episode_0038

For a moment, there was silence for a long time.

And Enoch answered and said,

“I don’t know.”

“Don’t you know?”

Lisa became anxious at Enoch’s uncertain answer.

He thought back on past events, wondering if Enoch really liked him as a person of the opposite sex.

And I thought, why did I see myself as a person of the opposite sex?

First of all, the reason I saw it as a relationship was most likely because I didn’t think of it as family.

Because the family is related by blood, they should not have been viewed as rational beings due to genetic diseases.

Having lost his memory and not recognizing himself as family, he must have felt like a complete stranger.

But if that complete stranger protects me, makes me cry because of a past I don’t know about, and laughs at what I do.

Naturally, the person corresponding to ‘me’ cannot help but feel fond of that person.

And among them, Enoch was the one who corresponded to me.

Lisa was a total stranger.

At first glance, Lisa’s appearance alone made her seem like a great beauty.

Blonde hair that shines as bright as the sun, blue eyes like jewels, and a very voluptuous body.

Because of these outward appearances, Lisa could easily charm most men.

So, even Enoch, who looked like a stone, was captivated by Lisa because of this.

And now, Enoch’s face was burning red.

“Enoch?”

“Uh, yeah?”

“Speak straight. Do I like you rationally, or do I like you as a family?”

“… … .”

“If you don’t answer, I might just leave you here. Do you know what will happen to you, who has already sold your face and location?”

“… … .”

“So, tell me. This older sister loves you enough as Enoch’s guardian to ignore whatever you say.”

“… … .”

Lisa drew a line with Enoch, telling him that she loved him as her ‘protector’.

Up until now, I just felt like a mother loving and protecting her young son. It didn’t matter if I didn’t have any rational feelings.

But Enoch shed a few tears at those words.

When Lisa, who was like my first love, drew the line, my body was sad even though I didn’t know it in my head.

And Lisa noticed Enoch’s reaction.

Enoch slowly opened his mouth and spoke.

“It’s good as a family. But… … .”

Tears flowed from Enoch’s eyes.

“I don’t know yet, rationally.”

But that wasn’t the answer Lisa wanted.

“Speak straight. Do you not like it rationally or do you like it?”

Lisa only needed the right answer.

Because only then could he avoid crossing the line with Enoch, and Enoch could avoid crossing the line with himself.

If anything, he was thinking of forcing Enoch to lose his rationality through forced ‘education’.

But he doesn’t answer Lisa’s question.

He just turned his head away as if he didn’t want to answer.

“Yeah. That’s your answer.”

Tiring!

[The constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’, asks the incarnation, ‘Enoch’, to release the contract with the backline.]

[Do you want to cancel the background contract?]

[Yes / No]

A contract cancellation document appeared in front of Enoch.

[The constellations are perplexed by your decision.]

[Nebula, protests the tyrant’s decision.]

[Incarnation, ‘Enoch’ is embarrassed.]

The constellations and Enoch began to protest, saying they were not happy with my decision.

But no matter what they said, my decision did not change.

Enoch looked at me with sad eyes, as if asking why.

“I told you. If you don’t answer, I’ll leave you here. So, answer me now, right here. Or I’ll leave you here.”

“Do you love me? Or don’t you?”

“I will respect your choice, no matter what choice you make. However, if you don’t make a choice, you might die here.”

“So choose quickly. I’ll give you three seconds.”

Lisa started counting down.

“Sam.”

And every time that number came out of his mouth, Enoch and the constellations’ hearts raced.

“This.”

Enoch hesitated to answer.

The constellations just looked at Enoch in frustration.

“day.”

The countdown is over.

If things continue like this, Enoch will be abandoned.

“It’s over. So, Enoch. Sign this release quickly.”

Enoch saw the release scroll floating in front of him.

He didn’t want to sign the release form, so he ran away.

But he was slow.

Okay.

Their wrists were grabbed, and the distance between them became closer.

Originally, it might have seemed like a romantic situation, but it wasn’t like that at all.

“Sign it.”

Lisa must have been determined to abandon Enoch, because she laid Enoch’s body on the bed and pressured him to sign.

Enoch shed tears and turned away from the reality before his eyes, as if he didn’t want to be abandoned or sign.

“shi… …Rus.”

Enoch said.

Lisa asked what he meant.

“What do you hate? Do you hate seeing it rationally, or do you hate me, or do you hate signing it?”

Lisa was starting to get more and more upset.

He began to get angry at Enoch’s behavior, which was not like that of his own brother.

“Speak straight. Otherwise, I will twist your neck and forcefully terminate the contract of the backdoor.”

“!!”

widely.

And as if he meant it, he began to strangle Enoch’s neck with his hands.

Enoch was overcome with pain that made his voice crack and his vocal cords twist.

“Keuhuk… … K… … Nuna… … Me… … .”

Enoch was in pain.

But that wasn’t the answer.

“Answer quickly!! I don’t want to kill you too. I killed my mom and dad. I don’t want to kill you too!!!”

“Ri… … Sa… … Nu… … Na… … .”

“Answer me!!!”

Enoch slowly lost consciousness.

Lisa didn’t let up, wondering if Enoch was playing a prank this time.

Enoch died so slowly, very slowly.

“Enoch, answer me.”

“If you love, you love. If you don’t love, you don’t love.”

“Answer me.”

Enoch thought as he looked at Lisa.

‘I don’t know.’

If I had more time, I could have interpreted the emotions I was feeling right now.

But there was no more time.

In front of my eyes, my older sister Lisa was strangling me with the intention of killing me.

I died without being able to resist that kind of older sister.

I had a gut feeling that my death was coming.

I wish I could know.

A kaleidoscope of images flashes before my eyes.

Inside, there were parents who were strangling him, trying to kill him.

There was an older sister who would kill her parents by breaking their heads.

Even though her appearance was stained with blood, she looked dazzling because of her blonde hair.

And then, he felt emotions like gratitude, admiration, jealousy, sadness, and anger towards Lisa.

Enoch realized this feeling he had when he was nearing death.

Ugh.

Lisa’s powers have grown stronger.

He strangled Enoch with more force.

“Keuhuh… … Ugh.”

Enoch coughed.

His face turned pale.

Swish.

The hand fell off his neck.

Lisa said a word in a dizzy state of mind.

“Really, you’re not saying anything.”

“Kehek… … Kehek… … Sigh… … Haa.”

I coughed in pain as my vocal cords and airway were blocked.

Lisa didn’t care about that and just blurted out a word.

“Okay. Bye.”

Lisa got up from her seat and walked towards the door.

And her eyes turned red.

Really, it seemed like he had made up his mind to leave.

I had to say something.

I had to hold her feet to keep her from leaving.

But no voice came out.

Only a cough came out.

“Kehehehe… … Kehehe… … .”

Lisa opened the door.

Look at me again.

“Lee… … Saa… … .”

I called Lisa’s name.

She hesitated to go out.

“Ssa… … lang.”

I couldn’t continue speaking.

My mind is becoming clouded.

Oh, I have to say it. I have to say it so it won’t be thrown away.

Bam.

I couldn’t continue speaking and just fainted.

***

Enoch fell down as if dead.

But he didn’t die.

“… … .”

Toouk.

I picked up Enoch and went outside.

I couldn’t just abandon it in a place like this, so I took it out.

Tiring!

Messages from the constellations came pouring in all at once.

[Nebula, checks Enoch’s condition.]

[The constellations look at you, who strangled Enoch.]

[The incarnations of the constellations that are hostile to you are waiting for you to come out in front of the Onmyoji Mansion.]

[The incarnations of the constellations that are hostile to you are unable to enter the Onmyoji Mansion due to the barrier.]

[The constellations of the Onmyoji Mansion look upon you.]

[Nebula, the constellations of look at you.]

I walked back down the hallway, toward the entrance.

There were numerous Onmyoji at the entrance, and they were creating a barrier to prevent the incarnations from entering.

The onmyoji who had guided me to the room approached me.

“Did you have a nice time?”

“Yeah, thanks to that, Enoch is feeling a little better.”

“… … It’s okay now.”

“Yeah.”

Enoch’s face, covered in tears and spit, was shown to the onmyoji.

There was a red handprint on her neck, and Lisa’s hands were stained with something that could be tears or saliva.

They condoned what happened in the room.

“Outside, the incarnations are waiting only for you.”

“I know.”

“What would you like to do? According to the contract, I can protect you for three days. After that… … .”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of what happens after that.”

He let out a snarl.

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ releases its power.]

[Incarnations below the second level of Transcendence kneel.]

Kookookookook.

Creak.

I opened the door and went out.

Outside, outside the giant barrier, countless incarnations were waiting for me.

But among them, the number of incarnations that knelt down was seventy-one percent.

The disintegration of the clone body noticeably accelerated.

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ looks upon you.]

[Numerous incarnations are afraid of you.]

The incarnations instinctively realized that they could not defeat Lisa.

And then I read the message from the backstory.

Lisa didn’t have the goblin mask, but she could guess what the message was about.

Their eyes were turned toward Enoch.

‘Are you trying to take Enoch away?’

It can’t be left like that.

Crunch.

I picked up a gun.

It was the gun that was fired at the avatar of in the Garden of Constellations.

Of course, the constellation of was not damaged by the influence of Om.

Unlike them, I wondered whether the incarnations, whose rank was not even higher than mine, would be able to neutralize the damage from this gun.

I aimed the gun at the incarnations.

[Everyone, if you don’t want to die, get out.]

My one word gave the incarnations a cold feeling.

And they noticed the hint of the background.

Their masters just stood by and watched.

[3.]

The Onmyoji noticed and lifted the barrier.

I could have entered since the barrier was gone, but I couldn’t because of Lisa’s gaze.

Some of the incarnations who did not kneel knelt down, to act as if they too were kneeling because they could not bear the burden.

The backstory looked at such incarnations.

Lisa continued the countdown.

[2.]

Several incarnations rushed in.

Lisa crushed them with her fists.

The incarnations that rushed in were stunned by the overwhelming difference in level.

[1.]

The incarnations were terrified.

Still, Lisa loads her gun.

bang!!!!

The gun was fired.
