“Cool, cool!”
Frey, who was looking at Kania in front of him with a happy expression, suddenly covered his mouth and started coughing.
“Wait, are you okay?”
Before long, a large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth, and Kania saw it and approached him cautiously with a bewildered expression on her face.
“Why are you so surprised by the new thing, you’re always living with something sweet.”
Frey grinned at her exaggerated reaction, waved her hand to block her approach, and pulled something out of her pocket.
“that…”
“Hey, it seems that the duration of the self-cleaning magic has expired.”
After wiping the blood from his lips, Frey frowned when the stain on the handkerchief could not be removed, and then held out the handkerchief to Kania and said:
“Kania, could you give me some self-cleaning magic again?”
“Oh, that’s… I’m sorry, Young Master.”
Then, Kania, who flinched for a moment, crouched down and started talking.
“I’ve used up all my energy trying to keep the Young Master there and hide it from nobody. I’m really sorry.”
“Yeah, that’s right… I didn’t feel the black magic for some reason. But where is this place?”
Frey, who put the handkerchief in his pocket with an expression of embarrassment at those words, immediately looked around and asked a question with a mysterious expression.
“Ah… that’s the hideout I prepared for the Young Master.”
“After all, you are the best henchman.”
Hearing this, Frey smiled brightly and gave praise, and Kania carefully bowed her head in return and started talking.
“Young Master, sooner or later you must hide here.”
“…What are you talking about?”
“Look at this.”
Frey, who was reading the newspaper from Kania, laughed and muttered.
“Yeah, Pope… you’re trying to protect me somehow.”
“The Pope?”
“Yeah, the Pope is actually the devil’s mate. Isn’t that funny?”
Hearing those words, Kania’s expression hardened.
“Oh, haven’t I told you about this yet? Well… It’s a fact that only I know of those who have gone through the previous episode…”
“Last round… you mean?”
“Yeah, only the highest-ranking officials and the Demon King knew that the Pope was on the side of the Demon King in the previous session. Of course, I knew from the Prophecy.”

Eventually, when the story of ‘The Last Round’ and ‘The Prophecy’ came out, Kania looked at Frey with confused eyes for a moment, then quickly returned her expression to her original state.
“Are you okay, Kania? Are you sick?”
Then Frey asked Kania a question with a worried expression.
“Now you… Young Master is worried about me?”
After hearing that, Kania responded to Frey with a puzzled expression on her face, sighing and taking something out of her bag.
“What is it?”
“…a medicinal herb.”
Saying that, Kania, who unintentionally took the herb to her mouth, stopped moving and blushed.
“Chew it thoroughly. It’s good for your body.”
“Uh huh… Thank you?”
Then she turned away and handed the herb to Frey, who then accepted it without hesitation, a bit embarrassed by the sudden appearance of the herb.
“Looking at the fact that I bought herbs instead of potions, I guess it’s a pretty effective herb?”
“Uh… it will.”
“Umm… It’s a bit bitter, but it’s edible.”
Frey, who had been chewing on herbs for a while, staggered and started to get up.
“No, Young Master. Now is the time to take a break.”
Then Kania hurriedly ran and put him back on the bed, and Frey, who was lying on the bed, breathing heavily, suddenly looked around and began to mutter.
“It’s strange… I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere…”
“yes?”
“Is there any furniture here? If there is something absurd with furniture…”
“There was no furniture here from the beginning. It was completely empty.”
After a while, Frey frowned and began to ask questions, and Kania, who was staring at the exit with an anxious expression on her face, hurriedly cut off his words and asked the question backwards before Frey could even say anything.
“Aren’t you hungry by any chance? Young Master?”
“Yes?”
“You have to eat to recover your health. So, I’ll get you something to eat.”
Saying that, Kania made a serious expression, and Frey said with a smirk.
“I see you nagging me to eat, so Kania is right.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Well, even if you refuse anyway, I’m sure I’ll get it and feed it… I’ll eat it with thanks. Thank you.”
“Then, please wait here for a while. And, Young Master is in the worst condition right now, so please do not move at all.”
At that, Frey nodded hard and smiled, and Kania, who looked at him sullenly, headed for the exit of the secret base.
“…if I did, I almost got caught. When the hell did you remember that?”
After she came out, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead and muttering, the furniture with memories from the secret base was neatly stacked around her.

.

“Uh… Kania? What’s all this?”
“I will eat, Young Master.”
Frey muttered as she looked at the food that Kania had saved with a blank expression.
“Um… I mean, it’s pretty wild, isn’t it?”
This is because the food that Kania had obtained were hares, fish, berries, and sparrows.
“I can’t help it. There’s a very high chance that I’m also being watched, so now that I can’t use stealth, I have no choice but to eat these foods…”
She didn’t have any money, so she began to look at Frey’s complexion with all sorts of excuses.
It was because he was worried that Frey, who is reputed to have a picky taste and only eats high-quality dishes, might turn around.
“Haha… It’s okay! It reminds me of the old days and it’s good.”
But Frey, who continued to stare blankly at the food, said with a childlike smile.
“…a long time ago?”
“That’s right… When I was a kid, Irina and I went to the mountains near our house and built a secret base, didn’t I? At that time, Irina used to catch these things.”
Frey, who was talking while looking at the food that Kania had caught with dim eyes, quickly smiled.
“When Irina first got these kinds of food, she asked how she eats these and was confused.”
“Yeah… it was.”
“Yeah, thanks to you, I got pissed off and didn’t talk for a while, and then I secretly took a bite of what Irina was grilling… It’s really delicious, isn’t it?”
“Are you secretly?”
“Yeah, of course, I got a honey night because I got caught not too long ago. Since then, Irina has eaten everything that Irina has caught.”
Frey, who had been talking about memories with a pleasant expression on his face for a while, finished his speech with a bitter smile.
“Anyway, let’s take this opportunity to try some memorable food.”
“I will do my best to prepare.”
Hearing this, Kania began to reach out to the food she had prepared with a serious expression on her face.
“But how the hell did you get it?”
“…yes?”
However, Frey, who was looking at her shyly, asked a question with a look full of curiosity.
“No, I remember you were pretty weak at this point… It’s amazing to catch a hare and a sparrow.”
“I’ve been living on the street for quite some time… I know a lot of these skills.”
“Ah… well, that’s right.”
Kania, who was sweating in a cold sweat at those words, passed over Frey’s words, gathered pieces of wood, and started preparing to start a fire.
“Oh… Irina used to do it often.”
Frey then began to look at Kania with anticipation, while Kania, who heard Irina’s name again, began rubbing a piece of wood with a calm expression.
– Whoops!
“How the hell do you do that?
“You can use the heat of friction.”
“I know that… I don’t know if I’ve ever had any success when I was young. Irina did it like a meal.”
Of course, the fire was ignited not by frictional heat, but by a tiny spark from the tip of his finger, and it was impossible for him to succeed by imitating Frey’s bragging embers that he had shown him to show off, but she tried to ignore those facts. Started to light a fire.
“Now we just have to wait.”
“It’s good… It’s like when I was a kid, I felt like I went to the mountain next to my house with Irina.”
Frey, who had described the current situation fairly accurately, started coughing again after watching the fish, hares and sparrows simmering in the fire for a while.
“Cool! Cool! Uh…”
“Are you really okay? Young Master?”
“Um… well, can I tell you?”
Hearing this, Frey started talking with a smile.
“Actually, it’s not okay at all.”
“yes?”
“If it goes on like this… are you going to last two years?”
Hearing that, Kania began to open her mouth.
“It’s surprising… you knew that too, didn’t you?”
“Uh, that’s…”
“Yeah, come to think of it, I didn’t have the life meter I had in my bag… Do you have it? Take it out.”
After Frey said that, Kania, who had a stupid expression on her face for a moment, made a hopeful expression and pulled something out of her arms with trembling hands.
“Oh, there it is. Life gauge.”
“The date written here…”
“How many days is it written?”
When Frey asked with a grin, Kania answered in a low voice.
“…The date is written two years and six months from now.”
“After all, looking at that, life expectancy seems to be cut in half.”

Even when he heard that he was going to die, Frey muttered in a calm voice.
“Your lifespan is cut in half?”
“Um… I’ve been giving you life since I was little, so when I entered the academy, I had 10 years of life left?”
“Kania… no, give me the vitality…”
Kania, who was about to ask something with her eyes wide open when she heard that she shares her vitality since she was young, looked at Frey for a moment and then shut her mouth firmly.
“The first time I heard false evil from you, the remaining lifespan shown on the life tester was 5 years. I’ve been expecting it since then. Every time I get a penalty, my lifespan is cut in half.”
“…yes?”
“And out of the normal stack and the special stack I received this time, the special stack doesn’t affect the lifespan… One normal stack is applied and the lifespan is cut in half.”
Hearing those words, Kania’s face began to turn blue.
“By the way, who was caught this time? First of all, I don’t know about the special stack, so put aside… Who do you think is the most likely to have noticed?”
“Uh, that’s…”
“Actually, you said you didn’t know either. Haha… This is a real problem. There are a few people who are suspicious, but I asked if they noticed that, and if it’s not that person, you’re out of luck, right?”
After saying that, Frey began to croak again, and Kania, who looked at him blankly, asked a question again.
“No, what if… you find someone who noticed?”
“Well… I feel like I’d like to explain everything to get you on my side, and then you won’t be the only one who will fall into guilt.”
After saying that, Frey sighed for a moment, and then started talking in a suffocating voice.
“Even though I did the evil thing in the previous episode to get a ‘system’ to kill the demon lord… it’s actually something that can’t be rationalized.”
“ah…”
“From the standpoint of someone who doesn’t know anything, I’m just a sinner who has committed an evil deed, and the five ‘main heroines’ who have their memories back deserve to hate me. However, the problem is that everyone has a very good heart. second…”
Frey, who had been confiding in her worries, suddenly saw Kania’s expression and stopped talking and smiled bitterly.
“Look, it’s been a while since I’ve known everything, and you’re making that kind of expression right now… What about the other kids?”
“Uh, uh…”
“Should we stop talking about this now? It looks like the meat is already grilled.”
With that said, Frey tried to turn the story around, but Kania, who quickly put a fish skewer in his hand, said in a low voice.
“…No, please continue.”
“Yeah, actually, you’re the only one I can confide with… I’m sorry, but please hang out with me a little more.”
Upon hearing this, Kania nodded, and Frey narrowed her eyes and continued the story.
“To continue the story, no matter how much I did for a cause… the mental and physical pain suffered by heroines, including you, will never go away.”
“yes…”
“But, in fact, if you explain that all of that was something you had to do to get the transcendent power to save the world, and if you ask for cooperation because you have to continue committing false evil to defeat the Demon King, the damage you’ve suffered so far and What about those women who still remember the pain?”
“that…”
“When I first regressed, I honestly thought that when everything was over, I could reveal that I was a False Evil person. But I thought that everyone would suffer too much…”
Frey, who had said that, continued the story by pointing to Kania, who had failed to control her expression again.
“You already know the truth and you are suffering so much.”
“……””
“There is absolutely no justification for harming you to save the world. So, you can stop suffering.”
“But… you, no… the lifespan of a Young Master…”
“Ah, my life is still fine. The Academy invasion is in two years and six months anyway…”
“That’s not it…”
Kania, who continued to stutter with a soulless expression on her face, finally came to her senses and asked a question.
“What are the exact conditions for that… ‘get caught’?”
“Um… the moment someone is ‘confirmed’ that I did ‘false evil’, the penalty is applied.”
“Then, two months ago…”
“Yeah, like you said, around that time someone was ‘confirmed’ of my false evil.
Having said that, Frey coughed again, sighed and began to continue what he had said earlier.
“Anyway, for all those reasons… I don’t know what to say if I could find out who noticed.”
“…okay.”
“Ha… By the way, that’s a big deal. The ordeal will come again in a little while.”
“Trial?”
“Yeah, it’s a terrible curse that you don’t know who gave it to you. Fortunately, you don’t receive it all at once, but you can receive it slowly, step by step… Cool! Cool! Okay. Let’s continue this story later.”
As Kania continued to fail to control her expression, Frey quickly ended the story and started talking about the fish skewer she was holding.
“By the way, this is really delicious… I’m a little sorry for Irina, but it’s several times better than the yakitori she used to bake in the past.”
“…it’s because of the accumulated experience.”
“Well, is it? You’re good at cooking in the first place…”
‘I’ve been here alone for several years… I’ve been grilling myself, so I can’t help but improve my skills.’
After trying hard to say what she wanted to say to him with a bright smile and talking to him, she quietly handed the berries that were on the floor to Frey.
“Do you know what this is?”
“Yeah, is that ‘Bingryong’?”
“Bingryong…”
“Yeah, Irina did… A long time ago, there is a legend that the fish that ate this fruit was so cool and delicious that she became Bingryong and ascended to heaven. That’s why it’s called ‘Bingryong’. Isn’t it funny?”
After a while, she looked at Frey, who still believed in the words she had made up when she was young, and spoke with a pure face, then closed her eyes tightly and said.
“…I’ll go to the bathroom for a while.”
“Oh, yes. Let’s go.”
As Frey nodded, Kania with a firm expression headed towards the base’s exit.
“Ugh…”
After coming out of the secret base, Irina, who had been pretending to be Kania until then, leaned against the tree next to her and began to moan.
“Oh, it hurts…”
It was because her stomach and chest started to hurt as if they were being squeezed tight.
“…this is a side effect of the transformation potion. It must be.”
Having attributed the sudden anomaly to the potion, she began to organize all the facts she had heard from Frey.
“…f*ck it.”
And, roughly summarizing all the words he said in her head, his actions in the previous episode, and his actions in this episode, Irina briefly spit out cursing.
“So, so what do you do when you see me…”
Then she started muttering with confused eyes.
“Yeah… you’re right… I don’t have to feel guilty… They said it was painful too… Now they say it’s all for the world… Can’t you just accept that… .”
She was a magician of flames that burned everything, but her heart, which had become cold thanks to the continuous battle with the Demon King and the deaths of her colleagues, was judging the situation calmly.
Frey, who is now dying at the base, has only chosen that path himself.
Due to his ‘special ability’, he was forced to commit evil deeds, but that was also a serious mistake, so we can’t rationalize it.
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Even if the world perishes if he doesn’t do that, even if the Demon King burns everything down, what he did…
‘…can’t you really justify it?’
Irina was about to think of something else for a moment, but she shook her head violently and began to shake it off.
“Ha… ha ha…”
It was Irina who barely managed to shake off her sleep, but nevertheless, her heart was still troubled.
“I noticed… the lifespan was cut off? Half?”
As Frey said, you don’t have to feel guilty at all, but for some reason, I keep getting mad.
“Then, the oath of death… to give me mana?”
When he collapsed while overworked at the performance evaluation site, Frey’s bewildered expression suddenly began to vividly come to mind.
“I wonder if it’s at the welcome party for new students…?”
Irina, who had gone crazy with her thoughts, suddenly opened her eyes and began to mumble in a serious voice.
“Wait, then… How did you avoid the ’12 o’clock curse’?”
At first, I thought that the Demon King had intervened and protected Frey.
However, according to the facts revealed today, he is rather in a position to oppose the Demon King.
Then… How did he avoid the dreadful curse of the ’12 o’clock curse’?
‘I hope… I hope…!’
Irina, who was pensive for a moment, realized one terrifying possibility.
The only way to avoid the most vicious curse, the ’12 O’clock Curse,’ and the possibility that Frey performed the most terrible Haeju method out of all the Haeju methods that exist in the world.
“No… I can’t… I can’t…”
Of course, there were only a few people from all over the continent, including Irina, who knew how to do it, so she started to deny it, but remembering that Frey already knew the trick of the ‘Sacrifice Magic Circle’ that only her knew, he did what he did until now. I started thinking about the words again.
“Before… I clearly said it was an ordeal…”
Before long, as she recalled the meaningful remarks Frey had made earlier, her face began to turn pale.
“Not all at once… Slowly, step by step…”
Irina, who had been repeating her words helplessly, hurriedly ran into the secret base where Frey was.
“Do, Young Master! Perhaps that ordeal was…!”
As soon as she saw Frey like that, Irina hurriedly tried to ask him about the ‘trial’, but…
“Uh, Mom…!”
“…..!”
Frey, who couldn’t even get up from her seat because of the pain, got up from her seat, trembling, and started laughing brightly and talking nonsense, and she froze on the spot.
“Even though it’s a fantasy caused by trials… it’s nice to see you again like this… haha…”
“Oh, no…”
After a while, Frey smiled brightly, took her hand and shook hands, and Irina, who looked at him with a pale face, began to whisper in a voice that lost her soul.
“Really… did you use that Haeju method?”
“I’m doing well, of course I’m getting along well with my younger brother. My father is a little ill, but I must…”
However, Frey in front of him just smiled brightly and continued to shake hands.
