chapter 17
17 – full moon (1)
July 13, 2028.
– Wow!!
-Hey!! You decided not to use the ability!!
-Ebebe~ You know how to twist it, right?
Baek Ha-na, who celebrated her 6th birthday, safely turned 18 years old.
I didn’t go through puberty, which others say comes once in a while, and I grew up well.
If there’s one thing that bothers me a little, it’s that I live with too much chocolate in my mouth, but since I brush my teeth properly and don’t skip meals, I thought it would be okay, so I left it alone.
Above all, Baekhana was not the small child she used to be.
Tok. Tok. Tok.
I turned my chair at the sound of knocking on the window.
There, Baek Ha-na, wearing a black bikini under a wet T-shirt, was smiling at me.
That meager child has now grown up enough to receive envious glances from others.
I didn’t want to open it, but if I didn’t, it was obvious that it would stay like that forever, so I opened the window with magic power.
“Woojin~ Let’s play together. yes?”
“… … Even the professors play together.”
“right. That way, the bailiff will also argue with you.”
Even one hundred and one people were troublesome, but beige and pink hair climbed like moles from under the window sill and helped one hundred.
I passed the three girls who were looking this way with longing eyes and looked behind them.
Claire is sitting in a beach chair under a large parasol.
As a place is a place, she was taking a break wearing a swimsuit with a slightly unique design and a thin T-shirt like girls hanging in front of a window, not the priestly uniform or suit she always wore.
‘… … Tsk.’
You may have already recorded it in the past, but as Hana Baek grew up, Claire. She has changed quite a bit too.
First of all, it didn’t bother me anymore.
You can tell just by looking at the way he is resting peacefully on a chair right now.
There are a few others, but I won’t mention them separately because they are positive changes in their own way. It would be unnecessary in the current situation.
“yes? Woojin~ Let’s play together~”
“… … Sigh.”
hot summer.
The academy is in full swing with the summer festival right now.
It’s not the first time, and it’s already happened several times, so Baek Ha-na, who thought she would go around the academy with her friends normally this year, installed a small pool she didn’t know where she got from in the yard next to the study.
And as you can see now, the two kids hanging out all the time. After inviting Maria and Idney to lunch, he had been playing in the water.
Seeing the earnest gazes of the three, I answered while correcting my slipped glasses.
“I don’t have a swimsuit.”
At that time, Claire, who was resting on the chair, raised her upper body slightly and looked this way.
“When I went to the department store with my children, I bought the professor’s too.”
“… … .”
“By the way, it’s a free size, so you don’t have to worry. It is a product that adapts itself to the wearer’s body.”
After finishing her words, the cool-looking beauty closed her eyes again and leaned back in her chair.
“Woojin’s swimsuit is in my room~”
“… … one hundred.”
“Ah~ quickly!! let’s play together!!”
“… … .”
He’s such a calm guy when it’s just the two of us.
I didn’t have anything to deal with right away, so I had no choice but to get up without any excuses.
“Only this time.”
“Yes. come fast!!”
As I left the study behind the children, I heard three voices unnecessarily bright.
-Is it true that Professor’s body is better than that of apprentice paladins?
– Because it is. Woojin has a great body.
– Write… … .
Apparently Baek Hana said something strange to the two girls.
I guess I’ll have to pay close attention to this later.
**
Grass soaked in the scorching heat of the sun.
A huge pool spread over it.
In fact, it was so huge that it was a bit embarrassing to call it a pool.
The water level reached below the girls’ breasts, and the width was 20m each.
It was because it was a special product that Claire had commissioned to produce.
She gazed at the white white one among the girls who were having fun with each other in the pool, enjoying the moderate heat rising from below.
6 years.
The time I met a man named Baek Woo-jin and watched the growth of a child named Baek Ha-na had already accumulated so much.
Most of it was to look after Baek Ha-na, but sometimes.
Very occasionally, Baek Woo-jin and I went out alone.
To visit an auction house somewhere to buy something, or to enter a yet undiscovered rift to retrieve a special item.
As that builds up little by little and the contact with Baek Woo-jin increases, Claire realizes one thing.
A man named Baek Woo-jin is too indifferent to others.
He only cares about one girl.
I thought so.
[What are you doing these days?]
[You’ll need some time for yourself too, sorry for calling you often.]
[Tell me if you need help later. I will help you once.]
A few words spoken carelessly.
However, Claire knew because he had been around with Baek Woo-jin.
The fact that a man named Baek Woo-jin is thinking of her much more than she thought.
It must have been from the moment I realized that.
The fact that the man who always approached me with difficulty began to feel comfortable little by little.
And beyond just watching, I came to have the thought of wanting to get a little closer… … .
clap-
Claire, who was lost in thought for a moment, quickly returned to reality at the sound of the doorknob turning.
Baek Woo-jin doesn’t feel any presence.
To find him, you had to look with your eyes or focus on the sounds he made.
And the sound I just heard was Baek Woo-jin opening the front door and coming out.
jerk- jerk-
The sound of stepping on the grass is heard at regular intervals.
The sound grew closer and closer until finally the man everyone had been waiting for appeared from a corner far away.
Black hair, untidy as usual.
The big glasses that I’m completely used to now.
A sharp nose and eye-catching lips.
I’ve been seeing it for 6 years and it hasn’t changed once.
It was Baek Woo-jin’s face that he had always seen.
But down there it was different.
Baek Woo-jin always insisted on wearing the same outfit regardless of the season.
Baek Woo-jin, who did that… … .
“Oh God… … .”
“Idni. You kofina.”
“Uh, uh uh.”
The beige girl dared to seek God, and the pink haired girl threw her head back, clutching her nose.
If it was the usual Claire, he would have yelled at the two right away, but fortunately, now Claire’s field of vision was only filled with Baek Woo-jin.
thick line.
broad shoulders.
Deep clavicle.
Prominent curves leading below it.
Baek Woo-jin’s body was as beautiful as if it had been carved with great care by a craftsman of the century. And it was very attractive. It’s good enough that I want to press that solid looking chest.
When everyone was preoccupied with Baek Woo-jin’s body, Baek Ha-na, the only one who had resistance to his body, pouted her lips and grumbled at him.
“Do you want to play wearing glasses?”
“No big deal.”
“Would that be inconvenient?”
“It’s a problem I can handle, so don’t mind—”
“Eight!!”
Baek Ha-na sprayed water at Baek Woo-jin, and Baek Woo-jin was beaten intact.
“… … under.”
A short sigh escaped Baek Woo-jin’s mouth.
He brushed his wet hair up.
Her hair, which had always been messy, was tidied up for the first time.
“Hey… … Marian… You are also kopinandaang… .”
“… … .”
Idni, who was holding onto her nose, opens her mouth like an idiot and stabs Maria in the side, who is drinking the blood flowing from her nose.
While the two girls were blocking their nosebleeds, Baek Woo-jin, who swept his hair up, grabbed the wall of the pool without any preparation and came inside.
At Baek Woo-jin, Baek Ha-na smiled and continued to spray water.
Baek Woo-jin silently walked towards her, being hit by the water that Baek Hana sprayed. And.
“Kyaaak~!!”
“I must have said time and time again that choices come with costs.”
Baek Ha-na, who was caught and lifted up by Baek Woo-jin, struggled with exaggerated screams.
If others had seen it, they would have looked at it with jealousy and envy, saying that affectionate lovers were playing a prank, but unlike Baek Ha-na, who was laughing, Baek Woo-jin was quite sincere.
And as if to prove it.
“Wow?!”
Hundred’s body flew through the air.
with a splash-!!
It created a huge column of water and plunged headfirst into the pool.
“Well… … .”
A high column of water splashed some on her face, and only then did Claire come to her senses.
When she came to her senses, she said, ‘Puha~!! Mr. Lee… !! Did you really throw it?!’ While watching Baek Ha-na run at Baek Woo-jin again, he got up from his chair and slowly entered the pool.
with a plop-!!
At the same time, Hana Baek flew through the air once more and landed under the pool.
Baek Woo-jin was soaked wet by Baek Ha-na’s rampage.
He was brushing back his flowing bangs.
Claire watched it for a moment.
snap-
“… … .”
“… … .”
Water was sprayed at Baek Woo-jin, and Baek Woo-jin, who was hit by an unexpected spray, looked back at Claire.
“Puha~!! sister!! Sprinkle more!!”
“… … Mmm.”
Around the awkward silence, the resurrected Baek Hana rushed toward Baek Woo-jin, and Claire naturally intervened and approached Baek Woo-jin slowly, spraying water. And.
“Kyaaa~!!”
Baekhana flew through the air once more.
Kwak-
Claire, whose arm was held in Baek Woo-jin’s large hand, entered as if he were being held in his arms.
In an instant, Baek Woo-jin’s hand came under her thigh and lifted her up.
‘ah… … .’
Skin that touches each other.
A warm feeling.
Whoo-!!
Claire’s body flew through the air.
She could not overcome the force of gravity and gradually descended.
with a plop-!!
One hundred and one fell near where they fell.
The skin that felt the warm body temperature was diluted in an instant with the cold water.
Claire slowly sinks under the water.
She thought as she watched the rays of the sun pouring down on the rippling water.
‘Summer… … Not bad.’
**
shudder-
Grass bugs, which are quiet during the day, settle on the bushes and cry with their own voices.
“Woojin~ When does it start?”
“It will start soon.”
Hana Baek hums a humming song with her arms hanging over the window sill of the study.
After tidying up the swimming pool, Claire returned to the temple with the other two children.
Since the shrine is also busy during festivals, the fact that the two of them were able to play during the day was possible thanks to the breath of one hundred and one.
“Take it.”
“yes~”
When I handed over coffee with melted chocolate, Hana Baek smiled and leaned on me.
Hee- Hee hee~
Perhaps the rebellious and playful appearance she showed at the pool was all acting, but even though Baek Ha-na will soon become an adult, she clings to my arms and frolics and enjoys herself.
I gently stroked his hair and looked up at the night sky.
A beautiful night sky that can never be seen in modern times.
Stars twinkling over the veil of darkness.
In addition, Manwol, who is the main character of the day.
It is also the day when the white moon rises, which is said to come only once every 20 years.
As rifts form and gods appear, phenomena that cannot be scientifically explained often occur here.
This white moon was one of them.
As the moon rises and reaches its apex, the bright yellow moon turns white. It is said that when the moon that started to be colored like that reaches the top of the night sky, it becomes a perfect white jade and emits intense light.
Hana Baek stays awake and stays by her side to watch the fireworks start in time.
“It is as white as my hair. Is not it?”
“… … Right.”
Hana Baek looked up at the moon, which had almost reached its peak, and blinked.
Then, sipping coffee, he quietly moved to the seat next to me.
“I like this too.”
“… … .”
That little guy is now grown enough to lean on my chest.
“Oh, I guess it’s starting.”
After staring at the top of his head for a moment, I raised my head and looked up at the sky.
A pure white jade hanging from the top.
The full moon, which was all white, gradually began to shine brightly.
The pure white full moon in the night sky began to emit intense light like the sun within seconds.
Dalgrak-
With the sound of a glass falling to the floor, the body of Baek Ha-na, who had been leaning against me, collapsed.
