Jin sat beside Ordel, gently arranging her hair and carefully tucking the blanket around her.

It was a careful touch, considering how she had grumbled to Lute earlier.

Lute also wouldn’t let anyone else touch Ordel except when the maids cleaned her body, but he said nothing to Jin.

He simply watched quietly as Jin tended to her.

“There’s nothing wrong with Ordel’s body. Well, I didn’t expect it to take this long either. But there’s a reason for it.”

Jin said while gently holding Ordel’s hand.

Since it was a reconstructed body, there probably weren’t any calluses at first.

But in such a short time, how much had she experienced for her palms and fingers to be full of calluses?

Just like the hands of Cha Siwon when he was a detective.

Of course, they were less pronounced, but the memory made her feel both sorry and a little glad.

“…What reason?”

Lute asked with blazing eyes.

Looking at those brilliantly shining silver-gray pupils, it seemed like he would grab the Sun God by the hair and bring Ordel back if it wasn’t a good enough reason.

“This body isn’t originally Ordel’s, right? So there’s a slight difference between soul and body, and they need to be completely merged. Only then can she live in this world without problems.”

This seemed like a reasonable explanation, as Lute’s intensity diminished considerably.

“It’s taking a bit longer than I thought, but the flow of time between the divine realm and human world is different, so it can’t be helped.”

She had already been planning to go raise hell with the Eternal God since Ordel wasn’t waking up.

When she threatened to quit being the Holy Maiden if he didn’t explain properly, he panicked and told her the truth.

“It’ll take at least a month.”

“…A month?”

“They say it could be faster depending on the situation, but even then, wouldn’t it take at least 20 days?”

At Jin’s words, Lute’s face scrunched up.

He clenched both fists tightly, looking ready to go grab the Three Sovereign Gods by their throats.

Honestly, with Lute having awakened divine power on his own, it didn’t seem impossible, and she kind of wanted to see that scene.

But since Ordel would have trouble coming before her soul stabilized, Jin calmed Lute down for now.

“If you want to live safely with Ordel in this world for the rest of your life, wait quietly.”

Now neither Jin nor Ordel could return to Earth.

Cha Siwon’s body was already dead, and Jin, though she hadn’t mentioned it, had also died to cross over to this world.

So this place was now their home, the world they would live in.

For that, stabilization and readjustment work was essential.

“So stop sitting there with that ghostly face and go clean yourself up. If Ordel sees your face when she wakes up, she’ll faint from shock.”

“Do I really look that bad?”

Lute frowned and asked at Jin’s words.

Was that even a question?

“Should I bring you a mirror?”

“…Never mind.”

Lute ran his hand over his face.

Since he didn’t know when Ordel would wake up, he shaved every morning and kept his hair neat, but apparently that wasn’t enough.

“Get your act together and do what you need to do. If you want Ordel to find you attractive.”

Jin clicked her tongue and carefully tucked Ordel’s hand back under the blanket before standing up.

She wanted to stay by her side like Lute, but there was work at the Temple of the Annihilation God and post-war cleanup to handle.

She planned to finish everything perfectly so Ordel wouldn’t have anything to worry about when she woke up.

“I’m leaving. Contact me immediately when Ordel wakes up.”

Jin glanced at Ordel once more before leaving the bedroom.

“No matter how I look at it, I don’t like this.”

Jin glared at the bedroom door carved with a golden tree.

This was none other than the Count’s bedroom that Lute used.

She didn’t like Ordel staying in this room of all places, but…

This room had the most comfortable and soft bed, so it couldn’t be helped.

Our Ordel must only use the finest things.

“Oh, you’re here?”

At the voice that reached her then, Jin turned her head.

The couple Trisha and Mikhail were waving at her.

“Were you also kicked out and standing here?”

Seeing Jin standing in front of the door, Trisha clicked her tongue and glared at the door.

“That son of mine is making such a fuss. We haven’t even seen Miss Ordel’s face yet.”

He thinks only he’s worried. Our hearts are burning up with anxiety too.

“Even though he knows his mother’s condition perfectly well, how can he be so rude? Really, I raised that boy wrong.”

At Trisha’s sigh, Mikhail smiled bitterly and patted her shoulder.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

Jin, who had been listening quietly, asked.

The two people she expected to be the most frantic hadn’t gone to the battlefield due to personal circumstances.

From what she heard, there was something wrong with Trisha’s body, so even Mikhail didn’t participate in the war.

The disgustingly good relationship between the two was famous after all.

“Well, it’s not a fatal illness. Now isn’t the time to talk about it, so I’ll tell you when our daughter-in-law wakes up.”

“Daughter-in-law?”

At Trisha’s words, Jin’s face immediately scrunched up.

She knew that Trisha, famous for her bad temper, was particularly fond of Ordel, but.

Daughter-in-law? Daughter-in-lawwww?

Who decided that!

“Our girl isn’t married yet, so please don’t say that. I have no intention of letting her marry quietly either.”

Jin glared with fierce eyes.

Trisha snorted.

“It’s a term of endearment. Whether she marries or not, whatever endearment we use is up to us. Miss Ordel gave permission too, so we’ll call her whatever we want.”

She had been calling her that without permission, but Jin, unaware of this fact, felt irritation surge.

“Don’t covet our Ordel carelessly. Anyway, now that the poison is gone, Lute Sieri will live well even without Ordel, right?”

“Ah, I told you. Whether she marries or not, I’m definitely going to call her daughter-in-law. As for marriage, that brat Lute will figure it out himself.”

Trisha picked at her ear with an indifferent expression.

Jin, who had been glaring at such Trisha, snorted.

“I just came out after touching sleeping Ordel’s hair and cheeks.”

“…What?”

Both Trisha, who had been acting smug, and Mikhail, who had just been smiling at Trisha without stopping her.

Their eyes widened at Jin’s words.

“Y-you went in and came out?”

“Yes. Lute Sieri doesn’t stop me. After all, I’m the friend Ordel treasures most in the world.”

Jin smiled brightly and proudly lifted her chin.

“Unlike you two.”

“…Hey! Lute! Come out here!”

Trisha raised her voice angrily.

But even in the midst of this, she couldn’t shout loudly for fear of disturbing Ordel.

Seeing this, Jin felt deflated.

After all, they all had the same feelings of worry for Ordel, so what was the point of bragging about who was closer here?

“Ordel will be fine.”

So Jin spoke with diminished momentum.

Trisha, who had been raging silently, and Mikhail, who had been sweating profusely while trying to calm her, looked at Jin.

“The Three Sovereign Gods are just taking a little time to perfectly heal Ordel’s body. Don’t worry and wait. It’s all for Ordel’s sake.”

“…That’s a relief then.”

Only then did Trisha calm down and let out a sigh of relief.

Though she was angry, her biggest concern was not being able to see Ordel at all.

Having the Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God assure her definitely put her at ease.

“If you’re not feeling well, well, shall I take a look at you?”

Jin asked casually.

Trisha burst into laughter at her prim and proper appearance.

She has a surprisingly cute side to her.

I can see why Ordel cherishes her so much.

“I’m fine. It’s not the kind of body that would get better just from that.”

“…If you’re in a lot of pain, Ordel will be sad. Ordel likes you both very much.”

At Jin’s heartfelt words, Trisha and Mikhail smiled gently.

Jin felt very unfamiliar with their gaze, as if they were looking at a grown niece.

Had there ever been an adult who looked at her with such eyes?

“Thank you for worrying about me. It’s not such a serious problem, so don’t worry.”

Trisha patted Jin’s shoulder gently.

“You’re the one who’s been busy with post-war cleanup lately, aren’t you? Take care of your health while you work. If something happens to you, Miss Ordel will be sad. Well then, we’ll be going.”

Trisha, who greeted her warmly as if they had never fought each other, left her seat.

Mikhail bowed gently and followed behind her.

The way he supported and held Trisha’s waist was full of affection.

It was the very image of loving parents that Jin had never experienced.

“Lute Sieri, you lucky bastard.”

Who would have thought I’d end up envying Lute Sieri.

Well, I’m not particularly starved for affection anymore.

Cha Siwon filled me with more than enough in my previous life.

“So hurry up and wake up, you fool.”

Jin glanced at the bedroom door one last time before leaving.

There were so many things she needed to take care of before Ordel woke up.
