“ah.”
“Yes, this is the prosthetic leg I mentioned last time.”
Without further ado, Sehyeon took out the completed prosthetic leg from the inventory and presented it to Huey. It was a crude prosthetic leg that looked like nothing more than a blunt piece of wood. Still, Huey was very happy.
“Thank you, Sehyeon.”
“Once you put it on and drop a drop of blood, you will be able to use it right away. Jaewoo Gong, can you help me?”
“yes… .”
Gong Jae-woo stood up, wiping the sweat dripping down his chin. The prosthetic leg given to Huey was not just a simple prosthetic leg. It was a special prosthetic leg filled with magical power that connected all nerves the moment it was worn and became like my own body.
Gong Jae-woo whined and put the prosthetic leg on Huey’s leg. As I put them on each leg, the legs slowly began to take shape. Huey bit his hand over it, letting out a drop of his blood.
The prosthetic leg, which was taking shape, began to harden, emitting a faint light. The prosthetic leg, which turned red as if heated in a fire and then became hard like earthenware, was previously discolored and hardened to Huey’s skin color.
Since I commissioned the best one, its hardness is probably at the level of adamantium.
“Would you like to wake up?”
Hearing Sehyeon’s words, Huey swallowed his saliva and slowly got up from the wheelchair. As my toes touched the ground, muscles formed in my strong legs. And when both balanced feet completely touched the ground, Huey was looking down at Gong Jae-woo from the height he had longed for.
The corner of Huey’s dazed eyes twisted, and an indescribable emotion appeared on his face. It looked like it was smiling or like it was crying.
“The tip of my toes… “It tickles.”
It was my first impression. He expressed the feeling of grass tickling his toes in a no-nonsense way. It was Gong Jae-woo who burst into tears at those words. What was so sad? Gong Jae-woo sobbed, standing with his back to everyone.
“Jae, is it Jaewoo? why… why are you crying… .”
Gong Jae-woo’s skinny shoulders continued to shake. I tried to comfort Huey as he looked embarrassed, but it was no use. Sehyeon turned around while looking at Huey’s face. This is it for today.
Kyle reached out again and held Sehyun’s hand. He squeezed it, placed it in his hand, and stroked it gently. It felt harsh, but Sehyun accepted it with a smile.
Of course, Kim Gap-jun was a bit different.
“Anyway, it’s okay, tsk. “If you’re going to go, get the hell out of here.”
“Gong Jae-woo, I will ask you something like today. “After listening to Gapjun Kim, it seems like you need physical strength.”
“Hey, me! “He was so damned that I was harassing him.”
“Oh, yes. Please eat in moderation. “Still, you’re a little more hungry than last time, right?”
“What?! No, why is this son of a bitch so interested in other people’s boats? Hey, you two bastards, you’re screwed! “Aren’t you spreading the rumor here because you don’t eat?”
“I don’t know.”
“Ah, why don’t you know that!”
“How do I know that? Everyone is quiet in front of me. And I’m eating well these days. Ah, Gapjun Kim. Would you like to eat this?”
Sehyun grabbed a handful of the dessert she brought from the banquet and suddenly held it out to Kim Gapjun. Kim Gap-jun, who was preparing the dessert, took a bite and thought it was quite delicious, so he cleared his throat and took the snack from Se-hyeon’s hand.
“I’ll just go now. “Don’t eat it all by yourself.”
“Okay, f*ck off.”
Sehyun turned her back on Kim Gap-jun, who looked excited as he walked towards Gong Jae-woo and Huey carrying snacks. Judging by Kim Gap-jun’s polite and caring attitude, he seemed to have nothing to worry about.
Should I go to Kwak Jeong-han?
Kwak Jeong-han, who was assigned to the attack team, was almost living in the fortress training center. The person in charge of Kwak Jeong-han was Wools, who was in charge of the instructor at the training center. Sehyun turned toward the training center, thinking about going to see them both.
However, the moment I turned around, I had to unintentionally stop walking.
Where Se-hyeon turned, there was Yoo Si-woon, who couldn’t take his eyes off Gong Jae-woo and Huey. She seemed somehow lost in thought.
When Yu Si-un’s black eyes blinked slowly, a desire lingered within them. However, Sehyun did not know what that desire was for.
Sehyun had no choice but to wait quietly until Yoo Si-woon came out of his thoughts. It was a while later that Yoo Si-woon took his gaze off.
It felt like I saw a glimpse of longing through the languid sunlight shining down.
***
Yu Si-un left, as he said, two days later. During that period, Se-hyeon prepared various necessary items for Yoo Si-un, such as potions, food, and artifacts that could be used for self-defense, in case something unexpected happened.
Yoo Si-woon, who initially refused, looking like he was about to cry, eventually nodded and accepted after Se-hyeon suggested it a few more times.
And today was the day Yu Si-woon said goodbye to everyone. Sehyun headed to the portal beyond the gatehouse with Yoo Si-woon for a final farewell. The heroes and Kwak Jeong-han followed behind Se-hyeon.
“I really… Thank you, Sehyeon.”
“I think you can stop talking.”
“… sorry. still… thank you.”
Even though he was trembling with fear to the point where he hunched his shoulders, Yu Si-woon did not stop his steps.
“Very later…” If I can really repay it later… . At that time, I was Sehyeon… “I’ll come see you.”
“I hope that day comes quickly.”
Will that day ever come? Sehyun lowered her gaze and answered hopefully. Suddenly, a huge portal appeared in front of everyone. Sehyun thought for a moment and then looked back at the heroes.
“I’ll come in for a moment.”
“road.”
“I’ll go with Jeonghan. don’t worry.”
To Euncheong, who called me in a stern manner, Sehyeon smiled, showing that it was okay. It was also indirectly mentioned that the place where Bill Will is is not a dangerous place. Yes, maybe that place is safer than here.
Se-hyeon reached out to Kwak Jeong-han, who was coming out among the heroes, and turned to the portal with Yoo Si-woon.
“I’ll be right back.”
Euncheong’s particularly worried gaze conveyed a different feeling than usual. I wasn’t sure why I was so worried, but my feet couldn’t fall off. With Eun-cheong’s tightly closed eyes, everyone entered a calm world for the last time.
Pure white space. A place as big as the tension on Yu Si-woon’s face.
“Shall we go?”
The reason Se-hyeon followed Yu Si-un here was to find out the location of his imperial portal for future purposes. Unfortunately, there were not only good intentions. Sehyun also had a time when she was a snob.
And now was that time.
Someday, if he showed the will to escape, or if he struggled to escape, Sehyeon was willing to help and save him. And he planned to collude with him to bring about the effectiveness of the potion and the capabilities of the homegrown empire.
The Celestial Race that everyone sees and the Celestial Race that Sehyun thinks of are different. The first thing I needed to prove that was Yu Si-un.
However, that is not the case now. The timing wasn’t right either. It was not a good idea to make a hasty move now that we did not know which empire Yu Si-un was involved with.
“Woah, this is my empire.”
The place where Yu Si-un stopped was not far from Se-hyeon’s imperial portal. A distance of about fifty steps at most. It was an easy place to recognize because there were cold, dead portals on either side of Yu Si-un. Moreover, it is a world full of green vegetation. It was a beautiful place.
“Yoo Si-un.”
“yes.”

“If you change your mind, you can come back. For now, I just wish the Jaseng Empire good luck.”
Yoo Si-woon’s pitch-black eyes stared at Se-hyeon. The eyes were like a black night sky filled with stars. Only when tears formed inside, did Yu Si-un nod her head and bow down.
“thank you… Thank you, Sehyeon.”
“Yes, see you next time.”
Sehyeon said her final words to him with a smile. Yu Si-un also wiped away her tears and revealed her smile. That’s enough. For now, it was better to just break up like this without saying anything.
Their gazes towards each other were cut off as soon as Sehyun closed his eyes. Yu Si-un endured everything and turned around. The small lantern moving slowly towards the portal soon disappeared as if evaporated by the light of the portal.
At first glance, I thought I saw his small wings. Only Sehyun and Kwak Jeonghan were left in the empty space. Only when the back of Yu Si-woon swaying in the portal became blurred did Se-hyeon turn his back.
“Shall we go, Jeonghan?”
“You look lonely, Sehyeon.”
“What can I say… “I feel like I’m seeing my old self.”
“… okay.”
Kwak Jeong-han looked at Se-hyeon’s wings and nodded as if he understood. He seemed to have fleetingly remembered an anecdote from the past that Sehyeon had told him.
Sehyeon slowly walked away from where he was standing. As Kwak Jeong-han said, I felt a little lonely. Maybe it was because we had been together for a long time or because we had a lot of empathy, but I didn’t think that would happen, but I felt an empty space.
“Someone is coming.”
Se-hyeon, who was pouring out her thoughts as if sighing, narrowed her gaze at Kwak Jeong-han’s wary words and looked into the distance. In my blurred vision, I saw a person walking in the distance.
