“Cool, cool, big!”
“…Fray-sama, are you okay?”
After coughing for a while in the bathroom, I answered in a nervous voice when Irina knocked on the door and asked a question.
“…don’t worry about it, just clean it straight away.”
“It’s time to clean the bathroom.”
But since Irina answered without losing, I frowned and said it again.
“…do it a little later.”
In front of me like that, I could see a sink covered in blood.
“Everything else has been cleaned. Now just cleaning the bathroom…”
“…Shut up and wait!!”
As she opened the door and tried to come in, I screamed urgently and started wiping the blood stains off the sink.
“…what?”
However, no matter how many times I wiped the sink and wiped it again, the blood stain started to spread rather than disappear.
“What, what? Why?”

Embarrassed by this, I hurriedly started wiping the sink, using up to the mana of the stars, but the blood did not go away, but only spread more and more.
In the end, I turned on the faucet attached to the sink to wash the blood away, but…
“…..!”
The water that came out of the faucet was blood, not water.
As I was staring at the faucet with my mouth wide open in such an incomprehensible situation, the washbasin overflowed with blood, and the bathroom floor began to turn red.
“…what is it, hallucinations?”
Perhaps now I am hallucinating.
After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a hallucination. I thought I had already graduated from the last episode… Did it start again after I heard my sister’s hallucination last time?
“…it’s not even a fuss.”
Blood pooled on the floor climbed up the bathroom wall and started dripping down on me.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, I grabbed the doorknob to get out of the bathroom, but for some reason the doorknob doesn’t seem to turn.
After holding the doorknob for a while and whining, I tried to break the door, put up with it, and went back to the washbasin and sighed.
Then, this time, reflected in the mirror, I started to smile with a creepy smile.
[Name: Frey Laon Starlight]
[Ability: Power ???/ Magic Power ??? / Intellect ??? / Spirit 9.3]
[Special Features: Protection of the Stars/Criticality/Vitality Low/Infirmity/Insanity]
[Alignment: Hero]
[Goodness: 100]
I, who hid my image by opening an information window, started muttering quietly while looking at my mental strength.
“…at this point, it’s time to clear your mind again.”
And the moment I got those words out of my mouth, my head cleared and the bathroom I used to see began to appear in front of my eyes.
[The first trial of the system has begun!]
And the red notification window.
‘…somehow, something was strange.’
It was only then that I was able to figure out that this hallucination was what the system was showing.
If the level of mental power I have now is about the same, it won’t be affected by any mental attacks or illusions, and I won’t get caught in the first place.
So… The only thing that can show me such a long-lasting illusion is the system, or the ‘trial of the system’.
The ‘system trial’ is a hard ordeal that the system imposes on the system user, and the user goes through various stages to test the system user’s ability.
And the first step is the hallucination you just saw.
‘…It will be difficult for the next week or so.’
The system’s ‘first trial’ lasts for a week. So, starting today, I will continue to hallucinate.
But, it’s no problem for me.
Because of the high level of mental strength that was strengthened during the last episode, even if you suffer from hallucinations or hallucinations like just before, if you endure a little, your mind will be clear and your mind will return to its original state.
This is a fact I found out the last time I had hallucinations of hearing my sister’s cry from the carriage.
Of course, I panicked a little because I was so mentally packed at the time. However, my mental state is very stable now that I unintentionally woke up after 3 months of rest.
And to be honest… I’ve had countless experiences worse than these crude fantasies, so I’m not impressed.
Therefore, it seems that the ‘first ordeal’ can be overcome without major twists and turns.
“Fray… sir…?”
“…Well?”
After thinking like that, I was about to leave the bathroom when I heard Irina’s voice next to me.
I looked to the side, wondering what was going on, and Irina, who opened the bathroom door, was staring blankly at me.
“Uh… what is that now?”
“…ah.”
After a while, she pointed to the sink with her slightly trembling hand, and when she looked down involuntarily, there was blood mixed with water and overflowing.
“How did you get in?”
“F, Frey-nim opened it, didn’t you?”
“I?”
I urgently turned off the faucet and asked coldly, and Irina said that I opened the door.
It must have been that the door opened when I applied force to the doorknob earlier.
“Hey… are you okay?”
“Yeah…”
I frowned at her words, but I forgot what to say for a moment when I looked at my face in the mirror.
Blood was dripping from his lips, and his hands and clothes were stained with blood.
“…I guess I’m not well yet.”
In the end, I roughly washed my mouth and hands in the sink, took off the clothes I was wearing, handed it to her, and walked out of the bathroom and said:
“Wipe clean. Wash your clothes clean.”
“Hey… this is…”
“answer.”
“…yes.”
Closing the bathroom door after I finished speaking, I sighed and lay down on the bed and muttered.
“…do I have to spend money on the final exam?”
I was thinking about how much I should give to the dean this time to avoid failing, but I slowly closed my eyes as the drowsiness began to creep in.
For today, I want to dream of a pure cat, not a nightmare or a story of the past.

“What is it…?”
As Frey was lying on the bed and falling asleep more and more, Irina was staring blankly at the sink and frowned.
“…obviously, Frey didn’t have a chronic illness.”
No matter how much he looked back on his memories, he had never seen any memory or information that Frey had a chronic disease that vomited blood.
In the first place, even if there was such a thing, it was clear that the Starlight family would have cured the disease with the enormous wealth and power.
But why did Frey Laon Starlight vomit so much blood?
‘… Come to think of it, it was a little strange back then.’
Irina, well aware of the flow of mana, was able to roughly guess the condition of Frey’s body when he first fell.
Mana was forcibly pressed into his body, and at that time the mana circuits scattered throughout his body were burned and cut off, and he suffered quite a bit of damage.
However, human mana circuits have evolved to adapt to mana for thousands of years and survive, so if they received appropriate treatment, they would have recovered within a week.
By the way, he woke up three months and a day later… that is, only today.
I don’t know why it happened, but if it’s a scene that could be a clue, I definitely remember it.
When he collapsed, bleeding from his eyes, nose, and ears.
Of course, as he just said as he walked out of the bathroom, it could be thought of as the aftermath of the commoners dormitory incident, but the burning of the mana circuit and hematemesis have nothing to do with it.
Since Irina has had her mana circuit cut off or burned countless times because she has been practicing from the previous round, she is very aware of that fact.
‘Come to think of it, I heard that two months ago, you had serious hematemesis in the hospital room…’
It is quite suspicious that people with symptoms that have nothing to do with hematemesis continue to vomit.
If so, what could be the cause? hidden disease? Attempting to poison someone? Or… the ‘variable’ that Clana always insists on?
Anyway, the important thing is that his physical condition is very serious even for him who is not versed in medical science.
And at the center of it is a mysterious hematemesis.
‘Liana was also protecting me and sometimes vomited blood. When you see that…’
Irina, who was wiping away the blood that Frey had spitted in the bathroom over and over again, began to recall an incident that happened in the past.
‘As expected, Liana…’
Liana, the mysterious woman who helped her, has a lot in common with Frey.
A sparkling mana that I have clearly experienced somewhere, a point that looks weak, or vomiting blood…
According to some conclusions he made two months ago, it’s quite possible that Frey and her are the same person.
If so, what is the reason?
I’d like to grab Frey’s neck and ask the reason for that, but Irina’s cold reason is drying it out.
This is because Frey’s cruel and terrible side that Irina witnessed in the previous episode, in some ways even worse than the Demon King, remained a trauma that could not be easily forgotten.
Also, he doesn’t know what his ‘real purpose’ is, so it wouldn’t be a good choice to pretend to know.
“…Whoa.”
Irina, with her thoughts in mind, wiped the sweat from her forehead and left the bathroom.
“Umm…”
Then, in her eyes, Frey, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, came into view.
Irina, who was staring intently at him, quietly approached the front door of the dormitory, locked the door, and began to turn to Frey.
“Fray.”
After a while, Irina, sitting slightly on the side of the bed, began to whisper quietly in Frey’s ear.
“Fray.”
Despite her tickling voice, Frey was still silent.
“…what the hell are you thinking?”
Irina, who quietly listened to Frey’s low breath, who had been hovering in the room, asked another question, and began to stare intently at Frey’s face.
His face was as pure as when he first met him.
Of course, that pure and pure white face lost its shine as the same pure and pure white heart was stained with ugliness and filth…
If he still had light… No, if he had never lost it in the first place…
“…oh.”
After thinking for a while, Irina suddenly realized that she was stroking Frey’s hair.
Irina, who hurriedly lifted her hand to avoid waking up after noticing Frey in any case, thought for a moment as Frey was still in a deep sleep.
‘…before, it must have felt familiar.’

Earlier, when Frey hugged him, he quietly hugged him and groped his body, and as a result, he seemed to have sensed the feeling and wounds of being hugged by Liana at first glance.
Although he wasn’t sure as Frey was immediately separated from him. But now that he’s sleeping soundly…
“…gulp.”
No matter how hard the background investigation is, Irina, who is now a commoner, has obvious limitations.
Up until now, I had somehow bridged the gap by running on my own feet, but now it has become quite difficult to obtain information without taking such risks.
No matter how bad their reputation, the Starlight family has only three dukes in the Empire, and they have the greatest power among the dukes.
Therefore, it is very difficult and difficult to investigate Frey, the first son and provisional head of the duke family.
Therefore, even if it is slightly dangerous, being able to directly irradiate such a frey is of sufficient merit.
Of course, it would be a different story if she could use magic, but she has no choice because she is currently out of mana.
‘Just a little bit, just a little bit…’
Irina, having made up her mind like that, carefully began to place her hand on Frey’s body.
“Umm…”
Then, after groaning for a moment, Frey began to toss and turn slightly.
Irina, who had been watching Frey frozen for a while, finally, after confirming that he had fallen into a deep sleep again and again several times, sighed quietly and began to move her hands.
– Suck
Irina’s hand gently stroked Frey’s body.
“…Well.”
And Irina, who tilted her head for a moment, glanced at Frey and began to twist her body with her hands again.
– Whoa
Irina, who looked at Frey for a while and rubbed every corner of his body with her hands, carefully lifted her hands away from his body and muttered to herself.
‘Your clothes are too thick…’
The clothes he changed into after handed him to him were quite thick.
As she fell asleep, Irina grumbled for a moment as to why she was wearing such thick clothes, then took a deep breath and began to carefully remove his clothes.
“…
Then, his white flesh began to show.
Irina, who hesitated for a moment after seeing this, looked at Frey once more and began to carefully lift up his clothes.
– Sreuk
Then, what immediately caught her eye was his upper body with traces of burning mana circuits.
“…..?”
Irina stared at it for a while and then tried to put her clothes back on.
‘The traces of the mana circuit… Why are they so irregular?’
Just as the structure of the organs inside a person is the same, the structure of the mana circuit is also the same for all people.
Therefore, the mana management method and the breathing method were regulated and spread widely in the world.
However, the traces of mana circuits left on his body are a bit unusual.
The strange sight, which would be most appropriate to express it as a state in which places were covered with special effects, began to stimulate curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, which contributed the most to raising Irina to the status of an archmage.
‘…I don’t know about Munji, but it seems that part of the body was intentionally covered.’
Irina, who was guessing while looking at his bare skin, came to the conclusion that this strange situation was caused by covering and hiding parts of her body with some special medium.
‘Then, what are you hiding…?’
Having reached that point, Irina began to caress Frey’s bare skin with trembling hands to find out what Frey was hiding.
– Suck
As her hand touched Frey’s bare skin, she began to feel a rough texture on her smooth skin.
“…what are you doing now?”
From behind, Kania asked a question in a cold voice.
“Hbh!!”
Thanks to that, Irina, who almost screamed at Hamata, hurriedly covered her mouth to stop the sound and looked at Frey.
“Ugh…”
Although he was quite tossing and turning, he was still in a deep sleep.
“Mr. Irina?”
“Uh, so…”
Seeing him like that, Irina sighed in relief, but when Kania frowned and asked, he hesitated before answering.
“Um… I wonder if there might be a mark of the Demon King’s army on my body… just to investigate…”
“I’ve already checked every nook and cranny. So, there’s no need to check any more.”
“Oh, that’s right. Then…”
Irina, who had been so shy, got up from the bed quickly and ran out of the room.
“…Young Master, Irina has gone.”
Kania, who looked at him quietly, began to speak to Frey in a low voice.
“I know you’re awake. So please wake up and share what Irina-san has done.”
Frey was afraid that the ‘main heroines’ would try to kill her while she was sleeping, so she quietly took out a notebook and started preparing to transcribe his words.
“…Young Master?”
However, as time passed, Frey remained silent.
“Ugh…”
“Young Master, are you okay?”
After a while, Frey let out a slight moan, and Kania approached him with a worried expression on her face, and then asked him with a wake-up spell.
“Are you having nightmares? It seems that the frequency of nightmares is increasing these days.”
“……”
But Frey was still silent.
“…it’s an ordeal.”
Kania, who looked at him with a serious expression, noticed that this situation was caused by the ‘trial’ he had warned of last time, and quietly approached him.
“Why is the world so anxious that it can’t eat Young Master…”
After that, Kania began to caress his sleepy face with a firm expression on her face, and quietly put her hand through Frey’s loose clothes.
– Shaa…
Then, the countless wounds that had been covered by her black magic were revealed, and Kania, who took the medicine from her arms while looking at those wounds, continued to speak quietly.
“…He’s such a good person.”
After she had finished speaking, she began to apply medicine to Frey’s wounds carefully.
By the time Frey woke up again, Kania was almost emptying her medicine cabinet.

“Uh, I’m scared…”
Meanwhile at that time.
“But… I have to do something…”
Perloche had been infiltrating the basement of the Sun God Church, where he had felt a strange aura for three months before, without anyone knowing.
“…Saint, what are you doing there?”
“Huh!”
Of course, because she was ‘unknowingly’ only by her own standards, she was discovered by the Pope just before entering the basement.
“Ah, that’s…”
“Did I not tell you. This is a place to store and investigate the items confiscated by the Church.”
“I’m fine…”
Then, when the Pope spoke with a solemn expression, Perloche responded timidly.
“…The saint is okay, but the investigation items are not. Because the saint’s holy power is so strong, it will take damage.”
“Umm…”
Nevertheless, when the saint glared at the Pope with a suspicious look, he sighed and quietly opened the door to the cellar.
“…This?”
“These are all confiscated items.”
Then, what caught Perloche’s eyes were various ornaments.
“If you’re curious, I’ll show you…”
“Yes, then…”
When the pope spoke calmly, the saint tried to go inside, radiating holy energy from her body, but
“However, if the investigation items break down by force… you will have to take responsibility.”
“👌”
“…a very heavy responsibility.”
As the Pope spoke in a slightly angry tone, Ferroche bowed his head and began tumbling back to the church building.
“Ttt, I mean, these days, my suspicions have increased.”
The Pope, who looked at her coldly, looked around quietly and then muttered as he entered the basement.
“These days, there are fewer children in the market for some reason, what should I do?”
Then a creepy voice could be heard from the basement, where there was no one except the trinkets.
“…Investigate whereabouts.”
“all right.”
Hearing that voice, the pope crouched and answered, then cautiously asked a question.
“Hey… But wouldn’t it be better to change the location?”
“…What?”
“Since this is the place where the church of the Church of the Sun God is located, there may be problems when performing ceremonies, and the saint keeps coming here for some reason…”
– Kugugugugugugung!!
“Hey, hey!!”
The Pope, who was talking in a cold sweat, immediately fell to his knees when the basement vibrated once and began to pray with his hands together.
“Sin, sorry…! Please have mercy…!”
“…Proceed as planned.”
“Oh, I see! I’ll do my best!”
In front of the pope, who had a humble expression on his face as he said that, instead of the trinkets that had been there before, twisted children were trembling, tied with ropes.
