939

 Tomorrow is the last day of the family trip.

That means tonight is also the last night they'll spend at the travel destination.

"Sigh..."

Although he couldn't deny the fatigue.

His heart was fulfilled as he was repaying his wives who had endured and devoted themselves for him until now.

Eun-ha decided to do his best for the last remaining person too.

'I'll probably have to do it again when we return tomorrow...'

Living each day to the fullest is life and happiness.

Eun-ha, who truly realized this in the <Dungeon of the Abyss>, dried his wet hair with a towel and came out of the bathroom.

On the bed, Lee Yu-jeong was waiting with her head peeking out from under the blanket.

"Are you done washing?"

"I'm done."

Lee Yu-jeong looking demurely at Eun-ha with a shy smile, as if spending their first night together.

Eun-ha felt a strangely unfamiliar feeling at her seemingly nervous appearance.

That emotion stimulated his manly heart.

Gulp.

Meanwhile, Lee Yu-jeong's gaze seemed filled with some kind of desire, so moist.

Her eyes were incredibly hot.

Eun-ha's gaze, meeting hers directly without avoiding it, was no different.

"..."

One person on the bed, one person in front of the bed.

No words were needed between the two who were looking at each other passionately as if yearning desperately.

As Eun-ha moved onto the bed, Lee Yu-jeong twisted her body to make room for him.

Soon, as their faces came close, they giggled as if just that alone made them happy.

They kiss tenderly.

"Should I turn off the light?"

"No, leave it on today."

Lee Yu-jeong shaking her head.

A mischievous smile was on her face.

Eun-ha decided to go along with her intention, which seemed to harbor some kind of scheme.

He reached out to lift the blanket she was tightly holding.

As expected, she obediently relaxed her grip and handed over control.

Like that, her naked body with hair spread out on the sheet...

"...Huh?"

"What is it?"

"Yu-jeong, you..."

Lee Yu-jeong was wearing a maid outfit.

Eun-ha lost his words at the unexpected sight and looked down at her blushing.

She spoke coquettishly.

"Well, I thought you might react less to me since you've been dealing with others..."

"..."

"So I prepared like this to look a bit different. How is it? Am I pretty?"

"...Do you need to ask that?"

"I guess not. Seeing how well you're reacting, you must like it? I'm glad."

Lee Yu-jeong wriggling seductively.

She takes out a katyusha headband hidden under the pillow and puts it on her head.

"Did you prepare shoes under the bed too?"

"..."

"You must have been very tired taking care of us on the trip? Our Yu-rin's dad, you worked hard as the head of the family."

"...It's only natural. Just having you all gives me so much strength."

"We give each other strength. That's what family is."

"Still, I'm always grateful to you all."

"I'm always grateful too. That's why... I wore this outfit. Gathering my courage."

"What do you mean?"

"You must have been very tired accommodating the three of them, right? So this time, I'll accommodate you."

"..."

"I'll serve you."

While saying words she thought were embarrassing even to herself.

Lee Yu-jeong, with a reddened face, spreads her arms towards Eun-ha.

Her arms wrap around his neck, pulling him into her embrace.

"...Yu-jeong, there's no one but you."

"Right?"

Eun-ha, embraced by Lee Yu-jeong, quietly enjoyed her warmth and scent.

It felt like he was being comforted and healed.

He wished time would flow like this.

At that moment, she playfully asked from above his head.

"So, Eun-ha."

"Yes."

"Do you like me from before the regression? Or do you like me now?"

"..."

"Which do you like more?"

Eun-ha, with his face buried in Lee Yu-jeong's embrace, was at a loss.

He gently raised his head and looked at her expression.

She was smiling a smile that seemed like it could corrupt people.

While licking her lips with her tongue.

"Which version of me do you like more?"

"Please have mercy..."

Lee Yu-jeong had become subtly mischievous since recalling the time before the regression.

* * *

Even while Eun-ha's family was on their trip, Ha Baek-yeon's Fairy lessons continued.

As soon as she finished high school, she had to go to the Blue House for lessons.

By the time she returned home, it was already late at night.

"It's already this time..."

It was close to midnight.

The day really passes by quickly.

In a few hours when the date changes, she'll have to go to high school again.

Then Blue House, home, high school, Blue House, home...

Ha Baek-yeon's daily life could be said to be a repetition of high school classes and Fairy lessons.

There was no way she could rest comfortably when she had to digest such an intense schedule every day.

Moreover, there was even homework...

"I don't want to do homework..."

It feels like she's drying up day by day.

Ha Baek-yeon, who had finished bathing and flopped onto the bed, thrashed her body around wildly.

She punched her pillow repeatedly or kicked the mattress with her feet.

'I need a pick-me-up...'

Previously, she used to relax by enjoying snacks with Pandora Clan members or playing with Eun-ha's children using her spare time.

But with them going on a trip, she couldn't recharge her mental energy.

Ha Baek-yeon, who had lost her daily source of comfort, could only suffer inwardly.

'They must be having fun playing, right?'

She was just envious of the people who went on the trip.

Ha Baek-yeon, flipping over to look up at the ceiling, heaved a deep sigh.

Even while knowing they weren't at fault, she felt spiteful and resentful.

Especially.

"This oppa doesn't even contact me."

Noh Eun-ha, she resented him the most.

While other people occasionally sent messages to let her know how they were doing.

He hadn't sent even one text message until now.

Was it because he didn't need to contact her since others were relaying news on his behalf?

Or was he having so much fun that he didn't have time to contact her?

Either way, it felt like she wasn't considered important to him.

It felt like she was being ignored.

'So this is how it is? When he said he decided to change the future, taking all risks because of me...'

While knowing rationally that Eun-ha didn't need to contact her individually.

Ha Baek-yeon, who had become emotional due to accumulated stress, just blamed him unfairly.

She was upset.

She pouted her lips.

"Hmph, I don't know oppa from now on either. I'm going to ignore oppa."

She wanted to see Noh Eun-ha flustered and anxious about her mood.

Ha Baek-yeon's mood improved just imagining it.

It was then that the tablet she had placed nearby to do homework vibrated.

[★Eun-ha Oppa★]

"..."

A video call was coming from Noh Eun-ha.

Ha Baek-yeon was startled to see his name filling the screen.

Soon she came to her senses.

"Hmph! I guess you finally have time now? But I don't have time so I won't answer!"

Her show of pride only lasted for a very brief moment.

Ha Baek-yeon, fixing her expression, let out a groan.

"...I didn't dry my hair properly. I didn't put on makeup because I was going to sleep..."

Ha Baek-yeon, getting up from the bed, hurriedly stood in front of the mirror.

She checked her hair condition, lightly applied tint to her lips, and quickly returned to the bed.

All that process happened surprisingly instantaneously.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

She clears her throat just in case.

Then she answered Eun-ha's call.

[Ah, it connected. I thought you might be sleeping, but I guess you weren't asleep yet.]

"...I was about to sleep. What is it?"

With a sulky face.

Ha Baek-yeon looking at Eun-ha in the screen while subtly showing she was upset.

She intended to throw a tantrum within the range that wouldn't upset his mood.

She didn't want to appear childish by any chance.

But her mood completely melted at his next words.

[I called because I wanted to see your face. Have you been well? What were you doing?]

"Just... Doing homework."

It's not like Eun-ha could know anyway.

Ha Baek-yeon subtly told a lie.

[School, Fairy lessons... You must be having a hard time, Baek-yeon.]

"It's nothing. It's what I prepared for. You must be having a harder time than me, oppa."

[Yes, thank you for thinking of me. We're planning to leave tomorrow, is there anything you want me to buy from the duty-free shop?]

"Hmm... Anything is fine for me. Just... Have fun and come back."

Will this make me look more mature?

Ha Baek-yeon unknowingly mixed in aegyo with a slightly higher pitch.

* * *

It's the day when all the clan members who went on vacation are returning.

Iriya, who had been covering their work in their absence, received thank you calls from them.

[Hello? Riya unnie, we're at the airport now. We'll probably arrive at the hall around evening.]

"Yes, Seo-na devotee. Did you enjoy your trip? I'll be waiting for you to return safely."

[Yes, let's go together next time, unnie.]

Jin Seo-na's chatter could be heard over the phone, along with the sound of other people talking cheerfully.

It seemed like their fatigue from work had been completely relieved with this opportunity.

Iriya, who had stayed behind to guard the hall, was satisfied that they seemed to have enjoyed their vacation sufficiently.

Above all, she was relieved that Jin Seo-na's voice sounded brighter.

'She seemed to be in a bad mood lately, so I'm glad she seems to have changed her mood.'

There was a reason she could think of.

It was because clan members had been announcing news of dating and marriage one after another since conquering the <Dungeon of the Abyss>.

It would have been understandable if she felt complex emotions seeing her peers bearing the fruits of love and being happy.

"Seo-na devotee."

[What? Do you need something?]

"I don't particularly need anything."

People who had maintained connections with Jin Seo-na for as little as a few years to over 20 years couldn't have not noticed her mood.

They implicitly considered her feelings.

Especially in the case of Cha Eun-woo and Mok Min-ho, they even refrained from displays of affection in front of her.

However, no matter how much they considered her, it was fundamentally an issue that depended on her heart.

All they could do was wait for her to gather her thoughts and find new meaning in life.

"When you come back, let's drink together with just the singles, including me."

[Huh? Kick, that's right. Then I should buy expensive alcohol from the duty-free shop!]

At Iriya's sudden words.

Jin Seo-na burst into laughter and then answered with aegyo.

Iriya smiled and then hung up the phone.

"Then shall I rest for a bit too?"

With the clan executives going on vacation, her individual workload had increased.

However, looking at the overall picture, the workload had decreased.

This was thanks to temporarily reducing clan functions as it was impossible to completely cover their absence.

Thanks to that, Iriya, who had excellent work processing ability, was able to handle her allocated tasks and take breaks.

She decided to enjoy her own time until the vacationers returned.

While managing the Eun-ha Religion.

"Today seems perfect to do the work I've been putting off."

The Eun-ha Religion located in the basement of the clan hall.

Iriya, who visited the empty religious order, sat down and got comfortable.

Then she took out a book with a thick cover and placed it on her lap.

She opened the book.

'As the sect is growing, I need to solidify the doctrine.'

It had been like that before, but.

As Noh Eun-ha conquered the black dungeon, the trend of people knocking on the door of the Eun-ha Religion was increasing frighteningly.

Therefore, Iriya, who managed the religious order, felt the need to organize the doctrine to strengthen the devotees' faith.

"Lord, I will spread your greatness widely to the world."

The book Iriya opened contained new doctrines to be put forward.

It corresponded to the original of the Eun-ha Religion Bible that would be created in the future.

...In reality, it was no different from a book of delusions with her desires latent in it.

She wrote down sentences that came to mind without thinking.

The world was like chaos. We desperately wished for a savior who would bring order to that chaos.

Then, as the Crimson God descended, he subdued the chaos and became order. That day became the first day, Monday.

On the second day, the Crimson God welcomed the Angel of Reign as his companion. Thus Tuesday was born.

On the third day, the Crimson God welcomed the Angel of Knowledge as his companion. Thus Wednesday was born.

On the fourth day, the Crimson God welcomed the Angel of Harmony as his companion. Thus Thursday was born.

On the fifth day, the Crimson God welcomed the Angel of Protection as his companion. Thus Friday was born.

On the sixth day, the Crimson God fell in love with Saint Iriya. Thus love was born in the world, and joyful Saturday was born. ♥♥♥

On the seventh day, the Crimson God rested comfortably. Thus Sunday was born.

And so the world became peaceful...

Iriya's mouth opened wide as she wrote down her delusion starting with 'On the sixth day'.

Just imagining herself and Eun-ha sleeping together made her body twist.

Soon, as she fidgeted restlessly, she suddenly thought of something and tilted her head.

'But I wonder if the Lord... won't take any more angels after me?'

Considering Noh Eun-ha's behavior, she couldn't help but feel doubtful, unfortunately.

There was no guarantee anywhere that he wouldn't take more wives in the future.

'As long as we don't know how many angels there will be, I can't jump to conclusions. Maybe I should give up on connecting the Lord and the birth of days...'

As Iriya was seriously considering whether to cross out the sentences she had written below, at that moment.

────!!

Suddenly, the book of delusions emitted light.

Without any warning, a pure white light shot up like a pillar.

'What is this...!?'

Startled by the sudden situation, Iriya hurriedly distanced herself.

The book of delusions, escaping from her hands and floating in the air, spewed out vast amounts of mana.

* * *

Coincidentally, Eun-ha's family and the vacationers arrived at the clan hall at the same time.

They were happily chatting, using their trip as a topic.

As they were about to enter the hall like that.

────!!

Out of nowhere, a pure white light shot up like a pillar from the clan hall.

People who witnessed this phenomenon couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"...<Miracle >?"

The energy that felt chilling and the phenomenon of whitening the world as if encroaching on it was similar to when activating the gift of <Miracle >.

Eun-ha couldn't help but associate the scene unfolding before his eyes with <Miracle >.

Other people also reached similar conclusions.

'Why on earth...'

 If it was really <Miracle > being activated, it could only be Iriya.

Having made this judgment, Eun-ha and the others headed towards where the energy was felt.

The energy was leading to the Eun-ha Religion.

At this point, they changed their speculation to certainty.

She must have activated her gift.

"Iriya!"

If so, for what reason did Iriya activate her gift?

Did something urgent happen that required her to borrow the power of the gift?

People had to assume the worst-case scenario.

Those who burst into the religious order by flinging open the door first looked for Iriya.

"L-Lord..."

"..."

Fortunately, Iriya was safe.

Eun-ha was able to find Iriya, who looked visibly flustered.

She moved her lips as if about to cry, with a face that seemed not to understand what was happening.

Behind her, on the podium, stood one person.

'...A man?'

Eun-ha immediately shielded Iriya behind his back and warily watched the person emerging from the diminishing beam of light.

Other people also gathered around him and drew out their devices.

It seemed the culprit who activated <Miracle > was not her, but the person standing in front of them.

"Ah..."

Eventually, a man with impressive brown hair opened his eyes.

The man blankly looked at Eun-ha and the people beside him.

Then he smiled.

"...It seems I didn't fail. I'm alive."

"..."

"Seeing everyone looking so young feels strange. I miss it..."

The man speaking in a friendly manner without showing any hostility.

Eun-ha and the clan members couldn't help but feel bewildered by the man's attitude.

On the other hand, the man's appearance, atmosphere, and expression reminded them of someone.

Immediately after, Eun-ha instinctively realized.

"No way..."

Eun-ha's voice trembled.

He withdrew the sword he had pointed at the man and took a step forward.

"You... Could you be Yu-seong?"

Even while knowing it was impossible.

Eun-ha asked as if demanding confirmation.

Then the man chuckled and answered.

His face, looking as if he had succeeded in playing a prank, was exactly like Eun-ha's.

"Yes, Father! I came from the future!"
