Boom Boom Boom!!

An accident broke out. Aracelli, who was pretending to pray, raised her head at the sound of several explosions that happened. She was currently waiting in the church of the Imperial Palace because she had nothing to do with the banquet.

Aracelli had no idea of ​​the future. She was neither a regressor nor a transmigator. Even so, through her own insight as a 9th-Circle Archmage who had crossed many dimensions, she was able to notice to some extent about the fact that the regressor was being driven by all the blessings of this world.

‘Is it a simple terror incident this time?’

Aracelli hurriedly donned a mask that stretched from her nose to the bottom of her chin. It was a slightly translucent mask, so if someone looked at her closely, they might be able to recognize that the woman behind that mask was Aracelli. However, Aracelli didn’t think much about it, as she thought that she wouldn’t run into anybody anyway.

The amount of Mana that resided in her body currently was only 10% compared to her original Mana. But it wouldn’t be a problem, Aracelli was confident that she could solve this accident with only that much Mana.

After loosening her black hair, Aracelli changed into a simple black dress, and soared high into the sky after putting a pure white light all over her body.

[Photon Movement]

It was a 7-circle Magic. Photon Movement was a magic that would allow the caster to fly around by wrapping their body with light. During the flight, they would be able to ignore all laws of physics. They could accelerate to the speed of sound in a span of less than a second, and it was possible to make a sudden stop while at a speed of sound, ignoring even the law of inertia.

As she soared high into the night sky, Aracelli spread a little bit of her mana in all directions. She had always been restraining her mana usage in order to regain some mana faster, but if she put her heart into it, she could easily figure out anything in a distance of a few hundred meters.

‘Found it!’

The explosion occurred in seven buildings in total. However, Aracelli noticed that there were almost no victims… no. There weren’t any victims at all.

‘This….’

In the midst of an explosion that shook the earth, there was not a single casualty. The explosion occurred only in locations that no one visited, such as the warehouse, toilet, empty reception hall, and so. It was as if the perpetrator chose those places on purpose.

Aracelli thought that the perpetrator might be doing this to lure her out.

And finally, together with an explosion from the eighth building, Aracelli could sense something she was familiar with.

‘…….!!’

It was a foreign yet familiar scent of mana. It was the scent of ‘him’ who she could not forget even though she had only met him a few times throughout her life.

Her head was filled with confusion. However, her body was already accelerating towards him before she realized.

For some reason, the pillars and walls that supported the upper floors of the eighth building were fine. The explosion swept away only the useless area as well as the entrance, as if it was done deliberately to obstruct entry.

She flew silently through the empire’s night sky, and finally landed on the top of the building.

“……”

Finally, Aracelli could see him.

“As I thought, the ‘black lady wizard’ was you all along, Aracelli.”

“..Yes.”

Aracelli could see that Yoo Seodam was looking somewhat sorry. He, who had always done things brazenly, was carrying an expression that wasn’t suitable for him. Aracelli thought to herself, ‘what did he feel so sorry for?’

“Are you going through all these hardships just to find me?”

“Ah.”

Only then, Aracelli realized that Yoo Seodam was feeling guilty towards her. A smile crept up on her face. She was thrilled because it seems like her professor knows about all of her hardships she faced while journeying through dimensions to find him.

Aracelli smiled brightly. She slowly approached him before hugging him tightly.

“Didn’t I tell you before, Professor? Wherever you are, I will definitely come to see you.”

“It must be hard…”

“No, It wasn’t hard at all!”

Yoo Seodam caressed Aracelli who found comfort in his arms. She sunk into his body and embraced his neck so hard as if she wouldn’t let go.

[E/N: He got another love interest! Now I am really curious who he will choose in the end]

“Are you deliberately doing this to attract me?”

“Yes…”

She was only half right.

In the first place, Yoo Seodam was aware to some extent that Aracelli was in this world, he heard from Princess Sahar’s story that Aracelli always appeared when an accident occurs. It was as if she was trying to inform someone of her existence. However, unlike other places, the churches and temples where the Priestess of Goddess of Time and Season resided, they were strictly forbidden for men.

So, Yoo Seodam had an idea, if he couldn’t find her, why not make her come to him? Thus, this terror incident took place.

“I waited for one year to meet you.”

Yoo Seodam stroked Aracelli’s back. His heart felt heavy when he thought about all the hardships Aracelli had been suffering through. She had been helping him resolve all kinds of accidents in this world even though it was originally his mission. He had no choice but to remain silent because he didn’t know if he could repay her or not.

“By the way, why is your mana like this?”

“Oh, well….”

Yoo Seodam discovered something strange about Aracelli’s body while he patted her back. The mana circle around her heart was completely hardened.

<It is the effect of using an incomplete method to cross dimension. She must have been in a hurry…. She traveled through dimensions without even knowing how to go through the Fragment of Time and the method of condensing magic in another dimension. If she had put a little more effort, it would have been possible for her to make a safe transition… It’s very unfortunate.>

‘Huh.’

Yoo Seodam wondered what could be the reason behind Aracelli’s hasty decision to travel through dimensions.

[T/N Broooo, she kissed you already and you are still wondering? You kiddin me?]

“It’s because I’m not good enough…”

Yoo Seodam was taken aback. Just like the day when he met her a long time ago, her confidence was still in the gutter.

“You are great enough. For now, let’s…. Wait, What are you doing?”

Something hot was wriggling in his heart. It was mana, an unknown power that he couldn’t feel a year ago. However, Yoo Seodam had never ordered it to move, and it couldn’t be the work of the flower spirit because she had been hibernating to prepare to ‘bloom’.

“Professor….. This is my mana circling technique, right?”

“Yes. It is.”

“How is this…….”

“Well, it’s too complicated to explain…. But, there’s this someone who stole your mana circling method, then someone stole it back, and that someone then passed it to other people.”

That was the correct explanation.

“But… It’s more advanced than my own method. There’s an unknown technique mixed on it…. Is it a breathing technique?”

“Oh yeah, that’s right… what are you doing now?”

With her eyes closed, Aracelli quietly placed her ears on Yoo Seodam’s chest. And, Yoo Seodam also slowly patted Aracelli’s back and placed his hand near her heart.

And he could feel it. Aracelli was forcefully rotating his mana circle, she also absorbed the condensed mana produced by his mana circle.

‘Huh, crazy.’

Normally, it was very difficult to interfere with other people’s mana circle because the more you try to interfere, the more the magic circle tries to repulse you. But Yoo Seodam knows. It’s definitely very difficult, but it’s not impossible. It was a fact that he came to realize while charging Yekaterina the other day.

He was aware that he could forcefully move other people’s mana circle as long as they had the same mana circling technique. However, it was also possible to do it if he and the other person shared their soul to the extent of sharing their senses.

But, even without using the method that Yoo Seodam knew, Aracelli was forcefully moving his mana circle regardless of his will.

The thing that was transferred wasn’t only mana. But also, the DNA of the mana itself. Both of their mana were mixing together.

[The maximum amount of mana is greatly increased!]

Yoo Seodam’s eyes widened as he felt an outrageous amount of mana embracing his body. And then, he looked at Aracelli who smiled as she closed her eyes.

“Hmmm…. It’s good.”

For a wizard, mana was like life. If their Mana, which was the very reason for their life, gets cut off one day, the wizard will feel the pain of having their limb amputated.

And the girl in Yoo Seodam’s arms was traveling through the dimension while feeling this excruciating pain. And yet, she had managed to travel through the worlds with that limited amount of mana.

Aracelli felt happy after a long while once she felt the sensation of her mana increasing.

Booommm!!

“Heh.. Really?”

While bombs were still loudly exploding like a firecracker outside, Aracelli fell asleep in his arms.

And he couldn’t wake her up.

* * *

“Bianca. What happened?”

Pope Cain was always friendly towards Bianca. He often said things like, ‘I’ll open the door’, ‘Give me that bag. I’ll carry it.’ towards her and cherished her a lot.

However, it was nothing but the effect of ‘Attraction Monopoly (SSS)’

Bianca was indeed a very beautiful girl, but that alone cannot make people unconditionally cherish her. But this time, something that could twist the protagonist’s correction intervened, and for the first time, Pope Cain’s friendliness disappeared.

“…How, did you know in advance that the devil would appear?”

Last night, a devil appeared in the banquet hall. The nobles who were present on the scene at that time attested that the Saintess had foretold the appearance of the devil.

Cain thought about how she could know that. It was unlikely that she received an oracle that even he, the pope, did not receive.

“That…..”

Pope Cain awkwardly asked his question to the restless Bianca. He didn’t even know why he felt so awkward. But he still felt that the woman in front of him was precious and adorable. He had to make her clarify this somehow.

“The nobles are in an uproar. They said that you called the devil.”

While Bianca’s plummeting image, Princess Sahar Serenity, who was previously hated by the citizens of the empire, was now on the rise because of her brave show of defeating the devil alone.

Bianca chewed her nails.

‘It wasn’t supposed to be like this…’

She thought hard about the reason things developed this way. It was clearly different from the original.

‘Did things become like this because I intervened?’

She tried to arrange the information in her head in the most reasonable way.

Princess Sahar was a regressor who was currently living her second life. She wanted to be recognized by the Emperor by solving the accidents using her future knowledge. In fact, Princess Sahar in the original book that Bianca remembered, she successfully solved many cases and got closer and closer to the Emperor.

Bianca pondered. What if, ‘Emperor’s love’ wasn’t something Princess Sahar could get? What if, the only thing that she would get in return for her deed was contempt? Will Sahar Serenity, the protagonist of the original work, still do the same?

‘If I’m her, I wouldn’t do it.’

When Bianca thought of it this way, it became clear. If she put herself in Princess Sahar’s shoe, she wouldn’t want to keep pursuing such an unrequited love.

‘So, what should I do now?’

Bianca tried to remember Princess Sahar’s movement.

She pondered about the reason why she suddenly gave up Emperor’s love, and went on a completely different route compared to the original.

Then, Bianca remembered Princess Sahar’s knight, Yoo Seodam.

‘No way, Princess Sahar… Does she have a relationship with the knight? It’s ridiculous.’

Bianca couldn’t be sure yet. However, If Princess Sahar fell in love with another man, it was understandable for her to stop pursuing the Emperor’s love.

‘If things stay like this, I will be in trouble.’

Bianca recalled her arduous efforts to get Princess Sahar demoted from her position as ‘Priestess’ in the past one year. If Princess Sahar regained her spirit and image, and once again became Priestess of Goddess of Time and Season, there was a chance that she could also regain her ‘return’ ability.

Bianca couldn’t let that be. She had to stop it.

‘Wait a minute.’

Bianca knows that she was more lovely and beautiful than anyone else in the world. It was something she shouldn’t say out loud, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, even she fell in love with herself. And among all the people who she had talked to, there was no one who wasn’t completely obsessed with her, there were still a lot of people who couldn’t sleep at night when they thought of her.

As she thought about it, Bianca barely stopped the laughter that was about to escape from her mouth.

‘If it is true that Princess Sahar is relying on her knight, Yoo Seodam….’

Bianca just needed to snatch him away from Princess Sahar.
