The exam was over, but there was no end to reading.

As always, Seo-yu was heading to the West Hall when she made eye contact with a boy. It was Tae-eon, the Qilin Young Family Head.

‘Young Master Tae-eon…’

Soon Tae-eon’s gaze also turned toward Seo-yu. When Seo-yu reflexively bowed in greeting, Tae-eon approached.

“It’s been a while.”

“Hello, Young Master.”

She hadn’t expected him to speak first, so she was a little flustered, but Seo-yu answered happily. Tae-eon continued speaking.

“I heard the news that the matriarch of the Golden Dragon Family has opened her eyes. I wanted to offer my congratulations, but I’m quite late.”

“Thank you. Mother has gotten much better.”

At the unexpected greeting, Seo-yu hid her surprise and quickly expressed her gratitude.

But inwardly, her heart felt heavy. She knew that Tae-eon’s mother had not awakened.

After hesitating, Seo-yu slowly opened her mouth.

“Young Master Tae-eon, I believe there are miracles in this world.”

And with a very serious expression, she said.

“That miracle will surely come to the Qilin Madam as well.”

Tae-eon gazed quietly at Seo-yu. Was it because her exceptionally bright blonde hair under the sunlight was quite similar to his?

It felt as if his younger brother in the sky had briefly descended to earth to comfort him.

With the warmth slowly spreading through his heart, Tae-eon showed not his habitual pulling of the corners of his mouth, but a genuine, gentle smile.

“Thank you. Those words were a great comfort.”

“Oh, not at all. Please don’t mention it.”

Meanwhile, there were eyes watching the two from a distance.

The owner of those fierce eyes, Nok Su-jeong, gnawed on her nails while glaring at the two.

‘Why do they look so affectionate? How annoying.’

Then she spoke to the new maid standing beside her.

“I deliberately made them meet as you said. This really will help me, right?”

“Of course, Young Miss.”

The maid answered respectfully.

“When other students pass by and see that scene, they’ll definitely think it’s strange. They’ll wonder why those two are acting like that when Su-jeong isn’t even there. This will all become evidence.”

The one who had relegated Cho-ok to a porter and newly occupied the position beside Su-jeong was none other than Cho-ah.

But Su-jeong didn’t know it was Cho-ah.

Cho-ah had introduced herself as her cousin, and having released her special abilities to return to her actual age, Cho-ah didn’t appear to be the same person as the previous ‘Cho-ah.’

“So, what exactly is this method?”

Su-jeong asked with an anxious expression.

Cho-ah had said there was a good way to get rid of the eyesore Hwang Seo-yu. Naturally, Su-jeong had asked to know what it was, whatever it might be.

But all Su-jeong had done was wait helplessly until now, with the festival approaching. As time passed fruitlessly, Su-jeong became anxious too.

If it were up to her feelings, she would have gotten angry long ago, but since the other party was someone Cho-ah had introduced, she was exercising patience for now. Though she didn’t know how much longer this would last.

“From what I can see, handling it within the Medical Academy is nearly impossible.”

“Don’t you think I know that? I’m doing this because I can’t just kick her out as I please.”

Su-jeong was frustrated. She had expected a good method, but all she was hearing were things she already knew.

Just as she was about to burst into anger, Cho-ah, disguised as a maid, smiled slyly.

“Young Miss, think about it. People who commit crimes should go to prison.”

Cho-ah’s voice became even lower.

“But that shameless deer is still attending the Medical Academy.”

“Right?”

Only then did Su-jeong show interest. She moved her body closer to Cho-ah as if telling her to continue.

“So…”

Cho-ah whispered in Su-jeong’s ear.

“Wouldn’t it work to show everyone that deer committing a crime in the act so she can’t make excuses anymore? A serious crime that would get her dragged to prison immediately.”

On a summer day when the trees were thick with green foliage and cicadas were crying noisily, the long-awaited festival was held at the Medical Academy.

The Medical Academy was more lively than ever with students and visitors.

Standing at the main gate where countless carriages were constantly entering, Seo-yu was anxiously looking around when she spotted a golden dragon flying from far away and a boy running behind it.

“Youngest! We’re here!”

“Hwang Yi-ryeong, please don’t embarrass Seo-yu!”

“Sister Yi-ryeong, Brother Li-gon!”

Seo-yu’s face instantly brightened as she quickly ran toward the two.

“We wanted to see our youngest quickly, so Li-gon and I ran ahead together. We did well, right?”

When Yi-ryeong, who had returned to human form, spoke proudly, Li-gon, who had followed, added as if explaining.

“Mother, Father, and Master are coming by carriage. They’ll arrive soon. I followed because Yi-ryeong flew through the window.”

Li-gon glanced at Yi-ryeong with a ‘this senseless dragon’ expression, but quickly softened when Seo-yu hugged the twins in turn.

“Hehe, I’m also happy to see Sister and Brother quickly. I was waiting for when you’d come!”

“We felt the same way. Last time we came secretly and had to part right away.”

“Right. I wanted to stay together a little longer. I should have asked Qilin Grandfather to hide us.”

When someone they knew was mentioned, Seo-yu spoke with a pleased expression.

“Oh, I heard Sister and Brother also met Qilin Grandfather.”

“Youngest, you know that grandfather too? Be good to that grandfather. He doesn’t know anything.”

“What? Grandfather? But he’s a very smart person.”

“No. He says he lives at the Medical Academy but didn’t even know Seo-yu came in first place.”

“Ah, that’s probably because Grandfather was away gathering medicinal herbs somewhere else.”

“Really? Oh, right. Ga-ram asked me to tell you, when you come home for vacation…”

They chattered for a while, sharing news with each other. A familiar carriage entered Seo-yu’s sight. Seo-yu shouted excitedly.

“It’s the Golden Dragon Family carriage! Everyone must have arrived!”

“Ugh, everyone else is too slow. Let’s go greet them since we’re fast, Youngest.”

“Okay!”

As they approached, all the family members got out of the carriage. Li-han and Hyeon-ya got out first, and Bi-yeon and Hyeon-rang also stepped onto the ground affectionately holding hands.

“Seo-yu!”

Li-han, who was the first to spot his younger siblings, approached with a smile spreading across his entire face.

“Young Master Li-han!”

“Haha, have you been well?”

Li-han hugged Seo-yu tightly as she called out to him. Seo-yu, nestled in his arms with a delighted expression, marveled at how much higher her eye level had become.

“Yes! Young Master, you seem to have grown taller.”

“I’ve been growing suddenly lately. I want to hurry up and grow to catch up with Father.”

Though they had only been apart for a few months, Li-han had noticeably matured. Having grown much taller with a deeper voice, Li-han already looked like an adult.

“Oh, my beast transformation form has gotten bigger too. I’ll give you a ride later.”

“Wow, congratulations. I’m so excited.”

Then Yi-ryeong chimed in from the side.

“When will Li-gon and I grow? I want to hurry up and grow so I can carry Seo-yu and fly too.”

“You’ll grow when you reach maturity too.”

“Maturity? Then if I call for maturity to come quickly, will it come?”

“Would it come…”

Li-gon shook his head back and forth at the absurd comment. Seo-yu also laughed briefly, but soon became lost in thought.

‘I hope I grow quickly too. Then maybe my horn will grow more.’

Though she no longer disliked her horn, she couldn’t help but feel a lingering sense of regret.

“Well, well, if it isn’t our pretty little physician!”

“Bi-yeon, you came!”

However, upon hearing Bi-yeon’s voice calling out to her, Seo-yu quickly changed her mind, thinking ‘Being a baby for now seems good too!’

Seeing how excited she was as she ran toward the two of them, Hwang Hyeon-rang burst into laughter.

“Our Seo-yu knows how to run like Yi-ryeong too.”

Then he positioned Seo-yu between himself and Bi-yeon, with both of them holding her hands from either side. Seo-yu was so happy about this that she grinned widely.

“I knew she’d want to imitate me the most.”

“She doesn’t need to learn that kind of thing, Seo-yu.”

The twins and Li-han followed behind, and even Hwang Hyeon-ya sent greetings with his eyes from the back.

With all the family members gathered in one place, Seo-yu’s heart felt overwhelmed.

“Everyone, come inside quickly. I’ll give you a tour of the Medical Academy!”

It was the beginning of a joyful celebration.
