Jeon Ae Ri try to avoid looking Cale in the eyes.

She is fairly certain that she has been exposed from the beginning.

"I didn't have a choice, did I?"

Cale Henituse is just just too perceptive.

He's just that type of guy.

'If it comes to this, I'll just suck it up.'

She maintains her composure while giving a faint smile. 

"As you are aware, I am a transmigrator."

'I am one, right?'

Even if she is unsure whether or not this body belongs to her, the fact that she awoke in a completely different world while being in this body proves she is a transmigrator.

"Hm."

Cale nods as he easily comprehends what is being said. Jeon Ae Ri  can sense Cale glancing at her hair and eye colour.

'Did she also possess another person's body?'

Jeon Ae Ri continue speaking, oblivious to Cale's thoughts.

"I know this is a lot to take in... but I promised I'm not joking or kidding about what I'm about to say next."

She catches sight of the two kids. They were sleeping again.

That's great. She will be able to speak it more easily this way.

"What if I told you... that I enter a novel I read before I fell asleep?"

Cale blinked his eyes. This situation feels awfully familiar.

Of course it does—Kim Rok Soo experienced the exact same thing.

"...what's the novel about?"

His tone was tinged with urgency.

Before responding, the woman gave him a watchful, unsure glance.

"It's about a man who rises to a hero and defends the continent from the enemy."

Cale shifted his weight forward in his seat.

"Who is the character in the novel?"

It's likely that the woman seated in front of him read the same book.

[The Birth of a Hero].

The story of Choi Han's life in becoming a hero alongside his party.

The thought of encountering someone in a similar situation makes Cale jittery.

'But what is this bad feeling?'

Cale had a nasty feeling, which was worse by the fact that he could never be wrong.

"You. Cale Henituse, you appear in the novel."

Jeon Ae Ri spoke as she pointed her slender fingers in his direction.

Cale nod. Cale Henituse is a character who appears in the beginning of [The Birth of a Hero].

"Who else?"

She then pointed the two kids who were sleeping next to Cale.

"On and Hong are also mentioned in the novel. Choi Han, Ron, and Beacrox and others—"

She paused in mid-sentence. Unconsciously, Jeon Ae Ri's hand moved in astonishment toward her throat.

'My voice won't come out.'
