  Following Hawa to the end of the hallway, Elina saw the door open automatically. Inside is blue sky and floating white clouds. A young woman sits and works in the middle of green grass. The table she placed in the middle of the grass. Surrounded by strangely floating shelves of goods and equipment, as if there were invisible walls surrounding it.

  Elina looked at the woman typing on the keyboard. She looked a lot like Hawa, her white hair was as shiny as silk. Golden eyes shining brightly with the evening star. What makes her different from Hawa is that she is taller and more mature.

  “Dear Mom~.” Hawa spoke up with a mischievous smile. "There's a lady here who wants to learn your profound knowledge~."

  “Ah!” The woman was startled and looked at both of them. ”Are you Elina from England?”

  "Yes I." Elina nodded slightly.“Welcome to workshop E and Olzug town.” The woman left her desk. She walked over to shake the female doctor's hand with a friendly smile. “I am Evelina Cleverwork, the manager of this workshop. Nice to meet you."

  “Me too, Professor Cleverwork.” Elina also shook hands in response.

  “Just call me Evelina.”

  Evelina smiled gently in response. The atmosphere around her was a complete contrast to Hawa's. The peace radiating from her gentle voice and the gentle smile on her face made Elina feel more at peace than ever. Even though she looked a bit younger than herself, Elina felt like she was talking to an older sister, not someone her own age.

  “In the message, you said you wanted to learn more about the Magic Tool, right?” Evelina wanted to confirm the reason for this meeting.

  “Yes, that's true!” The female doctor answered excitedly.

  “It's been a while since I've taught someone in person instead of through a computer.” The female professor nodded in agreement. ”It will take quite a while to get all the instructions. So do you want to stay somewhere here temporarily or can I help pick you up?”

  “I will probably stay here temporarily, because my residence is quite far away.” Elina laughed it off and scratched her cheek.

  “Ah, you don't have to worry about that~.”

  Saying that, Evelina walked towards an invisible wall. The hand presses a virtual keyboard in the air. After entering the address on the keyboard, a Portal appears next to the device!

  “Eh!” Elina was startled to see that on the other side of Portal's purple aura was Allan's door!

  “If you just text or call me, I can pick you up~.” Evelina smiled gently in response to her surprised student.

  “… Then from now on, please take care of me, professor.” The female doctor brushed her hair behind her ear to regain composure.

  “Hope we will get along in the future~.” Evelina replied with a smile after pressing the button to turn off Portal.

  “Hmhmhm, be honored to have my dear mother directly share her knowledge with you~.” Hawa put his hand in front of him and giggled.

  “Stop teasing her, Hawa.” Evelina's eyes fluttered as she turned towards her daughter.

  “Yes, as you wish ~.”

  Hawa gently turned around and walked towards the door. After a few steps, the robot girl suddenly stopped. She pulled down the zip on her collar, and took out a smartphone that was stored between her chest.

  “Ah, my two brothers and cousin are here~.” Hawa danced after looking at the phone screen.

  “Then you should meet them. The work here can be handled by my mother's and your father's assistants.” Hearing her daughter's words, Evelina smiled gently and replied. “It's not every day they come.”

  “So thanks mom.” The female robot giggled as she held the phone in both hands and placed it behind her back. “Even mom, remember to come to the main house early to eat with the family! The party table would not be complete without people!

  "Of course."

  The robot girl bounced and ran away from Evelina's lungs. In the long hallway filled with the sound of a little girl's footsteps, a man walked by. A tall man with short blond hair caught sight of him.

  “Oh, where are you going in such a hurry?” He asked curiously with a friendly smile.

  “The two brothers have arrived and the cousin has arrived!” Hawa still runs without slowing down. But she gave a thumbs up with an excited smile.

  “Hoh, it's early~.” That man also opened his eyes wide and smiled happily at that news.

  --- Outside E's workshop, on Olzug town road ---

  “Oh… this place is completely different from underground!”

  The bunny-eared girl walked out of Portal, her white hair tied into two cute tails. Her eyes lit up, her mouth opened wide in surprise. Like a bird released from a cage, she bounced and spun around full of excitement.

  Before her eyes, this town in the air was airy and different from the city on the ground. Residents with a different appearance on the ground go back and forth, extremely bustling and stagnant. She breathed deeply, enjoying the cool breeze filled with the scent of fresh grass.

  “You dropped this coat.”

  Joker followed, picking up the jacket that fell from the bunny-eared girl. He frowned, brushing the dust off his shirt.

  “Don't bounce around so much that your coat falls off.” Joker complained as he handed over his jacket.

  “Thank you, Joker~.” She wore the shirt, avoiding the shoulder with the tattoo.

  “Oi, master~.”

  A cry rang out, followed by a young Orc man. That boy looked about the same age as Joker, wearing iron armor. He waved and walked over.

  “…” Joker replied with silence.

  “It looks like the master is still in good health~.” The Orc boy patted Joker's shoulder, looking at the rabbit-eared girl. ”And I was a little surprised to see who was with you.”

  "…About what?" Joker frowned.

  “The master agreed to go with a girlfriend that no one knew or heard of. Isn't that strange?" That Orc looked at Joker, grinning.

  “Whatever you think.” Joker replied with an expressionless face.

  “I am Grak The Blessed, son of Warchief Ownka.”

  Grak approached and shook the bunny-eared woman's hand. As soon as his hands clasped each other, his smile stopped. The solidity of the bones in the opponent's slender hand was beyond the Orc boy's imagination!

  “…And you are?” After a moment of regaining his composure and smiling, the Orc boy asked.

  “Jarek, Joker's friend.” Jarek smiled brightly as he gently shook Grak's hand. She raised her other hand to indicate ok. ”And we're dating~.”

  “Master, please refute!” Grak turned his head to Joker, grinning smugly.

  “I come here every week as usual. Because you were curious, I brought you along.” Joker shrugged and sighed. "I'm not sure if this can be called a date..."

  “And why do you call Joker master?” Jarek wiggled his rabbit ears, smiling curiously.

  “Eh, he didn't tell anything?” Grak's eyes widened when he heard that.

  “Other than the fact that he sells ramen, I don't know much.” The female Shapechanger shook her head in response.

  “Now I'm curious how my scowling master caught your eye.” The Orc boy rubbed his chin with a satisfied smile. “By the way, if you like, I can help you tour the town of Olzug. How do you feel?”

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  “Can I tour this place?” Jarek looked at Joker and asked for his opinion.

  “I have no right to ban you.” Joker took the phone out of his pocket and started swiping the screen.

  “Hahah, no right.” Grak laughed loudly.

  “Then let me lead the way, Grak.” Jarek replied cheerfully.

  “Then we'll go to the market first, see if there's anything you like~.”

  Grak walked ahead as a Tour Guide with the bunny-eared Shapechanger girl following behind. After he was alone, Joker raised his eyes to look at the castle. A complicated feeling filled his chest. From the moment he set foot on this land in the clouds, ugly emotions welled up inside him. Anxiety, stress, anger, mixed with sadness, they were competing to surround his mind. Even so, Joker has gotten used to it over the past few years, enough to live in that suffocation without suffocating to death.

  “Yoh, handsome sir~.”

  A voice spoke up with a pat on the shoulder from behind Joker. When he turned his head, his cheek was touched by that girl's index finger. The owner of that voice was a young girl with long, shiny golden hair.

  “Why is a handsome guy so lonely here?”

  The blonde girl smiled as sweet as honey. With her body's curves accentuated by her tight outfit, she moved closer to Joker.

  “Leave me alone…” Joker's eyebrows almost formed a straight line. He said and walked away.

  “Come on, don't be so cold~.” The girl smiled, put her hands behind her back and followed.

  Bang

  “…Eh?”

  The sound of the wind exploding under strong pressure. The girl blinked a few times then looked down, a steel wand was stuck in her thigh!

  “Ouch ouch ouch!” She hugged her thigh, her other leg jumping and screaming from the sudden injury. “Why did you do that!”

  “I don't think any normal person would want to approach me.” Joker frowned after putting the hand that shot the chopsticks back into his pocket, his nose snorted a few times. ”Saga.”

  “…Revealed?”

  The girl giggled. Light covered her entire body, her figure gradually transformed. The increased height is slightly larger than the Joker's forehead, wider shoulders, and shorter hair that only reaches past the shoulders. The tight suit has been replaced by a gold-trimmed jacket that looks extremely sophisticated and expensive.

  “Yo~.” The light dissipated, a guy with a good-looking face appeared. His smile was full of confidence but very friendly. ”Still as healthy as ever, Jozo ~.”

  “…” Joker was silent and turned away. He strode and dialed his phone without paying much attention.

  “But where do you play chopsticks!” The young man who appeared to be around the same age called Saga ran back. He patted Joker on the shoulder, grinning. In one hand, he held the steel chopstick and rotated it as if the wound on his leg did not exist.

  “What are you planning to do with that female guise?” the black haired boy said with a frown on his face.

  “It helps you know the female body a little~.”

  Saga raised his hand to indicate ok then used his other index finger to insert it. In response to that, Joker looked at the opponent like something smelly or diseased. He walked faster just to get as far away from the blond young man!

  “Look, I just want to help you, little brother~.” Saga also quickly followed behind and spoke in a pleading tone. “That will help me be more confident in myself and help me feel more comfortable in exploring relationships!”

  “That doesn't sound very convincing to someone who likes to use the lower end.” The black-haired boy walked without slowing down at all.

  “There's no need to frown, I'm simply being true to myself~.” The blonde young man's smile became more forced, his hands clasped as if both bowing and apologizing.

  “Ah, Saga, Joker~.”

  Walking for a while with Saga following, Joker encountered a young girl saying hello in joy. She was a small girl with long white hair tied into two tails with ribbons, looking like a rabbit. The girl's sapphire blue eyes seemed to light up when she saw the two boys.

  “Yo, Albina~.” Saga smiled cheerfully and waved. He walked in front of Joker and then approached the girl who looked somewhat younger than both boys. "Today you're still as cute as a bunny~."

  “Eheheh, thank you.” Albina put her hand in front of her mouth and giggled. "You're still full of energy today~."

  “Of course, you are always very handsome and loving ~.” The boy stroked his blond hair, smiling, showing off his shiny white teeth proudly.

  “... Are you doing okay with your studies these days?” Joker stared and asked.

  “A bit busy at first due to exam season, but still going smoothly.” The young girl nodded slightly, her gentle smile unchanged. “After this semester, I will graduate from college ~.”

  “Going through the levels so quickly.” The black-haired boy took a nap, his voice softened, no longer angry or tense. ”Remember to get enough rest.”

  "Sure." Albina smiled as she held her hands behind her back, leaning forward to look at Joker's face. “You look more relaxed than usual, is there something funny?”

  “…Huh?” Joker blinked a few times, his jaw stiffened when he heard that question.

  “Oh, you noticed too?” Saga rubbed his chin, his smirk full of meaning.

  “You think so too!” Albina replied excitedly, she turned to Joker and stepped closer. ”Tell me!”

  “…”

  Joker felt extremely conflicted by the comments of the two of them. For this black-haired boy, his mind is currently a mess as he is not sure how to proceed with Jarek. The only thing he can look forward to now is when he will get stronger, as well as how his strength will change! Another thing that makes Joker somewhat relieved is that the misunderstanding with his old friend Yong has been resolved.

  “…Maybe because I just improved my Raw Magic a bit.” Joker thought of the most practical thing but also avoided dragging them deeper into his personal troubles.

  “Eh! Really!" Albina's eyes seemed to light up, she smiled brightly at that answer.

  “Like what!” Saga also approached, his eyes looked like someone who was about to witness a great event!

  “… Well, not something very grand.” Joker sighed.

  “Let me see!” Saga urged.

  “I also want to know!” Albina walked closer to Joker. His eyes looked up like a child waiting for a magic show.

  “…Don't expect it too much.” The black haired boy said then pointed his index finger at his other hand.

  Bang

  Albina and Saga were startled when they saw the chopsticks pierce Joker's palm. They didn't understand what was going on as blood flowed from the hole in the boy's hand. When planning to ask and help with first aid, Joker raised his other hand to block in front of them, his mouth starting to count down from 10.

  “2…1…0.” After counting, Joker took out a wet tissue to wipe away the blood. He raised the hand that was shot through with the chopsticks, it no longer had a hole in it. “Healed.”

  “Oh!” Albina's eyes widened when she saw that supernatural phenomenon. But she grabbed Joker's hand and looked at it. “But… don't you feel pain?”

  “…Everything always recovers perfectly, with no time to get hurt.” The black-haired boy chose words of reassurance.

  “That won't work!” Albina spoke louder. “If you get used to that, you will ignore your health and pain. I don't want you to become indifferent to yourself!”

  “…” Joker was speechless for a moment with his sister's disagreement.

  “She's right.” Saga placed his hand on Joker's shoulder. Although his mouth was still smiling, his eyebrows were down. "Addiction to pain is not good~."

  "…Alright."

  Joker withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket. The reaction of the two of them made him a bit disappointed. His chest became heavier, the chaos in his mind became more and more confused. It makes him wonder if his efforts are still not enough or where did he go wrong?

  “But, it's good that you have that strength.” At that moment, a smile of relief appeared on Albina's lips. “So, Joker won't have to get sick. You live alone so I'm worried it will be difficult for you to take care of yourself."

  “You worry too much.” Joker sighed. Although still uncomfortable, the white-haired girl's reassuring expression also helped him calm down somewhat.

  “But when you think about it… it would be very convenient if it were possible. Selling blood, organs, and body parts is not a bad idea. While indirectly helping people, it also fills your pockets!” Saga walked around, his hands making movements to illustrate a knife, a blood transfusion tube, then a coin into his hand.

  “Actually, I already did.” Joker replied with a thud.

  “Ugly!” Saga became even more excited with the answer.

  “But… if you recover continuously like that, how will they operate!” Albina pursed her lips at the black-haired boy.

  “Continuous use of anesthesia is not a big problem.” Joker shrugged and tilted his head slightly to the side.

  “Hahah, looks like the doctors have a hard time too ~.” The blonde boy burst out laughing.

  “That powerful ability must be inconvenient for you…” Albina said with her hands clenched in front of her chest.

  “I'm fine.” the black haired boy replied. “No need to drink and sleep anymore ~.”

  “…Even though it sounds fine, I still feel like it's wrong somewhere.” The white-haired girl closed her eyes tightly, rubbing her temples with her fingers when Joker's problem was too complicated.

  “I want you to worry less~.” At that moment, the corner of Joker's mouth moved up a little. "Stop thinking about it and you'll get better."

  “E-even so!” Albina spoke hesitantly, not knowing how to choose her words. Her hands clenched her skirt and then she spoke louder, breaking through her hesitation and confusion. "If there are any difficulties, I'm always ready to listen!"

  "Of course." Joker took a nap and replied casually.

  “Don't forget your trustworthy and gallant brother~.” Saga tilted his head to the side, his index finger pointing to the side of his mouth, smiling and showing off his teeth.

  “Okay then.” Joker sighed and answered politely.
