“Okay, well, there’s a redhead here too. When you get home later, come sneakily to my room. Then I’ll let you know.”

“Ah, Seohyun unnie… I get it! But, Yunseul unnie also calls me Blanc. Why do you call me that?”

“Oh, that’s right. It’s nothing. Because he’s my enemy?”

“Then Sister Blanc doesn’t have a nickname?”

“Yes. From the beginning to the end, Blanc was Blanc, right? Hmm… Really. When I think about it, Blanc and I fought for a really long time… ”

“But still. We’re not fighting now, right?”

“That’s because I lost in the end. Well, even though I lost, there’s still a good thing about it. I also got this cute little sister.”

Seriously, it’s true that Arin is a source of strength.

“Hehehe… ”

Arin turned her head toward me as if she liked it and buried it in her arms.

I see Ellie holding my warm heart like that.

It looks like Ellie wants to come, but she’s holding back.

I called Ellie with a hand gesture. She came out and hugged me like a little child.

It’s warm.

Human touch. How long has it been since you felt the presence of loved ones around you?

I want to forget about that damn moon village now.

How sad it is to be unable to forget even when you want to.

I’m only now feeling it deeply.

Should I try hard to cover it up?

Well, if it gets covered up.

Even if it’s not like that, even if I have to cover it up for the rest of my life.

My karma, my sins…

If it decreases even a little bit…

“Hey! Are you awake?”

Before I could even think about that, Blanc kicked open the door and came rushing in.

“Yes. I woke up refreshed. Why is Blanc a bit…active?”

“Ah, the broadcast schedule for today disappeared. Seohyun, do you want to go in and rest?”

“Oh, Sister. You’re here? Well. I don’t mind. I’m a little worried about the kids.”

“That’s right. If it weren’t for the magical girls and villains. If you look at it this way, doesn’t it look like kids of this age?”

“Yes. That’s right. But if you look inside… One is an intelligent and vicious villain with a history of kidnapping magical girls… The other is a super rookie magical girl with the fastest growth rate in history… ”

“Yes. The last one is the worst villain ever. A villain who stands alone against a force made up of elite magical girls from all over the world. The damage is the greatest ever. And the loss of life is the least ever. The famous Dark Vine.”

“What the… How is this… ”

“Well, that could be true. Right now, it’s more important to be called Binnie and Arin than to have a nickname or a bad name.”

“What about Ellis?”

“Hmm… Not yet. Oh, right. Ellis. Do you want to come here?”

“Ah, Blanc… Ugh… I don’t want to go out.”

Ellie, looking at Blanc with eyes that said she really didn’t want to leave, whether she found the most comfortable position or the warmest spot.

“Really? Hmm… ”

“Hee, hic? I’ll go! I’ll go right now!”

“Oh, no. It’s there.”

“I’m sorry for disobeying your orders, even though I’m just a villain and Blanc’s property! I’ll run out right away!!”

“Stay still.”

“Hiccup… ?!”

What is going on…

Oh right. Contract magic.

If you use it on a monster, it works like that.

“It’s nothing, why are you making such a fuss? Well, if I told you to die, you’d act like you were going to die.”

“Of course! If it’s Blanc’s order!!”

Hmm… Even putting aside the fact that it’s contract magic.

Making such a fuss…

Ah, a man holding on to his life.

“Blanc, I told you not to do anything bad to Ellie.”

“Huh… ?”

“If you speak so recklessly in a commanding tone, the contract magic will crush the core? Please be careful.”

“Huh? Commanding tone… ?”

“Yes. Imperative. It’s the same imperative that I just said. I mean imperatives like ‘come here’ and ‘stop’… As you can see, if you don’t follow it, it’s a huge burden.”

“Really… ? Oh… Sorry. So, Ellis. No. Wouldn’t it be better if we watched it together?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“I made an Alice room. I wanted to let you see what it was like. Wouldn’t it be better if you came with me to see it?”

“If that’s the case… Even if it wasn’t an order, if you called, Ellie would’ve said she liked it and run to me… ”

“Okay. Okay. Here.”

Blanc held up his phone to Ellie, who was sitting next to me, for a nice view.

The room on the screen has the same layout as my room, but it seems like it was ordered or something. It feels like it’s filled with the furniture Ellie wanted.

“So, what should Ellie do?”

“That’s for you to decide.”

“Yes… ?”

“Why. You asked to hire us. We don’t even know what to do. Didn’t you ask to hire us because you were having a hard time?”

“Ah, ugh… ”

“Or, we don’t really have a reason to hire them. Why don’t we just let them work for the association?”

“Yes, I understand… I should think about it… ”

“Okay. Ellis, is there anything missing?”

“Oh, no! Even if Blanc tells me to live as a pet in a dog house with a dog bowl, I will follow you unconditionally!”

“Ellis. It’s burdensome, so don’t do that. I’m not threatening you. Right?”

“That, that… The one who holds onto your lifeline… What he says… Of course… ”

“Ah, this contract magic. Seriously. Can’t I transfer it to someone else?”

“Yes… ? You’re selling me out… ?”

Ellie was horrified by Blanc’s words that he was trying to hand over his ownership and began to plead with him.

“Please… I, I can really do it… Okay? Please… ”

“I’m not selling slaves or anything. What do I want to do with this annoying contract magic?”

“That, this, this much… Not a slave… ”

“No, it’s rain. Do you know how to move this?”

“I know, but… who are you going to hand it over to? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to let it go?”

“Um… I’m still worried though… I want to hand it over to someone I can trust. If he always acts like this to me… I feel uncomfortable too. Vine, do you want to hand it over?”

“Yes… ?”

Oh my, has this magical girl lost her mind?

“What kind of novel idea is that? What if I make a contract with Ellie, run away, and create a new Eden?”

“You? Are you really going to do that?”

“This time it might be real.”

“Really? If you run away and don’t do anything bad, I won’t bother to catch you.”

“Yes… ?”

“Um… But. Are you really going?”

“Ugh… Really… ”

“Okay. So. Do you know how to pass it? Then I’ll pass it right away.”

“Hmm… I’ve tried it on monsters, but I don’t know about monsters. And you can’t guarantee the safety of the magic core by doing that. It’s kind of like that.”

“Ugh… Seriously, this is annoying. I don’t want to be in this kind of relationship with Ellis either. Don’t you, Ellis?”

Well, Ellie…

“I, I’m fine with any kind of relationship! It’s embarrassing that I can still be alive as a villain…!”

“Ellis. What are you doing? Sigh… Vinnie, please do something… ”

“Well, you brought this upon yourself. You put a contract spell on Ellie, well. If it’s wrong, then it’s wrong.”

“So, I’m handing over that faulty contract to you… ”

“If you just release it, it’s over. It’s a contract. Hmm… But, the termination of the contract magic… Ellie’s magic core would have already been completely saturated with your magic. When you suddenly separated them. Hmm… It’s because the magic cores of the monster and the monster are different… ”

“Haa… Anyway. Let’s talk about that later. If we continue here, it seems like it’ll go on and on. So, Ellis. How’s your room?”

“I, I would really appreciate it if you gave me a dog house! If it was something Blanc-sama gave me…!”

“Ugh… Really. Ellis, stop that weird attitude. I think I’d rather be the reckless little Ellis I know. Really.”

“Ah, then… Ugh… ”

“Huh? Why are you looking like that?”

Ellie, who was fidgeting, seemed to be struggling with her beliefs and orders in her head. She shook her head violently, but then finally, as if she had gathered her thoughts, she opened her mouth and spoke to Blanc.

“That, that’s right… Blanc! Is it done now!”

He looked at Blanc, trembling, as if he too was afraid of what he had said.

“Yeah. This is better. But, isn’t it too drastically different? Hmm… It’s too cheap… No, it feels like I’ve gone back to the old days.”

“What, uh… What do you want me to do! Looking at me! You have your lifeline on a leash! What do you want with that! ”

“Umm… Could you be a little more friendly? Ellis, you’re too extreme. No matter how much I think about it.”

“What are you saying? What’s wrong with me? I don’t know. Since you told me to do this, I’m going to do this from now on. Merong! Even if you tell me to go back to being polite, I won’t listen! Ah, if it’s an order… Ugh… ”

“Haa, really… Vinnie, can you take responsibility and help Ellis not have an accident?”

“I can’t do that, but I’ll try.”

“Yeah. I trust you. Haa… Bang, so what?”

Ellie looked closely at the picture of what would become her room, and made one request.

“Please give me a bed where I can sleep with Binnie. I need time to sleep with Binnie.”

“This guy, really. Blanc, you can just ignore this.”

“Mmm, beds… It was time to change the dorm beds anyway. And there was some budget left. And… I can sleep with Binnie… Mmm… That’s good. Yeah. That’s good.”

When Ellie heard that answer, she thought it would really grant all her demands.

“Huh? Are you listening? Then I’ll get something else too…! The new massage chair that just came out! That and the computer… and the beverage fridge… ”

“What are you talking about, seriously! Blanc! You can ignore all of this!”

Because now you’re talking nonsense!

In this case, I had no choice but to cover Ellie’s mouth with both hands!

I guess he likes it because it looks like he’s hugging me tightly.

This… Really…
