After Jin left.

Rute rose from his chair and sat on the edge of the bed where Ordel was lying.

Unlike himself, whose complexion was so dark that even Jin clicked her tongue, Ordel looked very peaceful.

While this was reassuring, he was also afraid that she might never wake up.

“I didn’t know I was such a coward.”

Why did he become such a coward when it came to Ordel’s matters?

“I must love you too much.”

Rute hesitated, but in the end withdrew his hand without even touching a single strand of Ordel’s hair.

Even though he knew it would be fine since Jin had touched her without hesitation, he worried about what would happen if something went wrong from his touch.

Because now he couldn’t live without Ordel.

Ordel didn’t need to accept his feelings.

Just knowing she existed in this world, that they were living and breathing together, was enough to give him peace.

So please, just wake up.

“…If I could heal you, would that have been better?”

Why couldn’t mages heal people?

Why was that the domain of divine power?

Why…?

“Wait a minute.”

Rute, who had been falling into self-loathing, blinked at a sudden thought.

He didn’t have divine power.

People whispered that he might have awakened as a Holy Sage of the Sun God, but that was all nonsense.

He had divine force that he had mastered on his own.

There was no law saying divine force couldn’t do the healing that divine power could do, right?

Moreover, his divine force was connected to the Sun God. The Sun God had said they were each other’s strongest support.

So couldn’t he heal Ordel, who was the Holy Maiden of the Sun God?

Why hadn’t he thought of this until now?

Rute’s eyes filled with hope.

Without any hesitation, he immediately grasped Ordel’s hand.

And slowly released his divine force.

Pure white divine force mixed with gold slowly passed through their joined hands to Ordel.

The power that had savagely torn apart ‘Evil’ was nothing but warm comfort to Ordel.

Ordel’s figure bathed in pure white light was truly mystical and beautiful.

Please, please let my power be able to heal Ordel.

He didn’t need anyone else.

If he could just heal Ordel, then his power would have value.

“Ordel.”

Rute released his power even stronger.

Still, there was no response from Ordel.

“Del.”

He tried calling her by a nickname he hadn’t been given permission to use.

The ring still on her left ring finger caught his eye particularly sharply today.

Rute bit his lips and buried his forehead against Ordel’s hand.

“…Cha Siwon.”

The name Jin had called several times, probably Ordel’s original name.

It was a difficult pronunciation, but there was no problem saying it.

He had already called it several times in his mind.

“You can take all the divine force I have, so please wake up.”

They said she would wake up on her own if he waited.

But Rute, who had already lived a painful life in the past, simply couldn’t wait.

Ordel was his one and only savior.

If something happened to her, he would gladly end his life with her.

“…Huh?”

How much time had passed like this?

Suddenly feeling brightness before his eyes, Rute quickly raised his head.

And his eyes widened.

“Del?”

Ordel’s entire body, filled with his divine force, was glowing.

It wasn’t simply because of his divine force.

Golden, blue, black.

The energy of the Three Sovereign Gods was surging throughout her body.

In that moment of confusion, Ordel’s appearance slowly changed.

Her soft pink hair turned black from the ends.

Her build also grew slightly, and firm muscles appeared on her previously thin body.

And her appearance.

Her expression, which had looked somewhat fierce even with closed eyes, became gentler. Her upturned eyes also lowered slightly, and her lips became a bit thinner.

Rute was deeply confused by the appearance that looked sincere yet somehow cheerful.

What on earth was this…?

“…Could this appearance be?”

Could this be how she looked when she lived as ‘Cha Siwon’ before dying?

Had her soul and body achieved complete stabilization, making her body follow the soul’s appearance?

“…Ordel’s true appearance.”

His confusion was only momentary.

As soon as he realized this was her true appearance, his heart began to race.

So this was what you looked like, the appearance I was always curious about.

His chest swelled with emotion at the sight that seemed to perfectly embody Ordel’s personality.

He had fallen in love once again.

He was so happy to learn something new about her that he hadn’t known.

“Ah.”

Then once again, light burst from Ordel’s entire body and her appearance changed again.

Her hair that had turned black lost its color as if it had never been that way, becoming petal-like pink again.

In contrast, her slightly larger build and nicely developed muscles remained the same.

Finally, her appearance.

Cha Siwon’s gentler and more cheerful appearance mixed with Ordel’s slightly sharp impression.

It was an impression that looked like both Cha Siwon and Ordel.

He had thought Cha Siwon’s appearance suited her well, but seeing this appearance changed his mind.

This was truly Ordel’s real face, one that completely revealed who she was.

“…”

Then Ordel’s eyes trembled slightly.

At the sight of her trying to wake up, Rute, who had been staring blankly at her changed appearance, held his breath.

Between her long eyelashes, Ordel’s pupils slowly appeared.

Her unchanged, luminous golden eyes captured Rute.

It was an indescribably beautiful and wondrous sight.

“…”

“…”

The two looked at each other wordlessly.

Emotions surged so intensely that they didn’t know what words to say.

So instead of words, tears came first.

Drop, drop.

At the clear tears flowing down his cheeks, Ordel’s eyes widened.

“…I’m fine, so why are you crying?”

“It took too long.”

Rute kissed the back of Ordel’s tightly gripped hand.

Her tear-soaked lips were warmer than usual, burning hot.

“I waited too long.”

“But I came earlier than scheduled.”

Ordel smiled and caressed Rute’s cheek.

Her eyes were full of joy as she looked at his thoroughly soaked cheek.

“Someone was searching for me too desperately.”

Ordel spread both arms wide.

Rute held his breath for a moment, then pulled Ordel into a tight embrace.

Her physique had changed a little, so the feeling of embracing her was different from before, but even this sensation was good.

It felt like he was truly embracing the real Ordel for the first time.

“I’m sorry for making you wait so long. In that sense, I have a gift for you.”

“You waking up is already a gift, what other gift could you give me.”

Rute mumbled with his forehead buried in Ordel’s shoulder.

Ordel burst into laughter and patted Rute’s back, which was too big for her two arms to fully embrace.

“You’ll regret it for life if you don’t accept it.”

Ordel broke free from his embrace and cupped Rute’s cheeks with both hands.

The moment their eyes met closely once again, Rute was swept by a strange sensation.

Ordel’s eyes that held him were so full of affection that his heart felt overwhelmed.

It was the first time he felt it so directly, so Rute’s face naturally turned red.

His heart began beating uncontrollably.

“Ordel…?”

“I haven’t said anything yet, but did you already notice? Your face is warm.”

“What…”

Ordel pulled him close.

Soft lips touched his wet cheek.

Rute’s eyes widened as if they might fall out.

“Or…”

“I like you.”

One sentence.

One sentence was enough to make his heart drop.

“I like you very much. There’s no man as special as you in my life.”

His breath burst out involuntarily.

His heart beat so violently he thought he might die like this.

It had been hell just moments ago, but suddenly he was in heaven.

“After I collapsed, I felt some regret. I should have said it sooner. My heart was already firm, so what was I so afraid of that I dragged it out? If I had said it earlier, we could have been together more.”

Ordel pulled him into a tight embrace again.

His hands were trembling so much that Rute couldn’t possibly embrace her back.

“Well, I was also cautious because this body was originally my friend’s body. But now that problem has been resolved. That’s why it took a little longer to wake up.”

Ah, I see.

The changed appearance. That was the reason.

“…You changed your appearance to be with me?”

“Do you not like it?”

“Not at all.”

Rute shook his head firmly.

Rather, he liked it. He liked it so much.

The fact that this appearance was solely for him made him even happier.

“…I’m happy.”

Only then could Rute embrace Ordel back.

He was even happier feeling Ordel’s heartbeat pounding through their touching chests.

“Don’t go anywhere now. Stay with me forever. I won’t let you go even if I die.”

Even at his obsession-filled voice, Ordel didn’t show disgust but smiled instead.

“I have no intention of letting you go either. When it comes to persistence, I don’t give up.”

“That’s welcome news.”

The two looked at each other.

The affection in each other’s eyes was so delightful.

As if finding their rightful place, their lips softly touched.

Their lips fit together perfectly as if they had been one from the beginning.

This moment when each other’s breath filled the other was incomparably happy.

He would never forget this first kiss until the day he died.
