Splash!!

Add and got up immediately because he suddenly became drenched in water.

“Phwa! Just where is this place…..?”

Eun set the Time Space Coordinates and sent him to this time without explaining anything to Add.

Add realized that he had just fallen into a river and shook his head to dry off the water.

Surface of the water shined beautifully as the sun shined upon it.

“This is….”

This place seemed strangely familiar. As Add muttered, he suddenly realized that back of his head was prickling. He could feel people’s presence behind him.

“Just what….?”

With his entire body soaked wet with water, Add muttered as he swung his Dynamos around to look back. First, he should find out current time and information and then……

 

He locked eyes with three girls.

That weren’t wearing anything.

 

Add numbly let out a groan because of all the bright skin in front of his eyes. His brain’s processing speed couldn’t keep up with all this messy information that just got scattered across his brain.

“…..Huh?”

Three girls were staring at him with a stifled expression. Why were they looking at him like that when they were the ones who weren’t wearing anything? Add was about to glare back at

them…..then realized that these girls looked very familiar.

Actually, he should have recognized sooner.

Since they were Rena, Ara and Eve.

“…..”

 

Add was so shocked from the naked girls in front of him that his situation assessment slowed down.

The fact that these three girls were people he knew confused him even more. Add froze up in his spot.

What should I say? What should I do? He couldn’t figure anything out. The three girls were also frozen from Add’s sudden appearance. They didn’t even move a finger.

Extremely awkward silence.

“Ugh…..”

Just when Add couldn’t stand the silence anymore and let out a painful groan, the girls who were mindlessly blinking until now slowly started to move.

“Kiiiiiiiiiyyyyyah!!! M, Mr.Add?!”

“Moby, to battle mode.”

Add also abruptly came to his senses after seeing reactions of Ara who let out a high pitched scream and Eve who coldly operated her gears.

“What!! Why are you screaming?! You sent me here!!”

The Time Space Coordinates Eun sets up didn’t just determine which time he traveled to. It also determined the exact place.

Thus, Add appearing right here should have been Eun’s doing.

“Umm, Add…..”

Just when Add who had fallen into this helpless situation was trying to protest to Ara, more accurately to Eun……. He heard a chilling voice

“I’ll hear your excuse later.”

Pew! Add instantly sensed danger and quickly tried to move his Dynamos. But the pain came first.

“Kugh!”

Add let out a short scream as his body started to fly backwards. Add finally realized what time this was.

It was the day when they defeated Banthus who was commanding Nasod Miners. Second day since the El Search Party was formed. The day when Add encountered Eun for the first time.

That was far as Add could think as he absentmindedly flew across after being hit by an arrow.

Splash!!

 

 

“Add numbly let out a groan because of all the bright skin

in front of his eyes.”

 

Add could see the night sky when he opened his eyes. His chest hurt as if it was about to shatter.

“….Owww.”

“Are you awake?”

A soft voice was heard amidst the sound of burning campfire. Add was hesitant to move his body so he just moved his eyes to look beside him.

Rena sat modestly across the campfire between them. Of course, she was wearing clothes.

“…..”

Add immediately tried to get up as he recalled the shocking scene before he passed out but was forced to grab on to his chest. His chest hurt whenever he moved.

“Ah, sorry. Did I overdo it?”

“……This is nothing.”

Add sat up and looked around while he rubbed his chest. There were only two of them in the vicinity. There was a campfire in front of him but this wasn’t their campsite.

“I thought we should talk separately.”

Rena noticed Add looking confused and explained. She must have separated Add from rest of the group while he was unconscious.

Well of course, you couldn’t keep the molester and his victims in one spot.

Add was dumbfounded after logically understanding his current situation. He came here because Eun had told him to……and suddenly got accused of being a molester.

Never mind saving Eve, he was about to get kicked out of the El Search Party.

“W, Wait, this isn’t what it looks like!”

“Hmm? What is?”

“That’s……”

Add was about to explain his situation but saw Rena’s face lit by the campfire’s light and couldn’t continue his words. She looked very beautiful with side of her face reddened by the fire…but that wasn’t important right now…. Add wasn’t able to explain his case.

I unwillingly became a molester because I was time traveling. I’m sorry! ……Who’d believe such an explanation?

 

Rena waited quietly for Add who was hesitating to speak. Add bit his lower lip seeing Rena wait for him like this. Rena granting Add a chance to explain himself was already huge gesture of generosity on her part.

 

Since the El Search Party was…. group that had just formed yesterday.

Tracking and catching Banthus together, accepting Elder Citizens’ request and attacking Wally’s Castle together were all events that didn’t exist anymore.

They might as well be complete strangers.

 

And Add really didn’t like this fact. Add lowered his head and apologized with a vexed voice.

“…..It wasn’t on purpose but I’ll apologize.”

“Mmhmm, why did you do it?”

Rena didn’t threaten or shout about how he should give her a proper explanation. Well, to separate him and ask calmly like this…..this was the normal response for Rena Add had known.

But Add wasn’t in a great mood at the moment so his tone became rough.

“I said I apologize.”

“Add, I asked you why.”

Rena’s voice was extremely soft. She was also a victim yet her tone sounded like she didn’t mind that fact at all.

Add had already known he wasn’t in any position to speak so roughly. He couldn’t continue to act angry when Rena tried to coax him with a smooth tone like this.

“It’s difficult to explain.”

“Then could you explain more easily?”

“I told you it was difficult to explain. Why are you being so persistent?”

Add knew he wasn’t in any position to get angry but still couldn’t stop his rage from building up.

Add’s tone became rough again.

“Shouldn’t you just kick out someone who committed a grave crime like this? Others should be angry at me as well.”

 

“No one said such things.”

Rena still replied calmly. Add didn’t like her optimistic attitude so he stood up while grinding his teeth.

“Kukuk, then it should be over if I just leave now.”

All he had to do was beat Ara, no Eun up into pulp and hear her reasons. Then he can time travel again. He had no reason to waste his time with this useless conversation.

Add collected his Dynamos and was about to turn around when he heard an unexpected reply.

“Hmm, you can’t do that.”

“What?”

“I won’t allow you to quit like this.”

Rena shook her head resolutely.

Wasn’t it normal to kick out someone who did something indecent to his fellow party members?

Could it be that not only Nasods but humans also became immoral as the time passed?

At a loss for words, Add stared at Rena but her decision did not change.

“If Add really wanted to do such things he would have done his best not to get caught.”

“……”

Well she was probably right? Nasods bathing? It was rather interesting research subject when you thought about it.

“But only with that belief….”

“If you really don’t want to tell me why, then try talking to Eve and Ara as well. And tell me if you still want to quit the El Search Party after that.”

Rena drew the line clearly with a tone that said she didn’t want to hear any excuses. She plainly stared at Add….. Add felt uncomfortable even though she wasn’t glaring at him.

Her words contained a resolve that she won’t allow him to decline.

“Let’s have this talk again if you still want to quit after talking to the two of them.”

“….Kukuk, and if I refuse?”

Will she try to suppress him by force? Add had half expected her to do so but asked out of curiosity anyways. Rena made a beaming smile.

 

“If you’re curious about what happens to guys that doesn’t reflect on their actions after peeping at a girl’s body……you can take a seat right here.”

Add felt a chill when Rena patted the spot in front of her with a smile. He got a feeling that something really terrifying was going happen to him if he refused.

“Kukukuk, I’ll at least say some parting words to them.”

He had to beat Eun up anyways. There was no particular reason for him to refuse when she was giving him the chance to talk to her.

……………It honestly wasn’t because he was scared of Rena.

 

Rena told Add to sit here and wait while she went to get the others. Being left alone, Add scratched his head as he listened to the sound of the burning campfire.

“Why did it end up like this…?”

Let’s put aside Eun sending him back without any information. Why did she have to drop him in middle of girls bathing? He’ll have to ask if this was an accident or on purpose.

“She ended up making things more annoying for me.”

The party had only met yesterday so it should be normal for him to never see the other party members again considering he had caused an incident this large. Add admitted this even though he was the perpetrator that had caused the incident.

He could somehow have gotten away by saying some lines if this situation had happened in 1 on 1

scenario……

But not even Rena, the party’s leader should be able to easily defend Add when he caused the incident so publically like this.

In the end, Rena had to prioritize the well being of the El Search Party members as a whole. If Add was in Rena’s position, never mind giving the perpetrator a chance to explain himself, he would have chased the perpetrator off immediately.

“Kukuk, she’s seriously too soft-hearted…..”

Add sighed as he put two of his hands behind his head. He ended up having to do these

disconcerting conversations when all he had to do was to time travel once more again.

Night sky came into Add’s view as he muttered and lied down. Despite how the age had changed, fact that the stars looked so beautiful when viewed while lying down like this had not changed.

 

“Beautiful…..”

“I didn’t come here to listen to you say such words.”

Add hadn’t sensed any presence approach in prior so he winced after suddenly hearing those words.

He had forgotten to put the Dynamos into scouting mode and hadn’t realized that someone had come.

Eve stood expressionlessly across the campfire. She was alone.

“Did you come alone?”

Eve didn’t answer as she slowly approached the campfire. Add stared at Eve hesitantly and just raised his upper body from his spot.

Add didn’t know what kind of words he had to start off with. He was told to apologize but his mouth moved differently.

“So what business do you have with me?”

“I don’t particularly have any business with you.”

Eve spoke stiffly as if it was obvious. Her tone was like she was only here because Rena had requested her to.

But listening to her say this slightly agitated Add. Just who did she think he was suffering through all of this for?

“You…..”

Eve stared at him quietly when he opened his mouth by impulse. Add couldn’t continue his words when he saw her pretty golden eyes shining from the campfire’s light.

Speaking like this to Eve that didn’t know anything would be nothing more than just Add whining.

After realizing this, Add finally got some grasp on what to say.

“I’m sorry. The end.”

“……You call that an apology?”

Eve became dumbfounded at Add’s flat words and asked back. But Add had already given up trying to speak to her seriously.

“It wasn’t on purpose but you wouldn’t believe me anyways right? So think whatever you want. I am really sorry. You got your apology right? Now just go play with Elsword or something.”

“Why do you mention Elsword here?”

 

Eve frowned slightly after listening to Add’s openly cynical remarks. It was a significant reaction from Eve who rarely changed her expression.

Seeing such reaction from Eve, Add from before would have been burning with his lust for research by now. But Add just wanted to get this conversation over with right now.

“Well, isn’t Elsword the one that’s most important to you?”

“…..”

He had said it unintentionally……but it felt disgusting now that he had said it.

Consumed by strange feelings that he could not explain, Add lay down turning his back on Eve as he closed his eyes.

“I’m done now.”

This event will become nonexistent too when he time travels again anyways. There was no point in him apologizing properly.

But despite Add’s empty apology, no movement of Eve standing up could be sensed. Add had his back turned towards Eve now and was filled with both emotions of wanting to turn around to look and wanting Eve to leave already.

An uncomfortable silence even though they were together like he wanted.

“I….for you.”

Add opened his mouth again while still having his backed turned towards Eve. Even though this talk will become nonexistent too but…..

“Mr.Add! You’re so harsh!”

Angry voice rang out from above just when Add was about to speak. Surprised, Add looked up to see that Ara was sitting high up on a tree branch staring at him imposingly.

She looked very angry.

“You should apologize to Ms.Eve properly! That is not the attitude of someone who’s apologizing!”

“Rena told us to talk separately. Why did you follow me Ara Haan?”

Eve seemed surprised too by Ara’s sudden appearance. Ara revealed her intentions ever so proudly.

“If Mr.Add was really a molester then it would be dangerous to send Ms.Eve by herself! So I was listening in secret!”

 

This was the first time Add had seen someone confessing that they had been listening in secret so proudly. As Eve and Add became numb and was continuing to stare up in unison, Ara immediately jumped off from the tree and landed lightly on the ground.

“Now, Mr.Add, apologize properly to Ms.Eve!”

“Hey, wait.”

Add was at a loss for words and frowned as he glared at Ara. Eun was the one that had caused this mess. Didn’t she explain anything to Ara?

But it seemed Ara had misunderstood Add’s reaction and nodded.

“Ah, if it is too difficult to apologize by yourself I’ll also apologize with you. Mr.Add should be able to apologize more easily that way right?”

It seemed Ara was serious. She put down her spear on the ground and sat modestly beside Add. Still at a loss for words, Add was about to tell Ara off but winced.

Ara was giving him a very serious look.

“Mr.Add, no matter what your circumstances are, you have to apologize properly right now. My elder brother told me that guy’s excuses have absolutely no weight to them.”

Add gave up resisting after seeing Ara who was emitting a strange pressure towards him. Nothing good will happen here if he continued to resist.

Let’s just go along with what she says for now. That way he can talk with Eun sooner and time travel again.

“I’m sorry, Eve.”

“You have to say in detail what you did wrong and what you’re sorry about. Mr.Add.”

“About, what I did earlier today…..”

“Your voice is small. Ms.Eve won’t be able to hear you like that.”

Add became flabbergasted and glared at Ara who kept lecturing him from the side. But Ara looked at Add resolutely without any sign of shame.

“Anyone can make errors and mistakes. What’s more important is to apologize and reflect. If Mr.Add is a true martial artist then you must honestly accept your mistake!”

“I’m not a martial artist…..”

“Ms.Eve, could you wait for a moment? It looks like discussing this matter with Mr.Add might take a while.”

 

Ara carefully asked for Eve’s consent while ignoring Add’s mutter. It looked like Ara wasn’t too comfortable with talking to Eve.

Eve was silently staring at the two’s ridiculous show and nodded slightly. Ara seemed to ease her mind after seeing Eve’s reaction and started to lecture Add again.

“Now, Mr.Add. Follow after me. I’m sorry for rudely peeping on you in my moment of carelessness!

I will never do something like this again so please forgive me. Even though you can’t believe me right now, I’ll redeem myself with my actions in the future.”

“…….”

She wants him to say that? It was so absurd but Ara made a face telling Add that he must say those lines.

“Ah, could it be that you couldn’t memorize it because it was too long? Then let me tell you again.”

It looked like she wouldn’t back off unless Add complied.

 

Add couldn’t say those words as they were no matter what. So Add squabbled with Ara for quite a while before he managed to somewhat properly apologize to Eve.

Eve who had watched the two of them silently accepted Add’s apology with a short answer.

“Understood, I hope this problem doesn’t occur in the future.”

“……”

Add was now tired because of Ara’s persistence and could only reply with a head gesture. Eve stood up from her spot and stared at Add directly.

“Do you have anything more to say?”

“What else do you want?”

Could it be that his apology right now wasn’t enough? But that didn’t seem to be the case as Eve sent him a bizarre gaze then turned around.

“You can speak to me later if you have something else to tell me. Since it looks like you have your circumstances as well.”

Eve left after leaving behind one more word.

“Then please apologize properly to Ara Haan as well.”

“……”

 

Add sighed as Eve’s footsteps got further. Apologize again? Add made a tired expression and stared at Ara who was sitting beside him.

“I’m glad Ms.Eve was able to accept your apology.”

“So I just have to apologize to you now…..?”

Ara’s face suddenly turned deep red.

“Y, You don’t have to speak about that.”

“You’re the one that kept bugging me to apologize…..”

Wasn’t she the one that nagged him so much about how he should say everything he did wrong in every last detail? But it seemed Ara’s face flushing right now wasn’t because of the campfire.

“T, That’s different from this.”

“…..”

Add didn’t know how it was different…. But then there shouldn’t be any reason to talk about this anymore right? It was good if he didn’t have to apologize anymore.

Finally able to get a breather, Add angrily glared at Ara. Seeing Add’s furious gaze, Ara cowered and nervously stared at Add.

She was completely different from how she was scolding him earlier.

“W, Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Just call Eun out.”

Add had business with Eun, not Ara. He was going to grab Eun by the collar and shake her until she spat out why she made him suffer through all this.

What if it was a simple mistake? Then he’ll educate her so that she never makes this kind of mistake again.

“How does Mr.Add know about Lord Eun?”

“….”

Ara blinked her eyes in surprise. Oh, was this before Ara revealed about Eun in this timeline?

It was annoying to explain so Add waved his hand.

“You can listen to why later, just bring Eun out. Tell her I have something to say to her.”

“She’s saying she’s tired.”

 

“…..”

That sly thing is seriously making him angry. Ara got scared and cowered after seeing Add’s gaze turn even more intimidating.

“Uuuu, don’t stare at me so scary like that, Mr.Add.”

“Tell her to get out here right this instant. If she doesn’t…..”

Add brought his Dynamos close to him so he could use them if he needed to. But he couldn’t decide on his next course of action. Ara got scared and nervously looked at Add who was steaming with anger.

What should he do if Eun stubbornly refuses to come out? Did he have to torture Ara?

“…..”

No, he couldn’t stay in the El Search Party anymore if he did something like that. And help of Eun who could determine the Time Space Coordinates was a must to time travel properly.

Torturing Ara wouldn’t gain him anything. He would lose more instead.

“Tch, just why do I….”

“If you have something you want to tell Lord Eun I’ll relay it for you instead.”

Ara carefully spoke out. But she immediately shrunk and looked towards the ground after seeing Add shoot back an enraged gaze.

There was no sign of Ara who was sternly scolding Add earlier about apologizing to Eve anymore.

Well, this was more like the Ara Add had known.

“There’s no use talking to you. Can’t you pull out that wily beast by force somehow?”

“Lord Eun isn’t a wily beast! She’s a Celestial Spirit!!”

No, that wasn’t the issue right now. But it seemed it was an important issue for Ara as she was now staring at him seriously.

“Celestial Spirit or wily beast or whatever….if you don’t pull her out right now…..”

“Treating me like some object you pull out from a pocket. That’s so harsh, boy.”

Ara’s tone seemed to change and her hair suddenly got dyed white. Her hairpin was pulled out even before Add could realize it and her eyes were now dyed in red.

And those pointy fox ears on top of her head. They were the final evidence that told Add exactly who he was speaking to.

 

“I know you’re impatient but wasn’t that discourteous? Treat me more preciously, boy.”

“I don’t think you’re in any position to run your mouth like that.”

Add grinded his teeth as he surrounded Ara, no, Eun with his Dynamos. He could rip her apart if he increased the output. But Eun didn’t seem to care and touched the Dynamos with a curious expression.

White fingers played around rhythmically on top of the Dynamos.

“Just what are you thinking doing something like this? I time traveled because you told me to and I end up like this?”

“I showed you something good. Shouldn’t you be thanking me, boy?”

So dropping him in middle of girls bathing wasn’t an accident. It was on purpose. Add was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even get angry.

“What? Did boy like bare male bodies better? Alright, I’ll make such arrangements next time.”

“I’m not trying to say worthless things like that.”

“Which would you like better? Male around your age or older?”

Add just shut his mouth when Eun started to act insidiously. He knew that she was making fun of him…..but.

“Why did you do this? Why did you send me to this time specifically? What kind of clue am I supposed to find here?”

Eun probably didn’t plot this just to tease Add. Eun, from the beginning, was expressing her desire to cooperate with him.

Although she didn’t give any proper information and was very suspicious, she had never failed in regards to time travel. At least this much was trustworthy.

When Add asked seriously, Eun stopped fooling around and made a captivating smile.

“Because what boy does from now on is important for accomplishing what he desires. That’s why I especially chose this time.”

“Then what should I do now?”

Add had originally intended to time travel and erase the fact that he had seen on the girls bathing…..

But it looked like there was no reason to do so now since the situation has somewhat been resolved.

There shouldn’t be any problem with continuing like this.

 

“You always can ask me if you want to peep on them bathing again.”

“I don’t need such thing. We’re talking about Eve right now.”

“It seems boy hasn’t felt anything from this incident.”

Feel? What? Add stared at her questioningly but Eun didn’t answer right away and just made a strange expression.

Feeling that flashed by her face for an instant was….disappointment.

This startled Add but he still responded sarcastically.

“What? Was I supposed to write a written report about that?”

“Of course if boy did such things I’d play along as well……..”

Just what was Eun aiming for? Add was about to ask but Eun abruptly changed the subject.

“The key to resolving this situation is approaching right now.”

“What?”

Surprised, Add looked around and heard footsteps approaching. It didn’t sound like footstep’s owner wanted to hide their approach.

Add instinctively brought his Dynamos near him. A key that can help him protect Eve? Add didn’t know who it was but he might have to suppress the person by force.

Should he just ambush the person right now?

While Add pondered while in battle position, the owner of the footsteps revealed himself.

“You still haven’t finished talking?”

“……”

Add blinked his eyes vacantly after seeing the person. This guy that Add felt like he had seen somewhere before spoke to him with a voice that he felt like he had heard somewhere before.

“You, who are you?”

“Didn’t I introduce myself yesterday? I’m Elsword.”

Red haired boy revealed his name without any hesitation. Add unconsciously let out a sigh. He couldn’t believe this no matter how much he stared at the boy. But since he didn’t disappear, Add had to admit he was real.

“….Why did he get bigger?”

 

A boy 2 years older than the Elsword Add knew was staring at Add questioningly.

 

Chill went down Add’s spine and dry sweat started to drop down from him. Frightened, Add blankly stared at Elsword.

“They told me to clean this place up since we have to prepare to sleep now. Want me to help?”

“…..”

“Big brother Add?”

When Elsword called his name bluntly, Add finally came to his senses and shook his head widely.

Elsword’s appearance didn’t change no matter how much Add closed and opened his eyes.

There was still some of the earlier childishness on the boy’s face. But he had become taller and more mature. Well, he aged by two years from Elsword he knew. So that should be obvious… probably.

Confirmation comes first. Add approached Elsword abruptly and thoughtlessly reached out his hand.

“Big brother Add?”

“Stand still.”

After shutting Elsword up in a low voice, Add tried flipping Elsword’s eyelid. He then confirmed the feelings of his ears and face….. The target wasn’t a ghost or an illusion.

“Next is….”

Just what made this possible? Add spoke seriously after feeling various places on Elsword’s body.

“I’ll have to examine more. Take off your clothes.”

“…..Umm, did you eat something wrong?”

“I’m not joking right now. Take them off.”

Add had to do some confirmation analysis in order to check if this person in front of him was really Elsword. This would be a much easier process if he had kept Elsword’s blood sample. But since Add didn’t, he had to resort to more primitive method.

Add grabbed Elsword’s clothes. Elsword blinked confusingly with a startled expression. Explaining things to Elsword would be a waste of time. He wouldn’t understand anyways.

“If you won’t take them off, then I’ll take them off for you. Cooperate quietly.”

Just when Add was about to take Elsword’s top off…. A sudden shock fell down on Add’s head.

 

Bam! Bam!

Not just one but two strikes in a row. These strikes were so powerful that tear almost came out from Add’s eyes. Add grabbed his head with both of his hands and dropped down. It hurt so much that he couldn’t even scream.

“Big brother Add, are you okay?”

“Don’t worry. Boy was just confused and was doing something nonsensical. I would like you to forget about this Elsword.”

Eun who had just hit Add’s head with handle of her spear explained to Elsword leisurely.

“Big sister Ara? Why did your hair color change?”

He’s so quick to ask. Add thought internally while still with busy rubbing his aching head.

It seemed Eun hadn’t revealed her identity yet to the rest of the El Search Party members…. Just how was she going to resolve this?

“My hair turns like this if I become very angry.”

“Ah, so Big brother Add made you angry.”

You actually believe that? Add still couldn’t speak but was taken aback. But Eun neatly finished up the conversation.

“Then I’ll return with the boy after he comes back to his senses. Go back first and tell the others that.”

“Alright, I will. Don’t cause any more trouble Big brother Add.”

Elsword spoke calmly then turned around. Add groaned in pain as he brought himself up after seeing Elsword’s back move further away.

“Just what was that…..?”

“You tried to take another man’s clothes off but now your prey is escaping.”

“Stop with the nonsense. Just what the heck happened?”

“Well I guess he isn’t a complete stranger. To be like that with Elsword who you’ve only met yesterday. You’re rather quick.”

Eun didn’t seem like she was going to answer him properly. Add rubbed his aching head as he organized the situation. Elsword’s sudden growth and how Elsword was acting as if nothing was wrong.

 

“Could it be…..?”

There was only one thing that came into Add’s mind. Add hoped his guess was wrong and asked Eun for confirmation.

“Did Elsword change like that because I time traveled?”

“He did not change, he grew.”

That’s the same thing no matter how you put it.

A chill went down Add’s spine and he couldn’t speak. There were couple of times where

insignificant events from the past had changed whenever Add time traveled to prevent Eve from being destroyed.

But for Elsword to age so suddenly like this… This wasn’t something that could be just glossed over.

“Me time traveling and Elsword’s growth doesn’t have any logical correlation. How is this possible?”

“Time isn’t something that logical in the first place. Does the world ever always move as one wants?”

Eun wagged her fingers as she smiled.

“Because Elsword had grown up so much in both body and skill, the business from earlier today was taken care of quickly. Banthus couldn’t even exchange one blow with Elsword and ran away.

We were also able to destroy the Nasod army that appeared after much easily. So naturally, time to clean up came much faster and time for bathing also became faster.”

“…..”

“Didn’t everything turn out well?”

Contrary to Eun’s words, her smile was very cold and cynical. Finally realizing what was going on, Add tried to put the pieces together.

Everyone including Elsword was treating Elsword’s growth as if it was something obvious. As if Elsword was like this from the start.

A large change happened to the past because Add time traveled.

“…..Did you make me time travel for this purpose?”

“I won’t say that I had no such reasons”

After confirming his guess was right, Add recalled the image of Elsword he had just seen now. His body had gotten larger and he seemed more mature than before. He was definitely different from the time when he was a brat. He now looked like he could handle one person’s weight.

 

“I’ll admit that Elsword became stronger than before. But what meaning does that have? Even if he grew, he’s still weaker than me.”

You could tell with a single glance that Elsword had become stronger than before. But he was probably still weaker than Add. Maybe stronger or equal to Add who had just joined the El Search Party….

But Elsword was no match for Add who had now become stronger from his time travels.

And even the now stronger Add was not confident he could fend off the demons that were after Eve.

“I’m not saying I’ll leave everything to Elsword. No matter how he has grown, it would be too much for him to handle all the demons by himself.”

Then why did you make me come back to this time? Eun made a beaming smile at Add’s

questioning gaze.

The girl made a seductive smile. She looked extremely beautiful with the darkness behind her back.

But she was letting off a very ominous atmosphere which surpassed her beauty.

“I’ll explain the method starting now so listen well. It sounds simple but it’s actually very difficult to accomplish.”

Finally, the main topic. Add tensed up as he focused on Eun’s next words.

He had to suffer through this timeline even getting accused of being a molester. But he’ll break through any hardships to come with his teeth clenched tightly and finally save Eve this tim…..

“Become a woman, boy.”

 

That’s physically impossible.

 

“You might as well become an elegant woman.”

Eun made an excited smile towards Add who stood frozen on the spot.
