Link –

I’ve analyzed everything from the Magic Administration to the Association Union, and they say there’s never been magic power of her level before

When she invaded the Administration last time, the Director met her directly, you know? After the Director confirmed the conversation records, they’re still spreading now

The news and government are in an uproar too, yeah

Honestly, I think that red wing alone already reveals everything

The traces of taking two large artillery hits during the massacre battles are clearly visible, who’s going to argue it’s not her now?

And, most importantly.

It’s great that we can shut up those bastards stirring up whether it’s Aureli or not!!!

[1] Fuck

ㄴ Lololol so brief but impactful lol

[2] It’s not Aureli

ㄴ [Original Poster] Then what are you gonna do lolol What can you do lolol Other than trembling at home and masturbating, what can you do lolol

ㄴ The trolls were disgusting but this is savage lolol

[3] But I’m not that worried. In the past I’d be concerned just seeing her on the news yeah

ㄴ Seems like the Association is negotiating well somehow?

ㄴ It’s been over a year and some months since she caused any terror. Honestly, at this point it feels safe

[4] I think there’s a reason it was reported late. The high-level officials probably already knew

ㄴ Judging by how limited the reporting is, it seems Aureli-related matters are being kept secret. Looks like she’s reached the level of negotiation

ㄴ I’m actually more scared because we really don’t know what she does normally

[Aureli?]

“……Yes.”

The voice of Lindergel, the Association President, over the phone seemed never to have been so dark.

[It’s really like she’s become a different person……]

“She’s not a person, though.”

[……Right, that’s true.]

The fact that Aureli, who was male, had changed into a female spread widely. Some said that the Association and government reporting this fact were spouting nonsense, but most citizens seemed to believe it.

Isn’t it ‘that Aureli’? Many opined that for her, who had single-handedly faced high-ranking officials of the Association and government, who had swept away all the spirit realm extermination troops that invaded the human realm, the fact that she turned into a woman was believable even as a joke.

Seeing her come back perfectly fine after having her heart pierced and limbs torn apart multiple times, turning into a woman doesn’t seem strange?

Moreover, when it was revealed that she had directly invaded the Gyeonggi-do branch and introduced herself as Aureli, it didn’t take long for it to become an established fact that the silver-haired girl was her.

Even her past huge characteristic, the massive red wings, matched the circumstances.

Of course, this news couldn’t be anything but earth-shattering for Lindergel.

Stop talking shit! She’s dead! Dead! Disappearing for a year and now what, she shows up?

Erica recalled hearing that he kept saying things like “I can’t do this,” “I’ll resign as Association President and commit suicide,” and lived like a shut-in, holed up in his house for several weeks.

As a result, rumors spread that his relationship with the directors had soured due to the piled-up work he had to process.

Erica didn’t know it was so easy for a person to go crazy.

Unlike Lindergel’s past calm voice, after it was proven that the girl was Aureli, it seemed she only saw him in an excited state.

[What on earth is she plotting? She’s only shown friendly behavior since she started frequenting the Association? Has the crazy bastard finally become a crazy bitch?]

“They say she becomes docile with just one cake……”

And cigarettes.

[Are you alright? I’m really sorry to say this, but didn’t you say you went out together for group exterminations recently?]

“I’m fine. We’ve completely cleared out all the detected groups.”

[With Aureli?]

“……Yes.”

A moment of silence fell.

[That crazy bitch didn’t do anything?]

“Before that, there were a few hostage situations, and…..”

Erica paused. All that woman who committed massacres had done was capture a few citizens as hostages and talk with her. Moreover, her subsequent actions were as if Erica was her purpose, as she obediently let them go.

It was hard to see it as an action to gain advantage. What is advantageous to Aureli in the first place?

Had she ever thought about such things even once?

“There were a few battles. I always lost…..”

Crunch.

[Is that so? Are you alright?]

A surprised tone came back.

“Yes. Every time I passed out from severe injuries, she took me to the Association hospital. Several times.”

[…..Why on earth?]

Because I’m pretty.

“……I don’t know.”

[……Well, she’s a ticking time bomb that could go off anywhere. I really can’t fathom what’s in her brain. It’s really fortunate.]

Anyway, with the outside still in an uproar, it was a great relief that Aureli was cooperating with the Association.

[I think you’ll know from hearing from the Director, but signs of a Gate are showing again. I’d appreciate it if you could help out.]

“It’s my job, so. It’s fine.”

If things are going to get tangled anyway, in this overly friendly situation. If done well, we might be able to persuade Aureli to contribute to Association work.

[Please bear with it a little longer. Once this matter passes, we plan to contact the Magic Administration and Union.]

“Is that side going smoothly?”

[We’ll see. If they say they’ll cut us off, I’ll blow everything to the media.]

Although she knew that the higher-ups were discussing Aureli’s assassination, suddenly, Erica felt worried.

Would she really die obediently? Could the hunters and Association Rankers kill her?

If they fail, if they all end up annihilated.

And if she meets her death like that too.

Is there nothing but dying lonely?

What about her younger sister? Her happiness?

Erica hung up the phone and let out a dejected sigh.

When I opened my eyes in the dim house, the first thing I felt was heaviness.

After coughing continuously, I put a cigarette in my mouth and lit it. Bright red smoke spread widely and covered the area.

The lower floor was good for feeling cozy and warm, but with those hurried steps, all I could do was barely reach a house and pass out.

Thinking positively, it was on the better side.

Because I’m feeling pleasure from her.

Ah, is this no different from a beast?

[This is it for today, Aureli. Swallow it slowly.]

“Thanks.”

I lit some incense and poured the pill into my mouth. I had to swallow slowly so my body could accept it easily.

And then a sip of water, a light meal, and bread.

I’m tired of bread too. I want to drink coffee. Americano.

Sweet things don’t suit my taste. Both Erica and Seran seemed to like sweet things, but I liked bitter things.

Astringent things. Numbing things.

Cutting off my thoughts and turning my gaze, I saw letters gathering to form a sentence.

And the glow beginning.

2. 10 pieces of Dracula reinforced skin.

Dracula?

My knowledge of magical beasts isn’t very broad, but Dracula is a bit different.

They play the role of top predators living in the upper layers of Gates.

Reinforced skin, huh.

Among the skin of those small demon-shaped beings with wings, it probably refers to the particularly dark and hard skin.

Of course, you can obtain it by killing them.

This too, if I stick to Erica….. Most of the work of Association hunters is conquering Gates that are generated at all times.

It feels like it fits the plan. Thanks to this, I can also help her adapt to the magic power I injected into her.

With the cigarette in my mouth, I left the house. There’s somewhere I need to go before meeting Erica.

After passing through several alleys, I stepped onto the street. Standing in front of a dark building, everyone seemed to recognize me.

“Welcome.”

The magic herb smuggling area I came to before. I’m here partly to get incense since I ran out, but what I really want is something else.

Following men in suits up into the building, I saw a man grinning. He was holding a paper bag in his hand.

“Wow, thank you. You’ve already prepared it?”

“Oh no, not at all! This is nothing! For a regular customer like you, haha.”

“I stopped by because I have something to ask. The incense is just a bonus.”

Smiling slightly, I sat down on the lobby sofa. A small chandelier hanging from the ceiling dyed the dim interior in crimson.

“Please just say the word! We’ll mobilize all our personnel to…..”

“Is it because I’ve become famous? Lately, leeches keep following me.”

“Leeches….. You mean?”

When I walk the night streets, I feel a few people following me. It was annoying so I killed them each time, but I’m quite suspicious, you see.

“From what I saw, they didn’t seem to be wearing Association uniforms. There was an emblem with two crossed swords.”

“Ah, if it’s that emblem, it sounds like the Union.”

The Union, huh.

“We have a friend here who used to belong there, shall I call him?”

“I’d appreciate that.”

“Please wait a moment.”

Looking towards where the man disappeared, I stood in front of the coffee machine visible ahead.

[Hand it over.]

“Now you’re boldly giving orders, huh.”

You were always like that. Even at our first meeting, you were insufferably arrogant.

Why did I save you? Because I was lonely? Or for a moment’s amusement?

As we spent time together, I couldn’t help but realize you were actually a gentle spirit.

Even though I treated you coldly as usual, after discovering this sickly body of mine, you didn’t hesitate to be kind to me.

Sickly, huh.

That gaze was like sympathy.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

There’s no way Erica will discover this body,

I just need to keep appearing as if I’m tormenting her.

Sipping coffee and looking at the floating Bloody, I turned my eyes to the voice.

“I heard you called for me.”

“Thank you for coming all the way here. There are just a few things I want to know.”

I smiled at the man who bowed his head politely.

The first was what kind of place it is.

“It’s like a group that gathers wandering hunters and other non-affiliated awakened ones who aren’t part of the government or Association.”

“What’s their relationship with the Association?”

“Under government guidelines, they’re supposed to cooperate in emergency situations, but. Being a profit-seeking group, there were quite a few movements trying to steal each other’s achievements.”

How detailed. He must have been an executive or something.

“If I may dare to say, it seems they’ve been tracking Aureli-nim to gather information, and they plan to pounce when the opportunity arises.”

It’s fine if I’m the only one being targeted. I can just take a few hostages. But if that happens when I’m with Erica….. I’ll have no choice but to kill them all.

Right? I want to spend more precious time together. I don’t have the luxury to pay attention to other things.

Will Erica stop me? She’s part of the Association? From their standpoint, isn’t it beneficial if a rival-level group like the Union gets crushed?

I’ll only know for sure when the situation arises. Our righteous girl who values human life might throw her whole body to stop it.

This is troublesome.

“Thank you. You can go in now.”

“I hope you stay safe.”

I got up from my seat with a grin.

It was time to go see Erica.
