[Chapter 195]
[The Beginning of a New World (3)]
After the Mana Religion soul-returning ceremony terror attack ended, disasters big enough to shake the country did not come for a while.
It was a time of temporary peace.
So Eun-ha used this opportunity to come to Jeju Island for his honeymoon.
"─Miss, I'll put the luggage here. I'll be in the next room, so please press the call button when you need anything."
"Yes, unnie. I'm really sorry for making you come all the way here."
"I'm happy to come to Jeju Island too."
A week-long honeymoon.
The hotel recommended by Jung Geum-jeon, direct descendant of Donghae Group, had a great view.
When going out to the balcony, flowers spread out below their feet.
"Then miss. Please make sure to call me when you bathe later. I'll make you so pretty that the Pandora Clan Lord will fall head over heels for you."
"Unnie... You don't have to say such things. I'll call you later."
Meanwhile, the servants who usually attended to Lee Yu-jeong also came along on the honeymoon.
They cheered her on with faces as if looking at a younger sister.
Soon they all left the room.
"How pretty are they going to make you to boast like that? I'm looking forward to it."
"Ugh, don't tease me. You're really mean."
"I'll look forward to it later."
"Ugh..."
Lee Yu-jeong's face turned red.
Eun-ha teased Lee Yu-jeong who was flustered and didn't know what to do.
☆
Night deepened before they knew it.
As Lee Yu-jeong's servants boasted, she was all dressed up.
""...""
She seemed embarrassed to be wearing thin clothes.
Lee Yu-jeong lowered her head deeply.
Eun-ha smiled faintly.
She was aggressive in the previous regression.
Well, back then we had already seen everything there was to see because of Lilith.
Suddenly recalling the previous regression.
Eun-ha was immersed in faint emotions.
Lee Yu-jeong before and after the regression.
The two had different personalities, but their ability to consider others remained unchanged.
Lee Yu-jeong was Lee Yu-jeong.
The person who first made him feel possessiveness.
"─Come here."
"...Okay."
Eun-ha grasped Lee Yu-jeong's hand.
He leads her.
Then she followed quickly with her head lowered.
She carefully gets on the bed.
"Are you scared?"
"Yeah, a little."
"Then should we not do it?"
Shake shake.
When Eun-ha asked playfully, Lee Yu-jeong tightly grasped his collar.
Then she shook her head strongly.
To this, Eun-ha gently pushed Lee Yu-jeong down.
He gets on top of her like that.
""...""
Her whole body is tense.
Eun-ha assessed Lee Yu-jeong's state.
So he made her accept him with careful touches.
When her body gradually loosened and her breathing became heated.
Eun-ha gently took off the clothes Lee Yu-jeong was wearing.
The funny thing was, she who was dazed after a long kiss started unbuttoning his pajamas following him.
Like that, they faced each other without a stitch of clothing─
────.
The two entwined their bodies.
Body heat broke down wariness.
The slowly heated atmosphere made them more active.
The night deepened.
☆
Lee Yu-jeong was Lee Yu-jeong.
That phrase could summarize the night.
"Ah..."
Eun-ha knew where she responded and what she liked.
Moreover, she who couldn't see in front had much more sensitively developed senses than in the previous regression.
He could confirm her reactions changing moment by moment each time.
So it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the long time was a process of awakening her.
"...It's hard."
"Because it's muscle."
For Lee Yu-jeong too, the long time was a time to explore No Eun-ha.
She who was surprised at first experiencing the sensations naturally accepted them as time passed.
"If it feels good, say it feels good."
"Okay... this feels good."
She who honestly accepted the pleasure following Eun-ha's advice whispered in her ear soon learned many things.
As her vision opened like that.
Now she wanted to let Eun-ha know the pleasure she experienced, just as she had.
Her touches became bolder.
While stroking Eun-ha's back, she clumsily stimulated him.
That night, the two learned about each other's hidden corners intimately.
Thus the night passed and─
"─Are you okay?"
"...My body feels achy."
The two greeted the morning.
Lee Yu-jeong who woke up in Eun-ha's arms had an exhausted face.
Eun-ha arranged the hair that flowed down her cheeks for her.
He worried about her physical condition.
Lee Yu-jeong wasn't in a state where she could be said to have good stamina even after drinking elixir.
So Eun-ha tried to relieve the pain with healing magic.
Though it would be insignificant magic compared to supporters' healing magic, it should still have an effect.
"Let's stay like this a little longer. It doesn't hurt that much. I'm okay."
But she snuggled into Eun-ha's arms.
She who refused healing magic tried to feel Eun-ha's warmth as is.
It seemed there was no need to worry greatly.
Eun-ha hugged her tightly.
"Should we eat lunch here?"
"Yeah. It might be nice to eat while getting some fresh air on the balcony."
"Then let's do that."
"I should get ready to wash up after staying like this a little longer."
"Won't those people ask in detail how you spent last night while washing you?"
"Ugh... I hope they don't..."
"From what I saw, they definitely will... There's no way the topic won't come up?"
"Huh?"
"Because the body doesn't lie. There are marks left on your body now."
"...!"
Lee Yu-jeong's face turns bright red.
Soon she lightly hit his chest with powerless fists.
Eun-ha hugged her even more tightly and giggled.
"Is it that bad?"
"Yeah. You didn't know?"
"Really, really, really mean. What should I say to the unnies if it's like this?"
"Just say it felt good yesterday, what else?"
"Ugh... This won't disappear? Family will see it too..."
Eun-ha looked around the room.
It was a battlefield.
That expression came out naturally.
The people who will clean the room later will sigh deeply.
Meanwhile, traces of the war waged last night remained red all over Lee Yu-jeong's body.
"Ugh, I'm embarrassed. What should I do?"
"What do you mean what should you do? Proudly last night..."
"How can you say that?"
"Then should we just wash together?"
"...Huh?"
"You're going to live with me from now on, is it okay to get help from those people every time this happens?"
"I, I can wash by myself... I'll just wash alone."
"Can you move?"
"..."
"Why are you being shy again? Let's go. I should wash my wife."
"Ugh..."
It was a sudden thought but.
It wasn't bad.
A smile spread across Eun-ha's face.
He picked up Lee Yu-jeong in his arms regardless of her protests and headed to the bathroom.
☆
Since the schedule was long this time.
Eun-ha spent time leisurely.
Of course, traveling around Jeju Island was quite troublesome.
The center of Jeju Island had transformed into a red dungeon.
If Eun-ha wanted, he could travel across the red dungeon.
But thinking of Lee Yu-jeong's safety, Eun-ha rode in a car driven by servants and went around the outskirts of Jeju Island.
"Wow, the wind is refreshing. Is it because it's wind blowing from the sea?"
"Yeah. It's refreshing. Yu-jeong, canola flowers are in full bloom down there too."
"Really? Ah, you're right."
"Let's go down. Hold my hand."
"Okay."
All the travel destinations were satisfying.
Jeju Island could be said to be Donghae Group's territory.
Because direct descendants of Donghae Group alienated from group management were living in Jeju Island.
So Eun-ha was able to receive a lot of help from Jung Geum-jeon.
The canola flower field the two came to now was also a famous spot recommended by Jung Geum-jeon.
"They said this whole place is covered in flowers in April, right?"
"That's what Geum-jeon hyung said."
"It would have been nice if we came then, it's a shame we came when the flowers are withering."
"It can't be helped. Let's all come play together next time when we have time."
"Then won't the clan members complain about not working?"
"Then we'll just bring them along too. There are a lot of dungeons here so we can make them conquer dungeons."
"I thought... you were going to say we'd play together but you weren't. The clan members will complain again."
"If you feel wronged, become the Clan Lord."
Yellow canola flowers were spread out.
But it was only a part.
They came when the canola flowers were withering.
The two decided to console themselves with the remaining canola flowers.
"Baek-ryeon liked canola flowers too..."
Then suddenly, Eun-ha muttered.
Ha Baek-ryeon liked yellow.
Among that, she liked yellow canola flowers.
Eun-ha recalled Ha Baek-ryeon at the clan hall.
"We should bring Baek-ryeon later too. She'd really like it..."
"Then let's bring Baek-ryeon then too. But you really like Baek-ryeon? You seem to dote on Baek-ryeon, Eun-ha."
"...She's young. She's like a younger sister too. How pitiful that such a child has to become the Fairy."
"That's true..."
Eun-ha held Lee Yu-jeong's hand.
He recalled memories of the previous regression that were becoming blurry while conversing with her.
For himself and Lee Yu-jeong and Ha Baek-ryeon.
Futures that were incomparably gloomy.
Eun-ha steeled his heart while recalling those futures.
Soon Lee Yu-jeong changed the subject.
"How is the world you're seeing now, Eun-ha? Is it pretty?"
"...It's pretty. The world is yellow."
Lee Yu-jeong asks about the scenery.
Eun-ha told her in detail as she asked.
While doing so, he felt sorry that she couldn't see this scenery.
Then he had a flash of inspiration.
Snap
While staring at the canola flower field.
Eun-ha snapped his fingers.
An improvised magic activated.
For an instant, a strong wind blew.
Canola flower petals scattered.
Then the calmed wind blew to where Eun-ha and Lee Yu-jeong were.
"─How is it?"
"Ah... Some nice fragrance is coming."
It was a shame for the canola flowers that lost their vitality, but.
Eun-ha maximized the fragrance of canola flowers with magic.
And made the canola flower fragrance spread limitedly only to the area where Lee Yu-jeong and himself were.
"The fragrance is nice."
"I'll let you experience many things like this from now on."
"Okay, thank you."
Yellow flower petals flutter in the world.
In that world, Eun-ha and Yu-jeong leaned on each other's shoulders.
Until the magic's effect disappeared.
The two spent a long time smelling the flower fragrance.
"Let's all come together next time for sure."
"Yeah, let's do that."
This must be what happiness is.
To not lose this happiness.
He will continue to move forward from now on.
Eun-ha vowed.
☆
Time passes quickly.
Thus 2 years of time pass.
Year 20 of Seonryeok, Eun-ha turns 25 years old.

☆
Year 20 of Seonryeok.
Many things changed over 2 years.
Gangbuk was completely rebuilt, and a dungeon pioneering boom was actively occurring.
Not just that.
The activities of 3rd generation players starting with the 031&31 batch were continuously increasing.
Golden Generation
A term referring to them had already settled in the world.
And there was only 1 person counted as the undisputed representative leading them.
Pandora Clan Lord.
It was no exaggeration to say he who received clan
It was no exaggeration to say he who received clan grade A+ in just 5 years after founding the clan was currently leading the golden age of 3rd generation players.
Just his presence alone made current public sentiment very stable.
Not just that.
"─It's the prosperity of this country! To think a second Fairy has appeared! This country won't fall even decades later!!"
No matter how much the Fairy government tried, it was only a matter of time before her existence was revealed.
Finally, a media outlet that couldn't hold back the scoop revealed Ha Baek-ryeon's existence to the world, and other media outlets went blind and burst out articles about her one after another.
To this, the Fairy government had no choice but to officially announce Ha Baek-ryeon's existence, and people held festivals.
As Ha Baek-ryeon's existence was revealed, people's patriotism that had risen up from the nightmare of the Seoul Disaster was heightened.
[─Respected citizens.]
So, the Fairy government decided to use this situation.
Im Ga-eul appeared in the media and made an announcement to the nation.
[We all have painful memories. We will never forget the disaster that invaded Seoul.
But that's not the only pain we have. You know about Uijeongbu and the north far away that fell to monsters.
Even before I took office as Fairy, we have continued fighting to recapture that place, and have gained many painful memories because of it.
We have failed many times. Even 14 years ago, we lost precious people in Uijeongbu.
Nevertheless, I dare say we must continue fighting to reclaim the lost land. We must drive out all the monsters up there to create a world without monsters.
So, I want to tell you. To find our lost territory, I will definitely recapture Uijeongbu for a better future for you all.
We are very different now from 14 years ago. We have stronger power than before.
You all know this too.
Since then, we have become stronger and gained the opportunity to grasp a better future.]
Thus the 2nd Uijeongbu Recapture War begins amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the people.
"Yeah, I see."
