episode_0179

Assis was cursed with the inability to think deeply, but in reality, he was not a very quick-witted person even before that.

​

Assis, who was born easy-going, was easy-going not only in personality but also in mind, and always needed time to understand.

​

It was the same now.

​

“Shall we end it here?”

​

I couldn’t understand Karami’s words at all.

​

What are you finishing?

​

Assis’s head tilted, weighed down by doubt.

​

Karami began to explain it in a way that even Assis could understand.

​

“Did you get your feelings back?”

​

Nod.

​

“You got your memory back, right?”

​

Nod.

​

“I defeated Skadia and regained my warmth.”

​

Assis nodded again this time.

​

Then Karami smiled.

It was a smile filled with pride.

​

“All the shackles that were holding Asis back have been released. This means that all the conditions for complete liberation have been met.”

​

“… ?”

​

“To put it simply, you don’t have to be my slave anymore.”

​

Still, Assis did not understand. Whether she was a slave or not, it did not matter much to her.

​

However, anxiety began to slowly rise like smoke. It seemed that the ‘normal’ things would no longer be normal.

​

“Don’t be too scared, Ice Panda. Reaching complete liberation means you can move forward on your own without me.”

​

“Rami… ?”

​

Although he said that, Karami was also inwardly anxious.

​

I checked the condition of Assis.

​

‘It’s not freezing, is it?’

​

There are no immediate signs of this, but since he shows little emotion, it’s hard to tell what he’s thinking.

​

He may be docile now, but once the chains are removed, he may act impulsively like Lin.

​

So just in case.

​

Just in case, Karami asked casually.

​

“I am considering going with you on the condition that you absolutely do not interfere… .”

​

If you are worried that they might do something strange, keeping them by your side and monitoring them is a possible solution.

​

If you go there with someone as strong as Assis, your safety is guaranteed.

​

The risk of emergency situations such as Jakaril’s attack is greatly reduced. Karami’s own safety is also his top priority.

​

However, as the story progresses, there will be times when you will encounter dangerous situations and encounter obstacles that the next character will have to overcome.

​

Like this battle with Skadia.

​

It’s not important to just catch it, but to join forces with the dwarves and catch it as Assis. Just like it would be meaningless if Lin showed up and caught it with Foxfire.

​

‘But if I tell them to wait, will they wait well? There are no chains, so there is no force?’

​

The moment you are liberated, you are no longer master and slave, but rather, Karami and Assis. The moment you don’t listen and run away, it’s over.

​

That’s why I don’t bring around a main character or even a sub-slave. Just having a character that wasn’t in the original in that position makes it irregular.

​

It means that not even a single variable will be allowed.

​

Still, there are two reasons why Karami makes this suggestion.

​

One is the fear that Assis will take sudden action.

​

The other one.

​

‘This one is particularly unstable.’

​

Mirabelle has a mother named Naledi.

​

To Arphia, there are Victor and the elves.

​

Rin has Seira and the Yoho.

​

Even without Karami, there are people who will be by your side. Of course, there are dwarves in Assis, but they are so special that they are more concerning than other slaves.

​

“I’d rather kill this kid than be alone. If you have that kind of mindset, let’s go together.”

​

Assis looks into Karami’s eyes with a calm expression.

​

“What does Rami want to do?”

​

“I would like to go with Miss Assis. Really. But the world won’t allow it. I’d like to take it easy and go around before I leave after everything is over… .”

​

Asies are not able to quickly or accurately read human thoughts, but they have developed other senses.

​

It is easy to catch the other person’s weak emotions. It was so strong that it was like Assisra losing emotions and then regaining them.

​

“Ugh… . It’s okay. I’ll wait here.”

​

What Assis sensed from Karami’s unnecessarily long-winded words were worry, concern, and concern.

​

He felt uncomfortable with her company. He could sense emotionally that she was a nuisance to Karami.

​

Even though he has fully recovered, Assis still feels pain in his heart whenever he sees Karami’s arm.

​

Being with Karami is natural to Assis, but he doesn’t want to be stubborn and cause trouble to him.

​

I don’t want to be the one who hurts Karami.

​

I hope he doesn’t feel any negative emotions.

​

Otherwise, I think my heart will hurt too much.

​

As expected, Karami was delighted when that answer came out of Assis’ mouth.

​

“Is that true?”

​

“Yeah.”

​

“I won’t freeze or anything, right?”

​

“Yeah.”

​

“You’ve thought it through well. It’s not like we’re going to break up forever. Anyway, since there’s only one person left, I’ll stop by once we’re all done.”

​

Karami smiled brightly, and only then did Assis follow suit with a faint smile.

​

“Then it seems like things are somewhat sorted out. Thank you for your hard work so far. Miss Assis, you are now free.”

​

Karami releases the contract. The chains are retrieved and the shackles on Assis’ soul are removed.

​

“Ah… .”

​

Assis, now free, let out a shallow sigh.

​

Phrases began to appear in Karami’s field of vision.

​

[Princess Asis Priana, who doesn’t know spring, liberation complete]

​

────────────

​

​

Asia Priana.

Snow White of the fairy tale kingdom of Frisian. The strongest swordsman with both swordsmanship and magic, and the kingdom’s treasure that no one denies.

He was a man of few words and was far from a benevolent royal, but he was loved by the people solely for his appearance.

As anything in excess can be toxic, Assis’s excessive beauty was the starting point of tragedy.

Due to the attack of the greedy Ice Dragon Skadia, the kingdom disappeared into the back alleys of history and Assis was turned into a puppet.

Snow White was trapped in an inaccessible ice, falling into an eternal winter sleep.

That must have been how the story ended.

You suddenly appeared and twisted the story.

It woke up the sleeping Assis, awakened countless experiences, colored his empty pupils with the colors of emotion, and melted his frozen heart with warmth.

A doll that couldn’t do anything on its own learned to be greedy and work hard to get what it wanted.

The white snow field was filled with your traces, and Assis’ life soon became yours.

The winter that seemed like it would never end has passed and spring has arrived.

You are the spring.

────────────

​

Asia Priana’s liberation rate is 100%.

​

────────────

​

[Free the main slaves completely. Current value 3/5]

​

​

There was no explanation or reward or anything particularly dynamic. Everything that was there was just enhanced. The window was removed.

​

Liberation has been completed.

​

Now is the time to part ways.

​

“You can do whatever you want, go to Doomheim, or if you want, go to Bestia. Just tell me your name and I’ll be happy to hear from you.”

​

“Yeah… .”

​

“If you miss me, think of the inner Gigarami. It will guide you. Or how about decorating a kingdom?”

​

“Kingdom?”

​

Karami’s tension rose as if he had just come up with a brilliant idea.

​

“Decorate this empty kingdom with Assis’s ice magic. For example, fill the streets with human statues.”

​

“Hmm?”

​

“Please show me the Priesian Kingdom in Asis Yang’s memories when I return. Then, wouldn’t that help me relieve my boredom while I wait?”

​

Assisi, who had been wondering, soon understood what I meant and nodded.

​

“Then I’ll be going now. Should we shake hands before we part ways?”

​

Karami held out his hand.

​

It means you worked hard.

And Assis has always liked holding hands.

​

Assis, who had been looking down at Karami’s hand for quite some time, shook his head.

​

“Yeah. It’s okay.”

​

“… Yes? Oh, yes.”

​

Is this why I don’t even want to touch you as soon as I escape my slave status?

​

Karami, who had never thought that he would be rejected, awkwardly withdrew his hand.

​

I got on a carriage.

​

“I’ll really go. Take care.”

​

“Yeah,”

​

Drive a carriage.

The carriage is moving further and further away.

​

Assis waved slightly at Karami as he left.

​

Until the carriage is out of sight.

​

Eventually, the carriage leaves the Kingdom of Frisian.

​

Karami thought as he drove the carriage.

​

‘Finally, the last one.’

​

Even though there is a variable called Mirabelle, the fact that she is the last slave remains unchanged.

​

We have come to the point where the long, arduous journey is about to come to an end.

​

‘But I don’t want to go already.’

​

As this is the last one, the difficulty level is higher than before. Even if you memorize the strategy, you will often fail because of her characteristics.

​

Moreover, his personality and actions are rather eccentric compared to other slaves.

​

But what can we do?

​

She too is a slave in a difficult situation, and it is her role to free the poor slave.

​

‘I guess I should go pick her up first.’

​

A bat that eats people.

​

​

***

​

​

The Kingdom of Prysian that Karami left.

​

Assis, now alone, turned his gaze as the carriage disappeared. He stared at her hand.

​

When Karami asked me to hold his hand, I tried to grab it without thinking. The urge to grab it surged up inside me.

​

But Assis held on with patience that was almost miraculous.

​

Because the moment I held his hand and felt his warmth, I knew he would never let me go.

​

It was so desperate that I could instantly empathize with how Scardia felt as she froze herself.

​

But I endured it because I knew it shouldn’t be like that.

​

That’s okay though.

​

Because I said I’d be back soon.

​

While waiting for that time, I have to prepare what he wants to see.

​

Assis turned his head towards the kingdom.

​

The wind that had felt warm until just now felt a little bit lonely.

​

​

***

​

​

The remains of buildings believed to have once been a village, with no trace of humans.

​

The light of the full moon illuminates the partially destroyed cathedral that has some semblance of form.

​

Moonlight falls into the monastery’s prayer room, illuminating a woman kneeling beneath it.

​

Silver bob cut that reflects softly and creates a very sacred atmosphere. Pale skin with no trace of blood.

​

A highly revealing black nun’s habit that clings to the body, clearly showing off a woman’s curves, and boldly exposing everything from the thighs to the ankles.

​

The nun holds a necklace-shaped rosary and waits for the debtor with her eyes closed.

​

As time passes, the woman’s eyelids open.

​

Bloodshot eyes slowly revealed.

​

“As expected… .”

​

No matter how many times I repeat this, no matter how much I pray, I still cannot hear the voice.

​

The voice of God does not reach her as she is covered in blood.

​

I wasn’t disappointed.

Because I didn’t expect it.

​

If you had the heart to help, you would have done so a long time ago.

​

As the nun stands up to leave the cathedral, she staggers violently and hits the wall.

​

“Ah, anemia… .”

​

The nun took out the milk from the flask with trembling hands and drank it. Her expression became much more relaxed and she let out a deep sigh.

​

“This is God… .”

​

God, what kind of god is this? He’s a god who freezes to death.

The cow from the village next door is a god.

​

​
