Knock knock knock.

The sound of fingers tapping on the desk permeated the room steadily.

In the direction of the sound, a large man was sitting there, staring blankly at the woman standing before him.

“I don’t have a good hearing, so can you say that again?”

“..The killer possesses enough brute force to easily subdue an adult male. According to the story, he is a tall man, nearly 2 meters tall. ”

The big man thought the woman was really cheeky.

“Heh heh.. Really? Did you find out where that guy is?”

“Sorry, we’re still looking for location information.”

The woman seemed truly sorry. She bowed her head and asked for forgiveness.

“Hmm..”

Knock knock knock.

The man hesitated for a moment, then lifted the desk up as if he was lifting a feather.

“People here and there seem to be taking me for granted.”

“..Boss?”

In the blink of an eye.

A desk flew in front of the woman’s nose along with the man’s smile.

“….!”

The woman, who had no choice but to raise her arms to protect her head,

Kwaang

“Cough!”

Unable to avoid the impact, he fell to the floor.

“Isn’t that right?”

“Ugh…Boss…What is this…”

“A girl with super strength.”

“….!”

“The story I heard and your story seem very different?”

“Did you know..”

“Hahaha! Do you think I only have four subordinates?”

A large man. Bram grabbed Dania’s hair and pulled her up so she was looking at him.

“Ugh!”

“Why did a smart girl do such a stupid thing?”

“….”

“Looking at that woman, did you think of your sister?”

As if to prove Bram’s words were correct, Dania’s pupils began to shake violently.

Bram pulled Dania’s head harder.

“Do you know why I keep you around even though I know you want to kill me? ”

“Ahhh!!..”

“Because you’re a capable subordinate who’s good at getting things done? Or because you’re one of the few mana users in this city?”

“Let go of this!”

Dania looked at Bram with wide eyes.

“Your little brother whom you value more than your own life.”

“Because it’s not my job to ruin that little brother.”

As soon as Bram let go of Dania’s hair, her head fell as if it was going to hit the floor.

“You know that too, so you pretend to follow me obediently.”

“Sob…sob..”

“Tsk.. Dirty”

Bram went out the door, shaking the torn hair from his hands.

“I’ll let this one go just this once. You’d better make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

If you want your little sister to be safe, that is.

In the place where he left smiling.

All that remained was the woman’s sad sobbing.

* * *

Thud thud.

Dania walks with tired steps.

There was a deep sadness and helplessness in his eyes.

After walking for a while, a shabby and old house appeared before his eyes.

Although it was a shabby building with only a formal appearance, it was a precious treasure to Dania.

‘I can’t show Lily this side of me.’

slap.

Dania snapped out of her reverie by slapping her cheeks with both hands, and opened the door with a smile on her face.

“Lily~ Sister, you’re here.”

When I opened the door, the person who greeted me was my little sister, whom I would never mind putting in my eyes.

“Sister!!!”

Lily runs and hugs me.

“Why are you so late today..”

He says, stroking her head.

“Sorry.. I’ve been busy today. Instead, I’ll cook Lily’s favorite potatoes for dinner tonight.”

“Really? Sister, you’re the best!!”

Lily smiling brightly at herself.

Looking at her bright, sunny smile.

I felt like tears were about to fall again without me knowing it.

After dinner.

As Dania was putting away the dishes to clean up, Lily approached her.

“Sister! I have something to brag about!”

Lily looked at Dania and smiled proudly.

“Huh? What is that~?”

“Hehehe.. Look closely!”

Lily picked up a kitchen knife and walked into the open space.

Then I close my eyes tightly and take a deep breath.

“Hah!”

“…!”

He swung the sword vertically and forcefully.

At first glance, it looked like he was just swinging his sword, but Dania’s eyes could clearly see it since she could use mana.

“The magic my sister taught me. Now I can do it too!”

‘Lily… magic?’

The technique Lily just used was a simple enchantment spell that grants magical powers to a weapon.

Because if something happened to her, there was no one to protect Lily.

Dania occasionally taught Lily how to use mana and self-defense.

Luckily, Lily had the talent to sense mana.

Perhaps with a few more years of teaching, she would be able to use mana well enough.

But Lily already knew how to use mana to manipulate magical powers.

This was proof that she had great talent.

Hope seemed to rise in a corner of Dania’s heart.

‘This is possible.’

The goal that Dania had been clenching her teeth and holding on to under Bram.

Getting Lily into the Academy.

Regis Academy follows a meritocracy.

Anyone who can feel mana is eligible to enter.

Because there was a principle that status did not matter at all.

Even Lily, who had lost her origins and had no social status, could enter the academy if she had the skills.

If Lily gets into the Academy like that, Bram won’t be able to touch her anymore.

Dania praised Lily as she hugged her.

“Our Lily. She’s so pretty. I’m so happy for you, Sister.”

Lily laughed in Dania’s arms.

“Now if there’s a bad person who bothers you, I’ll punish you! Don’t worry!”

Was it because I had a hard day?

At Lily’s wonderful words, Dania felt like tears were about to fall again.

Swallowing the tears that were threatening to overflow.

“Sigh….I don’t have to worry at all!..Thanks to Lily..Thank you Lily.”

He laughed heartily, following his precious little sister.

That day, Dania was able to fall asleep with a smile.

“Sister.. Okay?..”

Lily cautiously called out to her sister.

My sister was sleeping very deeply, probably because she was very tired.

‘I definitely cried.’

My sister tried her best to hide it, but she couldn’t hide the marks on her eyes or the smell of blood coming from her.

Lily bit her lip.

To build up her strength, Lily constantly practiced the techniques her older sister had taught her while she was out at work.

Until you can use your mana.

“I’ll kill you… I’ll kill you no matter what..”

No matter how strong a man he is, he is still human. If you stab him in the back of the head, he will not be able to avoid death.

The cold eyes in Lily’s eyes, filled with hatred and determination, were something Dania could never have imagined.

“Are you going to pay it back?”

The boy who is demanding a debt from me.

“You can just pay it back..”

It’s unfair.

I’ve never had a problem with money in my life.

Why should I be scolded for money I didn’t even borrow?

‘No, actually, aren’t you kidding me?’

They may have taken advantage of my amnesia to create debts that didn’t exist.

‘But he doesn’t seem like a bad guy… I gave him some bread earlier too…’

Wow.

Money is nothing! Just pay it back. A man can’t be petty over something like this.

Money isn’t a problem if you know how to use your unique abilities.

What’s more important to me now is information, not money.

“I’ll definitely pay you back. Help me find my memories.”

The boy looked at me for a while, then sighed and said.

“What are you curious about?”

I listened to the boy’s words until the end.

The name of this body I possessed is Hera.

It is said that he has been working as a pickpocket here for some time.

Ah, the boy who gave me the bread is named Charlie.

We met by chance two years ago while trying to steal each other’s stuff.

It is said that they met and talked often since then.

I heard Charlie and I were both good thieves with good sleight of hand.

The name of this place we are in is Lawless Zone Drax.

Among them, the one located in the west is called the Western District.

In this area, there was a king called Bram, and his word was the law of the West.

“So even if you steal, you must never touch anyone related to Bram.”

Charlie crossed his hands in a big no gesture.

Lawless Drax. I remember.

The name of the city that collapsed while Athena was fighting the monster ‘Argentina’.

The monster was defeated, but the city was destroyed miserably.

The emperor, having decided that the city could not be restored, had Athena strike Drax under the pretext of a reward for subduing the monster.

However, Athena, who was not interested in others, did not care about the abandoned city and its citizens. Naturally, the city turned into a lawless zone.

‘In the novel, Drax was just one of Athena’s blackmail plot devices.’

It was just a device used for Athena’s past story.

Oh, and Lily was there too.

One of the heroines, Lily, was also from Drax.

An assassin with yandere tendencies who always sticks by the protagonist’s side.

Did you say that after losing your sister, your obsession with love grew stronger?

In the last novel I read, there was a scene where Lily was terrified when she saw Athena.

I could tell that Athena was the mastermind.

anyway.

Drax was simply a place set up to describe the characters’ pasts, and had nothing to do with the main characters.

It was a place that fit my goal perfectly, without interfering with the protagonist’s progress.

Even though it’s a city ruled by Athena, she doesn’t care about Drax one bit.

‘Just right.’

Plans for the future began to take shape in my head.

First and foremost, you need to be able to use your unique abilities.

If only this were possible, I would be able to eat and live well here.

Drax is a place where homeless poor people and criminals with dubious skills gather.

There’s no way those people could beat someone with unique abilities.

And in this lawless land, where the strong rule, I will be able to enjoy a considerable amount of rights.

‘I’m going to eat well here, have a comfortable time, and wait for the main character to reach the ending.’

good.

It’s a left-wing plan.

I’m definitely a genius-

“Hey!”

“Huh?”

I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of Charlie calling me.

“Are you still trying to get your mind right?”

“Sorry. What did you say?”

“Haa.. Don’t touch anyone related to Bram.”

“Uh..”

Sorry Charlie… that’s going to be hard.

There can’t be two suns in the sky.

As long as Bram stands here, I will not be able to enjoy a comfortable life here.

For my happy plan, it seemed like I had to step on Bram.

Anyway, he is just one of the criminals and has no guilt.

“Hmm. Hmm..”

Charlie coughed a few times, then looked at me cautiously and began to speak.

“.. And there was something I couldn’t say earlier.”

“….?”

Suddenly, Charlie took on a serious air. I opened my ears wide and focused on what he was saying.

“You may not remember, but…”

“Yeah. What is it?”

I guess you’re telling me something I didn’t know.

Do I have any more money left than Charlie owes?

Then I think it might be a little difficult.

“You..Actually..”

“Yeah.”

Or, conversely, it could be that I have someone I lend money to.

“You promised to marry me,”

“……What?”

“You decided to marry me-”

Kwaaang

“Oh….Huh?!”

My leg buried deep into the left side of Charlie’s face.

“Don’t be a jerk.”

Where do you get the bottom?

…

uh.

just now.

I think you used your ability?
