Senel’s expression began to harden at the words coming out of the maid’s mouth.

Seeing her like this, the maid spoke to her in a tone that seemed slightly amused.

“Mina Roseveta Dragona.. Are you that woman’s daughter? I could tell just by looking at your face.”

“What is your relationship with my mother?”

An acquaintance of my mother’s whom I met in a different situation from the one I met the other day, a woman named Magdalena.

Senel asked the question with curiosity, but also with a bad feeling that the target was a thief trying to rob the auction house.

And, to her question, the maid answered with a warm smile.

“Well, it’s nothing special. Maybe it’s a relationship where they’d try to kill each other if they saw each other’s faces… right?”

A maid who is making a very ominous sound, separate from her smile.

However, Senel responded to her words with a warm smile that was just as warm as hers.

“That’s…thank goodness. That shameless thief who’s trying to rob the auction house isn’t your mother’s friend.”

“Oh my, isn’t that a bit harsh? A shameless thief. We’re just adventurers who do our best to carry out the commissions we’re given…”

“I’ve never heard of adventurers taking on theft requests?”

“Hehehe, it’s unfortunate, but… there are many things in this world that a little girl can’t see!”

The maid ends the conversation with those words and begins to stretch the thread with her fingers again.

Senel then stretched the snail out from his wrist once more, but this time the snail’s movements were different from before.

-Jewwaaak!!-

A snail that secretes large amounts of thin mucus from its body.

The aftermath began to reveal the locations of the threads extending from the maid’s hand, and Senel’s snail then began to dodge the locations of the threads and rush towards the maid.

“Finding the destruction method so quickly… Is that girl’s daughter different after all?”

With those words, the maid starts spitting out thread again.

Her threads, which stretched out in all directions like a spider web, quickly began to wrap around the maid, blocking any path the snail could take.

And… Seeing her reaction like this, Senel realized once again that her opponent was formidable and tried to retrieve the snail.

at that time..

-grasp!-

“!.. This.”

The intense pain felt the next moment.

At the same time, Senel’s body lost its balance and collapsed, and seeing her like this, the maid slowly approached me while surrounding herself with a wall of thread with a cold smile on her lips.

“I don’t know about snails, but it definitely works on the main body.”

The maid snapped her fingers as she said that.

Immediately afterwards, something with blood dripping down it was placed on her hand.

It was… one of Senel’s feet that had been cut off along with his ankle.

“If the enemy tries to talk to you, you should have been on guard instead of just accepting it without thinking. Although your skills aren’t bad, you still lack experience in that area.”

The maid said, practically certain of victory.

Although the guy’s snails are quite annoying, with his ankles cut off and his movements restricted, his limits are clear.

Then she slowly began to approach Senel to finish it off.

however..

“..Haa.. Well, you’re not wrong. To be honest, I haven’t fought this strong of a person that often. I never would have guessed that they would try to trick me by starting a conversation like this.”

“!…What?”

Senel speaks in a tone that is extremely peaceful in response to the maid’s words.

Seeing her like this, the maid’s face suddenly began to show a look of embarrassment greater than anything she had ever seen before.

‘What on earth is going on with this guy? His entire foot was almost completely cut off, and he still has this attitude. How can a kid who’s not even 20 years old be able to endure this much pain so easily?’

Even if it was her, with this level of injury, it was inevitable that she would show some level of pain.

Even if you can continue fighting, it is absolutely impossible to completely ignore the pain.

But… the girl in front of me was doing that so calmly.

Even though her ankle was cut off and blood was gushing out of it, she spoke in a calm, peaceful voice that showed no sign of pain, only a hint of regret.

‘And this guy… It’s impossible for him to fight with his current body, so how can he be so calm in front of the enemy? No way… No way… Does this guy… not have any emotions like pain or fear?’

A situation that makes the maid feel both a sense of sensitivity and wariness at the same time.

And… seeing her like this, a cold smile began to form on Senel’s lips.

“Why are you so surprised? If you plan on finishing this, hurry up and do it. I have no intention of begging for my life.”

“Huh!..”

Senel’s appearance of mocking himself even in an obviously unfavorable situation.

At that sight, memories of the past suddenly began to resurface in the maid’s mind.

That was… an unforgettable memory for her.

The memory of facing the person who looked exactly like the girl in front of her eyes… was the very memory that brought a cold chill to her heart even at this moment.

‘I feel sick… Is this guy also a child of that monster? Even though he has human blood flowing through his veins, he abandoned humanity a long time ago… Damn it. Why did these guys have to be his…’

With that thought in mind, the maid begins to spin the thread again.

at that time..

“!”

“Huh?”

The next moment, a look of bewilderment began to appear on the faces of the maid and Senel at the sudden turn of events.

The maid’s thread began to disappear like melting snow.

At the same time, a deep look of embarrassment began to appear on the maid’s face, and then her gaze slowly.

She started to head towards the being standing behind her.

“da.. you… how are you here..”

“That’s what I wanted to ask. Not only did you interrupt the auction I was in, but what are you trying to do to that kid?”

The person who speaks in a cold voice.

A figure wearing a black nun’s habit… and emitting a terrifying green energy from her entire body.

The moment he realized who she was, a deep surprise began to form on Senel’s face.

“Ma..Makdal..Lena?”

A person who is considered a close acquaintance of the mother, and who actually made the decision for Senel to participate in this auction.

From Senel’s perspective, even though they had only known each other for a short time, he was still someone he felt comfortable with and a good person.

But… right now, at this moment.

In this woman before her eyes…

I was feeling a completely different vibe than before.

It felt as if a quiet pool on the mountain was cracking open and lava was about to burst out from underneath.

‘This feeling… Yes. I’ve felt it before. It’s definitely similar to my mother’s.’

My mother usually had a calm smile like a kind angel, but once she touched my sore spot, she showed a more terrifying appearance than the devil of hell.

It was at that time that Senel was struck with amazement as he looked at Magdalene, who reminded him of her appearance.

“Get lost, if you make any more noise, I might do something to you, regardless of whether it’s a contract or not.”

“… Ugh.”

The maid looks resentful at her words.

Then she disappeared from their sight as if a mirage had disappeared.

and..

“After… I…lived.”

“Are you okay? Where did you get hurt?”

The moment he realized that the danger before his eyes had disappeared, Senel let out a sigh of relief.

And, looking at her like that, Magdalena approached Senel with such deep concern that the ominous expression from just a moment ago felt like a lie.

“Ah.. It’s okay. This much is enough..”

Senel spoke with a slight smile on her face. However, Magdalena looked even more anxious at her attitude and tried to examine her wounds.

“Are you okay? Your ankle was cut off. Hurry up and take a look. This kind of injury can be treated quickly… ?”

Magdalena lifts Senel’s skirt slightly forcibly and checks her ankles.

however..

“Huh… Huh?”

The next moment, a look of surprise began to appear in her eyes.

Senel’s foot, which had clearly been cut off and bleeding profusely just a moment ago.

But now, in front of her eyes, Senel’s feet were intact, with not a single wound, even though his shoes had been taken off.

“This.. How is this.. Then what about that?”

Magdalena turns her gaze towards Senel’s feet that the maid had left behind amid deep doubt.

However, it wasn’t Senel’s foot that was there…

“..That’s..a snail?”

“Ahaha.. Yeah, well..”

Senel smiled awkwardly at Magdalena’s blank voice.
