107 – Crisis
****
Tina was very jealous.
She was jealous of those who had what she did not have, She was jealous of those who coveted the one she loved.
Tina was impatient.
When she saw someone who offended her, she couldn’t stand it, When she saw someone trying to take what was hers, she could not restrain herself.
Tina was strong.
Easily cut down those who offend you, So much so that she can take what is hers before it is taken away.
Tina had a cruel disposition.
The one who cut her down cut off everything she loved,
She ruined everything for those who coveted what was hers.
Her people were afraid of her. She called
The devil.
She was also called a witch or a wicked woman.
Tina liked her nickname, but she didn’t always like it.
At some point, I didn’t want to be called by that nickname in front of anyone.
Because, Tina, she loved that person very much.
She said the man’s name was Ahn, and her temperament was very upright.
Know how to smile for others,
Know how to give to others,
From Noble mtl dot com
Knowing how to give up oneself for others,
She was a man like a pine tree who was upright and just.
I was living in a world completely opposite to Tina.
Is that why?
Tina didn’t want to be seen as an evil woman in front of that good man.
She was afraid that the man who had smiled brightly at her would find out his true self and never smile again.
So she pretended to be good.
She put on an innocent look, pretended to do her good deeds, and she indulged in his smile.
Even if you kill someone,
Even if you steal something from someone,
Even if I drink someone’s blood and tears,
In front of that man, she became an angel rather than a devil, spreading her pure white wings and trying to embrace him in her heart.
This was the same when Tina, who had been practicing her evil deeds, became corrupted and became a devil.
Someone told her about Tina’s evil deeds, and when Tina found out about this, she killed not only him but also everyone around her, blocking her eyes and ears inside her.
One day when such happy days continued.
Ahn eventually found out about all of Tina’s evil deeds.
Ahn left Tina’s side in sorrow, and Tina searched for him, missing him desperately.
How much time has passed?
Tina eventually succeeded in finding her old self.
She put on makeup and wore slutty clothes.
She approached him, standing with her kind smile on her face.
From now on, I will only show Anne her appearance as a woman.
Even if she does evil, she will not do good before him.
With such a firm resolve.
Ah, I also made this promise.
I will not let you run away again from now on.
I guess it’s Tina…
She must have loved it that much.

Among the novels written by Envy, I found this part most impressive.
Because this was the part where Envy’s ego was most clearly revealed.

When the sun sets and the moon begins to rise.
In the end, Dian and I, unable to find Professor Kalmia, stopped by Professor Kalmia’s office again.
“Professor. “That wasn’t there before, right?”
“···Okay.”
When I glanced at a note neatly placed on the reception table, Dian immediately opened the note and began to read its contents.
“···.”
When Dian saw the note, he frowned and brushed his hair, and I snatched up the note and started reading.
The text is shorter and more concise than expected and is written in an old-fashioned handwriting.

To. Not
A warning to the world to the cradle of education.
The invitation to the bowl is inside the log cabin.
The marriage proposal to you is in our memories.
From. Tina

An is Dian, Tina is Celetina.
This note was a note that Envy left for Dian, and was also a warning letter.
‘It means moving separately, not together.’
Envy wanted it.
When the Academy was attacked by ‘Wings of Freedom’,
I, the vessel, come to the place written on the invitation,
I hope Dian comes to the place written on the marriage proposal.
“Professor. “You understand what’s written on this note, right?”
When I asked, Dian nodded his head with a calm expression.
“Then I’ll go first. “Professor, go somewhere and see if it’s a memory or something.”
“···I understand.”
When I said that, Dian answered in a weak voice.
“Ha… Professor.”
How frustrating it looked.
I had to sigh loudly and speak to Dian with a straight face.
“Professor Kalmia is not dead yet, so if you want to save him, come to your senses first.”
“How can you guarantee that?”
Then Dian asked me with sharp eyes and a trembling voice.
“Princess Celetina was originally that kind of person.”
I said that in a calm tone.
“That kind of person…?”
“···I’m asking this because I’m really curious, Professor. Did she really love that girl? So, how could she not know this much?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
When I asked with sincerity, Dian tilted her head with a blank expression. Feeling frustrated at that, I raised my voice and said,
“Princess Celetina was a jealous woman. Not only did she have a cruel nature, she was also violent. Right?”
“It wasn’t like that…”
“So everyone else knew, but you were the only one who didn’t know? Now, what does this mean?”
“···?”
Of course I thought you would understand.
Dian tilted his head again, and when I saw that, I couldn’t hold back and started pouring out words at rapid fire.
“At least I didn’t want to look like that in front of the professor. Why? Because I loved the professor that much. Now, think about it. If you were a professor, would you want to kill someone you love in front of someone you love, or show them the body?”
“···.”
“I assure you, Envy will not kill Professor Kalmia until he is completely taken over. Why? Envy, that woman will want to appear like a woman in front of the professor.”
“How could you do that?”
“Just looking at the book he wrote… No, we’ll talk about this later and just get moving. “I think I should go quickly too.”
After saying that, I went straight out the door and started heading towards the log cabin.
Because Envy said the invitation to me was in the log cabin.

The mountain road was in disarray, as if a typhoon had passed through.
Skull rolling on the floor, covered in dust,
And even Daisy lying down on the side of the road.
As I was climbing the mountain, I felt as if I had been hit in the head with a hammer.
“···Are you alive?”
“As you can see, I’m not dead, so I’m sorry.”
When I asked him while shaking off the dust from his skull, Malik smiled bitterly and answered.
“···Is it her?”
“No. “I don’t know if he’s a former warrior or something, but that idiot came here.”
“Morte? Then there is no way you would have ended up like this…”
“It became a sin. Even though he was outside the demon realm, he seemed to have no restrictions.”
I am deeply impressed by the story, which cannot be ignored.
‘You’ve already received that ritual?’
It was absurd. That’s because I thought Mort would simply become corrupted.
But, Mort received the ritual and became a sin.
This is one of the worst developments in the game that didn’t come out until the latter half of the game.
‘No matter how many butterfly effects there are, it’s true…’
I didn’t expect it to come back like this, so I held my throbbing head and asked Malik.
“Then what about Rose and Sage?”
“I put him to sleep using sleep magic and then took him away. “Miss Daisy is the porter’s daughter, so I didn’t take her with me.”
“···.”
Have I been too complacent?
Or did I trust Malik’s inaction too deeply?
I don’t know exactly why, but that was the conclusion.
Malik failed to protect Rose and Seiji, and they were kidnapped by Mort.
“···Will I be safe?”
“You will be safe. At least until the day after tomorrow.”
“How do you know?”
“Envy, that woman doesn’t want a strict person on the stage she prepared so carefully.”
There is one fortunate thing.
Envy doesn’t want me to show up and disturb her the moment she and Dian meet.
So Envy will not touch Sage and Rose until that moment comes.
Otherwise, I’m sure she’ll get angry and interrupt her long-awaited moment of meeting.
That was the reason Envy kidnapped Seiji and Rose.
To get me away from Dian, who was clearly going to save Sage and Rose.
In order to use others to take away my power while making Dian completely my own.
‘Whose will it be?’
Thinking like that, I found Malik’s body, raised him up, placed the skull on top of him, and said,
“Let’s move first. “Senior, please take care of Daisy.”
“Yes. But where are you going?”
“I have to go pick up the kids.”
“How do you know where you are?”
“I have prepared something just in case.”
“That one has recording magic… Ah…!”
As I spoke and waved a ring, Malik tapped his skull and admired it.
It was worth it.
Because, in addition to the recording magic, another magic was being activated in the artifact I infused mana with.
