Levinas with her horned rabbit eyes open, Gaeul and me lying on the ground, and Saebyeok with her tail perked up.

This world’s children expressed their surprise in their own ways.

In contrast, our children were quite calm.

They had grown somewhat used to my wild energy.

“Levinas never imagined Princess could be so terrifying…!”

“Is our King that scary?”

“Yeah…!”

“Then cover your eyes with your ears like this!”

Our Levinas, riding on Saebyeok’s back, pressed her ears down to cover her eyes.

This world’s Levinas hadn’t thought of this method – she let out a gasp and pressed her ears down.

“Heuk! I can’t see or hear anything like this!”

“This is a horned rabbit’s secret technique!”

“But Levinas has a good nose so knows where everything is!”

Was it because they had their ears and eyes covered?

The two Levinas couldn’t communicate properly, just saying what they wanted to say.

I watched the Levinas pair for a moment before approaching myself lying on the ground.

“Sorry, was that too scary?”

“Y-yeah… you really startled me…”

To think you’d even expose your belly.

This world’s me was truly timid.

I reached out and helped myself up from the ground.

“You can do this too, Gyeoul.”

“R-really…?”

“Yes. It’ll give you confidence too. Want to try?”

Roar.

I showed my claws to this world’s me again.

This time I didn’t release wild energy, so she only trembled slightly.

“But I…”

This world’s me fidgeted with her fingers hesitantly.

She seemed to really lack confidence.

“It’s okay, just try mimicking it first.”

“Just mimicking?”

“Yeah. I wasn’t good at first either. I got better through lots of practice.”

“……”

Had my words given her confidence?

This world’s me carefully extended her claws.

“R-roar…”

“Wow.”

The wild energy this world’s me showed wasn’t threatening at all.

Even this world’s children, who had no resistance to wild energy, weren’t startled.

Still, I applauded for myself.

It was a brave first step.

There was no need to point out the clumsiness of someone who had made such a big effort.

“You did really well just now.”

“R-really?”

“Yeah. At first I didn’t even know how to do it.”

“Hehe…”

This world’s me shyly flicked her tail.

Though I wanted to have her try more, I decided to stop here for today.

Overdoing things wasn’t good.

I was satisfied with having planted wild energy in my timid self.

“If you practice that bit by bit, you’ll develop a small courage.”

“Small courage?”

“Yes. It might feel small and insignificant, but it’s completely different from having none. It can create miracles we never imagined.”

“…Yeah!”

This world’s me showed an expression of resolve.

She wagged her tail gently and clung tightly to my side.

‘Oh?’

She seemed less hesitant than me in this way?

As I tilted my head in confusion, shocking words burst from this world’s me.

“You’re just like a big sister.”

“Huh…?”

“You seem so dependable.”

Big sister?

Something I’d never said to anyone in my life.

This world’s me said it so easily.

Just as my tail shot up in surprise-

Our children frantically waved their hands.

“No! King isn’t a big sister!”

“Gyeoul isn’t a big sister.”

“No.”

Why were the children acting like this?

Not understanding the situation, I could only shrug my shoulders.

**

When Levinas’s mana stone control ended, this world’s me would fall asleep again.

So we decided to play desperately until then.

We played at the pool playground and visited the mysteriously filled pond.

We also walked through the flower garden the two Levinas had created.

“Those yellow flowers are really pretty.”

“Yeah. All flowers are pretty.”

As we walked around the park with the children, this world’s family members who had found some free time came looking for us.

Sophia and Encia.

“We came hearing Gyeoul woke up…”

Sophia looked this world’s me up and down.

Though it should have been time for an emotional reunion.

Her narrowed eyes seemed strange, making me voice my question.

“What is it?”

“You seem stronger somehow.”

Did learning wild energy make this world’s me appear different?

Everyone was staring intently at this world’s me.

This world’s me gave them a sheepish smile.

“Actually, I learned wild energy from my other world self.”

“W-wild energy…?!”

Encia showed the strongest reaction to the words ‘wild energy.’

Wagging her tail rapidly, she looked between me and my other self with sparkling eyes.

“Yes. But I’m still inexperienced.”

“That’s fine. No one is good at first. But…”

Encia turned to look at me as she spoke.

She was looking at me with eyes full of expectation.

“So you can handle wild energy too.”

“Y-yes… but I’m really inexperienced too.”

“Being able to use it at all is what matters.”

Under Encia’s starry-eyed gaze, I rolled my eyes around.

Her eyes kept conveying the message ‘I want to see Gyeoul’s wild energy.’

“W-well… roar…”

I extended my claws threateningly toward Encia.

Encia showed a satisfied smile at my forcefully displayed wild energy.

“A-amazing…!”

Clenching her fists, clasping her hands as if praying.

After moving her hands around, Encia hugged me tight.

It was strange seeing the usually composed Encia act like this.

“Wonderful.”

Sophia also patted my head while I was in Encia’s embrace.

At their admiration, this world’s me who had been startled by the wild energy approached.

“Encia, Sophia, from now on I’ll train hard in wild energy too. I want to become brave like the other Gyeoul.”

“Sniff.”

Encia in whose arms I was held made a sniffling sound.

She reached out and hugged this world’s me too.

With my face buried in Encia’s embrace, I couldn’t tell if she was really crying.

‘How strange.’

Our world’s Encia would never act like this.

It was interesting seeing this new side of Encia.

**

“Heuk…”

Levinas riding on Sophia’s back showed signs of strain.

Was controlling the Long-lived Horned Rabbit’s mana stone difficult?

We took this world’s me back to the hospital room.

Master, Han Yeoreum, and many other family members had gathered in the room.

“Ha-haah…”

I lying in bed showed signs of exhaustion.

Eyes half closed, body unable to move.

Barely able to lift my arms, but my eyes showed more confidence than ever before.

“I’ll wake up soon.”

I in bed held the hands of each family member around me.

Had the time for goodbyes come?

Though it was a difficult time, no one showed any suffering.

Because hope had been born that I could wake again.

When we first met.

Even this world’s Levinas, who had looked at me with dead eyes back then, wore a very peaceful expression now.

“Princess! When you wake up next time, you’ll ride the slide with Levinas again?!”

“Yes… next, next time I’ll ride bravely without closing my eyes…”

After speaking with difficulty, I turned to this world’s Saebyeok.

This world’s Saebyeok wore an expressionless face, but somehow it felt peaceful.

“Saebyeok, don’t push yourself too hard… There are rumors going around about how scary you’ve become…”

“Sorry. I won’t do that anymore.”

“Yes… and Gaeul…”

I in bed turned to this world’s Gaeul.

Gaeul wore a bright smile without any worries or concerns.

Perhaps Gaeul believed most strongly that I would wake again.

“Gaeul, stay cheerful like yourself… okay…?”

“Nyuu…!”

Hehe…

After managing a smile at Gaeul, I finally turned to us.

Another family from a different world.

Looking around at us, I spoke:

“I’ll wake up soon, so let’s definitely play again then…”

“Yeah. Let’s play again next time. I’ll teach you lots about wild energy.”

“Yes…”

Sophia inserted a needle into my trembling arm.

Han Yeoreum put an oxygen mask over my mouth.

I in bed watched my family until the end before slowly closing my eyes.

I falling asleep among family wore quite a peaceful expression.

“Gyeoul will, soon…”

“Yaaaah!”

Before Han Yeoreum could finish speaking, this world’s Levinas jumped up with a shout.

Then she ran out of the hospital room without looking back.

“U-um…?”

Why did Levinas suddenly?

At this unexpected situation, we chased after Levinas.

When we arrived at the park, we saw Levinas making crops grow.

“Everyone does what they can! Give it their all!”

Countless crops grew around Levinas.

And then.

Roar-!

A monster’s roar rang out from far away.

A new monster wave had begun.

“Monsters.”

Pitter patter-

This world’s Saebyeok ran toward where the monster’s roar came from.

Her tail stood tall and firm as she ran.
