-Joseon Si-woo: Ah, Tal Joseon is coming.

-Akashiu: You are the king, you crazy.

“What is a special circle?”

“To explain that, I have to first explain the concept of a circle… “Do you know what a circle is?”

“Of course I know.”

“Explain.”

As Cheolsu nodded, Siwoo calmly explained the concept.

“An immaterial spirit organ that shapes and manipulates magical energy according to the user’s will. Isn’t it?”

“That’s right. Then what do you think the special circle is?”

“Being able to perform shaping and manipulation that a normal circle cannot do… ?”

“Yes.”

Cheolsu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Siwoo’s face.

Eyes, facial expressions, even heartbeat. There were no signs of smoke anywhere.

“Instead, you can’t use most of the magic you use with regular circles. So it’s not just that special circles are good.”

“Then… “Is the reason I can’t build circles because I have a constitution that requires me to form special circles?”

“Exactly. Likewise, ordinary people cannot build special circles.”

Although I said ‘ordinary people’, in reality, everyone is like that. To build a special circle, you must undergo a special procedure.

That’s why Siwoo is even more heterogeneous.

“Hmm… So how should we create a special circle?”

“I don’t know that far. However, from the 1st circle to the special circle, it means that you can perform specialized shaping and manipulation of ‘certain magic’ that can be used with just one special circle. From now on, I will teach you several magics every day at this time, so let’s test whether a circle specializing in those magics can be created.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“Okay, you can just go. Good luck.”

After Siwoo leaves, Cheolsu takes out the satellite phone in his arms and catches the signal.

Perhaps because they had been waiting in advance, the signal was picked up in the shortest possible time, one minute.

-So, what is it like seeing it in person?

“… I do not know. “He doesn’t look like a spy, but there are too many suspicious things about him to be a civilian.”

-If you say you don’t know, then no one in this world will know.

“You never know. “I must have fallen from another world.”

The other person laughed heartily at Cheolsu’s words.

-Is it that much?

“Sherlock Holmes said that, except for the impossible, what remains is the truth, no matter how incredible it may be… When Cheon Si-woo erases the impossible, there is nothing left. “Then isn’t the truth also impossible?”

-Huh… The director probably won’t like such a report.

“There is no possibility yet of a threat to national interests. “Wouldn’t that be enough for now?”

-Okay. That should be enough. I can finally get off work.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

-Good luck to you too.

The phone hung up, and Cheolsu looked at the other side where Siwoo had grown up.

Originally, the special circle was a technology created to use magic such as eavesdropping, soundproofing barriers, invisibility, and fingerprint forgery.

Magic of espionage, by espionage, for espionage.

Since this type of magic is quite advanced, it is common to stack it from the 3rd circle to the special circle.

However, Siwoo had a special circle starting from the 1st circle. What is thisWhat does it mean?

Cheolsu habitually tried to formulate a few hypotheses, but then let them wander in his head and closed his eyes.

Only the words ‘I may have fallen from another world’ echoed in the darkness.

“I’m going to raise a cat.”

This was the first thing Siwoo heard when he returned to class.

“Why?”

“This kid doesn’t want to go back outside.”

Elia held out the cat.

The cat, whose chest was being held in both hands, looked up at Si-woo with a pitiful expression.

As if it had been washed for some time, its pure white fur was shiny.

“Good. “I also wanted to see him longer.”

Siwoo smiled satisfied.

Everything went according to plan.

Jo Yu-jin says she will no longer have the heart to murder cats.

“What’s your name?”

“I haven’t decided on that yet. I want to give it a name that is as pretty as possible and has a good meaning…”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I made one similar to yours? “Every time I see him, he looks very similar to you.”

“Ahahahaha… “I think it looks that way because the colors are similar.”

Siwoo took the cat and gently stroked its back.

The cat tossed and turned as if uncomfortable, but did not resist Siwoo’s touch.

Siwoo combed the fur appropriately and handed it over to Elia. Elia, who received her cold hug, hugged her cat tightly and stroked her head.

Elia’s bright smile made her look happy, as if she had the whole world.

“Do you like it that much?”

“Yes! It’s my first time seeing a cat in real life… “I think I’m more interested in it because it’s a stray cat.”

Elia became slightly sullen when she said her last sentence.

“After all, these children are probably abandoned by people… Ultimately, people have to take responsibility. “Instead of the irresponsible method of just giving food, we should collect it, raise it, and protect it ourselves.”

“Is that an idea derived from the doctrine of the Church of Eden?”

“Uh? How did you know? By any chance, Siwoo is also a believer in Eden… ?”

Siwoo shook her head in response to Elia’s cautious question.

The expectant gray eyes lowered. A look of regret was evident.

Elia continued her words, feeling slightly downcast.

“Our denomination follows love as the highest virtue. So there is a doctrine that fits these cases.”

“But shouldn’t the person who abandoned the cat be responsible for that?”

Elia nodded her head in response to Siwoo’s general question.

“That’s right. That’s best. But you can’t leave lives suffering just because you’re responsible, right? It will be difficult to find who abandoned the cat, and even if you do, it is unlikely that the person who abandoned the cat once will love the cat again… So I will give this child some love. “She does everything, even what her original owner couldn’t do for her.”

Elia’s benevolent smile as she said that was so saintly.

Siwoo could no longer speak.

Since then, time at the academy has passed quickly.

First day. Elia picked up her large box from somewhere and placed it in her own dorm room. This was possible because she had a lot of free space because she didn’t have a roommate.

The cat seemed to really like the box.

Second day. Elia brought a bunch of her boxes and organized them with her little hands.I carefully cut and pasted them to create a small cat tower.

Elia was very proud. She was so happy that she clapped her hands and took pictures to show off to her friends.

However, the cat did not even pay attention to the cat tower. All I could do was curl up in the box and scratch my body helplessly.

Elia was slightly embarrassed.

Third day. Elia ambitiously prepared Chuur.

As soon as Elia took it out, the cat’s eyes changed.

Elia carefully placed Chur on the top of the cat tower. The cat moved nimbly and caught Churu.

Elia smiled happily.

The fourth day has passed. The fifth day has passed. Even the sixth day has passed.

Elia took care of the cat with utmost care. When Jo Yu-jin saw this, she was happy on one hand and worried on the other. Despite Seo-yeon and Cheol-su’s teachings, Si-woo has not yet been able to create a circle.

A week like that.

The day when the cat runs away has arrived.

Bar bar bar bar bar bar bar good mo-

Tuk.

-6:30 am

“I feel like I’m going crazy…”

Siwoo got up and looked at his house.

Siwoo’s house was a space that made you realize that no matter how familiar the world was, it was definitely a different world.

The only traces of human life were their own, and when you enter the house at night, the darkness that falls inside the house makes it a scary space for no reason. A space in the house where you cannot hear sounds that are not yours, and where there are no traces that are not yours.

Siwoo’s house was dominated by loneliness.

And in places where there is no one to communicate with, people naturally become less talkative.

Therefore, Siwoo’s morning was the same length of silence.

Shootaaa-

Siwoo didn’t open his mouth until he mechanically ate his cereal, brushed his teeth, and washed his face.

The emotions of all strangers in the world weighed on Siwoo.

Empty, unfamiliar, lonely, and lonely feelings. Thoughts that will eat away at your heart if you leave them alone.

At one time, he had a hard time being buried in these thoughts.

But now Siwoo has found a way.

──────────────

-London Siwoo: Crackling, crackling, exciting song~

-Lucky Siu: What do you mean?

-London City: You want to ‘take’ Tulu and ‘get out’ of Britain?

-Lucky Siwoo: Why are you angry;;

-Fishing Village Siu: It’s bittersweetㅠㅠ Isn’t such a bad word a bit sweet? Because it doesn’t look like it’s there? I hope not!

-London City: Why did that guy from Innsmouth talk so sh*t from earlier?

– War Siwoo: Wow, now there’s even a guy who criticizes himself.

-Fishing Village Siu: What about something that doesn’t seem to be there? What is really missing? Wouldn’t it be different?

──────────────

“Puhup.”

As soon as I opened the chat, Siwoo’s expressionless face came to life.

Chats always took effect immediately. When you listen to stories from other worlds, the weight of reality becomes infinitely lighter.

Siwoo expressed his resignation with a lighter heart.

──────────────

-Akashiu: So do you have the ability to de-Britain?

-London City: Actually, I have no money…

-Hypnosis Siwoo: Her Majesty’s hypnosis assistant ㄱ?

-London Siwoo: Get out of here, you deceiver.

──────────────

Siwoo giggled and left the house.

The road to the bus stop was the same as usual. The only difference is that the spring cold has become more severe and it is particularly cold.

Siwoo rubbed her cold ears with his fingers and urged her on her way. Since today is the day when the incident occurred, I had a lot of thoughts. From minor worries that are not worth worrying about in advance, to stories that will take place far in the future. Siwoo was immersed in countless thoughts.

There was a voice that penetrated those thoughts.

“Siwoo~”

Siwoo was startled and looked directly in front of him to see Seoyeon smiling broadly and waving her arms at the bus stop. A gesture so lively that even the fatigue of the viewer flies away. Si-woo also had a smile on his face.

Si-woo waved his hand happily and sat down next to Seo-yeon.

“You were lucky enough to start school on time today?”

Seo-yeon was slightly taken aback by Si-woo’s words, which he said without much thought, but then smiled brightly.

Is it because of my mood? She sounded like her voice was shaking slightly.

“Huh. That’s right. “I think I’m lucky.”

Then Seoyeon naturally placed her hand on Siwoo’s chest.

Slow fingers passing over her entire chest.

Seoyeon tried to hide her shaking hands.

“Your magic power has increased a lot today too? “At this rate, I will make the second circle in just a few more weeks.”

“Well, I was pretty lucky.”

Since the last glow-in-the-dark candle, four more hidden pieces had been taken, and Siwoo’s magical power was now close to 40.

It’s hard to believe that this was achieved in just two weeks.

However…

“But it’s of no use since no circles are created…”

“No no! This time it will be made for real!”

As if Seo-yeon was trying to give her hope, she gave her a forced consolation.

But Seo-yeon also looked like she didn’t believe what she said. It was such a vague and groundless consolation that Siwoo also had a distraught expression on his face.

Seo-yeon tried to add something of her own that could give her strength, but eventually she gave up on her clumsy consolation.

“Are you okay. “Even if you can’t use magic, I’ll help you make a living somehow.”

“How?

“Yeah… Something like finding a job that doesn’t require the use of magic…”

Of course, the job Seo-yeon was talking about meant being a full-time housewife – that is, becoming her husband – but Si-woo, who didn’t know that, was grateful that she was trying to comfort her in any way, so he just laughed it off.

Then a bus to the academy arrived.

Seo-yeon and Si-woo talked throughout the bus ride. We asked and answered questions using Seo-yeon’s single-volume notebook, which we had already mastered, and talked about meaningless personal details.

When I arrived at the classroom like that.

Siwoo saw the cat’s eyes glow blue for an instant.

Siwoo looked at his watch.

7:20 am.

10 minutes later, the cat runs away.
