Episode 120
“Hands off.”
A word that Rene spat out with a wrinkled expression.
Diana’s hand, which was gently caressing my cheek, fell.
Only then did I feel relief, and I could barely calm my beating heart.
If Lene hadn’t cut off Diana’s ability… … .
Just imagining it was terrifying.
Beyond the fact that I am a descendant of Asen, I may have said everything, including the setting that I am the creator of this world.
Diana’s powers would have forced me to do that unrealistic thing.
That’s why I expressed my deepest gratitude to Rene.
Diana, her abilities.
It is the power to interfere with and control ‘living things’ at will.
All living things must bow down to Diana.
She paid for her powers with her own life, able to interfere with all living things.
Silky, not only absorbs life force, but also can manipulate the life form he has injured.
However, it is a very dangerous ability and the more you use it, the more vitality is not restored, so the ability is sealed with a crown.
also.
There was a fatal weakness in Diana’s abilities.
As long as the conditions to destroy her authority are met, Diana is literally a weaker opponent than a worm.
Even so, as of now, I couldn’t stand against Diana’s ability.
If you do, there is only one way out.
… … A stroke of the demon god that I hadn’t used in the meantime because a big penalty would come upon me if I used it.
‘If René hadn’t stopped me, I would have used the stroke.’
The three strokes bestowed upon me by the god of arrogance.
It was postponed because the exact penalty had not yet been revealed, but this time I had to seriously consider it as there was no other way.
However, fortunately, the crisis seemed to have passed.
“… … What a disappointment.”
Breaking the silence, I opened my mouth.
Then he said to Diana, who was staring at Rene with a rigid gaze.
Ssuk-.
While pretending to steal her eyes to give her a sense of shame.
“I didn’t expect your friend to be so violent.”
“Howie, you’d better be careful with your words.”
“Could it be that you approached the lady because you were suspicious of me? The young lady said that she made a friend and liked it.”
Unlike the exaggerated gestures and tone, it contains suppressed sad emotions.

Now I was acting.
It is to play the role of a faithful escort who sincerely cares for Rene.
“… … .”
At this, Diana kept her mouth shut.
At the same time, glancing sideways at Lene seemed to be looking into her eyes.
Seeing this, it seems that he at least regards Rene as a friend.
So, it must be that he wasn’t forcibly shaking René away using his authority.
I don’t know why.
Diana seemed to care about Lene more than anyone else.
However, it was a time when I was trying to spur my acting even more because I was in the most urgent need to overcome this situation.
“… … I never did.”
Rene was talking to me with a displeased look.
This was lightly ignored.
Then she stopped crying and stared at Diana.
“… … .”
Diana was still frozen in her seat, unable to move hastily.
It was a situation where he could end up fighting Renee.
yet.
Diana struggled for words.
“Lene, you know. That we need to find out Mr. Howe’s identity.”
“… … .”
Rene didn’t answer Diana’s words.
I just look away and try to ignore Diana’s words.
However, Diana’s words pierced René’s ears.
“… … I’ll back off this time But, Lene, be careful. Mr. Howe seems to be hiding more than I thought.”
Having said the last word, Diana meekly stepped back.
I couldn’t respond to that, and I couldn’t agree.
As Diana said, it was unknown what kind of damage I would do to Rene, but it was clear that I was deceiving Rene.
Diana drew a bright smile at me, who was stiff again.
“Excuse me, Mr. Howe.”
“… … .”
Diana, who had left those words, walked away with her white hair dancing.
I stared at Diana’s back and was lost in thought.
… … If you know it’s rude, I don’t want you to come again.
Still, for the time being, Diana won’t be using her powers against me.
It’s probably not until next semester that I’ll be able to use the authority.
Her deceitful authority was to cut down on her own life, so there was a limit to the number of times it was set.
As I expected, it seemed that Rene would be the one to participate in the final exams.
one,
In the current situation, that kind of thing doesn’t matter much.
Ssuk-.
I turned my gaze and looked at Rene, who made up a gloomy expression.
As if caught in an indescribably complex emotion, Rene just kept his mouth shut.
That was when
“… … Adele.”
Rene opened her mouth and asked me if there had been a change of heart in that short time.
I answered Rene’s voice.
“Yes, lady.”
“Adele, you know this?”
Rene pointed to the ring on her index finger.
To this, I nodded.
There is no way you don’t know
An artifact obtained from the territory of the undead, Youngsin Full Moon.
I gave the Fang of Darkness to Renee instead of having it.
but.
It didn’t seem like Rene was asking about the identity of the Young God of the Full Moon.
“… … I do not know.”
That’s why I
He expressed his denial to Rene.
What Rene asks is not about the identity of the Full Moon Spirit, but why he gave this ring to himself.
At the time, it didn’t seem like a big deal, but Rene seemed to be worried about me putting the ring on her index finger.
what does that mean… … .
I also heard what it means to put a ring on a woman’s index finger while living in the demon realm.
I don’t remember exactly, but unlike humans, it didn’t mean love.
I only remembered that.
It was information that I didn’t really need for me, who was trying to collect and recall a lot of information.
“… … I see.”
At my reply, Rene smiled.
Together.
Why?
Lene feels sadness.
wherefore.
She must be smiling… … .
I mustered up the courage to apologize to Renee.
“If I have offended you, I apologize.”
“No, something like that.”
Lene shook her head.
The feeling of sorry pressed heavily on my chest.
I couldn’t even utter a word and mumbled in front of Rene.
What should I say?
That there is no meaning in putting a ring on your index finger?
Or would it be right to show at least the proof of the Demon God so that I can be sure that I am a priest?
I don’t know.
Whatever you choose doesn’t look good.
I still couldn’t understand René’s attitude.
“… … .”
I closed my mouth and stared at Lene.
Could it be because of the aftermath of blocking Diana’s momentum instead of me?
Renee’s tidy hair was blowing and covering her ears.
Ssuk-.
I quietly reached out and ran my hand through Renee’s hair to the back of her ear.
At this, Rene opened her mouth.
“I don’t know, it doesn’t matter.”
“… … What do you mean?”
“Just put it back in.”
Having said that, Lene pulled the ring from her index finger.
Then he handed me the ring.
A ring that rests on my hand.
Rene stretched out her finger as if asking for it to be inserted.
… … It is a white and tender finger.
However, it is full of calluses and blisters, probably because of all the training.
I put the ring on Rene’s index finger again.
“Adele.”
Renee, who had been staring at my series of appearances, opened her mouth again.
At this, I met my eyes.
Rene showed a smile that looked somewhat sad.
“Adele’s identity, it doesn’t matter. It just needs to be my escort.”
“… … .”
Having said that, Lene turned and walked away.
Jerk-jerk-.
Rene’s footsteps gradually recede.
By the time Lene was completely out of sight of me.
“What is this situation… … .”
I had no choice but to shake my head because of the sudden headache.
* * *
next day.
After the first period, Luna approached me.
“Adele, did something bad happen yesterday?”
But I couldn’t concentrate on what Luna was saying at all.
[You bastard, did you eat something wrong?]
Even Samuel sent me words of concern, but I was distracted by the conversation I had last night.
after that happened.
I desperately searched for the meaning of putting a ring on my index finger.
And finally I was able to figure out what it meant.
that.
‘… … Did you say it was an eternal oath?’
okay.
When I looked for it before, it seemed to have a similar meaning.
But isn’t it a completely different meaning from the feeling of love?
I couldn’t understand why Rene reacted so violently.
I was just guessing.
‘Lene lost her mother.’
And the eternal oath, the meaning expressed by putting the ring on her.
I thought that perhaps she was trying to replace my mother’s vacant position with me, who had sworn to eternity.
but.
‘… … I can’t.’
Because the empty seat of parents cannot be replaced by anything.
Also, isn’t it a situation where I don’t even know what I wanted to swear to myself.
And that wasn’t all.
Rene,
They didn’t seem to know my identity, but at least they seemed certain that I wasn’t a priest.
“… … .”
What should I do?
What can I do to dispel Diana’s suspicions and find out what Lene wants from me?

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find an answer.
What confuses me even more is,
“Praise this body… … !!”
It was Fron, who had been frequently screaming in class lately.
how.
Why is Pron like that these days?
