state, released Lopilen when she was far enough away from Luna and whispered softly.

“What were you trying to say…?!”

“Yes Yes?”

Lopilen grumbled in embarrassment.

“Isn’t that kid’s name ‘dinareu san rejeondeurigoa’?”

In rare cases, local prepositions such as pawn, orb, or ab are inserted between names.

Likewise, although rare, middle names were sometimes used.

Therefore, Lopilen knew that the name of the child that Rey was going to introduce was ‘dinareu san rejeondeurigoa’.

Even Lopilen, who was a wizard, could not have imagined that Rey would call Luna that way, meaning ‘a legendary class orphan collected in Dinar’.

Ray made a sick sound.

“His name is Luna. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I see. So what does dinareu san rejeondeurigoa mean…”

“Forget that.”

As Rey forced her to blink her eyes, she had no choice but to nod her head.

Rey and Lopilen returned to their seats.

Luna was looking at Rey with eyes that were strangely out of focus.

While Rey was coughing for nothing, Lophilen lightly grabbed Luna’s hand.

“Hello, Luna? My name is Lopilen. I came to the Countess of Phillips after being asked to teach your magic from Rey. Please take good care of me.”

A warm smile crept onto Lopilen’s lips.

Luna thought for a moment, then nodded her head.

“…I beg you.”

After saying goodbye, Rey pointed to an empty space in the forest.

“Luna, I’ll show you some magic, Lopilen.”

“Can I show you… Can I?”

It was Luna, who had already been severely burned by showing off magic, that is, circles.

Luna’s mistake forced Rey to fight with serious injuries.

Rey playfully ruffled Luna’s hair with worried eyes.

“Don’t worry. This person can be trusted.”

Among the wizards Rey knew, Lopilen was the most reliable wizard.

Luna nodded and held out her hand toward the clearing in the forest.

Rey whispered to Lopilen.

“Prepare to put out the fire.”

“Yes.”

In fact, Lopilen was still confused.

Was the child Luna really gifted with the talent of an archmage, or was it Rey’s fuss?

Rei, that is, Harcia, was not a person who learned and used magic in earnest.

As Lophilen thought, there was a good chance that Harsia misjudged Luna’s magical talent.

‘Well, you can see.’

The surrounding mana fluctuates.

Luna’s circle appeared.

appeared, revealed.

It means that the circle that is supposed to revolve around the heart in the body is caught in the eyes of others.

For a moment, Lorphyllen gasped for breath.

‘…?’

what? What am I watching now?

That gigantic circular band is now a circle?

“Unbelievable…”

Tsu!

A light flashed once in a huge circle.

Immediately after, the vacant lot in the forest exploded with flames in an instant.

Kwaang!!

“…”

Lopilen was speechless for a moment.

The magic that Luna just performed was ‘ignition’ if I had to define it.

That simple magic resonated with the huge circle, and it produced that kind of power.

“I beheaded myself because David was going to take the child’s heart out.”

Lopilen’s eyes returned to Rey.

“Locust also coveted that child, so he mutilated his body to death.”

Rey asked Lopilen.

“What are you going to do?”

Lopilen was about to kneel, conscious of the gaze around her, and answered while standing.

“I am… a lust for knowledge, not power.”

What does it mean to Lopilen by pulling out a heart and processing it into an artifact to increase circles and mana?

“Trust me.”

“Try to believe it.”

Ray nodded.

The binge drinking subsides and the warm air heats the forest.

Lopilen put out the fire with magic.

Luna looked at Lophilen’s magic with interest.

Lopilen glanced at Rey’s eyes and held out her hand to Luna.

“For now… To become my disciple, you have to sign a contract. Are you okay?”

Luna confirmed that Rey was watching silently, and then nodded her head slightly.

“…yes I’m okay.”

“Follow my guidance.”

Lopilen signed a contract with Luna.

Rey used her powers to make sure that the contract engraving did not contain any impure content.

Fortunately, Lopilen did not play in vain with Rey in front of her.

Lopilen, who had successfully engraved the contract, asked awkwardly for a moment.

“Now you and I have become a priesthood. Please take care of me.”

“…Yes, please.”

“Ummm… Shall we go back and start the first lesson right away?”

“Previously.”

Ray intervened.

“Luna, let’s make a contract with the spirit too.”

There were too many people in the world who coveted Luna’s talent.

Even Lopilen couldn’t predict how long she would be quietly bowing her head.

“Luna, you need an ally of your own, who will protect you, who will dedicate yourself to you.”

Ray looked at Luna with rare sad eyes.

Alesia, who had heard the story in advance, materialized Fenrir and Phoenix.

“Fenrir! Phoenix! Can you bring a friend?”

[…]

[…]

Fenrir and Phoenix, who were usually good listeners, flirted with Alessia’s request.

Confused, Alessia muttered to Rey.

“Rei… my spirits don’t seem to be reluctant to summon friends.”

Rei pulled out her sword with a bitter expression.

“Child, wash up.”

A sword gushes out from the sword.

“Would you like to taste the space sword?”

f*cking human bastard.

Fenrir and Phoenix cursed their eyes and hid themselves .
