A Very Welcome Reunion

Three days had passed since Su-yeong unni's vacation ended.

After she called people in and holed up at the Management Bureau to research the things I'd received from the World Tree, I barely saw her.

So I sometimes went to visit with So-hee, but whenever I poked my head through the door, her already pale skin looked even more lifeless, and dark circles had formed under her eyes.

"Huh? I-I'm fine. This is nothing compared to when I spent a whole month clearing Gates nonstop."

If she'd spent an entire month clearing Gates, what on earth had happened? Had a lot of green Gates appeared or something?

Anyway, after about a week, So-hee had grown quite a bit. More than anything...

"Unni, look. She's grown horns and wings."

"Kya~"

Horns had appeared, and wings had sprouted.

Of course, she was still a hatchling, so both were small, but So-hee could hover in the air with just that little pair of wings...
