#7 – Admit me to evil spirits (3)
Archmage Heinz barely accepted my offer. Regardless of whether it’s a suggestion or a threat, isn’t it meaningful that it’s the only way to avoid deaths?
“Boss too. It’s because you’re so soft-spoken!”
“is it.”
“If it was Lina, I would have never harvested tomatoes!”
Yeah, that’s the problem.
I was afraid of that, so I couldn’t take his side and I turned into a bastard.
“I understand that old people are useful, but if you ask me too much, I don’t even know the subject and I quickly become naive?”
“Ugh.”
“If you hand over these books one by one, you might end up in a difficult situation without that inspiration!”
Now apply that statement to yourself.
So, this is my track record for the past two years.
“Are you still happy? Because Lina, who is so smart and smart, is by her side!”
“Right. you are there.”
“So why don’t you sell your eyes to another woman? Can’t you sell your eyes to another man and grandfather?”
“What is a man and a grandfather?”
“I’m worried because the boss seldom makes Lina eat sausage. I wondered if I had a unique habit that other people didn’t know about. Silly Caesar was also an overt lover of young boys.”
I wonder if I know the taste of that fool!
Still, I think it will be of some help to change the topic.
Let’s get out of the uncomfortable atmosphere as soon as possible.
“More than that, I remember you. The taste of the guy who disappeared two years ago.”
“Even though he was an annoying guy, looking back, I don’t think he hated it. The fool and Lina were the only ones who had been helping the boss together since there was nothing, right?”
“right. Because the only ones I can tell you are direct subordinates are you and me.”
“Is it you and him?”
“Well?”
“No, nothing!”
Even though he is smiling brightly, he looks tired for some reason.
Does Lina also have unresolved concerns?
I may have been tired from going on an assassination without realizing it.
“Do you want a vacation?”
“yes?”
“You look tired.”
Lena leaned on my shoulder without trembling and murmured.
“Of course I am tired. No one but the boss recognizes Lina’s suffering.”
“I’ve been able to sound like an adult.”
“Fufu. Is Lina no longer a child like she used to be? It may still look like a child to the boss.”
It may look like a child, but not actually.
“ah. But my cute minions are an exception. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been through the same hardships, but I understand the situation. Having a subordinate gave me a better understanding of how hard the boss must have been.”
“Same trouble?”
“It’s a hardship to serve the boss of a dark organization that will destroy the world. The boss is trying to change the age of weak humans, even if it means holding the hand of immoral beings who have turned their backs on humans, right?”
Hearing Lina’s words, I felt a strange sense of disorientation.
Then I realized
By the time she was hired, a similar conversation had taken place.
‘This guy, I don’t know… Do you think that I made black mountain sashimi to do this from the beginning!?’
It’s an absurd illusion.
But I have already crossed a long way to the point where I can’t even say it’s an illusion.
If you come here and say such a thing, you will only be killed.
“Yes. In a world of losers who have yielded to nothing but a labyrinth, if they only succumb to violence intoxicated by the light of weakened good will, I will become the darkness that will engulf the world. I am the man who will subdue the world.”
“Hey! The boss is really great! No man will ever do such a great job with such a grand mission as the boss!”
“It has been a lot of work so far. You have depended on a lot, even Caesar’s share.”
Lina suddenly crawled and her cheeks reddened.
“Hey, that’s… what doesn’t come out of a sudden compliment?”
“In the future, even more severe trials await us. Are you ready to walk the path of Sura?”
“Of course! For the boss, you can assassinate anyone from the head of the church to the king of a country! The power of a girl in love is amazing!”
That’s great.
I have chills from the chilling feeling of not having goosebumps.
“Then the reward as usual…”
“If it’s the boss’s reward, is it okay to be a little lower?”
Lina grabbed my hand.
Then with a provocative smile, I lowered my hand.
From the tip of the chin to the slender neck, to the alluring collarbone, to the bottom… … .
“It’s a fun provocation. But I will not respond.”
“too bad!”
“What is the meaning of the path of Sura if I am only happy with myself.”
Lina thinks of me as some kind of Hitler.
You feel like you’re going to destroy the world.
So, if you use that as an excuse, you’ll understand.
“Really… the boss is too strict with himself.”
Lina grumbled like that with a dissatisfied expression on her face. However, soon after, he respects my decision, changes his stance, and asks me as an exclusive escort and secretary as usual.
“What are your plans for this evening? Originally, it was time to hold regular meetings with the executives of the coalition agencies.”
“As long as you have completed your solo session with the Archmage Heinz, there is no need to deal with the little things.”
“The regular meeting will be excluded from the schedule. So what time is it raining?”
“I do deep hole polishing.”
“Okay. I will activate the dedicated training mana cluster for the boss.”
The two years were not as peaceful as I had hoped, but not all the time I spent with Lina was a lie.
I’m sure Lina would think so too.
In a world full of lies, it wouldn’t hurt to have at least one true bond. With so much peace of mind, I smiled softly.

Gamer Lee Ho-yeon’s synchronization rate is 1%. No matter what emotion he has and what expression he wants to show, those feelings and expressions are never fully conveyed.
Gamers with a sync ratio of less than 10% will have languid eyes or actions and lose their delicacy.
For gamers with a synchronization ratio of 1%, the basic base is indifference, which cannot be read even a single word, and seems to be a mechanical existence that does not express even a single emotion.
At least there was a corner where I could read emotions from him.
It was his own ‘words and actions’.
Words and actions, no matter how simplified, have consequences in themselves.
That is why, even when everyone was appalled by Wilhelm Meyer’s languid eyes or his indifferent expression beyond that, he still considered him to be a human being.
Even that had disappeared at some point. All such understandings were possible only two years ago. From the day Caesar disappeared and the war of conquest failed two years ago, he has changed.
“The boss was great.”
The charisma ability has risen to the limit value.
The spirit of the boss who reached the master level has accumulated proficiency at a tremendous rate.
His presence has already reached such a great level that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a sage god.
“But… I don’t know. What the boss is thinking.”
Lina muttered with a depressed expression.
In the past, he could feel the warmth in his words and actions, but after Caesar’s death, he felt none of that.
This is because the dignity correction by the increase of the charisma ability and the increase of the boss’s spirit and skill proficiency was made to be accepted by replacing all non-authoritative aspects with authority.
“Did the boss hate Lina?”
Lina did her best to assassinate the boss to feel the emotions of the boss as before. Even if the apprentice assassins were worse than themselves, they raised talented people who could go anywhere and listen to first-class sounds.
All those who were hostile to the boss were killed, and all threats approaching secretly were excluded.
Even so, the warmth that I had previously thought would lie behind my languid eyes, the kindness I thought would have been hidden under an indifferent expression, was no longer felt.
“I don’t think so.”
Jill Lee, a girl from the assassination squad leader, offered her consolation.
“Captain Lina is the boss’s only stakeholder.”
“right?”
“I think the boss just can’t be honest with his emotions.”
Lina tilted her head.
“What do you mean? You can’t be honest with your feelings. Are you afraid that you might find out that you like Rina? Kya~!”
“The boss’s great job is to conquer the labyrinth. He also confirmed that there is no will on earth through this conversation. So, if you conquer the labyrinth, what do you think it will be like after that?”
“that… … .”
The smile that had naturally bloomed on his face quickly withered.
It was then that Lina realized.
“no. The boss never mentioned after the conquest.”
“It must be because of that.”
“I don’t know. Lina doesn’t know at all. What do you think the boss had in mind?”
Lee Jill stared at Lina with an expressionless face.
Even the poor captain wouldn’t know.
Still, I can’t say it with my own mouth, so I’m asking.
“The boss doesn’t think about the future. Surely you are going to end up in the labyrinth one way or another.”
“lie! That is a lie!”
“The boss doesn’t hate Captain Lina. He doesn’t allow his feelings even more because he cares about Captain Lina more than anyone else. So that the decision to die in the labyrinth is not clouded.”
The boss killed his emotions to break the hesitation. I don’t want to believe what he said, but I couldn’t shake the thought that she was right.
“This is cowardly. You said that if you wait two years, you will be old enough to eat the boss’s sausage. Lina believed only those words…”
“Then are you going to give up?”
“It can’t be! But… if Lina’s heart only gets in the way of the boss’s achievements…”
Jill sighed a little.
“I know the boss is important. But the most important person to me is Captain Lina.”
“dysentery…?”
“Even if it means delaying the boss’s work, I will do anything for the sake of the captain’s happiness.”
“Don’t be stupid. I’m grateful, but there’s no way that’s possible. The boss is an iron man who has so much money, doesn’t spend much, and enjoys only a little bit of luxury…”
“Still, as long as you are a man, you cannot be without desire. If you make a relationship with the boss’s meal, and Lina gives birth to a child, the labyrinth attack will inevitably be delayed.”
Lina was startled by the absurd accusations.
“What nonsense, whoa, whoa, whoa! There’s no way Lina would do something like that if you’re having s*x with a weak drug!”
“We already know that the boss’s only extravagance is the maintenance of dignity provided by Caesar’s bodyguards, our assassins, and Captain Lina.”
“What the hell is that!”
“The boss is good at killing emotions, but he can’t kill interest. The maintenance cost is proportional to the magnitude of the invisible emotions the boss has for us.”
Lina pondered the cost of maintaining dignity inwardly.
The cost of maintaining dignity is the same for one member of the SS and one assassin member. And about one hundred times the sum of the cost of maintaining the dignity of all of them is the cost of maintaining the dignity given to Lina.
Since I don’t have any change, I’m looking at the hot dogs sold at the street vendors, and since that day, I’ve been paying ridiculous amounts of money every day.
“That might… be right…”
“It looks like it has killed all emotions on the surface, but the boss hasn’t killed all emotions yet. And obviously, the feelings the boss has for Lina are not ordinary emotions.”
“Boy, isn’t it a normal feeling…?”
“If Captain Lina pushes hard, the boss will surely fall into temptation. At least until the day the child grows up and becomes an adult, I think you are the one who will pass if you ask to be together.”
“… … .”
“It must be something that Captain Lina cannot do. I thought it would.”
Yi Jill took out a dagger instead of the feeble.
“How about a catfight between women who fall in love with the same man, or quarrel?”
“Correcting that doesn’t mean the previous words will disappear!?”
Lina lightly wiped her eyes, smiling brightly, and pulled out a dagger in front of her.
Wilhelm Meyer and Lina’s feelings for each other cannot be said to be completely the same, but at least their love and respect for each other are the same.
The leader of the assassination corps had his own dissatisfaction, arguing that the guard was not too iron-walled. He only played with cute children, but only the heartfelt feelings that the parties involved could not reciprocate.
