The mission in the Rift ended.
The Awakeners who were deployed to the mission came out of the Rift exit with the injured people.
The area around the entrance soon became a mess because there were too many injured Awakeners than expected.
“Ugh
”
“Hurry up and get a stretcher here.”
“Do not use detox potions for people who have been addicted for a long time! Transfer them to the hospital quickly!”
The medical staff on standby began to take care of the injured.
The reporters who were a little far away set off their camera flashes eagerly to see what was going on.
Guild Master Kang Heseop, who found us, came toward us in a hurry.
“Are you guys all right?”
Captain Daeho, who was at the forefront, answered in a calm tone.
“Everything is fine, Guild master. No big injuries on our side.”
“What do you mean by no big injury? Look at the blood dripping from your head. Stop pretending to be tough and get treated quickly.”
Kang Heseop scolded Captain Daeho and then examined the condition of the rest of the guild members.
“I’m fine, Guild master. I’m just a little exhausted because I’ve used a lot of mana.”
“I’m fine too, Uncle. I was able to avoid the poison thanks to Sihyeon giving me his detox potion.”
Jin and Yerin explained their conditions in turn.
It was a mission with many wounded. Considering that, the Guardians guild members were in very good condition.
Naturally, Kang Heseop’s eyes looked at everyone with a relieved expression.
Everyone looked perfectly fine, but the problem was Lia, who was next to me.
Now, Lia’s condition remained the same, with horns, tail, and red scales on both arms.
Yerin wrapped her whole body in a blanket she had gotten from somewhere, but Kang Heseop could feel the strange thing when he looked closely.
“Um
”
“
.”
“I thought she wouldn’t be an ordinary foreigner, but
”
Kang Heseop quickly recognized Lia’s identity and scratched his head.
He looked at me with a troubled look.
It seemed as if he was asking whether I knew Lia’s identity.
I nodded quietly.
Then, Kang Heseop’s face became more and more complicated.
“Guild Master. This mission would never have been successful without Sihyeon and Miss.Lianne.”
Starting with Captain Daeho, everyone explained our performance diligently.
“That’s right, guild master. They did the most difficult thing on the mission.”
“If it weren’t for them, most of the injured wouldn’t have been able to come back safely.”
When all the guild members stepped in to voice for us, Kang Heseop raised his hands and gestured to them to calm down.
“All right, all right. I didn’t mean to make it a problem either. As a Guild Master, I need to know the exact circumstances.”
After calming down the guild members, he talked to Lia with an awkward look.
“Hmm
 Lia, are you okay?”
“
”
She answered his question with a slow nod.
“Both of you don’t want to be in the limelight, right?”
“Yes.”
“All right. I’ll help you guys get out of here quietly. Just wait a little bit. If we try to force our way out now, reporters and cameraman will rush in like crazy.”
“Thank you. Guild Master.”
Kang Heseop replied with a warm smile.
“Whatever the identity is. It’s my job to protect my guild members.”
Kang Heseop began to move busily, leaving us to rest for a while.
The police who were guarding the area were asked for cooperation to make a separate way out, and soon, a vehicle was also prepared so that we could move right away.
Only three, me, Lia, and Yerin were made to leave first, while Captain Daeho and Jin were transferred to the hospital after receiving simple treatment.
“Sihyeon, you were amazing today. If it weren’t for you and Lia, we would have been in big trouble.”
“Yerin, you also worked hard.”
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
After saying our goodbyes to Captain Daeho and Jin, we moved under Kang Heseop’s guidance to the place where the vehicle to take us was.
Thanks to Kang Heseop’s efforts, there were no journalists or cameramen clinging next to the vehicle.
The moment I was about to enter the vehicle, I felt a strong gaze and trembled.
I stopped moving and turned my head around and looked around.
“Sihyeon, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Um
 No, I thought someone was looking at me.”
“Is there a reporter hiding nearby?”
Yerin casually said that it might be a reporter, but that wasn’t what I felt. It was a very creepy feeling as if someone was looking through me.
“Never mind, let’s go.”
“Uh
 Okay.”
At Yerin’s urging, I forced myself to take a steady step.
Lia and I got in the car first.
“Excuse me
 
Lia?”
“

”
“Sis?”
Then her head moved gently toward me.
“What?”
“It’s nothing, can you hide the tail and scales in your hands?”
The artifact that makes the horn disappear broke in the Rift, so we couldn’t do anything with the horns, so I asked her to hide at least her tail and scales in her hands that were most noticeable.
She hesitated for a moment to answer and said in a timid voice.
“I can’t. I can only do it if the other Lia comes out.”
“Oh
 is that so?”
“What? Do you want me to go in quickly?”
There was a sense of a little disappointment in the way Sis spoke.
I denied her question by waving my hand hurriedly.
“Oh, no! It’s not like that. I thought it stands out a lot,  so maybe it would be better to hide it if you could. That’s all.”
Her expression calmed down a little at my excuse.
It felt like she didn’t want to go back to her usual self yet.
The tail and the red scales were a little noticeable, but I didn’t want to force her. I wanted to let her do whatever she wanted since I got a lot of help from her today.
“I won’t force you to go back. You can stay comfortably as long as you want.”
She looked at me and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something.
“Is there anything you’d like to say, Sis?”
“

”
“What?”
“

”
Sis whispered very quietly, blushing slightly.
I could not understand the whispering until I got very close to her.
After a while, Kang Heseop and Yerin got into the car.
Kang Heseop, who sat in the driver’s seat, asked as he looked at us in the back.
“Come to think of it, you said you guys live next door, right? Then I’ll take you home right away.”
“Well, Guild Master. There’s a place I’d like to stop by before going home
..”
I brought it up carefully.
Yerin and Kang Heseop showed worried reactions as soon as they heard me.
“Why? Are you sick somewhere?”
“Should I take you to the hospital right away?”
“Oh, no. It’s not that
”
I continued with a very embarrassed expression.
“On the way home, can you stop by at the ice cream shop?”
Yerin and Kang Heseop looked puzzled at the sudden ice cream story
“

”
“

.??”
Sis blushed and turned her head away as if she got nothing to do with it.
On the way home, Sis, who tasted ice cream to her heart’s content, returned with great satisfaction and Lia came back.
After a short stop at the ice cream shop, Guild Master Kang Heseop took us directly to the front of our apartment and left immediately saying he would contact us soon.
It seemed that he went straight to the hospital where Captain Daeho and Jin were.
“Ugh
 I want to play with the kids. But, I’m too tired today. Sihyeon, we’ll go in and rest. Lia, let’s go.”
“See you tomorrow, Sihyeon.”
Yerin, who looked tired, went into the house together with Lia.
I also opened the front door of my house watching the two go inside.
-KACHAK!
“Papa!”
“Oh my! Speranza, were you playing well with grandma?”
“Un, I was listening to grandpa as Papa said. Hehe, I’m a good girl, right Papa?”
“Of course, my daughter is always a really nice Good girl.”
When I hugged Speranza in my arms, I felt like I came home.
Once I felt at ease, the drowsiness and tiredness rushed in at the same time.
Speranza began to chatter about what had happened today while being held in my arms.
Normally, I would have listened to it with joy, but now it seemed like a difficult task because of the fatigue of the mission.
Fortunately, my mother, who recognized my tired condition, took Speranza from me.
“Speranza, I think Papa is very tired today. How about playing with grandma a little longer?”
“Um
 Okay.”
Speranza didn’t complain and agreed with a very disappointed expression.
I felt a little sorry for Speranza, who had been waiting for me, but I thanked my mother while vowing to spend more time tomorrow.
I took a shower roughly and threw myself on the bed.
I fell asleep as if I fainted, without feeling the touch of the soft blanket.
After a while, I felt light and my consciousness returned.
When I slowly opened my eyes, it was a space I had never seen before.
‘Hmm
 Is this a dream?’
I slowly moved my eyes, thinking that it was a dream because it was not the room where I fell asleep.
The first thing that came into my eyes was a large field and a forest in the distance.
The scenery reminiscent of a Demon farm made me feel comfortable.
– Poo Woo!  Poo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo!
“Wow! It’s Sihyeon, Popi!”
” Akum
 Gyuri?”
I smiled brightly at the familiar baby Yakum and Fairy.
– Kiiiiiii!
– Kikikiiiiiii!
“Oh? You guys 
..”
It’s been a long time since I saw the general Poison ants and worker poison ants.
When my summons appeared in a space that I thought was a dream, I felt a little puzzled

“You’re finally here.”
“Ah
?”
An unexpected presence appeared in front of me.
“What’s with that silly look?”
“
Master Bellion?’
“Hahaha. Long time no see, my disciple.”
A man with a thick voice and a big body.  It was Bellion who trained me in the past.
“Is this
 a dream?”
“What dream. This is a world that exists.”
“What?”
“I don’t know the details either. But there’s been a little change recently, maybe it’s because you got a new ability.”
New ability?
What the hell was that
?
While I was in a confused state, someone tapped my leg.
I turned my eyes and looked down.
There was a little baby bear staring up at me.
It was a baby bear that I think I have seen somewhere.
The moment I tried to reach out slowly to the baby bear. With the feeling of dizziness, the surrounding scenery began to become blurred.
“Well, I guess that’s it for today.”
“What? Master Bellion! Please explain in more detail!”
“See you later. And watch out for the Angels. They are dangerous
.”
“What
?!”
Before I could finish my sentence, the landscape in front of me completely disappeared, and I completely lost consciousness.
