Chapter 419
After the winter break ceremony.
It was now time to finish packing up the miscellaneous items and head toward the gate terminal.
"Are you going to the Association?"
[Yes.]
But I had a different place to go. As soon as I said that, the eyes of those packing their things turned toward me.
"Ah, the Acting Head of the Association? Well... It's fine if you're going, but... do you know how long it will take?"
Lee Ji-yeon spoke up with a concerned voice as the representative.
[It’s fine. I’ll be back soon. I’ll return before we leave. If I’m a little late, we can meet at the destination gate terminal.]
"That’s true, but..."
Lee Ji-yeon’s expression became odd. One thing was certain—it was a look full of distrust.
...The others didn’t look any different. There was a clear air of distrust and unease.
I was about to pout but quickly realized I had no right to do so, so I stopped myself.
"Ah, of course! The Acting Head of the Association is on official business. Who would dare say otherwise?"
[That’s what I’m saying…]
"What a shame! It means go quickly and come back fast, of course."
Baek Ah-rin, covering her mouth with her hand, smiled and patted my backside.
I exhaled and stroked Se-yul, who had been sitting on the couch packing, on the head.
[Dad will be back soon. Don’t worry, just wait with the others.]
"...You’ll really come back right away, right?"
[Yes…]
Even Se-yul’s eyes were filled with suspicion.
I despaired at the fact that even my child didn’t trust me, then nodded heavily.
After that, I turned away from their worried eyes and entered a room, activating my spatial powers.
The ripples of space engulfed my body, and I flew into the next dimension.
- Shhrrrk!
- Whoooom!
- Swoosh...
- Hoo...
- DING!
- DING! DING! DING!
- Creeeak...
- Swoosh!
