“Call me ‘Nuna.'”

There seemed to be no sign of alcoholism.

When Yura explored her memories, she definitely couldn’t find any evidence of injections. But what Yura was doing to me right now was undoubtedly an injection.

Until she entered the lodging, Yura, who was usually unresponsive, suddenly got up as soon as she lay down on the bed. She then demanded to be called ‘nuna’ and administered an injection.

While Sikar was watching with a bewildered face, Yura grabbed his cheeks with her hands, shaking them.

“Live a good life. Okay?”

“Let go of this.”

“Nope.”

Feeling that words wouldn’t work, Sikar grabbed Yura’s hands and laid her down on the bed.

Usually, Yura, who would have been surprised and regained her senses, now pinched Sikar’s cheeks as if she couldn’t see him at all.

“Listen well to what I say these days.”

After throwing that remark, she fell asleep as if she had fainted.

Sikar, with an expression of utter disbelief, touched the cheeks pinched by Yura.

What surprised him wasn’t Yura’s injection. Despite Yura administering the injection, he found himself feeling cute.

“Bold.”

Contrary to the words he spat out, Sikar covered the sleeping Yura with a smile.

Tonight, as well, he would hold her hand tightly to ensure she didn’t have any nightmares.

The next day, the rumor that Roen had shared a first kiss with the magician spread rapidly throughout the entire temple.

Jeremi, who was eating at the restaurant, couldn’t eat properly due to the temple guards who came to see Roen’s lover.

Roen unexpectedly became so famous for singing as a healer within the temple.

Due to the temple guards who came to see them, Jeremi couldn’t even tell if the food was going into her mouth or not.

But, more than anything, the reason the food wasn’t going down was because of the words they threw one by one as they passed.

“Poor guy, caught the eye of a demon named Roen.”

“May the blessing of Lepre protect Jeremi from Roen.”

“Roen, did you ruin a man’s life yesterday?”

And so on. Passing by and saying such things, Jeremi, with an awkward expression, was almost stabbing her face into the plate as she ate.

Just as she was determined to eat quietly and leave, a few temple guards who seemed friendly with Roen came over with their plates and greeted her.

“Hello, Jeremi! You’re as handsome as I heard!”

Jeremi, who boasted that she was a character who couldn’t fall behind anywhere, didn’t seem to have the skill to handle the temple guards’ boasting.

Even though he didn’t introduce her separately, Roen’s colleagues already knew Jeremi’s name. Considering they knew about the kiss, it wasn’t strange for them to know her name as well.

“Oh, hello.”

After the awkward and uncomfortable greetings, Jeremi put down her spoon, feeling the warm breeze carrying overheated conversations.
“Roen, as a celebration of the successful first kiss, you owe me a favor.”

As the colleague spoke with a chuckle, Roen responded with a grin, “Sure, fine.”

“Really?”

Roen handed a piece of bread from her own plate, saying, “Here, eat my bread.”

Jeremi wondered if giving a single piece of bread would fulfill the promise of owing a favor, but the surprised colleague asked, “Are you really giving this to me?”

“If you don’t want it, forget it.”

Only then did the colleague eagerly grab Roen’s bread.

“Oh, no! I’ll enjoy it. Roen, thank you!”

Because they were individuals who never yielded their belongings, giving away a piece of bread was a significant gesture.

The temple guards looked at Roen suspiciously, as if wondering if there was something wrong with her.

“Roen is offering her bread….”

“Roen, are you okay? Did you get shocked because you finally got the lover you dreamt of?”

Perhaps due to never going on a pilgrimage and spending all their time within the temple, the temple guards seemed like mischievous kids.

Finishing their meal, the temple guards blessed Roen and Jeremi’s future. Of course, Jeremi couldn’t discern whether it was a genuine blessing.

“We pray that you survive in Roen’s magic in the future.”

“Blessings to Jeremi’s thorny path of love.”

While Jeremi worried about how Roen would take it, she felt relieved seeing Roen brush it off with a smile as if taking it as a joke.

“By the way, Roen, didn’t you say you were going on a pilgrimage?”

“Yeah, I think you mentioned going on a pilgrimage by the time of the Harvest Festival.”

“Now that you have a lover, aren’t you skipping the pilgrimage?”

“Then yield it to me. I’ll go on your behalf.”

Roen’s complexion changed from the playful smile she had a moment ago. Placing her fist lightly on the table, she said, “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this pilgrimage?”

“Then what about Jeremi?”

At that moment, the nearby temple guard, seemingly sympathetic, nodded as if agreeing.

“Right. Going on a pilgrimage right after starting a relationship is like breaking up right after meeting.”

The temple guards were curious about how Roen would respond, but it was Jeremi who spoke up.

“I also plan to join the pilgrimage. It’s okay.”
