“Pretty.”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment as I looked at the spirit who was holding me in her arms and making small noises.

If it were a normal bead, I don’t know.

Since he swallowed the bead that compressed only the negative emotions of humans to the extreme, it was inevitable that he would be worried.

Just in case, I tried to grab the spirit upside down and shake it off.

“Myaaah.”

It only makes strange sounds and doesn’t spit out any beads.

I looked at that spirit and thought for a moment, then quickly shook my head and shook my head.

‘It doesn’t seem like anything is particularly painful or has changed for the worse, so I don’t think there’s a problem.’

Besides, the sun spirit is surprisingly quick-witted.

There is no reason to consume something that has a negative effect on you without any reason.

‘Besides, in the original work, there were cases where things related to black magic were eaten and absorbed as strength.’

There was also a high possibility that he was transforming this into his own power.

I looked at the spirit’s face, which had become round, and stroked its head, thinking that it would soon grow to a higher level.

“Myayang.”

It looks a little crooked, maybe because I shook it off a little while ago.

Even though I was annoyed when I saw him clinging to me, he was still smiling as if he was saying that he liked me.

A woman’s voice, both shocked and bewildered, was heard from the side.

“Uh, why…? Why? Why? That doesn’t make sense? How did you break it? How did you eat it? Why? How? ”

I can’t help but see him denying the current situation, scratching his face with his fingernails until it bleeds.

Then he glares at me with a bloody face, takes out a cane from his bosom, and speaks.

“Sir, we have to kill him and take him out. Otherwise, there’ll be a big problem. No, we have to take him out right now. Right now. ”

Her actions were reminiscent of a murderer, but her true nature was that of a warlock.

As it ran towards me, it produced numerous black tentacles and shot them at me.

It looks like something other than a simple tentacle.

Every time a black tentacle would stick nearby, I would hear a sound of something melting, and just as I was about to raise my mace to block it,

Hurrruk!

A more powerful flame than before spread out from the spirit, burning all the tentacles.

“Oh, how come!”

She screamed as if she had no idea that she would lose her tentacles so easily and vainly.

He denies it and reaches out his hand towards the flames, then closes his eyes and begins to laugh in a way that sounds like a cry.

At that moment, a dark attribute mana spreads thickly around you, and you feel as if the skin on your entire body is standing on end.

Then, it quickly approaches me on all fours in a twisted posture that looks like something out of a horror movie, and sprays a huge amount of magic energy.

I raised my mace, thinking it was hilarious to watch the dark magic bursting out from all directions and the dozens of black tentacles appearing out of nowhere.

“Die, die, die!”

She was running towards me strangely… no, it was hard to even see her as a human, and I was quickly circulating my mana and spirit power towards her.

He calmly looked down at the mace that had begun to burn fiercely, then struck it hard on the floor.

Damn it.

The floor cracks and a strong vibration spreads out in all directions, causing all the tentacles to twist.

Originally, it was impossible to give such a strong impact.

Because the power of the spirit had become incomparably stronger, it became possible to do things that were originally impossible, and its intense power spread out in all directions.

‘It’s okay.’

At this level, I think I can do a lot more.

I looked at the warlock who quickly moved to the side to dodge my attack, raised my head, and took a step forward.

“Ah, I can still do more, more, more!”

Every time I moved forward, countless dark magic poured down.

All of these things disappeared in vain, blocked by the wall of fire summoned by the spirit.

With each step you take, the sticky aftertaste of black magic scatters in all directions and everything turns to ash.

I looked at her struggling and swinging her cane in front of me.

Without any hesitation, he swung his mace and ended the battle.

*

When I was silently looking down at the black magician who had turned completely black.

Lorraine exclaims her admiration and compliments me.

“Your skills are improving rapidly day by day. At this rate, you will soon reach the level of a junior expert. ”

In fact, I awkwardly laughed it off because this battle was not something I won, but rather it was the spirit that burned everything and led me to victory.

If the spirit hadn’t helped, I wouldn’t have been able to finish it this easily.

So, as I was making up my mind to work harder and grow even more, Lorraine pointed behind me and spoke.

“Then let’s go check inside.”

At those words, I nodded and said I would do so, then walked over and opened the door.

Since the place I was in earlier was a huge aquarium-like laboratory, I thought the inside would be large as well.

What appeared unexpectedly was a narrow room reminiscent of a storage room.

While I was quickly looking around the room where there were a lot of formulas and theories written down, trying to figure out if there was anything useful.

I was able to discover one interesting item.

An unidentified item sealed in black cloth.

It seemed like a locking spell had been placed on the black cloth, but the moment I tried to open it, it forcibly pushed my hand away and refused to open.

So I tried to rip it off with great force, but Lorraine, who was next to me, quickly stopped me and grabbed my hand.

“Please calm down, as all the contents may be destroyed if you make a mistake.”

“Really?”

“Yes. So, I’ll leave this to Rirelsh for tomorrow.”

Former King’s Magician Priltaninnilirelsh.

Siren’s temporary teacher and an authority on magic.

I nodded, thinking that he would definitely be able to unlock this place, and opened my mouth.

“Then let’s go back.”

“Yes.”

Lorraine nodded, smiling brightly, as if she was glad that the mission was over.

*

When I returned to the mansion, it was already late at night, and the peaceful sounds of insects echoed all around.

Lorraine said she would report on the warlock first and left, and I was on my way to the room where the royal wizard was staying to ask him for information.

“Damian.”

Siren came running towards me with a blank expression but a look of great joy on her face.

“Are you here now?”

Maybe it’s because I didn’t come in last night, but he greets me warmly and clings to me.

I felt sorry for not being able to pay attention to you because I was busy bringing you here, so I nodded and decided to have a quick chat.

“There was a magical achievement. Master Rirelsh was jumping around and shedding tears. ”

The vocabulary was light, so I thought he was joking, but his expression was so serious that it didn’t seem like he was joking.

I thought to myself, “I don’t know,” and decided to just walk down the hallway, as I spoke to Siren.

“Walk for a moment… ”

“I have something to show you.”

Before I could tell her to walk, Siren grabbed my hand and started walking forward, saying that she had something to show me.

The moment I saw this, I remembered the time I grabbed Elysia’s hand and dragged her to show her the flower garden, and I was smiling bitterly.

Siren pointed out the window and spoke to me.

“It’s pretty.”

As I looked around, I saw a tree growing in the middle of the garden covered in blue mana, creating a sense of mystery and wonder.

I was just staring blankly at the sight, as if it were a work of art.

Siren spoke to me in a somewhat proud voice.

“I wanted to show you this.”

“Yeah… ?”

“Yeah.”

The subject who had been so proud until just a moment ago seemed to have become uneasy as I just stared at the tree without saying anything.

Siren suddenly becomes depressed and looks at me. Then she grabs the hem of her clothes and speaks to me with an anxious expression.

“Not really?”

I didn’t realize that I was not saying anything because all sorts of thoughts were piling up.

I quickly gathered my wits, shook my head, and told him directly what I was feeling.

“No, it was so pretty that I blanked out for a moment.”

“Really?”

At my words, Siren looked at me while wiggling her fingers, then turned her gaze away as if embarrassed and looked down at the tree.

I smiled slightly because I thought the sight was cute, and then I followed Siren and looked at the golden tree again.

Siren points to the inside of my clothes and asks me a question.

“What’s in it?”

It seems that Siren’s genius magical ability has reacted to the unidentified item she picked up in the laboratory.

I took it out and showed it to Siren when asked that question.

Siren watched this carefully and then spoke to me indifferently.

“I think I can solve this. Should I solve it for you?”

A tone of speech that seems to throw out a problem that isn’t that difficult as if it were no big deal.

Since he was a guy who had only recently learned magic, I didn’t have enough trust to entrust him with anything.

I nodded my head in a daze, perhaps because of her overly confident tone and because I knew her talent.

He handed me the item wrapped in black cloth.

Siren spoke to me, her teeth tickling.

“It’s over.”

It is said that the locking spell was lifted just by touching it lightly.

As I was looking at the black cloth flowing gently, I felt a glimpse of talent.

The siren, shining brightly in the moonlight, spoke to me in a somewhat proud tone.

“Do what you promised.”

If it’s a promise, I guess it’s a compliment.

I was going to say thank you anyway, so I wanted to say thank you.

Siren sticks her head in and makes a gesture asking for her head to be patted.

It’s not a difficult request.

I was about to pat her head while looking at that siren.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, the spirit in her arms jumps out and hits Siren on the forehead.

“… … ”

Is it because you feel wronged by not being praised, or is it because you feel wronged by being hit?

Siren glared at the spirit with cold, sunken eyes, expressing her anger.

I saw such a siren and smiled faintly, quickly patting my head before things got worse.

***

As expected, what was contained in the black cloth was a document containing the contents of an ‘assassination plan.’

I decided that it was right to convey this to the Lord, so I headed straight to the Lord.

And then, as I was thinking about what to say and why I had discovered this, a voice came from inside.

“Come in.”

As you go inside, you can see the staff working without any flaws.

I don’t know what’s so busy, but I can feel that the position of the head of the Carsaril family is quite heavy, so I try to take out the document.

The owner looked at me like that and spoke in an indifferent voice.

“I guess you heard it from the butler.”

What did you hear? I blinked because I hadn’t heard anything from the butler and hadn’t seen him since I came back, and then the butler spoke as if he was surprised.

“Didn’t you hear from the butler that the North sent a notice of intent to break off the engagement?”

I was so dumbfounded by that that I laughed out loud.
