“f*ck…where on earth did you spill it?”
Ronan grunted. He had been climbing the hill of Nimberton since the wee hours of the morning. This was because he lost the sphere in his pocket after the fight with Abel.
‘Anyway, I’m upset that I don’t know what it is.’
It was fortunate that I realized it the very next day. Although its identity was unknown, it was not an item that could be easily thrown away as the situation in which it was acquired was circumstantial.
I searched everywhere else, so this was the only place left. In the dim air of dawn, oak trees were swaying in the wind. He was approaching Cain’s tomb.
“Wheeeeet!”
“f*ck!”
A loud, unidentifiable sound rang out from somewhere. Ronan, startled, let out a curse.
“what is this sound?”
I almost fell backwards and fell. Ronan placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. The cries of unknown origin clearly came from in front of Cain’s tombstone. As he got closer, a familiar lump caught his eye.
A rough surface like shark scales. It was definitely something he had lost. Ronan picked it up and tilted his head.
“···Isn’t this a little big?”
****
It was that afternoon that Ronan visited Varen. Pileon Tower 13, where Varen resides, miraculously suffered no damage even during the war with Nebula Clazie. Ronan knocked a couple of times and pulled the door handle.
“hi. Varen.”
As soon as I opened the office door, a sweet smell wafted out. Ware Lion, who is 3 meters tall, was baking cookies today that were not appropriate for his size. Varen, who made eye contact with Ronan, blushed brightly.
“Oh, the hero who saved the world has arrived.”
“I told you not to call me that. “Why did I gain more weight?”
“Hehehe. Please call it happiness, not fat. Deok is also fine.”
Varen laughed. She had a lush mane that was flushed with plump cheeks. A small human was wearing a large sweater that could be used as a tent.
‘Damn it. ‘If anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m pregnant.’
Ronan giggled at the unsightly appearance. Now, Varen doesn’t wear a suit unless it’s a really important event. His angular, muscular body was noticeably plumper compared to two years ago.
His wear pig transformation progressed rapidly after Ronan and his friends entered their graduation semester. Varen said it was because he was happy with his marriage, but Ronan was secretly convinced that it was because he no longer had to worry about the stress caused by the viciousness of the special adventure club.
“What about your wife? Is he still a soldier?”
“Ah, Nemea has been discharged from the military this year and is now supervising crop cultivation at the estate. “After all, it is a managerial position, so it suits me well.”
Varen sat on the sofa holding a tray filled with refreshments. Pukki profit! The seat cushion that fell along the curve of my buttocks screamed for me to stop killing myself.
Varen married Major Nemea, Jaifa’s adjutant, about a year ago. Looking back, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Varen at the time was truly Phileon, or rather, the most stylish person in the system. His well-groomed mane was always shiny, and his going out clothes often took up a page in imperial fashion magazines.
Is that all? Varen, who made a remarkable contribution in the war by distributing special potions, was additionally granted half of the Bryn Hills Plain. It didn’t take long for him to increase the scale of his business and become one of the continent’s richest men.
I can’t believe that such a popular gentleman turned into this kind of pot-bellied man. She was a level too high compared to Nemea, who boasted unchanging beauty even after becoming a married woman. Ronan, who was staring at Varen’s belly, opened her mouth.
“Aren’t you going to berate your wife for being the victim of a fraudulent marriage?”
“Hehehe. In fact, he said he was more reliable than before and he liked it. Ronan Student… No, you are not a student anymore. Anyway, thanks to you, I formed a really good relationship.”
Varen laughed. It was truly displeasing for Ronan, but since there are different tastes in the world, she had nothing more to say. He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a sphere the size of his fist.
“I’m glad you’re happy. “Hey, if you have time, can you take a look at this?”
“hmm? what is that?”
“It’s something I had in my pocket when the fight with Abel ended. “It was not that serious, so I told the professor I would bring it, but I ended up forgetting…”
Ronan handed the sphere to Varen. It was something that should have been shown two years ago. Varen, who was examining the sphere, sighed.
“Hmm… I really can’t figure out what this is. I can’t really feel any mana, but it doesn’t seem to be a normal ore. “This is the first time I have seen such an amazing material since Sita’s eggshell.”
“Right? I also brought it because it reminded me of that time. “It looks just like an egg.”
Ronan hesitated. The unidentified sphere clearly had a similar impression to Sita’s egg. He chewed a bite of the cookie and continued speaking.
“Could it be a dream bird’s egg? “I don’t know why it was in my pocket.”
“Oh, it’s a dream… That’s an interesting claim. “If you don’t mind, can I do some research?”
Varen’s eyes began to sparkle when he heard that it was a dream. Marfez, who had been dozing off on his desk as always, opened his eyes.
-Phee?
The blue and fluffy feathers were still there. The dream bird running on the water was Varen’s companion for decades. It was impressive to see that, like its owner, it had gained weight and increased in size by about 1.5 times.
“As much as you want. Then I’ll just wait…”
Ronan stood up. Although it had only been a day since he quit smoking, his hands were shaking due to withdrawal symptoms.
‘I need to at least get some air.’
After all, being a good father was not easy. It was just as he was about to leave the office. Sigh. Suddenly the door opened and a familiar woman walked in.
“Ronan. “Were you here?”
“Instructor Butterfly Rose?”
“It’s nice to see you after a long time. How have you been?”
Ronan raised his eyebrows. Perhaps because I was shocked by Varen’s horribly broken body, the first thing that caught my eye was his body, which was better than before. It was clear what went in and what came out, and it couldn’t be hidden with a uniform.
‘It has to be like this. ‘People shouldn’t be ruined just because they’re happy.’
Ronan mentally gave a thumbs up and grinned. He was determined to never end up like Varen. A shadow appeared on Butterfly Rose’s face.
“I guess so.”
“yes?”
There was no time to say anything. Kwasik! Nabirose closed the gap in an instant and plunged the power into Ronan’s abdomen. His body bent forward due to the unexpected surprise.
“Gagging!”
“This shameful bastard. “Follow me.”
Next, a hand flew out and grabbed Ronan’s ear. The index finger and thumb that could pierce a coconut had the power to make a grown man struggle like a freshly caught salmon. Nabi Rose left the office just like that.
“Gyaaaaaaaa! “Please save me, Varen!”
Ronan screamed desperately, but Varen, who was concentrating on his research, could not hear his voice. It was only when Nabirose reached the rooftop of the 13th Tower that he let go of Ronan. A bustling campus stretched out under the afternoon sky.
“It’ll be okay around here. “It’s a nice day.”
“Damn it, what are you doing?!”
Ronan, who had barely escaped, shouted. The mark where his finger had pinched still remained clearly on my reddened earlobe. Nabirose said.
“I heard everything. “This is so rude.”

“What did you hear from whom?”
“I heard about Adeshan. She’s not even officially married yet, but she’s having a child. “If you have a say, make an excuse.”
Ronan gasped at the unexpected words. A cool spring breeze was blowing beyond the railing.
“what. How did you know that? “I definitely didn’t tell anyone.”
“He said it himself. He asked me what I should name him. So I said I would think about it and tell you again.”
Suddenly, Nabirose took out a cigarette pipe from her arms and put it to her mouth. She thought she had quit, but it seems she started smoking again. When I saw the smoke blowing away in the wind, my hands started shaking again.
“···It’s Southern Toruba Mountain.”
“okay. As expected, the leaves growing in my hometown were delicious. “Would you like to smoke once?”
“no. “I’m quitting smoking.”
Ronan clenched his fists. I wanted to take it away right away, but I couldn’t do it when I thought of Adeshan, who was still focusing on prenatal education.
“The mindset is useful. “It didn’t happen by mistake.”
Nabirose laughed and put out his cigarette. It seemed like she figured out the reason for quitting smoking. After a moment of silence, she spoke.
“Ronan. Adeshan is my daughter.”
“···yes?”
“It’s a metaphor. “You know that kid is special to me.”
Ronan shook his head. He could tell to anyone who watched the two of them. In fact, many of Phileon’s students knew Adeshan and Nabirose as blood relatives.
“And you too are special. “He’s a disgusting guy and doesn’t look like a child like Adeshan, but I hope your lover is happier than anyone else in the world.”
“Uh…thank you. Then why did I get hit? Because of speeding?”
Ronan asked. I still felt like my stomach was grumbling. Unlike the harsh introduction, the conversation itself was usually heartwarming.
“There’s that, but I felt bad for not telling him the good news, so I punched him. Even if no one else knew, it would have been great if you had told me. “I might be able to help you in some way.”
“Hmm. I definitely should have told the instructor. But wasn’t he single all this time? “It was definitely my first time showing my naked body to someone else… Wow!”
Nabirose’s fist flew in again and landed in Ronan’s stomach. Only after spitting it out did I realize that I would get hit, so I didn’t intentionally block or avoid it.
‘Damn, I showed it to you without even thinking about it back then.’
It hurt even more because I got hit in the same spot again. Nabirose wiped away her slightly red face.
“···Apart from that, there is something I can help you with. “After all, we are the same woman.”
“Ugh, that’s why… I was wrong.”
“done. More than anything else, I’m glad I didn’t treat having children as a mistake. “If that were the case, I really wouldn’t have left it alone.”
For a moment, Nabirose’s voice was low. An eerie murderous look flashed through the dark green eyes for a moment and then disappeared. Ronan, who had been gagging and holding on to the railing, looked up.
“It can’t be. “She’s my girl.”
“···As expected, you are a good guy. “Now that you’re done shaking off your nerves, get up and accept my gift.”
“A gift?”
Ronan stood up and tilted his head. Nabirose, who was looking around, stepped away from the railing and stood in the center of the rooftop. As if they wanted to avoid harming the campus.
“okay. Only you can accept this as a gift. “I have to go to class now, so I’ll just show it to you once.”
“yes? “What is that…”
Ronan frowned. I couldn’t understand what she meant when she said she was showing gifts rather than giving them. At that time, Nabirose slowly drew out the Great Sword.
“The key is to make the other person understand that you are a predator.”
Ronan was about to ask a question about the words he still couldn’t understand. Hahaha! Suddenly his vision was covered with darkness. Ronan’s eyes widened.
“This.”
It was a familiar discomfort. Every joint of her body was motionless, as if it had rusted.
I felt my five senses slowly withering away. As he caught his breath, he slowly closed and opened his eyes. Butterfly Rose had disappeared, and one of her giant poisonous snakes was coiled in her place.
“You are already strong enough, but the day may come when you will need it.”
said the snake. It was her auror, Mansa, who made Nabirose a sword saint. Her growth could be seen in the snake’s body, which was much larger than before.
“Instructor.”
It was an unexpected gift. Ronan was about to say something. Kwaaaaang! A loud noise rang out from somewhere and the surrounding area became bright.
“Damn it, what?!”
“hmm···!”
Ronan, startled, shrugged his shoulders. Before I knew it, I was in position as a butterfly with her sword drawn. Their eyes widened as the surroundings became completely bright and the rooftop was revealed.
“Sita?!”
“Pyaaaaa…Ppu?”
Sita, who had popped out of nowhere, was lying unconscious with her stomach turned over. Because she was so large, her four wings protruded beyond the railing. She was unconscious, but luckily she didn’t seem to be injured. Nabirose sighed.
“It seems like he came within range of everything while trying to come to you. sorry.”
“That’s okay because it’s sturdy. But this bastard…”
Ronan trailed off. Both of Sita’s cheeks were swollen like a squirrel holding her acorn. As I rummaged around in my mouth, I caught something. It was an unidentified statue with yellow paper stuck to it.
There was a lot of red writing written on the yellow paper, but I couldn’t make out what was written at all. Nabirose’s eyes narrowed.
“This is something from the New World.”
