Chapter 7 (2/2)

Concern was mixed in the sly voice. Jaeha’s feelings became strange.

‘I’m still not the type to say that I don’t know after spending one night.’

In the meantime, many men have bullied or sexually harassed her, and since the director tried to commit sexual assault some time ago, her perception of men was close to the worst. However, regardless of gender, she did not dislike anyone with a sense of responsibility.

“…It’s okay.”

“I don’t think so? Roll up the blanket.”

At those words, Jaeha’s eyes went up.

As if she had turned into a grumpy cat, she clenched the blanket tightly, like grabbing the rope that came down from the sky.

“Pervert, pervert!”

“I can’t say that I have no selfishness at all, but I was 90% or more worried about you. Healing magic usually only works when it touches the wounded area.”

No selfishness at all?

…Healing magic?

Jaeha didn’t know what to point out at the man’s words full of terrifying content.

“No, is it okay to just say that there is selfishness in a situation that is not enough to reassure the other person? And, what is healing magic! Do you think this is another world? Do you want to be a wizard?”

The man stared intently at Jaeha, who was huffing. His golden eyes were as beautiful as jewels. In her eyes, there was no shaking or tension typical of a novice scammer. Rather, she felt a calm sense of oppression.

‘Anyway, he’s just a high-level con artist with a good atmosphere. Those eyes must have been lenses.’

She promised that she would never be deceived and caught the man’s gaze.

Eventually, the man’s lips slowly opened.

“Hmm, are you from a world where magic doesn’t exist? It’s been a while since I’ve had to prove my existence. It’s pretty refreshing, too. Well, I was careful not to lie to any extent, so I told the truth as much as possible.”

The man responded and said ‘cancel’ and flicked his finger. At that moment, Jaeha looked around at the man with a tense gaze.

Nothing had changed. However, except for one…

“Now, you know that your language and mine are different.”

The man said something, though she couldn’t understand him at all. It was a foreign language she had ever heard.

‘Not English, Japanese, or Chinese. One of the countries in Europe…?’

Hisran did not feel bad at all as he watched Jaeha staring at him with a fierce gaze that seemed to eat him. If it were him, he would have felt a little offended even if the other person was a woman. Did they say that when people are satiated, they become more generous?

His mood and condition were quite good, perhaps because last night, holding the woman in front of him had satisfied his desires.

“France? Germany? Or, the Netherlands?”

Thinking that the pronunciation of the foreign language that came out of the woman’s mouth was quite cute, he used his interpreting magic again.

“It was thanks to the interpreting magic that you and I were able to communicate without any problems. Would you believe in magic now?”

“Li, lie! Are you a foreigner who can speak Korean? What country are you from? From the outside, it looks European.”

“Is this not enough? Then…:

The man, who seemed to have thought for a moment, swung his hand lightly like a conductor. Then, clothes began to be put on the strong naked body of a man who looked like a statue from the Greco-Roman period.

Wearing a gold-edged red robe and monocle, he continued, sparking a small spark in his left hand.

“I haven’t officially introduced myself. My name is Hisran Ephesion. One of only five Archmages on the Latio Continent.”

Hearing that, Jaeha blinked her eyes with a puzzled face.

…Did they say that clothes are wings? The words that sounded like the flamboyant rhetoric of a con artist when he was naked sounded quite credible when he wore the robe and monocle that she would only see in a novel.

‘More than anything else, it’s difficult to spread clothes automatically or create sparks on the palm of your hand in the realm of deception and magic…’

So, did she not drown in the Han River, but fell into a different world called the Latio Continent…? Jaeha didn’t even know that a passage connecting to the other world existed at the bottom of the Han River.

‘If this fact becomes known, half of Seoul’s population will plunge into the Han River.’

She often dreamed of falling into another world, struggling with the painful reality.

It was only when she was prepared to die that her imagination turned into a reality that various emotions flooded her like a tidal wave.
