“New skills?”
“Yeah. I acquired some new ones recently. However, there’s one skill name that I just can’t understand no matter how much I look at it.”
As Delina hesitated, Noah quickly reached a conclusion.
“Then just try using it.”
“Huh?”
“If you can use anything, then just try it. That way, you’ll figure out what it is.”
Noah’s suggestion made sense.
‘After all, when did I ever know what ability I had and used it…’
Agreeing with Noah’s words, Delina stared silently at the displayed keyword in front of her.
“But are you really concerned about that while I’m here?”
!
Noah, who had approached without Delina noticing, asked in a soft voice. Startled, Delina tried to step back reflexively, but there was a sofa backrest right behind her. Stuttering, she asked Noah.
“Why, why are you like this?”
“What? Can’t we even sit together?”
“No, we can. We can… But it’s just that…”
‘Too close!’
Just being alone in the room was enough to make Delina nervous, and Noah was so close that she could hear him breathing. Smiling at the uneasy Delina, Noah grinned.
“What are you thinking right now?”
“…Even though it’s our first meaningful meeting, just the two of us in the room, what should we do?”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It feels a bit awkward being only in the room, so how about we take a walk in the garden together? The flowers have bloomed beautifully.”
Delina tried to change the topic by suggesting they go to the garden, but Noah’s raised lips showed no sign of coming down.
“Why is it a bit awkward just being in the room?”
“Huh?”
“Just talking would be fine. But why does it feel a bit awkward being in the room?”
Because of Noah persistently asking, Delina’s head kept dropping lower. Then Noah whispered low in Delina’s ear.
“By any chance, were you thinking of something other than talking?”
“N-No, it’s not like that. How do you see me?”
“Is that so? But your face seems to say otherwise.”
“It’s not like that, go away, go away!”
Startled by Noah’s teasing, Delina waved her hands to push him away. That’s when it happened.
!
The keyword, momentarily left hovering, was pressed. The keyword blinked as if it had been executed. Startled, Delina looked at the window, but nothing seemed to have happened. The room was silent.
‘What? Wasn’t it a big deal?’
Delina, who had been tensed, breathed a small sigh of relief. However, soon her vision was overturned.
?
In an instant, Delina blinked her eyes rapidly, not knowing what had happened. And she quickly understood her situation. Delina had somehow ended up lying on the sofa, and Noah was the one who had laid her down.
“Noah?”
Startled, Delina called Noah, but Noah didn’t say anything and held both of Delina’s wrists in one hand. Delina’s eyes, unable to move with both arms pinned down, shook anxiously.
‘Hey, why is he doing this?’
Somehow, Noah’s gaze seemed hazy. He climbed onto Delina’s body as it was. With both hands restrained, she couldn’t even cancel the keyword. Delina quickly assessed Noah’s condition.
“Noah, Noah?”
“……. ”
“You seem a bit out of it. Can you please get yourself together…?”
At that moment, Noah’s breath was felt on her neck. Delina let out a silent scream. Noah, who had his lips on her neck for a moment, lifted his face again and stared at Delina intently.
“Delina.”
“Uh, yeah. Okay. Although I’m Delina… Why are you unbuttoning your shirt?”
Just as Delina spoke, Noah was unbuttoning one button at a time. Delina, who found herself watching his actions up close, suddenly realized something and opened her mouth in shock.
‘Could it be… Momjeong, is this…!’
Only now did Delina’s eyes, who somewhat grasped the meaning of the keyword, shake rapidly. Meanwhile, Noah, who had partially unbuttoned his shirt, softened his eyes gently. Delina, momentarily captivated by the beautiful sight to the point of losing words, quickly snapped out of it and shook her head. Then, she looked around.
!
Delina spotted a gun on her desk and quickly opened her mouth.
“Jewel, Jewel!”
“…Kik?”
In response to Delina’s urgent cry, the window opened, revealing Jewelia. Jewel observed the two people entwined side by side and, in the meantime, Delina pointed the gun at her.
“Jewel! Shoot the gun toward me!”
“…Kik kik?”
At Delina’s command to shoot the gun, Jewel tilted its head. Meanwhile, Noah’s face came closer. At that moment, Delina’s voice became louder.
“It’s okay, quickly!”
In response to Delina’s shout, Jewel jumped onto the desk and, holding the gun, pulled the trigger. Soon, a sleep-inducing bullet hit Delina and Noah’s bodies. Then Noah’s eyes slowly closed. Delina smiled towards Jewel.
“Well done, Jewel. Thank yo…”
However, the overwhelming drowsiness overwhelmed Delina as well. Unable to finish her sentence, Delina also fell into a deep sleep.
“Have you been at the training ground all day today?”
Felix approached Bellion, dressed in training attire, and asked. Bellion nodded his head without saying a word.

He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
