Before Kati came forward.

Sylvia pushed the sea dragon to the brink of death, but was unable to finish it in the end.

Ian was watching it.

‘Maybe it would be possible to use that technology… .’

However, that is not a magic that can control an area.

Ian’s gaze returned to Katy, who was guarding Ian next to him.

Aria’s protection was broken, and it took quite a while to recreate that level of protection.

The dockside was a battleground with monsters that had returned, but they were not threatening.

Their numbers were now extremely low, and victory was clear as long as they killed that sea dragon.

“Kathi.”

“Yes.”

“Can you kill that sea dragon?”

Kati saw a sea dragon flipping by.

“Just give the command.”

“No, tell me if it is definitely possible or not. I need to know if there’s even a chance you could get hurt.”

“… … .”

Kati maintained her composure by forcibly pulling down the corners of her mouth that kept rising.

These days, competitors are increasing and they are more active.

It’s hard to bear.

It wasn’t once or twice that I thought about secretly visiting him at night.

Suppressing an impulse that was inappropriate for this situation, Kati looked at the sea dragon again.

“If you use the power you recently learned from Galatea. I think it’s easy.”

“… Yes.”

Ian nodded.

I couldn’t think long.

If time goes by, Sylvia will get hurt.

I’m not worried about her.

Once we get past Sylvia, the sea dragon will come up to this dock.

“Kathi.”

“Yes.”

“I want to change the perception of prisoners.”

“… … .”

“I think you can help me with that now.”

The first hero party in crisis.

The final appearance of Mine follows.

It is a production that is sure to leave an impression on all witnesses present here.

The person who will stand in front of everyone is already famous.

Wasn’t she widely known as Philip and Ian’s maid?

Ian finished calculating.

In fact, even if that calculation had not been made, Kathi would have been sent.

With an eye patch on and ears and tail hidden.

“Go and show me.”

Kati immediately pulled out two daggers and ran out.

There was a very brief delay.

Because I imagined kissing her.

I imagined kissing him playfully and lightly and running into the battlefield as if running away.

He can’t resist or fight back.

Why are you acting like this these days?

It wasn’t Katy’s fault.

It’s Ian’s crime that’s so lovely to Katy.

In an instant, Kati approached Sylvia.

I could feel the will to not give up yet on my tired back.

Sylvia was always in front of Kati.

She was human.

She was Ian’s warrior.

She was stronger than Kati.

Kati caught up with Sylvia.

Kati is also human.

Kati is also Ian’s hero.

Kati is now as strong as she is.

Maybe more than her.

And, at least I got the first kiss.

“Road.”

Although it was said briefly, you would have understood it.

The first hero party does not talk at length when cooperating.

As expected, Sylvia didn’t even check and built a staircase to climb up to the sea dragon’s head.

Climbing the ice stairs, I reversed my sword and held it.

Two daggers given as a gift by Ian to Katy, who is always intent on protecting Ian.

moon and stars.

Gala and Relta.

It is a sword that glows differently when filled with mana and maximizes its cutting power.

The moon and stars seem different yet similar, and always lie in the same night sky.

The two swords that symbolized it reminded me of Ian and myself.

Ian and Kati.

Humans and Demons.

No, humans and beastmen.

From now on, a signal will be raised that will shatter the misunderstood knowledge of the demons.

That was Ian’s wish, but it was also Carty’s own wish.

It was my first time.

It’s a life that didn’t exist except for Ian.

But, for the first time, something I wanted came up.

I wanted to get official recognition that demons are not humans’ enemies.

I wanted everyone to know that.

Then, I can officially and proudly be by Ian’s side.

There will be no legal problems later when you go through the marriage process.

In the end, if you look back, this wish was also for Ian’s sake.

Because of Ian.

Because I love Ian.

All of this, all because I want to be by your side.

I was infinitely happy and grateful for that.

My whole life was filled with that.

If that’s the case, it’s okay to drown and die.

Actually, it’s not good.

Because I won’t be able to see him if I die.

Because he has to let his competitors take over him.

That’s not possible.

-Craaaagh!

Kati climbed on the sea dragon’s head and stabbed it straight with her dagger.

Beneath the scales, which were hard to step on, there were tough muscles.

There was no enemy that this sword could not cut except for the first warrior party during its heyday.

“Huh!”

Kati took a breath and plunged the sword deeper.

Thought.

What I learned from Galatea.

What was instructed by Marlion.

It wasn’t that difficult.

All you had to do was bring out your own instinctive impulses.

Destructive instinct.

Black mana is stored in the beastman’s body instead of mana in order to survive.

At first, it was difficult to follow Galatea’s instructions.

The source of black mana is a defense mechanism, and that defense mechanism comes from anxiety, fear, and hatred.

Maximizing those emotions was part of the training, and Kati trained her black mana using the most moderate method, ‘reading’.

It was a book containing the long history of persecution that prisoners had experienced.

However, Kati did not get angry easily.

Ian’s presence inside her was so big and strong, protecting her, that it was difficult to feel any negative emotions.

Then I realized the method.

Just think of the first warrior party.

And, there is that object down there.

Sylvia.

The woman who stole Ian’s love and trampled it.

-Poof! Food… !

The two swords went deep.

When they finally went in, Kati cut both sides with her sword.

The top of the sea dragon’s head was cut off.

Standing on the falling debris, Kati looked around the crowd.

There are some who fight, but most are watching this way.

Ears and tail pulled out on purpose.

they will see

Who killed the sea dragon?

Who helped Sylvia?

Who saved the people.

Mine.

No, whose side is the prisoner on?

Now it’s time for everyone to know.

*

“Mine… ?”

someone said

As if that was a signal, everyone muttered the same word.

“Mine?”

“It’s Mine.”

“That tail, ears, and even eyes… .”

Confusion spread like wildfire.

The enemy of mankind, Mine.

There are several reasons why the confusion did not turn into hostility towards Mine.

First, the demon suddenly appeared and cut down the sea dragon in one go.

Even though Sylvia pushed it, everyone knew that it was not an easy task.

That alone proves how strong that cat-eared demon is.

Second, she is Ian’s colleague.

After Ian revealed that he was Philip, more eyes were watching him.

Naturally, they also paid attention to the mysterious maid who was always by Ian’s side.

Its identity has now been revealed to the world.

‘That Ian took Mine with him?’

Why is this person favored by the Empire, the Holy Church, the Emperor, and the Holy Emperor?

In fact, that maid was someone who had been with the first warrior party since she was the manager.

It was enough to control the crowd’s unexpected behavior.

-thud!

The sea dragon fell.

The frozen sea trembled slightly.

Katy landed lightly on the ice and looked up at the warriors on the dock.

-Tap, knock.

With heavy steps, Ian stood in front of the crowd.

“Nice to meet you.”

He was at the center of the chaos.

“This might sound a bit arrogant, but I believe there is no one here who doesn’t know me. If you have, please raise your hand now. I’ll explain.”

No one raised their hand.

It was an easy task for Ian.

but.

“Where do you get your form?”

Not everyone agreed with the confusion.

One of the SS-class heroes.

Wizard Agni.

“No matter how good your paper is, it is a weak subject. Where do you say this is? Can’t you understand the situation now? It was revealed that you usually took Mine with you.”

He stepped in front of Ian and spoke in an argumentative tone.

From the beginning, he had a bad relationship with Ian.

Kati wanted to intervene, but held back with clenched teeth.

Now was not the time for him to step forward.

If she attacks a human here, Ian’s plan will come to naught.

In my mind, I had already cut off my limbs and knelt down in front of Ian.

It was frustrating, but now I had to trust someone else to step forward.

He’s not a person I want to trust, and his feelings are a bit twisted.

A person who doesn’t back down, at least when it comes to Ian.

“Get out before it burns down. No way, they are really trying to protect Mine… .”

“Shut up.”

A voice like forged ice intervened.

The owner of the voice heard from under the dock was Sylvia.

“Who do you think you are in front of right now?”

Sylvia hopped up onto the dock and blocked the space between Ian and Agni.

“Silvia you… .”

“If you say one more word, I will freeze you all the way down to your toes and then crush you into powder.”

Dark ice-like indigo eyes stared straight at Agni.

“I’ll sprinkle ice powder into the sea and send you on a trip around the world. It’s not that bad, right?”

Sylvia lifted her chin and glared at Agni, who was taller than her.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you remember the old days?”

“… … .”

In the past, Agni attacked Sylvia and was defeated.

It wasn’t even a fight.

It was no different from Sylvia’s one-sided magical violence.

Because of the trauma that occurred at that time, Agni was unable to handle water and ice type magic.

“On a weakened subject… .”

Agni’s fingertips were trembling as he resisted.

“Then try it. Yes, how useful is that lukewarm playing with fire? I don’t think I even made a scratch on the sea dragon, but I’m not sure.”

This time, Sylvia tilted her head crookedly and glared at Agni from the corner of her eye.

“Not confident? I even got hurt just now?”

Those eyes and the atmosphere that made me feel cold just by looking at them were infinitely calm.

So much so that he doesn’t look like someone prepared to fight a SS-class wizard.

That moment.

-bang!

With the sound of steel colliding, a gust of wind spread around Agni.

To be precise, his colleague next to Agni was the center.

The colleague raised his shield to block the sword, and the owner of the sword that attacked was Kylie.

“These fucking things… .”

Kylie spat out through gritted teeth.

He only struck down with one hand, but the body of the person blocking it trembled.

Even though the person who blocked it was a formidable S-class knight.

“Do you look like a lifeless person with no arms? Even if I turn upside down, I won’t lose to idiots like you. No, I can’t support it. Let’s give it a try.”

“Kylie… .”

Aria also hesitated and approached little by little to protect Ian.

“Stop.”

Ian stopped fighting.

“If you’re going to fight, let’s go somewhere else. Don’t do it in front of me. This is not a place for you to fight.”

“… … .”

Kylie stepped back cautiously, glaring at Agni and his companion.

Sylvia did not let down her guard until the end and glared at Agni.

Simulations of defense and attack were constantly running in my head.

What should I do to protect Ian and kill Agni at the same time?

“… Tsk.”

Agni eventually clicked his tongue and retreated.

Only then did Sylvia relax a little.

They were a little happy when they realized belatedly that Ian had said something to them first.

It didn’t really mean anything.

Ian just cleaned it up because he was annoyed.

“Kathi, come here.”

“Yes.”

Katy took Ian’s outstretched hand and walked up to the dock.

For a brief moment, Sylvia’s eyes passed over the tightly held hands and Katy’s face.

Kati didn’t look at Sylvia.

I just smiled brightly as I looked at Ian who had caught me.

Also, bad delusions and impulses were swirling in my head.

Kati climbed up and snuggled up next to Ian.

Ian wanted to tell him to stay away, but he couldn’t because of the atmosphere.

“As you can see, this woman named Kati is Mine.”

cat ears.

Cat eyes with vertical pupils.

A cat’s tail sticking out from under the skirt and fluttering.

The black energy shown when killing the sea dragon.

It was obvious.

“I would like to correct the information you know about ‘Mine’ here. First of all, the most important thing. Demons are not the enemies of humans.”

Noisy.

Reactions filled with doubt came from all over the place.

However, it was difficult to raise an objection carelessly.

Ian, who had absorbed Philip’s position, had a reputation just below that of an emperor or emperor.

Even now, he is under the protection of the 1st Hero Party.

No matter how weak they become, they are the only ones in the empire who are called by their own name.

Cat Mine was also a person with extraordinary skills.

In the end, Ian’s one-sided sermon had no choice but to continue.

*

Ian did not bother to mention the Seonghwagyo and the imperial family’s manipulation of history.

I didn’t want to shake up all of humanity for no reason.

Instead, he pretended that all of humanity had been deceived by one person, the ‘Devil King’.

That name was nothing short of a magic name.

The enemy of the unknown and fear was worthy of any crime.

Ian did not finish with words.

He brought the history of the demons, or more precisely the beasts, that he had researched and organized into a document.

To show it to others.

Of course, the truth about the manipulation of history was left out in that document.

While Ian was handing over documents, Katy was left alone.

In the meantime, Sylvia approached her cautiously.

“Kathi.”

“… … .”

Kati looked back at her with an expressionless face.

Sylvia tried hard not to frown.

I wasn’t talking to her because I liked her.

Even though I wonder if I deserve it.

I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

The sight of her standing next to Ian as if she were his lover wasn’t even an important issue.

Katy’s eyes changed.

I look at Ian with more sticky eyes than before.

I even felt a dark energy that I didn’t know what would happen if I left it alone.

Whether the person involved knows that or not.

and… .

‘… You’ve grown a lot.’

In the past, I think my height and body were similar to yours.

At that moment, Sylvia remembered something from before.

I told Kati that she was a demon and had to be killed, or something like that.

‘… But, it wasn’t Mine. No, the thing called Mine never existed in the first place… .’

Sylvia cautiously took a step closer to Kati.

“Oh, hello.”

“… … .”

Kati stared at Sylvia with sullen eyes.

There was a slight height difference, so Katy looked down.

“That… Uh, thanks for your help. Thanks to you, I survived.”

“… … .”

Kati didn’t answer.

I just turned my indifferent eyes and looked at Ian in the distance.

Sylvia glanced there too, then looked at Katy and said.

“You know what I told you before. Some mean words that I don’t want to hear. I’m sorry… To apologize. Sorry. It’s okay to say I didn’t know much at the time… .”

“That’s it.”

Kati spoke without looking at Sylvia.

“Because I don’t even remember.”

“Ah, that’s right… . I see, yes.”

Silvia, who was hesitant, asked again carefully.

“How is Ian? Are you in any pain or anything like that?”

Katy was still expressionless, looking into the distance with a slightly sullen expression.

There was no response to the point where I wondered if he was ignoring me.

When Sylvia was about to open her mouth again.

“You don’t know anything.”

Kati spoke in a pitchless voice.

“What should you do because you are worried about your master’s safety?”

Sylvia clenched her teeth.

I couldn’t refute it.

He knew it well.

still… .

Kati, who was looking at Sylvia who was depressed, shook her head.

Annoyance slowly appeared on Katy’s face.

“That’s not it.”

“What… ?”

“I’m not doing this simply because you betrayed your master.”

“What does it mean… ?”

Sylvia suddenly felt afraid.

I didn’t understand what Katy said.

I don’t know what Katy is going to say from now on.

But for some reason, I didn’t want to know.

An instinctive fear swept through her body, but she couldn’t stop Kati from speaking.

I don’t want to know, but I feel like I really need to know.

“The time when you were cruel to your master and justified the assault.”

Kati took a step toward Sylvia.

“After that, because I couldn’t even objectify how strong I was, I complained and hit my master.”

What kind of shape did Ian’s body become?

How Ian was sick all night.

Without exception, Kati tried to be as calm as possible.

“Every day it hit you, the master overdosed on the potion.”

Perhaps Sylvia would never know if Kati herself didn’t tell her.

There is no way Ian would tell Sylvia that at this point.

“It was natural for him to be bruised after being hit by you, and every bone in his body was broken and crushed. I couldn’t sleep well every night because of my potion addiction. Waking up and vomiting blood was not uncommon.”

However, I just couldn’t let this go without talking about it.

I didn’t want to keep the bitter memories of that day just for myself and Ian.

Kati said through clenched teeth.

The sight of Sylvia trembling delicately, as if she had no idea, was disgusting.

“Do you even know that?”

Sylvia’s complexion turned white.
