The target doesn’t lie.

Therefore, the status that appeared next to Agnes’ head must be true.

『Body: 0.7

Mental Defense: 0.1

Horsepower response: 3.2

Spirit sensitivity: 8.9』

Everything else was within the scope of what I had thought about, but the level of sensitivity to spirits was at a level that even Deltans would be astonished.

The number that comes to mind right now is 8.9 out of 10.

The spirit sensitivity of 8.9 points at birth was an absurd number.

Would it be understandable if even Kaltara had a physical ability of 7.1 at birth?

In other words, Agnes Levadeine is a deity who received the blessings of spirits from her birth.

At that moment, a possibility appeared within the Delta people.

‘If this woman wasn’t the host of Demon Flower… .’

There would be no need for players in Evil Blore.

If Agnes had grown up well, she would have torn apart the invading demons with her own strength.

It didn’t matter that his mental defense was below that of an ant.

One of the biggest characteristics of the Spiritualist was the strengthening of mental barriers using spirits.

“Deltain?”

Agnes stuck her head in.

Deltan was startled and took a step back.

Agnes’ smile deepened at that.

“Then I can go?”

Cherry blossom-colored eyes sparkled. What was inside was a feeling of anticipation.

It’s not like you can go, it’s just a level of sensitivity where you have to beg them to go with you. Do I even need to say anything?

Agnes’ sensitivity was at a level where she could attempt conversation even if the spirit of the snowy mountain was the Spirit King.

All you had to do was nod your head right away, but Deltans couldn’t do that.

There were many rational reasons, such as my body being too weak… In the end, it was pride.

“… Do you think you can go out with just spirit sensitivity? Snowy mountains are polar regions. Yes, with that damned body, it’s a living hell where you can’t even walk five steps.”

“Then you can carry me on your back. No, if you use magic in the first place, the climate doesn’t matter.”

“Is that the only problem? You may have forgotten, but the reason you are still alive without being attacked by the devil is because of the ‘Saint Hall’ that I have placed in the system. I can’t guarantee what will happen to me outside the system.”

“Are there that many devils?”

“That’s why the Islander says, if there wasn’t a devil, would I have maintained St. Hall?”

The Demon King was slaughtered, and Evelor’s main story came to an end.

But that did not mean the end of the chaos.

The demons that came through the portal were still wandering around on this continent, and among them were opponents that even the Deltans could not relax their nerves, like Gaias whom they had encountered before.

“… The reason I can move around outside as I please is because the devil can’t take over my mind. But what about you? Your mental defense is the worst I’ve ever seen on this earth. You are so tempted that even the devil’s snort makes you scream.”

“Hmm, is the devil trying to come near you?”

“I’m frustrated because I can’t catch it. Because I closed the door to their hometown.”

Agnes’s brows narrowed.

It was clear that he didn’t like it.

“It’s unfortunate. Then, shouldn’t I just learn elemental magic and go?”

“Arthur, Spiritualist is a profession that has ten times more people who don’t want to do it even if they have sensitivity.”

“Why?”

“Do you know how easy it is to please the spirits? Those bastards are corner bastards who never want to move from the ground they settle on. Of course, the spirit priest who made a contract with those spirits cannot hastily leave the land where the spirits are sitting.”

In fact, this was the biggest problem that troubled Deltans.

It is okay to scare a spiritist and drag them out, but if the contracted spirit does not move, the spiritist cannot function properly.

Spirits have a rather strong obsessional side, so when the spiritist I contracted tried to see other spirits, they used up all of their sensitivity to block the spiritist’s eyes.

Where would a spirit like that want to help in meeting another spirit?

After hearing the Deltan’s explanation, Agnes giggled and was impressed.

“They are very interesting kids. I like something.”

“You like being obsessed? Do you have a mental illness?”

“Someone likes me that much.”

“If you get hit, you won’t say anything like that.”

“Have you experienced it?”

“Yes, I remember more than five women who secretly followed me in the middle of the night with a knife and tried to rape me.”

Of course, it was something that happened on Earth, but Agnes, who didn’t know that, couldn’t just ignore it.

Agnes’ expression suddenly turned cold.

“… Who is it?”

Cool tone. However, before the Deltans even felt suspicious about it, Agnes regained her original appearance.

Agnes, who was crazy about Delta people, was smiling brightly as always.

“I don’t think you would have left it alone. I’m curious what happened.”

“No matter what, they put me in a cell.”

“You didn’t kill him?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not a murderer. I don’t kill people just out of revenge.”

“Hmm… .”

Agnes nodded as if she understood and then said that.

“Then I guess I should go.”

“What do you mean by my words? .”

“They say it’s difficult to pull out a spiritist. And among those who have the right level of sensitivity, there is no one who can be taken with them. Then there is only me.”

“Force… .”

“ is in your control, right?”

Deltan’s expression crumpled.

Agnes folded her hands over Deltan’s.

Talk. Talk. I tapped the back of my hand.

“Don’t think it’s difficult. This is reasonable, right? It’s the devil… I’m not worried because I know that you can stop any evil that comes and save me.”

I believe in you.

That was what he said, but if you look at it a little bit, his true intentions are revealed.

Agnes was now being provocative.

‘Are you sure you don’t have the confidence to protect me right next to you?’

A laugh came out of Deltan’s mouth.

It was a provocation that was clearly visible, so I didn’t have to ignore it, but… .

‘… ‘I have to admit it.’

That was my honest opinion.

There is no one better suited for this job than her.

A spiritist who could move freely was actually a rare case that was harder to find than a fantasy species, and there was too great a suitable person right in front of me to ask about getting one.

The worries were quite long.

After weighing the benefits and risks of each choice, Deltan sighed and said.

“Don’t blame me if you search while you’re at it.”

It is much more beneficial to take Agnes with you.

When Deltan made that judgment, Agnes burst into laughter.

*

“Going out… You mean? To the snowy mountain?”

The Duke’s office.

Duke Levadein widened his eyes and asked Deltan.

When the Deltan nodded, the Duke said as if he was surprised.

“I didn’t know my daughter had spirit sensitivity. So much so that the Count chose it as the best.”

The expression on the duke’s face contained many emotions.

It was things like joy, guilt, and sadness.

“… Really, if Agnes had been healthy, she could have lived with the love of the whole world.”

“Aren’t you still receiving love?”

“Isn’t there sympathy and pity in the love I receive now?”

The Duke’s expression was quite bitter.

It seemed like he was carrying guilt over not being able to give birth to a healthy daughter.

Deltan added words of comfort to that.

“… If you were healthy, your sensitivity may have been low.”

“Hmm?”

“Responsiveness is ultimately a matter of how well it matches the tastes of the spirits.”

“Ah, are you saying that spirits may like weak people?”

“That’s right. Because spirits are a group of people who hide more than what is revealed.”

The duke laughed softly at those words.

“That’s an interesting opinion.”

Perhaps realizing that Deltan had spoken in an attempt to comfort him, Duke Levadein quickly erased his bitter expression and nodded.

“Then please do so.”

“… You give permission too easily.”

“Because I trust the Count.”

A smile filled with joy appeared on the duke’s face.

It was a face that Deltans would consider creepy.

“Please take good care of our daughter.”

Even the words he spoke were filled with warmth that I don’t know why.

Deltan unconsciously avoided his gaze.

Those words didn’t sound like they were just being said.

*

The count’s residence three days later.

Deltan gathered his hunting dogs into his office and took a quick look at them.

Then, my gaze stopped in the direction of Kaltara.

She was smiling the whole time, as if she was so satisfied.

“… Why is your expression like that?”

“I ate a cardinal!”

“Ah.”

Deltan quietly closed his eyes at the explicit words, which were barely even filtered.

“Express it indirectly next time. When you say that, I feel sick just imagining it.”

“Hmm! I understand! I wanted a cardinal!”

“Next time, you rotten bitch.”

“Cancer! Keep that in mind.”

Deltan pressed his eyebrows and complained of a headache.

“Hey… Why did you call me?”

Meanwhile, it was the lustful Jevis who raised his hand and spoke.

The green eyes revealed through his blue hair were a mixture of anxiety and curiosity.

Deltan responded indifferently.

“Go to the snowy mountain. 10 days later.”

“Ugh… .”

A swarthy look appeared on Jevis’ face.

Since I was the type of person who hated going out, I was already tired of long-term missions.

Povler, a meat eater, scolded Jevis with stern eyes and then asked Deltan.

“What is the purpose?”

“I have to find the spirit.”

“If you say it’s a spirit… .”

Fobler’s brows narrowed.

This was because I knew that a spiritist was needed to find a spirit.

Deltan sensed what he wanted to say and continued.

“Take Princess Levadein with you. The sensitivity was high. Ah, Cargo too.”

“Oh!”

Kaltara smiled happily.

“Can I reduce it?”

“Okay, at least make it so that your skin doesn’t squirm when you run.”

“Leave it to me! I will squeeze you very tightly.”

Deltan did not bother to ask how to lose weight.

He now knew that there were secrets in the world that he did not need to know.

It was a lesson learned from the 7th princess Elina.

“Is it okay if I take the princess with me? He seemed like a very mischievous person… .”

There was deep anxiety in Jevis’ voice. He had severe gynophobia.

The only women he could get close to were children, the elderly, and Kaltara, who did not appear to be a woman.

Deltan snorted and said.

“Then what should I do? Would you like to find a spirit priest who can move?”

Jevis’ mouth was tightly shut.

Deltan sat on a chair in a crooked posture and spoke to the hounds.

“As you all know, the princess’s mental barrier is at the level of an insect. When you leave the system, you have to be more careful than other times.”

“I will definitely prepare it.”

Fobler bowed his head.

The Deltan’s eyes turned to the necrophiliac Galan.

He just nodded indifferently.

I didn’t bother to point out that there was no answer. This is because galans do not have vocal cords.

“… Anyway, for that reason, this time you all have to take turns guarding the princess closely. The shift unit is 12 hours, so make sure your body is in perfect condition before departure.”

Deltan said and waved his hand, and the hounds got up and left the office.

It was that moment.

“Count. A guest has arrived.”

Gerhart came into the office.

Behind him was a man covered in a robe.

Deltan’s eyes narrowed.

This is because his true identity can be known by considering all the factors such as the fact that he came in without being told to come in, the way he was wearing the hood of his robe, and other requirements such as physique.

“Why do you come here again?”

“Was I rude?”

A voice full of laughter rang from inside the robe.

Immediately after, the man took off his hood, and shiny white hair flowed from inside.

Emperor Ishmark von Rebroke.

He had come to visit the Count’s residence.

“Can you give me some time?”
