I took a shower for the first time in a long while.
That is, it had truly been a long time since I had taken a shower in my original body.
My body stayed there without collapsing or spilling apart.
The sensation of hot water sweeping across my skin.
I was me.
“……”
I changed clothes.
It had been so long since I wore something other than the Facility Security Team uniform that it felt a little awkward.
Not a temporary body, not a dream I had while asleep, but a clean sense of reality.
The sensation of breathing.
‘Phew.’
…I felt light.
With that refreshed feeling, I opened the hospital room door and came out.
In the waiting area of the Fox Counseling Room, the people who had already prepared themselves were waiting.
“Sorry I’m late. I was washing up.”
Come to think of it, it was surprising that this Fox Counseling Room had a shower room too…. No, now that I thought about it, if there was an inpatient room but no shower room, that would be the real Ghost Story.
Smiling, I sat down.
The sensation of sunlight warming my face.
“…I don’t need to wear the Security Team uniform?”
“Yes.”
“It’s fine now.”
It really was.
Relief and joy spread across Agent Choi’s face as he sat at the table.
Then he hugged me, as if encouraging me.
“That’s a relief.”
“……”
My chest tightened a little.
And I saw Agent Choi discreetly perform a dowsing check to measure my contamination, confirm that there was no problem, and put it away.
This man really never changes….
“Ahaha~ No, it’s just that last time too, it looked like you had recovered, but you hadn’t. …So I thought maybe this was a similar situation again.”
“That was… um, a different body made through an item.”
The lizard body.
It was still being kept at Manager Lee Jaheon’s…
