Chapter 359
I hear someone talking. I can hear the beautiful chirping of birds. The place where Adela woke up felt like a warm forest rather than a cold ice castle.
Dazzling sunlight seeps through my closed eyes. Have your eyelids ever felt heavy like today?
“ah… … .”
Adela let out a breath and opened her eyes with difficulty. She realized that it was the warmth radiating from her divine hand, Adela, that had warmed her own cold body from earlier.
Adela could see a panoramic view of the forest through the broken ceiling of Ruin Castle. She saw her witch fall and the forest come to life after winter had passed away.
“you… … .”
Adela clearly engraved the face of Shin Yu-seong in her eyes. She engraved in her heart the panoramic view of a world cleared of winter.
I once thought about it.
What kind of expression would you make after resolving all the anxiety that was sleeping inside you, and would you feel emptiness at that time? Is it a feeling of relief? Or is it something more?
But the answer was so simple.
The question that filled Adela’s mind right now was not a trivial sentiment, but an emotion.
Adela saw Shin Yuseong.
The man in front of me was that kind of person.
He was the one who defeated the witch in the frozen castle and waited through the difficult times, embracing himself in a anxious heart without any joy of victory. If someone were to ask me what that feeling was, I would want to answer that I don’t know, but Adela already knew the answer.
“You’re back. Adela.”
Shin Yu-seong, relieved belatedly, smiled.
Instead of giving an immediate answer, Adela thought about something carefully and asked a bit playfully.
“Were you waiting for me?”
I guess this is a very obvious question. If Shin Yoo-seong were to encounter something like that, he would act like that himself.
Shin Yu-seong opened his mouth.
The mouth was moving tightly, trying to say something. However, Adella knew what Shin Yusung was trying to say and what Shin Yusung was feeling even without him saying a word.
“Were you worried that I wouldn’t wake up?”
Now Adela knew how sad it was to not be able to see someone dear to her, not to come back. She knew what the past she wanted to face.
“I feel the warm sunlight. My heart is beating very, very quickly. … … “If I wasn’t there before, I wouldn’t have known what this feeling was, but I know it now.”
The moment she opened her eyes and saw Shin Yu-seong, and the moment she held the hand of Velvet who came to her, Adella realized.
“This feeling of great joy and relief… … . “Are you the same?”
In response to Adela’s question, Shin Yu-seong gently held her white hand, which had become pale from the cold.
“When I descended Mt. Musin, I thought of myself as brave. To save people in danger, to meet Master’s expectations and my goal, even if it means losing my life… … . “I thought I could give it away.”
Honesty is the door that opens the heart.
Shin Yu-seong confessed himself without any embellishment. Being able to show your weakness is based on trusting the other person and enlightening yourself.
“But I couldn’t do that either. I’m not that strong. “I lost someone precious to me and I couldn’t stay healthy or have the courage to throw myself away.”
Grinning-
“… … Hehe, I think I understand.”
How did Shin Yu-seong’s heart resemble his own so much? Adela realized that Shin Yu-seong’s feelings were no different from her own.
“Since joining your party, I have learned a lot.”
Adella whispered to Shin Yu-seong or to herself. The voice was not that of a helpless defeated soldier, but rather the serenity of an old man recalling excessive memories.
“After eating the delicious cake Sumire made… … , Kim Eun-ah, who I thought was simply a rival… … . “I came to rely on her for her strong sense of responsibility as well as her pride, and I also gained a fun colleague named Amy.”
Perhaps it was because Lewis had escaped from her body, but Adella lifted her weak arm and gently stroked Shin Yu-seong’s cheek.
“… … me and you And while having fun with Velvet, I started to believe in fate, something I had never believed in before.”
Adela knew what she was lacking. She now knew that Shin Yoosung’s feelings were not based on weakness.
“What I’ve been searching for so long… … It’s not a great feeling like the tension of victory… … . “It seems to be a simpler reason.”
Adela found herself wandering around in the cold looking for her parents. She filled that blank space with Shin Yu-seong and Velvet. And it filled her with happiness that she was her colleague.
“yes… … . “What I’ve been looking for so long is happiness.”
Even though he was indifferent, he was able to gain courage even at the crossroads of death. But now Adela has come to realize that life is filled with so much happiness.
“… … So I can understand your feelings.”
Adela held her breath.
And to his mother and father whom he can no longer see, to his imaginary teddy bear friend who stayed by his side when he was lonely, to himself who overcame a difficult past, and to Shin Yu-seong, who brought back the spring of ‘happiness’ to his life that felt like a cold winter. I expressed my gratitude.
“Maybe you and I…” … . “I think they love each other very much.”
Previously, Adela only pursued the tension of the game. During the battle with the strong, he felt alive, and that was the only emotion allowed to Adela. But now I feel gratitude, emotion, joy, excitement… … And I knew her love.
I became a person who could use my power to protect others, not just for myself.
Ppaekkkom-
Is it because Adella left out Velvet’s name? Velvet stuck her head out next to Shin Yoosung’s shoulder.
“Kyahang! “Velvet also loves Adela’s mom!”
Adella laughed along with Velvet, who was smiling brightly.
“ah… … . velvet.”
The energy trapped in Ruin Castle was released, and blue hydrangeas bloomed around Adella.
Adela closed her eyes.
The harsh winter is over and spring has arrived, so let’s forget the cold and forget the loneliness. Now let’s feel the scent of spring.
“Hehe… … .”
Adela laughed out loud.
Perhaps it was because she had resolved a long-standing problem that had been in her mind for 12 years, but Adela did not forget to smile even as her mind grew distant.
Today, for the first time in a while, I felt like I was going to fall into a very deep and refreshing sleep without any dreams.

Lorelai just watched as Shin Yoosung returned with Velvet, lifting the fallen Adella with both hands.
Shin Yu-seong brilliantly fulfilled Chronoa’s expectations. We saved all of the raiding party and liberated Volterra from winter.
To Lorelai, Shin Yoosung’s appearance was very similar to the imaginary prince she had dreamed of.
But there is a difference.

The princess in his imagination was always Lorelai, but today Shin Yoo-seong’s princess was Adella.
I wonder what Master would think when he hears it, but honestly, Lorelai even felt a little bit of envy when she saw Adella being held by Shin Yu-seong.
But Lorelai loved stories more than anyone else, and the conversation she overheard between the two was a really good story. Adela and Shin Yu-seong were colleagues whom she trusted, and Shin Yu-seong, who seemed so strong, even had tears in his eyes from the joy of saving Adella.
“Now that’s enough, shall we go back? Angela?”
Even though she wasn’t a princess, it was a really good story.
“Are you sure you’re okay with this?”
Lorelai nodded to Angela’s question.
“… … Trust someone and open a closed heart with the power of love. “It was a great story.”
Although her feelings for Shin Yu-seong were passionate, Lorelai thought that she would make up for that regret with the joy of hearing a good story.
“okay. But Lorelai. “Do you really have no regrets?”
When Angela asked again, Lorelai shook her head.
“If you say it’s okay… … It’s definitely a lie. But I don’t have the courage to be a villain.”
Lorelai thought there was nothing a single mind could accomplish. The main characters in fairy tales overcome any ordeal with the power of love, but there was a promise of ‘hearts for each other’.
Even if he reveals his feelings now, it is just an ordeal that stands in the way of Shin Yu-seong and Adela.
Lorelai didn’t have the courage to do that.
I thought it was enough to hear a good story and that everyone had a happy ending.
Jeopuk-
Lorelai’s feet were particularly heavy as she left the shelter. Of course, this is probably due to regret. It must be a pleasant regret that she inevitably experiences after enjoying a good story.
However, Lorelai made a promise to Chronoa, who would be watching her. She said that she would not be pushed aside by Shin Yu-seong and Adela and that she would write a story better than anyone else.

Beep, beep beep-
dark lighting.
The green hologram continued to write messages.
[Target: Winter Witch Louise]
[Difficulty: Level 6]
[Area: Volterra]
[Special note: After completion of the strategy, the final evaluation based on data analysis results is raised to level 7 boss]
[Special Note 2: Student participants Shin Yu-seong and Lorelai showed outstanding performance among the raid members]
[Measurement of strategic support funds]
[2,600,000,000 won]
[…] … … .]
A level 6 veteran hunter and a few students solved the level 7 boss. Although the enormous support amount of 2.6 billion won per person was measured, the impact on the world was even more enormous.
Due to this incident, Shin Yu-seong and Lorelai’s fame was spreading widely, not only to hunters around the world but also to citizens.
However, Kang Yu-chan, who read the report, was very calm.
“I knew you could do it. Good read. Then, proceed with the rest of the schedule as scheduled.”
Meilin was uncomfortable with Kang Yu-chan’s attitude. Could it be that Kang Yu-chan already knew that Lewis’s strength was level 7, not level 6?
Did they force students to risk their lives knowing the dangers? So what is the intention?
However, Meilin could not bear to voice her curiosity. Mei Lin was not a fool who would dare to show a hint of his suspicions against Kang Yu-chan, the president of the association.
Rather, it was Kang Yu-chan who revealed his thoughts first, as if he had read Meilin’s mind.
“… … I already know what you think. “You may think it’s reckless, but wouldn’t it be difficult for Yooseong to reveal his true colors if he takes the 7th graders with him?”
Meilin unconsciously bowed her head at Kang Yu-chan’s sharp words, as if reading her thoughts.
“S-sorry! President of the Association! Well, I just… … .”
Kang Yu-chan smiled and shook his head as he looked at Mei-rin.
“It’s okay. It’s true that the raid team would have been dangerous if they hadn’t performed as well as I thought. But if that level of skill is all you need… … .”
Kang Yu-chan, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled kindly and crossed his legs.
“Anyway, we can’t reach the ‘truth’ that even we haven’t been able to achieve.”
Accepting any sacrifice for practical benefit. That was the reason Kang Yu-chan became the president of the association.
