성운
“I originally didn’t want to give you an umbrella back then.”
여주
“I’m disappointed, sir. Of course you should cover it up.”
성운
“It’s a joke, a joke. Who’s putting it on whom?”
여주
“Right? Then that’s right..”
여주
“Isn’t that true?”
성운
“You don’t trust me, Lady? I’m even more disappointed in you.”
여주
"Of course I'm joking. How could I not trust you, sir?"
성운
"Has the heroine been playing pranks more? I don't think she used to."
여주
“I learned everything from watching you, old man.”
While we were bickering like that, the old man and I from the past were walking together, holding umbrellas.
성운
[And I'm the type of person who's not good at lying. So sometimes I've even earned hatred for not being able to tell white lies.]
The old man from the past walked and spoke to his past self.
여주
“At that time, I felt a bit sad, but at the same time, I think I became more comfortable with the old man.”
성운
"why?"
여주
“I don’t know about anyone else, but at least you, sir.”
여주
“At least I can trust you, sir.”
여주
“You may have just been saying you were being honest, but to me…”
여주
“It felt like he was comforting me and asking if I could trust him more from now on.”
성운
“As you can see from my diary, I think I became more comfortable with you after reading your answer.”
성운
“I think I felt something a little different.”
성운
“So I wanted to show you this moment today.”
여주
[In my opinion, you seem like a good person. I like people who can't say empty words.]
여주
[If it's someone like that, you can tell if that person is truly sorry to you, grateful to you, or loves you.]
여주
[If someone is good at talking nonsense, I don't trust them because I don't know if they are really telling the truth.]
성운
“Really… I feel touched every time I hear it.”
성운
“I’ve never heard anything like that before.”
성운
“You seem like a good person… Who would have thought that just one word could have such a powerful effect on someone?”
To me, it was just a passing remark.
But it was surprising that it remained so meaningful in someone's memory.
I realized anew that words have great power.
It's just that a carelessly thrown word can fly like a knife to someone.
On the other hand, without me knowing it, my words gave the old man great strength.
It was a good thing for the old man, but I also felt a strange sense of pride.
As I was thinking about this and that, I found myself talking about the weather in the past.
여주
[By the way, is there something bothering you today?]
성운
[Why all of a sudden?]
여주
[It's raining.]
성운
[Why is that?]
여주
[The weather changes depending on the goblin's mood.]
Now that I know that the old man is a spirit, I think it's absurd.
If I didn't know that I had believed the old man to be a goblin all this time, I think I would have laughed.
Besides, I didn't know what was going on, so I looked at the old man who was smiling with a glum expression.
성운
“I honestly didn’t know you thought I was a goblin back then.”
성운
“It was so funny when the goblin story suddenly came up.”
여주
“I didn’t know why the old man was suddenly laughing, and I was just like that.”
여주
“Then you should have just said clearly that you weren’t a goblin.”
성운
“I really didn’t know I’d meet you at the cafe?”
성운
“So I went to a cafe on purpose to avoid running into you, but we ended up meeting again.”
여주
“How much did you miss me that you ran away to a cafe?”
여주
“You said you wanted to see me again and be with me again…”
성운
“It’s different now than it was then! Back then, I just didn’t like you bothering me and talking to me.”
성운
“Because I like you now.”
성운
“It’s true that I want to see you, but what can I do?”
여주
“Sir, how can you live if you like me so much?”
여주
“You have to work too, and you won’t be able to see me then. What are you going to do?”
여주
“It’s just the kind of energy you can take with you to work.”
성운
“But I can’t do it because it’s a promise I made to God.”
성운
“If I could just put my mind to it, I’d throw everything away, but that’s not possible, right?”
여주
“That’s true.”
My past self now realized that the old man was not a goblin and began to protest.
여주
[No, sir, you said it was a goblin. Why are you suddenly changing the subject?]
성운
[I never said I was a goblin. You guessed it and believed it.]
여주
[It's strange... I'm sure you agreed when I said it...]
성운
[I never did that. I just answered the question that followed that statement.]
여주
[No..?]
성운
[Right. Should I show you?]
The old man from the past started to use superpowers.
Light began to shine from the old man's hand and envelop him.
The old man from the past held my hand tightly and looked straight into my eyes as he spoke.
성운
[Okay, hold my hand tight.]
I felt embarrassed for no reason even though the old man wasn't holding my hand right now.
Maybe it was because I remembered how I felt back then, but my heart started pounding.
My head automatically bowed.
성운
“Why are you bowing?”
