Chapter 25 “Yes. It is because you are being purified. However, I suppose it must be a rather unfamiliar sight to someone seeing it for the first time.” Was it my imagination, or did I see his eyebrows tremble ever so slightly? He quickly continued speaking as though nothing had happened. “I heard that there is an important task you must accomplish here. I was also told that this ritual is absolutely necessary in order to carry it out.” Chief Priest Geyond spoke politely. “You…-

Chapter 24 Hamjjik nodded vigorously. The hummingbird, on the other hand, tilted its head. ‘Wouldn't making them cold and forcing them to get closer actually make their relationship better?’ But it didn't have a chance to say that. Hamjjik was too busy pacing back and forth and lamenting. The fat cat tilted its head too. Hamjjik froze like a stone statue. Seeing him remain completely motionless, the hummingbird and fat cat also fell silent. Soon, however,…

Chapter 23 “It should be the same as what's on my plate. It's the same menu as the Grand Duke of Wolverlake's, isn't it?” I muttered to myself as I picked up an almond from the nuts on my plate and held it out to Hamjjik. Hamjjik took the almond with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth. Crunch, crunch. He gnawed away at it enthusiastically, filling his cheek pouches to the brim. Watching him eat, I thought he was adorable. I kept picking out walnuts, peanuts, fruit, and other…

Chapter 22 The entrance to the tent opened slightly, and the light from the torch outside slanted in through the gap. Judging by the presence he sensed, Aiden thought it was Hamjjik. A moment later, the sea breeze slipped through the slightly open tent flap. It wasn't the cold season, but the night wind was still chilly. Hamjjik wandered around inside the tent for a while, rustling about before going back outside. Leaving the tent entrance slightly open. ‘Why didn't that little spirit…

Chapter 21 “If I’d known that, I would have eaten with you.” “What?” “Actually, I secretly went and ate some myself.” “……” I rolled my eyes around for a moment before cautiously asking, “How many?” “……” This time, Aiden’s gaze turned toward the sky. He seemed to count something in his head for a moment before nodding. “One hundred.” “…Pardon? How many?” “One… hundred.” Was that even possible? I slightly furrowed my…

Chapter 30 Ouch. The moment Eden said that, Raine felt a pang of guilt somewhere in her heart. ‘Haah… Did Mr. Kim Do-jin report me?’ Raine blushed as she remembered Secretary Kim Do-jin diligently recording something in his notes. But Eden had not yet said that the example of two packs of ramen and two triangle kimbaps was specifically about Raine. So she desperately pretended it wasn't her and changed the subject. “I-I also swell up really easily, and my basal metabolic rate must…-

Chapter 29 “Mr. Eden?” He had said that, if she was lucky, she might get to see him in the evening. Apparently, today was one of those days. Behind him stood Cheon Myeong, carrying a large paper bag folded neatly into a sharp, rectangular shape. “You two came together?” Raine smiled brightly, genuinely happy to see them. “……” At her smile, Eden quietly raised the corners of his lips. Cheon Myeong, standing behind him, also smiled as he lifted the large paper bag. “I…

Chapter 28 It was a photograph of children playing in a playground. The date written on the back of the photograph was from twenty years ago. As Raine stared at the children in the picture, she realized that it was a photograph from when she had been seven years old, and she let out a small chuckle. “Wow. There really was a picture from back then.” At kindergarten, young Myeong and Raine were holding hands tightly and smiling brightly at the camera. Since Raine had left home without…

Chapter 27 “Hey, Miss Hyena! Good morning!” The nation's beloved celebrity, Kang Seo-jun, who had walked past Raine earlier with a half-awake expression, appeared again. Judging by the corporate-logo shopping bag in his hand, he seemed to have just returned from a convenience store. As though nothing had happened earlier, Hyena called his name again in her sweet, coquettish voice. “Mr. Seo-jun?” Kang Seo-jun smiled broadly and naturally placed a hand on Hyena's…

Chapter 26 “…What?” She was quite taken aback by the childish reply. After hesitating for a moment, she sent Eden another text. Yesterday, I got a job after we agreed that I would pay back the examination costs in installments. A moment later, a reply came from Eden. Along with his message, he attached an audio file. I only know about the text you sent last night. And you didn't get the job to pay back the examination costs. “What… does that mean?” Raine opened the audio…
