That night, she was fortunate that Leon went back to sleep and did not wait long for her.
At that time, it was already past eleven o'clock.
As soon as she reached her room, and put the paper bag of the book with the novel on the ivory desk, she hung up her clothes and headed to the bathroom.
After a few minutes of monotonous refreshment, she came out wearing a light blue pajama with long, warm sleeves, with a slight touch of hanging clouds.
She slowly dried her dull hair with a towel, before lying down monotonously on her bed and recalling what had happened today.
“Huh…” she sighed. “So… cute~”
She muttered, raising the stem of her hand towards the ceiling, in full view of her eyes; Then she looked thoughtfully at the translucent tattoo of Cupid's wings stuck to the top of her wrist.
Without wasting any more time, she hugged the tattoo with the palm of her other hand, and the features of the white ground spot slowly revealed to her, out of the blue.

This storage space was a state-of-the-art technology, with an area of more than 500 meters.
And the distance between heaven and earth was high and limited.
The space also consisted of 4 ivory floors, with a wooden floor of sandalwood and beech, with an exposed external staircase, with doors.
The first floor contains a fully equipped apartment and an elegant kitchen, with instruments for musical and drawing.
The second floor, however, had a military feel, with a spacious laboratory, given the quality of the materials and weapons in it.
Whether from light industries such as short- and long-range espionage tools, or well-known and innovative ones.
On the landside, most of its heavy industries were limited to fighter planes, canopy cars, bicycles, and a purely satellite.
When going up to the first half of the third floor, via the elevator, one could see the features of Western and Eastern medical instruments together respectively, along with a complete surgery room.
On the other side of the second half, most of the herbs, materials, and poisons were grown inside a programmed greenhouse, without a silent nature.
Upon reaching the last floor, an organized and elegant series of various types of disguises and costumes were placed, along with a shelf hanging with various perfumes, jewelry, and even makeup.
A medium-wide pool was also kept, on the back side of the design when viewed from above.

In her past life, she often meekly developed most items and weapons, in order to protect Cadres and her sisters from the organization.
For this reason, she sought to expand the area to help, although it had remained under experimentation and needed to be repaired.
Compared to the current situation and past things, she had been truly deprived of using any kitchen utensils, knives, and even weapons, so that it could be considered an obsession, or a condition that was difficult to control or solve.
When looking at the reality of the capabilities of the Beller girls, the ability to innovate, renew, and even develop, was beyond the scope of the ordinary in the eyes of humanity.
And because this small group was considered a successful and rare event in the Sirin project, the value of the monopoly increased and the ability to achieve freedom or rebellion was limited.
When thinking about the condition of the shadows of the laboratory, and the distorted memories of that time, she clenched her fists with sharp emotion and arched her eyebrows expressing dissatisfaction.
She exhaled, walking silently towards that elegant black mask, hanging carefully, at the top of the shelf, in the collection, and then stood.
And without prolonged contemplation, she noticed that shadowy and familiar form of that small creature, which began to unfold towards her and looked.
“The Black Shadow” She smiled palely, happily.
“Meow~”
Despite that, she waited patiently for him to reach her, despite his small, quick steps towards her, and then she bowed down.
“Meow~”
“I'm back” she said, in an emotional tone, hugging him; caressing that soft fur of her pet cat.
'This fellow, the one she had the most to live with, was the last pet she had ever owned'
After going through the development experience associated with the project (Siren), he became like a unique and submissive machine.
When she examined it, the golden bell dangling below the ornate collar sparkled, displaying her ownership.
After a lot of soft rubbing and caressing, she gave him food from the kitchen, before bringing it back with her.
The black shadow, whose blue and shaded eyelashes twitched gently as it explored the new contents of her room, hopped around her before returning to her embrace in search of warmth.
In comparison, this was the biggest coincidence that fate had bestowed upon her.

In the morning, around seven, Caroline woke up 10 minutes early.
The white and gray sheer curtains, insulating, were still blocking the lively view outside amidst the golden threads of sunlight seeping in.
Without wasting any more time, she threw herself out of bed, pulled the curtains open while leaving the window open for a while, in order to refresh the fresh air outside and got ready.
“Meow!”
The black shadow, who was very obedient in the way he followed her, immediately followed her after she left towards the bathroom.
Nam Shin, who was stuck inside the kitchen, had prepared in advance a large plate of kimchi and sushi rings with noodle soup for this morning.
When he saw that Caroline had woken up, he immediately greeted her with his elegant Korean accent.
“Ki-Ki, good morning”
“Good morning” she replied, with a frozen smile, unable to express it.
She really liked being with this person, for being so kind.
Nam Shin, who had finally noticed the petite little figure behind her, raised his eyebrows familiarly and bent his knees in advance to rub his fur.
“Little Black” he smiled amusedly, meeting his grimace, while allowing him to be petted and then raised his head a little higher, looking at her.
“I'll buy more as soon as we get back this evening” he added, straightening monotonously, meaning cat food.
“Ah. Okay..” “..Thanks”
Caroline, who pursed her lips for a moment, nodded affirmatively, while his eyebrows twitched in surprise.
“Meow!”
She took out some steamed meat with some milk and water in a special dish marked with a cute puppy mark and offered it to him.
“Here you go” she said, teasing his jaw as he kept up with her.
