We were sent off by the farm members and headed to the dimensional gate to move on to the Human world.
Lia showed great nervousness looking at the gate.
“Are you all right, Lia?”
“Ugh! I’m alright. I’m a bit nervous when I think that I’ll be leaving the Demon world and will be going to another world.”
The children approached Lia, who was shaking a little.
“It’s okay, Popi! You just have to trust us, popi!”
– Pow wo wooo.
Gyuri and Akum, who became familiar with Dimensional Gate, spoke confidently and showed a proud attitude.
I had a sneaky laugh looking at the children’s childish behavior.
Speranza quietly approached Lia and held her hand tightly.
Speranza smiled at Lia, who had a slightly surprised look.
Perhaps because of Speranza’s little hand holding her, a slight smile lingered on Lia’s face, and the tremors all over her body subsided.
“Shall we move on now?”
“Th…that!”
“Is something wrong, Lia?”
“If you don’t mind… Can I hold Sihyeon’s hand?”
Lia reached out to her hands, while her face started turning red.
I stared blankly at the hand for a moment, then smiled and held it.
She smiled shyly as our hands connected.
“Me too! I want to hold hands too, Popi!”
– Pow wooo! wooooo!
You little punks…
With a look of helplessness, I held Akum with one hand, and Speranza held out one hand for Gyuri.
As we all held our hands together like this, a satisfied smile filled the face of the children.
“Shall we go now?”
“Yes, Sihyeon!”
“Yes Papa!”
“Let’s go, Popi!”
-Pow wo wooo!
With everyone’s powerful answer, we took a step toward the dimensional gate.
As soon as we crossed the Dimensional Gate, Ryan greeted us.
“Welcome. Little buddies, and Lia, welcome.”
The children smiled brightly and waved at Ryan’s greeting.
Lia replied with an awkward look.
“Thank you for welcoming me, Ry… Ryan.”
“Hahaha! Please come this way.”
Following his lead, we opened the door and headed to the office.
As before, Ashmir and Director Lee were waiting there.
The two people who greeted me briefly immediately turned to Lia.
Ashmir, who had been looking for a while, went to Lia.
“Is this the person who is going to perform the mission with Sihyeon?”
“Yes, she’s Lia, who’s been helping me in the Demon world.”
“Ummm…”
Not only Lia but also the children behind me looked nervous at Ashmir’s expression.
“Can you give me your hand for a moment?”
“Huh…? Oh, yes!”
Lia pushed out one hand in a hurry.
As Ashmir clasped her hand on the back of Lia’s hand, white light poured out from there.
After a while, a subtle light appeared on the back of Lia’s hand, where the light had disappeared.
“This pattern will last for the promised number of days. As long as this exists, you are free to be here. But please be aware that as soon as the pattern on the back of your hand disappears, the surveillance team’s pursuit will begin.”
Ashmir explained about the pattern like a robot.
Then she turned away from the blank-faced Lia and looked at the children hiding behind me.
-FLINCH!
The children who were still afraid of her shivered and hid further behind me.
“I’m done with my work, so I’ll be on my way. If you have any problems, please contact the contact number I gave you last time. Then, I’ll take my leave…”
Ashmir, who looked at the children for a moment, left the place as soon as her work was done.
She was a burdensome character in many ways, so it was rather comfortable this way.
After Ashmir left, Director Lee stepped forward this time.
He greeted Lia in a courteous manner.
“Hello! My name is Lee Seok, and I’m the head of the dimensional management headquarters.”
Lia looked perplexed at his greeting.
“Excuse me, Sihyeon. I don’t understand what he’s saying. By any chance, is he greeting me?”
“Oh! I forgot. Sihyeon, can you give the translator ring you have to Lia?”
“Okay. Lia put this.”
I quickly handed Lia, the translator ring I had on my hand.
As soon as she wore the interpreter ring, she was able to communicate smoothly with Director Lee.
“Miss. Lia, please take this first.”
“What is this…?”
“This is a temporary alien registration card. You can use it while you’re here and return it later.”
Lia gleamed her eyes curiously at her ID.
“Sihyeon! Sihyeon! Look at this. Here’s my face.”
When it was confirmed that Lia will be coming to Korea, we sent her picture in advance at the request of Director Lee.
There was a slight change in the photo on the ID card.
The big horns that had grown on her head had been neatly erased.
Without her horns, she looked like an ordinary foreigner.
“Maybe Mr.Sihyeon might know this already, still, I will say it since it’s my duty. Please hide her identity as much as possible. Of course, please refrain her from using her abilities in crowded places. Also…”
Director Lee explained to me some things to watch out for while Lia was staying here.
In the meantime, Lia showed off her ID card to the children.
“If you just keep an eye on what I just said, it won’t be a problem. If you have any problems, please contact me right away. I’ll take care of it.”
“Thank you for your concern, Director Lee.”
“Of course, it’s my job. By the way…”
He came close to me and whispered in a low voice that was hard for others to hear.
