Episode 11
The thing to come has finally come… … .
Crete had told me to order a servant to come into the office.
I took a step closer with a nervous expression.
The door to the office opened with a squeaking sound.
As I entered the door, I saw Crete sitting in a chair with a cold expression on her face.
‘What are you thinking… … .’
Unable to grasp Crete’s plans in the slightest, I couldn’t relax my tense expression.
In the end, I had to get my curiosity out of my mouth.
“Why did you let me live?”
From nob le mt l dot com
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for Crete to let me live.
He stole the eyes of Arrogance, the secret treasure of the Baarez family, and even deceived his daughter, Rene.
Crete opened her mouth as if it were natural for my attitude that she did not know why.
“I saved it because it was useful.”
“… … .”
I got angry inside.
therefore.
I mean, what’s the use of it?
I had noticed that Crete wanted something from me.
But I couldn’t figure out what I was looking for.
Should I say that I feel uncomfortable… … .
The moment I skim down Crete with wide open eyes.
“You tricked my daughter well.”
“… … !”
Along with the fishy laugh Crete vomited, the tremendous demonic energy clamped down on my body.
His shoulders trembled and his breathing quickened as he took that momentum forward.
I managed to save mana and release the living attribute.
Boo-.
Maybe they weren’t trying to pressure me with sincerity, but despite the huge difference in skill between me and me, their lives clashed and offset each other.
Crete looked at me with a little admiration and regained her momentum.
“It’s quite right.”
“… … Don’t play pranks like this.”
“Why should I?”
“Are you sure you don’t intend to kill me anyway?”
“Hmm, it’s quite nice to notice.”
Crete said with a smile.
“It’s worth knowing the name, say the name.”
“… … My name is Adele.”
“Adele, it’s Adele… … .”
Crete looked at me, repeating my name without Asen’s last name.
The gaze is very burdensome… … .
However, there is no need to be intimidated all the time.
I stood up straight and asked Crete a question.
“Then tell me what you want.”
“It’s a simple story. Continue what you told my daughter.”
“That means… … .”
“I won’t say it twice.”
“… … .”
I recognized the meaning of Crete.
Crete was urging me to become René’s escort.
Why?
To Crete, I would be an outsider and a very suspicious figure.
Don’t you think that I could pose a threat to Renee?
In the midst of staring at Crete to figure out his intentions, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing inside.
Why Crete made such an outrageous offer.
‘… … I can see why.’
The unsympathetic eyes of Crete.
Crete was confident.
The confidence that if I betray myself, I can tear myself to death… … .
What an arrogant person this is.
Within a few hours of meeting the opponent, he had gauged his level and was trying to crush him under him.
He was also a man with the look of the head of the Barares family.
It was when I was inwardly admiring.
snap.
When Crete beckoned, my body floated in the air.
I had to swallow dry saliva at the irresistible feeling of floating.
“Open your mouth.”
When Crete spoke, my intuition sent me a signal that I shouldn’t open my mouth so fiercely.
However, Crete forcefully opened my tightly closed mouth.
Then, from the palm of Crete, a poisonous snake resembling a dragon climbed up my neck.
The venomous snake invaded my esophagus and gnawed at it, and at some point I realized that it had settled in the middle of my chest.
snort… … .
The process was very painful, so when I coughed, Crete continued indifferently.
“It is a kind of loneliness. If you have other thoughts, loneliness will break your body.”
“… … !”
I couldn’t help but shudder.
loneliness.
It was the name of a poison made from mana that parasitizes the human body and leads to the destruction of the host.
If I ever betray Rene or try to escape the Baares family estate, loneliness will tear my heart apart without mercy.
If he tried to get rid of his solitude, there would be no way he could use his hands, because a signal would go to Crete.
To sum it up, if you go against Crete’s heart even a little bit.
It means that you are in a situation where your heart could burst and die.
“I will call you back later. Get plenty of rest in the meantime.”
Crete orders me to celebrate, as my complexion has turned pale and I am trembling.
damn… … .
I held back my rage and repeated harsh swear words in my mind.
It’s not that I’m giving you a bottle and I’m not giving you medicine, and in this situation, it’s a nonchalant order.
… … However, it was clear that my position was weak in the current situation, so I had to swallow the swear words that rose to the end of my throat.
“Go away.”
I bowed my head and dragged my steps at the Crete’s celebratory order that followed again.
But my face, bent down, showed no emotion of frustration.
Because the way to get rid of solitude flashed through my mind.
* * *
outside of the office.
A neatly dressed servant was waiting for me.
The servant also had black hair and two horns.
“We will assign you a room to stay in the future.”
“… … yes.”
A servant who is respectful and leads the way.
At this, he hardened his face.
Because I noticed that I had no right to refuse.
… … You really want to go out in earnest.
user’s words.
It showed Crete’s willingness to accept me as a guest.
They must be trying to find out and invest in the cotyledon of Adele’s talent.
On top of that, my ability, Position Exchange, will be useful for rescue operations, so I think I’m planning to use it as an escort for Rene to protect her.
‘I feel like I’ve been caught.’
I wasn’t used to being treated like this, so my taste was a bit bitter.
But in fact, just saving his life was something to be reckoned with.
And above all.
I don’t know why, but it felt like riding on a tailwind.
I feel like this situation is going to work for me very well.
I wondered if it was because of my mood.
However, the feeling as a ‘writer’ who had seen a lot of virtue in the meantime was telling me.
It’s never a bad situation… … .
Lost in thought, while walking around the Baares family’s mansion, following the attendant.
tall.
The servant stopped walking and looked back.
“You can stay here from now on. Meals will be provided three times a day.”
“All right.”
I replied briefly.
More important than meals was the room assigned by Crete.
Crete’s office was unexpectedly different from the style of humans and was antique.
So, even if my room was in the Demon World, it would have had a normal shape.
“Then, rest in peace.”
When the servant left the last word and left, I opened the door.
Sigh.
The sound of friction between wood and metal rang in my ears, and soon the interior of the room was revealed.
‘Not bad.’
The furniture made of wood was quite luxurious.
Looking at the bed in the corner of the room, I want to lie down and close my eyes right now… … .
However, it was still too early to close my eyes.
“… … I’ll have to get rid of him first.”
Loneliness nestled near the heart.
If we don’t get rid of him, the scope of our future activities will be extremely narrow.
Getting rid of solitude was indispensable to me.
“It should be, please… … .”
In fact, I was still dubious.
Can loneliness be eliminated in this way?
He couldn’t even imagine what would happen to Crete if he failed.
I have to try it though.
“appointed.”
The solitude sleeping inside the body was designated as the ‘object’ of the location exchange.
I saw an arrow pierce my chest, extending thinly like a thread from the tip of my finger.
The location exchange skill judged the solitude made of mana to be ‘inanimate’.
In response, I rolled up my mouth and spat out a cast word.
“movement.”
Then my vision reversed.
Took-.
The solitude that burst out of my chest landed safely in the palm of my hand.
If it had been dropped, the signal would have gone straight to Crete, but Solitude was still asleep without opening its eyelids.
‘Did you put out the urgent fire?’
All that remains now is that some action must be taken before solitude opens its eyes.
I thought about killing solitude, but it was dismissed right away.
As soon as you pose a threat to him, a signal will go to Crete.
If so, what’s left of it?
‘I guess I’m just conciliating him… … .’
However, there was no good way to appease him.
What Solitude likes is mana with high purity of magic.
However, the guy who ate Crete’s mana couldn’t be pleased with the low-quality mana of the half demons.
when i spin my head
Squeak-.
I began to open my eyes, which had been locked in solitude, little by little.
Loneliness, realizing that the mana supply from the chest had been disconnected, was about to wake up.
What do we do?
What must be given to satisfy the picky appetite of solitude?
Contemplating, I closed my eyes.
Be it what it is.
“Try this one.”
The droplets of mana formed on his index finger, he added the dark attribute to it and exposed it to solitude.
Solitude was about to signal to Crete, but stopped and began to snort.
– … … ?!
Solitude smelled the black water drops and opened his eyes wide.
Then he stretched out his tongue and began to lick the water droplets.
The solitude that had eaten away all the droplets before I knew it was satisfying, so I belched.
… … .
Then he fell asleep again.
“succeded… … .”
Satisfying solitude by using a small amount of mana and dark attributes.
It could be seen that this removed the noose around the neck to some extent.
In the future, whenever Solitude wakes up, you can feed it with a drop of water containing the Darkness attribute and put it to sleep.
“after.”
It felt as if all the energy in my body was draining away.
After possessing Adele’s body, it didn’t last long.
But how many times did the crisis of death come? … .
dump.
I lay down on the bed as if collapsing.
And to check the physical condition, the status window was displayed in the field of view.
[Assen Adele]
: Race – [half (half) E]
: Tendency – [ Chaos ]
: Talent – [ Location exchange ‘Ⅰ ⇒ Ⅱ’ ]
: Characteristics – [ Interest ] [ Preoccupation ] [ Live ] [ Dark ] [ Mana Management ] [ Iris of Arrogance ]
: Mana – [ 341 ⇒ 241 ]
The final value of mana decreased by a whopping 100, but rather the proficiency of position exchange increased.
‘I did use location swapping a lot.’
Maybe that’s why the level rose quite quickly.
But in the future, the growth of location swapping will be even slower.
This is because the higher the level, the more skills required.
‘What needs to be resolved first is the final value of mana.’
Compared to ordinary people, it was still not small, but since it became René’s escort, it was necessary to increase it.
The main characters in my novels had an immeasurable amount of mana.
‘What should I do?’
There were many ways to increase the final value of mana.
How to find hidden artifacts and so on… … .
But now I was too weak to own them.
‘Ghmm, what should I do?’
Shouldn’t have used the final value of mana in return… … .
I had to fall asleep tossing and turning in frustration.
and after a few days.
Unexpectedly, I found a ‘sure’ way to increase the final value of mana.
