“Wow, look at how the sea sparkles! Yoon Si-woo! What is this place? I didn’t know such a place existed!”

The beach before me was so incredibly beautiful, I was certain it was more stunning than the famous tourist spots I had seen only in photos in my past life.

Unable to contain my excitement at the stunning view, I grabbed Yoon Si-woo and nearly jumped for joy, shouting.

Yoon Si-woo, who had been quietly watching my reaction with a smile, asked me, hinting at something.

“Scarlett, take a closer look. Are you sure you don’t recognize where we are?”

“…Huh?”

At his strange question, I scanned the beach scenery again.

The sea, the sea...

...Wait a minute, this place feels oddly familiar, like I’ve seen this kind of terrain before... Ah!

“This... could it be...?!”@@novelbin@@

As the thought rushed into my mind, I exclaimed, and Yoon Si-woo nodded in confirmation.

“You’re right. This is where you and the others fought and defeated the Witch of Lust. The very place.”

“Unbelievable… it’s changed this much?”

I was so surprised that I looked around again, stunned.

The black sea, once covered with monsters from the battle against the Witch of Lust, now appeared so different. What had once been such a dreadful place had turned into this beautiful scene over the years.

I couldn’t believe the change. As I stood there in shock, Yoon Si-woo took my hand and gently led me toward the sand, speaking softly.

“Isn’t it amazing? It’s a privilege to enjoy a view like this, so take it all in. The purification and development were completed recently, so right now, access is restricted except for a few people.”

“Oh, ohh…”

I walked along the beach, leaving footprints in the untouched sand as Yoon Si-woo guided me. The ocean before me was so clear and transparent that I thought I might see all the way to the bottom. The waves crashed against the shore, and the foam looked as white and beautiful as pearls.

While I was lost in the view, I suddenly heard a splash from the direction of the sea.

Turning my eyes toward the sound, I saw a pair of dolphins leaping above the water.
