“After the hunting game, I don’t understand why I acted like that. But for now, I’m fine.”

Only then did Calyx release Vansant, asking.

“Do you also not know why we ended up like this?”

“I’m not sure. But one thing’s certain…”

Vansant picked up the gun lying nearby. It was the sleep dart gun Delina had.
“The reason we all changed and returned to our original state is because of the same person. Delina.”

Delina.

Upon Vansant’s words, everyone recalled her name.

In fact, they remembered their actions. However, they couldn’t recall why they behaved that way. But one thing was clear—they vividly remembered someone who came to mind strongly when they regained consciousness. That someone was Delina.

“And it seems items related to that kid are helping us return to our senses. For example, I have a gun, you have a scarf, and you have…”

Calyx’s hand held nothing. However, seeing the cookie crumbs around his mouth, Vansant nodded silently.

“Anyway, we need to find her.”

Upon Vansant’s words, Zen quickly asked, “Where did Delina go?”

“She said she was going towards the mansion. But now…”

From where Vansant was, the mansion was visible. However, there was no one near the mansion. Zen and Calyx also couldn’t sense anyone in the vicinity.

“It seems she went somewhere other than the mansion.”

“Where? Where is that?”

As Zen urged, Vansant frowned and said, “Wait, I’m thinking. If she came all the way here to take us, then by now, she must be with others…”

Ashd and Noah.

Determining who Delina is with and where she is was an area even Vansant found challenging to deduce.

Wearing a worried expression, Zen suddenly widened his eyes and looked up. Calyx, too, raised his head as if he had noticed something, and Vansant followed suit, murmuring softly.

“Artificial smoke…”

Far away, the gaze of the three people gathered where white smoke was rising. And they quickly rushed towards the location of the artificial smoke.

“Delina!”

Zen was the first to arrive at the location with artificial smoke. However, due to the smoke, visibility was blurred. Calyx and Vansant, who followed, also looked around, furrowing their brows. Then, not far away, someone’s shouting was heard.

“Do you think I won’t find you like this? Come out right now!”

Soon, the smoke cleared, revealing the owner of the voice. Ashd, holding a knife, was glaring fiercely. The three instinctively adjusted their postures.

“What, you guys.”

Ashd’s eyebrows rose as if feeling discomfort from the appearance of the three.

“Somehow you look different.”

“…”

“Could it be that the woman did this? Delina Floren?”

As Delina’s name came out of Ashd’s mouth, the bodies of the three trembled. Ashd’s mouth curled up fiercely.

“Even without that, I was trying to find and kill that woman. It worked out well, didn’t it?”

“…”

“What, is killing that woman not so good? So you decided to attack me?”
At the mention of killing Delina, the faces of the three people turned grim. Tension built up between Ashd and the three. At that moment, when they were facing each other with hostility, a strong wind swept through the forest, dispersing artificial smoke simultaneously.

“Delina!”

The visibility gradually improved. Zen spotted Inyeong not far away and shouted loudly. Zen’s voice drew the attention of the others to that spot. At the same time, they all discovered it.

“…”

They saw Noah and Delina facing each other, their lips locked in a kiss.
