Meanwhile, Zain was lying on the bed and quietly closed his eyes.
Instead of falling asleep, his mind was very clear. He was just disguised as if he had fallen asleep. Taking in and exhaling regularly, he was waiting for someone to visit.
‘If you check the traces I left, surely the heir will come to me today.’
The cannibal flower Laplus was not an ordinary, painstakingly nurtured monster. The traces of pouring out magic every day were clearly visible. In other words, the successor who had already raised Laplus by now would have confirmed that Laplus was dead. Jain set up a trap to catch the heir. The fruit of Laplus, which had a poison that fatally weakens the enchantment resistance, was left with teeth marks as if he had intentionally eaten it.
‘The medicinal effect of the fruit of Laplus lasts for at least 6 hours. So.’
After tonight, the effect was over. Realizing that fact, he was convinced that, even in a crowd, he would come to seduce him and make him a prisoner tonight.
‘If you come, catch it.’
A scenario such as the successor of the Demon King who was hiding in Rotern was something I had never seen in the original. It must have been part of the Jinmahuang scenario. Remove them early, before they grow into larger variables. Zain was so determined and laid on the bed, holding his breath.
squeaky…
As expected, it was late at night when someone opened the door. I’m here. Zain deliberately turned around and lay down. The midnight intruder walked into the bed softly, without even making a sound of footsteps. And then, he tried to lift his quilt. Jain got up from his seat at that moment and grabbed the white wrist.
“This child has finally been caught. It is time for interrogation.”
At that shout, the lights in the cafe, which had been immersed in silence, started to turn on one by one. Helena was the first to react. Dressed in black pajamas, she grabbed a lantern and opened Jain’s door.
“what? What’s up? Did you catch any thieves?”
“I captured the remains of the heir who had sneaked into my room.”
Seeing Jain speaking with a triumphant expression on her face, and seeing a woman kneeling in handcuffs, Herena said in a bewildered way.
“Are you Ren? Are you kidding me right now?”
“right! Me, that’s me!”
Ren shouted in a trembling voice with shame. I had no idea what the hell was going on with this. But Jain was immovable. Jain soon briefly explained why the Heir had no choice but to break into his room today. Hearing this, Helena grinned and spoke again.
“But this is definitely Ren.”
“The successor must be a succubus from the original race. And, the succubus doesn’t reveal itself easily. Look at the people around you. This guy is imitating Ren now.”
As he slapped Ren’s cheek with Gramhild’s old scabbard that he had bought during the day, Zain put the threat down. It was unfortunate for Ren. How could such a clever coincidence overlap? So Ren, who had been actively protesting, kept his mouth shut at the next words.
“But somehow, this is Ren, right?”
“Because it’s not. I’m saying this because I’m not here right now, but I trust him more than anyone at this party.”
“Ugh.”
At that, Ren’s face turned red. Zain said as he slapped Ren’s cheek with Gramhild’s scabbard once more.
“And also nice.”
“… ah.”
“Careful,”
“… ”
“He’s quiet, so he’s not the kind of guy who would go into a man’s room recklessly. Because the last time that happened, I promised not to do it again. It’s natural.”
“Huh, okay?”
Helena smiled and looked at Ren. Ren’s face was so red that he couldn’t blush any longer. Jain, on the other hand, said, wielding the scabbard triumphantly like a judge slashing down a stick.
“So, this guy must be a fake.”
“Oh, yes, I am fake! A succubus in disguise!”
In the end, Ren gave up and admitted it. When Helena saw that, she burst into laughter. That misunderstanding was cleared up after a while.
“really? Amnesia?”
Instead, another misunderstanding arose. It was because Ren, who was bewildered, suffered from amnesia and made the excuse that he had just entered any room. Ren smiled awkwardly and took a sip of the cocoa. Everyone was woken up by the commotion that had happened earlier, and they were sitting around Ren and sitting at the table.
‘It’s a stupid excuse I made in a hurry, but everyone believes it.’
Ren felt a bit of guilt as he looked at his worried gaze. Especially because of Nael. She grabbed her hand and asked with tears in her eyes.
“Ren, do you remember who I am? Are you friends?”
“uh… I think I can remember… do you?”
“what should we do… Forgetting all the friendship-filled adventures we had together… ”
It seems that there was no such adventure, but Ren smiled vaguely with a sense of remorse. On the other hand, Elaine was constantly yawning. He was so sleepy that he didn’t even know what was going on.
“Then can I go back to sleep? I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
“I’m going to drop my chin. good.”
Elaine, who continued to yawn while wearing a childish sleeping hat, got up and staggered up to the room. He took the wrong direction and even hit a pole once. Seeing this, Ren burst into laughter. It was an act that he had always seen. Then, Karin asked Ren with a suspicious look.
“Are you sure you lost your memory?”
“No, that’s right. Beautiful Young Ae.”
“Really? So, you don’t even remember who this guy is?”
“I don’t know.”
Karin pulled Jain’s arm and asked. Ren shook his head. Karin crossed her arms and muttered to herself.
“Huh, that’s right… ”
Karin then sneaked up close to Ren and whispered in her ear.
“He and I are very good friends. Not long ago, he kissed the cheek.”
“Oh, did I do that too?”
“What, what?”
Karin, who was taking this opportunity to start taking medicine, was startled by the words and stood up. And he screamed and pointed.
“This guy hasn’t lost his memory either! It’s acting, acting!”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“You just did!”
“I can’t remember, but maybe we didn’t get along very well. When I first saw you, I thought it would be nice to be friends with such a beautiful person… ”
“Brother, friend… That’s right, though.”
As Ren mumbled softly while covering his mouth with his hand, Karin couldn’t do this or that, and went back and forth. Helena intervened in the confusion.
“Then do you remember who I am?”
“Perhaps the owner of this cafe?”
“yes! And you called me sister!”
“sister… okay.”
“And by the way, I felt sorry for this older sister, who is always in deficit, so she said that she worked at this cafe for the rest of her life without pay… ah!”
“Don’t be silly.”
Jain took the last step, squeezing Helena’s head, who was secretly trying to make an unfair contract. Zain grabbed Ren’s shoulders and asked seriously while making eye contact.
“Really, you have no idea who I am?”
“… yes.”
Ren, feeling remorseful, said, avoiding his gaze. And with his head turned to the side, he muttered softly.
“But, I feel like I was a very important person.”
“Wait a minute, can I check the condition?”
Ren nodded. Zain mobilized all his magic to check Ren’s status abnormality. After 5 minutes of inspection, Jain shook his head and muttered.
“No matter how much I search, there is no sign of a major condition such as memory loss.”
“Is not it! I told you, he’s lying now!”
“No, this guy can’t lie.”
Karin muttered triumphantly. Ren bowed his head. It was because when he saw Jain’s blurred expression, the remorse of conscience came to an uncontrollable level. Stop growing your business, don’t betray someone who trusts you like that, and confess. I said it was just because I was shy…
“This is a soul breakdown.”
“Soul Weakness?”
Jain was confident in himself. When you catch a high-ranking monster like Laplus, there is a certain probability that the status ailment you get is the soul weakness. Since this is a system condition, it cannot be caught by ordinary magic. A person who suffers from this will experience a loss of memory, and then the affinity will be reset. The solution was determined.
“wren. You may not remember, but I was your colleague.”
“yes? yes… ”
“So, can you make time for me just for one day tomorrow?”
“Hey, are you asking for a date?”
“yes. Tomorrow, please make me happy. Take your time.”
By spending a day with the heroine, it was meant to fill the level of happiness to the maximum.
‘Me, me, for the first time, such an application.’
Hearing that, Ren couldn’t stop confessing the truth and nodded his head.
