Episode 344
[Rookies step forward to recapture the Volterra region.]
[Three legendary disciples! Joint attack!]
[Shin’an Shoichi “I’m glad to be back together with Eliza.” Remarks!]
All of Italy was excited at the news that the top hunters had arrived to recapture the Volterra region.
In particular, the fact that Shin Yoo-seong, a disciple of Kwon, Adela, the granddaughter of Aden, and Lorelai, a disciple of the witch, gathered in one raid team was what drew more attention than the upper-ranking 6th-level hunters.
Anger-!
Shin Yoo-sung and Adela could feel its popularity as soon as they came out of the blue portal zone.
“I will never forget your courage. please! Please protect Volterra!”
“Miss Adela! cheer up!”
“I will pray for your safety until the attack is over!”
Volterra’s portal zone, which should now be quiet due to Lewis’ invasion, was filled with crowds of people who had gathered to support the raiding party.
The number of people who came to welcome Eliza and Shoichi, who were the leaders of the raiding party, was not even this high.
Wow-!
Adela, who was walking amidst the shouts of many people, stopped short of walking through the crowd.
‘Cheer up…’
Adela was the granddaughter of the legend.
He was an up-and-coming star who won first place in Gaon, one of the best academies, and a rookie loved by Italy.
So, it wasn’t the first time that so many people cheered for him.
Still, today was different.
reunion with parents.
Life with Velvet.
The time in less than half a year completely changed Adela.
throbbing.
Adela’s heart skipped a beat at the people’s shouts and shouts. The concerted cheering of the huge crowd made the entire portal zone vibrate.
As Yuseong Shin said, Adela was not alone. So many people were cheering for Adela’s courage. Adela was the hope of so many people.
Only then did Adela realize something and smiled.
Shin Yoo-seong was so strong, that he was able to continue to be strong to protect something precious, this is what it meant.
Emotions were like this. The sound of the crowd shouting, which was nothing more than a loud noise, made Adela’s heart beat and encouraged her.
The achromatic world was full of many colors.
“Emotions are… something like this.”
At Adela’s muttering, which stopped her steps, the crowd stopped chanting as promised.
“Adela?”
Shin Yooseong looked at Adela.
A large crowd also saw Adela. Adela was the main character everyone was paying attention to in this vast portal zone.
“There’s something I really… want to say to you right now.”
Shin Yoo-sung and In-pa both intuited the change in Adela. Adela was no longer an ice-cold empress. Adela, speaking out, was trying to calm her emotions with her pupils wider than usual.
Adela seemed afraid of change. He was at a loss for what to do with his beating heart and the hot warmth that surprised even him.
Adela put her hand on her chest and suppressed her rising emotions as she opened her mouth.
“…I thought emotions were useless until I met you.”
The voice of the Ice Empress resounded in the quiet portal zone. But Adela’s expression was no longer expressionless, and her voice was no longer cold.
“Why did you think that?”
At Shin Yoo-seong’s kind question, Adela smiled. In order to answer the reason, where should I start talking?
Maybe it was because he loved his parents so much? Or maybe it’s because we had so much fun that we wanted to go back to those days?
If not, would it be because I miss those two so much that my heart hurts?
But no matter how many answers she could think of, Adela couldn’t pick one.
“Emotions hurt me, wear me out… and make me miss them.”
Unable to bear the sadness, Adela was willing to give up other emotions. Even if he ate delicious food, reunited with his only blood relative, Aden, and achieved his goal, he was not happy.
In a way, it was very fair.
In an achromatic world full of gray, no one gets hurt. Giving up joy can also make you insensitive to sadness.
“So I was able to give up everything. If you forget joy, you won’t miss it, and if you don’t miss it, you won’t be sad.”
Some of the crowd listening to the story shed tears, but the person in question, Adela, was calm as if she were talking about someone else.
“But… if I painted the world gray in order not to be sad, I wouldn’t have known it my whole life.”
Rather, with a very calm expression, he put Shin Yoo-seong’s hand on his cheek and said while feeling its warmth.
“…how warm your hands are. How fragrant are the petals of spring. And… how cute the velvet is…”
Adela smiled and looked up at Yoosung Shin. Adela’s eyes, which were larger than usual, contained only Shin Yoosung.
“Of course… Emotions terrify me. When I think of Volterra… the cold seemed to come back.”
Taking Shin Yoo-seong’s hand off her cheek, Adela looked around. There were so many people cheering him on that he was scared and gave up because of the single fear of being a witch.
“But… Emotions give me courage. It makes me want to protect the people who support me… and reminds me that I’m not… alone anymore.”
Shin Yoo-seong was the one who informed Adela of her feelings. He was the one who brought joy. What would be scary if Shin Yoo-seong was with him?
“I want to spend my whole life with you.”
At Adela’s candid confession, Yoosung Shin laughed as he clasped each other’s hands together with a face of course.
“So do i. Adela, I want to be with you forever.”
Of course, Adela’s confession was never meant to be rational. Adela’s words had many implications.
However, it was unknown whether those who watched this scene would accept it that way.
“Ah Miss Adela…”
“Propose to the King’s apprentice in public!”
“This is the scoop among scoops!”
Sure enough, when the flashes of the waiting reporters started to burst out, the crowd gathered in the portal zone chanted the names of Yuseong Shin and Adela and shouted.
It is as if the relationship between Shin Yoo-seong and Adela has become an established fact.

The news of the Lewis raid was one of the major events that made headlines in many countries.
Thanks to this, Kim Eun-ah, who was watching the live broadcast of Portal Zone on the screen, was pulled back by Adela’s shocking confession.
It was said that a calm cat would go up to the stove first, but before the attack, Adela suddenly made a public confession.
“No-!”
Kim Eun-ah hit the table and became furious at Adela’s actions, not knowing whether she went to attack the witch or Shin Yoo-seong.
bang-!
“Is it like this as soon as you go!”
On the other hand, Sumire was sobbing, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief as if Adela’s story had touched her heart.
“Mr. Adela’s story is so… touching.”
“Is that important now!? After worrying all day, he suddenly confesses when he goes to attack!”
Sumire, who had already heard the story from Shin Yoo-seong, was puzzled by Eun-ah Kim’s reaction. It was the same with Kim Eun-ah who took Shin Yoo-seong to the aquarium and confessed first. On the contrary, it could be said that the crime was even greater because they took away even the lips by force.
However, Sumire was able to understand everyone with her broad tolerance.
“I’m fine…. As much as I love you, I know what Yoosung means to you both.”
Of course, Sumire had no intention of conceding or giving up Shin Yuseong. She had a strong pride in being the first to like Shin Yoo-seong no matter what anyone said.
“You are playing! At this rate, the three of us will hold hands and get married!?”
From Kim Eun-ah’s point of view, it was a sarcastic remark, but Sumire smiled rather leisurely.
“If that happens~ I will be able to see Eun-ah and Adela for the rest of my life.”
“Uh… Huh?”
Kim Eun-ah couldn’t help but laugh at Sumire’s madness that she wouldn’t dare to touch.

A legend in the financial world.
Kim Seok-han, chairman of Shinsung Group, was a man who lived by the saying [time is money]. However, even Kim Seok-han had no choice but to keep an eye on the news of Gaon’s raiding party to which Kim Eun-ah belonged.
“oh my! This guy is good… How dare you leave our Eun-ah!”
Thanks to this, Kim Seok-han, who watched Adela’s confession to Shin Yoo-seong with both eyes open, fell down holding the back of his neck. Shin Yoo-seong’s goodwill towards the party members unintentionally made several victims.

The summit of Mt.
Even the oxygen is scarce, so even the few hunters find it difficult to set foot here.
“Are you Aden today?”
A few days ago, Alice, the witch, came and talked about Lorelei and Lovesick for a long time, so the work at Yuwon School was disrupted.
“It’s nice to have a look, but it’s the day I just caught the sky whale that I’ve been looking for so long, so if I interrupted…”
However, Aden smiled happily and shook his hand despite Yuwonhak’s threats.
“What is the hindrance! Today is the day my granddaughter and your student got married, so a sky whale would be a perfect snack for a toast!”
Yoo Won-hak thought as he sliced the house-sized sky whale with his hand blade without a common butchering knife.
What the hell is this guy doing to Yooseong, why is he fighting this kind of evil everywhere he goes?
Even his surroundings were already intertwined with Aris’ disciple, Lorelei, and Aden’s only granddaughter, Adela.
Even before he descended Mt. Musin, he thought that he resembled him in terms of his outstanding skills and smart appearance, but seeing that he was doing things out of control everywhere he went, his relationship with women was the exact opposite of himself.
It was only after this that Aris came to visit and made fun of herself.
‘…Yooseong is this guy. What the hell are you doing?’
