“I think I’ve become closer to Anya these days.”

Deltan’s head lifted up.

The first thing that caught my eye was the interface.

Deltan quickly dismissed it and looked at Agnes.

Then he frowned.

“Who is Anya?”

Agnes’ eyes blinked.

She blinked for a long time with an expression on her face, and then burst into laughter, saying, ‘Puhup!’

“Big, sigh… !”

“Why are you laughing again? Do I need to know who Annie is?”

Agnes’s smile became even brighter.

She giggled for a long time as if she had just seen the funniest comedy in the world, then finally managed to control her laughter and continued.

“It’s too much. They say I get cookies every day.”

“Ah.”

Only then did Deltan realize who the person named ‘Anya’ was.

“Your maid?”

“A maid. I am a friend who has been with me since I was young.”

“Anyway, you’re a maid.”

Deltan gave a cursory answer with an annoyed expression on his face and continued the treatment.

However, Agnes’ chatter did not stop.

“You still didn’t know my name?”

“Do I need to know?”

“You got the cookie.”

“I never asked for it. I eat it because it is given to me.”

“Wow, bad guy.”

“If you’re going to start a fight, keep your mouth shut.”

The Deltans didn’t have the slightest interest in the person named Anya.

It wasn’t just Anya.

All the people, things, and honor that existed in this world had no meaning to him.

There is only one thing that is important to him.

Clear this damn game to the end and return to the original world.

In this way, he was able to regain all the rewards he had received.

That’s why you can’t remember.

For the Deltans, safely extracting this magic flower was much more important than the name ‘Anya’ of the attendant.

“Anya will be sad.”

“What should I do?”

“I think you like it.”

“There are many women who like me. know? There are still more than ten messages about marriage coming into my mansion every day.”

“Unlucky.”

“What can we do with reality like that?”

The Deltan did not even blink an eye while saying such arrogant words.

It was something that could not be helped.

The unwavering confidence in oneself and the pride of always being in the position of a winner.

It was the same as the identity of the Delta person.

“It’s because I’m so good.”

“Your self-love is strong.”

“I’m not very self-loving. If you just look at the facts, you’re so proud that it seems that way.”

“Speaking arrogantly while pretending to be humble is very unsightly.”

Agnes’ voice disappeared.

Her eyes widened as if in surprise, then she made a stern face and poked Deltan’s arm.

“Don’t release it.”

When Deltan said that, he made a snorting sound.

No, as there was no sound, only the sign was revealed.

It took a moment for Deltan to treat Agnes, who had become quiet.

She stared at the serious-faced Deltan for a long time, then suddenly thrust her head forward.

Startle-.

The startled Deltan threw his head back.

Agnes’ eyes widened nicely.

Cock.

Cock.

Her index finger tapped Deltan’s arm once again.

Deltan opened his mouth with a grim expression.

“… If you start a fight, I’ll stop you again.”

Agnes nodded.

The cherry blossom-colored eyes twinkled as if telling him to trust me, but it was not a light that gave Delta people much trust.

Deltan let out an exasperated sigh and collected his mana.

“Wow. Is it so frustrating not being able to speak?”

“What’s new, this isn’t the first time I’ve been hit.”

“I thought you would feel guilty if I had to react like this every time.”

“If you start a fight… .”

“It’s not a fight.”

Agnes said, stroking the arm of Deltan who was holding her wrist.

“It’s an expression of affection.”

“… Plague.”

“It is not good for the Count to say such harsh words.”

“It is not good for the princess to say obscene words.”

Agnes smiled and continued arguing with Deltan.

Then he added one more word.

“So when do you plan on failing for the second time?”

“Correction. It’s not a failure, it’s a mistake.”

“Anyway, when are you going to do it? You’re not just giving treatment like this because you’re afraid of failing again, right?”

The Deltan’s pride was stimulated.

He opened his mouth, glaring at Agnes with burning eyes.

“Don’t be a damn thing. I guess you don’t know yet. I am a person who has never experienced failure or defeat in my life. And it will remain the same in the future.”

It was a voice full of suppressed anger.

Agnes smiled slightly at that expression.

“Really?”

It was provocative.

Nevertheless, it was still beautiful, so it would be more correct to say that its appearance was alluring.

Deltan felt his throat dry for a moment, but opened his mouth, trying to shake off the feeling that had come to mind.

“Remember.”

“What?”

“I make mistakes, but I don’t fail.”

“Is there a difference?”

“There is a big difference.”

Deltan smiled crookedly.

According to that sign, the burning gold eyes glowed even stronger.

“Mistakes are reversible. And failure is irreversible. I don’t make irreparable mistakes.”

It was something he said to her, and also something he said to himself.

“Swear?”

“I swear. Risking my neck.”

It wasn’t something I just said out of anger.

Deltan truly thought so.

He said that all the hardships he faced during his lifetime were all extremely vicious, but nothing could bring him to his knees.

Entering this game and being so upset over the magic are ultimately happening.

In the end, the winner will be you.

“End of treatment. There is nothing special. Going.”

Agnes looked at Deltan who was getting up from his seat, then smiled and waved his hand.

“See you tomorrow.”

“Not coming… .”

Deltan, who was about to reflexively say, ‘I’m not coming,’ frowned and changed his words.

“… Yes, tomorrow is another day.”

“Fool.”

“Shut up.”

Deltan left the room.

That day, as usual, Anya handed Deltan a cookie, and Deltan recalled her name, which he had only learned today, and said, ‘Thank you. He left a comment saying, ‘Hey, baby.’

*

Although I declared it in front of Agnes, even as a Deltan, the current situation was quite daunting.

This is because, although I scoured old books day and night to find information about demons and repeatedly attempted surgical operations through [Imagination], I could not find a clear solution.

Today too, the same routine is repeated.

Deltan, who was sitting in the study and flipping through books as always, raised his head at the feeling of popularity.

And a doubt emerged.

“What is it?”

“It is a plant.”

Deacon Gerhart was there.

The old man, smartly dressed in a black suit, pushed the flower pot in his arms onto the table and continued speaking.

“I recently took up reading as a hobby. They say that being close to plants brings peace to your mind and body.”

“My goodness, just thinking about plants makes me vomit.”

Deltan frowned.

This is why this plant did not look very good to him who was having a hard time with the Magic Flower Extrias.

Gerhart smiled lowly and continued.

“Are things not going well?”

“You won’t know it if you look at it?”

“In times like that, you need to get closer to the plant. Would you like to see this little sprout?”

“I think the sandwich I ate earlier will come up.”

“Well, please avoid flower pots. Since the child is sensitive, it may hinder his/her growth.”

“It would be great if Mahwa was that sensitive too.”

“All plants are sensitive. Even if there is a slight change in the environment, you will quickly lose your vitality.”

“Places… .”

Stop-.

Deltan’s body stiffened.

Gerhart momentarily pursed his lips at the sight of Deltan beginning to behave strangely, then left the scene with a gentle smile.

This is because he knows that whenever his slightly special owner reacts like that, something surprising will happen to the world.

Squeak-.

The door was closed.

And after a while, a blindingly strong blue light began to leak out of the tightly closed door.

*

For about three days, Deltan postponed his originally scheduled appointment with Agnes and devoted himself to research.

There was no night or day for him.

There was only the progress of the experiment.

Hunger so strong that his body was screaming, thirst so strong that his throat was dry, eyelids that felt like they were closing at any moment, and a pounding headache were no problems to him.

This is because it is something we have already experienced many times in childhood.

We are on our way to victory.

With that pleasure alone, Deltan overcame all physiological reactions and completed a spell.

The end of approximately 70 hours of research.

He waited anxiously for the results.

The result was, of course, a success for Deltans.

“It is done.”

Deltan put on his clothes as is.

“Gerhart!”

“Yes.”

“Going to Duke Levadein’s residence! Make the car wait!”

“It’s too late… .”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

As it passed 8 p.m., Gerhart frowned and continued to worry for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.

“… I’ll leave the telegram. Let’s go.”

*

Agnes was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

As it is evening time, if you are sleeping… It wasn’t.

This was clearly evident just from her frowning expression.

A clear form of irritation.

That was what was written on her face, and the reason was something that the people in the mansion could easily guess.

Anyway, this is the only change that has occurred recently for her, who has always led a very ordinary life.

Absence of Hebron, the Delta.

It was only natural that he was the reason for his annoyance as he had canceled all of his plans for the past three days.

Agnes’ exclusive maid, Anya, was anxious.

‘… It will last a long time.’

When it comes to Agnes, she knows more than Duke Levadeine.

That’s why we know that Agnes hates waiting, and that she gets even more angry when her expectations are dashed.

Of course, Anya had no reason to worry about her anger.

Agnes was not a person whose personality was so bad that she would vent her anger in a strict situation, and as such, the only person who had to endure that anger was Hebron, the Delta.

‘Count… .’

There is one reason why she is so worried.

I had a crush on Delta people who always ate cookies and said they were ‘delicious.’

In the prime of her life, the girl’s love, filled with dreams, turns into impatience.

Anxiety based on empathy burns her insides.

There was a gaze looking at her like that.

The gaze that Anya, who was wiping the table, did not notice was Agnes’s.

Agnes suddenly opened her eyes and saw Anya’s nervousness with an inorganic expression like a doll.

Talk.

Talk.

Agnes’ hand was tapping on the blanket I was covering.

Lips move softly.

However, the words were not spoken.

She was choosing her words.

In the room where silence fell.

Agnes was thinking about something for a while.

smart-.

There was a knock on the door.

Eventually, a voice that welcomed both women was heard.

“Enter.”

The door opened before the answer could be heard.

The one who came in between was none other than Hebron, the Delta.

“Hey, you go out.”

Deltan said that to Anya.
