The moment I heard his words, an “Ah” escaped involuntarily.

“There’s nothing difficult to think about. No, it’s not difficult. When the one destined to die appears, just let them share their power with the one who was supposed to live. And simultaneously, if you break the power given to the dying one with the power of a strong magician, it’s done.”

“Break the power with power…”

“With your current self, it should be possible.”

In truth, I’m unsure. It wasn’t originally my power. I don’t know how to do it, and I don’t know if I’ll succeed. But Hwang Do-joo nodded at me.

“If you want to do it, there’s nothing you can’t do. So believe in yourself.”

“…Really… Can I just do it with the intention to do it?”

“Then. Try it anytime. Feel your power starting with something very small.”

Nodding at him, I lifted the cat.

“Yes. I’ll give it a try.”

The words encouraging me to believe in my power also applied to unraveling the layered magic on Luedello. I still don’t fully understand what I can do, whether I can really succeed.

‘But now it’s what I have to do.’

Maybe Sethelus hoped I would achieve it myself rather than borrowing someone else’s power.

“Yes.”

I breathed quietly and smiled broadly. If magic worked as I thought, if what Sasha did was a similar spell to mine…

‘Change it.’

This place. Just like always, turn the library into a more comfortable place for Hwang Do-joo, who advises me like a teacher, like a grandfather.

Since I wasn’t proficient in magic to directly use my power on Luedello, I thought about it just in case, and I felt something flowing out of my body.

It wasn’t a sudden release, but something naturally flowing out, filling the surroundings.

“Ooh…!”

Following Hwang Do-joo’s voice,

“Nyaaang~”

The cat’s joyful voice was heard. When I opened my eyes, I saw a dollhouse on the windowsill where the sun was shining.

Inside the fairly large dollhouse, there were various things, from a fluffy bed to a sofa, a bathroom, a wardrobe, and spaces to relax, making it not an exaggeration to call it a real house.

“Did you prepare it for me?”

“Really…?”

“Not difficult, right?”

“Yes. It’s really… a convenient and amazing power.”

“That’s because your mental strength has to be strong. When you want to achieve something, you shouldn’t have other thoughts. Perhaps magic… might be a gift given to those who earnestly desire it.”

It was too easy for magic to come true. It was scarier than I thought.

“But don’t worry. Your power is equipped with several layers of safety measures, so nothing big will happen. More than that, it’s touching. The fact that you used magic for the first time to create a house for me…”

In the meantime, Hwang Do-joo settled into the dollhouse with small hops.

“Do you know how hard it was to sleep on hard books every time…”

With a cheeky grin, he jumped up and down on the bed. Although it was a dollhouse made with clumsy magic, Hwang Do-joo lay down comfortably.

“Thank you.”

“No, I’m always receiving help, so… Anyway, I’ll go before the kids wake up.”

“Sure sure. Go.”

I slightly bowed and shook hands with Hwang Do-joo.

“Come whenever you need me. I’ll help you if I can.”

After those words, I reached out the cat I had been holding.

“Then, take care of this one.”

“A cat…?”

“I have rabbits in my palace. There are also doves. What if the cat bites and kills them?”

“Well, still…”

“He’ll listen well. No, even if he doesn’t listen… Take good care of him.”

The current Sethelus probably wished for a life that was free and happy, unlike when he was a person. I extended the cat in my arms.

“Hehe… Have you given him a name?”

“Rus. From Sethelus to Rus. Please take good care of our Rus.”

“Sure. But I can’t prevent him from going outside.”
“Yes. Rus. Listen carefully here. Even if you go outside, you must come back here because this is your home. Be careful not to get hurt.”

Whether Rus liked my touch or not, he endlessly rubbed his head against my hand.

“I hope Rus never gets hurt at any moment. If everything goes according to my will, I wish a magic spell would be cast on Rus, preventing him from getting hurt under any circumstances.”

I earnestly hoped. If Sethelus, who wanted to live freely and comfortably, were to get hurt, it would shatter my heart. Fortunately, the magic, perhaps sensing my earnestness, flowed like a breeze and enveloped Rus’s body.

“Now you’re using it very freely.”

“I’m not sure if it’s okay to use it like this.”

“It’s common to cast protective spells on loved ones. The number of layers depends on the strength. Anyway, I’ll take a good rest here, so you should go back. The bed is very comfortable.”

Seemingly annoyed, Hwang Do-joo waved his hand. Smiling at his reaction, I stood up and looked at the two.

Whether he understood my words or not, Rus settled under Hwang Do-joo’s house, and Hwang Do-joo lay down on the bed. The sight of the two who had lived their lives with magic and now lay without magic looked truly comfortable.

Observing that, I went outside.

As usual, Ken was waiting outside the door.
