720.

Chloe stood in front of the mirror in the room.

She stared intently at her own face reflected in the mirror.

She carefully touched her cheek with her fingertips.

A warm and soft sensation spread through her fingertips.

“Look how soft these cheeks are.”

Addicted to the sensation, Chloe, no. Risinass pinched her cheek.

Pain spread across her cheek.

Risinass let go of her hand and rubbed her cheek while examining her reflection in the mirror from various angles.

“So this is a human body.”

Even though Risinass was the King of Wisdom, this was his first time moving in another species’ body.

A sensation similar to polymorph, yet slightly different and alien.

Of course, that sensation wasn’t unpleasant.

Like a flower just beginning to bloom.

The vibrant appearance of the girl in the mirror was captivating.

Platinum hair that seemed to shimmer with a cold light.

And bright blue eyes that sparkled with intelligence.

The girl called Chloe, as seen through the King of Wisdom’s eyes, was sparkling with countless possibilities.

Without realizing it, he let out an exclamation and spun his body around.

Like a girl trying on new clothes.

Risinass, who had been examining his body from various angles, placed his hand on his chest.

“….”

The unfamiliarity of this sensation wasn’t simply because he had entered a human body.

Risinass, who had been silent, smiled slightly.

“Yes. She’s a pretty child.”

Deliberately ignoring the unfamiliar sensation, Risinass clasped his hands together and murmured softly as if asking for forgiveness.

“I’m sorry. I’ll only stay for a few days.”

Feeling great guilt for entering another’s body as a spirit, Risinass sincerely apologized to Chloe, who was sleeping in the unconscious depths of her physical body.

‘Normally, I wouldn’t have done something like this.’

Risinass’s face darkened slightly.

‘I wouldn’t have done it….’

Risinass’s shoulders began to tremble.

‘That bastard!’

Leo’s image flashed through his mind.

Even Risinass himself couldn’t remember exactly when he had come to dwell within Leo as a spirit.

Until just moments ago, Risinass had no clear consciousness.

Just drifting through the sea of consciousness.

His memories were hazy as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

He had memories, but those memories were fragmented like pieces.

However, he could guess when he had come to dwell within Leo’s spiritual power.

‘Back then. That object called Hero Record in this era.’

Risinass gathered information from the fragments of his memory.

‘When Kail met my past self through that place.’

He had encountered his past self from when he was called a fool, and with that past self’s help, he was able to converse with Leo.

That must have been when it happened.

‘When Kail inherited my mana as a reward for clearing Hero Record, I must have dwelled within as a spirit.’

A spirit is a trace carved into the memory of mana.

After 5000 years, that trace was bound to fade.

But Leo had gained vivid mana memories through Hero Record.

‘Really!’

Risinass covered his face with his hands.

Risinass, red to his ears, didn’t know what to do.

‘I must have been crazy!’

The memory of kissing first because he thought it was the last time came back to him.

At the time, he thought it was very touching, but now in this situation, he regretted that moment to death.

‘Moreover!’

Risinass, recalling Leo from his sporadically emerging memories, ground his teeth.

‘How fortunate for him!’

Having stayed by Leo’s side.

Even though they were fragmented memories, Risinass had glimpsed Leo’s current life.

And those memories came back to him one by one.

After Leo began training spirit magic in earnest and used summoning techniques.

Risinass had gained consciousness.

But even then, his self-awareness was still dim.

Instinct preceded reason.

His miserable defeat to Chloe at chess was for that reason.

As Leo gradually adapted to spirit magic, he regained consciousness.

And just moments ago.

The word “mixed bathing” became a signal flare that completely restored his consciousness.

‘How nice to be popular.’

Risinass pressed his temples.

Actually, he had no intention of complaining about that.

His personality was eccentric, but.

The human himself was decent enough.

Honestly speaking, hadn’t he himself fallen for him too?

‘Especially to adolescent girls at that age, that guy would seem cool.’

Various incidents came to mind, but they didn’t particularly anger him.

The Leo that Risinass knew was someone who knew how to maintain boundaries.

From his perspective, those much younger juniors would seem endearing.

What made Risinass’s insides boil and gave him anxiety.

That was none other than his close friend Luna.

He knew that Luna had feelings for Leo.

Even in Risinass’s eyes, Luna was beautiful.

She was cheerful, bright, and had the power to make people around her smile.

An attractive woman who naturally drew attention.

Moreover, her relationship with Kail was as comfortable as siblings.

Despite being very threatening, he was actually somewhat relieved on one hand.

‘That idiot is a fool!’

Fortunately for Risinass, Leo was unaware of Luna’s feelings.

‘…Wait.’

Risinass paused.

Come to think of it, since he was also unaware of his own feelings, it wasn’t a good thing.

‘An idiot that can’t be described in ancient language, common language, or dragon tongue!’

Risinass, who had poured a bucketful of curses on Leo, huffed angrily.

Anyway, Luna’s pride was also wounded, so their strange relationship continued.

One more fortunate point was that Luna was also a bit foolish about things other than magic, so she didn’t notice her own feelings?

‘If she had known my feelings, Luna’s attitude would have changed too.’

While this strange state continued.

In the end, neither he nor Luna could convey their feelings before closing their eyes.

The problem is now, 5000 years later.

The situation where they could reveal themselves in this era through the Hero Record.

Since she was already dead, Risinass tried to convey her feelings for Leo more actively.

But Luna was the same way.

From Risinass’s perspective, Luna was like a bulldozer.

The image of Luna, who had manifested as a heroic spirit earlier than herself, remained in Risinass’s memory.

Luna’s appearance, actively expressing her feelings while even setting aside her pride which could be considered a weakness, was enough to make Risinass feel anxious.

Most importantly…

‘Really! The two of them in one room!’

Nothing more than that had happened.

An incident created by Dweno’s love potion.

But…

‘I’m envious… No, how outrageous!’

Risinass stomped her feet with a thud- thud!

‘Who exactly is calling whom lewd! That shameless thing!’

Despite drifting through the sea of unconsciousness, the memories from that time remained strangely vivid.

In fact, by current standards, neither Risinass nor Luna were lewd or shameless.

They were simply being proactive.

But unfortunately, Risinass had lived 5000 years ago.

She was even a black dragon who protected wisdom and norms.

By Risinass’s standards, her surprise kiss stealing Leo’s lips was unimaginable, and Luna’s actions were outrageous behavior too shameful to speak of.

Just as Risinass took a deep breath and pressed her temples firmly—

Knock-knock-

“Chloe. Are you inside?”

Chloe was startled by the voice from the door.

‘This voice is…’

Recognizing the voice from memory, Risinass approached and opened the door.

Creak-

The door opened and Chelsea appeared.

‘This child is…’

She was in Risinass’s memory.

‘The girl who came looking for me when I was in the unconscious state before.’

‘Her name was… Chelsea, wasn’t it?’

A spirited little lady who somehow reminded her of Kail.

“I thought you were sick somewhere since you skipped all your classes today, but you look fine?”

Chelsea tilted her head.

“Faking illness? No way. Chloe wouldn’t fake being sick.”

Risinass reached out her hand while staring at Chelsea who kept tilting her head.

“What are you doing!”

Chelsea reacted sharply to the hands that pinched both her cheeks.

‘She said I was ugly.’

Snap-

Just as a vein bulged on Risinass’s forehead as that memory surfaced—

“Why are you being mean? I went through the trouble of bringing food.”

Chelsea grumbled while rubbing both her cheeks.

Whoosh-

Along with that, the food tray Chelsea had brought flew toward Chloe.

Thinking she might be sick, there was warm soup and soft bread. And steamed meat and vegetables, etc.

They were easily digestible foods.

“Did you bring this because you were worried about me?”

“Yeah, there’s a mock battle with the Knight Department tomorrow. We need you to win.”

Chelsea crossed her arms as if it was nothing special.

“I was really worried thinking you were very sick, but I guess I didn’t need to be.”

Even so, she kept glancing this way.

Even though her words were a bit blunt, you could feel that she cared about her friend.

‘What kind of cute creature is this?’

Risinass’s eyes lit up as she hugged Chelsea.

“Aww~ How precious!”

“Huh?”

Chelsea, whose face was buried in Risinass’s embrace, instinctively struggled.

Risinass rubbed her cheek against Chelsea’s head.

“Why, why are you acting like this? Are you really sick?”

Chelsea, who barely escaped from the embrace, looked flustered.

Risinass smiled at Chelsea and said,

“I’m fine. I had something to think about intensively, so I couldn’t attend classes today.”

“You’re quite different from usual… You didn’t do too much magic research and mess up your head, did you?”

“Hmm… I can’t say there isn’t a bit of that feeling?”

“Anyway, there’s no problem with tomorrow’s mock battle, right?”

“Yeah. Let’s definitely win tomorrow.”

“Good! Selia Jerdinger and Duran Moira! Let’s flatten the noses of those annoying guys!”

Risinass nodded while watching the enthusiastic Chelsea.

Risinass, who received the tray and entered the room, placed it on the desk and began eating.

And she looked around the desk.

‘This looks like… a diary.’

Risinass, who discovered a diary while examining the drawer, carefully put it back in its original place.

‘…She’s a very diligent child.’

Risinass was impressed looking at the study notes and magic research journals besides that.

And she also recalled Chloe’s appearance that she had observed through several days of chess matches.

Based on the knowledge and information gained, she thought about how to act without arousing suspicion.

‘I can’t perfectly act as the person called Chloe Muller.’

But she shouldn’t be strange enough to seem odd.

‘…? Parallel world and multiverse interpretation research? Wow, this kid must be really smart.’

Risinass’s eyes sparkled seeing the interesting research topic.

Risinass didn’t show the same fanatic obsession with magic as Luna.

But her desire for knowledge was incomparably stronger than Luna’s.

Being called the King of Wisdom, she possessed a thirst for knowledge befitting that title.

Risinass, who had grasped Chloe as a person to some extent, closed the book with a thud.

And she looked at a picture frame on one side of the desk.

It was a class group photo taken when Chloe was a first-year student.

‘There are several familiar faces.’

She saw people who had become familiar by unconsciously staying near Leo.

‘Hero candidates…’

Risinass, who was resting her chin and looking at the frame, turned her gaze to another album.

There were several photos of Leo that Cal was selling.

Risinass pouted her lips.

‘I should give him a taste of his own medicine.’

Thud-

Risinass knocked over Leo’s photo with her finger and made a slightly mischievous expression.

‘I’ll give you a surprise.’
