“How did you get that look…?”

“Hmm, you know what happened. Are you looking away from reality?”

That’s the face from back then.

When you come back after being hit by Carlchad, apply some medicine.

Returning the items stolen by Clavel.

Gerald even hid it when he found it.

-Don’t worry, Princess. Your talent will surely blossom someday.

The nanny who would pat Natia’s head and encourage her whenever she was being bullied.

She was the woman who gave Elin a small breath of life as she died day by day.

“Have you forgotten the promise you made when you were young? I meant it.”

The nanny said this when she was kicked out.

-Don’t worry, Princess. We will meet again someday, for sure.

Creepy.

I got goosebumps.

At the time, I thought he was trying to reassure Elin.

“Hehe, do you remember?”

That wasn’t it.

The devil’s whispers.

I’ve been completely fooled up until now.

“… Since when?”

“Since when? You’re not asking about the time I existed. I was by your side… .”

Gernom raised the corners of his lips in a smirk.

It was a mean smile that didn’t match the kind nanny’s face.

“From the beginning?”

“… … No.”

Ellen denied it without realizing it.

That can’t be true.

At some point it was clear that the nanny had been eaten.

So when was Gernom released?

Clearly, in history, the two generations of the family were sealed… .

“Hmm, you’re still naive. Do you believe the Bertain history book written by the Bertain family head?”

“What?”

“Excuse me, sir. Can I tell you everything?”

Gernom chuckled and slapped Carlchad on the cheek.

“… Even if you say no, it’s meaningless, right?”

“Correct! Now, the lord has become more perceptive?”

Gernom laughs heartily.

The same expression as when he praised Elin.

-You did really well, Princess! See, you can do it!

Ellen’s stomach lurched.

“Let me put it simply.”

“… Don’t say that with that face.”

“That won’t do. How many years have I waited for this moment?”

Gernom giggled as if he was dying from laughter.

“Ta-da! I’ve never been sealed before! I haven’t told anyone in hundreds of years, are you surprised?”

“… … ”

“Aren’t you really surprised? Your reaction isn’t that great.”

Gernom tilted his head with a disappointed expression.

“It’s never been sealed…?”

“Ah, you didn’t understand? I wasn’t sealed by the second generation, I made a contract. Long ago… .”

Gernom, who used to tell old stories to his granddaughter with a kind voice.

Bam!

He continued, stepping on Carlchad’s back.

“I sealed Bertain, who was a thorn in my eye, along with the second generation of the family.”

Up to this point, I had heard the story from Bertain.

“But when it was over, he came back and started whining? He said he was under the dragon’s curse, and asked me to take it off.”

Kuk.

Gernom put strength into his feet.

Carl Chad could not hold back the blood.

“Keuh-eok… .”

“Those annoying humans. Those filthy bastards who can’t even solve a single curse… … I thought so, but then I had a funny thought.”

Exactly.

Gernom snapped his fingers.

“I gave you two choices.”

He spread out his index and middle fingers.

“First, the second generation head of the family takes on all the curses and saves the rest.”

“… … ”

“Hey, can you already guess what’s next?”

I knew what I chose without even having to listen.

If I had chosen the first one, Elin wouldn’t have had that curse.

“That’s right. The second generation chose the second. Instead of being given a powerful talent for generations, only one person! One person in the family will be cursed.”

“… … Is that me?”

“Yes! At that time, I asked the youngest to pass the curse down to him. You cruel bastard!”

Bam! Bam!

Gernom laughed heartily and kicked the knife away.

The second generation of the family died a long time ago, leaving behind a legacy of sin.

Instead, they needed someone to get hit.

“At first I thought it would be fun. But what the heck? The cursed youngest ones are dying too soon?”

You can’t survive long with a curse that eats away at your mana hearts.

Not being able to use mana and aura isn’t the only problem.

Other families who received talent soared.

But the youngest ones were always struggling on the ground.

“They took their own lives. Up to 4 generations?”

Whether intentional or not.

The youngest children, who suffered from comparison and frustration their entire lives, ended their own lives.

“That’s when I realized. Humans are weaker than I thought.”

What Gernom wanted to see was not a doll dying helplessly.

I wanted to see a ‘human’ who realized the truth, burned with a desire for revenge, and fell into despair.

“That’s why I started taking care of them. If you give them a little hope, they’ll try to survive somehow!”

The puzzle is falling into place.

The nanny also did not speak to the other servants.

The reason why I always held on to Elin whenever she wanted to give up.

It was all the devil’s trick.

“How do you feel, hearing the truth? Despair? Anger? Disappointment? Resignation? Tell me quickly, quickly.”

Elin felt Gernom’s voice fading away.

Ding-

My head feels like it’s going to burst.

“――!”

But Luke shouted something from the side.

I didn’t hear a single thing.

I realized that day.

That a feeling of extreme betrayal turns your mind blank.

Elin, her sense of reason erased, followed her instincts.

What I want to do now is.

“… I’m going to kill you.”

It was to eliminate the root of all evil.

* * * * *

Elin’s empty eyes.

A voice that makes the surrounding temperature drop.

“Khahahahaha! This is it! I’ve been waiting for hundreds of years for this! Now, kill me with all your might!”

Gernom, who even forgot the nanny’s tone of speech.

He spread his arms wide in joy.

Woohoo-!!

A massive amount of magical power emanating from Elin’s body.

The atmosphere vibrates.

An enormous murderous intent stabs Gernom’s chest.

“Okay, what should we do―”

Phew-!

Before Gernom could even finish his sentence, his head exploded.

however.

Slowly… .

“Hah, hahaha!”

The hair that grew out quickly makes people laugh.

The nanny’s face was replaced by the head of a gaunt man.

Kwajik!

Elin immediately started firing magic.

Kkukkuk.

My arm is twisted.

Crunch!

My legs are broken.

Phew!

The ship is compressed.

It was the best possible attack, distorting space.

Slowly… .

Each time, Gernom would regenerate infinitely.

The old man’s trembling legs grew.

A short child’s arm sprouted.

A solid abs replaced the stomach.

A grotesque appearance, as if a person had been pieced together.

Kwaaak.

Elin ignored him and continued to fire her magic.

If you don’t die, just keep hitting it with magic power until you die.

“Just a moment, Your Majesty.”

But Luke felt something strange.

The more you play, the more magical power Elin uses.

That meant that Gernom’s body was becoming stronger enough to require more magical power.

“It’s getting stronger! Hold on for a moment! ”

Luke shook Elin’s body.

Nothing came to Elin, who was consumed by anger.

“Ahhh… please break it a little more, a little more?”

Let Gernom speak in a nanny’s tone.

Wood crunch!

“Kkeuhaa… … .”

The attacks became more intense.

It’s getting weirder and more solid.

It has already moved far from human form.

Appearance is like a human chimera.

Leo also realized that something was wrong.

“Luke. You have to stop.”

“I know. But I can’t seem to hear anything.”

Should I slap him on the cheek?

I thought about that for a moment.

I gave up soon after.

I couldn’t bring myself to hit Elin, and it wasn’t for the same soft reasons.

Kukukukukuku…!

Right now, Elin is in a rage mode like I’ve never seen before.

It was running a much higher fever than when Luke ran away.

If you try to slap someone right now, your hand might just get crushed.

“… This is driving me crazy.”

In the end, only one method emerged.

Luke hesitated several times, wondering if this was really right.

side.

He kissed Elin.

“… … !”

The attack has stalled.

Luke continued the kiss without missing a beat.

Overlapping lips.

Gently scan the teeth.

The mouth opens wider and wider.

Stick your tongue out.

The soft tongue mixes and the sweet taste spreads.

There are no excuses anymore.

Luke kissed Elin of his own volition.

“… … !?”

Elin, the light returning to her eyes.

I was so surprised I almost bit Luke’s tongue.

I barely managed to hold it in.

Luke felt Elin’s mind return and slowly fell.

“Pooha… .”

“… Ah.”

Ellen let out a sigh of regret.

Enough to temporarily calm down the anger that had just exploded at Gernom.

The kiss Luke gave me was ecstatic.

“Ahhh… Ugh…! Is this love? Did you win with love again?”

Gernom interjected with an excited voice.

“How much are you planning on getting me excited, Elin? Look at this, look at this. Can you see how hard it is?”

Gernom pointed to his bulging lower body.

But the upper body was that of a nanny, revealing her curves.

The lower body was destroyed and then regenerated into a male one.

“… … Disgusting.”

Elin, who had regained her senses, thought calmly.

Partial compression does not prevent playback.

What if we just crush it all?

Woof-!

I ran straight away.

“Gernom.”

Kalchad sensed that a different form of attack was coming.

“It’s dangerous. You should step back now.”

Become a human chair.

But I endured the pain of my limbs flying away.

It would have been a problem if Gernom had disappeared like this.

If Elin were to attack him now, all of Kalchad’s plans would fall apart.

“Shut up.”

“But… .”

Boom-!

Gernom blew off the head of the chattering Calchad.

“I told you to shut up. Huh? Don’t you know how important this moment is?”

Boom! Kwaang!

They made a mess of it so that I couldn’t even get up.

Even though they removed the heart, it was still a cruel act.

“Keep going, Elin. You have to finish me off, right?”

Gernom shrugged and looked at Elin.

I don’t know what their intentions are though.

I had no intention of being shaken.

Kwaaah!

A black sphere created exactly above Gernom’s heart.

Hooo-

A black sphere that sucks everything in eats Gernom.

If we just scatter the dimensions and turn them into dust… .

“Are you done?”

… that was the end.

Gernom emerged lightly from Elin’s black sphere.

The reconstructed body was that of the man who first appeared.

“… … how.”

Elin’s eyes wavered.

It’s not just compressed.

How can you come out so lightly when you’ve brought in another dimension?

“Well, I won’t answer that right now. How about we meet again next time?”

Anyone who looks at it can tell that he’s trying to run away.

“Huh… !”

Elin took out the chains and tried to tie Gernom up.

“I’m not a tutor, so I don’t have any hobbies to tie down.”

Ting-

Even that bounces away powerlessly.

“Then I’ll give you homework, Elin. How do I combat spatial magic?”

Gernom tapped his temple with his finger.

“I really wish you would come and tell me the answer. I just want to have fun. So where should I go next? West? South? East? I don’t know. So just follow me. Then… .”

Ssss…

Gernom, scattering like smoke.

Elin tried to hold on until the end.

Perseok-

Only powder was caught.

A shocking truth that swept over us all.

“… … ”

A heavy silence descended upon me.

dump.

Elin sat down and thought.

The one who gave pure love to this world….

There really was only one teacher.
