As expected, you have the ability, the Evil Gods.
How nice it would be if these skills contributed to something good, such as the well-being of this world.
I received the invitation sent by Verbüt through a person and waved it like a fan, smirking.
“Then the invitation was resolved.”
The only way to get me safely to the center of the maze is to leave it entirely to Zero.
“If senior Kane comes, I won’t be able to get over one or two candies.”
Seeing my tired gaze, Zero muttered burdensomely.
When I first played with them, I gave each of them a jar of candy instead of money.
Maybe that’s why, after playing games with candy and running errands or taking out laundry instead of doing errands, they exchanged things like this, and now it seems to have become a kind of currency within our party.
I smiled at him and opened my mouth.
“How different are you going?”
At my words, Zero crossed his arms, tilted his head to the side, and even made a sound like a uhm, and he thought about it quite seriously.
“Even if you can’t… As much as this… … .”
Roughly 1/3 of the bottle. Rachel sat on a table that wasn’t even a chair and screamed at something.
“No, that’s not so much!”
“that’s right. That’s too much.”
And Luna, who kept holding something by Rachel’s side, nodded and said a word, and Riff opened her mouth.
– This is an unfair price.
As expected, candy is a bit like that. As I nodded at Luna, Rachel, and Leaf’s reactions, Zero opened his mouth a bit sullenly.
“Ah, then a smaller amount… … .”
“I need to get half a bottle!”
“I agree with Rachel.”
―Actually, I think you can accept everything except a little bit.
“Look, you should get more than half a leaf.”
No, what the hell did you do with the candy, so it’s so valuable?
I shook my head.
“Zero has a lot of work to do today. Same with Rachel.”
“Oh, don’t worry, don’t worry. I won’t buy it! Oh, can you not hit anyone?”
I looked at Rachel with slightly unreliable eyes and shook my head.
I want to take only zero with my heart. When we are in the middle of the maze, we need someone to figure out the dynamics of the outside.
In fact, having a reserve is an advantage in any situation no matter what.
‘First of all, the fact that Verbut is attending is itself a problem.’
Only one Kane was missing, but the number of cases I could choose and the combat power of our squad had plummeted, so the option to just leave was completely deleted.
Actually, this is correct, because the rest of our party isn’t weak, Kane alone is the type to break through the numbers.
I will also take this opportunity to reduce my Kane dependence.
“Ah, these are a bit old too.”
“Is it still worth eating?”
I rummaged through my luggage and laughed a little when I saw Luna who kept stuffing things like old beef jerky into Rachel’s mouth.
―It seems that a carriage has arrived in front of the inn.
I nodded once at Riff’s words, grabbed the scruff of my neck, and released it with a crackling sound, laughing.
“Then let’s go.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“I will be back. Are you taking the leftover beef jerky with you?”
“I’m coming.”
I took a step outside, brushing the golden hair that fell in front of my eyes.
After that, Zero pulled on her white leather gloves and strode forward, and Rachel followed, biting and chewing the long piece of beef jerky like a reed.
The long red ponytail stretched like a ribbon lost in the wind.
“I’ll prepare a late-night snack for you to eat when you return.”
―Please go, manager.
There was a thud behind him and the sound of the door closing.

Make your hair more fluffy like cotton candy.
Her cloud-like hair was decorated with cute daisy flowers.
Verbütt looked at himself in the mirror and raised the corners of his mouth.
“It’s like everyone’s first love. it is not so?”
Innocent, cute, and aegyo. It was a pity that I had to go to a garden party with Adelian today even though I was so cute.
“I’m going to watch the game today.”
If you go too far with someone who is originally low in rank, you will end up in the same class.
Thanks to meeting Adelian a few times lately, I felt that Verbüth’s own reputation had been slightly tarnished.
Moderately, through the church members, the pure and soft-hearted Verbut is spreading it to the extent that he is treating the crazy Adelian without prejudice.
‘I can’t lower my value any more.’
So today, the moment you confirm that Adelian is infatuated with you, grab him and swing him.
Originally, the human mind seems to be something you can have, but you become more obsessed with things you can’t have.
Just as Verbut himself covets Gadia and the Kruger family.
‘So if I confess today, let’s keep our distance for a few days.’
With a big smile, Verbut sprinkled hydrangea incense on her body and headed to the garden party hosted by Shahahahad, the 12th prince.
“Just before arriving. How about Prince Adelian?”
＜I will arrive soon.＞
A voice transmitted to the brain through the babbling sirens.
Verbite rolled her eyes like a fox and smiled.
Only once, the man I identified with the doppelganger potion.
A man with the most perfect appearance he had ever seen.
Is that all? Dirty and lowly, but cute and lovable in terms of appearance, tall men who are attractive in a different sense, as well as inorganic doll-like girls and strong women.
It is an artifact like this while the value of the people Adelian has is skyrocketing.
I didn’t know the value of this before I tried it, but now I’m sure.
Even if Adelian himself was a fool with no value.
Except for that, everything else is so attractive.
Verbütt laughed merrily as he rode in the carriage.
“Shall I give you flowers as soon as you get off the carriage? Or inside the party?”
Confessing in a place with too many people is burdensome. If you behave a little bit, will you be nice to me?
Slowly, the carriage door opened, and Verbütt patted his wavy hair once and then gently looked away.
“I’m here?”
“Yes, Prince Adelian.”
Adelian, who was escorted by an attendant and slowly got off the carriage, approached Verbütte, and there was not a single flower in sight, let alone a bouquet.
Verbite, who was strangely offended by that, greeted him with a forced smile, but Adelian, as if he knew what was inside, did not extend his hand with that arrogant face and looked towards the entrance of the mansion.
“Let’s go in.”
“… is it so.”
what?
this anxiety.
It is true that Adelian fell for her. If not, there is no reason to give yourself an artifact like a siren, keep in touch every day, and have meals in the city often.
There was nothing when I checked to see if I was meeting other noble ladies there.
It was said that he met a woman who was said to wear rose-scented perfume only in the beginning, but nothing was reported after that.
Verbute followed Adelian into the garden party with a kind and innocent face on her face.
“Look at that tree. The northern… … .”
“How about this flower? It is a precious flower that contains mana enough to be used as a medicine or catalyst.”
“The maze is also a full-fledged crab made of shrubs much taller than a person. Shall we go in?”
It is a beautiful garden that must have put a lot of effort into it. How can I speak in a place like this… … .
Verbutt’s gaze scanned the fountain once and the maze once.
Shahahahad, who opened the party, did not look ill again, but people were enjoying the party regardless.
“Berbut.”
“Yes, Prince Adelian.”
Verbute, who had been glaring at Adelian’s back like something that was aiming for prey, quickly relaxed his eyes and stared at Adelian who turned to himself.
“Actually, I had something to tell you today.”
‘come.’
Seeing Adelian speak with a slightly awkward smile, Verbut held back his cheers, widened his round eyes and tilted his head.
“What are you going to say?”
“… It’s a bit different here.”
Adelian glanced at the maze and nodded.
“Shall we play hide and seek?”
‘No, what an annoying hide-and-seek. Just go inside the maze and confess.’
Slightly annoyed, Verbut pretended not to notice and nodded.
“great! I think it will be fun!”
“Then, Verbut, hide first. i’ll find it soon See you later.”
Verbut and Adelian looked at each other and smiled slowly.
* * *
good. Verbutt got away with it for a while.
“Rachel, look closely to see if there are any other tails along with Verbut.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my eyes open while pretending to eat the party food over there.”
It was obvious that I was eating, not pretending to eat, but I nodded.
“Zero, guide me.”
“yes. Adelian.”
In a fairly wide maze, according to Zero, a barrier was placed with magic so that it could not go to the center and hovered around the outskirts.
“Put your badge on now.”
After passing through a fork in the road a few times, no one is seen. I took the black robe out of subspace, shared it with Zero, and put the deterioration badge on it.
Perhaps, in response to this, he might have placed a magic that interfered with the effect of the cognitive reduction magic.
This badge was made by the high elf Gamur, so it should be fine.
“From this side, you have to go inside the bush like this, not the fork in the road.”
When Zero opens the center of the shrub with his fingertips, the space filled with leaves instead of branches opens like a door.
“If Kane senior had been here, he would have come a little faster and more comfortably… … .”
“I still have enough. Then I’ll go in, so be nervous.”
After taking out the herb that slightly hurt my voice from the subspace, chewing it and swallowing it, I took a deep breath.
Maybe they’ll try to negotiate after overpowering us.
After checking the Aegis once, I entered the center of the maze. And there, along with the tea table, sat Shahahahad with a hard face.
“… you.”
“Yeah, I guess you checked.”
cracked and muddy voice. I let out a different voice than usual and sat down in front of Shahahahad.
Zero behind me. Behind Shahahahad is his lieutenant.
As we stared at each other, I leaned back in my chair and lifted the tip of my chin and smiled.
“… how did you know Until now, neither the royal doctors nor the mages who regularly checked my body knew about it.”
“They are not incompetent. It is neither disease nor magic.”
At my words, Shahahahad’s red-gold eyes darkened.
“But how do you know?”
“Do you doubt me? Do you think I brought up the word to take advantage of you long after I ruined your talent?”
It’s been a while since I acted in the dark, so it’s fun.
I laughed heartily and joyfully, but thanks to my cracked voice, the laughter spread in all directions, very dark and dark.
“If not… How did you know and approach it?”
Shahahahad glares at me and pulls out some parchments from his bosom.
It’s a familiar texture.
I calmly opened my mouth.
“Is that important? I don’t understand. If you wish, I swear by the contract of God, not the one who bound your talents.”
“sun. that oath.”
Dark, resentful eyes. Anger and hatred with nowhere to go. And very low expectations.
It’s not like I’m good at reading people’s minds or knowing everything just by looking into their eyes.
That much, Shahahahad must be boiling inside to the extent that I, who is no different from an ordinary person, know.
I opened my mouth by writing in the contract of God that if it is not true, I will be punished immediately.
“I swear I did not seal the talent of Shahahahad, 12th Prince of Tateria, for the intentions of me or the place I belong to.”
After my words, the god’s contract shone for a moment and then disappeared.
And the light stained with hatred, anger, doubt and obsession subsides in Shahahahad’s eyes.
“after… … .”
Shahahahad, who was struggling to catch his breath, raised his head a little, and an aide standing behind him took out a small bottle of medicine from his chest.
Shahahahad, who took it without water and swallowed it, slowly lowered his gaze and stared at me.
“… What do you want?”
A slightly hushed voice. However, only those eyes did not die and sprinkled a reddish-gold light.
