episode_0031

When I told Anne to abandon religion, she was visibly embarrassed.

“No.. why are you doing that.. why religion..”

I hesitated for a moment because I felt like I was taking away a toy that had been given to me as a gift from a child, but I did not waver because I had already made up my mind.

“… I’ll tell you when I throw it away. Not now.”

“… Ah.. I understand..”

As I dragged Ann, who had become sullen, by the hand, he shouted something behind her.

I ignored the cries and headed to the principal’s office.

It is highly likely that the principal knows how to give up religion.

My thoughts were correct.

“It’s simple. You just need to have someone you believe in more than the God you believe in now.”

Giving up religion was simpler and more difficult than I thought.

Because it’s not that easy to trust someone more than God.

“Who does the principal trust?”

I felt stupid asking that question.

Of course an elf would believe in the World Tree.

Why are you asking this question?

“I believe in myself.”

“.. You mean yourself, not the world tree?”

“Shouldn’t you believe in yourself more?”

“.. Are all elves like that?”

“I guess it’s just me.”

The principal seems to be unusual among elves.

More than that, I’m worried about Ann.

If there is someone around me who I trust more than God, I will decide whether to abandon it or not.

But there are trustworthy people around Anne…

“.. It looks like it was abandoned..”

“.. eh?”

I guess there was.

I was curious and asked who it was, and he blushed and said no way! shouting.

I was a little upset because they didn’t tell me, but whatever.

All I had to do was abandon religion.

“Oh! I really abandoned you.. What did I do?.. I guess I really trust that person a lot.”

“That. Is that so..?”

I am sure because I listened to what the principal said.

There is no need to hide Anne Hantae anymore.

If that’s the case, you can use your power without hesitation, so there won’t be any trouble.

“Would you like a ride while you’re here? I have mint tea.”

“It’s good as long as you don’t add chocolate.”

“I don’t put things like that.”

“Well.. I put chocolate in it..”

No, just cross the line for a moment.

“Ann.. eat mint chocolate?”

“.. that delicious..”

“… Would you like to say that again? Because I can’t hear well.”

“There is no taste..”

“Yes, I guess I heard wrong.”

Even if it is an abuse of power, this is not acceptable.

‘Mint chocolate crossed the line… eating mint chocolate right in front of my eyes…’

I drank the mint tea that came out quickly and thought about the future.

First of all, since he had a master/slave relationship with Anne, it was easy to advise him to give up religion, but it was difficult for Bea and the others.

Still, I decided to say it first.

We also need to think about what to do with Solar.

A servant who suddenly appeared.

Even their status is not low.

If she were to become the duke’s servant, good rumors would not spread.

Considering these things, I tried to get the servant to quit, but it ended in complete failure.

Now, one of two things remains.

Either make the servant quit now or make him on my side.

You shouldn’t think for a long time.

I have to decide now and go.

While I was lost in thought for a while, the principal suddenly asked me a question.

“Now that I think about it, Mr. Berador?”

“.. What’s going on, principal?”

“What is Berador’s goal?”

And that question stuck in my head.

‘What do I want to do?’

Why are you trying to become stronger?

Why are you avoiding the gods?

Why why..

Why do you want revenge on Eros?

‘Eros is like me…’

What did I do wrong?

I don’t remember.

Only the anger toward Eros remains, along with a feeling of disconnection as if the memories of what happened have disappeared.

There is probably only one person who knows the reason for all of this.

‘..Eros..’

You have to meet that goddess.

But how.

“Ugh..!”

“Berrador County?”

“Master?”

That was when I thought I had to meet Eros again.

I lost consciousness as new memories surfaced.

**

“This place.. Ugh!”

As I was turning my head to look around the gray surroundings, I felt pain in my abdomen.

When I looked down, I saw that there was a black knife stuck in my abdomen, and my back was wet as if it was wet with water.

It didn’t take long to figure out that this was a memory and my body.

But there is something I just don’t understand.

“Eros..”

I spoke on my own.

It was clearly my voice.

“Lastly.. I want to see you..”

‘You want to see Eros?’

I’ve never died, but I know that much.

At least I’m going to die in a little while.

The last person you want to see before you die is Eros?

At that time, as if it had heard my voice, a ray of light came down from the sky.

“Jeong Yong-ha..?”

‘.. Jeong Yong-ha?’

Calling me a strange name, Eros looked at me and hurriedly ran towards me.

“Hello Eros..”

“Jeong Yong-ha!!”

Eros came towards me, who had been stabbed in the abdomen and collapsed, and when he saw blood flowing out, he placed his hand on me.

“sanésco!!”

Golden mana swayed and seeped into the wound.

The pain decreased along with the warming sensation, but the bleeding remained the same.

“Even if you use healing magic… it’s already too late…”

“Don’t say it!”

Eros is trying to stop the blood flowing from the wound with his hand, and I am putting my hand on top of his hand.

“I’m sorry, Eros..”

“No! You can’t die!.. I said I wouldn’t die! Let’s live together.. that’s what I said..”

He spoke as if he had already given up, holding Eros’ hand with one hand and wiping away the tears that were flowing with the other.

“Don’t cry.. I heard you’re prettier when you smile..”

“Why.. Why do you have to die.. They were the ones who did wrong, so why did you..”

‘They..?’

Another person appeared in the conversation, but I couldn’t tell who it was.

Gradually, my vision starts to blur.

‘..I’m dying…’

“Ah!”

Then, Eros seemed to have suddenly remembered something and was holding down the air.

“Just a little while.. Just a little while! If it’s the power of immortality…”

“Eros..”

As I speak, I feel pain as if my lungs are being torn apart.

-Two… almost…

I can feel my heart beating weakly.

My vision becomes blurrier and the pain becomes fainter.

“Don’t say it! wait! I will save it somehow…”

“I’m sorry..”

-two….

My heart stopped.

However, he forced his still mouth to move and expelled the remaining air from his lungs.

“I love you..”

At the same time, my perspective changed.

So that you can see my body too.

“Don’t say it… Yongha..?”

“…”

“Hey.. don’t play around.. Jeong Yong-ha… Jeong Yong-ha!!”

“…”

“Wake up quickly!! It’s the immortality you so desperately wanted!”

“…”

As I look at Eros like that, I feel my anger towards her fading away.

“I’m sorry.. I’m sorry.. So please open your eyes..”

“Huh? Jeong Yong-ha.. He said that we should live happily together.. If this is over.. He said he would definitely do that..”

“How could you do this to me! Open your eyes, Jeong Yong-ha!!”

“Please.. open your eyes.. I’m sorry..”

Eros, who had been crying for a while, hugs my body and sobs.

And I watched it all.

It’s a situation where I can’t believe it’s acting.

Confused thoughts cannot be organized.

What is the anger towards Eros and what is this scene now?

Those thoughts were interrupted by Eros’ murmur.

“… Without you… I have no reason to live…”

Golden mana begins to accumulate over her and my corpse.

“Hey Yongha.. Do you remember when we first met?”

‘When I first met Eros…’

I don’t remember.

How did you meet?

“Suddenly appears and says ‘No! When I got hit by a truck, I said, ‘It’s a different world?’”

‘What do you mean… truck? ‘A different world?’

“When I approach you, you confess to me, right? When I say no, they yell at me to send it back.”

‘..I said that?’

It seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the facts.

“It was really nice… but I was also jealous of that silver-haired girl who was with you.”

You probably mean Bea.

“Even when I felt lonely seeing him with the red-haired girl.”

This time, Agnes Iltae High School.

“I was laughing with another woman when I saw them appear and get dragged away…”

‘..another woman..?’

“Everything was good.. Because you brought back the feelings that had faded away..”

The golden mana that was accumulating gradually became a large sphere and filled the surrounding area.

“I love you too…”

-Quaaa!!!!!

It began to spread around.

No, it was trying to spread.

– Coo coo coo coo coo!!!

Space became distorted and time began to flow in reverse.

I, who had come out like a soul, was sucked back into the body, and the speed of returning became faster and faster.

The dead dragon comes back to life and the fallen world tree is rebuilt.

After passing the academy, I went to the mansion where I was born.

And when I opened my eyes again.

We arrived at a place we had never seen before.

He is wearing what looks like an academy uniform and has something strange tied to his back.

There are straight white lines on the floor, sometimes yellow.

-Baaa!!

A blue object is rushing towards me.

“Hey!!”

“Jeong Yong-ha! Come to your senses!!”

I heard someone’s voice behind me and was pushed forward.

-Kwasik.

A sound like something being crushed was heard.

“Pfft…”

I looked back while falling forward.

“Ah…”

I saw my friends lying bleeding, their bodies twisted strangely.

“Back..”

Memories came back.

and.

It seemed.

“Found it.. Jeong Yong-ha..”

Eros, who was crying while hugging my corpse just a moment ago.

“How about it? Do you want to meet Yongha again?”

“Of course..”

“Then everything that is by his side.”

“…”

“Kill.”

And there is another Eros floating next to her, encouraging Eros.

Almost everything was the same as Eros, but the hair color was different.

Unlike Eros’ hair, which shimmers in various colors, his hair is so dark that it swallows up even the light.

But Eros does not look at Black Eros, as if he cannot see it.

I just say it as if I’m talking to myself.

“Ah.. I can’t do it..”

“Something doesn’t work. You are God.”

‘.. Do you think you are fighting with your inner self..’

I am looking at the Eros that says it shouldn’t be like that and the black Eros that says it should be like that.

The scene has changed.

The voice of my parents calling me from outside while I was lying in bed.

‘.. It’s my brother’s birthday..’

There’s no way you don’t know what’s going on.

This is a situation that has played out in my head thousands of times.

This time, Eros is lying next to me, and Black Eros is whispering next to Eros.

“Okay, I guess I can kill him this time. Jeong Yong-ha doesn’t have to die.”

“But.. you can’t do that..”

“.. Now! Eight!”

Black Eros entered Eros’ body and his body began to turn black.

And then the scene changed.

On the plane with my family on board.

Eros, whose body was taken over by Black Eros, used his powers inside the plane.

-Cow wow..

It crashed just like that.

“Uh…”

“Yes, good job. If you do this, you will be able to meet Yongha faster.”

“Ah.. no!!”

Eros quickly sent golden mana and saved everyone except three.

“Tsk.. But Yongha’s parents are dead?”

“Ah… Yongha.. I’m sorry…”

I saw Eros kneeling in despair and Black Eros looking at her, and then I moved on to the next scene.

The process and results were always the same.

Black Eros takes Eros’ body and commits a crime.

Eros blames himself, thinking he did it himself.

Then, the more work and time was taken from the body, the longer it took.

I did not die because Eros continued to surround me.

Black Eros, who was looking for an opportunity, eventually succeeded in killing me.

The owner of the body changed again and the scene changed.

A familiar room with pure white everywhere.

And the small light I saw when I first arrived.

“Hello! Nice to meet you!”

The golden mana of Eros was flowing out of that light called Light.

“Nice to meet you.”

From Eros.

“I am Eros, the goddess of love.”

A frighteningly terrifying black magic energy was flowing out.

That scene was the last thing I remembered.
