“Young Master… How did this happen…?”
“F, Frey…?”
As soon as I put an end to the tense situation, Kania and Irina, who were lying on the floor, started looking at me blankly.
“Are you guys okay?”
When I approached them urgently and asked a question, Kania answered with an absurd expression on her face.
“…Seeing you say that, you’re the real Young Master.”
“Hey, the wound is quite serious.”
I passed Kania’s words like that, and approached right in front of me, found a wound on her stomach and muttered, not knowing what to do.
“Do you have any healing potions? If you don’t treat them right away, the wounds will get worse… First of all, hemostasis…”
I was looking around looking for something to stop Kania’s wounds, but when I saw the scars on Irina’s body and the blackened mana circuits, I put my head on my forehead and said,
“driving me crazy.”
Irina, who looked at me blankly, immediately lowered her head and muttered.
“Sorry… Frey… I…”
“Okay, it’s okay.”
I didn’t want to consume any more emotions, so I cut off her words urgently, looked around and started talking.
“First of all, let’s get out of here and say. To me, it’s kind of a … quite uncomfortable place.”
After saying that, Kania and Irina’s expressions hardened.
“Don’t do that, just here…”
As I was about to head towards the entrance while forcing them to stand up, I suddenly found Arya lying next to her unconscious and sighed and muttered.
“…that’s right, there was Arya.”
To be honest, I don’t know how to deal with Arya, who is quick-witted and still worries about me. Even if you intentionally treat him badly, he will be suspicious of it, and if he treats you kindly, that’s a problem.
“Kania, cast a sleep spell on Arya. She won’t wake up for a while.”
“All right.”
After saying that, Kania approached Arya and gently stroked her hair, and Arya’s breathing began to become more comfortable.
“Then, let’s get out of here. I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Having lifted Arya like that, I, along with Kania and Irina, began to exit the cave.
“…Young Master.”
“why?”
Almost as I was getting to the exit, Kania, who had been following me quietly, asked me a question in a low voice.
“Is that… really magic?”
“Yeah, it’s magic.”
Saying so, I spread my hand with twinkling flashes of light everywhere, and added with a smile.
“That’s the magic my mother used.”
“…beautiful.”
Kania, who watched the flashes of light stop in mid-air as they crystallize with a surprised expression, quickly hardened her expression and started talking to me again.
“Young Master, the room I was in was…”
“Let’s talk about that a little later.”
Kania’s expression was about to get too serious, so I cut her off and spoke firmly.
“However…”
“Sometimes you have to delay, Kania.”
“…I see, Young Master.”
In the end, Kania quietly nodded at my determination, then closed her mouth and quietly headed towards the entrance of the cave in front of her.
“So, what now?”
As I came out of the cave without any trouble and looked around the outside where the rain had stopped, I asked the two who were looking at me with a blank expression on their faces.
“This, once… So…”
Then, Irina, who had been unable to make eye contact with me, hesitated and began to stutter.
“I think we have to deal with Arya-san’s problem first.”
Then Kania, who had been keeping her mouth shut until then, intervened and started talking.
“Even though I cast a sleep spell, I couldn’t cast it strongly because I used up almost all of my strength in an unexpected battle. So, you might wake up soon.”
“then…”
“Considering the girl’s condition and other factors… It would be the best choice to move to the nearby Starlight Duke’s Residence. It will be done.”
Hearing this, I quietly nodded my head in agreement, and Kania went up to Arya, who was on my back, and continued the conversation.
“So, I’ll take Arya-san to the duke’s mansion myself.”
“Are you all right? Cadia will be worried if you go to that mogol…”
“Because neither the Young Master nor Irina can go.”
Having said that, Kania, who received Arya, looked at me and Irina alternately, then sighed and said,
“And… Young Master will have to stay here until tomorrow.”
“What are you talking about?”
When I asked the question with a bewildered expression on her face, Kania frowned and started talking.
“As I said before, my black magic has run out due to an unexpected battle, so it’s quite difficult to use stealth magic.”
“So you’re saying no today?”
“Yes, the black magic will come back tomorrow… I have to go see Serena, who will be at the academy after explaining the situation to Ms. Arya at the Duke’s Residence. So, if you’re staying here for a while, come back tomorrow morning and take the Young Master with you. I will go.”
As I nodded to those words, Irina, who had been hesitating for a long time, opened her mouth quietly.
“I, I will remain…”
“yes?”
Hearing that, Kania frowned and said.
“Irina-san, there is no need to remain.”
“Uh… Frey alone is dangerous. There are wild beasts, and they are all…”
“Didn’t you see Young Master clear things up in an instant with stellar mana?”
“Still, I’m in a very exhausted state, so it could be a bad thing. So, I’ll be with you until tomorrow.”
As Irina continued to adhere to her opinion, Kania, who looked at her distastefully, shook her head and said,
“I can’t help it, I see that you have a strong opinion. Then, please take care of Young Master until tomorrow.”
“Uh huh… I’ll do my best…”
Saying that, Kania glared at her fiercely, and Irina, who was momentarily flinched, responded with a slight stutter.
“Young Master, I’ll just leave.”
Kania, who looked at Irina with a distasteful expression, held Arya on her back and greeted me.
“Yes, then, please take care of Arya…”
“…Umm.”
She smiled at Kania and was about to see off, but Arya, who was on her back, started tossing and turning.
“Brother… Thank you…”
“Suck!”
Then she quietly smiled and muttered, which made me gasp and gasp, but fortunately the penalty window didn’t come up.
“It must have been a sleep talk.”
While Kania, who had a cold expression on her face at the same time, muttered in a reassuring voice, I started to sweat in a cold sweat.
‘I’ll have to somehow get rid of my worries from Arya soon…’
I have been erasing people one by one who will be cursed by the system’s ordeal to come sooner or later.
Isolet still hates me, Serena is purging her ‘worry’ with her continued love affair with Kania, and Irina has been implanted with black magic in every nook and cranny today, so it won’t be a problem.
However, as far as Arya, I can’t seem to find a way.
If you’re harsh with her, you’ll be suspicious of it, and if you’re nice to her, you’ll clear your doubts right away.
The good news is that she’s getting ‘tired’.
When I collapsed with a headache for a while, although my consciousness was blurred, Arya was clearly saying that she was getting tired of trusting me.
So if one more, one more big event happens…
“Then, please take care of yourself.”
“Oh, yes. I see.”
After thinking for a while, I decided to postpone my thoughts while answering Kania’s greetings.
Anyway, it’s something that can’t be fixed right now.
“Uh, then… let’s go back to the secret base.”
As Kania, who was carrying Arya, disappeared as she went down the mountain, Irina lowered her gaze and hinted.
Feeling a little awkward with her, I nodded, and I slowly started going back to the secret base with her.
“Damn, the secret base is full of water.”
After walking without a word for a long time, we arrived right in front of the secret base, but the secret base was in a riot of water as water poured in through the wide open door.
“If that’s the case… should I be homeless?”
As I muttered with a troubled expression on my face as I watched the scene, Irina, who was watching me shyly, grabbed my arm and started heading somewhere.
“Uh, where are you going?”
“…just follow me.”
Her hand that grabbed my arm was trembling for some reason, so I surrendered myself to her without a word and started following her.
‘Wait, but why did Irina do that earlier?’
In the meantime, I got caught up in a little question for a while.
Why does Irina stay behind saying that I am in danger, even though there is a secret base that anyone but me and her can never break into? Of course, the secret base is full of water, but she wouldn’t have known about it.
“Ah, here…”
I was immersed in thought for a long time, and when Irina stopped walking, I stopped thinking for a moment and looked around, then asked in a low voice.
“Isn’t that Ganga where we always played together?”
“okay.”
Irina, who answered briefly that I was still awkward, gathered the branches that were lying on the floor and started to light a fire, and I sat quietly and began to watch her make a fire.
“Ugh…”
However, Irina, who always lighted the fire in less than a few seconds, started to struggle today.
As I looked at him with a worried expression, Irina, who was constantly rubbing the tree, slowly began to look at me.
“Uh… can I help you a little?”
“f*ck, it’s fine… you’re sitting.”
It looked pretty pitiful, so I got up and tried to help her, but Irina stopped me and started rubbing the tree harder.
“Hey, Irina!”
“Hey, is there no problem with this?”
“No, that’s not it… look at your hand.”
At her words, I sat down for a while and waited for the fire to come on, but I unintentionally looked at her hand and ran in surprise.
“…Mi, I’m sorry.”
Her hand had been peeled off the rough bark and was dripping with blood.
“Irina, are you okay?”
When I asked while holding Irina’s hand tightly, she lowered her head helplessly and began to mutter.
“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…”
“Irina, you…”
I was about to tell her that there was no need to feel guilty, but I stopped for a moment and started looking at the branches she had collected.
“…Okay, I’ll make the fire. You need a little rest.”

Eventually, after discovering the black magic powder that had fallen on the branches, I realized the secret to how quickly she had made a fire so far, and said with a smirk.
“Isn’t that the first thing you put a branch in here?”
Carefully grabbing the branch and inserting it into the groove of the tree, I quickly began to rub the branch, reminiscent of the scene Irina boasted about making a fire in front of me.
“Yeah, then my hands are all broken…”
Then, with a worried expression on her face, Irina began to reach out to my hand.
– Hwareuk!
“what?”
But as soon as the tree caught fire, she hurriedly pulled her hand back and started watching me with a puzzled expression.
“How did you do it?”
“Well?”

Eventually, when she asked a question timidly, I mimicked Irina, who used to make a fire and make fun of me, giving me a disgusting expression.
“…under.”
Then, on that day, Irina, who was staring blankly, found that the wooden stick I was holding was covered with stellar mana and grinned, but after a while she started to look dark again.
“Aren’t you hungry? Irina?”
Seeing her like that, I was fidgeting inside, but it was dinner time, so I impliedly asked her a question.
“little.”
Then she answered timidly, avoiding my gaze, and upon hearing that, I got up from my seat with a smirk.
“Okay, I was just hungry. I’ll catch some fish.”
Saying that, Irina, who was staring blankly at me as I started heading towards the river, got up hurriedly and said,
“You idiot, you can’t swim.”
“How else do you remember that?”
Of course, I couldn’t swim when I was young, and now I can’t swim, but to protect Irina’s childhood, I decided to choose another method instead of swimming.
“Um, what did Clana do when she attacked me?”
For a moment, I began to collect the mana of the stars as much as possible at the tip of my finger while I had a picture of Clana, who used to shoot lasers by collecting a lot of mana from the sun at the tip of my finger.
– Paging!!
Aiming his finger at the fish, which started to glow, he released mana, and a silver laser was fired from his hand and pierced the fish.
“Okay, dinner will be fine.”
I rescued the fish floating in the river with a long branch and calmly spoke to Irina, who was smirking at me from the side.
“Would you like a bite too?”
From one to ten, all of them imitated Irina’s words in the past, and in the end, she smiled once again and nodded her head.
“Okay, then you’re going to have to get the fish out of the branches. I’ll focus on smashing the fish with the laser.”
Having said that, I handed her the long branch I was holding, and began to shoot lasers at the fish in the river in an effort to increase the adaptability of magic.
“…ha.”
For some reason, it seemed that Irina was looking at her with a complicated look, but for now, she decided not to care.
.
.
.
.

“Well, how are you?”
As the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark, I held out a fish skewer to Irina in front of me with a very nervous expression.
“Umm…”
Then Irina, who had been cooking the fish skewers for a while, carefully took a bite of the fish.
“…it’s pretty good.”
“Oh oh!”
Then, when she opened her eyes and praised her, I was delighted and picked up the fish skewer next to her and started eating it.
“Today, I won the fire, I won the fishing, I won the grilling, right?”
After eating fish for such a long time, I smiled and said to her.
“Okay, congratulations.”
“I’m not just congratulating you… I’ll keep the promise I made a long time ago.”
“A promise you made a long time ago?”
As she answered with a soulless voice, I recalled the promise I had made with her with a stern expression on my face.
“I told you that if you beat all three, you’ll reveal a secret.”
“ah…”
Then, maybe she remembered it, she let out a brief sigh, and then began to look at me with a blank expression.
“Don’t even think about wiping your mouth, say it quickly.”
Of course, my desire to find out the secret that I had been curious about for a long time was like a chimney, so I began to urge her.
“actually…”
Then Irina, who was hesitating, immediately turned her gaze to the side and spoke in a low voice.
“…The name of the ‘Bingryong’ fruit was made up by me.”
“What!?”
With my eyes wide open at those words, I started stuttering in a very bewildered way.
“Unbelievable… I’ve always believed those words until now… I’ve told the other kids the same… Wait, then, why did you doubt me in the gray forest back then…”
After hearing Irina’s words, I fell into a panic situation that I had never been through even in the first trial of the system.
“Then… What’s the real name of the fruit?”
When I asked with a slightly puzzled expression, Irina bowed her head and answered in a low voice.
“Dog love fruit.”
“Feel free.”
It was a cute name that was completely different from the ‘Bingryong’ I had known so far, so I burst out laughing without realizing it, and Irina dyed her face red and bowed her head.
“What is that? Did the dog pick up the fruit and fall in love?”
“No, that’s not it… it’s done.”
As I smiled and spoke, Irina, who was about to say something, sighed and shut her mouth.
“”………””
So, there was silence between the two of us for a while.
“Frey, I have something to tell you.”
“Yeah, tell me.”
After a while, Irina spoke quietly to me, and when I answered with a smile, she looked at me and made a shocking remark.
“I want to quit the academy.”
“What!?”
When I looked at her with a shocked expression at those words, Irina silently looked up at the sky and murmured.
“…instead, to get a job as your maid.”
Apparently, something was wrong with the fish that Irina was fed.
.

Meanwhile, at that time, the back alley at night.
“Hello! This is a scroll shop right?”
A girl in a purple robe came in through the door of a shabby stall, snooped around and asked a question.
“Huh~ ♪ Huh~ ♪”
“Are you here?”
Then, suddenly, singing began to be heard from the empty counter, and when the girl heard the sound, she frowned and leaned her head inside the counter.
“Dude… have you ever thought that the world revolves randomly…?”
“More than that, do you do business here now? Please calculate this.”

Eventually, the girl who found the shopkeeper flirting with a bottle of wine in her hand over the counter ignored his gibberish and held out the scroll she was holding.
“That’s 1500 gold… If you can afford it, you want to see me.”
The owner, who looked at the scroll carefully, giggled and started to tease her, but…
– Exactly!
“…is this enough?”
She snapped her fingers and said with a blank expression on her face.
“Exactly 1500 gold. Okay, take it.”
Then, the girl who had raised the corners of her lips slightly turned around and said hello to the exit of the store.
“Then… Goodbye.”
Her ruby-colored eyes shone through the glass door of the shop that the girl had finished saying goodbye to.
“…Push hump. Phu hump.”
Meanwhile, the owner was laughing out loud behind the counter at what was so funny.
