At that moment, I heard a surprised voice next to me.
—… … What the. That person suddenly appeared?
—What are you talking about? Are you sick?
When I turned my head to follow the voice, a woman was looking at me with a surprised face.
I whispered to the person next to me
—… … Wow. For a moment, I thought it was Kim Seon-woo.
—They do look alike. Heh heh. Hey heh. Let’s go quickly. You’re a nuisance.
The two women laughed and disappeared.
I blankly stared at their disappearing backs and then pulled down the hat I was holding.
[Special agent who went to Antarctica for investigation
Twelve agents from Team Mu returned home after a year. They are expected to visit for the two-week funeral of the late Kim Sun-woo… … ]
The news streamed from the giant electronic screen hanging on the Gochung Building.
In the news, familiar faces were seen walking with stern expressions.
Lee Seo-jun, Choi Seo-yoon, Yoon Ha-young, Shin Young-jun, Yoo Ah-ra… … .
These were faces I had missed seeing for the first time in two years.
Only then did I return to my original world.
I could feel that I was back.
“Everyone has changed a little bit.”
Two years may not seem like a long time, but I feel a subtle change.
I should say that there is a mature atmosphere.
Of course, his youthful appearance is still the same, but his atmosphere has changed little by little.
“It’s been two weeks.”
I stared blankly at the sight and then started walking away.
Seoul National Cemetery.
A small group of people gathered together to commemorate Kim Seon-woo’s second anniversary.
Lee Seo-jun, Shin Young-jun, and Yoo Ah-ra looked down at the grave with stern faces, and Yoon Ha-young had her lips tightly shut with a sad expression.
Seo-yoon Choi, who was standing at the very front, quietly placed a flower in front of the tombstone, looked at the grave, and spoke softly.
“Senior, we’re here.”
The voice was calm, but there was deep sadness in it.
At those short words, Yoon Ha-young bowed her head deeply.
“I’m sorry. I wanted to visit you more often, but I’ve been so busy with work that I haven’t been able to.”
Seo-yoon Choi swallowed dry saliva and continued speaking.
“We are really working hard. If you can’t solve it, we want to solve it for you.”
Choi Seo-yoon was unable to continue speaking.
It felt like the emotions that had been suppressed deep in my chest would explode at any moment.
Two years had already passed, but his voice and face calling her were still vivid.
Yoo Ah-ra looked at her back and placed a hand on her shoulder with sad eyes.
Lee Seo-jun let out a small breath and looked around.
Some people from the association and the Magic Academy
Some motives.
There were about 20 people gathered.
The number of people has decreased significantly compared to the first anniversary when about 50 people gathered.
Lee Seo-jun felt bitter, but thought that it was an inevitable phenomenon as time passed.
The living must live, and it is impossible to miss the dead forever.
Next year, which will be the third cycle, it will probably decrease even more.
“… … By the way, he’s not coming today
“Yes.”
Lee Seo-jun looked at Shin Young-jun’s muttering.
“who?”
“Well, there is. In the Hansung Group.”
“ah.”
At Shin Young-jun’s words, Lee Seo-jun looked around.
As he said, Han Se-yeon was nowhere to be seen.
He showed a more sorrowful reaction than anyone else during the last anniversary, and there were rumors that he visited the grave periodically.
Wow, I thought you would definitely attend.
Lee Seo-jun thought for a moment and then said.
“I guess you’re busy with work these days.”
An evening with a red sunset.
I arrived at the Seoul National Cemetery, the site of the ‘Kim Seon-woo 2nd anniversary’ that was being talked about on the news.
Actually, there was something I wanted to do before that. I said I had my own graveyard.
I went there because I was curious and also because I thought I might be able to see the faces of the main characters.
Perhaps because it was late in the evening, there was no sign of people inside the national cemetery.
I felt relieved and walked slowly.
You can see names carved into numerous tombs and gravestones.
There were wizards I had seen in books, and there were also tombs of association wizards who had recorded numerous achievements.
I’m in the same place as those wizards
It was a bit absurd that he was saddled, so I laughed.
“… … It was definitely around this time.”

I looked at the map of the national cemetery.
My grave must be somewhere around here.
at that time.
“found.”
[Kim Seon-woo’s Grave]
There are many flowers placed where there is a grave.
There it was.
Today is my second anniversary, and it looks like quite a few people came to commemorate it.
“Something feels strange.”
I crouched down and looked at my name written on the tombstone.
Before the battle with Croas, there was a lot of chaos with people calling me the enemy of humanity, but seeing that I’m buried in a national cemetery, I think I’ve been quite successful.
“Hmm.”
I looked around.
I wondered if there might be anyone there, but I couldn’t see anyone.
Even if I didn’t go and say hello, I wanted to see the faces of the main characters for the first time in a while.
I guess it can’t be helped since it’s late at night.
According to the news, I will be returning to Antarctica for investigation after completing my second period, so if I don’t see you today, I won’t be seeing you for a while.
“… … Well, I guess we’ll meet again someday.”
I don’t know when that day will come
But… won’t that day come someday if I keep following the main story?
It was while I was getting up from my seat with those thoughts in mind.
Bam.
A sound of something light like a bag falling was heard from somewhere.
… … and the familiar feeling of popularity.
I slowly turned my head, feeling doubtful.
At the same time, my two eyes twitched for a moment.
At the edge of my vision, a black-haired woman was looking at me with both hands covering her mouth.
It was a face I knew well.
And then she said to me.
“… …Mr. Jinwoo?”
I felt my heart flutter as I looked at her who appeared at an unexpected moment.
Reunion after two years.
Even though we hadn’t seen each other for a long time, she still looked the same as when we first met.
“… … Ms. Han Se-yeon.”
At my short call, tears filled Han Se-yeon’s eyes.
For a moment, his legs seemed to give out as if he couldn’t believe the situation, but soon he approached me with cautious steps.
As I watched her approaching, countless thoughts crossed my mind.
I’m not ready for the reunion yet.
What should I say first? Should I apologize? Or say hello?
“… …Are you Jinwoo?”
She came up to me before I knew it
He spoke to me in a trembling voice.
When she saw my face up close, she finally burst into tears.
She, who always showed me her strong side, was quickly falling apart in front of me.
The emotions that had been building up over two years of mental suffering were exploding in an instant.
Looking at her like that, I felt deep regret and guilt.
“Sorry, I’m a little late getting back.”
At the same time, Han Se-yeon grabbed my neck.
He hugged me tightly.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her falling tears soaked my clothes.
“… … What on earth happened? How could you have been alive for two years… … If you were alive, you should have told me you were alive… … Do you know how hard it was for me?”
I hugged her trembling body.
I felt even more sorry because I never thought her feelings for me would grow this much.
That’s how we spent our time, embracing each other.
… … And how much time passed?
Han Se-yeon, who had been in my arms all day, stopped crying.
The shaking in his shoulders had also disappeared, and he had regained his former calmness, as if he had completely calmed down.
No, to be exact, it was about five minutes ago that she calmed down.
M 99
But she still remained still in my arms.
Without saying or doing anything
Just as it is.
It’s not like I fell asleep because I was tired or anything.
As the waves of emotion that had been surging in like water subsided and he regained his senses, he looked back on his actions and felt ashamed.
And you must be wondering what to do since you missed the timing to fall for me.
I said, putting on little clothes, seeing such a cute appearance.
“Are you feeling calm now?”
Han Se-yeon fell out of my arms without saying a word.
When I raised my bowed head, I saw sunken eyes.
Soon she stared at me and nodded slightly with an embarrassed expression.
“……yes.”
After reuniting with Han Se-yeon, I moved to her house with her.
Beep beep beep
The front door opened and I stepped inside cautiously.
Her house, visited after a long time… … .
As I stepped into the living room, I felt a great stir deep in my chest.
Han Se-yeon also glanced at me, as if she felt similar emotions to me.
Why I feel this tension.
That’s right.
“……Huh?”
Because the small tree was looking up at me with its trembling eyes.
Looking at that sight, I felt a lump in my throat.
“Gretel… …
“Aaaah.”
Gretel ran towards me, swinging her short legs.
According to Han Se-yeon, Gretel seemed to have lost her memory, but fortunately, I seem to remember clearly.
I held Gretel in my arms and felt the hard texture of the wood I had felt before.
Gretel, who was held in my arms, burst into tears, and Han Se-yeon, who was watching their touching(?) reunion, smiled happily.
“How have you been, Gretel?”
“Ugh… …
After that, I entered the living room holding Gretel.
I looked around the neatly organized living room and carefully sat down on the sofa.
Han Se-yeon stared at me holding Gretel and said.
“Have you eaten by any chance?”
“no.”
After coming over from the border world, I went through various situations and didn’t have time to eat.
Considering that it was morning when I arrived, I hadn’t eaten in quite some time.
“Oh. Then I’ll prepare dinner. Is that okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
After that, Han Se-yeon started checking the refrigerator diligently.
I just blankly stared at her like that.
Even though she clearly had a lot to ask, she still hadn’t asked me any questions.
Then she slammed the bottle down on the table.
… … I plan to ask questions one by one.
“Ugh.”
Gretel cried briefly.
I placed Gretel, who I was holding in my arms, down in front of me and stroked my chin.
The summons that Gretel and I had made
The contract is terminated.
The contract was broken by my experience of death.
But I could faintly read Gretel’s emotions, as if they weren’t completely cut off.
“Gretel, let’s renew our contract.”
“Ugh!”
I smiled and raised my magical power. Having learned auxiliary magic for the past two years, I was able to easily implement the level of magic required for a contract.
Normally, a contract is required, but
It’s not like the medication is completely discontinued, but it can be easily manipulated.
Woohoo.
