Chapter Index

    People do not understand the importance of something precious when it becomes obvious. At the time, I didn’t know that I was just that kind of writer.

    Student council life, which I started unexpectedly, was quite fun. In fact, it may have been a lot of fun, not in its own way.

    If I had to choose the happiest time in my life, it would have been the time when my mother was still alive, a little less than a year ago.

    Unlike my first impression, Chairman Vivian was a respectable person. Although he was born as a direct descendant of a huge family called ‘Ludwig’, he was never arrogant or looked down on others.

    She always thought of others first. It seemed as if the ‘ideal nobleman’ itself had been transformed into a human being.

    “Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? By any chance… are you going to confess?! Oh my, what should we do, Magpie? This Vivian student council president is already married to Beatus.. If you really think about it, I have over 100 husbands..”

    “You’re crying about a plague. I saw him with his hair in his mouth.”

    “Even if you say that, this delicate sister can’t marry a magpie… My sickly sister is going to die soon. Hehehehehehe… We are in a love that cannot come true. Student Dyers, member of the probation committee..!”

    “Did I lose my mind after reading a romance novel about a terminally ill patient like that yesterday? It ended like that, with the male protagonist dying. And dying, I don’t say things like that lightly.”

    I gave spoilers as if I was breathing to the girl who kept teasing me.

    The sight of people opening their mouths in shock is truly exhilarating. I need to use it often.

    “..What? I haven’t read it all yet, but wow..! her..! You really don’t do that, magpie..!”

    “After reading the novel, people who already enjoyed it started to enjoy it even more. This is why young people shouldn’t see things like that.”

    “Wow, you just looked like a real old man, magpie. From now on, your nickname will be Cone Magpie. Do you understand?! Confucius of Magpie Diars!”

    “Don’t be a jerk. Go first.”

    “Wow, why did you say such harsh words to your senior.. Why did you go first and let’s go together~”

    …Even though she looked like this, she was a student council president with excellent abilities and personality.

    Although he is playful and kind to most people, the frequency of his pranks was especially excessive for me. In your own words, did you say it was an expression of friendliness?

    She always worked late. I followed Vivian and worked overtime repeatedly.

    At some point, it became very natural for us to stay together late into the night.

    “Our magpie~ Are you working with your pretty sister today too..? Actually, Dyers enjoys spending time with me, right? I’m really touched…”

    Every time that happened, Vivian smiled brightly and joked as if to refute it. I didn’t say anything because I was embarrassed, but she was right.

    I enjoyed spending time with Vivian. Because when I was with her, I was able to forget the sins I had committed.

    She may seem playful and light-hearted on the outside, but on the inside, she is a woman as strong as a wall.

    He was a person who made you laugh just thinking about it, but he wasn’t funny.

    Although she always seemed to be joking around and thinking nothing of it, in reality, Vivian was the one who secretly took care of her juniors the most.

    I wanted to be that kind of person.

    One day, Vivian seemed especially sleepy.

    No matter how much she had superhuman mental powers, she was still human. My eyelids are slowly closing as the endless paperwork fills me.

    “….I don’t know how many days I’ve been working already. There really are so many in human terms. Why do documents keep multiplying every day? Why why? for what reason? The handsome gentleman over there, are you the criminal? If you don’t get rid of this document right now, I’ll get rid of you!”

    She played around trying to shake off her drowsiness. I took it in moderation.

    “If you remove me, the documents will multiply several times.”

    “That is absolutely not possible. Let’s assume that the magpie lives by my side all his life, looking at documents and me.”

    “Even if that’s the case, it’s a document, why do you need to see it?”

    “Is that because I look very pretty? Before I eat, I take a look at the hanging oysters… Isn’t it similar to something like that…?”

    She was so sleepy that she started talking nonsense.

    “……If you are very tired, you can sleep for a while. I can handle the remaining amount.”

    “That’s not possible.. The chairman needs to set a better example so that the juniors can do well..”

    “In the end, I was defeated by sleep.”

    In the end, that day, I laid her down on the sofa and did all the work myself.

    After finishing all my work, I leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep.

    “…Are you done?”

    “…….”

    “Did you do this all by yourself? I’d rather wake you up…”

    “……..”

    “How can I live without you anymore, magpie? Should we just live together forever? With my younger brother..?”

    I think she whispered something to me at that time, but I can’t quite remember.

    .

    The 13th floor expedition has begun.

    While making it to the final stage, countless people were eliminated.

    The remaining ones were me, Vivian, Kirshen, and Erdan.

    The battle was worth trying. I also felt like I could win if I did well.

    lost.

    “Ahh.. it hurts.”

    “……”

    “Hehehe. Why are you looking at me like that, magpie? Run away quickly, quickly!”

    President Vivian fell under the debris for me.

    Must be saved.

    We must save Vivian. That thought alone controlled me.

    Even while all my classmates were running away, I headed forward to save the chairman. Kirshen and Erdan caught me like that.

    “Come to your senses!! Do you think the chairman wants you to be followed here too?!”

    “Let go of this! Are you telling me to run away again? Are you telling me to be a coward!?”

    “Yes! If you don’t run away, everyone will die…! Come quickly!”

    “Let go! Let go of this..! Vivian!!”

    I had no strength at all because I had used up all my mana in the battle.

    As Kirshen moves his footsteps, the distance between Vivian and me increases.

    It got further and further away.

    President Vivian smiled mischievously until the moment the door closed.

    “Thank goodness, really.”

    What do you mean by luck? I lost you. Vivian, I will never see you again.

    That fact drove me crazy.

    Unlike when I was young, I had strength. There was also a will to save it.

    Nevertheless, this time, nothing was saved.

    I couldn’t keep my sanity.

    I had no confidence in living.

    .

    By the time I came to my senses, I had already become the first execution officer.

    Then, naturally, a junior came in.

    He was a stupid-looking kid with platinum-blonde hair.

    “…Ah, ah, hello..! As I told you last time, my name is Latina and my family is from Sili..!”

    “It’s annoying. Don’t talk to me.”

    “…Ah, yes. Sorry for talking to you..! I will work hard!”

    She bowed her head and greeted me without even knowing what she was saying.

    Working hard? What does that mean?

    They’ll all die anyway.

    “Try hard. Because no one will know.”

    “Yes..! I will work hard!”

    “…This kind of talent makes you even go to the student council.”

    It was a strange kid.

    So I deliberately didn’t give affection to it. Because I’m weak to strange people.

    My intuition was correct. Latina was truly a strange person.

    “Then, we’ll do it all again! Thank you again today..!”

    A timid subject who doesn’t know how to give up. It might be better to be bold. What if you can’t even make eye contact properly?

    “…Aren’t you tired?”

    “Hi, …yeah!”

    “Ha…”

    I didn’t get tired and kept trying to do something. Although he was clumsy in everything he did, he clearly had talent.

    So we evaluated it more rigorously. I may have treated him more harshly.

    If you’ve done this much, just move away.

    There was even a time when paper was torn right before my eyes. There was a time when I made up my mind and doubled the work.

    “I’ll work hard, senior!”

    “…..Okay, do whatever you want.”

    From that point on, I began to take Latina for granted.

    Then, he got seriously injured in the dungeon.

    The doctor said I needed a kidney, so they took my kidney.

    I still don’t know why that happened.

    Anyway, I couldn’t give up on the challenge of the 13th floor, or rather President Vivian, so I continued preparing for the expedition.

    In order to gather materials to prepare for the expedition, it was necessary to go through other dungeons.

    Did you say it was a dungeon where a person named ‘Seolgwi’ lived?

    Kirshen, I, and Latina entered the dungeon.

    Just before I almost cleared the dungeon, I couldn’t avoid the last attack. The body that lost the kidney was much weaker.

    I felt fatally wounded by an unexpected attack, but I was fine.

    Latina got hit on my behalf.

    She is lying down and is out of breath. The platinum-blond hair turned white.

    I knew right away because I had studied it all my life. This is a kind of curse. It’s also an incredibly powerful curse.

    If we leave it like this, Latina will die within 10 hours.

    I calmly asked her.

    “Why did you do that?”

    “… I’m sorry… I… I… I just… I was afraid that my senior would get hurt, so I felt like I had to save him… I just… wanted to save him…”

    “Did you kill yourself for such a pathetic reason? Thanks to that, you will soon die.”

    “Ah… it hurts a lot… But… you weren’t hurt, so… I…”

    “……”

    “That’s enough for me..”

    After finishing speaking, Latina lost her mind. My body couldn’t take it anymore.

    I can survive if I run away. No one will blame themselves.

    This wasn’t my mistake, Latina ran in and got hit on her own.

    Neither Kirshen, nor Latina, nor anyone will blame me.

    “I want to save it…”

    Now that I think about it, I have one person to blame: me.

    grow.

    If Latina dies like this, I will blame myself. You will resent it. I will hate you for the rest of my life.

    It was like that when my mother fell from a curse and when President Vivian stayed behind to save me.

    I can never forgive myself.

    I lost everything.

    Actually, I already know that my mother’s curse cannot be lifted. I tried several times, but it wasn’t a solution that could be solved.

    In fact, we already know that Chairman Vivian is probably dead. No human being would be able to withstand that long.

    And this guy in front of you probably doesn’t have much left.

    I closed my eyes tightly.

    “I couldn’t find anything.”

    “……”

    “You saved me.”

    Now all that’s left is my body.

    “There’s nothing left for me.”

    It’s a gamble.

    This time we will definitely succeed.

    Absorbs the curse. Using my lifelong research, I drew a magic circle with blood as a makeshift solution.

    Kirshen looked at me in fascination. He looks worried about what he might do.

    The Howlan family has a strong vitality.

    The cursed Latina would have died within 10 hours at most, but I could have survived for several years.

    I grabbed her arm and started chanting a spell.

    “So, I put everything on the line…”

    “…Your hair is turning white…”

    “I’ll save you, Latina.”

    I want to save it this time.

    That’s what I thought.
