[Chapter 223]

[Miracle (4)]

Of course, the wide-brimmed pointed hats.

The witches who entered Korea had noticeable appearances.

People passing by on the street turned their heads to look at them at least once.

"So what are the investigation results?"

"It's certain, it's her."

The witches themselves didn't care about people's gazes.

Four witches walked the streets and discussed the information they had obtained over the past few days.

Their conversation in French didn't reach people's ears.

"She looks almost exactly like unnie. At first, I couldn't recognize her because her atmosphere had changed a lot, but looking closely, traces of her appearance from that time remain."

"...I see."

All information pointed to the person they had been searching for.

The witches now headed to Seoul to see her directly.

Flying on broomsticks, the witches who headed to Seoul wandered around the city.

"Found her."

"""...."""

And they finally found her.

They set eyes on the person they had been searching for from a distance.

Long blonde hair and blue eyes.

A black pointed hat and black dress.

Precise Memory.

Unlike the witches whose growth stopped at girlhood, she had an adult appearance.

"It's that child."

"It seems she settled in a country so far away after running away from us."

The witches confirmed her existence.

They stopped their search magic.

Then they put their heads together and discussed.

"We can't let her escape this time. We must definitely eliminate that child."

"I agree. For that, you need to help."

The blonde witch said.

Three witches responded.

Then they waited for night to fall and entered a red dungeon, avoiding people's eyes.

"The world's will should interfere less here."

The blonde witch opened a subspace.

Then she reached into the subspace and pulled out a spear larger than her height.

The three witches smiled looking at her holding the spear.

"Please. You kill that child."

"I'll ask like this too."

"I'll go ahead, unnie." "...Okay, thank you."

As if exchanging farewells.

The witches spoke one by one.

The blonde witch nodded hearing their words.

Eventually, she stabbed them with the spear in her hand, killing them.

"I've received your powers well. I will definitely kill that child."

The power the witches had seeps into the spear intact.

The blonde witch's height grows rapidly and she takes on an adult appearance.

"Now it's just you and me left."

Long blonde hair, blue eyes.

A black pointed hat and black dress.

The witch muttered desolately.

Lee Yu-jeong became able to see.

The news spread to Luminous Group too, surprising them.

"Yu-jeong! My daughter!! Let me see! Let me, let me see!"

"...It's true. Really, Yu-jeong is looking at me..."

Luminous Group Chairman Lee Jeong-in.

And Lee Yu-cheon, who was establishing his position as successor under Lee Jeong-in.

The two received a call from Lee Yu-jeong and stopped what they were doing to rush to the clan headquarters.

Then they examined Lee Yu-jeong's condition and burst into tears on the spot.

"My, my... How can these people cry over this? It's a happy occasion, you should smile brightly. Yu-jeong, it's Mom. Can you recognize Mom's face now?" "Yes, Mom. You're much prettier than I thought."

Lee Yu-jeong's mother, who arrived late, clicked her tongue at them.

On the other hand, she also shed a few tears confirming that Lee Yu-jeong could see.

That day, they cried and laughed, blessing Lee Yu-jeong.

As a side note, Lee Yu-jeong's father held Eun-ha's hand tightly that day and shed tears.

"Son-in-law, no, Eun-ha."

"Yes, Father. Please speak."

"Really, really... thank you." "..."

"I must have been wrong in my judgment. When I entrusted Yu-jeong to you, I wasn't at ease... but it seems I entrusted Yu-jeong to you well." "Why are you bringing up old things and saying that? Maybe if I were in your position, I would have distrusted someone like me too, so what."

"No, I was wrong. I'm really glad you're Yu-jeong's match, Eun-ha."

Lee Jeong-in bowed to Eun-ha.

He apologized, reflecting on himself for not thinking favorably of him in the past.

Lee Yu-cheon was the same.

He also expressed gratitude whenever he got the chance.

"I'm telling you not to do this, really?"

It was just awkward for Eun-ha.

Yet a smile didn't leave his lips.

Lee Yu-jeong regained her sight.

That fact alone made him feel good.

"Ma, ma! Ma! Ma! Mama..."

"Yes, Yu-rin. It's Mom."

Meanwhile, Lee Yu-jeong fulfilled her wish.

She who could now see was satisfied looking at her daughter Noh Yu-rin.

Strangely, Noh Yu-rin seemed to notice her change too.

Whenever Noh Yu-rin was in her arms, she kept tapping around her eyes.

Each time, Lee Yu-jeong was extremely happy that she could make eye contact with Noh Yu-rin.

"Eun-ha, I'm thinking of taking Yu-rin out sightseeing with oppa, is that okay?"

"You don't need my permission. Just be careful and don't come back too late."

Now Lee Yu-jeong's activities became vigorous.

Everything in the world felt amazing to her.

As a result, she would often go sightseeing with help from acquaintances whenever she had time.

Eun-ha welcomed Lee Yu-jeong who seemed to be getting brighter in personality.

As she became able to see, he sometimes recalled Lee Yu-jeong from before regression.

I'm really glad.

Now I have no regrets.

He shattered Baek Seo-jin's grand plan and raised the Fairy's authority.

The only worry left for Eun-ha, who achieved his goal, was Lee Yu-jeong's blindness.

Now that was resolved too.

He had no regrets left, having achieved everything he wanted.

"Really, I'm glad."

He didn't know how many times he had said those words.

Eun-ha watched Lee Yu-jeong going outside through the window.

At that moment, she suddenly stopped walking.

She turned around.

Their eyes met.

She smiled brightly and waved her hand, moving her lips.

'I love you.'

Although no sound was heard.

Eun-ha read what she was trying to say and burst into laughter.

"I'm really thankful you're here."

Eun-ha saw Lee Yu-jeong off with his eyes.

Watching her figure recede, he could grasp a new purpose.

I should become even happier from now on.

He was greedy.

He wasn't satisfied with just this level.

He will become happier, happier, and happier.

Eun-ha resolved.

"Wait, come to think of it, I feel like it was around this time."

Then Eun-ha paused.

One more.

There was still a future he couldn't change.

He had forgotten to think about it, being immersed in happiness recently.

"I think <Witch of Time> suddenly disappeared around this time... Could that incident have been related to Baek Seo-jin too?"

Precise Memory's disappearance.

Eun-ha fell into thought.

"Just in case, I should ask Twenty-five to secretly attach someone to her."

Has the future changed?

Or has it not changed yet?

Eun-ha couldn't be sure.

You never know.

He needed to check whether her disappearance before regression was due to Baek Seo-jin or not.

And a few days after that─

"─What? People in strange attire entered the country by ship today?"

Eun-ha received a contact from Twenty-five.

It was a report that four women with unusual appearances had entered the country.

It was just information Twenty-five shared out of interest.

But somehow Eun-ha couldn't ignore the information he conveyed.

"Attach people to those witches too. They might be players pretending not to be while passing inspection, and they might even be terrorists."

[I already attached one person because their attire was so unusual.]

Seeing.

Until she opened her eyes, Lee Yu-jeong didn't understand the exact meaning of it.

Also, beautiful.

Pretty.

She didn't know the meaning of those words well.

"The world was this pretty."

Now she could finally understand.

Lee Yu-jeong, who regained her sight, realized how amazing and wonderful it is to open her eyes and see something.

So sunlight shining through leaves has this color.

It's dazzling, but pretty.

Everything was amazing and beautiful.

To her who had understood the world in lines until now, a world full of colors was just marvelous.

What others took for granted felt special to her.

It felt like she could sit quietly on a bench and look around for hours.

In fact, she often spent time like that after gaining sight.

"Don't look up too much. Your eyes might get bad doing that." "Ah, oppa. Are you done with work?" "Sorry, something suddenly came up in the middle so I made you wait. Were you bored sitting still and waiting?" "No, I wasn't bored at all. It's good just staying still."

At that time, Lee Yu-cheon approached.

He reached out his hand and gently covered her field of vision.

Lee Yu-jeong smiled, grateful for his consideration.

So this is what oppa looked like.

Meanwhile, as she became able to see the world, she developed one hobby.

It was staring at people she knew and examining their faces in detail.

Lee Yu-jeong looked at Lee Yu-cheon quietly.

Lee Yu-cheon smiled slightly.

"I'm handsome, right?"

"Yes, you seem really handsome." "More than Eun-ha?"

"Hmm..."

Lee Yu-cheon asked playfully.

Lee Yu-jeong pretended to ponder.

She deliberately dragged out time, making Lee Yu-cheon anxious for nothing.

Then she answered as if it was obvious.

"My husband is more handsome."

"Alright, you Eun-ha lover." "Are you upset?" "I'm not upset. I'm not." "You are upset?"

"Okay, I'm upset. Eun-ha's not even here, would it hurt to praise me a little?"

"You're both equally handsome. Eun-ha and oppa just have different charms."

Lee Yu-jeong giggled.

Lee Yu-cheon softened his expression.

He liked seeing his little sister laughing mischievously as if she succeeded in her prank.

Soon he sat down beside her.

"It's good to see you changed like this. Seems like you met Eun-ha well." "Have I changed a lot?" "Can't you feel it yourself?"

"Hmm... Is that so?" "Yes. The Yu-jeong I remember tended to be very cautious not to cause trouble for others. You didn't stick to your own opinions well and simply followed what others told you to do."

"...I was spineless, huh." "It's not like that. We made you that way, Yu-jeong. So you wouldn't get hurt." "..."

"But thinking about it now, we shouldn't have confined you at home. We should have let you have various experiences, see the world."

Lee Yu-cheon muttered as if self-deprecating.

He poked Noh Yu-rin's cheek, who was sleeping in Lee Yu-jeong's arms.

Noh Yu-rin stirred.

A smile bloomed on his face.

"So I'm glad you met Eun-ha. After meeting Eun-ha, you became more emotional and could mingle with good people. Now you even play pranks on me like this. I'm really grateful to Eun-ha for making you like that. I'm grateful to you too."

Lee Yu-cheon revealed his true feelings.

Until now, Lee Yu-jeong was someone who weighed on the minds of Luminous Group people.

She was a sore spot for her parents.

But now she had grown into someone who didn't need their worry.

She even became a mother of a child.

Lee Yu-cheon felt grateful to Noh Eun-ha who changed Lee Yu-jeong, and also grateful to his little sister who lived hard until this moment.

"It's not just because of Eun-ha."

At that time, Lee Yu-jeong suddenly spoke.

She held Lee Yu-cheon's hand.

"It's because oppa, Father, and Mother were there too that I could change like this. So I should be grateful. Thank you so much for loving me."

"Yu-jeong..."

Just as Lee Yu-cheon revealed his true feelings.

Lee Yu-jeong also confessed her true feelings.

There wasn't an ounce of lie.

The reason she could be this happy wasn't just because of Noh Eun-ha.

There were many people around her.

It was because they were there that she could be happy.

"I love you all so much."

"Sob..."

Lee Yu-jeong said as if acting cute.

In the end, Lee Yu-cheon couldn't show dignity in front of his little sister and ended up crying.

Lee Yu-jeong soothed her crybaby oppa and hugged him tightly.

After finishing her outing with Lee Yu-cheon.

Lee Yu-jeong returned to the clan headquarters.

"I wonder if Eun-ha is still working?"

Did he eat dinner?

Lee Yu-jeong was curious about Eun-ha's recent situation.

She decided to go meet Eun-ha.

"Yu-rin, let's go meet Dad." "Ow!"

Lee Yu-jeong headed to the office.

Noh Eun-ha was sleeping on the bed.

Lee Yu-jeong walked quietly to avoid making noise.

So this is what Eun-ha looks like.

Although she saw him several times a day.

Lee Yu-jeong found it very amazing to see her husband.

Then she took off her shoes.

She quietly got on the bed.

...It's good.

The person she wanted to see most.

Lee Yu-jeong appreciated Noh Eun-ha.

Not stopping at just looking, she carefully reached out her hand.

She touches his brown hair.

She slowly moves her hand down, stroking his face.

So this is Eun-ha.

She had imagined it before.

If she ever got to see Eun-ha, she would surely fall in love at first sight.

Lee Yu-jeong's premonition became reality.

She fell in love with Noh Eun-ha.

She fell in love at first sight when she opened her eyes.

She felt indescribable happiness at the fact that this person was her man.

Lee Yu-jeong just looked at Noh Eun-ha's face like that.

It was then.

""...."""

Noh Eun-ha opened his eyes.

He blinks silently.

He seemed flustered to see her looking at him when he opened his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lee Yu-jeong was also startled and just blinked.

Soon her face softened.

A gentle smile spread.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" "I felt someone touching me, so it was you, Yu-jeong."

Eun-ha chuckled.

He hugged her.

Lee Yu-jeong didn't resist his touch and quietly nestled in his arms.

The two just looked at each other like that, communicating their emotions.

"No, the baby is here." "Yu-rin is here too. Then I'll put Yu-rin on that bed over there." "Waaah!!"

Noh Yu-rin cries.

In the end, they burst into laughter as if they had no choice.

They decided to just stay like that.

<Witch of Time> Precise Memory.

To her, the world was colorless.

Having lived for hundreds of years, she didn't feel emotions for most things.

"I was planning to stay in this country for just a few years, but over 10 years have passed before I knew it. Time really flies."

But at some point, she started feeling emotions.

The emotion called happiness.

It was just amazing even to herself.

Is it okay to stay here like this?

At first, she decided to stay in this country due to someone's need.

She thought she would stay for just a short while.

But somehow over 10 years passed, and she grew attached to this country.

"To think there would come a day when I'd find children cute..."

Precise Memory could hardly believe her own change.

She never thought she would feel affection for Noh Eun-ha's child.

And it wasn't just Noh Eun-ha's child.

She was feeling affection for Im Baek-yeon too.

Is it okay to be this happy?

So she sometimes felt scared.

What if this happiness suddenly ends?

Or what if she alone survives again and has to remember them as memories?

She was afraid. It was on one such day.

"It's been a while. Have you been well?" "..."

On the day she was going to educate Im Baek-yeon.

Precise Memory flinched seeing the witch who appeared before her eyes.

A witch with an appearance similar to hers.

She could immediately recognize who that witch was.

"Unnie, that appearance..."

"I've come to kill you."

The witch didn't answer her.

Instead, she stated her purpose.

Precise Memory closed her mouth.

Then she answered as if resigned.

"I see."

That was her answer.

She decided to give up her happiness.
