Velvet returned to the clubroom after crossing the portal and was silent for a while. It had only been a few days since she left the club room, but she felt welcomed by Velvet, as if she hadn’t been back in a very long time.
The living room where I was lying on the soft sofa and flapping my feet. A children’s book that you threw away while reading. Sumire’s delicious dishes piled up in the refrigerator.
Rattling. Rattling.
While everyone was watching, Velvet enjoyed the meal prepared by Sumire in silence. Unlike the food at the lab that didn’t suit her taste, the food Sumire prepared was really delicious.
Rattling. Rattling… … .
The sound of Velvet’s spoon stopped as she enjoyed eating all the dishes. Kim Eun-ah patted her head and asked, as if the sight was pitiful.
“… … “Velvet, why did a smart kid like you follow a place like that?”
The emotion in Kim Eun-ah’s voice was not blaming Velvet. She was filled with pity, as if she felt sorry for Velvet, who had suffered alone until now.
“Velvet is… … .”
Gumbug.
Velvet raised her lowered head and slowly checked everyone’s expressions. Adela was across from her, biting her lip with a sad look on her face.
“velvet… … .”
When Sumire made eye contact with Velvet, she smiled kindly.
“It’s okay to speak comfortably. velvet.”
“I wish the child had suffered so much! “Look at how quiet you are because you’re so discouraged!”
Of course, Amy’s concern was also typical of Amy.
“We also had a hard time this time?”
“It’s okay, Velvet~ I had fun~ I could have stayed with Siwoo.”
Even though he pretends to be abrasive, Lee Si-woo takes good care of him and Sakura smiles brightly. After checking everyone, Velvet finally opened her mouth as if relieved.
“Everyone likes velvet… … .”
Velvet kept thinking about Meilin’s words about how a surge of mana could hurt people around her.
“Velvet is… … I hope Velvet doesn’t hurt everyone because she’s actually a bad dragon… … .”
For Velvet, this failure was everything.
But, as Meilin said, if you put yourself at risk of becoming insolvent, what could be scarier than that?
“So follow along… … It’s so sad not to see mom and dad… … It’s sadder to hurt… … .”
Looking at her like this, Velvet resembled everyone’s personality a little bit. Although he was playful and lively, he was also kind and warm, and was too deep to be a child.
However, having deep thoughts is not necessarily a good thing. The sight of a child growing up quickly was bound to bring about heartbreaking moments for the parents.
“Why do you say you’re hurting us… … . You’re so kind, how can you hurt me? We won’t let that happen… … .”
When Kim Eun-ah, who was weak-hearted, eventually burst into tears, Velvet hurriedly got up and hugged her.
“Hot… … Don’t cry, Eun-ah, mom… … Velvet did something wrong… … .”
Velvet wasn’t the only one who suffered during the fall. Why do we only become aware of precious things after feeling an empty space? In particular, this was Kim Eun-ah’s second time.
“you idiot… … . Even if something happens to us, we don’t have the option of giving up on you. “Everyone here feels the same way.”
Sumire nodded vigorously at Kim Eun-ah’s words.
“that’s right. Velvet is like our family. We never give up! If you’re worried, you just need to learn how to manage mana!”
Adela, who had been listening to the story so far, raised her hand.
“good idea. “From today onwards, we will also provide Velvet’s education in the clubroom.”
It was an idea I just came up with, but it was definitely not wrong. Mana flooding happens to beginners who are not familiar with mana. This was an incident that would never have happened if Velvet had freely handled Mana.
As the atmosphere shifted toward education, Velvet, who has a high academic zeal, accepted it with joy.
“Oh, kyaooo…” … “Awesome, are you studying Velvet?”
“yes! The strongest hunter… … Um, dragon? Let’s all work hard together with the goal! velvet!”
Although she may not be running towards a grand goal like Sumire said, Velvet has been reborn as a true member worthy of the Hunter Academy’s poor performance.
Kuung-!
And that moment.
Orca, who had been sleeping outside, said he couldn’t be alone comfortably and kicked in the door.
“Little master!”
“Kyahang! Orca-! “You see it too and feel relieved!”
“You’re back! You will never know how anxiously and longingly I waited for my little master! “Orrrrrrr-!”
“Kyahaan!”
Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of Orca and Velvet dancing so happily, even putting their arms around each other’s shoulders.

Is something happening?
It was late at night, but Shin Yu-seong had not yet returned to the clubroom after checking the last message sent by Kim Eun-ah.
In the end, Adella went to bed early for Velvet, who must have been tired.
“Kyahang… … “It’s so nice to sleep with Adella’s mom.”
“I love it too. “If Velvet wants, I’ll even read her a story until she falls asleep.”
It was certainly a rare scene to see a fairy tale read by Adela herself. But for today, Velvet just wanted to focus on spending time with her family rather than fun fairy tales.
“no. Velvet is happy just being with Adella’s mom like this.”
Flash!
Seeing Velvet’s eyes suddenly shining, it seemed like something interesting had occurred to her.
“Kyahang-! “Adella’s mom, what did she do when she was young like Velvet?”
Since that incident, Adela had never thought about her childhood, so she fell into her thoughts while hugging Velvet.
‘… … Teddy bear.’
Why? If you think about it, your childhood was always spent with a cute brown teddy bear.
“When I was little, like Velvet, I always played with dolls.”
Velvet asked with a surprised face at Adella’s answer, which she eventually remembered little by little.
“That teddy bear also speaks like an orca!?”
Velvet, who is friends with an orca, can imagine this. Adella smiled and shook her head, as if Velvet’s reaction was cute.
“Hehe. no. It was just an ordinary doll. but… … .”

Why did I forget it?
Because it’s so old?
Or because it was difficult just to think of it?
But Adela didn’t care what the reason was. That was in the past, and she could no longer hurt Adela.
“… … “I always carried that teddy bear with me because it was a gift from people I loved very much.”
Adela was able to be healed by facing it confidently rather than hiding, avoiding, or trying to forget.
Gum-bug, gum-bug, gum-bug.
Velvet looked at the smiling Adella with shining eyes and nodded as if she understood.
“If Adela’s mom loves someone, she loves Velvet too! But what kind of person are you?”
In response to Pure Velvet’s question, Adela brushed her hair and opened her mouth. It was an amazing thing. Memories that I had previously hidden away to forget were no longer important.
“When I was young like Velvet, I was very scared of rooms with the lights off.”
“Wow, Adela’s mom!?”
If you think of Adella now, Adella being scared just by the light going out, it was hard to contrast that.
“sure. When I was young, I was very cowardly. He wasn’t as smart as Velvet… … “I was a crybaby.”
“I can’t believe it… … It’s so exciting… … .”
The reason Adella was nicknamed the Ice Princess in Gaon was not simply because she handled ice.
This was because Adela’s expressionless, insensitive, and indifferent reaction to others felt as cold as ice. And that was one of the reasons why most students could not close the distance between Adela and her.
But before that incident, Adela’s childhood was almost the complete opposite.
[Let’s sleep together. scary… … .]
At night, I opened my parents’ door and came in and slept with them. He was very shy and wanted to become friends, so when his friends approached him, he would often hide behind his parents’ legs.
The teddy bear was a gift given to Adela by her parents.
[Adela? Please give this bear a name.]
[Now that you’re not alone, you won’t be afraid. I’ll teach you how to become friends with your peers!]
“… … So I gave the teddy bear a name and really treated it like a friend. It was a kind of exercise. “It was very difficult for me as a child.”
Adella nodded, looking at Velvet as if something occurred to her.
“Come to think of it… … Velvet also needs a place to make friends. “Is it really a kindergarten?”
If Velvet were to decide where she would go, it would be an educational center rather than a typical kindergarten. The government has already created many educational centers to educate children who have already developed their characteristics after the age of five.
It is a place to receive simple education before moving on to a general academy.
“Kyahaan~ More than that, where is that teddy bear now?”
Of course, what was monopolizing Velvet’s attention right now was Adella’s teddy bear.
However, contrary to Velvet’s expectation that she would have kept it specially because it was a precious item, Adella gave a surprising answer.
“… … I forgot.”
“Huh… … Forget it!? How did it happen!?”
I forgot about that teddy bear.
“No, now that I remember, should I say I forgot?”
But it just occurred to me now.
Adella, who gave an ambiguous answer, hugged Velvet and expressed her gratitude.
“It’s all thanks to Velvet.”
Why do we find out that precious things are empty only too late? Adela is grateful that her daily life has finally returned to its original place, and she smiles happier than ever.
