‘Wear it. Don’t just hang it on your neck.’
The words Riley said, played in her head again and again. After many times, Nainiae closed her eyes when she heard Abyss told them to close their eyes now.
‘If we go over… if we go over… more than before, more than now, for young master…’
Nainiae held the silver ring she received from Riley in her hand and listened to Abyss with her eyes closed.
“…when you open your eyes again, before your eyes.”
Nainiae felt some special energy, which couldn’t be said to be mana, was spreading widely from Abyss. When she couldn’t hear his voice anymore, she opened her closed eyes.
“…”
“How about the game room after school today?”
“Hey, Cole!”
“Just trust me and follow me. I’ll win everything.”
“Again, I lost to Heo Eon-byeong again. That one.”
The scenery, which seemed to be completely reversed despite just closing and opening its eyes, boasted a different atmosphere as if it was a dream.
Here…
As Nainiae was absentmindedly checking her surroundings, voices were heard stuttering beside her as if they were perplexed.
“Th, this, what the hell…”
“Are… are we here?”
Two voices were heard.
One belonged to an old man and the other belonged to a girl.
“Mr. Ian, Ms. Priesia.”
“Ah, Nainiae.”
“We, we are here, right?”
When she was asked if it’s true that they came to the ‘world where Riley lived’, Nainiae scanned her surroundings and the people here then nodded.
“Yes, maybe… it’s the same as the scenery I remember.”
After confirming that the scenery was the same as those of Riley’s previous life, Nainiae suddenly tilted her head with a question mark on her face.
“What about the others?”
“Hmm?”
Ian, who looked blankly at the scenery, also began to look around with a question mark like her.
“Come to think of it…”
As Priesia saw only two familiar faces, her lips began to tremble as if in a panic.
“Why… are there only three of us?”
Riley and Abyss… and seven parts. Until she closed her eyes, nine people were standing around, but when she opened her eyes again, for some reason she could only see two people.
“Somehow… it seems to be scattered.”
Without any delay, Nainiae gave strength to her right eye. She began to use her ability to look for Riley and the rest of the group that Priesia thought of.
“…ugh!”
Only the approximate location was confirmed. Nainiae, who wasn’t able to confirm in detail, frowned in pain in her right eye. Priesia approached her and used her divine power.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I am okay.”
When Nainiae replied that she was okay and pushed Priesia away, the people passing by around them began to mumble.
“Hey, look over there.”
“Are they capable people?”
[Note: Capable person = A person who has the ability or skill to do something. A talented person.]
“Why are they dressed up like that?”
Nainiae, who was holding her right eye, looked at Priesia and Ian’s clothes as the people looked at them and gossiped about whether they were ‘capable people’.
These clothes… It might stand out.
This was because people wearing clothes called suits or school uniforms were gossiping at them.
“Why do people look a little bit…”
“It’s like they’re looking at a suspicious person…”
Priesia and Ian also noticed something strange and looked at Nainiae with signs of uneasiness and gave her a look, asking what to do.
“Maybe… it’s probably because of the clothes.”
“Clothes?”
