“Princess, we’ve arrived at the place you told me about.”
Se-hwa, having reached the destination, stopped the car.
Opening the car door and stepping outside, a dense, verdant forest came into view.
Perhaps because I was wearing sunglasses, the blue-green color appeared somewhat dark.
We arrived at the path leading into the mountain.
“Where do we go now?”
Е̄ṅu̇ m̊ а̇ .íď
“The Anomaly said that the Soul-Cutting Sword is somewhere in the mountains.”
“So, does that mean we have to climb? Ugh.”

Se-hwa made a strange noise as if she didn’t want to climb, and her body slumped.
Leaving the whining Se-hwa behind, I started climbing the mountain.
“Ah, wait for me, Princess!”
As I indifferently started up the hiking trail, Se-hwa hurriedly followed.
Е̃ nǔm̀а
The mountain that the Anomaly had mentioned was over 1,000m above sea level.
Whether it was a famous mountain or not, people who had come to hike or sightsee were sparsely visible.
Near the entrance of the hiking trail, we met a middle-aged woman coming down the mountain.
Her pink fluorescent hiking clothes and red hat were impressive.

“Oh my, hello. Looks like you came hiking with your child? She’s very pretty.”
“Yes? Ah, that’s right. We came hiking together.”
Е̌ n̊ ùm̃ā
The middle-aged woman suddenly struck up a conversation.
Se-hwa seemed momentarily flustered but quickly responded naturally.
“That outfit is very princess-like, the color is so lovely! But are you planning to hike in that outfit? Won’t it be uncomfortable? Not that I’m saying anything, I’m just worried.”
“It’s okay. This outfit is very comfortable.”
I gave a suitable answer to the middle-aged woman who was having unnecessary concerns.
Then Se-hwa, even more flustered than I was, opened her mouth.

“Ahaha. She insisted on wearing this outfit or she wouldn’t go outside, so I had no choice. We’re just going for a short walk and then we’ll head back.”
“Oh well, kids are like that sometimes.”
Hmm, I never insisted on wearing this outfit or I wouldn’t go outside.
Se-hwa lied and chatted with the middle-aged woman.
“What’s your name?”
The middle-aged woman looked down at me and asked.
Wè b n о vĕ ĺ Еn̂ ùm̈à
I don’t remember my name, so I should answer with the nickname I’m called at the lab.
“My name? I’m Bla—”

“Lee Seo-hwa! Lee Seo-hwa!”
While I was answering, Se-hwa shouted loudly and cut me off.
She shouted and answered that my name was Lee Seo-hwa.
“She’s my younger sister. My name is Lee Se-hwa, and hers is Lee Seo-hwa. We both have the ‘hwa’ character in our names.”

“Hoh ho ho. Her name is as pretty as her face!”
Se-hwa lied again.
Like that, Se-hwa rattled off various lies and chatted with the middle-aged woman for a while.
After the brief chat, we started up the hiking trail again.

“My name is Lee Seo-hwa. That’s news to me. Who exactly is Lee Seo-hwa?”
“Hoo. I just made it up just now.”
Ẃ е̌b n o̊_v̀ е̂.l Е̃n̈ ûm̆ а̀
“Why did you make up a name? Even if I don’t have a name, everyone at the lab calls me by my nickname.”
“Ugh. Th, that’s…”
Se-hwa trailed off, looking embarrassed.
Soon, she carefully looked at me and opened her mouth.
“The people at the lab are understanding, so they can accept that Princess doesn’t have a name. But most people outside aren’t that understanding. If Princess says she doesn’t have a name, they’ll look at Princess strangely.”
“Hmm, is that so?”

“Yeah. So, is it okay if you use a fake name when we’re out of the lab?”
Is it strange to not have a name?
I was already doing well with the nickname Black Princess in the lab.
I didn’t particularly need a name, but I didn’t make up my nickname anyway.
Even if I had a fake name, it wouldn’t be much different from having another nickname.
“Do as you please. I didn’t make up my nickname anyway.”
W е́ ḃn о̂v̌ӗ l̂ Е̄ num ă
“Thank you. Then I’ll call you Seo-hwa while we’re outside.”
After getting my second nickname, we started up the hiking trail again.

The higher we climbed, the fewer people there were, and the greener the trees became.
Except for Se-hwa, there was no one around.
“Seo-hwa, there’s something I want to ask.”
“What is it?”
Е̊ n̊ü m а̊ .і̄ d
Se-hwa called me by my second nickname.
The only sounds around were the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
In the tranquility of nature, Se-hwa carefully asked.
“How did you get the information from The Prayer Receiver?”

“I just scared him a little. But asking at a time like this means you weren’t expecting just that answer, right?”
“Yeah. I want to know the details. That Anomaly had no fear of death and had firm standards of his own. So he didn’t yield to any temptation or threat. How did Princess get the information?”
Е́ num̀ а
The sound of the wind brushing against the leaves echoed eerily.
“Se-hwa has already seen the method before.”
“I’ve seen it before?”
“Yes. I just did a little cooking.”
“Cooking? But after Princess got the information, the results of the examination showed that The Prayer Receiver’s body was normal. If you cooked him, shouldn’t there be damage to the Anomaly’s body?”
“I cooked him several times. I cooked the Anomaly’s body parts several times. And in the end, I put it back to normal.”

The sun was covered by clouds, and the weather became gloomy.
Undeterred, I continued up the hiking trail and continued speaking.
“That way, I just scared him a little without any damage. Hehe. How is it, a good idea, right?”
“I see. It’s a good idea.”
Se-hwa, who finished speaking quietly, was sweating coldly.
How little exercise does she usually do that she’s sweating after walking only this much?
Ẅе́.b n о̌v е ľ Еn u_m̌ а
Se-hwa is too weak.
After that, we climbed the hiking trail in silence.

How long had we walked?
About 20 minutes passed, and Se-hwa suddenly asked a question.
“How much further is it to the destination? Do you know the exact location?”
“I don’t know the exact location. That Anomaly said it was somewhere in the mountains.”
Ėn̈ ú m̂â
“Huh, what? So, we’ve just been wandering around aimlessly?”
“Yes. We’ll find it if we wander around.”
“How can we find something in the mountains by walking around! Seo-hwa, I’m starting to get tired…”
Se-hwa whined, making a groaning sound.

Certainly, Se-hwa’s breathing was getting rougher, and her pace was noticeably slower.
Hiking must have been too much for someone who only did research at the lab.
Еñ ú ḿä . і̊ ḋ
“I’ll tell the lab to search the mountain. When we find the exact location, let’s come back then. No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t make sense to find something in the mountains by walking!”
Se-hwa’s complaints didn’t end.
As I ignored the useless words and walked along the hiking trail, a familiar scent wafted in on the mountain breeze.
“Hee… hee… I, I really can’t walk anymore. Let’s rest for a moment.”
“Be quiet.”
I sniffed, trying to identify the source of the smell.

Soon, I figured out the direction of the smell coming from where the Anomaly was located.
“I found it.”
“Seo-hwa, you’re walking too fast, I can’t keep up… huh? You found it?”
“I smelled the Anomaly. I don’t know if it’s the thing we’re looking for or another Anomaly.”
I had never seen the Soul-Cutting Sword directly, so there was no way to distinguish it by smell.
I might have mistaken it for another Anomaly, but it was clear that an Anomaly existed.
Wе̃ b̆ n o vе̂ l̄ Ē ñ.ù mа̀
“I can feel the traces of an Anomaly over there.”
As I stretched out my arm and pointed in the direction of the smell, Se-hwa looked in that direction.

The strength drained even more from Se-hwa’s tired face.
“That’s just a forest. Do we have to leave the hiking trail now?”
“Then did Se-hwa think the Anomaly would be waiting at the end of the hiking trail?”
“Ugh. That’s true…”
Wе́b̌ń ӧ v̈ е l Е n ü m а̌
Se-hwa seemed unable to find a response, as if she had been hit right on the mark.
Se-hwa was breathing heavily even while she was talking.
“You look tired, so I’ll go alone.”
“What? W, wait!”

Se-hwa’s hand, stretched out to grab me, flailed helplessly in the air.
I had been deliberately walking slowly to accommodate Se-hwa, but even that was too much for her.
Eǹ u ḿӓ .іd
I shook off the annoying Se-hwa and headed towards the smell.
I stepped on stones and pushed through trees.
Traces of people disappeared, and the surrounding scenery became a forest.
Soon, a small cave came into view.
Following the smell of the Anomaly, I stepped into the cave.
“I found it.”

As I walked through the cave, a sword stuck in a rock came into view.
It would be more reasonable to think that this was the Soul-Cutting Sword than to think that there was a chance that there was an Anomaly that looked like a sword.
I approached to pull the sword out of the rock.
“Stop.”
The sword spoke to me.
“I only acknowledge those I recognize as my master. You are not qualified to be my master.”

Ignoring the chattering sword, I continued to approach.
For a mere sword to try to decide whether I am qualified to be its master.

I’ll have to teach it who the master really is.
