undead

exiting with a smile of relief and started slicing again.

If you piled up as many of these neutralized bodies as possible at the entrance, no matter how strong the
undead, only one would be able to get out.

I would like to clean up the situation completely by cutting them down from the ground as well, but if I do,
my life will not be left.

Profit…

After slicing for a long time and creating a low wall made of undead, I carefully opened the door, grabbing
my still burning heart and pulling out a black robe from my arms.

“under…”

And as soon as I opened the door, I stared blankly at the scene unfolding in front of me for a moment, then
carefully closed the door and swallowed my saliva.

“…fuck it.”

I just understood everything that was happening down here.

. . . . .

A few minutes before Frey opened the door to the ground and attained some kind of enlightenment,

“Are you going that way?”

Irina Filliard, who was hiding behind the door where the magic circle was hanging using the Stealth
Magic Scroll, kept her head sticking out, watching Frey heading towards the passage to avoid the undead
horde.

“Strange… so strange…”

When Frey disappeared completely into the aisle, Irina began to mutter with a puzzled expression on her
face.

“Why does Frey do good only after he has done evil?”

It wasn’t until two months ago that she became convinced of Frey’s good deeds.

After the ‘People’s Dormitory Attack’, no matter how much background investigations were conducted,
little information was gathered due to the gender gap and lack of funds.

After the Dark Golem was destroyed in that day’s incident, it was possible because all the monsters and
dangerous monsters inside had migrated to somewhere.

Of course, nevertheless, the gray forest was not an easy place. It was because of the harsh natural
environment and the wild beasts that took their place in the place of the monsters were lurking
everywhere.

However, Irina collected all the money she had without money to purchase magic scrolls, and even took a
leave of absence from the academy, homeless in the Ashen Forest, and immersed herself in research.

Irina’s tenacity shone when she had a problem and she had to find the answer to it.

“Hey, this is…!

After a month of searching through the gray forest, Irina was able to find decisive information.

It was because, as usual, he realized what this place was like the moment he entered the particularly
prominent cave to avoid the sudden torrential rain that started pouring down while researching hard.

“There are traces of attraction and blood on the stones around, and I can feel the sparkling mana that
Liana used… Then, maybe…?”

When she was threatened by an unidentified man with an eye patch on, Irina struggled to escape
somehow.

The memories of that time were vivid enough to come out in a dream to this day, so it was a breeze to
recognize the traces of her struggles.

In addition, instead of running out of mana, Irina, who felt the same mana in the depths of the cave as
Liana and Frey, thanks to the increased mana sensing ability, swallowed saliva and began to rummage
through her backpack.

‘Obviously there was a woman’s scream at that time. So, if this was a place where slaves were raised…’

Eventually, Irina gave up her monthly meal expenses, took out the mountain attack scrolls, and quietly
entered the cave. Irina took a deep breath, anticipating the terrible scene that would soon unfold before
her eyes…

“…under?”

Eventually, seeing the situation unfolding in front of me, I had no choice but to let out a breath.

Instead of sex slaves or torture devices, there were dried up corpses of monsters.

Char…

And, between the bodies of those monsters, the sparkling mana was still shining.

“…..!”

Irina, who was staring at the scene, caught something at her feet, and looked down involuntarily and was
terrified.

“Is it a corpse…?”

Because there was the body of a woman who had been decapitated.

Fortunately, she was a famous war mage throughout the continent, so with a slight frown on her face, she
began examining the woman’s neck next to the corpse.

“…you’re smiling.”

Whether it was because of the sparkling mana or because of the cool cave, the woman, who had
maintained a relatively intact condition until then, was smiling too calmly to say that she had died by
cutting her throat.

If this woman had really been Frey’s sex slave and had been killed while running, it would have been
impossible to come out.

Moreover, the dried bloodstains at the entrance of the cave continued all the way to the corpse, and there
were a lot of bloodstains lying next to the corpse.

Judging from that, the person who took the life of a woman at the same time that he brought me here
would be Liana, who tends to vomit after attacking… ie Frey.

“Student! You can’t enter that forest!!”

“It’s okay, I’m fully prepared.”

“Yep! Last time, an entire village was burned by monsters in that forest! Seeing that only the dead were
left in the village, all the living would have been taken to the Magul… Do you still want to go?”

Irina recalled the unfortunate incident she had heard from a local native who tore her up before coming
here, and was only able to convince herself after discovering the corpses of people mixed with monsters
and family photos in the woman’s arms.

‘I didn’t catch a sex slave… I was helping the woman to get revenge.’

Frey commits a good deed without anyone knowing after he has done a bad deed to someone.

That was Frey’s secret that she had only discovered after a month of research.

“Before, I threatened Perloche to run away on purpose, and then I stopped the undead by myself… I’m
sure of that as well.”

And that conviction was once again solidified by Frey showing the same behavior this time.

‘By the way, why are you doing that?’

Irina was so completely convinced of Frey, but she couldn’t quite figure out why.

Of course, if you ask Frey directly, you’ll know right away… But there must be some reason why he puts
so much effort into hiding his good deeds.

It is too dangerous to approach him even though he did not even understand why, whether a variable
occurred during one regression and whether Frey changed or he was like that from the beginning.

Because he was such a vicious Frey, there could be some kind of malice hidden in that good deed, or there
could be some reason why the good deed should not be caught.

So, it’s still time…

Kuwagwang!!

“Huh!?”

Irina, who had been contemplating for such a long time, opened her eyes and screamed at the sudden
roar.

“Stop it!”

I looked up to see what the hell was going on, and Frey, with red and bloodshot eyes, was running out of
the aisle, bleeding from his mouth.

Because of that wind, the undead in the passage were literally crushed and pushed out, thanks to which
Frey was also stabbed and scratched by such undead and suffered considerable injuries, but he began to
charge at the gigantic undead without hesitation at all.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

Eventually, as he swung his sword with all his suckling power, one of the two giant undead, who were
manipulating something, flew off the leg.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!”

“Ahhhhhhh!!”

After a while, Frey, who was shaking and bleeding from his eyes, began to twist the legs of the undead,
who began to manipulate things even more quickly, with a sword, and twist with all his might.

“Well, I think something is wrong…”

Irina, who was watching the scene blankly, hurriedly started collecting flames in her hand.

“I’m dying!!”

Meanwhile, Frey, who was twisting the sword with all his might, cut off the legs of the undead and
smashed something they were manipulating.

“Damn it…”

He was the one who defeated a large number of undead and two giant undead with such an unbelievable
explosive power, but it seemed like that was enough.

Because, after pouring out all his strength, he knelt down helplessly and sat down on his seat.

“No… we can’t end it here…”

With a desperate expression on his face when his body no longer had power, he took something out of his
arms, and Irina, who somehow felt an ominous feeling in it, eventually spewed fire from her hand and
intervened in the situation.

Kuwagwang!!

“Keeek!!”

As Irina spewed fire from her hand, the undead around Frey burned.

“Who, who…”

Then Frey, who was struggling to ask a question while putting the thing in her hand again, slowly closed
her eyes, thinking that Irina was being protected unconsciously when Irina hugged her, and then lost
consciousness.

Kuwagwagwang!
“Ke-e-e-e!!”

Irina, who was firing while holding Frey, started heading for the exit through the door that Frey had
drilled until just before she ran out of mana she had saved for a week.

“Ke-e-e-e!!”

“go away!!”

Irina, who fed the last fireball that she could use to the undead, who had started following closely behind,
took out an attack scroll that she had kept in her pocket in case of an emergency and opened the door…

“…under.”

Soon he was able to find out why Frey had suddenly returned with a flair.

“Evacuate all the children in the orphanage!! Right now!!!”

“Saint… Stop being stubborn. If you keep doing that…”

“If you don’t evacuate right away, I’ll use ‘Sun God’s Protection’ to destroy the orphanage myself!!!”

“Tae, the sun god’s protection…?”

Beyond Perloche, who collapsed on the floor, pale and tired, gasping and screaming at the Pope and the
Paladins who were blocking him in front of him.

Boom! Boob!!

Whoa! boo!

It was because they saw the orphanage of the Sun God Church where a fun party was being held with
firecrackers and trumpet sounds.

‘Maybe… the magic circle on the ceiling…’

Irina, who was frozen for a moment and sweating in a cold sweat in a terrible situation that would have
happened had it not been for Frey, felt a presence behind her and hurriedly looked back.

“Keek!!”

“Mister, fuck you!”

After seeing the undead approaching right behind her, Irina hurriedly tore the attack scroll in her hand.

Grip Jijijik!

“Uh-huh!?”

Soon after, he felt the familiar feeling he had experienced during the performance evaluation incident and
disappeared as a light together with Frey.

And then, a brief silence passed.

“Keah, hey, hey!!”

“What, what!?”

“Undead! An undead has appeared!!”

Until the beginning of the ‘Holy Undead Knight Incident’ that will turn the Empire and the Sun God
Church upside down.

EPISODE 53

Grip Jijijik!

The place where Irina and Frey arrived, illuminating all directions with light, was in a wooded forest.

“Ugh…!”

Irina, who was panting for a while due to the side effect of teleporting, began to look around with sharp
eyes.
“Hey, where are you?”

Irina, who had been looking around the familiar but unfamiliar place with a wary expression for a while,
quietly looked down at her own arms.

“Lord, are you dead?”

In Irina’s arms, Frey hugged her tightly and didn’t move.

Irina, who frowned slightly as she looked into the scene, carefully lowered him to the floor and quietly put
her ear to his chest.

“…for now, he’s alive.”

Although Molgol was a corpse, Frey’s heart was clearly beating. Of course, it was very weak.

Irina, who was slightly relaxed thanks to this, cut her ear off Frey’s chest and sighed, then suddenly
began to look down at his chest, which had been loosed by the undead.

“Well…”

Irina, who hesitated for a moment as she saw this, glanced at Frey for a moment, then carefully took off
his shirt and murmured.

“I mean, it’s kind of weird.”

His body was pretty clean except for the traces of burning mana circuits and the wounds he had just
received from the undead.

However, there was a dark aura emanating from every nook and cranny of his upper body.

Shoo…

After quietly observing such a phenomenon for a while, Irina started stroking Frey’s bare body with her
own hands.

Then, in a place where there was no obvious wound, it began to feel like the last time I touched his body,
and it began to be delivered to her hand.

Irina, who continued to caress Frey’s body while feeling such a touch, began to widen her eyes at some
point.

“Hey, is this…?”

It was because the sparkling mana that Frey had emitted from the intense battle he had just been
engaged in mixed with the dark energy above him and disappeared, gradually revealing his true body.

“Oh my gosh…”

The state of his body, which was finally revealed completely, was quite shocking.

The shoulder blades had turned blue, and there were puncture or cut scars all over the body, and some of
the scars burst again and blood was oozing out.

And, those wounds were evenly distributed throughout the body.

‘Most of them are wounds from monsters or monsters… Besides…’

Since she was the best battle wizard on the continent, Irina realized that it was a wound from monsters
and monsters even at a glance. could find out

And from that point on, Liana… No, Irina, who began to tremble in front of the sight of Frey responding to
the attacks that were being inflicted on her while she was too busy, knelt down for a moment and started
muttering with a confused expression.

“Hey, why…? Why the hell did you do that?”

However, of course, there was no response from Frey, who was lying unconscious.

After seeing Frey’s condition, Irina came to her senses and took a deep breath and started to hug him
again.

Irina lacks strength because she is a wizard, but Frey was so light that she lifted him up without difficulty.
‘…how the hell did this happen?’

The scroll she bought was obviously an ‘attack scroll’.

However, since she was poor from birth, even with all the money she had, it was not enough to buy an
official scroll, so she bought an ‘illegal scroll’ in a back alley.

Of course, it was a back alley where scroll scams were frequent enough to say, ‘Buying scrolls in a back
alley is suicide’, but… Irina was confident.

This is because she was a prodigy of undefeated magic when it came to magic, and in the future, she was
an archmage who would make a name for herself on all continents.

So, although he couldn’t use magic, his magical knowledge was still there, and of course, it was just lying
down and eating rice cakes to identify a bad scroll because of it.

She had been searching all the magic scroll shops in the back alley since morning, and finally was able to
purchase the scrolls from a shabby street vendor in the evening.

Because all the other stores sold fake or bad scrolls, so there was only one place left.

The owner with a band-aid on his face, who somehow seemed aged, handed the scroll with a meaningful
smile, but it was clearly an ‘attack scroll’ that worked.

But, why did the attack scroll change to a ‘teleport’ scroll? Could it be that he really made a mistake?

‘Come to think of it… it was like this last time…’

Irina, who was still in her thoughts like that, immediately shook her head and began to move.

The strange magic scroll, the mysterious owner, and the relevance of the last incident to this one were
important, but right now, it was because the priority was to identify this mysterious place.

“…what?”

Irina, holding Frey and carefully exiting the wooded area, saw the scene unfolding in front of her and
muttered with a firm expression on her face.

“Here… maybe…?”

In her sight, the shabby secret base she had built with Frey when she was a child came into view.

. . . . .

“Sigh…”

Irina, who was lying on the worn-out bed of the secret base and staring at Frey who was moaning, began
to look at the setting sun with a frown on her face.

“…my head hurts.”

This is the place where Frey and Irina’s childhood memories are melted, and it is a forest located near the
Duke of Starlight, where she was injured in the face while saving Frey from a wolf.

When I first realized that fact, Irina held her head and pondered for a moment as to why the Magic Scroll
had sent herself and Frey to such a place, then quietly embraced Frey and quickly started descending the
mountain.

It was very easy to get out because she realized that this was the forest she used to traverse frequently
when she was young, and after going downhill for a long time, she finally got out of the mountain with
Frey and came out onto the street.

But…

“Hey, this is…”

Seeing the Imperial newspapers scattered on the street, she had no choice but to freeze while holding
him.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that ‘Fray Raon Starlight’, known as the prime suspect in the case,
is currently resting in his dormitory after the aftereffects of the ‘People’s dormitory raid incident’
recurred.
The newspaper reported that Frey, whom he is now holding, was identified as the prime suspect in the
‘Sacred Undead Knight Incident’, but was soon found resting in the dormitory and was freed.

‘…Has Kaniana Serena done something?’

Irina, puzzled by the contents for a moment, immediately assumed that one of the two, Kania and Serena,
who was apparently helping him secretly, made an alibi, and then began to read the newspaper.

The ‘Sun God Church’ is officially protesting Saint Ferroche and the 3rd Princess, who gave false
testimony, but the Saint and the 3rd Princess also announced that they would expose the Church’s
secrets, causing a big stir…

“…Ugh.”

But after that, when the political story she hated the most came out, Irina, who closed the newspaper with
a frown on her face, looked at Frey in her arms and fell in thought.

‘After all… I can’t stand out from people’s eyes right now, right?’

Although we have not yet figured out why the fuck Frey did this or what his purpose was, it is
undoubtedly true that he saved the lives of countless children and the lives of Ferroche today.

So, Irina, who had decided to hide him for once, climbed the mountain again and returned to the ‘secret
base’, the most familiar space for her.

“Ugh…”

Irina, who was watching the setting sun, cautiously approached Frey, who was lying on the bed, when he
started moaning.

“This… I need treatment…”

Convinced that his wounds and physical condition were getting serious, she began to rummage through
the backpack she had been wearing until then.

“…Sigh.”

But because of her poor household, there was only one healing potion in her bag, so she bowed her head
and sighed.

“Ugh…”

“…drink.”

After cursing her poverty for a while, Irina began pouring the potion into Frey’s mouth.

“Eww…”

Then, perhaps because of her mood, Frey’s expression softened slightly.

‘This is not enough…’

However, as the amount was not enough to treat him in a serious condition, Frey’s expression changed
painfully again soon after.

“…I guess I’ll have to look for some herbs.”

. . . . .

“Frey, come to your senses.”

“Ha… ha…”

She knew the geography of the mountain well, so Irina picked up effective medicinal herbs within a few
minutes, but she encountered an unexpected difficulty.

“Damn, I can’t eat herbs like this.”

Because the potion was liquid, he could somehow pass it on, but the herb was because there was no way
to feed him as long as he was unconscious.

If you force it into your mouth, your airway may be blocked, and even if you cut it into small pieces, chew
it thoroughly and eat it.
“Whoa…”

In the end, Irina sighed and sat on the bed where Frey was lying, looking down at his cold sweaty face,
and then quietly opened her mouth.

“You… what are you thinking?”

Frey, who he wanted to kill like crazy until a few months ago, is grunting in front of his eyes.

If he shoots even the slightest amount of mana into his heart, if he strangles him for a moment… No, he
doesn’t have to, and if he just leaves him like this, Frey will die.

And, no one will criticize it.

Even under the current circumstances, he is the greatest idiot of the Empire, a heinous figure who has
committed various crimes, and the greatest villain in the history of the Empire who will end the Empire in
the future.

But…

“…we haven’t uncovered the truth yet.”

Perhaps all the premises may be shaken.

As long as he has approached the secret of doing evil from the front and doing good deeds from the back,
giving up like this is a shame for Irina.

After thinking like that, Irina made a decision and put the herb she was holding in her mouth and began to
chew it.

“Suck…”

Irina, who had been chewing herbs for a long time, hesitated for a moment before kissing Frey.

“Hbh…”

After a while, she shoved all the herbs into Frey’s mouth and started repeating the action for a while.

“Fuha…”

Irina chewed all the herbs she had brought and gave it away, wiping her lips and starting to look at Frey’s
condition.

As if her efforts had paid off, Frey’s complexion was relieved, and the blood from the wound had stopped.

‘Did this work so well?’

Irina, who watched the scene, turned around and started heading towards the entrance to gather more
herbs and feed it to Frey.

“Cool! Cool!”

“What, what?”

But at that moment, Frey suddenly started to tremble with bloodshed, and Irina hurriedly ran to him and
started checking his condition.

“Hey, Irina…?”

“…..!”

However, Irina, who ran into Frey with her eyes narrowed, froze in embarrassment.

“Here… where are you…?”

“Uh, that’s… so…”

Frey, who asked Irina a question in a fading voice, rolled her eyes as she stuttered and began to look
around.

“What… Another dream?”

Eventually he found out where he was, and muttered in a frustrated voice.

“These days, after a battle, I always have a dream like this… Yeah, what kind of memory do I have this
time…”

“You… do you know where this is?”

I wanted to tell Frey to lie down without talking to him, but Irina was suddenly asking him a question.

“Of course you know… It’s our secret base…”

“Did you remember that?”

“Once upon a time, we caught fish here… we dug traps… we played in the water… but now it’s all
memories…”

Frey, who faced Irina’s question with a vague expression on her face, soon bled once more and started
muttering.

“But you…why are you an adult? And where’s the cat doll?”

“What?”

“And… it’s a dream, but why are you so sleepy…”

Frey, who continued to speak with such a difficult voice, soon closed her eyes again and lost
consciousness.

“Sigh…”

When the image of Frey, whom she liked when she was young, who was talking about the secret base with
an innocent and kind face, started to flicker in front of her eyes, Irina said with a determined expression.

“Well, it can’t be like this.”

After saying those words, Irina went out to gather herbs to feed him, stopped for a moment, and added a
word.

“I’m going to find out all the truth tomorrow.”

. . . . .

“Student Irina, where have you been and are you returning now?”

“…sorry.”

Late in the morning, Irina bowed her head and apologized to the manager at the academy’s gate, and then
quietly entered the academy.

‘Fray… he’ll be fine.’

The secret base in the forest is affixed with the impenetrable magic that Irina put on when she was young,
so no one can enter except her and Frey.

And as a result of feeding 5 more herbs, Frey has recovered considerably enough to regain consciousness
tomorrow morning.

So Irina, who decided that it was her turn to take advantage of this opportunity, started heading towards
the noble dormitory at a quick pace.

“Wait a minute, commoners can’t enter aristocratic dormitories…”

“You know.”

“Ah…”

Eventually, she was blocked by the maid at the entrance, and she spoke lowly with a shameful expression
on her face.

‘Does Frey not care about his rumors?’

Irina, who was passing by such a maid and headed to Frey’s room, began to ponder the question that
suddenly came to her mind.

‘If it was his power, he would have been able to suppress the rumors.’
Rumors of evil people are quite common in the Empire, but in recent years, Frey has been a true public
enemy.

According to the information gained on his way to the academy, although Frey’s innocence has been
proven in this case, many still believe he is the culprit.

‘Are you doing something terribly evil so that rumors circulate? But why? Why do you need to?’

Irina, who was immersed in her troubles that would never end again, began to knock quietly when she
saw Frey’s room.

“This is Irina. I’m here to serve.”

However, there was no sound in the room.

“Please open it, I said that if you don’t serve today, you will be cursed with death.”

Irina frowned and tried to lie, but the door still did not open, and she sighed for a moment, then sat down
in the hallway and began to sob loudly.

“You… what’s going on?”

Then, the maid chief, who was managing the noble dormitory, hurriedly approached her and began to take
offense.

“Then, what are you going to do if the nobles wake up! Then you and I are dead…”

“Ha, but…! If I don’t serve Frey today, I’m dead!”

Irina, who cried out to her with a face full of fear, grabbed the maid’s leg and began to beg.

“Bu, please! The maid’s blind…! I don’t want to die! How… How have I endured this terrible life…! It’s
just too unfair to die because I can’t serve…!”

“Sigh…”

The maid was also quick to hear the rumors about the academy, so when she saw her desperate
expression on her face, she began to look hesitant.

Irina began to pray even more earnestly because she knew that she was a hidden ancestor who died while
taking the lead in helping commoners escape from the academy during the previous invasion of the
academy.

“Do, please help… I’m begging you… I want to live. I don’t want to die like this. So please…”

“I’ll check it out in a moment.”

“Yes, yes?”

Then the maid, who started groping Irina’s body, quietly looked at her and said,

“There are no weapons.”

“Everyone, of course! If you did such a thing…!”

“Okay, go in. You’re mana exhausted, so I’m letting you in specially.”

Having said that, the maid carefully handed her the key and whispered.

“…you’re going to die soon anyway, so don’t ruin your life by killing yourself.”

After saying those words, the maid Chang hastily disappeared into the darkness.

“…gulp.”

Irina watched the scene for a moment, then opened the door with the key and carefully entered the room.

“You wake up.”

After a while, Irina muttered coldly to the person who saw Frey lying on the bed, but when he did not get
up, she started shaking.

“I don’t know who it is, but wake up, I want to know the truth.”
“Ummm…”

“Wake up! Right now!! Get up!!”

But nonetheless, the fake Frey remained silent.

“Damn, what? Was it a doll, not a human?”

Irina, who was going to hear the truth in return for telling the person who was disguised as Frey all about
the incident, and then where Frey is, began to panic when the fake Frey didn’t even move.

Cook

“It’s strange, it feels like real skin… and even has a heartbeat.”

The moment Irina, who was doing the investigation by stabbing the fake Frey, inadvertently pressed her
belly down…

“Hey… meow!”

Suddenly, a strange sound was heard from somewhere.

“What, what? Are you talking about the cat doll?”

Irina, who was terrified and left her seat, found the cat doll by his bedside, picked it up, and began to tilt
her head.

“Hey, hey…!”

“Why is he screaming at the fake Frey?”

Irina, realizing that the cat doll makes a cry when pressing on the fake Frey’s stomach, frowns for a
moment and then suddenly realizes that the cat doll’s mouth is swollen.

“Aha… it was like that…”

“Ah, ah, ah… ahh!”

After that, Irina opened the cat doll’s mouth and muttered with a smile on her conversion.

“…this, hopefully, can be applied?”

. . . . .

“Ugh…”

As morning came, Frey, who had been unconscious for a while, moaned and tossed and turned before
opening his eyes.

“Master, are you awake?”

“Kah, Kania?”

Then Kania, who was in front of her, bowed her head and said hello, and Frey, who was staring blankly at
her, immediately smiled broadly and asked a question.

“Were you the one who saved me?”

Then, Kania bowed her head and answered.

“Yes, Master.”

“Ha… I’m so glad… I thought I was going to die if I hit Hamata. What?”

Frey then began to thank Kania with a relieved expression on her face, and Kania looked at him and
muttered quietly to herself.

‘…Okay, I got it.’

And, there was an empty bottle in her pocket.

EPISODE 54

“Cool, cool!”
Frey, who was looking at Kania in front of him with a happy expression, suddenly covered his mouth and
started coughing.

“I’m sorry, are you okay?”

Before long, a large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth, and Kania saw it and approached him
cautiously with a bewildered expression on her face.

“Why are you so surprised by the new thing, you’re always living with something sweet.”

Frey grinned at her overreaction, waved her hand to block her approach, and pulled something out of her
pocket.

“that…”

“Hey, it seems that the duration of the self-cleaning magic has passed.”

After wiping the blood from his lips, Frey frowned when the stain on the handkerchief could not be
removed, and then held out the handkerchief to Kania and said:

“Kania, could you give me some self-cleaning magic again?”

“Oh, that’s… I’m sorry, Master.”

Then Kania flinched for a moment, then crouched down and started talking.

“I used up all my energy to keep the master there and hide it without anyone knowing. I’m really sorry.”

“Yeah, that’s right… I didn’t feel the black magic for some reason. But where is this place?”

Frey, who put the handkerchief in his pocket with an expression of embarrassment at those words,
immediately looked around and asked a question with a vague expression on his face.

“Ah… That’s the hiding place I prepared for you in advance.”

“After all, you are the best henchman.”

Hearing this, Frey smiled brightly and gave praise, and Kania carefully bowed her head in return and
started talking.

“Master, you must hide here sooner or later.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Look at this.”

Frey, who was reading the newspaper from Kania, laughed and muttered.

“Yeah, Pope… you’re trying to protect me somehow.”

“The Pope?”

“Yeah, the Pope is actually the devil’s fanatic. Isn’t that funny?”

Hearing that, Kania’s expression hardened.

“Oh, haven’t I told you about this yet? Well… It’s a fact that only I know of those who have gone through
the previous episode…”

“The last time… you mean?”

“Yeah, only the highest-ranking executives and the Demon King knew that the Pope was on the side of the
Demon King in the previous session. Of course, I knew it because I read the Prophets.”

Eventually, when the story of ‘The Last Round’ and ‘The Prophecy’ came out, Kania looked at Frey with
confused eyes for a moment, then hurriedly returned her expression to her original state.

“Are you okay, Kania? Are you sick?”

Then Frey asked Kania a question with a worried expression.

“Now you… Are you worried about me?”

After hearing that, Kania responded to Frey with a puzzled expression on her face, sighing and taking
something out of her bag.

“What is it?”

“…a medicinal herb.”

Saying that, Kania, who had unintentionally brought the herb to her mouth, stopped moving and blushed.

“Chew it thoroughly. It’s good for your body.”

“Uh, uh… Thank you?”

Then she turned and handed the herb to Frey, who accepted it without hesitation, slightly bewildered at
the sudden appearance of the herb.

“Looking at the herbs I bought instead of potions, I guess it’s a pretty effective herb?”

“Uh… it will.”

“Ummm… It’s a bit bitter, but it’s edible.”

Frey, who had been chewing on herbs for a while, staggered and started to get up.

“No, Master. Now is the time to rest.”

Then Kania hurriedly ran and put him back on the bed, and Frey, who was lying on the bed, breathing
heavily, suddenly looked around and started muttering.

“It’s strange… I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere…”

“Yes?”

“By any chance, isn’t there any furniture here? If there’s something odd about furniture…”

“There was no furniture here from the beginning. It was completely empty.”

Then, as Frey frowned and began to ask questions, Kania, who had glanced at the exit with a nervous
expression on her face, hurriedly cut off his words and asked the question back before Frey could even
say anything.

“Aren’t you hungry by any chance? Master?”

“Yes?”

“You must eat to recover your stamina. So, I’ll get you something to eat.”

Saying that, Kania made a serious expression on her face, and Frey said with a smirk.

“I see you nagging me to eat, so Kania is right.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Well, even if you refuse anyway, I’m sure I’ll get it and feed it… I’ll eat it thanks to you. Thank you.”

“Then, please wait here for a while. And, since the current master’s physical condition is the worst, please
do not move at all.”

At that, Frey nodded hard and smiled, and Kania, who looked at him shyly, headed for the exit of the
secret base.

“…if I did, I almost got caught. When the hell did you remember that?”

After she came out, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead and muttering, furniture with memories from
the secret base was neatly stacked around her.

. . . . .

“Uh… Kania? What’s all this?”

“I will eat, Master.”

Frey muttered as she looked at the food that Kania had saved with a blank expression on her face.

“Um… I mean, it’s pretty wild, isn’t it?”

This is because the food that Kania had obtained were hares, fish, berries, and sparrows.

“I can’t help it. There’s a very high chance that I’m also being watched, so now that I can’t use stealth, I
have no choice but to eat these foods…”

She didn’t have any money, so she began to look at Frey’s complexion with all sorts of excuses.

It was because he was worried that Frey, who is reputed to have a picky taste and only eats high-quality
dishes, might turn around.

“Haha… It’s okay! It reminds me of the old days and it’s good.”

But Frey, who continued to stare blankly at the food, said with a childlike smile.

“…a long time ago?”

“That’s right… When I was young, Irina and I went to the mountains near our house and built a secret
base, didn’t I? At that time, Irina used to catch these things.”

Frey, who was talking while looking at the food that Kania had caught with dim eyes, quickly smiled.

“When Irina first got these kinds of food, she asked how she eats these and was confused.”

“It was… it was.”

“Yeah, thanks to you, I got pissed off and didn’t talk for a while, and then I secretly took a bite of what
Irina was grilling… Really delicious, isn’t it?”

“Are you secretly?”

“Yeah, of course, I got a honey night because I got caught not too long ago. Since then, Irina has eaten
anything that Irina has caught.”

Frey, who had been talking about memories with a pleasant expression on his face for a while, finished his
speech with a bitter smile.

“Anyway, let’s take this opportunity to try some memorable food.”

“I will do my best to prepare.”

Hearing this, Kania began to reach out for the food she had prepared with a serious expression on her
face.

“But how the hell did you get it?”

“…Yes?”

However, Frey, who was looking at her shyly, asked a question with a look full of curiosity.

“No, I remember that you were pretty weak at this point… It’s amazing that you caught a hare and a
sparrow.”

“I’ve been living on the streets for quite some time… I know a lot about these skills.”

“Ah… well, that’s right.”

Kania, who was sweating in a cold sweat at those words, passed over Frey’s words, gathered pieces of
wood, and started preparing to start a fire.

“Oh… Irina used to do it often.”

Frey then began to look at Kania with anticipation, while Kania, who heard Irina’s name again, began
rubbing a piece of wood with a calm expression.

Whoops!

“How the hell do you do that?

“You can use the heat of friction.”

“I know that… Maybe I don’t have a knack for it, I never had any success when I was young. Irina did it
like a meal.”
Of course, the fire was ignited not by frictional heat, but by the tiny sparks from his fingertips, and there
was no way for him to succeed in mimicking the foolish embers that Frey had shown him to show off, but
she tried to ignore those facts. Started to light a fire.

“Now we just have to wait.”

“It’s good… It’s like when I was a kid, I feel like I went to the mountain next to my house with Irina.”

Frey, who had described the current situation fairly accurately, started coughing again after watching the
fish, hares and sparrows simmering in the fire for a while.

“Cool! Cool! Uh…”

“Are you really okay? Master?”

“Um… well, can I tell you?”

Hearing this, Frey started talking with a smile.

“Actually, it’s not okay at all.”

“Yes?”

“If we go on like this… are you going to last for two years?”

Hearing those words, Kania began to open her mouth.

“It’s surprising… you knew that too, didn’t you?”

“Uh, that’s…”

“Yeah, come to think of it, I didn’t have the life meter I had in my bag… Do you have it? Take it out.”

After Frey said that, Kania, who had a stupid expression on her face for a moment, made a hopeful
expression and pulled something out of her arms with trembling hands.

“Oh, there it is. Life gauge.”

“The date written here…”

“How many days is it written?”

When Frey asked with a grin, Kania answered in a low voice.

“…The date is written two years and six months from now.”

“After all, looking at that, life expectancy seems to be cut in half.”

Even when he heard that he was going to die, Frey muttered in a calm voice.

“Your lifespan is cut in half?”

“Um… I’ve been giving you life since I was little, so when I entered the academy, I had 10 years of life left,
right?”

“Kania… no, give me the vitality…”

Kania, who was about to ask something with her eyes wide open at the words of sharing her vitality since
she was a child, looked at Frey for a moment and then shut her mouth firmly.

“When I first found out about you, the remaining lifespan shown on the life tester was 5 years. Since then,
I’ve been predicting. Every time I get a penalty, my lifespan is cut in half.”

“…Yes?”

“And out of the normal stack and the special stack I received this time, the special stack doesn’t affect the
lifespan… One normal stack is applied, and the lifespan is cut in half.”

Hearing those words, Kania’s face began to turn blue.

“By the way, who the hell did you find out this time? First of all, I don’t know about the special stack, so
aside from that… Who do you think is the most likely to have noticed?”

“Uh, that’s…”
“Actually, you said you didn’t know either. Haha… This is a real problem. There are a few people who are
suspicious, but I asked if they noticed that, and if it’s not that person, you’re out of luck, right?”

After finishing those words, Frey began to croak again, and Kania, who looked at him blankly, asked a
question again.

“Oh, what if… you find someone who noticed?”

“Well… I feel like I’d like to explain everything to make it on my side, and then you’re not the only one
who will fall into guilt.”

After saying that, Frey sighed for a moment, and then started talking in a stuffy voice.

“Even though I did the evil thing in the previous episode to get a ‘system’ to kill the Demon King… But
that’s actually something that can’t be rationalized.”

“Ah…”

“From the standpoint of someone who doesn’t know anything, I’m just a criminal who has committed evil
deeds, and the five ‘main heroines’ who have their memories back deserve to hate me. But, the problem is
that everyone has a very kind heart. second…”

Frey, who had been confiding in her worries, suddenly saw Kania’s expression and stopped talking and
smiled bitterly.

“Look, it’s been a while since I’ve known everything, and you’re making that kind of expression right
now… What about the other kids?”

“Uh, uh…”

“Should we stop talking about this now? It looks like the meat is already grilled.”

With that said, Frey tried to turn the story around, but Kania, who quickly put a fish skewer in his hand,
said in a low voice.

“…No, please continue.”

“Yeah, actually, you’re the only one I can confide with… I’m sorry, but please hang out with me a little
more.”

Upon hearing this, Kania nodded, and Frey narrowed her eyes and continued the story.

“To continue the story, no matter how much evil I have done for a cause… the mental and physical pain
suffered by heroines, including you, will never go away.”

“Yes…”

“But, in fact, if you explain that all of that was something you had to do to gain the transcendent power to
save the world, and if you ask for your cooperation because you have to continue committing evil in order
to defeat the Demon King, the damage and pain you’ve suffered so far What do they do with those who
still remember it?”

“that…”

“When I first regressed, I honestly thought that when everything was over, I would just have to reveal that
I was the villain. But, I thought that everyone would suffer too much…”

Frey, who had said that, continued the story, pointing to Kania, who had failed to control her expression
again.

“You already know the truth, and you are suffering so much.”

“……””

“There is absolutely no justification for harming you to save the world. So, you can stop suffering.”

“But… you, no… the lifespan of the master…”

“Ah, my life is still fine. The Academy invasion is in two years and six months anyway…”

“That’s not it…”

Kania, who continued to stutter with a soulless expression on her face, finally came to her senses and
asked a question.

“What are the exact conditions for that… ‘get caught’?”

“Um… the moment someone is ‘confirmed’ that I have done something ‘violent’, the penalty is applied.”

“Then, two months ago…”

“Yeah, like you said, around that time someone was ‘confirmed’ of my vice. That’s why I cut blood.”

Having said that, Frey started coughing again, sighing and continuing what she had just said.

“Anyway, for all those reasons… I don’t know what to say if I could find out who noticed.”

“…okay.”

“Ha… By the way, that’s a big deal. The ordeal will come again in a little while.”

“Trial?”

“Yeah, it’s a terrible curse that you don’t know who gave it to you. Fortunately, you don’t receive it all at
once, but you can receive it slowly, step-by-step… Cool! Cool! Okay. Let’s continue this story a little later.”

As Kania continued to fail to control her expression, Frey quickly ended the story and started talking
about the fish skewer she was holding.

“By the way, this is really delicious… I’m sorry Irina, but it’s several times more delicious than the yakitori
she used to cook in the past.”

“…it’s because of the accumulated experience.”

“Well, is it? You’re good at cooking in the first place…”

‘I’ve been here alone for years… I’ve been grilling myself, so I can’t help but improve.’

She muttered inwardly as she struggled to say what she wanted to say to him, who was smiling brightly as
he talked.

“Do you know what this is?”

“Yeah, ‘Bingryong’, right?”

“Bingryong…”

“Yeah, Irina did… A long time ago, there is a legend that the fish that ate this fruit was so cool and
delicious that she became Bingryong and ascended to heaven. That’s why it’s called ‘Bingryong’. Isn’t it
funny?”

Eventually, as she looked at Frey, who still believed in the words she had made up when she was young,
and spoke with a pure face, she quickly closed her eyes and said:

“…I’ll go to the bathroom for a while.”

“Oh, yes. Let’s go.”

As Frey nodded, Kania with a firm expression headed towards the base’s exit.

“Ugh…”

After coming out of the secret base, Irina, who had been pretending to be Kania until then, leaned against
the tree next to her and began to moan.

“Oh, it hurts…”

It was because her stomach and chest started to hurt as if they were being squeezed tight.

“…this is a side effect of the transformation potion. It must be.”

Having attributed the sudden anomaly to the potion, she began to organize all the facts she had heard
from Frey.

“…fuck it.”
And, roughly summarizing all the words he said in her head, his actions in the previous episode, and his
actions in this episode, Irina briefly spit out cursing.

“So, so what do you do when you see me…”

Then she began to mumble with confusion in her eyes.

“Yeah… you’re right… I don’t have to feel guilty… They said I was in pain… Now that they said it was all
for the world… I can’t accept that right away… .”

She was a magician of flames that burned everything, but her heart, which had become cold thanks to the
continuous battle with the Demon King and the deaths of her colleagues, was judging the situation calmly.

Frey, who is now dying at the base, has only chosen that path himself.

Due to his ‘special ability’, he was forced to commit evil deeds, but that was also a serious mistake, so we
can’t rationalize it.

Even if the world perishes if he doesn’t do that, even if the demon lord burns everything down, what he
did…

‘…can’t you really justify it?’

Irina was about to think of something else for a moment, but she shook her head violently and began to
shake it off.

“Ha… ha ha…”

It was Irina who barely managed to shake off her sleep, but nevertheless, her heart was still troubled.

“Because I noticed… your lifespan was cut off? Half?”

As Frey said, you don’t have to feel guilty at all, but for some reason, I keep getting mad.

“Then, the oath of death… to give me mana?”

When he collapsed while overworked at the performance evaluation center, Frey’s bewildered expression
suddenly began to vividly come to mind.

“I wonder if the freshman reception…?”

Irina, who had gone crazy with her thoughts, suddenly opened her eyes and began to mumble in a serious
voice.

“Wait, then… How did you avoid the ‘12 o’clock curse’?”

At first, I thought that the Demon King had intervened and protected Frey.

However, according to the facts revealed today, he is rather in a position to oppose the Demon King.

If so… How did he avoid the dreadful curse of ‘the 12 o’clock’?

‘I hope… I hope…!’

After thinking for a moment, Irina realized one terrifying possibility.

It is the only way to avoid the most vicious curse, the ‘12 O’clock Curse’, and the possibility that Frey
performed the most terrible Haeju method out of all the Haeju methods that exist in the world.

“No… I can’t… I can’t…”

Of course, there were only a few people from all over the continent, including Irina, who knew how to do
it, so she began to deny it, but remembering that Frey already knew the trick of the ‘Sacrifice Magic
Circle’, which only her knew, he remembered how he did it until now. I started thinking about the words
again.

“Before… I definitely said it was an ordeal…”

Before long, as she recalled the meaningful remarks Frey had made earlier, her face began to turn pale.

“Not all at once… Slowly, step by step…”

Irina, who had been repeating her words helplessly, hurriedly ran into the secret base where Frey was.
“Do, Master! Perhaps that ordeal was…!”

As soon as she saw Frey, Irina hurriedly tried to ask him about the ‘trial’, but…

“Uh, Mom…!”

“…..!”

Frey, who couldn’t even get up from her seat because of the pain, got up from her seat, trembling, and
started laughing brightly and talking nonsense, and she froze on the spot.

“Even though it’s a fantasy caused by trials… It’s nice to see you again like this… haha…”

“Oh, no…”

After that, Frey smiled brightly, took her hand and shook hands, and Irina, who looked at him with a
bluish face, began to whisper in a voice that lost her soul.

“Really… did you use that Haeju method?”

“I’m doing well, of course I’m getting along well with my younger brother. My father is a little ill, but I
must…”

However, in front of him, Frey just smiled brightly and continued to shake hands.

EPISODE 55

“F, Frey… Calm down…”

“Oh, are you leaving already? Then… see you later.”

Irina, who couldn’t see Frey, who had been holding her hand for a long time and talking brightly, let go of
his hand and stepped back, and he started waving her hand with a regretful expression.

“…Well?”

After a moment’s hesitation, Frey noticed Irina standing in front of him and said with an apologetic
expression.

“Ah, Kania… I’m sorry. Ordeal made you look like my mother. What?”

Frey smiled and talked as if it was nothing special, but Irina just stared blankly at him.

“Hey, you don’t need to worry? Rather, it was nice to see you after a long time. It seems that you have
recovered a little mentally. The first ordeal doesn’t do any harm to me.”

Then Frey, thinking that Kania in front of him was overly concerned, as usual, said in a calm voice to
reassure her.

‘The first thing… You really did use that Haeju method…’

But then Irina, with a bluish face, was thinking about the effect of the curse she had cast to kill Frey.

The ‘12 o’clock curse’ that Irina put on Frey in exchange for a year of mana exhaustion on the first day of
her return is one of the most terrible curses in the world.

The person who is the target of the curse will feel all kinds of pain that can be felt in the world for 24
hours, starting at 12:00 that day, and then die.

However, that does not mean that there is no way to heal the curse.

Only a few know how to do it, and after feeling all the pain of the curse for 24 hours, destroy the nearby
clock one minute before 12 o’clock the next day.

Compared to the 12 o’clock curse and other terrifying curses located on the same level, it is a fairly easy
and frustrating way to heal, but in reality, it is not at all.

First of all, the pain experienced for 24 hours due to the 12 o’clock curse is one of those things that can
lead to death, so it is almost impossible to endure it with a bare mind for a day.

The longest lasting record in the literature was only 6 hours, so it was all over.

And, even if you somehow persevere and break the clock, it’s not the end of everything.
The moment you break the clock, you will slowly share the pain you’ve suffered so far until you die.

Of course, most people would choose death rather than the choice of constantly suffering the pain they
have suffered all day until they die…

“In just a few more days, the first ordeal will be over. So don’t worry…”

A person who has a reason not to die, such as a destiny to protect the world from the Demon King, will
have no choice but to choose the latter by crying and eating mustard.

“Kania, you’re a little weird today. Are you really okay?”

“Oh, yes… it’s fine.”

Irina continued to think about the curse she had placed, but when Frey asked her with a worried
expression on her face, she finally came to her senses and answered.

“Come on, eat this.”

“…Yes?”

“It’s because your face looks pale. If you fall in a difficult situation, you’re in a lot of trouble.”

Then Frey, who looked at her shyly, quietly offered her a skewer of fish.

“Anyway, I don’t care if I just kill the Demon King, so your health is more important, so don’t hesitate to
eat.”

“……Yes.”

When Irina hesitated, Frey said with a stern expression, waving the fish skewer, and in the end Irina had
no choice but to grab the skewer with trembling hands.

“By the way, what about the future? According to the newspaper I read earlier… I am in my dormitory at
Sunrise Academy.”

Eventually, as Irina began to eat the fish slowly, Frey, who looked at her happily, sighed and began to
mutter.

“You’ll need your stealth skills to sneak back to the dormitory… When do you think your black magic will
recover?”

“Uh… it’s going to take another day or so.”

“Um, okay? Then, it’s just like recuperating, one more day.”

In response to Irina’s words, Frey nodded and began to mutter while lying flat on the bed.

“By the way, Kania, what happened to the ‘Scroll Merchant’ that I ordered last time?”

“Scroll… you mean the merchant?”

When Irina asked a question in response to the word scroll, Frey began to speak with sharp eyes.

“Yeah, the ‘owner’ who was the real culprit in the last ‘performance evaluation case’.”

“Oh, yes… We’re investigating.”

“Be sure to catch it. It feels strange for some reason.”

After saying that, Frey lay down on the bed snoring, and Irina, who looked at him like that, said in a low
voice.

“Then, I’ll go outside for a while. Master, please wait here.”

“Yes, thank you, Kania.”

After speaking with Frey, Irina stumbled out of the secret base.

“Sigh…”

Irina, who had been walking alone in the forest for a long time, collapsed when she arrived at the river.

“I… I…”
Then, staring blankly at the fish passing by her feet, Irina began to mumble in a soulless voice.

“I just… just wanted to make things right…”

When I first returned, I thought that this was the mission God gave me.

This is the mission that God gave because he took pity on himself for not being able to protect his friends,
the empire, and killing the demon king.

So, without hesitation, he cast the most terrible curse he knew on Frey, who was as evil as the Demon
King in the previous episode.

However, Frey was actually a hero who did his best to protect everyone.

And because of the curse that I put on him, it is not enough that he has experienced an unforgettable,
terrible pain in his life, so he has to feel that pain again during his short lifespan because of me.

“Sigh…”

Such thoughts kept coming to her mind and seemed to prick her heart, so she clenched her teeth and bit
her nails, then immersed her face in the flowing river for a moment.

“…puha.”

It was an action that was made with the intention of regaining his composure by cooling his head in the
cold river water, but instead of cooling his heart, it started to become more complicated.

Just like pouring water on a flaming fire doesn’t cool it down, it turns it off without a pulse.

‘Once upon a time… I played with Frey here…’

In Irina’s eyes, who had lost their vitality, memories with Frey began to glimmer.

“Irina… Why isn’t there a fish on my fishing rod?”

“You idiot, you didn’t take the bait.”

After hours of fishing with no bait and full of anticipation, Frey cried and asked himself why, when he
couldn’t catch a single fish until evening came.

“Afu! Abbey! Ma, magic is a foul…!”

Frey, who said that he was confident in playing in the water, rushed forward with curiosity, then turned
back over and over again due to his water attribute magic, and quarreled with a resentful expression
when he drank water.

“Wow… it’s delicious… But why is it delicious?”

“…a compliment or a curse?”

Frey mumbled innocently with his eyes twinkling after taking a bite of salted grilled fish.

and…

“I’m not going to eat this kind of thing anymore… So, eat your heart out.”

One day, when he forcibly dragged him and offered him grilled fish, Frey spoke coldly and trampled on the
grilled fish mercilessly.

“At the time… I thought it was just a momentary change from the shock of my mother’s death…”

And I was grilling fish by myself, thinking that it was just because I was shocked for a while, that one day
we would laugh and play together again.

“Ugh…”

In order to somehow appease her heart, which was getting more and more depressed the more she
thought about it, Irina started walking out of the river full of memories.

But…

“…fuck it.”
Wherever she went, it was a place full of memories she had with Frey, so Irina eventually stopped and sat
on the floor.

“From now on… what should I do?”

Now, by drinking the finest transformation potion in Frey’s room, you can use Kania’s disguise as a mask
to stand in front of him.

However, sooner or later she will have to stand in front of Frey as she is.

I don’t know how to react at that time… what to say… No, was it right to pretend to know in the first
place…

‘…I do not know.’

Irina has lived her life with the motto of finding an answer unconditionally when she has a question, but
she was unable to fulfill that motto today.

It was because the confusion and chaos caused by the entanglement of self-rationalization and guilt was
shaking her heart.

As always, Irina, who had been squatting, refusing to make the first judgment instead of looking for an
answer, suddenly frowned and raised her head.

“…What?”

From the forest in front, a strange magical energy was flowing out.

It was a meager amount of magic that an ordinary person would never be able to detect, but Irina, whose
mana sensitivity had risen to the limit, could feel the magic in quite detail.

“This dark and incoherent feeling… it’s black magic…”

Irina, who felt the magic for a long time, found out that it was black magic, looked around with a nervous
expression, and murmured.

‘…Is Kania here?’

Irina, not yet ready to make contact with Frey or his allies, swallowed a saliva and stood up.

‘…what?’

Irina, who had stretched out her arms and felt the magical energy in a little more detail, soon frowned and
began to tilt her head.

‘Isn’t it Kania?’

When warlocks unleash black magic, it spreads irregularly in all directions unless intended.

However, the black magic that she feels right now is… flowing like a single flow.

As if to guide you somewhere.

“…gulp.”

With that thought in mind, Irina began to carefully move her steps to the place with black magic.

It was strange that she suddenly felt black magic in the ordinary mountain forest where she and Frey had
been playing long ago, but it was because what Frey said earlier caught my heart.

‘Obviously… I said that the real culprit in the performance evaluation was the scroll merchant.’

Until now, I had thought that Frey was the culprit in the ‘performance evaluation kidnapping case’.

However, now that he realizes the truth about Frey, he can only think of him as an innocent victim.

Of course, there’s no way that Arianne was the culprit… The culprit must be Arianne, who has very good
magical knowledge, and a scroll merchant who created a scroll that deceived her.

And it is clear that such an unidentified merchant has some purpose.

The last thing I was faced with in the last incident was a terrifying entity called the Dark Golem who drove
the Sunrise Academy into a state of disrepair.
So, there must be some reason for being sent here.

“Whoa…”

After thinking like that, Irina quietly headed towards the black magic and stopped walking abruptly.

‘…Dangerous.’

It is essential to focus on something in order to somehow turn the troubled mind that is tormenting you
right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take the risk.

If there is a dangerous existence such as a ‘Dark Golem’ here, not only you but also Frey will be in danger.

‘For now… For now, it’s a retreat…’

Eventually, Irina gave up chasing the energy and began to return to the secret base.

Kurreung!!

Just as we arrived near the secret base, there was a sudden thunderstorm and it started to rain.

“…Ugh.”

Irina’s gloomy heart began to grow even more gloomy as it felt as if it was representing her current
feelings.

“Master, you were well…”

Of course, Irina rushed into the secret base and froze at the situation in front of her because she had no
intention of being drenched in the rain there.

“…where have you been?”

The bed Frey was lying on was empty.

Irina, who had been watching the scene frozen for a moment, ran out of the secret base with a pale and
tired face.

Kurreung! Kurung!!

“young master!!”

I cried urgently in the stormy weather, but her voice just returned as a meaningless echo.

“Fray!!”

Even after crying out Frey’s name sadly once again, only the echoes came back, so Irina began to look
around with an anxious expression.

But when the intensifying storm prevented visibility, Irina clenched her fists and began to mutter to
herself.

‘I’ll still be around… If it’s now, I can do it… If it’s now…’

Soon, a faint light began to flow from her hand.

It was Irina’s trick, who, after experiencing mana exhaustion for several months, forcibly squeezed out the
mana deep inside her body.

“Ugh…!”

However, since it was forcibly twisting and squeezing the mana mixed little by little in the mana circuit
inside her body, serious pain began to haunt her.

‘At this level… No problem… There are many times that I burnt the mana circuit and cut it off… This is
it…’

Of course, it was Irina who had been injured by the mana circuit in the previous car, but squeezing the
mana circuit arbitrarily was too difficult for her, so her eyes were bloodshot and blood was flowing from
her mouth.

“Huh… haha…”
After squeezing out all the mana remaining in her body for a few minutes with one hand, she muttered,
blowing the sphere-shaped mana up into the sky.

“Fray… Find Raon Starlight… Find it.”

Then the spinning sphere began to scatter light and fly away.

Watching the light that had always given her victory in the hide and seek game with Frey as a child,
moving with little mana enough to revolutionize the color magic in the future, Irina began running with all
her might.

“Fray! Are you there!? Frey!!”

Irina, who was screaming so desperately and running to the place the sphere was leading, muttered,
hardening her expression at the sight that suddenly came into her sight.

‘Isn’t this… where I was before?’

Realizing that she had arrived again at the place where she had discovered black magic earlier, Irina saw
the sphere rapidly flying toward the place where she could feel the black magic, and started running with
a shocked expression on her face.

“Oh no! No!!”

Despite her earnest cry, the sphere continued to fly to the place where the energy of black magic was
flowing, and Irina watched it with fearful eyes and muttered to herself.

‘If… If Frey was attacked while I was away… If not, if Frey, who was suffering from illusions, headed
there…!’

Her hair was torn from the heavy rain and her clothes were damp, but Irina just ran and ran.

“Wow!”

Then Irina, who stumbled and rolled on the dirt floor, grabbed her sprained foot and groaned for a
moment before getting up, clenching her teeth.

“Fray!! Can you hear me!? Frey!!”

Irina, who was shuffling her injured foot and continuing to shout Frey’s name, stopped for a moment and
began to catch her breath as she came out of the overgrown trees.

“haha…”

Her arms and legs were all scratched and scarred, and her sprained feet throbbed.

The mana that was barely collected by squeezing out the mana circuit was only enough to use two
fireballs to use the improved red-colored magic.

However, despite such a desperate situation, Irina staggered and started heading towards the sphere.

‘…here?’

Dragging her sprained feet like that, she arrived at the entrance to a cave hidden in a dark place.

Shoo…

A sphere of light flies to the side of Irina, who is looking at the entrance to the dark cave, which is filled
with a shady energy.

“…Whoa.”

After seeing this, Irina, who was prepared, stretched out her arms straight in front of her so that she
could shoot a fireball at any time, and carefully began to enter the cave.

‘…It’s not Kania’s energy either.’

As she went inside and felt the evil aura more and more, Irina fell silently in her thoughts.

Even though she was a warlock, Kania, who had a good heart, could not emit such an evil energy. In other
words, the existence in front of this is not Kania, but an evil being.

Whether it’s a warlock hiding here or a monster… If it emits such a vicious energy, it must be quite
powerful.

‘Can I win?’

I had such a question for a while, but soon Irina shook her head to shake it off.

It is impossible to predict what will happen to Frey if he resigns from here.

So, we have to get him out of here by any means possible.

Only thinking about it for now.

Sharr…

With such a strong determination, she walked carefully, and as she saw the flying sphere melted away in
front of the stone door, she swallowed her saliva.

There is Frey in front of me. Maybe it’s already too late, or there’s Frey waiting eagerly for someone’s
help.

Opening this door will make it irreversible. You will be faced with Frey, who can’t be okay in any state.

Profit…

But what would happen to Frey if the door was not opened like this forever, Irina carefully opened the
door listening to her pounding heartbeat.

“…young master?”

Then, Frey’s back, standing still, came into her sight.

“Yes, Kania.”

And after a while, as Frey answered the question in a calm voice, Irina approached him with a slightly
relieved expression on her face.

“What the hell are you doing here…”

“Are you meddling with my fantasies again? Because I won’t.”

“Yes?”

Then, when Frey suddenly started making strange noises, she asked with a bewildered expression.

“For a while, my heart was frustrated, so I came out of the secret space… The forest that appeared in my
dream the other day, where Irina and I were chased by a werewolf, was realized as an illusion of ordeal?
came out.”

“That’s right…”

Irina faltered for a moment and put together what she had heard from Frey, then frowned and asked a
question.

“By the way, are you a werewolf?”

“Yeah. I don’t know, but from what I saw in my dream back then, Irina and I were chasing Werewolves. I
don’t know why there were Werewolves in such an ordinary forest…!”

Then Frey, who was answering her, suddenly grabbed her head and lost her balance and collapsed.

“Do, master?”

“Ugh… memories, memories…”

Embarrassed, Irina flew away and tried to catch Frey, but Frey, who was moaning, lost consciousness and
fell limp.

“Damn, what the hell is this…”

Profit…

Seeing him like that, Irina, who had a bewildered expression on her face, reached out her hand with a
puzzled expression when the stone door behind her suddenly opened.
“Kah, Kania?”

“…..!”

Eventually, after seeing the person behind him, he froze.

“…why are you here?”

Frey’s younger brother, Arya Raon, Starlight, was staring blankly at her, who had been devastated.

EPISODE 56

“Oh, brother?”

Arya, who was blankly looking at Irina disguised as Kania, soon found Frey in her arms and opened her
mouth in surprise.

“Kania… how the hell did this happen?”

Irina, who looked at Arya with a blank expression on her face, began to rotate her brain, which had
stopped in shock.

“Ah… That’s it. I was hiding the master here.”

“Hide…?”

“Yes, you don’t know. This is the case in the newspaper this time.”

Irina, who had no choice but to lie to protect Frey’s life, turned her gaze away from Arya’s twinkling eyes
and added more words.

“The master had some kind of relationship with that case. So, I hid in this mountain, one of the hiding
places… I happened to find a cave like this and came in.”

“…okay?”

After hearing that, Arya looked at Irina with a suspicious look for a moment and asked.

“By the way, why can’t I feel the black magic in you?”

“That’s… getting the master out of the case…”

“Then, were you really behind the incident?”

As Irina continued to avoid her gaze and spoke, Arya, who was biting her lip, muttered with a sad
expression on her face.

“Is the brother really behind the ‘Holy Undead Knight’ incident that shook up the empire?”

“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you anything.”

Of course, Irina knew the truth, but she had no choice but to ignore Arya’s question because if she said it,
Frey’s life would only be 1 year and 3 months.

Crazy…

Then, looking at Irina like that, Arya, who was grinding her teeth, immediately made a determined
expression and said:

“I don’t believe it.”

“Yes?”

“Obviously you and your brother are lying. I know.”

“Uh… that’s…”

“Like I said before, I’ll have to figure out the truth somehow. Somehow…”

Irina, frightened by those words, was contemplating whether to add more flesh to the lie, when Arya
bowed her head and muttered.

“…I need to find out, but I can’t help but get tired.”
“What do you mean?”

“To believe in you… to seek the truth… To be honest, I’m so tired now.”

Saying that, Arya, crouching in front of Irina, began to ask her with pleading eyes.

“Kania, tell me the truth. All the truth you know. I’m ready to bear the truth…”

“Nope.”

Irina, who kept avoiding her gaze, cut off Arya’s words and pushed her away.

“I’m just a master’s tool.”

Irina, who recalled the lines Kania had told her in the previous episode, imitated her as much as possible
at that time, and Arya began to stare at her quietly.

“Ugh… the head…”

At that moment of tension between the two of them, Frey, who was in Irina’s arms, groaned and opened
her eyes.

“…suck.”

And while smiling and trying to say something to Irina, Frey noticed Arya staring coldly at her and froze
for a moment.

Whoops, whoops.

Irina, worried that Frey would still regard the situation as a hallucination, hurriedly started writing the
following letters with her finger on Frey’s back.

real situation

After a while, Irina’s fingers stopped, and Frey, who was taking a deep breath, got up from her seat and
said with a firm expression.

“So, what’s going on here? Aria?”

“That’s… I’m going to have to ask.”

Frey and Arya’s eyes began to cross.

“Why are you here? Frey?”

“As I said before…”

“You must be quiet, Kania.”

When Arya asked a question with a frown, Irina hurriedly tried to interrupt the conversation, but Arya
shut her mouth and asked a question to Frey.

“Tell it with your own mouth. Why the hell did you come here?”

Then, while rolling her eyes for a moment, Frey, who had been grasping Irina’s face transformed into
Kania, Arya’s expression, and the situation so far, opened her mouth with a cold smile.

“He ran away.”

“…from what?”

“Well? What did you run away from?”

“Don’t turn around, go straight…”

When Arya questioned Frey in an angry voice, Frey, who was clasping her hands, suddenly started
choking Irina, who was next to her.

“Huh…!”

“By the way… Kania, did you just say ‘as I said before’?”

“Sin, sorry…!”
“I obviously told you not to tell anyone the truth… you useless bastard…”

Then Arya, who was watching the scene, hurriedly grabbed Frey’s arm and started shouting.

“Hey, stop it! Kania-san didn’t say anything! I just made my guided interrogation…!”

“…what? ‘Sister’?”

Hearing Arya’s cry, Frey said with a shocked expression on her face.

“Why is this poor bastard your sister? You’re a noble Starlight family, not just a wanderer in the streets.”

“Don’t say such disgusting things…”

“Well, looking at what he’s doing, it seems like a common man who somehow got into our family? He’ll be
a swordsman with magic later…”

“I’m not saying that!!!”

Arya, who eventually exploded when Frey’s remarks went too far, pushed Frey away with her hand full of
mana.

“…Ugh!”

Then, Frey, who had been strangling Irina until then, slammed into the wall and let out a short moan.

“You, you are not my brother! You are not my brother…!”

Meanwhile, Arya, who had exploded from the stress she had accumulated so far, began to approach him
with a bunch of star mana in her fists.

“Come on, wait a minute! Arya-sama!”

Seeing her like that, Irina, who didn’t feel any pain at all because Frey pretended to hold her tight,
hurriedly started screaming.

“Stop it! Then…!”

Kwagwagwang!!!

However, Arya slammed her fist into Frey’s face while gathering the mana of the stars in her hand, and
the wind blew stones and dust and covered them both. .

“You are not my brother…”

“Collock! Colloc!!”

Eventually, Irina’s sight came into view after breaking the dust: Arya with her fists in the wall right next to
Frey’s face in tears, and Frey who started coughing because of the stone dust and dust blown by the wind.

“So, you’ll never see me again…”

Arya, who was staring fiercely at Frey, shook her blood-stained hands and began to speak with anger, and
Frey began to look at her with anticipation for some reason…

“Cool! Cool!”

“…what?”

Frey, who had been coughing continuously, was bleeding from blood, and Arya’s clothes were stained with
blood, and silence began to flow between them for a moment.

“How did this happen?”

“Uhhh… Oh, nothing. This is just… Cool!!”

“brother!?”

Frey, who had been answering Arya with a carefree face, stumbled once again with bloodshed, and Arya,
who changed her expression to dark after seeing the scene, shook Frey and started asking questions.

“Is it because I pushed you earlier? Where does it hurt? Or maybe it has something to do with that
incident?”
“No… that’s…”

“Speak quickly. How the hell did this cut blood come out…!”

Arya felt something strange when Frey averted her gaze and blurted out the end of her speech, and
pushed her fist out of the wall, but

Curlleung!!

“What, what?”

“…Yeah!?”

Suddenly, the wall they were leaning on shook and collapsed, and the wind caused them to lose their
balance and at the same time they fell backwards.

‘No matter how much you act… you can’t hide your true nature.’

In such a situation, Irina, who unconsciously hugged Arya and fell, absorbing all the shock, walked
towards them with a bitter smile.

“Oh, brother… now…”

“away.”

Meanwhile, Frey, who pushed her sister away with a frown when her sister, who was sitting on top of her,
looked at her with her eyes wide open, got up from her seat and asked, taking off her clothes.

“So, why are you here? Aria?”

“…I was investigating your mother’s accident.”

“What?”

“You know my brother, too. My mother died in this mountain.”

Having said that, Arya got up from her seat, supported by Irina, who had arrived in front of her, and
continued speaking.

“The case was somehow suspicious, so I’ve been investigating it by myself for a long time without anyone
knowing.”

“…what’s suspicious?”

“What wins…”

When Frey asked in a blunt voice, Arya looked at him like that and said.

“…it’s been around since then, oppa has changed.”

Hearing that, Frey looked at Arya for a moment blankly, then smiled coldly and said,

“Well, he died because of me, so it must have been an accident.”

“No, something is strange. You know it well, too. There are things that aren’t too obvious to buy and
buy…”

“Hey, where are the people who screamed that I was the one who killed my mother… What kind of
detective game is this all of a sudden?”

Arya heard those words and shook her head helplessly.

“Well, back then… I was angry without knowing it…”

“Well, it’s true. My mom is like I killed her. So there’s no need to apologize.”

“But…”

“Mom died because of me!!!”

In the end, Frey, who could not stand it and exploded, hurriedly pushed Arya to the wall and shouted.

“So, stop making skits like this…!”

“…I’ve never been here before.”

“What?”

“I’ve never been to this place before.”

Having said that, Arya started speaking with a serious expression.

“Does your brother know that black magic flows from this space? So, I came here every day to investigate,
but I couldn’t find the source of the black magic.”

“That means…”

“Yeah, there’s black magic overflowing at the end of this passage. So that means there’s an epicenter
there.”

At those words, Frey closed her mouth with a complex expression, and Arya began to speak with a
desperate expression on her face.

“Brother… Please… there will be the truth at the end… The truth about your mother’s death will be at the
end… So, if you find the truth… you too, stop doing bad things.”

“What do you mean?”

When Frey, who could not understand the flow of words at all, asked a question, Arya continued speaking
with a slightly puzzled expression.

“I mean… the reason why you changed is because of your mother’s death?

“Don’t get me wrong, Aria.”

Frey, who had cut off her words like that, raised the corners of her lips and said.

“Even if new truths are revealed… I won’t change.”

“Why…? Why?”

Then Arya muttered with a look of incomprehension, and Frey, who heard the murmur, turned her back on
her and answered softly.

“Because this is my nature.”

Saying that, Frey started walking into the aisle, and after staring blankly at Frey’s back for a long time,
Arya bowed her head and started following him.

‘By the way, it’s a really evil energy…’

Irina, who was silently looking at the sad scene, muttered to herself as she shook her hand at the flow of
evil black magic that came from afar.

‘…But, will it be okay with Arya?’

The weak point of black magic that erodes all mana and living things with darkness is ‘light’.

Of course, it is not possible to disable it with ordinary sunlight or light. If that were the case, there would
be no need for people to reject or fear the warlock.

The only thing that can counter the terrifying black magic is special mana that contains light, such as
‘mana of the sun’, ‘mana of the moon’, and ‘mana of the stars’, or ‘sacred power’ that saints and paladins
can use.

Other than that, there is not much power that can directly oppose the evil black magic.

Therefore, given the power of black magic that is now spreading at the end of the passage, it would be the
right choice for ordinary people to run away.

However, now that he has mana to fight against black magic, and there is Arya, who was called the
‘Starlight Wizard’ in the previous episode…

“…Oh.”

The moment I thought of that, Frey, who was in front of me, let out a sigh.
I looked ahead, wondering what was going on, and a Death Knight, emitting a ferocious energy from its
entire body, was blocking the front of the passage.

“Fortunately, they don’t attack us even when they see us.”

Frey, who looked at the Death Knight with alert eyes for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to
Arya and Irina behind them.

“It doesn’t seem like a preemptive attack, so let’s go back.”

“What do you mean?”

Saying that, as Frey was about to leave, Arya frowned.

“A Death Knight is a piece of cake.”

Saying that, she started spewing glistening mana in all directions.

“Sigh…”

Frey, who watched the scene, took a deep breath and came to Irina’s side and began to look at it quietly.

“…are you worried about your sister?”

“No, not at all.”

Irina, who carefully asked him a question, tilted her head as Frey spoke with a grin.

“It’s only a Death Knight… There’s no way that Arya can’t win.”

“So is it.”

But as Frey muttered in a voice full of confidence, she too nodded and began to agree.

The fact that the capital is blocked when the Death Knight appears and the Imperial Knights are strong
enough to be dispatched immediately after being fully armed is partly due to the fact that they have the
strongest power in the world view, but it is also because they did not realize it at all…

Pababang!!

“Oooh!!”

This is because Arya, who had already blown up Death Knight’s left arm, was also a powerful star wizard.

“If that was the case, wouldn’t it have been better than Irina of the same age?”

“It’s not… it could be.”

When Frey, who was looking at him happily, compared herself to her, Irina, who struggled to answer his
words, immediately asked with a mysterious expression on her face.

“But… why are you so anxious?”

Then Frey, who was smiling happily, hardened his expression and whispered in a low voice.

“…because I’m afraid to find out the truth.”

“Yes?”

Irina, who didn’t quite understand the words, asked again, frowned, but Frey just kept her mouth shut
and watched the battle taking place in front of her.

Bubbly!!

The battle that lasted for several minutes was decided when the flash of Arya’s flash hit the Death
Knight’s head.

“let’s go.”

Arya, who looked down at the body of Deathlight whose head had disappeared without a trace, said calmly
and began to rush her way.

“Whew.”
“Seeing you sigh, you must have been a little worried, didn’t you?”

“Yeah, it’s because the star’s mana just ran out. I can’t feel black magic or use mana, but if something
unexpected happens, isn’t it a big deal?”

In response to Irina’s words, Frey sighed deeply and started following her, and Irina, too, was trying to
follow Frey, but suddenly felt strange and looked back.

‘…is it your fault?’

For some reason, it seemed that black magic was felt from the back rather than the front, but it was a
fleeting feeling, so Irina thought it was a mistake and started to follow Frey, who had walked quite a long
way forward.

“Here. Black magic is oozing out in front of me.”

Frey and Irina, who had been walking forward for a while, stopped walking along with Arya’s words and
began to look ahead.

“Here… what the hell are you doing this for…?”

In front of them, a gigantic gate stood still.

“…Kania, why are you doing this?”

As Irina mumbled uncontrollably, trembling with anxiety, Frey looked at her with a worried expression and
whispered.

“I can feel terrible black magic in front of me. I’ve never felt such a huge black magic… only once.”

“When is that?”

“In the previous car… Carney, no, when I ran out.”

“what…?”

Frey, who could not feel the black magic properly because the mana of the stars was running low, said,
astonished at the words.

“It’s ridiculous, if that much black magic is gushing out… this mountain should rot and crumble sooner.”

Hearing this, Irina swallowed and nodded her head, and Frey hurriedly approached Arya, who was
reaching out to open the door in front of her, and shouted.

“Aria! Don’t open that door!!”

“…Huh?”

And from that voice and tone of voice, Aria, who was quick-witted, unconsciously recalled her older
brother who used to tear her apart every time she did a dangerous act, and hurriedly raised her hand…

Easy profit…

“Uh, huh!? You didn’t touch me?”

For some reason, the huge door started to open slowly on its own, even though no one had touched it.

Embarrassed by the sight, Frey placed her hand on the sword on her waist, and Irina hurriedly stretched
her arms out in front of her and took an attack stance…

“…what? No one there?”

When the door was fully opened, what they saw was a large room with a slightly dark light leaking out.

‘What? Why is there so much black magic when there is nothing…’

Irina, who entered the room with Frey, began to investigate the surroundings with such doubts.

“Isn’t this the place where I studied black magic?”

“It seems to be true, given that there are a lot of artifacts and materials related to black magic.”

Arya and Irina, who eventually guessed that this was the space where they were studying black magic,
suddenly started talking about the question that crossed their minds.

“But something is strange. No matter how much a space where he was studying black magic… it’s a bit
unnatural to feel such a high level of black magic.”

“That’s right. It’s too strong to say that you can feel the remaining black magic.”

After a long discussion about this space, Irina raised a question.

“Wait a minute, but why is there a light in this room?”

“Huh? So? This is a cave where there is no sunlight.”

After hearing Arya’s words, the two of them were silent for a moment, then raised their heads at the same
time and started looking up.

“…wait a minute.”

Arya, who was looking up at the ceiling so dark that there was no end in sight, shot a few flashes into the
sky to check it in more detail…

“…Oh my gosh.”

“Nonsense.”

Soon, the two of them fell into dismay.

It was because the ceiling so dark that there was no end in sight was filled with black magic.

“Is that, is that a possible size?”

Irina, who had been staring at that figure for a long time, suddenly felt strange and started looking
around.

“Ugh…”

“Do, master?”

Then Irina grabbed her head and found Frey lying on the floor, and Irina ran to him and started asking
questions.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“I’ve been here before…”

“Yes?”

“Memories… Memories… You have to hide… Hide and seek…”

Then Frey suddenly started gibberish.

“Werewolf… Mother’s Death…”

“Fray?”

“Kania’s…”

Frey, who had been uttering unfamiliar words for a long time, lost consciousness while trying to say
something.

“Hey!?”

“…Oh, Aria?”

Irina, who began to shake him in bewilderment, hurriedly turned around when she heard a scream from
behind.

Shoo…

“Hey, you crazy!!”

The black magic from the ceiling was fiercely attacking Arya.

“Uh, how many…!”

Embarrassed, Arya spewed the mana of a star from her hand, but it was too much to drive away all of the
overwhelming black magic, and eventually she was overshadowed by the black magic, and she slowly
closed her eyes and fell to the floor.

“Who is it! Me!!”

From that point on, Irina set her hands on fire and started screaming.

“Come out now!!”

“…All right.”

Irina was screaming and trying to make a fuss, but when she saw a person entering the room with the
door open in front of her, she turned off the lights and started muttering blankly.

“You, you…”

“Did you enjoy my performance?”

And Kania, who looked at her with a calm expression, began to raise the black magic spread all over the
place.

“You, how are you…?”

“This is the place where I once heard all the truth from my master’s unconscious and found it. And, it was
originally managed by Mr. Abraham, the head of the Starlight family.”

“What, what…?”

“Of course, he’s down now… Now that I’ve found this space, I’m using detection magic to stop intruders.”

After saying that, Kania, who carefully lifted Arya, who was lying under her, said while looking at Irina,
who still had a blank expression on her face.

“Up until now, only one Arya-san’s intrusion has always been detected… This time, two more have been
detected, so I came to see if it was possible, and it was the correct answer.”

“Uh… what about the dorm’s camouflage?”

“I’ve left the pinch to the smartest person on the entire continent for a while, so you don’t have to worry
about it.”

Having said that, Irina sighed as she watched Arya and Frey tucked away in the bed next to her, and
asked her a question with a trembling voice.

“So… what the hell is this place?”

Hearing that, Kania sighed and answered.

“This is where my parents horribly murdered the master’s mother and turned him into a werewolf.”

“…what!”

And after hearing those words, Irina immediately grabbed her head like Frey before and began to mutter
in a voice that had lost her soul.

“Come on, wait… Then the wolf… no, is it a werewolf?”

“Sigh…”

And Kania, who was looking at her with sad eyes, quietly looked up at the black magic in full bloom above
her head and murmured.

“…I have one more colleague I hoped never had.”

EPISODE 57

Irina, who had been making a blank expression for a while, began to mumble in a low voice.

“Hey, what’s this memory…? Why, I’ve been doing this until now…”

Kania, who looked at her quietly, sighed and asked a question.

“You were the one who noticed the mastermind’s evil, after all, Irina-san, wasn’t it?”

Irina, who had confused eyes at those words, nodded slowly and clasped her hands.

“Then… Frey is trying to protect me… his mother…”

“You remembered Yongke too. The master had to approach his unconscious mind to recall those
memories.”

“iced coffee…”

“Is it because the memory was manipulated in a way different from the master and me? Even when I
entered this room, I couldn’t remember anything. Well, I know the truth, so I don’t need to explain it
painfully.”

As Kania spoke calmly, Irina sat down with a completely soulless expression on her face.

“I didn’t want to know the truth…”

“Me too. I feel so guilty right now, I want to confess everything to the master and make atonement.”

Seeing Irina like that, Kania, who sat across from her, began to speak in a low voice.

“However, this shouldn’t be known to the master until everything is over.”

“Uh, that’s…”

“Your master always says it’s okay, but… From my point of view, your mental state is reaching its limit. If
you’ve been with us for a day or so, you’ll know it well.”

As Irina’s expression darkened as she recalled Frey’s face in a vision at those words, Kania sighed as if
she knew it.

“Besides, there are still many trials that you will face in the future. The first trial is only coming to an
end… I’m honestly afraid of what will come next.”

“…

Eventually, when Kania mentioned the ‘trial’, Irina bowed her head and began to tremble.

“…Irina-san, can I ask you a favor?”

“What…”

Kania, who had been staring at Irina like that, quietly asked, and Irina responded with a voice that had
run out of energy.

“Please don’t resent the master too much.”

“What?”

After speaking to Irina with a bitter expression on her face, Kania let out a deep sigh and continued her
conversation.

“There is no one in the world as pitiful as the master. So, please don’t hate me too much.”

“…under.”

Looking at Kania, who earnestly begs her not to, even if she asks for help, complains about not being
enough, Irina can roughly guess how lonely the two have been fighting.

“Tell me everything you know.”

“Yes?”

And, that’s why she finally came up with an answer.

“I want to know the more detailed truth.”

The answer to the question of whether to turn away from the truth and run away, or whether to accept it
and become strength.

“It’s not going to be an easy road. Every moment will be painful, and sometimes there will be impulsive
thoughts.”

“I do not care.”

“Really, are you ready to be together?”

Looking at her like that, Kania asked again and again until the end.

Above all else, knowing how much pain it is to choose this lonely road that no one knows about, even
though it was an urgent situation for a colleague, I implicitly developed a sense of sympathy and
compassion.

But even Kania like that already knew inside.

“Come on, let me know.”

It means that Irina, who has already made up her eyes, will never change her will.

“Sigh…”

After hearing Irina’s confirmation, Kania sighed with relief and resignation, then looked straight at Irina,
who had the same appearance as herself, and said:

“Well then, let’s get started.”

. . . . .

“Ha… Okay, what’s this time again?”

I fell over while grabbing my head in the room I followed Arya into, and I found myself in a closed, dark
space I terribly hated.

“Uh… no, no, no.”

Tired of this, I laid down on the floor, and then I started to laugh and mutter.

“Still, it’s good for mental training.”

In the old days, when I entered a space like this, my hands were shaking and I had trouble breathing.

Not only that, but I was able to train my mind by watching many other horrible scenes, I had a birthday
party, and I got to meet my mother.

Looking at that, the ordeal of the system is still for the purpose of making me stronger…

“F, Frey…”

“…Ugh.”

I was trying to compliment the system somehow, but my mother appeared in front of me with a fatal
wound. After all, the system guy must be a bastard who can’t do business with him.

Thanks to that, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I can’t make my mentality explode just by showing a scene
like that. First of all, isn’t that just a fantasy?

“Help me… Frey…”

“My mother never asked for help, you idiot system.”

Having said that, pushing away the illusion of reaching out to me, I sighed and fell into thoughts.

“By the way… we should find out who the hell noticed…”

I still haven’t been able to figure out who noticed me, so I’m starting to get nervous.

At least, I found out that Irina and Clana were ‘suspecting’ me with their ‘mind reading’ skill, but even if
that’s not enough, it’s not enough.

“Ha… Should I buy the Mind Reading skill LV2? No, the vitality recovery skill is more urgent than that.”

Even if you push the earning points into the family investment system, it will be quite a serious loss to buy
a skill with tens of thousands of points in a country where it is not enough.

However, there are pros and cons, so you have to think a little about this part as well…
 Grip Jijik!!

“Child, great.”

After thinking for a while, I started hearing a roar in front of me.

“under…”

When I asked what kind of fantasy he would show me this time, my mother was running through the
forest holding something.

“…Now I’m giving it a story.”

The system, which I thought would tremble because of trauma if I threw my mother’s body, seemed to be
prepared when I reacted badly.

Crazy! Crazy!

“Ugh.”

The mother, who was running with wounds all over her body, hurriedly radiated stellar mana when a black
energy flew from behind and threw her body aside.

“Ugh…”

The mother, who managed to avoid the dark energy, continued to run to somewhere.

“I can’t… as long as it’s like this…”

Mother, who had been running for such a long time, suddenly looked down at what she was holding and
started talking.

“Ummm… Mom?”

“…Shh.”

Eventually, when I heard the voice of my childhood, I could only recognize what my mother was holding
and running.

“My Frey, would you like to play hide and seek with your mother?”

“Yeah! I want to play hide and seek!”

When the young me answered brightly, my mother said with a soft smile.

“Okay, then, Mom, I’ll tease you.”

“Because I want to be a tagger?”

“Have you already done it once before?”

Hearing this, the young me put on a prickly expression on my face, and my mother said with a sly smile.

“Instead, I’ll just let you talk to me from now on.”

Then, when I smiled, my mother laid down the me she was holding and opened her mouth.

“I’m going to change the rules this time, Frey.”

“Change the rules?”

“Yeah, our clever Frey will understand right away, right?”

As I nodded, my eyes lit up, my mother quickly began explaining the rules.

“Mom is counting to 100 here, so Frey is running and counting to 100. Did you understand this far?”

“Of course!”

As I shouted confidently, my mother continued stroking my young hair.

“When you count to 100, you must stop moving and hide from what is around you. And, you must never
reveal yourself.”
“Yes!”

My mother, who was still looking at the young me who was still answering brightly, suddenly closed her
eyes tightly and hugged me.

“Mom, why are you suddenly like this?”

When I asked with a smile on my face at such an action, my mother, who had been silent for a while,
answered with a trembling voice.

“The game ends only when Mom finds Frey and hugs her tightly like this. Did you understand
everything?”

“I understand everything!”

“Yeah, if you resist with a wooden stick like last time, you’re prepared to eat it up, aren’t you?”

“Hehe.”

I smiled brightly at those words, and when I tried to run forward, my mother stopped by holding my arm
for a moment, and added in a low voice.

“I love you, my son.”

“me too!”

After those words, my mother, who had let me go as a child, gathered star mana in her hand and muttered
as she walked in the opposite direction from where she had run so far.

“…So you must survive.”

And the next moment, my vision began to see a narrow, dark room again.

“Fuck.”

After witnessing the scene made quite plausible, I frowned and muttered.

“…well, anyway, it’s just an illusion.”

Suddenly, I remembered the scene I saw in my last dream, where my mother told Irina to hide.

If that’s true, that explains why my memories were manipulated into memories of hide and seek, but

Although I am guessing the truth to some extent,

Anyway, that’s just a fantasy. It’s the ‘illusion’ that the system shows to make me painful and annoyed.

So, seeing an illusion created for such a frivolous purpose does not harm me at all.

It will be.

“Fray.”

As I was thinking about it, my surroundings suddenly became blurry and I started to hear someone’s
voice.

‘Ah, I see it’s time to wake up slowly.’

At the same time, as I felt my head clearing up, I realized that it was time to wake up from the illusion and
quietly opened my eyes.

“Good morning?”

Then, someone who was looking down at me sullenly came into my sight.

“Ugh… the head.”

For some reason, looking at the unknown being, I felt a pain in my head for a moment and looked around,
then muttered with a sullen smile.

“What, is this an illusion?”

“What do you mean?”

As someone tilted their head at my words and asked, I pointed over there and said.

“You know there’s Irina over there wearing Kania’s clothes, right?”

“like that.”

“Even if it’s too tight, I’m pulling my suit off… pu-h-h-h-h-h-hh…”

I smiled while pointing at Irina, who had been quietly bowing her head for a while, then realized that
Kania, who was next to her, was talking to Irina.

“…that’s all the stories you’ve been through so far.”

“Ahhh…”

With a look on my face that was getting more and more terrified, I hurriedly approached the two of them
sitting at the desk.

“I’m sorry… Frey.”

Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and her nose was red, and tears remained on her face.

As soon as I saw that, everything that had happened up until now began to be organized in my mind.

A sheltered space that was somehow familiar, Kania who had a different reaction than usual, Kania that
Irina had caught when she was young, and a forest full of memories with Irina when she was a child.

“Hahaha…”

I quickly grasped the truth because of the needlessly fast-moving head, and immediately began to laugh.

“Ha ha… ah ha ha…”

After laughing for a long time, I asked Irina, who had her head bowed, in a low voice.

“Were you the one who noticed my evil two months ago?”

“Fray, my… I’m wrong… uh…”

But, she was just crying with tears in her eyes.

“No, you don’t have to feel guilty…”

I reached out to comfort her, but…

“…what?”

For some reason, my hand passed Irina’s shoulder.

“What, what is this?”

I was so embarrassed by this that I hurriedly removed my hand from her shoulder and then touched mine
with the other hand, which, apparently, passed through each other instead of intertwined.

“…I’m dead?”

“Okay.”

I stared blankly at him for a while and muttered in a dismayed voice, then turned my gaze to the side
when someone next to me responded to my words.

“What, what? You?”

However, it was impossible to figure out who it was because its entire body was shining, so when I asked
with a frown, the being slowly opened its mouth.

“First of all, take a good look at what’s happening now.”

And as soon as he finished saying that, Kania opened her mouth, so I looked back and started looking at
the two of them sitting at the desk.

“Irina, are you really going to do that?”

“…Yeah, that’s the only way to avoid the ‘curse’ you’re talking about and do anything to help Frey.”
“Yes, I understand. Then…”

As Irina, who had already stopped crying, spoke with a determined expression on her face, Kania began to
wiggle her hands cautiously.

“Ugh…!”

Then, the huge black magic above the room began to be sucked into Irina’s body.

“Irina-san, I’ll say it again… This method is to force black magic into the mana circuit that has been dried
and twisted by mana exhaustion, so it’s a lot of pain…”

“Whatever it is, it won’t be any less than the pain Frey felt.”

“Then, be patient.”

Kania, who warned Irina once more before long, began to infuse black magic into Irina even faster.

“Ugh…! Ugh…”

“I’m sorry. It would have been a little less painful if I had added my black magic.”

“With the black magic you have… you don’t even need to accumulate a few years. It should be about the
same as the black magic that is up there… Success… Awesome!”

After absorbing black magic for a long time, Irina eventually fell on her desk and began to tremble.

“Maybe… until the period of mana exhaustion is over, fill the mana circuit with black magic to deceive the
system?”

As I watched the scene, I realized their plans and began to stick my tongue out.

Because such a thing is mana exhaustion and only Irina, who has a natural sense of mana management,
can try it, and things can go wrong.

If that black magic ritual fails, the mana circuits in Irina’s body may be permanently damaged, rendering
her mana disabled.

The inability to mana that wizards fear more than death.

“Ahhhhhhh!!”

“Hold on a little longer, Irina. Almost done.”

As I was thinking about it, Irera, who was in front of me, suddenly started to scream terrible.

Embarrassed by this, I tried to run to her, but then I looked down at the hands still passing through each
other, realizing that I couldn’t be of any help now, and began to quietly observe the result.

“Uh uh… uh…

“Are you okay? Irina-san?”

After a long time passed, as black smoke began to rise from Irina, Kania cautiously turned to her and
asked a question.

“Because this is… nothing.”

Then, the mana circuits all over her body were dyed black, and Irina, who appeared all over her body like
blood vessels, exhaled a harsh breath and answered.

“…a ceremonial success.”

Then Kania sighed and sat down on her seat, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead as she answered.

“Now then, the master and the young lady…”

The two of them held their breath for a while, then turned to the bed where Arya and I were lying, but…

Whoa, whoa…

“…what?”

For some reason, I started to panic when a black energy that appeared from somewhere began to seep
into me, who was still lying in bed, and Arya, who was sleeping soundly.

“Joe, why can’t you control it?”

Confused at the sight, Kania hurriedly stretched out her hand, but for some reason the black magic
couldn’t be controlled, so she started running to the bed in a panic.

Bubbly!!

“…hot!”

But when Arya suddenly got up and spewed star mana from her hand, Kania rushed back and asked a
question in a tense voice.

“Lady? Why are you like this?”

Then, Aria, who looked at her like that, raised the corners of her lips…

Bubbly Bubbly!!

“Ugh!!”

Soon after, he began to pour star flashes at Kania indiscriminately.

“This, how did this happen?”

And when everything stopped at that point, I started looking around with a confused look.

“It is thought.”

“Yes?”

Then, someone who had been by my side until then started talking quietly.

“The thoughts of two people who were caught in an accident while searching for foolish truths were
mixed with black magic, and when the black magic disappeared, it was revealed.”

“Uh, that’s…”

“Even if it was a thought, it seems that desire has not disappeared. Seeing you and your brother as hosts.”

“Ah…”

Having understood the situation roughly with those words, I sighed and said.

“Then am I dead?”

“No, I just lost control of my body now.”

“okay.”

As I silently nodded and stared blankly at the moment I stopped, the existence next to me asked a
question.

“Do you want to give up?”

Hearing those words, I frowned and looked to the side, and the being began to speak in a soft tone.

“From now on, it’s only up to you.”

“My choice?”

“Yeah, it all depends on that choice.”

Saying that, the being began to approach me, and I asked the being with a calm expression.

“What if I give up here?”

“Eternal rest. Maybe, it’ll feel pretty good.”

“okay.”

I nodded quietly, and the being continued speaking in a soft voice.

“No one will blame you. You did your best, and you deserve it…”

“What if I keep moving forward?”

But when he stopped talking and asked the question again, the being answered with a dry voice.

“It must be a series of hardships and adversity.”

Hearing those words, I closed my eyes tiredly, and the being hurriedly added words.

“Maybe we may end up in a more absurd, more horrific situation than now… We may face the end without
making such a choice. Still…”

“Okay, give me a hug.”

I cut off the words of that existence once more and said with a smile.

“I’m going to try drinking too.”

Then, the light that flashed in front of me spread out in all directions and began to brightly illuminate the
room.

“…how did you know?”

And then, with a twinkling light spreading everywhere, a woman who appeared in my sight tilted her head
and asked a question, and I slowly approached her and began to give her an answer.

“The ceiling is full of black magic, and light coming into the room means that there is something more
powerful than that energy on top of the black magic…”

Eventually, as I embraced my mother who appeared in front of me in full form, I ended the conversation
with a bright smile.

“Above all, you care so much about me, how can you not recognize me?”

“You’ve grown up straight.”

I hugged my mother for such a long time, and I silently murmured as I felt the warmth of warmth and the
light that was spread everywhere seep into me.

“I will definitely survive.”

Then my mother, who slowly became a piece of light and soaked in me, replied with a grin.

“Then, whose son is that?”

After saying that, my mother completely permeated my body along with the mana of the stars that had
filled the ceiling, and immediately after that, a system window appeared in front of me.

[The first trial ends early!]

[If the following conditions are met…]

“Girl.”

Having removed the system window right in front of my eyes, I muttered softly, feeling the scene around
me gradually changing.

“…where you dare put a spoon.”

. . . . .

“Do, master! Lady!”

When he came to his senses, a rather gruesome scene was unfolding in front of his eyes.

“Ugh…”

“Calm down! Please!”

It was because Kania and Irina were lying on the floor of the half-broken room, full of them, Arya was
approaching them with a lot of black magic, and I was surrounded by the mana of the twinkling stars.

“Please…! Please…!”
“Cania.”

With a desperate expression on my face, I called Kania, who was trying to stop me and Arya somehow, in a
low voice.

“I know that?”

“Yes?”

When I suddenly asked in a calm voice, who had been violently attacking her up until now, Kania began to
show a bewildered expression.

“I mean…”

Staring at her like that, I stretched out my hand upwards and finished the conversation with a smirk.

“…I’ve always wanted to try magic at least once.”

And in the next moment, the twinkling flashes of light from my hand enveloped everything except Kania
and Irina in an instant.

Shaaaah…

Then, the black magic spread in the room began to be purified in an instant, and Arya, who was
approaching Kania and Irina, lost her mind and fell to the floor.

Shoo!

Eventually, a black sphere came out of Arya’s body and started flying towards me with the speed of a
bullet.

“Still, I’m still more familiar with the sword.”

EPISODE 58

“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 master.”

“Hey, the wound is quite serious.”

I passed over Kania’s words like that and approached right in front of me, and I 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…”

While I was looking around for something to stop Kania’s wounds, I looked at the scars on Irina’s body
and the blackened mana circuits, and put my hand on my forehead and said,

“driving me crazy.”

Irina, who was looking 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, let’s get out of here and say. For me, it’s kind of a bad place.”
After saying that, Kania and Irina’s expressions hardened.

“Don’t do that, here…”

As I was about to head to the entrance while forcing them to stand up, I suddenly found Arya lying next to
her unconscious and muttered with a sigh.

“…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
he intentionally treats you 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.”

Having said 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 and crystallize with a surprised expression, soon
hardened her expression and started talking to me again.

“Master, the room in there 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.

“But…”

“Sometimes you have to delay, Kania.”

“…I see, Master.”

In the end, Kania quietly nodded at my determination, then shut 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 blank expressions.

“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 earlier. So, you might wake up soon.”
“then…”

“Considering the girl’s condition and other factors… After all, moving to the nearby Starlight Duke’s
Residence would be the best option. It will lose.”

Hearing that, I quietly nodded my head in agreement, and Kania went up to Arya 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 the master and Irina cannot go.”

Having said that, Kania, who received Arya, looked at me and Irina alternately, and then sighed and said,

“And… the master seems to have to stay here until tomorrow.”

“What do you mean?”

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 Arya at the duke’s residence. So, if you stay here for a while, I’ll come
back tomorrow morning and pick up the master. .”

As I nodded at those words, Irina, who had been hesitating for a long time, opened her mouth quietly.

“I, I will remain…”

“Yes?”

Upon 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 the master clear the situation in an instant with stellar mana?”

“Still, I’m quite exhausted, so it could be a bad thing. So, I’ll be with you until tomorrow.”

As Irina continued to stick 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 the master until tomorrow.”

“Uh huh… I’ll do my best…”

Saying that, Kania glared at her fiercely, and Irina, who was momentarily flinched, responded by
stuttering slightly.

“Master, I’ll just leave.”

Kania, who looked at Irina with a distasteful expression, held Arya on her back and greeted me.

“Yeah, then, please take care of Arya…”

“…Ummm.”

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.”

Kania, who had a cold expression on her face at the same time as me, muttered in a reassuring voice,
while 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 corner today, so there will be no 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 blurry, Arya was clearly
saying that she was getting tired of trusting me.

So, one more time, just one more big event…

“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 solved right now.

“Uh, then… let’s go back to the secret base.”

As Kania, carrying Arya, disappeared as she went down the mountain, Irina lowered her gaze and
sneered.

Feeling a little awkward with her like that, 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 there was a
riot of water in the secret base as water poured in through the wide open door.

“If that’s the case… should I be homeless?”

I muttered with a troubled expression on my face as I watched the scene, and 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 leaned over to her without saying a
word and started following her.

‘Wait, but why did Irina do that earlier?’

In the meantime, I fell into a trivial question for a moment.

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 such 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 used to play together?”

“okay.”

Irina, who answered briefly that I was still awkward, gathered up the branches that were lying on the
floor and started to light a fire, and I sat quietly and began to observe her making a fire.

“Ugh…”

However, Irina, who always lighted the fire in less than a few seconds, started to struggle today.

As I was looking 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?”

“Fuck, it’s okay… 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.”

After hearing her words, I sat down for a while and waited for the fire to come on, then I unintentionally
looked at her hand and ran in surprise.

“…Mi, I’m sorry.”

Her hand had been peeled from 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 grin.

“First of all, did you put the branches in here?”

Carefully grabbing the branch and inserting it into the groove of the tree, I quickly began to rub the
branch, recalling 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 light 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.”

Having said that, Irina, who was staring blankly at me as I started heading towards the river, got up
hurriedly from her seat 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 at all, 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
was thinking of Clana, who used to shoot lasers by gathering 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 number 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’m going to focus on shooting 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 to increase the ability of magic to adapt.

“…Sigh.”

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
nervous expression.

“Ummm…”

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!”

When she finally opened her eyes and praised it, I was delighted and picked up the fish skewer next to it
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 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 bewildered 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 knew until now, so I laughed out
loud without knowing 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 quietly spoke to me, and when I answered the conversation with a smile, she looked at
me shyly and made a shocking remark.

“I want to quit the academy.”

“What!?”

As I looked at her with a shocked expression at those words, Irina quietly 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.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhh~♪”

“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 is arbitrarily revolving…?”

“More than that, do you do business here now? Please calculate this.”

After a while, 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 pay 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?”

As she snapped her fingers, she 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.

EPISODE 59

“Good night? Master?”

“Oh, Kania.”

The next day after returning safely from the forest to the academy, I woke up feeling quite refreshed.

“I slept really well today. Really.”

Instead of waking up looking at the old ceiling of the secret base or the sky full of sunlight, waking up
looking at the ceiling of the dormitory feels quite secure.

“Are you really sure you’re right?”

“Yeah, you slept really well this time? Thanks to the ordeal ended early, I was able to get a good night’s
sleep without even dreaming.”

Nevertheless, when Kania continued to ask, I answered with a soft smile, but upon hearing that, she
frowned and asked again.

“Then, is it a lie to say you slept well?”

“Uh… is that so?”

At that sharp question, I secretly avoided my gaze and mumbled my words, and Kania sighed and sat
down on my bed.

“Master, there’s no need to hide that from me. I’m the only master…”

Profit…

Eventually, just as Kania took my hand and talked, the dormitory door slowly opened and someone came
in.

“Oh, hello?”

When Irina entered my room, she saw me and Kania holding hands and greeted me with a slight blush,
and then there was silence in the room for a moment.

“…He’s not the only one who understands, but he’s a loyal henchman.”

Kania, who finally broke the silence, quietly glared at Irina and finished her speech.

“Uh… So, I’ve finished the procedures. So, from today on, I’m your maid.”

As Irina said, starting today, her official status is my dedicated maid.

At first, Irina insisted on leaving the academy and joining my maid service, but I was desperately trying to
tear her apart.

This is because leaving the academy will not only hinder her progress to the position of the archmage she
so longs for, but will also have a negative effect on the scenario.

As a result of tearing it up and drying it for a while, Irina changed her mind that she wanted to become
my temporary employee and live in the same dormitory as me, but this time, Kania desperately stopped it.

By the way, I don’t even know the reason for the marriage or what kind of talk went back and forth
between the two.

What I do know is that after hours and hours had passed, Kania, who came out of the room, had a cold
smile and Irina had a gloomy expression on her face.

Anyway, as a result, Irina, who was neither my exclusive maid nor a temporary worker, eventually got a
job as a maid in a noble dormitory as a last resort.

Of course, working as a maid in an aristocratic dormitory and being an academy student at the same time
was against the rules, but by giving the dean Lionel a small gift, he was able to circumvent the rules
cleverly.

So, she lived in an empty room right next to my dorm room and became a dedicated maid who came to me
whenever I called.

“By the way… It’s a bit awkward as well. No matter how unavoidable it is…”

“So, Irina-san. Why the hell did you make such a choice?”

Irina, who was looking around with an awkward expression on the maid outfit she wore for the first time
in her life, responded with a serious expression to Kania’s bitter question.

“In regards to that, there’s something you guys need to know.”

Having said that, Irina sat down on the chair, took a deep breath, and uttered surprising words from her
mouth.

“I’ll start with the conclusion. Kania, you are currently under suspicion, and Frey may be assassinated
sooner or later.”

When Kania and I with those words opened our eyes, Irina sighed and finished speaking.

“So I came in as a double spy to try to improve the situation somehow.”

Kania and I, who had been bruising for a while even after Irina had finished speaking, looked at each
other for a moment and then exchanged words one by one.

“After all, I must have been under suspicion. For some reason, the information that has been coming to me
lately has been very poor.”

“Yeah, why didn’t the assassin come? Now, the difficulty will rise rapidly.”

After saying that, when we both looked depressed at the same time, Irina looked at us and started talking
again.

“First of all, Kania, you are being suspicious of the princess.”

“Are you talking about Clana-san?”

“Yeah, I’m not sure yet… The princess sees a high possibility of your conversion now, and is trying to get
some evidence.”

At those words, Kania said with a firm expression.

“Well, no matter how exquisitely a vague secret document is conveyed… if it repeats itself, there’s no way
Clana-san won’t notice it.”

“Yes, I often see the princess muttering while feeling strange at the documents you gave me.”

As Irina responded to those words, Kania turned the fountain pen she took out of her arms around and fell
into thoughts.

“And, the princess is also preparing to assassinate Frey you.”

“Is Clana-san preparing for the master’s assassination?”

Then, when Irina started talking again, Kania stopped turning the fountain pen, frowned and interrupted
the conversation.

“Obviously, Clana-san’s plan wasn’t to completely destroy and then kill the master, was it?”

“Yeah, it was.”

Irina looked at me and continued, looking at the two women who were casually talking about a terrifying
story, thinking that maybe they were lucky to have been caught.

“But the princess’s thoughts have changed because of the last ‘common dormitory attack’ and this ‘sacred
undead knight’ incident.”

“…how?”

“If it is possible to kill secretly and secretly, I will kill you as quickly as possible.”

Hearing that, I hardened my expression for a moment, but then answered with a smirk.

“It’s okay. There’s no problem with that. No matter how fast Clana expands her power… it won’t be easy
to get enough power to threaten me within a year.

“The princess has joined hands with the elders of the ‘Moonlight Family’.”

Hearing those words, I felt my heart pounding and began to express myself.

Clana has the confidence to overcome the assassination plans and assassins that she has devised and
selected by herself.

However, if she had teamed up with the Moonlight family’s ‘senior council’, the story would be very
different.

This is because the Moonlight family’s elder council, which has been making assassination as their
business since the founding of the family, is about to start in earnest.

Of course, the Senate had already ordered Serena to kill me, but the fact that they are trying to kill me by
inviting other factions means that their plan is going wrong.

This is because it is quite unusual for the Moonlight family, who is nothing more than the shadow of the
empire, to join forces with other powers, no matter how princess Clana.

“Probably, they’re going to your birthday party next week. To prevent that, I tried to convince the princess
that I would risk becoming a spy, but… it’s unclear whether that will work.”

“Ummm…”
With that thought in mind, Irina, who passed on additional information and looked at me shyly, spoke in a
low voice.

“So be careful. Don’t die for nothing.”

After saying that, Irina slowly turned her gaze to the side, and I laughed out loud at how funny she was,
then I tilted my head in curiosity and asked a question.

“By the way, how do you know such information? I don’t think Clana shared all of that?”

“Ah, that’s…”

Irina, who heard that question, answered as if it was nothing.

“…It’s true that Clana shared the assassination plan, but I discovered the cooperation with the Moonlight
family myself.”

“how?”

“I stole the letter.”

Hearing this, I made a blank expression for a moment, then asked in an absurd voice.

“Isn’t that information that could be stolen so easily?”

Then Irina said with a slightly proud expression on her face.

“I was poor when I was young… so I’m good at stealing.”

“By the way, the first time I met you was when I ran into you on the street with bread in a hurry, right?”

Hearing those words, I suddenly remembered Irina and asked a question with a grin.

“At that time, when the bread was scattered on the street, I got very angry, so I bought a bigger one…

“Mmm, I mean, there was nothing I could do to make a living.”

Hearing that, Irina blushed and laughed as she made excuses, when Kania, who was sitting next to her,
suddenly interrupted the conversation.

“Now is not the time, Master.”

“Yes?”

“Shouldn’t we come up with the next plan and strategy? We shouldn’t cause any more variables.”

As I quietly nodded at those words, Kania took out a notebook from her arms and began to ask me
questions.

“First of all, I want to know a little bit about who will become a threat in the future. I will deal with it in
advance… No, I will investigate.”

“Ummm…”

Hearing those words, I began to answer while recalling the contents of the Prophets.

“If they are people who will be a threat in the future… Except for the ‘main heroines’, they will be ‘sub-
heroes’.”

“A sub-heroine?”

“Yeah, like Isolet… or Arianna, Irina’s friend.”

Hearing this, Irina was startled, while Kania began to write something down in her notebook with a
serious expression on her face.

“Ah, and next year I’ll be entering the academy… The daughter of the intelligence guild leader who
dominates the afterlife, the youngest paladin of the Sun God Church, and the princess of a small country
in the Western Continent are also sub-heroes.”

Then, as the number of people I was referring to increased, Kania clenched her notebook and whispered
softly.
“…what are so many?”

To her words, I replied with a smirk.

“Of course, that’s a story on the normal route… On the villain route, they’re just as difficult as the main
heroines.”

“Sigh…”

I looked at Kania, who sighed after hearing those words, with a sorry expression, and secretly delivered
the good news.

“Still, I have a good relationship with the information guild’s daughter right now… That part…”

“Okay. Then, what’s the next ‘Main Quest’?”

Kania’s eyes, who for some reason cut off my words, were cold, so my spine shivered for a moment and I
quickly opened the system window in front of my eyes.

[Main Quest: Liberation of the Slave Market]

Quest Content: Raid the upcoming massive slave market and free the slaves to prevent catastrophe!

[Reward: Increases the awakening of the warrior’s armor, increases the total amount of mana]

[Failure penalty: Reputation greatly reduced]

“…A raid on the slave market?”

As soon as I read the contents of the system window that appeared in front of me, Kania said with a
hopeful expression.

“I’m sure it’s not the case I know about, is it?”

“I can’t read your memories…but it’s probably the case you’re thinking of.”

Upon hearing those words, Kania sighed deeply and bowed her head.

“The slave market is nothing more than a bomb shed. If you touch it wrongly… even the master will not be
able to handle it.”

After a while, Kania quietly opened her mouth and began to speak in a worried voice.

“Isn’t it necessary to follow the main quest? If you are too swayed by the system, Satan will surely arise
someday. So, I think this main quest is…”

“It’s not because of the main quest.”

“Yes?”

I looked at her like that, and started speaking with a determined look.

“Even if this wasn’t the main quest… Even if the rewards and penalties were reversed… I would have
decided to block this case unconditionally.”

“Master, but…”

I raised my hand to stop Kania from interfering with my words, and spoke again in a clear tone.

“It’s already been decided in the previous episode. I will prevent that disaster and free the slaves no
matter what.”

“…okay.”

Kania, who had hardened her expression for a moment when I did not change her mind, said with a soft
smile.

“If the master’s will is the case, then I will follow suit. I am the master’s henchman.”

“Thank you, Kania.”

As I responded to her with a soft smile, Irina, who was quietly watching us from the side, timidly
intervened.
“Uh… I’ll do my best to help.”

“Yes, thank you. Irina.”

I said hello to her as well, got up from bed, and left the dormitory.

“Then, I’m going to go to class soon.”

The time has come to go back to the boring class.

. . . . .

“Today is the last day of the first semester. And, at the same time, it is also the day when special exams
start.”

Something is wrong.

As usual, I was trying to pass time by listening to boring classes in a boring classroom, but Isolette takes a
special exam.

“…how did this happen?”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

When I asked with a mysterious expression, Kania, who had entered the classroom with me, also
answered with an expression of incredulity.

“Hey… a special test?”

And when a commoner student raised his hand and asked if it was the same for the other students,
Isolette said with a calm expression.

“The special test you will see from today is a test to reselect students who will drop out of Class A next
semester.”

Upon hearing this, the noble students and my faces turned blue.

“That, what does that mean!”

“The results of the final exam… Weren’t all the dropouts from commoners?”

“This is an abuse of power! No matter how prestigious the professor is, this kind of behavior is…!”

Eventually, the noble students got up like a swarm of bees and started protesting.

“…it is an order from the imperial family.”

When the nobles all shut their mouths at those words, Isolet smiled and said:

“Thanks to those who lobbied hard and bribes to get the points… The imperial family was quite upset
when the talented guys were eliminated.”

“Well then…”

“The imperial family chose to retest instead of investigating the facts. Therefore, I just follow it. Do you
have any objections?”

Of course, no one disputed that statement. Because the moment you raise an objection, you will be
objecting to the decision of the imperial family.

In such a chilling silence, I rolled my eyes and fell into thought.

‘Something strange…? Was the imperial family such a clean and conscientious group?’

The present imperial family is a breeding ground for corruption and a bureaucracy where all kinds of
conspiracy tricks are rampant.

In fact, most of the corruption and corruption occurring in most state institutions are managed and
controlled by the imperial family.

Therefore, the large-scale corruption case that occurred in this final exam must have also closed its eyes
at the same time as the imperial family intervened.
But, why did the imperial family make such a decision?

‘Is it Clana?’

I glanced at Clana just in case, but she also had an unfamiliar expression on her face.

Anyway, even Clana, who has gathered quite a lot of power, will not have the authority to intervene fully in
these corruptions yet.

And, not only Clana, but the majority of officials will not have the authority and power to make this
decision that goes against the position of the existing imperial family.

‘…The Empress? 1 prince? 1 Princess?’

So I started to think of people who could do these things with the click of a finger, but no matter how
much I thought about them, I couldn’t think of any reason why they would do these things.

“Ummm…”

After that, I tried to guess what happened for a long time, but when I got a headache, I finally gave up
guessing and started asking questions to Isolet.

“So, what is the content of the exam?”

Then, Isolette started talking without even looking at me.

“The special test we are going to see today will be a team fight.”

After hearing the words of the dungeon and the team battle, the children began to murmur, and Isolet,
who blew a chilly energy into the children and silenced them in an instant, looked around and continued
speaking.

“The team, as always, is divided into a noble team and a commoner team, and each team has a
commander appointed.”

Saying that, Isolet put the ballot box in front of the school table.

“The commander is decided by everyone’s vote. So, the nobles and commoners should vote for their
commander from now on.”

Saying that, Isolette handed out the papers, and most of the nobles began to sneak a glance at me.

‘…well, those guys don’t want me to be the commander either.’

Right now, I am hated by everyone because of the rumor that I am closely related to the Demon King.

So, even aristocrats who are full of thoughts of waiting in line will not vote for me.

If they are quick to calculate, wouldn’t they choose Clana, the rising sun, as their commander?

“Then, let’s start counting.”

I was so engrossed in my thoughts, that before I knew it, Isolette tapped the ballot box and declared the
count of the votes.

Shrek!

Then, the chalk on the blackboard moved automatically and started writing down the voting results
automatically.

Noble side: Frey Raon Starlight

Commoners: Clana Solar Sunrise

“…under.”

And the result, quite simply, exceeded my expectations.

‘The nobles are more stupid than I thought… the commoners seem to be smarter than I thought.’

There was still so much to do, but I was in despair at the fact that I had to take on a commander who
didn’t know what to do, when Isolett checked the blackboard and declared with a calm expression.
“Okay. From today, I will appoint Frey Raon Starlight as the commander of the commoners and Clana
Solar Sunrise as the commander of the nobles.”

When those words were finished, there was silence for a moment.

“Hey, Professor? What is that…”

“I’m not mistaken. In the special exams that will continue throughout the holidays, Frey will be the
commander of the commoners and Clana will be the commanders of the nobles.”

When those words were finished, everyone fell into silence again.

Perhaps, he was in such a shock that he did not even think of humming.

“Then the commander has been decided, so let’s reveal the identity of this special test.”

Isolet, who was looking at those children calmly, raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“From now on until the end of the vacation, if you protect your commanders, you win.”

When everyone was embarrassed by that, Isolet quietly added a word.

“The coach of the winning team will be given the authority to select some of the people who will be
eliminated.”

. . . . .

Meanwhile, somewhere in the back alley at that time.

“So, what is the Demon King’s intention?”

“Anyway, you haven’t revealed your identity until now, so I’m going to die of disbelief… Isn’t this too much
of an act?”

“This is unacceptable. How can someone who is neither a demon nor a monster…”

People who had gathered in the dark room, covering their faces with robes, were complaining one word at
a time.

“Quiet, quiet!!!”

When a man sitting at their top table slammed his desk in disgust, everyone stopped complaining and kept
their mouths shut.

“This is an order from the majestic Demon King…”

The second-in-command of the Demon King’s army, who was glaring at them coldly, looked down at the
same photo everyone was holding and declared in a low voice.

“…from today on, this man is one of the top executives of the Demon King’s Army.”

EPISODE 60

“From now on, I will put a special mark on everyone.”

Isolet, who was glaring at us, who had a blank expression on their shocked expression, said so, and tore
the magic scroll in her arms.

Shoo…

Then, the gray energy from the torn scroll penetrated everyone’s body, and then disappeared.

“This mark is only damaged by the special magic formula and special weapon that will be distributed after
class. And if you take more than a certain amount of damage, the mark disappears and is reported to me
immediately.”

Hearing those words, when I looked at my body with the mana of the stars, I could really feel the marks
on my body.

“The person whose mark disappears can no longer proceed with the test, and the one who loses the
commander’s mark first loses. Did everyone understand up to this point?”

As the children quietly nodded, Isolet continued speaking in a low voice.

“Then I’ll explain the rules for elimination this time.”

The rule of elimination that came out of her mouth was quite simple.

Most of the winning teams are exempted from class B, and most of the losing teams become class B.

And, according to Isolet, because of this part, the ‘commander’ of each team can literally have enormous
powers.

First, the commander of the winning team is given the right to choose some of the people to be
eliminated.

Since the range of people who can be drawn includes not only the opposing team but also their own team,
even if they win the game, those who fail to contribute or interfere can be eliminated.

And the commander of the defeated team can choose who from among his team members to remain in
Class A.

In other words, confronting a commander with such enormous authority would never happen…

“I’m not going to protect you, Frey.”

I guess I got it wrong. Someone has already come out.

“Rather than protecting you… I’d rather go to Class B.”

Someone told me that Perloche was staring at me fiercely among the crowd of commoners.

I could have entered the academy as much as I could, but the saint is just a representative of God and not
a noble person, and Perloche, who voluntarily entered the academy as a commoner, is looking at me with
such hateful eyes, and somehow my heart breaks.

“Why don’t you sit down and do that? If you go down to the lower class B, the Sun God Church will be in
chaos?”

“Shut up that mouth.”

So, I tried to talk with a smirk in my voice, but Perloche hated me and spoke coldly.

“If it keeps coming up like this… I can’t help it either.”

“Well, what can’t be helped?”

In the end, I had no choice but to use the last resort I had planned to use if things didn’t go well within 10
minutes after the performance evaluation started.

“I’m going to surrender to Clana now.”

“…Yes?”

Hearing what I said, Perloche began to make a stupid expression on her face.

“Come on, hold on! Frey!”

“Uh… please wait…”

But the commoners, who realized the meaning of my words, began to cling to me urgently.

“I, there… Why is everyone doing that?”

Seeing that, Perloche still asked with a stupid expression on her face, so I raised the corners of my mouth
and answered.

“If I surrender to Clana right now… most of the people here will have to go to class B without a squeak.”

“That, that…”

“And, as far as I know, most of the common people in Class A barely attend the academy with a special
scholarship in Class A. Aren’t they?”

As I said that and smiled, the commoners who had been clinging to me bowed their heads and began to
bite their lips tightly.
“Come on, wait a minute! But… If you do, Clana-san will point to you? So, calm down…”

Then Perloche hastily warned me.

“Even if I fall into Class B, I don’t care?”

“Yes, yes?”

“I’m the provisional head of the duke’s family, the most powerful among the three dukes in the Empire.
But do you think anything will happen if you only go to Class B?”

“Well then… Are you really going to surrender!?”

I smiled as I looked at the shouting Perloche with a resentful expression, then I headed towards the exit of
the empty classroom I had entered for the operation meeting.

“It’s okay, Perloche. You’re not going to drop out in particular. I have to focus on getting at least one more
of those lowly things out of the way.”

“This, profit…”

“Then I’ll go surrender to Clana. Goodbye.”

As soon as I left those words and opened the classroom door, Perloche urgently grabbed my arm.

“Now, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

Speaking in a trembling voice, Perloche immediately knelt in front of me, and the commoners who
watched it quietly turned their heads and clenched their fists.

‘…Ehehe, that’s good.’

Then I sighed inwardly, sat down, put my legs on the desk, and said with an arrogant look on my face.

“So, where are you going to set your base?”

As Isolett said, both teams have to decide which base they will live in.

Due to anomalies that occur frequently these days, it is a policy established as part of teaching the
academy students in real life.

“Uh… It’s a test that runs throughout the vacation… Why don’t you just hide somewhere?”

Eventually, a female student raised her hand and spoke, and other commoner students began to chime in.

“…Yeah, that’s a good idea. So where are you hiding?”

When I asked them in a fat voice, the girl who had initially offered an opinion looked at me and carefully
threw the proposal.

“Uh… how about hiding in the woods…”

“Reject.”

I, who didn’t want to go near the forest for a while because I had struggled for a while in the gray forest
and the forest near my house, frowned, and the female student backed away with a frightened expression.

“You’re going to my house…”

“Reject.”

“At the inn we run…”

“Reject.”

After refusing for such a long time, everyone stopped talking and started staring at me coldly.

“…So, how long are you going to just stare at me?”

““……..””

I couldn’t stand the silence, and I asked some suggestive questions, but they still stared at me coldly.

“Well, then there’s nothing I can do…”

Thanks to that, I remembered being surrounded by angry people in the previous car, so I closed my eyes,
calmed my heart, and opened my mouth.

“…all of you, come to my house.”

Then there was silence for a while.

“What do you mean?”

Then, in a cold voice, Perloche asked me a question.

“What do you mean, sorry. I’m just for you guys…”

“Are you planning on doing something bad again this time?”

As Perloche continued to question me despite my excuses, I muttered with a sullen expression on my face.

‘No… even if I try to win, it’s a mess…’

I am determined to win this teamfight unconditionally.

Because, this is a golden opportunity to get rid of all the rotten nobles into Class B.

If the commoners team I am the commander wins in this test, Clana will be helpful to her and only
conscientious nobles will be left in Class A.

If that happens, I will finally be freed from the nobles who have always followed me and raised my stress
level to the end.

Of course, most of the nobles who were not chosen by Clana are high-ranking nobles who can afford to
pay bribes and are calculating figures, so there is a very high possibility that they will consider her as an
enemy and check her in the future.

In other words, if the commoners team wins, the fairness of the academy can be restored by removing the
annoying nobles, and at the same time, it can naturally contain Clana.

However, there is one problem with this.

If I help the commoners team to win with all my might, there may be rumors among commoners that I’m
actually a good aristocrat who helps commoners.

Then my life is over.

So, in this test, I have to bully and disturb the commoners as much as possible while secretly supporting
them from behind so that they can win.

“Fray! Answer me! What the hell do you mean!”

“Shut up, pack up all of you and come to my house. I will show you special mercy.”

After I had thought about it, I ignored Perloche’s call and spoke with a sly smile, and the commoners
began to hesitate with a look of reluctance.

‘Is this… I’m going to earn a lot of bad points during vacation?’

Seeing the commoners who are already afraid of what will happen at my house during the vacation even
though they just put on a sinister expression, this vacation seems to have a lot of vicious points.

“By the way… Where will Clana spend with the nobles?”

“Isn’t it the Imperial Palace?”

“Ah… that’s ridiculous. Anyway, it’s the Imperial Palace…”

“Still, if it’s really hidden in the Imperial Palace… Wouldn’t it be possible to see the Imperial Palace?”

As the commoner said with a slightly excited expression next to him, packing his luggage, because of the
special nature of this test, the imperial family has issued a decree that he will be spared sins no matter
where he enters.

Looking at it, after all this…

“Master, this seems to be Clana-san’s trap. So…”

“I know.”

“Yes?”

Kania, who was quietly packing her luggage, was talking to me, and I answered in a low voice.

When I saw Clana’s expression that she didn’t understand English earlier, I was frankly confused.

However, if she has gone through all the antenatal care, there will be no problem hiding her expression.

And if I lock myself in my room during the vacation and order a tight defense, it will be very difficult for
her to assassinate me, even if she has collaborated with the Moonlights.

But her and other nobles can legally break into the duke’s residence because of the decree… If you’re
going to assassinate me, there’s no better way than that.

So, the smart girl probably did this because I figured I’d be locked up in the peacock’s house the whole
vacation.

‘Of course, there are other motives, though.’

It is quite unusual for a student to be able to decide whether or not a student will drop out of Class A. No,
it’s actually quite suspicious rather than unusual.

So, if she did this… there must be a hidden motive.

It is not yet known how she exerted such influence because of her weak power base.

“Kania, when did you say the location of the commander would be announced?”

With that thought in mind, I posed a question to Kania implicitly.

“It will be a week later. After a week, the commanders of both sides will be notified at once.”

“…there will be time until then.”

I still have a lot of work to do, so I’m going to die, but I’m forcibly tracked and my head hurts.

But what can I do? Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to make the most of this situation.

“Fray, you.”

With that in mind, as I was about to go outside, someone grabbed my arm.

“you…?”

I turned around and saw Arianne, Irina’s childhood friend, glaring at me.

“Let’s talk with me for a moment.”

“No, annoying.”

Of course, I did not want to get involved with Arianne, who was as fierce as Irina, so I answered firmly
and tried to hurry the way.

Paging…!

Arianne, who was grinding her teeth, made a barrier, blocked my way, and started staring at me.

“It will take a while, I beg you.”

“Sigh…”

Finally, I sighed and turned my back and walked with her into the classroom.

“…what? Why is Arianne like that?”

“I don’t know, I must be crazy. Dry it quickly.”

“Leave him alone, who stopped him?”

Of course, with the classroom door wide open so that Arianne and I can be seen clearly by the commoners
who are squinting at us from the outside.
“So, what do you want to say?”

Arriving in the middle of the classroom, I asked a question with an arrogant expression on my face.

Of course, what she was going to say to me was already pictured in my head from beginning to end, but in
this case, it is more effective to pretend not to know.

“Please, please return Irina.”

After chatting for a while, Arianne closed her eyes tightly and knelt down on the floor and started talking.

“I’ll do anything I ask. If you bark like a dog, I’ll bark, if you crawl on the floor, I’ll crawl,”

Saying that, Arianne began to weep.

“Irina, come here for a moment.”

As I looked down at her calmly, I waved my hand to Irina, who was standing quietly in the distance among
the chattering crowd, and said,

“Do you know him?”

When Irina quietly entered the classroom, I raised an eyebrow and asked her a question.

“I do not know.”

Then Irina bowed her head and answered with a soulless expression.

“Hey, Irina! What the hell happened to you!”

“……..”

Then, Arianne, unable to see her, grabbed her and started shaking her, but Irina avoided Arianne’s gaze
and just did it without notice.

“I’m sorry…”

After watching the scene for a while, I grabbed Irina from Arianne and wrapped my arms around her
waist.

“…Now Irina is too heavy for me, so I don’t plan on adding more slaves.”

Having said that, I left the classroom with Irina, leaving Arianne with a blank expression behind her.

“What are you looking at? Aren’t you leaving early?”

Eventually, I drove out the commoners who had been silently watching it until then, and quietly started
walking down the hallway with Irina.

“…I think you can release your arm now, Master.”

“Ah.”

Then, when Kania started talking to me with a cold expression on her face from behind, I was shocked and
when I opened her arms, I said with a shy expression on my face.

“Uh… Kania. The peacock mansion is going to be a bit noisy for a while, will it be okay?”

“Sigh…”

After hearing that, Kania sighed for a moment, then answered with a blank expression on her face.

“I’ll try my best.”

I felt a little pity for Kania like that, so I was thinking of buying a potion to recover from fatigue, but then
Perloche suddenly appeared from behind.

I was terrified that I might have caught on to the conversation for a moment, but as she looked at me with
a sad expression, I asked with a sigh of relief.

“What else?”

“What did you do to Irina-san?”

With those words, I sighed, foreshadowing that the conversation would be long.

I guess I’ll have to stock up on a fatigue recovery potion too.

. . . . .

“Bocchan, by the way, how are you going to do the ‘Main Quest’ if you bring so many students into your
house?”

“Main quest?”

As I was heading to my duke’s mansion, which had suddenly become an outpost, in a wagon, Kania
implicitly asked me a question.

“Yeah, since it’s such a big event… I think I’ll have to prepare in advance, but if I have to take the exam by
the end of the vacation…”

“It’s okay, if it’s according to my plan in the first place, I’m going to have to raid when the case gets to the
very end. I still have time to spare.”

I replied to her with a relaxed expression, leaning on the seat of the carriage and muttering.

“Okay… everything is perfect. Everything is running fine after a long time.”

Up until now, everything has been a series of variables and accidents.

On the first day of returning, don’t you remember the main heroines’ memories… Don’t you remember
scenes you didn’t even remember… A system you don’t even know comes out…

But for now, everything is a calculation range.

He had already thought of a way to lead the commoners to victory while earning virtuous points, and the
next main quest, ‘Liberation of the Slave Market’, had been meticulously planned from the previous
episode.

Of course, as always, we cannot rule out the possibility that variables or emergencies may occur, but at
least this time, we are confident that we will respond to any situation…

“…Frey, are you really okay?”

“what?

With that in mind, Irina asked a question with a worried expression on her face.

“Can you fully handle Arianne?”

Hearing that, I sighed quietly and answered.

“…Well.”

Arianne is clearly a good person, but she doesn’t know what to do once her eyes turn.

If she wasn’t good at defense magic, but attack magic, she probably wouldn’t have the means to deal with
her.

Right now, when I left the room with Irina earlier, I felt a lot of life, so I said it all.

“Ehh… Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. As long as it’s like this…”

Rumble!

“…what?”

In the end, I was sighing as I felt that my heart, which I had been trying to comfort, was disturbed again,
when suddenly I heard a roar from the wagon and it started to slow down.

“…what’s going on?”

I frowned and carefully looked out the window, and saw a man blocking our carriage.

“There! Come out quickly! I know who the person riding here is…”

When the driver who was driving the wagon began to anger at such a man, the man in front answered
with a serious voice.

“I came to see Confucius, Frey Raon Starlight. Please forgive me for being rude because it was urgent.”

““…….!!!””

And hearing that voice, I, Kania, and Irina froze at the same time.

This is because the main character of that voice was the second person who existed as a close aide to the
Demon King in the previous episode.

“…you’re here, I’m leaving.”

“Do, master!”

“Fray!”

I hurriedly left the carriage in fear that Kania or Irina would leave anyway, and I stood in front of him in a
suit with a calm expression and asked a question.

“So, what’s going on?”

“That’s it…”

Then the second person answered with a smile.

“…I think you should follow me right now.”

“Why?”

In answer to that, I quietly put my hand to the sword on my waist and began to touch it,

“We can’t start the executive meeting without Mr. Frey’s coming.”

“What?”

Then I started to doubt my ears at the words that came out of his mouth.

“…Congratulations on becoming Chief Executive, Frey.”

I guess I’ll have to be careful with my mouth for the time being.

EPISODE 61

“What do you mean… what do you mean?”

“It’s literally. Frey Raon Starlight-sama, starting today, as the highest officer of the Demon King’s Army…”

It was so absurd that I asked the question without realizing it, and the second person started talking again
with a serious smile.

“Wait, wait, wait!”

I, who had been silently listening to his words, hurriedly cut off his words.

“Oh, that’s fine. I’ve used space magic to twist the space around me to block out the sound.”

Then the second person looked around as if there was nothing to worry about and said, and I had no
choice but to nod my head, feeling complex and subtle emotions.

“Well then, let’s go soon. Everyone is waiting for you, Frey.”

“Wait, wait a minute. Let’s send that wagon first.”

Then he grabbed my arm and tried to cast a spell, so I hurriedly backtracked, leaving the horse behind
and running to the carriage.

“Master, what the hell is this?”

“Fw, Frey! Are you okay?”

Then I opened the carriage door, and Kania and Irina began to look at me with pale and tired faces.

As expected, they also seem to remember the terrifying side of the second person in the previous round
very well.

“Guys, I’ll go somewhere for a while.”

I didn’t want to worry about them any more, so I tried to get over it and move on, but Kania hurriedly
grabbed my arm and said,

“Tell me roughly what’s going on. Otherwise, I won’t let go.”

“Uh… Me too.”

Then Irina, who was next to me, timidly grabbed my arm and muttered, and finally I whispered with a
deep sigh.

“…I became an officer in the Demon King’s Army.”

After saying that, I started walking again to the second person, leaving Kania, who looked at Irina who
grabbed my arm, and then turned into a blank expression after hearing my words, and Irina, who looked
at me with a blank expression as well, in the carriage. .

“Are you acquaintances?”

As the departed wagon rattled and disappeared in the distance, the second person in front of me tilted his
head and asked a question.

“Uh, that’s… you could say that.”

“Fray-sama, you don’t have to speak respectfully to me. Frey-san is now the highest official of the Demon
King’s Army.”

With a vague expression on my face at those words, I quickly frowned and started talking.

“Uh… But you…”

“It’s okay. You’re the top executive chosen by the Demon King himself. If you simply look at your position
in the Demon Lord’s Army, you are on the same level as me… You can speak nonsense as much as you
want.”

But after hearing the words coming out of the second person’s mouth, I muttered with a blank expression
on my face, unable to continue speaking.

“Am I… on the same level as you?”

“Hey, you seem like someone like me who is more comfortable with respectful language rather than half-
talking? Then there’s nothing you can do about it. Of course, you can use half-talk if you like.”

“I understand that, but why did I become the same as you, who was just the demon king’s nemesis? Is
there some kind of misunderstanding?”

Eventually, I began to put all my hopes on the possibility that such a ridiculous thing happened due to a
misunderstanding within the Demon King’s army, but the second person looked at me and began to speak
in a calm voice.

“He was a pretty humble man.”

“Yes?”

“But, too much humility is detrimental.”

Saying that, the second person hardened his expression, and in the end I sighed deeply and muttered.

“Well, I’ll think about what happened later… For now, I have work…”

“Then, let’s go.”

But the second person stopped me once again and snapped my fingers, and the next moment I was in the
corner of a back alley.

‘…I will turn.’

Obviously, it is true that we thought that it was within the control range for any variable or unexpected
situation, but it is still too much, isn’t it?
To become the highest commander of the Demon King’s army overnight, and that I am also a hero, on the
same level as the second in the Demon King’s army…

‘Is it a trap…?’

I thought that this could be a trap of the Demon King who suddenly noticed that I was a hero, but no
matter how much I think about it, it seems that it is not.

If you want to kill me, you just have to secretly give orders to your subordinates, why would you send me
a second-generation old man and take me with respect?

Of course, he could be trying to kill me with prudence. However, the decisive evidence is appearing before
my eyes.

[Dmir Khan’s current emotions: tension/respect/acceptance/friendliness/reassurance]

If this is some kind of operation, of course, that guy who is in the second place and even came to pick me
up can’t be ignorant of it.

However, the way he treats me now is completely friendly. So… what the second person is telling me is
very likely to be true.

If so, why did the Demon King make such a crazy choice?

‘I don’t know what it is, but the Demon King… there must be something.’

“This is it, Frey.”

“Ah yes.”

I was immersed in thought for such a long time, and at the call of the second person, I quickly moved
forward and asked a question.

“By the way… how about here?”

“This is a space created by my space domination skills. It’s located in a back alley, but you can’t get into it
by normal means.”

Hearing those words, I began to quietly walk down the alley, sticking my tongue out at the ability of the
second person.

“I think so, you can come in here.”

“Is this… a bar?”

Eventually we arrived at a shabby bar. I frowned, wondering if it was some kind of test, and the second
person said with a smile.

“Do you still see this place as a bar?”

And as soon as those words were finished, a huge underground passage, not a bar, was located in front of
me.

“…it’s an isolated space anyway, so why are you so defensive?”

“The more thorough the defense, the better. If a hero penetrates here, there will be no disappointment.”

Watching the underground passage, I asked a question to the second person out of curiosity, and he
answered with a serious expression on his face.

“A hero… you mean?”

“Literally. A hero has appeared.”

When I heard that answer, please, I was nervous, so I asked a question while joking around, and the
second person still had a serious expression on his face and started talking.

“The fight from 1000 years ago is about to be rekindled. Of course, the outcome will be different.”

“Uh… right?”

“Yes, this Demon Lord who appeared again in the world after 1000 years… he is the strongest.”
“Is it the strongest? It’s hard to get a good feel for just hearing that.”

After accepting his words, I began to ask questions with a curious face when the mention of the demon
king’s strength came out.

“How strong is the Demon King?”

“Are you talking about the Demon King’s strength now?”

Then the second person, who had been thinking for a while, whispered in a low voice.

“He erased my attacks with the click of a finger. What a great man.”

“The future of the Demon King’s army is bright.”

Hearing his words, I was spitting out swear words inwardly, even though I said good things in words.

The position of the 2nd person in the Demon King’s army is not so easy. The man next to me right now is
literally the second strongest guy in the Demon King’s Army.

But to neutralize such a man’s attack with the lift of one finger… I don’t know what the devil ate to make
him so strong.

“Let’s talk until here, and go inside. All the executives are waiting for you, Frey.”

“Yeah… Then.”

After thinking like that for a while, the second person opened the door of the aisle and started to rush me.

‘…Do you want to launch a slash as soon as you enter?’

As I walked, looking at the dark passage, I fumbled with my sword, wondering if the situation would
improve if all of the demon king’s officers were beaten here, but I quickly stopped thinking.

If the cadres are gathered, obviously the combat cadres will also be gathered.

Even if it’s ordinary executives, it’s almost impossible for the combat officers and the second person to
notice something strange and kill everyone before the penalty comes up.

“Ke-e-e-e!”

“Koooooooh!!”

With that thought in mind, I was going down the stairs with the second person, when I heard a terrible
noise from somewhere.

“What are those guys?”

“These are top-notch monsters. They are the ones guarding the entrance.”

Saying that, the second person who smiled, started stroking the black gargoyles and Cerberus that were
approaching right in front of them.

“Isn’t it really cute? Try stroking Frey-sama too.”

“Ah… I’m fine.”

I, who was staring blankly at the amazing situation where the people who would turn the whole country
upside down if they appeared in the Empire, were being petted by the second person, I urgently rejected
the second person’s offer and took a step back.

“Heh heh heh…”

“Ugh…”

Then the black Cerberus, whose eyes were shining, suddenly attacked me and started licking my face.

“It’s amazing.”

That guy has become a little cute and is stroking his hair without me knowing, and the second person who
was watching the scene with interest from the side spoke in a low voice.

“This is the first time Cerberus has not bit the face of the first person here.”
“Uh… is it?”

Hearing that, I asked with a puzzled face, and the second person who looked at me quietly on that day
threw a word at me and started going down the stairs again.

“It seems like you liked it quite a bit.”

Hearing those words, I began to stare at Cerberus, who continued to lick me with a humble expression on
my face.

“Heh… heh…”

“Okay, I guess I cheated first.”

After a while, I put honey chestnut on the guy’s head, and started saving mana as much as possible.

Cerberus’ magic eyes are specialized in detecting clean energy.

It is unacceptable for a guy with a mission to guard the entrance to a place where dirty things happen, to
let clean energy into it.

So, I should have just been attacked by Cerberus.

However, in my pocket right now, I have the Domination Stone that I always carry in my pocket in case of
an unexpected situation since the last performance evaluation kidnapping case.

So, what makes him like me is a piece of cake.

Perhaps the second person saw Cerberus warmly welcomed me and ended up judging me as a person full
of evil.

“Good job, so stop licking and stand there.”

“Cheongkyung!”

After finishing the scam, I sent Cerberus, who had been licking my face until then, to the gargoyle, and
started following the second person.

“If you open this door, it’s a secret meeting room. Are you ready?”

As a result of going down for a while, me and the second person arrived in front of a door with a fairly
complicated magic barrier.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

When I opened this door, I heard that there were executives, so I took a deep breath for a while and began
to capture the mana in my body.

Usually, it’s close to perfect, and I’m accumulating mana so that it can generate explosive power, but if it’s
an officer of the Demon King’s army… even if it’s a battle officer, the story is wrong.

These guys don’t know when they’ll put a knife in my back, so the more I fight, the more I need to be
prepared.

“Okay, that’s it. Now let’s go in.”

After saving my mana with all my heart and soul for such a long time, I spoke to the second person next to
me in a calm voice.

“Please call me ‘Dmir Khan’ over there, Frey.”

Then the second person, who was slowly approaching the door, broke the barrier and spoke to me in a low
voice.

Of course, he knew about his pseudonym, but he did not show it and nodded, so the barrier disappeared
in an instant and the door began to slowly open.

“Everyone, I hope that you will be greeted with a big round of applause. This is Frey Raon Starlight, who
has been appointed as the highest officer of the Demon King’s Army as of today.”

When the door was fully opened, Dmir Khan spoke in a polite voice, and after a while applause began to
be heard from within.
