“What is this?”
A notification popped up in front of you.

On a translucent window that I haven’t seen in a long time, I wondered how I could have forgotten this all this time, it was written:
[Something special has been discovered. It is currently being adjusted.]
[please wait for a moment.]
Uniqueness?
adjusting?
This was something I had never seen before, even when playing the original game.
No, it’s more like… .
[This is the one.]
As I was contemplating, Sbangali let out a deep sigh.
[In case this may be our last, let’s talk about it now.]
“What?”
Svengali spoke to me in a sullen voice.
[I don’t know you, but if I’m wrong, I might die here.]
If that’s the case, then, as a final gift, I’ll tell you all I know.
With those words, Sbangali firmly shut her mouth.
“Hey, what does that mean? Hey Sbengali. hey!”
[…] … .]
No matter how much I called him, he remained silent.
I could feel the irritability creeping up on me in an incomprehensible situation.
what.
what the hell
Now, when I couldn’t even figure out what the hell this was in, I started ringing again and a clear sound that didn’t fit the situation resounded.
It was the sound of the notification window being updated.
[After careful review, it has been determined that there is no problem.]
[I sincerely apologize for causing concern with an unsatisfactory matter.]
[As a reward, the one that is currently most useful to you will be paid out in the near future.]
[As always, best wishes for your survival.]
That was the end.
With that, the notification window disappeared as if nothing had happened, even the record of the content that had just come to mind.
As if everything that had just happened was my mistake, I immediately asked the guy who seemed to know about this.
“Explain.”
[…] … .]
“You don’t know what’s going on. What is this… .”
[Hey, do you remember what I said before?]
Sbangali opened her mouth quietly.
His voice was so quiet that he had never seen it before.
It was like a heavy weight hung from his tongue.
[The Seven Evil Orders said that they do not want everyone to die, and each has an obsession with life to some degree.]
me too
I don’t want to die either.
He muttered like a whimper.
[Margot said that the fear of death was particularly outstanding among us, but I also did not want to die to the extent that it was comparable to that.]
I don’t want to die.
[I don’t even want to know what it’s like to fall into a sleep from which you can’t wake up, to sink into a darkness you can’t get out of again. That’s why I wanted to continue living without dying, even if I live like a parasite by clinging to you ugly to the point of throwing away everything from when I was a seven-evil bell, to please you.]
“… … .”
For the first time, I could feel the unstoppable sincerity in his words.
Sbengali spoke as if pleading with me.
[I don’t want to die. And I’ve already been warned several times.]
He made a crackling, beak-banging sound.
[However… Yeah, maybe it’s okay for me to tell you this for now.]
“… What do you mean?”
[Arriman.]
Sbangali struggled to spit out someone’s name.
He continued his speech with a cautious attitude, as if he was making a confession, as if he was pressing down on each letter.
[Ahriman, everything is his fault. In the first place, it was just that, and your memories were jagged… All have to do with Ariman. In the first place, the only person capable of doing this is Ariman, and that person is the only one. There is only him.]
“Ariman… .”
Ariman.
The name was always in a place where the English language was unknown and far from reality.
But I knew nothing about him.
Just that he is a member of the Seven Evil Orders.
Like an Easter egg, only the name is mentioned in the original, so they don’t even know what it looks like.
that abilities are related to space.
All I knew was them.
[However… Yes, I have to tell you this.]
Sbangali sighed as if she was holding her breath.
[You are already Margo and I, Svengalli. I met and killed two of the Seven Evil Bells, absorbed their energy and accepted their power. And if you keep going like this, you will eventually meet Ariman.]
“… … .”
[Because he was the one who gathered us in the first place and tied us up under the name of the Seven Devils.]
“Wait, is it that Ariman was the one who gathered you and created the Seven Evil Bells?”
[It didn’t make us. I just called. However… okay.]
He chuckled and burst out laughing.
[You know? Me and Margot hated each other to death, Milited acted as if he liked it, but calmly looked for a chance to slay us. Minerva, Venus, and Juno. These three probably won’t stop fighting until the last one remains. Did you think that we could have been carrying the same name because we wanted it?]
Sbangali murmured.
[There are only three things that have been unsealed: Dry, I, and Ahri. However, from the point in time when more than three seals are released, the other seals naturally collapse one after the other. In fact, here I have been contemplating and doubting many things.”
“… what is that?”
[The purpose of Ariman.]
A crackling sound was heard.
It was proof that the guy’s emotions were fluctuating.
The squeaking sound gradually began to fill the surroundings, as if turning up the volume with the remote control.
The room is filled with noise like paint spreading.
[I can’t even figure out what his purpose is. The purpose of Margot was to get rid of all the weights and beings that could be the cause of death and that could kill him, and in my case, the purpose of raising and managing humans. Before that, I was creating my own paradise. But I have no idea what his purpose is.]
“… What about the other guys?”
[In Milited’s case, acquiring the power to handle time. I’ve never been very close to Minerva, Venus, or Juno, but they each had their own purpose. … But Ariman has no purpose, and his actions are strange. it’s been like that ever since He gathered us together and bound us under the name of the Seven Devils, and never showed up. … No, not even once.]
squeaky sound.
square square.
[Why did you touch the seal? It’s dry with me too… Picking up the two of us who are the weakest among the Seven Evils. why? Still, he came to us, freed from the seals, and said, let us do what we want It doesn’t matter what you do in this world. Do you wish for the destruction of the world as it appears in a third-rate novel? Then, why didn’t you unlock the seals of those three earlier? In the first place, we put restrictions on our actions and cleverly changed that direction. Maybe I was also a horse placed on the chess board? What do you want, Ariman? What are you… .]
“Sbengali.”
I called out his name to tell him to calm down.
The only sounds of the world I could hear now were the sounds of squeaking and the guy’s words.
squeaky sound.
[There is a guy… Why then… !]
“Sbangali!”
When I called out his name, a squeaking sound suddenly disappeared and disappeared.
The tinnitus left in my ear was painful and I frowned, so he apologized to me.
[…] I’m sorry.]
“Did you calm down?”
[okay… Thanks to.]
He mumbled with a snapping sound.
[Damn it, no more. Come on, let me tell you one last thing. Maybe this will be an important clue to you.]
The energy of Sbangali who muttered like that was shaking uneasy.
Was this the warning he was talking about?
But he just smiled and spoke to me.
[The fact that I was sealed was the beginning of the world tree clan… It is said that it is said that it was sealed by the shaman of the first World Tree.]
The friend who died to you and became my flesh and blood told me.
I heard that it is a very important relic for the World Tree clan.
[Let me tell you an interesting fact.]
He made a sound of banging his beak.
[The one who sealed me was the shaman of the first world tree… So, it was Ariman, not her ancestor.]
Margo, who was beaten and sealed by humans like an asshole.
Minerva sealed herself after losing a bet with a human.
Milited no one knows why he was sealed.
[Except for these three… I, Venus, and Juno. It is said that Ariman was the one who sealed these three.]

“Hey, Jihyuk!”
They clapped hands in front of their eyes.
When he turned his head, Han Soo-young’s face, looking worriedly at him, came right in front of him.
“it’s okay?”
Saying so, she carefully placed her hand on my forehead.
Then, as if to compare, he tilted his head while placing his hand on his forehead.
“There is no fever… .”
I carefully grabbed her hand and lowered it.
Choi Hyun-woo and Jin Ye-seul were watching right next to him, and above all, it was because his head was very complicated.
“sorry. I just have something to worry about.”
“What’s going on, you’re so serious?”
“It’s just a personal matter, so let me tell you. But it’s really no big deal. No need to worry.”
Even if he said that, Han Soo-young still looked worried.
She had so many things she wanted to say, but she was staring at me with her lips closed, as if she was barely holding it in.
“It seemed so serious for something like that.”
It seems that Choi Hyun-woo, who doesn’t say anything like this for a while, seemed serious enough to add a word.
After shaking my head for a while, I smiled and said.
“Did you look like that because you were hungry? Come to think of it, we all said we wanted to eat something delicious, so we had a simple breakfast too. When I’m really hungry, I become very sensitive.”
“… … .”
She looked at Jin Ye-seul as if she was asking for help, but she was just staring at him with no expression on her face.
It was as if he was slowly observing this side to find out what had happened to me.
“… If you do this, you will feel embarrassed for nothing.”
I sighed.
What should I say?
As I pondered like that, I immediately came up with a good excuse.
“Yeah, there’s no use hiding it. In fact, why did I… It was because of Yuna.”
sorry.
I’m really sorry, but let’s just sell your name once.
By now, I was thinking about why I was probably sleeping on the bed with a colorful and even breathing sound and continued the conversation.
“You know too. Yuna, she’s been very sick these days.”
“that… right.”
“… … .”
It’s Han Soo-young, who has never had much of a relationship with Lee Yu-na. Even so, Choi Hyeon-woo, who has wide feet, and Jin Ye-seul, who is close with her, nodded obediently.
I continued speaking with a worried expression on my face.
“Maybe it’s just that I’m doing this, but… He said that he was worried about whether it was because they were taking classes under the same advisor, and because they had been involved in various things in the past. The reason I had a slightly serious expression earlier was because I suddenly thought of Yuna.”
“… I see.”
Fortunately, the three of them seemed to be somewhat convinced.
Choi Hyun-woo patted my shoulder with a smile that made the viewers feel reassured.
“Let’s go visit the hospital together later. I heard that his condition has improved a bit.”
“… As I go, should I organize my notes or bring them to me? Even if it’s different, it’s better than nothing.”
Han Soo-young muttered like that.
With a secret sigh, the first time was when I told them to go to a restaurant and do a simple yogi.
“But Jihyuk.”
“yes?”
“Yuna?”
“uh?”
Han Soo-young said with a bright smile.
“It took me and Hyeonu a long time to call me by name, and it was so hard… Somehow, it seems that other people call it so easily?”
“… … .”
At that moment, Hyunwoo Choi also flinched and trembled.
He turned his head to look at me, and somehow his eyes seemed to rebuke me.
‘It’s George.’
It seems that Han Soo-young’s words just touched one of his revolts.
As I was contemplating what to do in this situation where even the most reliable ally turned away, I felt someone tap and tap my shoulder.
I wondered if it was Yeseul, but she was standing on my left, not my right.
Then it was when I turned my head and looked back thinking about who the hell it was.
“Hey, excuse me.”
As soon as I turned my head, the first thing that caught my eye was silver hair.
silver hair.
There was only one human being with silver hair.
Laura Hartmann, a member of the Ten River and called the Paladin.
She was standing right behind me.
“Lee Myung-joon, is that the slimy guy Yoo Ji-hyuk was talking about right?”

Originally, she would have worn heavy armor, but now she was wearing jeans and a hoodie, which in a way made her look slimmer.
“If it’s okay with you, can I talk to you for a moment?”
As she rewrote the cap engraved with the initials of the baseball team that played last in the last decade, she showed a beautiful smile.
