Is it the Master? (2)
Vice President Granquil.
Diabel knew exactly who the man who had jumped between her, Beatrice, and Robina was.
He had been the cause of her turmoil in the past few days.
But Vice President didn’t look like a freshman she had seen before.
Not just a student she was interested in.
“Master…?”
No.
That can’t be.
If that person is the Master reincarnated, there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize him.
Diabel tried hard to lift her head, but her soul was screaming desperately.
That everything she had done so far was to meet him.
My salvation.
My light.
My everything.
My entire life was for him.
I did everything to meet him.
Even the ‘destruction’ might have been just to meet him.
“But….”

I never thought that a reunion with the Master would happen like this….
Woong
The magic that Diavel manifested in response to Secretary Viss’s gaze, which seemed to be on guard, shriveled.
‘…Why?’
Secretary Viss’s gaze was not that of a master.
The master had sometimes been cold towards him, but his gaze was never like this.
Even when the master criticized him through sparring, he could feel affection and remorse in his eyes.
That’s how he knew that the master cherished him.
But Secretary Viss’s gaze now only seemed to be a gaze that guarded against enemies, cold and dangerous.
“Why…”
Woong
Diavel’s magic swirled and trembled.
“Kugh…!”
The three of them struggled to contain themselves in the fierce whirlwind.
Pang
As Secretary Viss raised his holy sword and unleashed sacred power, a circular shield formed in front of him.
He stepped forward to protect the two women behind him.
“Ah…”
Diavel’s hand dropped as he witnessed the scene.
‘The master… protecting another woman instead of me…’
Since his master’s death in his past life, he had yearned for him countless times in this life.
And I have always dreamed.
How will the reunion with my master take place?
And how will my master react when he sees me again?
Will he scold me, gripping my head, saying that I caused “destruction”?
Or will he stroke my head, saying that he avenged me?
Hmm… considering my master’s usual demeanor, he might scold me for doing something unreasonable.
In that case, I should speak up too. I suffered because of the restrictions my master imposed on me.
My master should also apologize.
Perhaps my master will smile softly?
I might be able to feel that atmosphere we had when we lived together in the cabin.
And then, I should say it.
I missed him.
Tears might burst out.
I don’t really want to show a weak side.
But if it’s my master, it might be okay.
To embrace my master just like that.
Into his warm and comforting embrace that smells so good.
I should whisper into my master’s ear.
My sincerity.
My love.
“I missed you…”
Gooohhhhh
Amidst the raging storm of magic, Diabel wanted to speak.
But she quickly bit her lips, closed her eyes, and lowered her head.
“This isn’t right!”
The situation she had dreamed of and the current situation were completely different.
How long had she waited for this reunion?
How much had she longed for this reunion, even if it meant sacrificing everything for her master?
“Kuk…!”
As Diabel’s emotions intensified, the storm grew fiercer.
Being a Bissus who had gained the power of past lives and partially activated the Holy Sword, it was difficult to withstand the magic driven by Diabel’s intensified emotions.
Thump
“Master.”
“!”
Suddenly, Robina approached Bissus and placed her hand on his arm.
Then, her shadow flowed through his body and filled the gaps in his protective shield.
Her shadow filled the cracks in Bissus’s barrier.
“…I can’t just rely on protection from students. Absolute Shield!”
Uwung
Beatrice, who was frozen in a shocking situation that she couldn’t chase after, raised both of her hands and deployed a high-level shield magic with her full power, assisting Vissus.
It was a scene of three people working together to overcome hardship.
“Master… why…”
To Diavel, it was a heart-wrenching sight.
“Why, why, why!”
Tears of blood flowed from Diavel’s eyes.
Diavel couldn’t understand.
The fact that Vissus didn’t even suspect that she was the reincarnation of Bell from her previous life.
Although Vissus inherited the memories and experiences as a mercenary secretary, Diavel couldn’t even imagine that she was Bell’s reincarnation, as he strongly believed that she was the final boss.
Therefore, to Vissus, Diavel was nothing more than a formidable enemy that she had to stop, and someone precious whom she had finally met again and had to protect.
For Diavel, who didn’t know this fact, it was unbearable pain to accept her master as an adversary.
Kwagwagwagwa
It was a powerful storm of destruction that could destroy everything, but when the power of the three people came together, they were able to block it sufficiently.
“Haa… haa…”
A shining hero and their comrades.
That was all Diavel could see in his eyes.
And he himself was the villain who had to be subdued by that hero.
Kwaduk
No.
I can’t accept it.
My master is my master.
Who are you to try to take away my master!
Diabel inserted his hand into his own heart.
By destroying his heart, he could temporarily regain the state of his past life.
By doing so, he could erase all those women and retrieve his master!
With a resolute determination, Diabel looked back at the Secretaries.
!!!!
“Then… it’s settled. Live, Bell. You must live….”
In that moment, scenes from his past life brushed against Diabel’s mind.
Thud.
Diabel’s hand fell weakly once again.
The pact that had bound his past self to his master, it had returned like this….
Thump.
Diabel clenched his fists tightly.
For now… yes.
For now, I will step back.
But.
But someday, I will reclaim it all.
To my beloved mentor.
Ooong
Diavel’s body turned into smoke and slowly disappeared.
As Diavel, the core of the storm, vanished, the raging storm of magic that seemed to devour everything also quieted down and concealed its form.
“It’s… over.”
Bissus, who confirmed the disappearance of the storm of magic, put away the shield of divine power.
Diavel’s rampage.
Something that had never happened in [Eclipse].
It was the first attack from the beginning.
It’s unthinkable that such a huge incident could happen.
Did Diavel run away?
Bissus recalled Diavel’s strength that he had seen in [Eclipse].
The power to fight against the entire continent if he put his heart into it.
But he retreated without putting his heart into it.
Why?
Was there a reason for it?
Come to think of it, Diavel’s condition was a bit strange.
‘Why!’
Diavel, who seemed to be screaming, rather than the appearance of the final boss he knew, with no blood or tears….
A familiar sight in a different sense.
It was a kind of appearance that seemed familiar from somewhere.
Have we met in a past life?
In a moment of contemplation, Versus momentarily turned his thoughts back to the dreams he had been having.
“Sir!”
“Gasp!”
Robina hugged him from behind.
“hehehehe. I really like you, sir…”
“…Cutie.”
As for Diablo’s affairs, he could think about them later.
For now, Robina, whom he had met again, was more important.
Versus turned around and faced Robina, embracing her.
“……Ha.”

Watching that scene from afar, the chief of police grinned coldly.
* * *
The forbidden forest, far away from the Richten Academy.
Diablo crossed the barrier that was situated in the deepest part of the forbidden forest.
Woong
As Diablo entered the barrier, something in the form of a human approached her.
It was a familiar, Hoomunculus, the witch’s minion.
“I’ve come to meet the Grandmother.”
Upon hearing Diablo’s voice, Homunculus briefly scanned her body.
Squeak.
After the scan, Homunculus turned the doorknob in the air. As she did, a mysterious-shaped door appeared in thin air.
Homunculus opened the door and gestured inside.
Diablo slowly walked into the room.
Inside the room, there was a long corridor.
As they walked further inside the corridor, a building appeared that could only be thought of as a witch’s house due to its mysterious nature.
“It’s been a while.”
A woman’s voice came from behind Diablo as they entered the building.
“I never expected you to come find me in person. Surprising, Diablo.”
Diablo turned his head in the direction of the voice.
Standing there was a witch who had the exact same face and appearance as when he met his mercenary secretary, Vesper, in a previous life, despite thousands of years having passed.
“Should I call you Bell?”
