episode_0072

Right after the last class ended.

Looking down at Sarah’s still empty seat, I smiled slightly.

‘In the end, this is what happened.’

After thinking about it for a while, I pictured Sarah heading to the health room in my head, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

Hermel, who was sitting next to me, tilted his head when I suddenly laughed.

“Why are you smiling so suddenly? Did you think it was something fun?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“Aha… … . I feel good because class is over!”

I got it, you idiot. I smiled and nodded at the sight of Hermel grinning.

Even if you say no, they won’t listen, so it’s better to just say no. If you say no for no reason, the story will only get longer and you will be tired.

After shrugging it off like that, I was on my way back to the dormitory.

“Ah, Charles. Now that I think about it. Lately, you haven’t seen that guy who’s been following you around, like Mel or something?”

“Ah, is that what you mean? Because something happened in the family. Since I couldn’t go to my parents’ house, I sent a message.”

“Hmm… … . okay? What else can I say?”

Hermel answered harshly, but he could guess what was going to happen after those vague words, so he chuckled.

I thought he threw it away because he was tired of it――I guess he wanted to say the same thing. It’s obvious even without looking.

Well, I also lived a longer life as an aristocrat, so I didn’t feel particularly bad about that reaction. Have you ever heard a friend say something like, ‘You have very unique tastes’?

“What are you doing for dinner tonight?”

“I don’t really have any thoughts. I guess I ate too much at lunch.”

“Okay, whatever. If Charles is like that, then so be it.”

Hermel said and shrugged his shoulders.

As we talked about various things, we arrived at the room, and Hermel roughly threw the bag containing the books on the bed and turned his back to us.

“Then I’ll come back after eating!”

“Are you in a hurry today?”

“The snack is called pudding. Then let’s go!”

If you just look at Hermel… … . What can I say, it’s the kids’ taste.

I shook my head and took the books out of my bag and put them away, when I heard a clicking sound.

“Who is it? Hermel?”

No answer came back. I felt like I knew who it was, but I didn’t want to open the door until I answered, so I started sorting out my books again.

Not long after that, there was a knock on the door, and I asked who it was just like before.

And this time.

[Ah, lady… … .]

Sarah’s wet voice came from beyond the door.

The human spirit does not break down that easily. This is especially true if there is an object or person that supports it.

If so, you would usually think like this. Isn’t it true that the more supports there are, the stronger the spirit becomes?

The correct answer is ‘no’.

The fact that there are many places to lean on means that you cannot stand alone, and the story of being surrounded by people means that when people disappear and you stand alone, you easily break down.

During the 14th episode, I went crazy and started randomly killing people and got my head cut off on a guillotine. In the next episode, I moved to find out why my mind was broken.

First of all, he knew that he would die if he went crazy like in the last episode, so for safety’s sake, he took over as head of the family, built a small villa on the outskirts of the territory, and began kidnapping people and conducting experiments on them.

He kidnapped the two closest young men in the village, brought them in, blindfolded them, and tortured them until they were about to die.

[Your friend sold you for money.]

[Do not be ridiculous! Terry can’t do that! That guy, that guy is my friend!!]

[Then why can’t you hear your friend’s voice? If you were captured along with me, your friend would definitely be being tortured as well. Why can’t I just hear your friend’s voice?]

[No, no… … !]

[You were deceived.]

They torture you until you lose your mind, and when you come back to your senses, they torture you until you lose your mind again. The torture that started when the sun rose and ended only after the sun set, was repeated for two days.

[Fuck… … ! Fuck fuck fuck… … !!!]

After confirming that the young man’s reason had completely collapsed, I guided him to a friend.

[James… … ! You suck… … !]

[I’m dying!!!!]

The young man who was being tortured went crazy with rage and stabbed another friend to death, and the young man who was stabbed by a friend he trusted died with a look on his face, not knowing why this had happened.

What was on the face of my friend who was stabbed was not betrayal, anger, or sadness. All that was contained was a question that I did not understand.

Why was it a question rather than a feeling of betrayal? The answer came sooner than expected.

This is because the young man who was stabbed really knew nothing. I wasn’t cornered, I was just quietly locked in my room, so how could I possibly know what was going on?

[James… … . why… … ?]

Of course, the young man who was stabbed died, and the young man who had been fuming for a while realized what he had done and started going crazy while holding his dead friend in his arms.

Of course, it was all out of my interest. Because it wasn’t the result I wanted.

[Aaaah!!!]

Realizing that my experiment method was wrong, I completely lost my mind and killed the young man who was shaking the iron cage trying to kill me. Then, I kidnapped a new person and started experimenting with a new method.

What was kidnapped this time was a pair of lovers. A little different this time. They were assigned to different rooms, one was starved and the other was given half a loaf of bread and watched as they progressed.

As time passed, one side became more vicious, and one side strengthened its will by trusting and waiting for the other.

It’s been about a month and a half. One of them completely lost his temper, and when he thought it was okay, he put them in the same room and brought them each a piece of bread and a stone. OK–

[sleep… … !!]

[Ugh!!]

puck–!

[it hurts! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!]

[It’s mine! It’s mine!!]

[Share, I will share! They said they were giving it away!! Ahhh!!]

puck–!!

[ah… … eww… … .]

[Gaaa!!!]

Knock――!!

The hungry one hit the less hungry one on the head with a stone and killed him, then ate the bread to himself.

The one eating the bread didn’t care at all that his lover was dying and hit the stone with the bread in his mouth, while the other one stared at the other with a face broken by betrayal, resentment, and all kinds of negative emotions.

okay. That’s it. That’s exactly what I felt. I wanted to see the sense of betrayal and injustice so severe that bloody tears flowed.

[This is not enough… … . We need a little more, a little more data… … .]

Once again, I kidnapped someone, tortured them, used them in an experiment, and recorded everything about the experiment.

When is a person’s spirit the strongest, when is it the weakest, to what extent does it break down, and what can be done to restore a broken spirit. When do you despair and when do you have hope?

The experiment continued until the residents of the territory, who felt strange, started a riot to save themselves, and when they realized that the culprit was me, they surrounded the villa and screamed.

[Witch bitch!!]

[Come out!! Come out and receive God’s judgment!!]

[Give me back my son!!!]

They made quite a fuss, throwing stones at the villa’s windows and climbing over the wall.

[The time has come.]

I committed suicide by holding my head with both hands and using the maximum lightning magic I could use to completely burn my brain.

I was worried that I might lose my memory, but fortunately, the knowledge I had accumulated still remained in my head, and thanks to that, I have been able to use it until now.

Carrots and sticks, gaslighting, indifference, etc. I squeezed and shook the other person to the point where they didn’t break, so they had no choice but to lean on me. The result was Sarah.

If there wasn’t an ambush named Seria, Seria would still be living like a dog under me.

‘No, if it weren’t for Seria, I would have leaned on someone else.’

As I was talking, the story got a little lost, but anyway, this is what I wanted to say.

As the saying goes, you can go anywhere as long as you go to Seoul. Things got a little messy, but in the end, all the plans came together and we went back.

I was abandoned by my fellow students, and even by Seria, my newfound support, who left me behind. A situation has come where all the people who protected him have fallen away and he has to stand alone.

But now I have become too weak to stand alone. It looks like it will break if you touch it even a little. So what should I do?

It should be returned to its original owner.

“So, why did Sarah, who had been absent for a while, come to visit me?”

I asked that while sitting at the desk.

Despite my questions, Sarah just trembled and lowered her head.

If things continue like this, Hermel will probably come back before Sarah opens her mouth… … . I can’t help it.

“Shall I guess?”

Sarah, who flinched and trembled, raised her head. I smiled brightly at Sarah.

“Don’t you want to say that you want to be my maid again?”

Now it’s time to come.
