100 – Come to your senses
A moment of silence.
The corners of Envy’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
Diane’s expression became complicated when she saw that.
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Envy’s eyes, which briefly contained human emotions, return to those of the Seven Deadly Sins.
“Would you like to come with me? “If you do that, I think I’ll know for sure who I am.”
“···.”
“Phew. That stupid expression is still there. Well, there’s nothing you can do if you don’t like it. However···.”
Envy said with a shallow smile after seeing Dian’s expression of not responding.
“Next time, I won’t ask questions like I did now, I will just take you. “I regretted not doing that a long time ago.”
“···Seletina.”
“I’ll come prepared a lot. So, I’m doing well. “My fiance.”
Envy said that with a bright smile and snapped her fingers.
-Just right.
“Wait a minute…”
Dian belatedly muttered as she extended her hand towards the place where Envy had disappeared.
****
After easily dealing with Gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins.
Malik went back to the log cabin after constantly spewing harsh words at me, calling me a clever Satan and a damn junior.
Dian and I woke up about 20 girls who were sleeping in the cave and brought them to the mansion where Dian lived.
“Thank you! “How should I repay this favor?”
“Thanks to you, I survived!”
“I can do anything as long as you ask me to.”
The girls, who were staying at Dian’s mansion until their residence was decided, naturally bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude to us.
Dian reassured the girls that she was going to be away from her mansion for a while anyway, so she should take it easy.
After leaving the mansion, we sat on the sofa in Dian’s professor’s office and had a conversation.
No, to be precise, I was planning on having a conversation.
“Professor Dian?”
I was sipping tea and cautiously called Dian.
I heard that my mana was depleted. Is it really difficult?
Diane’s complexion was pale and dark, and her mood was as heavy as wet cotton.
“As for those friends earlier, I will talk to the saint and find a way. So you don’t have to worry too much.”
“···Okay. “Please.”
I said this because I was wondering if it was because I was worried about the girls.
I guess that wasn’t true, Dian answered in a hushed voice.
An awkward atmosphere continues.
I feel like my throat is burning in the dead air.
“Ha…”
For your information, I absolutely hate this kind of awkward atmosphere.
“Professor, be honest.”
In the end, I couldn’t stand it anymore and urged Dian in a calm voice.
“That person came to the cave, right?”
It was a question, but I was confident. Because I felt it as soon as I returned to the cave. The squishy feeling of jealousy and heartbreaking regret that spreads everywhere in the cave.
I noticed this right away, but I pretended not to notice. Because I knew the complicated and sad story between Dian and Envy.
So, I was planning to wait until Dian told me first.
“Envy, one of the seven deadly sins. A princess whose name was Celetina when she was human. What did she say when she came?”
I felt like my insides would explode if I continued like this, so I decided to speak directly to Dian.
“···A cadet really knows a lot.”
“I was in a situation where I had to do that, so I only heard the story. From what I heard, they were engaged, right?”
“It was like that.”
“Professor.”
I said with a straight face.
“Come to your senses.”
“···.”
“The entity you met, the Seven Deadly Sins. “Not Princess Celetina.”
“But…”
“The professor was a member of the warrior party.”
“···.”
I stared at Dian’s violently shaking eyes and thought hard.
Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand Dian’s feelings.
Also, I didn’t feel like saying these words as if I was admonishing Dian.
I had no choice. That’s because I’ve seen Dian as agitated as he is now in the game.
If Dian’s mentality is not properly controlled, Dian will become corrupted.
‘Absolutely not.’
When I think of Dian’s fallen state, I swallow my dry saliva.
I remember. The scene where Envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and Dian, one of the great wizards, spread disastrous magic across the academy.
And that despairing moment when I thought about giving up for the first time while playing the game.
‘The fact that you don’t answer even after this…’
It is a kind of flag that Dean is not able to get his mind together.
It is also a sign that Dian will become corrupted if action is not taken immediately.
‘Still, it’s a shame because I’m a deadbeat.’
If not, it is clear that we would have run into a hopeless situation.
‘It’s a bit uncomfortable, though.’
Knowing that there was a sure and only option to overcome this situation, I stood up.
“···?”
Then, Dian looks at me with eyes full of doubt.
“I’m sorry.”
After saying that, I opened my palms.
-Wow!
I swung.
In this manga game, the only way to change Dian’s mind when the flag was raised was to lower the price.

Count Armad was reading a letter from the imperial family stamped with a golden lion symbol in his office.
The Count’s complexion suddenly darkened.
This is because the personal letter he was reading was the emperor’s reply to the petition he had sent.
“···A doom has settled in.”
Count Armad sighed as he threw the emperor’s letter on the floor, blasphemously.
It was worth it. The petition sent by the count to the emperor was a warning that a crisis was imminent on the continent, but the personal letter sent by the emperor was full of only plausible sentences, and in summary, it was a message to stay calm as there was no need to worry.
“···.”
Count Armad fell into a deep sleep, but his mind was constantly tapping away at his calculator.
If not the emperor, then who in this empire… Or on this continent, would be able to properly listen to his opinion?
Mort, a former warrior?
He is known to have fallen, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Deren, who was the porter for the warrior party?
If Mort said, that person was a terrible person to die. It can never be trusted.
Nobles of the Empire?
Including the Duke of Astrea, who is known to be missing, the nobles of the empire are all cunning and selfish like snakes. There is no one you can trust. Above all, there is no one with power or power to rely on.
“The people who are worth talking to are…”
Everyone was in Adenia.
Hildana, the best archmage in the empire, and Dianina, an archmage from the warrior party.
Count Armad seriously considered moving to Adenia.
-Knock knock.
“Count. This is Arel. “I have something to report to you urgently.”
As he was doing so, a knock on the door and the butler’s voice reached the earl’s ears.
-Ratly.
Without listening to the Count’s answer, Arel opened the door and entered his office.
The Count did not reprimand Arel. That’s because he was waiting for news from Arel.
“Okay. “What’s going on?”
“Daphne, this is news from that woman.”
“Oh, yes. “What are the woman’s current whereabouts?”
“She said she visited the Dakan branch two days ago.”
“So?”
“The staff responded according to her instructions given by the Count, and the woman said she asked them to give the letter to the Count and then quietly went away.”
“That’s right! “I knew that!”
Count Armad, who had been in serious trouble until recently, was able to clenched his fists for the first time in a long time and enjoy the excitement of a child.
Of course, the woman named Daphne was like a mystery to the Count that could not be solved until recently.
She made outrageous demands and turned the guards, whom the Count had spent a lot of money on, into insectivores who only received a salary and did no work.
In the process, more than ten branches of Armad Company were damaged.
But Count Armad did not demand compensation from her or inflict harm on her.
Of course, it wasn’t because Count Armad was nice. He just realized. If you mess with a woman named Daphne for no reason, you’re the one who gets screwed.
This was a self-evident fact, as the Guards, many of whom were strong enough to go to war with any kingdom, were unable to move.
So, Count Armad decided to deal with her with her head rather than with her strength.
Results of collecting and analyzing the data so far.
Count Armad knew.
Her behavior has several consistent features in common.
She was so extreme that it made my stomach tingle just hearing it, but she never took a person’s life.
Also, she did not treat anyone who was kind to her, and always avoided causing harm to civilians.
Looking at that, the woman named Daphne was right that she was a crazy b*tch, but she was also a good person.
The instructions that Count Armad gave to each branch after learning of this fact through analysis were simple.
-When her lady, Daphne, visits, she must be treated more hospitably than the royal family, but her existing regulations must be strictly observed. (Physical response, emotional response absolutely prohibited)
“Well, there is no one easier to deal with than the right person. I’m curious. “What would a crazy b*tch who lost her way say?”
Count Armad opened Daphne’s letter brought by Arel and began to read.
The more he read, the more Count Armad’s face turned red.
Arel, who was watching that scene, felt her fear and curiosity at the same time and thought.
Daphne, what on earth did that woman write about her, and why did the Count, who had been telling her that equanimity was the life of her merchant, look so angry?
“···Wait a minute.”
Meanwhile, the count suddenly remembered a number of cases and was able to calm down his feelings that were close to anger.
Signs of chaos began to appear on the continent.
But, coincidentally, a woman named Daphne appeared around this time.
She is a strong person hiding in the wilderness, who is presumed to have enough power to surrender without realizing it.
“Arel.”
“Yes?”
“So that you can listen to everything written here.”
Count Armad, who had decided to do something, said so with his eyes shining.
