It was only after looking back in time for a while that Lufia regained her senses.

I was in a daze with the time independence skill turned off, and only activated it again after Lufia came to her senses.

Although she pretends to be fine on the outside, Lufia is currently in a state of mental breakdown.

So, I have no choice but to make a suggestion first.

“Rupiah. Let’s go to the management office.”

In this situation, the only person who has a chance of being alive and who hates me enough to kill me is Karjen.

I don’t know whether the Lord of Death’s power or Karjen’s immortality would be superior, but as long as there’s even the slightest possibility, it’s worth a try.

“…To the management bureau? why? It’s already there… .”

“The Management Bureau holds the key to solving this situation. Trust me just once.”

Lufia, who had a complicated expression on her face, quickly nodded.

“Not just once. I always trust Zeke.”

Lufia took me with her and flew towards the management bureau.

‘It seems like it’s become even more messed up than before.’

The Bureau that I returned with Lufia was in even more disarray than what I saw when I left.

I think it was because of the battle between Karjen and Ker, but the two were nowhere to be found.

Ker was probably dead, and Karjen most likely headed to a nearby city to prey on humans.

‘It’s been a day since the riot, so they must have already arrived in the city and are eating humans.’

First, I asked Lufia to help me clear away the rubble and find Karjen.

It’s unlikely, but he might be sleeping in a pile of rubble.

Lufia obediently complied.

We lifted up the piles of rubble, removed them one by one, and searched for things that seemed strange to Karjen.

But just in case, it was just in case.

Even though I searched through all the rubble, I couldn’t find Karjen.

Instead, I found something unexpected.

“Ker, come to your senses.”

Kerr, who was found in a pile of rubble, was surprisingly alive.

I’m not sure how I survived the black wave, but having Ker makes it easier for me to track down Karjen, so it’s a good thing for me.

“Wow… . oh… .”

Ker opened his eyes with difficulty, saw me, smiled, and slowly waggled his tail.

“Ker, do you know where Karjen went? An unpleasant woman with red hair, strange tentacles, and the smell of blood.”

“Ugh… . I’m not sure.”

As expected, I don’t know.

Because Ker doesn’t remember when he was in a state of runaway.

“Then can you find it by smell?”

“Smell… . huh. I’ll try.”

Ker sniffed into the air.

And immediately he frowned and plugged his nose.

“Wow, strange smell. The whole area is full of the smell of corpses.”

“Oh my… .”

I thought I could track Karjen by scent, but the smell of a corpse stopped me.

Lufia’s time reversal is blocked, and Ker’s nose is also blocked.

Things have been going badly since a while ago.

“Zeke. What are you going to do now?”

Lupia crosses her arms and taps her elbow with her fingers, openly showing that she is in a bad mood.

How can you be jealous even in this situation?

Even if it becomes mellow, rupiah is still rupiah.

I can’t help it.

I helped Ker stand up and approached Lufia.

Lufia also took a step towards me and bumped her forehead against my chest.

“Zeek, do you love me?”

“…of course I love you.”

I hugged Lufia, who seemed anxious again.

Lufia also wrapped her arms around me and squeezed the clothes on my back.

Seeing that his hands were quite strong, he was probably suppressing the urge to kill Ker out of jealousy.

I patted Rupiah’s head to show that she was doing well.

Rupiah seemed somewhat reassured by this, and relaxed the strength in his hands.

“Hey… .”

Ker was looking at me with bright eyes from the side.

“Are you two going to mate?”

Why is this crazy asshole so obsessed with mating?

“Haha.”

In the midst of her embarrassment, Lufia burst into laughter.

Was the tension relieved by Kerr’s unexpected remarks?

Lufia looked at me with a refreshed expression, all anxiety gone.

Then he made a mischievous face and started playing with my thighs.

“Do you want to do it? I like it.”

I’m really dizzy.

Well, I’m only saying this half jokingly.

The problem was that the naive Ker couldn’t take this as a joke.

“Are you going to do it? Then embrace me too!”

Ker’s eyes are even wider than before, and his tail is wagging frantically.

Soon his neck twisted and he died.

‘…This is Ker’s fault. cancer.’

Time went back slightly, and Lufia roughly stroked Ker with a smile that suppressed her anger.

“Ker? You can’t say things like that carelessly. Because Zeke is mine.”

“Can’t I just lend you a little bit? You really only need to borrow a small amount.”

“No.”

“Peep… .”

Look at the level of conversation.

It’s very sad.

“Zeke. I think Ker needs proper sex education.”

“Wouldn’t you have tried it if it were me?”

“….Ah.”

Sex education was provided a long time ago, but it was of no use.

In the first place, you can see that there is no answer just by looking at the wolf subject and not understanding monogamy.

“Next destination is the North Continent.”

After resting for a while, I told Rufia my new destination.

“Why in the North Continent..?”

“There is someone in the North Continent who can solve this situation.”

The person you will meet this time is Azta.

A frost witch trapped in Azta’s body.

If I wake up that frost witch, won’t she kill me?

Of course, it is unclear whether Azta will successfully lift the seal, but it is worth a try anyway.

“In addition, I will also take Ker with me. Kerr, are you okay?”

“Yes! I want to go with Zeke!”

Lufia asked with a disapproving expression.

“Why Ker?”

“It’s very cold in the North Continent. It’s for heating.”

I touched Ker’s furry tail.

I always feel warm and fluffy.

“For heating? What is that?”

Ker tilted his head and asked.

“It means warm and fluffy.”

“That’s perfect for me!”

“That’s right. It’s just you.”

I don’t know what it is, but Ker is wagging his tail and looking happy.

I stroked Ker’s head.

At this, Lufia sighed.

“…If Zeke is like that.”

It seemed like she reluctantly agreed, but anyway, Lufia took Ker and me and flew to the North Continent.

weird.

A huge black force suddenly felt.

It was the power of the Witch of Death that had been sealed in an artificial body in the past.

Why did I wake up from the seal?

Is the artificial body dead?

I was definitely sworn to keep it safe.

[Foolish. There is no compulsion in an oath. Humans don’t keep their promises.]

… Noisy.

Don’t interfere with other people’s thoughts.

[I will refuse. You have no right to stop me.]

Have you forgotten that you were already sealed by me?

[remember. I am still longing for freedom like this.]

You can’t get your freedom back.

From now on, forever.

[I will deny it. Seals are not permanent. It’s destined to break someday. The only thing that is eternal is my art.]

That’s not art.

It’s cruel torture.

[I understand. Everyone has their own aesthetic, but it is not easy to accept the aesthetics of others.]

Stop babbling.

Because I don’t want to talk to you.

[I want to become friends. We’ve been together for hundreds of years. We need to talk more.]

I’d rather sleep than talk to you.

[It’s impossible. You have someone waiting for you.]

There’s no need to wait.

It’s just a moment of entertainment.

[It is a lie. You’re looking forward to talking to him. As long as he keeps coming, you can never choose to sleep.]

No, it’s not.

It’s just a momentary relationship that will disappear anyway.

I don’t dwell on that.

I can give up if necessary.

[I will deny it. He is the only stimulation in your world, which is filled with darkness and the sound of the wind. You can never give up on him.]

you can do it.

[I can’t do it.]

Don’t try to judge me.

I can do it.

Because it’s always been that way.

[Wrong. Just because yesterday and today were clear, there is no guarantee that tomorrow will be clear as well.]

I have no intention of discussing right or wrong.

Because this is a matter of mindset.

[It’s a contradiction. Before discussing mindset, how about making your mind clear first?]

Noisy.

Please be quiet.

[It’s a pity. Who would have thought that the hero that all humans looked up to was being ruined like this?]

Don’t bring up that story.

I’m not a hero.

I don’t deserve that.

[I agree. you are not a hero You don’t deserve it. Embracing me is just a meaningless sacrifice.]

No, it’s not a meaningless sacrifice.

People are living in this world now.

If there is at least one person alive, this sacrifice has meaning.

[I’ll make a suggestion. I won’t kill any more people, so get me out. I will stay calmly in the Northern Continent like this, and you go see him. That’s the way to be happy together, right?]

Do not be ridiculous.

Who knows what your intentions are?

Who are you trying to fool?

[It’s true. I no longer need to kill people.]

shut up.

I don’t negotiate with witches.

Especially if she is the worst witch who destroyed my hometown.

[It’s a pity. I tried to save you because of the long time we spent together. You’re throwing away your last chance.]

what?

What are you saying now… .

bang-!

A loud noise was heard.

At the same time, the sound of heavy stones falling was heard.

The sanctuary is collapsing.

It must be protected by the power of the holy sword, but how?

[It’s meaningless. The world is already full of black. So now there is no one in this world who can stop ‘Sister’. The same applies to that famous holy sword.]

Sister?

“This is my first time seeing you in person, a hero of the old world. It’s fate that we met like this, but we say goodbye to each other.”

It’s a voice I’ve never heard before.

Although I couldn’t see it because my eyes were closed, I could tell that the owner of this voice was the one who destroyed the sanctuary.

“This body is the lord of war. I came to get back my younger brother who was fooled by humans.”
