Chapter 344. Homeward
I arrived home just before the sun set.
The moment my feet touched the Yard, I was surprised by my own profound sense of relief, making me question myself.
*Home… Have I truly come to think of this place as my home?*
A wooden house nestled deep within Choguljae.
It seemed I regarded this place not as a mere house in the nominal sense, but as my Sanctuary.
This place where Euna and I had spent the summer together.
Schneider, too, seemed to share my feelings, purring continuously and letting out a rumbling purring song.
“Wow… Oppa. You’ve turned this place into a complete Fortress, haven’t you?”
“Indeed. It’s much more… impressive than the Apartment we used to live in. You must have gone through a lot of trouble.”
Seonyoung and Sora exclaimed in admiration as they looked at the stone wall surrounding the house.
“Oyabun. With a Fortress Wall like this, you should dig a moat, nya~.”
I had called it a stone wall, but perhaps Deok-hun’s description of it as a Fortress Wall was more fitting.
A stone wall—no, a Fortress Wall—made of large rocks and slightly smaller ones.
The Fortress Wall Euna and I had built together, carrying stones and using our Abilities.
*I didn’t think much of it back then.*
The experience of the Barrier collapsing at the Apartment.
That experience must have left an unconscious mind urge to build a sturdier Barrier, even while I had lost my memories.
It seemed I had detached myself from the Apartment, where I had lost everything, and now considered this place my true home.
