(EP.137)Time of Exam #5
137 – Trial Time with Imps #5
Blood was dripping from the middle finger of my left hand, which had been cut in the cutlery.
It wasn’t very painful and it wasn’t a deep wound, but when I saw my blood, I felt a little reluctant. It’s embarrassing.
But aren’t the imps around me making more noise than the actually injured me?
“Blood, it bleeds… ! He might die… !”
“It’s scary… !”
Are you afraid of blood?
Things like that happen, too.
Perhaps it was the same for Marmar, as he looked at my injured hand and shook his tail with an uneasy feeling.
“wait! I’ll bandage it right away!”
“What is a bandage? It’s like this, if you just lick it-.”
phlegmatic.
Then I felt something flashing in my head. blood anyway. I thought I might be able to feed this to Marmar.
“I have a wound in my mouth. Marmar, would you mind licking me instead?”
“okay-!?”
It’s kind of weird to ask someone to lick your finger. If it was a remote and broad Marmar, he might not refuse.
In fact, Marmar did not refuse and put my finger in her mouth.
With this, it can be said that feeding my blood to Marmar was successful.

Now was the time to see what would happen.
“Has the blood stopped now?”
Marmar opened her mouth as if nothing had happened and looked at my hand. He even put a band-aid on his hand, but nothing else happened.
what.
What’s wrong with the method?
Maybe it was my fault for believing Gargar’s nonsense.
I wonder if Professor Balan knows how the christening ceremony is held. I’ll ask you later.

Our dinner was very late because we had a lot of things going on. However, Marmar’s fried pork cutlet was very tasty and the satisfaction was high.
“Rather than buying what was made. It’s cheaper to buy meat and breadcrumbs and fry them yourself… !”
Marmar said that she cooks most of the food herself.
I’ve known since I was sorting out my paperwork, but it tasted similar to selling outside to see if I had good dexterity. It is said that it is good enough to sell in the market.
“I haven’t told you before, but Marmar’s pork cutlet is very delicious… ! It’s edible even without the sauce… !”
“If you want to keep eating, you too have to pay for the food now. okay?”
“I knew… . After all, we also succeeded in finding employment under the imp quota system, so from now on, we will make sure that we pay our food expenses fairly… !”
“okay? Where did you work?”
Marmar was delighted with the feeling of seeing the Baeksoo family, who had been playing at home, get a job. Then the armband Imp Tartar proudly spread his broad chest.
“We became professors’ assistants… ! Now that I’ve joined as an assistant to a prominent professor called Professor Belhawk, I’m on a solid road… !”
“Garre-.”
They explained that they plan to infiltrate the Ark as intellectuals and spies of the bourgeoisie. Being a professor’s assistant is part of that.
“Hmm.”
There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but I decided to just put up with it. Marmar also seems to be saying something, but just shuts her mouth.
Since I became an assistant in charge of Professor Belhawk, who is called the grave of assistants, well, I think it’s best to think of it as punishment for inflicting evil on Marmar.
So, should a person live a good life?
Suddenly, I wondered what Professor Belhawk was doing now.
She is also one of the targets I need revenge on.
Lectures are turned into self-study through teaching assistants, and even when they visit the lab, they are always vacant, so there is no way to approach this or that.
Are you deliberately avoiding me, noticing that I’m going to unleash my magical powers on you?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, I don’t think so.
As I was sitting outside for a while, looking at the bonfire of the drum and contemplating, Marmar offered me something.
It was a drink full of angled ice. I drink it and it is very sweet. Should I say it tastes like cocoa?
“Today, I received a lot of help from my comrades. thank you… !”
“… … .”
Saying thank you makes me feel awkward whenever I hear it. So, I scrambled for an answer.
“Yeah, what. Because it was such an obvious scam. Anyone would have done it like me.”
“is it. I didn’t know. I can’t even figure out the obvious scam. Am I stupid?”
“No, of course, I am not blaming you, Marmar. Because I was a third person-.”
As I panicked, Marmar quickly laughed as if she had seen something funny. It was only then that I realized that I had been attacked by Marmar.
Marmar made fun of me.
Such a point was an ungodly goblin.
Marmar said.
“It’s not my fault. But I really thought I could hear the Demon Lord’s voice.”
“okay?”
“okay! There was something I wanted to ask you!”
Is there something Marmar wants to ask the Demon King? I was just curious personally, so I decided to suggest what it was.
“What did you want to ask? If you don’t want to talk, don’t say it.”
“No, it’s not really a big secret! What I wanted to ask was… .”
“What?”
“… Won’t you even tell me!”
“What, are you kidding me?”
“right! Actually, I also like to lie and cheat. It’s an imp.”
It’s Marmarda who smiles slyly. Then, when the laughter gradually stopped, Marmar said.
“Am I doing well? I just wanted to ask.”
“Are you doing well?”
“okay! I am working hard on my own. I don’t know if this is really the right way. What if I knew what I was trying to do was meaningless?”
“Hmm. That’s it.”
Marmar seemed to be feeling her own insecurity about the direction in which she was living.
If the Demon King shows up and says, “Marmar, you are doing well right now,” it will be very comfortable for Marmar.
So I decided to tell you instead.
“Marmar, you are doing well.”
“okay?”
“okay. If I had been in the same position as you, Marmar, I would not have been able to live as hard as you are now.”
“is it?”
“I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m saying. I have no tail, but I can swear on it.”
“Then it will be!”
Marmar seemed to be in a good mood at my praise. If someone affirms your life, it’s only natural that you will feel empowered.
If I suddenly find that someone is looking at me, I wonder if what I am doing is the right path. Also, I thought that it would be nice if you could give me an answer on whether I was doing well in order to walk on that path.
Have I been doing well in a situation where I suddenly became possessed?
Avoid the Queen’s Execution ending. Even my own death escapes.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now, is it right that we are following the goals of Angmar’s revival, given the temporary given situation?
I don’t know because there is no one to answer.
So I just have to carve out a road that I don’t know where it ends. It’s like solving a test paper with no correct answers.
At that time, Marmar asked with a subtle feeling.
“Comrade, why are you being so nice to me? Save me from being burned at the stake.”
Well.
“Is it because Marmar you take my favours innocently? It’s a bit difficult to ask all of a sudden.”
“Are you genuinely accepting favors? What are you talking about?”
“Other guys think I’m hiding a plot behind me when I do a favor. So there are many cases where they reject my favor. But you are not.”
Marmar was a guy who could only receive favors with favors.
So I can just help it feel good and end it neatly in the line of seeing what Marmar likes.
“Then you mean nothing?”
Marmar let out a long snoring as if something was missing. It’s an unreasonable favor. To be honest, I think it’s a dubious story. I can’t believe it.
But, frankly, the favor bestowed upon Marmar was really ignorant.
If I were to add a reason, I’m actually just an ordinary human, Lee Seong-eum, so I hope that Marmar, who works hard, does well.
It seems that my former self is reflected in Marmar.
I also felt that doing good to Marmar relieved me of the guilt I had for lying and doing bad things to everyone in my life as the villain, Tae Oh Gospel.
Looking at it that way, it was not without reason to do Marmar a favor. It’s purely my selfishness.
If Marmar finds out about it, will you refuse my favor?
However, Marmar didn’t know if he knew what I was thinking and clicked his tongue.
“It’s a favor for no reason. I feel like I’m being deceived somehow. I will deceive you.”

“It was late. Isn’t it better to go to sleep?”
Marmar said he would give me his room. He gave me his room, which was relatively less destroyed, and he slept on the floor.
Of course I declined.
“Then I’m sorry.”
“It may be dangerous because there are dangerous people around the fortress. Just go to sleep!”
“Are there any dangerous guys roaming around?”
In response to my question, Marmar leaned her head towards me and said in a low voice.
“The hunters my comrade spoke of. They say they are attacking the people of the fortress and taking them down.”
“okay?”
I’ve heard rumors too. They’re wandering around Ark and the city of Gracia, killing people.
I mean, it’s killing.
Of course, I’ve heard that it’s only for those who commit crimes, such as vicious bosses who don’t pay their employees for months, or professors who stole graduate students’ thesis.

Can I still kill people so easily?
When I saw him as a character in a novel, I liked that he was cool. To think that they were actually living and breathing people around me, they were completely crazy.
Isn’t he a complete serial killer?
Why aren’t you getting arrested?
Of course I know why.
There is no group or person strong enough to arrest them. Actually, if we look at the details of the story, there are more complicated reasons, but the main reason is that they are strong.
However, I have recently been attacking dungeons faster than them and hindering growth. I have a feeling that maybe because of me, I changed the growth path from dungeon raiding to hunting the bad guys.
Is that too much of an overthinking?
Marmar added a word.
“And, there are some guys who attack imps and nymphs. Be careful.”
“Attack the imps and nymphs? Was it the hunters?”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, they wouldn’t do that.
“Then, Marmar, I’ll come to play again soon.”
“okay!”
After breaking up with Marmar, I headed to the “Sarangkan,” the dormitory for the golden brooches. Perhaps because it was late, there were no people on the site and only the glowstone was shining brightly.
It’s just creepy
Why are you so quiet?
You seem quieter than usual.
Because of the conversation I had with Marmar, I was afraid that someone might jump out and attack me. But that was just my luck, and I was able to get to the dormitory safely.

rattle.
“yes?”
As I grabbed the door, I sensed something strange.
I must have locked it tight.
The door is unlocked.
It’s okay to say that there are signs that someone broke into my room. Having suffered from all sorts of assassination risks in Angmar, I’m sensitive to places like this, so I noticed it right away.

Crackle, crumple.
I listened and saw someone in my room.
