I examined Idrysh’s face to see if there were any signs of displeasure. His face was brightened by the sunlight, and his hair shone like tinsel. It must have been hot.

But Idrysh did not flinch at my question, only slowly exhaling. His eyelashes rested comfortably, and his slightly parted, defenseless lips were underneath.

Up close, Idrysh looked like a masterpiece painted with a single stroke of a painter’s brush, inspired by beauty. The lines forming his face were smooth, and there was no excess. But at the same time, all the features harmonized artistically.

If Ozar was a man of miniature beauty, Idrysh was a wild handsome man.

I stared at his face for a long time. This was the first time I had looked at him like this, as if observing him for a long time.

I turned my head towards the window. My heart beat a little faster.

Was it because it was hot?

Somehow, my stomach was tight and swirling. I felt the urge to open the window and breathe in the cool air. Sweat was forming in my mind too.

“I should finish and leave soon.”

I focused again on the black mark.

Every day, as I touched the black mark, I learned a few things.

After it came in physical contact with me, the black mark noticeably shrank.

Then, over time, it returned close to its original state. The more Idrysh moved, the faster it grew. If the trace grew, the pain grew, and if the trace shrank, Idrysh’s pain seemed to lessen.

The black trace sometimes reacted violently to my hand, and sometimes reacted slowly. Today, its movement was strong.

“What rule is this, anyway?”

I traced the black mark that spread like tendrils with my finger. It wriggled as if it were alive, avoiding my finger.

The central part where these black tendrils gathered was as dark as a black hole. No matter how much my hand touched here, it did not change.

Maybe this was where the cursed hedgehog’s spine was stuck?

A tiger cursed by being pricked by a hedgehog’s spine. How trivial.

I laughed quietly.

“Why are you laughing?”

“You’re awake? Someone is so trivial.”

Idrysh opened his eyes and looked at me lazily. He seemed to gauge my thoughts and then closed his eyes again.

Lazy cat.

“An hour has already passed.”

“Lies.”

His low, sleepy voice sounded lethargic.

“It’s true. Oh, it’s hot. I want to leave now.”

“Wait a little longer before you go.”

Idrysh, as if trying to prevent me from escaping, grabbed my wrist.

“I have to go…….”

I got up awkwardly and sat down again next to Idrysh.

Lately, Idrysh had been subtly increasing the time. Probably having me nearby eased the pain.

But I had finished today’s task…

“I have something to ask.”

“What?”

Idrysh looked at me again. Can’t he not look at me? Every time Idrysh looked at me, I felt like my body temperature rose by 2℃.

“That is… do duck Therians lay eggs?”

“What?”

Idrysh burst into incredulous laughter.

“No, I’ve been curious. Do bird Therians lay eggs?”

“No way.”

“I thought so. Anyway, that’s it for today! Wait until tomorrow.”

I jumped up. It was refreshing to get away from the hot tiger.

“It’s hot.”

I gathered my long hair with my hands. When the wind entered my neck, I felt a bit alive.

“Oh, by the way, come and help me prune the grapevines later. I won’t be able to do it for days on my own. You’ll come, right?”

I tied up my hair with the string that was on my wrist.

(This is a time separator.)

Idrysh silently watched Cecilia tie her hair, not answering.

Cecilia was busy talking about the grapevines or whether he was looking or not.

“We need to remove all the dead branches. They’re too lush, not receiving enough sunlight. Then the grapes won’t ripen properly. Oh, it’s inconvenient without a mirror.”
Cecilia grumbled, deeply furrowing her brow as she focused on fixing her hair. Yet, with a few swings of her hand, her hair, once stretched like silk, was neatly gathered. Cecilia struggled to form a ribbon around the knot.

Idrish internally felt a sense of regret.

Cecilia’s red hair was always fascinating to look at. Inside the house, it was a dark bloodred, and under the sunlight, it gleamed like a ruby.

Idrish closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After only a moment, the entire bedroom smelled of Cecilia.

“Grapes must be delicious. Idrish would enjoy them once he tries them. Who doesn’t like something sweet? Don’t eat meat all the time.”

Yes, grapes.

The scent they would give off if soaked in cold water after soaking up plenty of sunlight was something like this.

Clear, clean, and sweet.

When smelling this scent, the moment of chasing Cecilia came to mind.

Numerous handrails and a horn loud enough to ring ears, Cecilia was beyond the railway tracks.

The moment their deep brown eyes met, all noise seemed to fade away.

Her bloodred hair was waving. Each strand moved slowly. Though Cecilia was too far away to hear her heavy breathing, it seemed audible.
