Iris nodded quietly.

A moment later, when the showering Soma came in, Jihyo's expression was astonishment, itself. Soma said strangely at the sight of such Jihyo.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing... You... you want to go out for a minute?"

"Oh? Okay..."

So Soma left the room again. When Soma left the room, Jihyo asked Iris.

"Well, is that true?!"

Iris nodded as before.

"Huh..."

Jihyo sat down on the spot. It was hard to believe for Jihyo. It is the word of heaven and earth, fresh and dragon. This is what Iris said to Jihyo.

He is a dragon living in the sky called Sangcheongye, where he was framed and descended into the human world. And this mountain is where we came to find the best place for the flow of energy. That's why he drove out the mountain god Baekho and sat down on the mountain. When Baekho lost his power in the mountain, hidden monsters appeared. Then one week after the mountain was noisy, I went to see what was going on, and I found Jihyo, who fell down, and Soma, who was guarding her from Baekho. And he returned this mountain to bring them back. It was something to be done just chasing after Baekho, but they had their own rules. Anyway, Soma gave herself a name and Soma became an important person to herself. In the meantime, a god came to kill him from the Sangcheon world, but he was fighting with him and the cow got caught up in it. So she used all her strength and gave it to Soma. Now, Soma is human but not human. The body may be human, but the power to use is not human-like.

That's all Iris said. Jihyo then listened silently and asked, with her head glaringly up.

"So... what about Iris? I heard you just gave Soma all your strength."

"..."

Iris was tight-lipped. Jihyo opened her mouth when she saw the reaction.

"You don't tell me..."

Iris sighed and said,

"I... probably a month... I can't do more than that's... The womanizer who ran out of energy lost its function... Perhaps that's the limit of the strength left in every corner of the body..."

"Iris..."

Boom!

Then the door of the room opened. And at the door stood a cow. The Soma's eyes were terrified.

"Iris!"

"Soma..."

Iris quietly spat out Soma's name and Soma approached Iris.

"What should I do?! How can I save you?"

"..."

said Soma, shaking Iris' shoulders with both arms. Iris couldn't say anything to such a Soma. However, the word 'sorry' was only short.

"Don't say you're sorry! I don't want to hear that! Please... teach me..."

Water formed around the eyes of the Soma. Jihyo, who had been listening quietly until then, beat Soma from Iris and said,

"Soma. Iris is a patient! Do you understand?! So first, let's let it rest."

So Soma and Jihyo left the room. And in the room there was only Iris, lying on the floor, covering his eyes with the back of his hand, and Sujin sitting quietly beside him.

Iris spat out quietly.

"You knew that, didn't you? That Soma was listening..."

"Yes..."

Iris had lost all her strength now. It would have been very easy for her to notice the existence of the Soma, but not now. However, Sujin knew for sure that he existed. Nevertheless, he didn't say anything. Now Iris was blundering such Sujin's behavior.

"Why..."

"Because he had the right to hear it, too. If he didn't tell him anything, he might go crazy when he finds out later."

"But... at least... I wouldn't be crazy right now."

"Maybe so... However, that's also something he needs to solve. And you don't believe him. Do you think he will be frustrated by this?"

"..."

Sujin said as if she knew Soma well. Iris remained tight-lipped, as if she had nothing to say about it. And she hasn't spoken for a long time. Her mouth suddenly opened as usual.

"Can I ask you to... please?"

"There's no reason not to. But... please remember that I'm a temporary."

"Soma now has the ability to go beyond the normal human category. First of all... ...how to use it properly."

Iris closed her eyes, blurring the end of her words. Fatigue piled up and he fell asleep. Su-jin stood up after she covered the sleeping Iris with a blanket. And as he left the room, he said quietly.

"The man you were trying to save might die here... Liae."

Soma and Jihyo left the room and headed to the pavilion where Soma named Iris. There was no conversation between the two until they got there.

And it continued until Sujin arrived at the pavilion.When Soma saw Su-jin walking slowly from afar, she raised her eyes and alerted.

I didn't know there was no situation when I saw it earlier, but now that I think about it, I definitely remembered being in the room together.

Sujin stood in front of Soma. Soma looked up at Sujin while sitting down.

"What's going on?"

"I'm Sujin. It's one of the four pillars of nature, like Leia. My column is Hwa."

Sujin introduced herself. The four main dragons of nature were the dragons that govern the four properties of water, fire, soil, and wind.

They are called water, fire, earth, wind, and water, respectively. Iris was a water dragon in Yongin, which controls water, and Sujin was a fire dragon.

It means nature does it for itself. It could be said that it was quite contradictory to have someone managing it. That's probably because when the old saying of nature came out, there was no knowledge of the creature of dragons.

Soma was not Soo-jin, but she introduced herself first, so she couldn't help but introduce herself.

"My name is Shin Soma."

It was a short and simple introduction.

"You have all the power in her heart right now."

Sujin said, pointing to Soma's heart. Soma felt her heart stop for a moment. Somehow I felt guilty. I felt like Iris was dying because of you.

When Soma dropped her head in despair, Sujin stopped her as Jihyo approached him from the side to console Sujin stopped her. She looked up at Su-jin with an expression of why. Sujin shook her head quietly from side to side toward her.

Jihyo backed away as if she were not qualified.

When Jihyo stepped back, Sujin continued to talk.

"Do you want to save her?"

"....!"
