Chapter 405
Winter vacation was like a dream for students who were exhausted from their hunter life. In Japan alone, festivals such as Sapporo’s famous ‘Snow Woman’s Snow Festival’ and Osaka’s ’30-Legged Octopus Takoyaki’ were so popular that they were already full of people.
However, the place that Ishiu and Sakura visited together during winter vacation was not a festival, but a dojo.
Of course, that did not mean that the scenery of the dojo was overshadowed by the festival. It was quite charming to sit on the wide floor and look out at the plain snow-covered outside. I was also looking forward to the steaming hot pot placed on the table.
‘okay… … .’
Lee Si-woo, who saw Sakura’s parents smiling across the table, couldn’t help but feel nervous to the point where he gulped and swallowed his saliva.
‘It’s coming.’
Lee Si-woo was not a fool. Of course, he knew what it meant to invite himself to such an event during the winter vacation.
“Well, hot pot… … It smells really good. So, the mushroom smell… … .”
No matter how awkward it may be, what is he talking about now? Since he is not a glutton at this important moment, the only thing he brings up is food. Was there no better topic?
“It is a high quality product. “Isn’t it great to be able to eat such delicious mushrooms even in winter?”
However, Ishiu felt grateful to Sakura’s mother, who was willing to accept such awkward questions.
“Well, I see… … .”
“Oh my, Siwoo, are you nervous? “Don’t be nervous already~”
Sakura thought that even Lee Si-woo’s nervous appearance was cute and smiled like a fox.
“I know you’re busy, but you took the time to do this… … “The reason we organized this event is because we wanted to say thank you to Siwoo.”
Sakura’s father, who had been watching the relationship between the two until now, smiled in relief.
“I see. “After Siwoo came, the dojo became more lively, and Sakura smiled more often.”
However, Lee Si-woo was unable to nod his head straight even when Sakura’s parents expressed their gratitude.
I was also thankful. It was Sakura who came running to him when he heard that Shin Yoo-seong’s party was in danger, and it was Sakura who always supported him.
“no.”
Lee Si-woo opened his mouth after deep thought.
“My thanks… … .”
The eyes of Sakura and her three parents turned to Lee Si-woo. Everyone was waiting for Lee Si-woo’s next words.
However, as Lee Si-woo was about to say his next words, an indescribable embarrassment stirred within him. His lips itched as he tried to spit out words that did not suit him.
But Lee Si-woo finally spit it out.
“Rather, I… … “You should do it to Sakura.”
“Huh~ Siwoo, you to me? Should I listen to it somewhere? What?”
Sakura still responded with a playful face, even wrapping her arms around Lee Si-woo. However, Lee Si-woo got lucky with his very serious face and voice.
“that is… … Before I met you, I was a thorny person. “There was no place to accept anyone else, and no one approached.”
Because his real self was a professionally trained murder weapon since childhood. I acted like the complete opposite.
“So bright and cheerful… … . I played the exact opposite of being kind to everyone. “In reality, I’m a moody, gloomy guy.”
Sakura didn’t answer anything. Because Ishiu was only looking at her table, she couldn’t see Sakura’s face. The best she could do for now was to spit out the thoughts she had stored away.
“But it’s different now. … … No, I wanted to be different. “I don’t think it suits me, but it makes me want to try a little harder.”
Bubble Bubble-
There is only the sound of the hot pot boiling. Outside, covered in snow, there was only silence. Lee Si-woo’s voice was the only one on the floor.
But just as Lee Si-woo was trying to catch his breath and say his next words, Sakura asked.
“… … why?”
It was a short sentence that encapsulated why Lee Si-woo was thinking of changing and why he was trying to make an effort.
Well, I’ve already gone this far, but there was no reason why I couldn’t answer that much of a question.
It was because he liked Sakura. Because she didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
“Sakura, it’s too much for me to give up just because I’m not ready… … .”
However, Lee Si-woo’s honest confession was cut off by a sudden attack of the index finger.
“S-stop… … .”
Sakura’s index finger touched Lee Si-woo’s lips. It stopped her from speaking honestly. Only then was Siwoo Lee able to look at Sakura’s face.
Sakura’s ears and cheeks were so red, and her eyes were so big.
“What are you doing, Sakura? “Are you embarrassed now?”
Sakura couldn’t easily respond to Lee Si-woo’s playful sarcasm. He quietly muttered with his eyes filled with moisture.
“that is… … because I like it so much… … .”
Sakura’s parents looked at each other with happy expressions at the two’s heartbreaking displays of affection. Today, the two parents had a lot of things they wanted to ask Si-Woo Lee, but it seemed like there was no need to say those words.
“Now the casserole is starting to cook.”
“is it so. “It would be best to eat first now.”
So right now, it would be better to eat hotpot while it’s warm rather than saying those few words. Because Lee Si-woo was a person who would cherish Sakura more than his own life even without such a promise.

Even if you are a witch who has mastered all the knowledge in the world, there are things you don’t know unless you experience it yourself. For example, sitting on a luxury cruise ship that splits the ocean and enjoying the warmth of a tropical region even in winter, or seeing sea birds gathering to eat food thrown by travelers.
“hmm… … .”
Shin Hayun, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, looked at the horizon in the pouring sunlight. If she were an ordinary woman, how would she react? Should I say she is beautiful? The transparent sea reflecting light was like a jewel.
It was a scenery that was enough to make one fall in love with such sentiments.
“The wind is cool. Lee Hyuk, is this the scenery you wanted to show?”
Despite Shin Hayun’s question, Lee Hyuk, who was standing next to her, remained silent for a while. He just smiled slightly, as if he was happy to be with Shin Hayun.
For the first time, Lee Hyuk ignored his answer, but rather than getting angry, Shin Hayoon just smiled.
“… … Wow, it’s spacious. “The world is.”
“Do you like it?”
“I just realized that even though I’ve lived this long, there are so many things I haven’t seen or felt… … .”
When Shin Hayun moved the tip of her chin, saying she would go down from the front, Lee Hyuk accepted her body as if she had been waiting. Normally, this level of height would have been easily lowered through telekinesis, but for the time being, Shin Hayun’s body, which had had its mana sealed, was only at the level of an ordinary person.
My body has become so weak that I cannot properly lift heavy objects on my own, let alone monsters or monsters.
“Hmm, what an amazing experience. “I’m not used to being taken care of.”
“So do i. “Because Hayun, you are the first person to protect someone.”

Of course, Shin Hayun and Lee Hyuk still do not understand each other, and the distance between them has not been completely narrowed.
“It’s such a bothersome thing to like someone. To be happy by helping the weak… … .”
“It’s the process of becoming a fool. “I start to get wet little by little by the light rain, and eventually I lose everything.”
Why did Lee Hyuk like him even though he didn’t do anything for him? It was very difficult to understand the illogical emotions of humans with a witch’s rational knowledge.
“So the love you’re talking about is the process of becoming a fool? Becoming something other than yourself?”
“It’s similar except that the process is fun. “I’m happy just talking to you like this, Hayun.”
“… … okay?”
To say that Lee Hyuk’s love was unrequited was not enough. It was a truly one-sided and truly sad love.
There is a big difference in the feelings of the two. If Lee Hyuk’s feelings for Shin Hayoon were love, Shin Hayoon’s feelings were curiosity. She just wanted to know what Lee Hyuk felt toward her and why Laplace was able to disappear in joy.
“Come closer to me.”
Thanks to this, Shin Hayun was able to deal with Lee Hyuk without any guilt. He could stand at the end of a cruise ship in the beautiful waters of the tropics and give her a romantic kiss.
The moment Lee Hyuk felt the moment their lips touched, it was a dizzying love, but Shin Hayoon was just curious and capricious.
“I guess it’s still not me, right? My heart didn’t race, and I didn’t become a fool like you. After all, it’s just skin and mucous membranes touching, right?”
It was truly Shin Hayoon’s way of expressing a romantic kiss like this. However, Lee Hyuk could hardly disobey Shin Hayun’s magical nature.
“… … Hayun, I’m not doing this because I want you to know me.”
Lee Hyuk was a one-sided loser.
The moment I saw Shin Hayun’s long straight hair and mocking smile, all other thoughts completely disappeared from my mind. The moment he saw Shin Hayun in a white dress, Lee Hyuk’s heart beat like crazy.
Lee Hyuk’s feelings for Shin Hayun were growing day by day.
“I see. “You are such a foolish person to fall in love with a witch.”
Shin Hayun laughed at Lee Hyuk and looked beyond the horizon. She’s such a stupid idiot. This wasn’t Shin Hayun’s first time watching a human fall in love with a witch.
I just remembered that it didn’t always end well.
“No, you don’t know. Hayun, you are changing too. “The fact that you obediently followed me on this trip is proof of that, right?”
“You can think as you like. I’m curious about what Laplace said, but… … I just wanted to see the wider world. “I don’t want to participate in your lovemaking.”
Lee Hyuk smiled leisurely as if he were Shin Hayun. The saying that if you stay together for a long time, you start to resemble each other seems to be true.
“Then just think of it as a game. “A game where the person you fall in love with first loses.”
“okay? Then you are a complete loser. I told you. “I have never felt such a feeling, and I cannot feel it.”
What Shin Hayun said was true. Now, Lee Hyuk’s one-sided courtship. Shin Hayun’s feelings and Lee Hyuk’s feelings were as big a difference as heaven and earth.
But still, Lee Hyuk shook his head with a faint smile.
“You don’t know that. Hayun, you are winning now, but… … “Because I don’t know what happens later.”
Lee Hyuk, who always stayed by my side, knew. Although he does not realize it himself, after the Laplace and Shin shooting incidents, Shin Hayun was changing little by little.
“okay. Sounds fun. Give it a try. “Of course you will lose.”
So Lee Hyuk thought that the current game was a competition worth trying. He challenged this game not to become the winner, but simply to give Shin Hayun fun and joy.
A witch who had struggled with loneliness all her life now has her only supporter.
