When I opened the door and went in, I saw a sight that was even worse than I expected.

“Sorry. sorry..! I can’t pay the rent yet because I haven’t come up with the money yet.. Please show mercy for one more week..”

A woman with mint blue hair, presumed to be Pur’s mother, is bowing down in misery and praying. They probably misunderstood Dyers as a subordinate of the lord.

She was very thin, probably due to lack of nutrition, but looking at her beautiful face, it seemed like she was Pur’s mother.

“I’m sorry..”

“Dad, I’ll pay you back quickly. Please hit me gently. I’m scared of being sick…”

Behind her, a younger sibling who was thought to be Pur’s younger brother was bowing his head. The younger siblings were also in a slightly better situation, but their health seemed to be poor.

“……”

An unconscious man was lying on an old bed in the right corner. Dyers knew instinctively.

This is the person Pur always talked about.

It’s her father.

“……”

It may seem like a random thing to say, but Dyers believed that humans are animals that live with hope.

In other words, if there is no hope for the future, humans will die little by little without being able to survive even for a moment. Slowly, without even knowing that he was dying…

It is a terrible thing to criticize and criticize someone else’s family. Dyers, who currently does not have a proper family, knew that fact better than anyone else.

Nevertheless, when I see this scene, a thought naturally comes to mind.

It is truly a hopeless environment.

This is a family whose planned future is filled with nothing but tragedy and misfortune.

Dyers wanted to save the people in front of him. I do not sympathize with unhappy families. It’s not like I pity a woman who is dry because she can’t eat.

If they are not saved, Fur will lose hope in life.

People without hope cannot survive even a single moment. You die slowly without even knowing that you are dying.

Just as Pur met death as Odium.

I didn’t want to even imagine such a disgusting future. Because the Pur he knew was not a murderer who enjoyed killing others.

He helped Pur’s mother, who was leaning close to her, to her feet.

“Hey.. Why are you suddenly calling me..?”

The woman, who felt puzzled by the completely different treatment from those who owed money, asked very carefully.

“I am not here to collect rent.”

He answered her question by taking out the food he had brought with him. In order to ease their guard, we even put on a smile that is not often seen.

“My name is Dyers, Alphin Fur’s academy colleague.”

“…I’m scared, mom.”

“Huhhh!!”

“……”

It seems that the operation to lower their guard has failed.

…Does it look that scary? Now that I think about it, Purdo looked like he was on the verge of crying when we first met.

.

Although he was born into a poor family of serfs, he never resented his parents.

A mother who is kinder than anyone else, and a father who is a bit blunt but actually loves her more than anyone else. The little brothers fill me with happiness just by looking at them.

Pur, who was born with magical talent, wanted to make his family happy.

Her parents spent all their money and went into debt to send Pur to the academy. Therefore, I had to graduate with a high GPA. Only then can you become a wizard who makes a lot of money.

Life at the lonely academy without any friends was no different from hell. Living in a foreign country was enough to remind me of my beloved hometown.

I wanted to go back. Even now, I want to give up everything and return to my family. Pur had that thought every day while reading the A-rank magic book.

It was hope that helped me endure the hellish academy life.

Her hope was her family. I could do anything for my family. Anything could be thrown away.

Pur was able to see his family yesterday.

A mother whose half face was burned by a fire started by the lord’s son.

I thought my dad woke up after receiving the money, but in fact he still hasn’t regained consciousness since he collapsed.

Children still living in hunger.

I felt more puzzled than angry, and sad rather than puzzled.

Pur asked. What happened to the money he sent and whether anything changed?

He said he never received it.

Pur asked again. You said in the letter that your father regained consciousness, but why is he still like that?

He said he had never sent such a letter.

Fur’s head turned quickly. This was the work of the lord. He intercepted the money that Dyers gave him at the cost of his life and sent a letter falsifying its contents.

Her feelings after learning the whole truth were surprisingly simple.

She looked up at the blue sky as she went out to dig up herbs. Then he muttered quietly.

“I want to die.”

It was sincere without a single lie.

I wanted to drop everything and end my life in a quiet place with no one around. If Dyers found out about his death, he might be shocked.

I want to die. But I’m scared of getting sick.

What kind of money is that? Everything was taken away.

It was money he received from the first colleague he met at the academy.

It was money she received from the man she first fell in love with.

I want to die. No, I want to kill him.

For the first time in her life, she imagined killing another person. It was a change that even surprised me.

I want to kill him.

I want to kill the lord’s son who made my mother’s face look like that.

I want to kill the lord who stole the money to save my fallen father. I just want to kill them all. I want to die after that.

Pur repeatedly dug up herbs with unfocused eyes.

“Ah.”

Then I lost my foot and fell down the mountain. My whole body was scratched by tree branches and I had wounds here and there. The legs seem to have stretched ligaments.

“…Still, I’m glad.”

Fortunately, the herb was safe.

She limped home. After enduring my sore legs, I was finally able to arrive.

Pur looked at the same house door as before with lifeless eyes. And tried to pull the door.

“Hihi!”

“It’s really, really delicious, oppa!”

‘…what?’

Laughter is heard.

Just as she was wondering for a moment, she heard the voice she had longed for even in her dreams.

“Eat slowly.”

A relaxed yet strong voice with a mid-low tone.

At the thought of this possibility, my heart begins to speed up little by little of its own accord.

Instead of opening the door, she put her ear close. Then the sound got louder and louder.

“So how did you first get to know Purang..?”

How did you first find out?

It wasn’t a good relationship.

At first I thought he was a scary person.

“At first, I thought it was just a small child.”

After getting to know him a little, I thought he was a very deep friend.

“After getting to know Pur a little, I thought he was a really strong kid.”

As we spend more time together, there are more times to rely on you.

“As we spent more time together, I often received help.”

As time passed, my fondness deepened. This was closer to necessity than coincidence.

When I ate the food he cooked, I was happy because it was delicious.

When we went out together, I liked the pretty flowers.

Even if I erased all that, just looking at his face made my day feel full.

“And then…”

And then before I knew it.

“He has become an indispensable person to me.”

“……”

He became his own hope.

“I value Purr a lot.”

His hope was beyond the door.

Anyway, I didn’t open the door first. This is because the moment I overheard his words, I became unable to do anything properly.

Sigh.

In the end, it was Dyers who opened the door first. He looked at the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression.

“Pur..? What are you doing here?”

My heart pumped repeatedly as if it would explode. At the same time, the entire face glows red like bread spread with strawberry jam.

If you look at him now with this feverish face that looks like it’s about to burst.

It seems like even a man with no sense of sense would definitely be able to tell.

“Hello.”

The first words I barely spoke were goodbye. It’s beyond pathetic. Nevertheless, Dyers continued speaking, touching his neck apologetically.

Pur saw that and couldn’t bear it any longer. I don’t know what I couldn’t bear, but I couldn’t bear it anyway.

“I’m sorry about what happened back then. I didn’t mean to meet her. To separate myself from you…”

“Yes. I know too.”

Fur ran quickly and held his body in the air. Because the height difference was quite large, it was like a squirrel stuck on an old tree.

She thought, feeling Dyers’ body temperature.

I want to be with this man for the rest of my life.

.

Pur and her family seemed satisfied with their first proper meal in a while and took a nap.

I looked at them and thought about many things before closing my eyes. As expected, I couldn’t sleep because of the pain of the curse.

Feeling uncomfortable due to fatigue, I suddenly thought of Pur’s mother’s burn marks. The guy who did that says he’s still living shamelessly, wondering what he did wrong.

“Is there anyone there?! I heard that Pur is back!”

I thought again.

I hope the owner of this voice is that bastard, the lord’s eldest son.
