‘…what about this?’
Now I am in a very difficult situation.
“Ugh… Black…”
Because I realized that my sister, Arya, was still worried about me.
‘Damn, I can’t do this.’
There is a reason why I erased her worries about me until I was beaten by Isolette.
All those who ‘worry’ about me in the ‘trial of the system’, an event that will happen someday, will be ‘cursed’.
So, I somehow managed to get Isolet to turn to me… A new variable appeared in front of my eyes.
“………”
As I stared at the variable in front of me like that, I closed my eyes tightly and made a decision.
“…a lot.”
“……!”
After erasing the mana of the stars that surrounded her body and giving out a sign, Araah, who was looking down at the file with trembling, widened her eyes, quickly closed the file and got up from her seat.
“Uhm? Aria-sama?”
“…shh, be quiet.”
Arya, who quietly whispered to Cadia, who woke up after hearing the presence of her presence, began to sneak up to my door.
“Aww!!”
“Ugh!!”
The next moment, the door opened with all his might, and he blew himself up and attacked me.
“What, what… Why are you doing this…”
“You, you…! I told you!! Don’t even come into our room!!”
“Ha… That’s right.”
The woman who attacked me grabbed me by the neck and started screaming, and behind her, Cadia was trembling with her pillow tightly hugged.
I looked at Cadia for a moment and then spoke to Arya, who was holding me by the collar, as if it was unfair.
“No, but still… I’ve been taking drugs, shouldn’t I be tested?”
“Please, please, shut up. Please.”
“Do you know how much money I spent on that drug? Three thousand gold! Three thousand gold! You can’t just blow that money in the air, can you?”
“Stop it. Please.”
“I’m sure it feels good to have bought the best product…”
“Stop… Stop it… Oppa…”
I was once again using the same method that made Ferroche and Isolette turn around and begging my sister to turn her back on me with this, but suddenly Arya began to cry.
“Oppa… You weren’t like this… Why are you like this…?”
I almost hugged her like I did when I was a child in response to that sudden reaction, but just before I touched her back, I came to my senses and quietly lowered my hand to the floor.
“You’re the older brother who hated this more than anyone when you were young… don’t you remember?”
“…I’m not very good.”
“I remember clearly… the older brother who said, ‘People who do that, I’ll take their bottoms off’.”
“Well, I don’t remember?”
Of course, I remember clearly what I said, but I was trying so hard to pretend I didn’t know, so Aria grabbed me and started shaking me.
“Are you under a curse? Or are you being threatened? Or…”
“Do it in moderation.”
“…Ugh!”
Arya’s remarks were starting to get more and more dangerous, so I hurriedly pushed her away and stopped talking, then I looked at her with a cold expression and said,
“What are you arguing about what you know about me?”
“That, but…”
“Okay, I’ll just throw away 3000 gold. Is that ok?”
“……”
“And as I said before, if you keep climbing like that…”
“I’ll definitely find it.”
“…What?”
I thought it would be difficult to get rid of her worries today.
“I’m sure I’ll find out why he’s changed like that…”
I looked at her for a moment as she spoke in a very serious voice, and then read her information with my information search skill.
[Name: Arya Raon Starlight]
[Ability: Strength 4 / Magic 7.2 / Intellect 7 / Spirit 8.5]
[Speciality: Staring at you]
[Alignment: Guardian]
[Goodness stat: 95]
After seeing her linear function, I could not say anything and quietly turned my back and started heading to my room.
‘…It’s a big deal.’
My younger brother, who could not forget me as a child, became a new threat.
There are many events to overcome, and there are many enemies to deal with… To think that a person as menacing as such a family becomes a family, makes me really go crazy.
– Swallow
I arrived at my room with my mental state that was about to collapse like that, and I lay down on the bed helplessly and started staring blankly at the ceiling.
[False evil points 300pt acquired! (death flag)]
“…ha.”
After putting away the ugly system window that appeared in front of me, I tried to think for a while as usual, but then I gave up.
For some reason, the self-talk and self-rationalization that normally appeared naturally as defense mechanisms began to disappear at all.
I just want to stop thinking for a while and rest.
The system, the demon king, the sun god, whatever, I want to take a day off, please…
“Meow.”
“…oh.”
Suddenly, a familiar sound of a cat is heard in my ears.
Understanding the meaning of the sound, I barely grabbed my dying spirit, smiled and turned my head to the side.
– Lick
And at the same time, the black cat doll, which has now become an inseparable existence, started licking my cheeks.
“Meow…”
Then the doll, who fell behind Balang, began to look at me with a look of anticipation, revealing her belly.
“What, the past few days, you haven’t even moved… Are you moving well today?”
“Hey, meow… Ick, meow…”
Seeing the doll’s aegyo like that, I began to press down on my stomach, thanking the doll for helping me forget everything and take a break.
I guess I’ll have to play with the cat doll all night today.
.
.
.
.
.
“Young Master… it’s time for breakfast.”
“Oh yeah?”
As I emptied the thoughts in my brain and spent time concentrating only on the cat doll’s reaction, morning came.
I honestly regretted not sleeping when Kania called for breakfast, but when I saw the wrinkled cat doll that stopped working before I knew it, that thought entered my mind.
‘…Well, in the first place, work was finished at 4 in the morning. I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t.’
Rather than sleeping for 3 hours and spending the day in a dreamy state, playing with the cat doll, which raised my mentality by 0.3, would have been more helpful in recovering from fatigue.
With that in mind, I put the droopy cat doll in my bag and opened the door to have breakfast.
“…Rye bread topped with butter. Then, enjoy it.”
Then Kania, who was blushing for some reason, left food in front of me and ran to the door of my room.
“Hey there, Kania.”
“Yes, yes?”
After calling her like that, I started asking questions that I had been curious about for a long time.
“Are you in a lot of stomach pain these days?”
“Ah… well, it seems like that.”
Then she broke out in a cold sweat and answered, avoiding my gaze, and I asked with a slight frown at her reaction.
“Is that… Maybe it has something to do with that black cat doll?”
“Yes?”
“No, I actually like stroking a doll’s belly… Because it seems like you always have a stomach ache the day after stroking it.”
“That’s right.”
“By the way, is this doll being operated with your black magic? It has something to do with it…”
“no.”
“yes?”
Worried that my actions might be harming her, I cautiously inquired about the cat and her stomach ache, but Kania cut me off adamantly.
“That cat doll and I have nothing to do with it.”
“But your black magic…”
“…except for black magic, it has nothing to do with me. So feel free to… no, don’t worry.”
After speaking, Kania nodded to me and started heading back to the door.
“…Oh right!”
“…..?”
I looked at her mysteriously, and then I cleared my mind and remembered the fact I had completely forgotten about playing with the cat, and I got up urgently and said,
“Now isn’t the time to be having breakfast. I’ll have to go to Cadia soon.”
“Yes? Why is Cadia suddenly… Ah!”
Kania, who was confused for a moment, soon understood what I was saying, and with a bright expression on her face, she left the room with me and started heading towards Cadia’s room.
The time has finally come to neutralize Kania’s curse.
.
.
.
.
.
“…what is this tea?”
“Well, that’s… I’ll give it to the maids…”
“…you mean you’re just trying to eat this expensive black tea amongst yourself?”
“…what’s going on?”
I lured Arya out of the room by yelling at a maid outside the room, and I gave Kania a signal to enter the room.
“Sin, I’m sorry… Interim lord… It’s all my fault…”
“Stop it!! It was my father who made it possible for the users to freely use the tea!! What’s the matter!?”
Just like that, the maid cried and started wiping the tea I had spilled, and when Arya began to ejaculate what the hell was wrong with her, Kania sneaked out of the room.
[False evil points 100pt acquired! (Secret operation)]
Then I stopped getting angry, and I removed the false evil point window that appeared in front of me and walked out the hallway.
“Kania, did you see the maid who scolded me earlier?”
“…Yes, I saw it.”
“That kid, isn’t that the maid who protected the Starlight family until the end of the previous episode?”
“you’re right.”
“Then, raise that child’s position and salary. Of course… in your line.”
“All right.”
After apologizing to the maid who spilled the tea after a while, I carefully asked Kania a question.
“So, what’s the result?”
“… see for yourself.”
Then Kania looked around for a moment, and then a black aura appeared on her hand.
“…Ohh.”
And as I watched it, my expression brightened.
You might be thinking what you like so much with just a single black aura blooming, but this aura has a greater ability than you think.
If Kania grabs her hand with this aura lit, all the light in this mansion and the surrounding area will be sucked into the aura, resulting in total darkness.
The point is that this magic is not the basic black magic that Kania had been forced to use because of her curse, but rather intermediate black magic with some power.
In other words, her curse has been neutralized more than expected.
“…Does it look like you’ve recovered a lot more than you thought?”
“Yes, that ‘Elixir of Potential’ worked better than I thought. I was afraid that my brother would wake up, so even though I contacted him for a short time, the curse has improved to this extent.”
“Well, even Cadia didn’t fully awaken her abilities… Continuing contact won’t have any effect.
When I said that I was fine, Kania, who had been silent for a while, quickly hardened her expression and opened her mouth.
“Young Master, that’s why… I don’t think you need to give me life in the future.”
“Don’t be silly.”
After resolutely dismissing her words, I said with a stern expression on my face.
“Even if the curse has been neutralized to some extent, your vitality is still constantly being devoured by the curse of self-destruction.”
“But if you continue to give me life, Young Master…”
“I recover quickly. I also bought a recovery skill with ‘System’. But you can’t recover, right?”
“…Then give it once a month.”
“Once every three days.”
“That’s too many.”
“Is your life at stake?”
After arguing like that for a while, Kania and I passed the old-fashioned room, stopped all at once, and quietly looked at the nameplate next to us.
[Abraham Raon Starlight]
“But, before we go, shall we see your face?”
“……..”
As I looked at the nameplate and gave a bitter expression, Kania quietly stood next to the door and opened her mouth.
“I’ll be watching whether Arya comes or not. So, please come and say hello for a moment.”
“…Thank you, Kania.”
After expressing my gratitude to Kania in a quiet voice, I carefully opened the door and went inside.
“…father.”
As I entered, my father, who was in bed with his eyes closed, caught my eye.
I looked at my father like that, took a deep breath for a moment, and then quietly opened my mouth.
“I won’t talk long.”
I didn’t want to shoot a new drama anymore, so I suppressed my emotions as much as possible and left a short message.
“…After I capture the Demon King, I will definitely return to this place.”
After leaving the room after such a short greeting, Kania raised her eyes and asked a question.
“…Did you come back sooner than you thought?”
“Because I’m tired of Shinpa-geuk now.”
“Okay, but Arya-san is coming, so I was going to call you. What should I do?”
When I got out of the room, I closed my eyes tightly when I heard that Arya was coming to see me, and hurriedly opened my mouth.
“Let’s get out of here quickly.”
“…yes.”
So, on that road, I went straight to the exit of the mansion and boarded the carriage that Kania had already parked by the roadside.
“Young Master, Arya-san is coming.”
“…start the wagon.”
Then, with a rattling sound, the wagon departed, and I leaned back on my seat, ignoring my sister’s anguish calling my name, and asked a question to Kania, who was sitting next to me.
“Kania, can I ask you for some general magic instead of black magic?”
“…yes?”
“Looking at Arya’s continuous sound of crying, it seems that this carriage doesn’t have soundproofing magic on it… It’s going to be difficult, but would you like some soundproofing magic?”
“Young Master…”
Arya’s cry was so sad that I didn’t want to excuse myself and asked Kania, but for some reason, Kania’s face turned pale.
“Isn’t that a cry?”
“…..?”
I was bewildered by the incomprehension of her reaction, but Kania took my hand and said with a worried expression.
“Mr. Arya opened the door and came out, looked at us for a moment, and then went right in. And now I can’t hear anything except the rattle of the wagon.”
Hearing that, I hardened my expression for a moment, then cautiously asked Kania a question.
“Hey, Kania. Is there any black magic that erases or emptys memories for a certain period of time?”
“Why is that…”
“What is it… If I turn off the brain for a while, won’t it be fixed again?”
As I said that, I covered my ears with both hands and muttered.
“No, cast a spell that puts you to sleep. But, you can’t control your dreams? No, no… Just get rid of this crying.
“Young Master…?”
“Kania… Why am I doing this…?”
I was embarrassed and trembling at the terrible experience I had never experienced in the previous car, but I suddenly felt my head cleared up, and I looked blankly for a moment, then smiled.
“Oh, okay. The sound has stopped.”
“……”
“What kind of magic did you use? Did I just pass out and just woke up? Or is this a dream? Is that so? Are you treating me with a fantasy right now?”
“Young Master…”
“Thanks Kania. As expected, I can’t do it without you… haha… ahaha…”
While holding Kania’s hand and shaking hands like that, I soon realized that she had a sad expression on her face and tilted my head and asked.
“Kania? Why?”
“Hey… Since when have you endured such a state of mind?”
“Mental state? It’s okay. My mental strength is 9.3 no matter how I look at it? So I don’t suffer from any kind of insanity… Serious insanity will heal itself if it lasts more than a few minutes. It’s surprising? “
“…Young Master doesn’t look sane at all right now.”
When Kania spoke resolutely, I, who tried to pretend to be bright, quietly smiled and muttered in despair.
“I’m sorry… no matter how high your mental strength, it seems to be the limit…”
Then Kania lowered her head and began to mutter.
“Sorry… it’s all my clan… If I had been more competent…”
When I got out of the wagon for a while and Kania’s self-blame murmur resounded,
“I think… I think I should get some sort of psychiatric treatment under the top secret… Let’s find a suitable place…”
– Food duck! Food Duck!!
“Ugh!!!”
Suddenly, a familiar-looking white owl flew over the carriage window and began to flap its wings vigorously.
“…Choo!”

Eventually, the owl spit a letter on my lap, flew up and disappeared to the other side of the sky, and Kania and I, who were looking at it, muttered at the same time.
“Serena sent it.”
“…it’s Serena-san.”
After those words, I quietly opened the letter on my lap inside the carriage, where silence began to flow, and I frowned and muttered.
“…does he go crazy remembering the last episode?”
“yes?”
“Check it out for yourself.”
Then, with an absurd expression on my face, I handed the letter to Kania and muttered.
“I don’t know what it is… I have one more thing to worry about… haha… How do I deceive the kid I cheated on in the previous episode…”
“…what is this?”
“yes?”
But when Kania tilted her head and asked what was going on, I scratched my head and said.
“Uh… it was written with a very bad handwriting for her, but you can still recognize it…!”
However, looking at the letter again, I froze with my mouth wide open.
“Is this the password that Young Master and Serena used?
Because I realized that the following contents were written in ‘Hangul’ in the letter.
– I’ll see you soon.
Ps. I love you (maybe?)
[Selena Luna Moonlight]
As I continued to stare at the letter with such a hardened face, I sighed and muttered.
“…Geez.
Now, if the variable doesn’t come out, it’s to the point of getting frustrated.
