Agnes stood up after spotting Deltans coming out of the temple.

“came out… .”

I couldn’t speak.

This is why the Deltan’s expression was strange.

The frown seemed to be due to deepening worries rather than being in a bad mood.

Agnes could be sure that the tightly closed mouth was what a Deltan would show when there was something he didn’t like, and the index finger that was moving gently was something he did when he had to choose something.

Deltan, who walked out in a daze, arrived in front of Agnes.

“… Ah.”

Only then did the Deltans discover Agnes.

“What are you thinking like that?”

“… .”

Deltan looked at Agnes quietly.

Agnes did not avoid that gaze.

It was clearly related to the extraction of magic flowers.

Then, wouldn’t it make no sense for the person involved not to know what happened?

During the brief standoff, Deltan’s eyes scanned the surroundings.

“Let’s go somewhere quiet and talk.”

Is this a difficult story that others have heard?

Agnes nodded.

*

The place we arrived was a wide open space behind the temple.

There was no one following me and the wind was moderately cool, so it was a good place to sit and rest.

Agnes heard all the stories of the Deltans there.

Everything he said was embarrassing.

“… I don’t understand.”

Suddenly, he had new blood, and he and his mother were descendants of Lastoria.

That’s why Agnes came into being, and Agnes’ mind instantly became dizzy at the thought that her mother’s death was also due to Demon Flower.

The expression becomes frowning.

Meanwhile, Deltan held Agnes’ hand.

“I came here to awaken that blood.”

“What happens when you wake up?”

Deltan hesitated.

From that reaction, Agnes clearly realized that this was not an ordinary incident.

As a hesitant Deltan, there were only two cases where he was careful about what he said to others.

If it’s someone you really don’t want to talk to, or if it’s someone who notices you.

Now it’s clearly the latter.

Deltan was looking at me strangely.

This strangely created something like guilt in Agnes.

“… Delta Inn.”

Agnes held his hand tightly.

The tone softened a little.

Yes, how can all of this be said to be the fault of the Deltans?

Aren’t the Deltans just doing their best to extract magical fire?

“Sorry.”

Agnes apologized.

Deltan let out a long breath and said.

“I can’t tell you much right now.”

“There is a reason, right?”

“Uh. But trust me.”

Deltan raised his head.

His golden eyes were shining in Agnes’s favorite form.

It was a form that was full of life and desperately longing for something.

Agnes felt strangely relieved by the brightly shining sun-like eyes.

“I will definitely save you.”

Assertive words.

Agnes took a moment to choose her words, then smiled and answered.

There was a fact that came to mind again and again.

“I will believe it.”

What he means is that he is a man who never fails in what he sets out to do.

Especially when your eyes shine like that.

*

There was preparation.

All Agnes had been doing so far was watching Deltan as he busied himself by his side.

The Deltans drove out all the priests and hounds and finished the preparations alone, and only after they were completed did they summon one Cargo to the ceremony site.

“Wait at your seat and when I give the signal, sprinkle divine power into the space.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Cargo had a bewildered look on his face.

Agnes asked the Deltan.

“What should I do now?”

“Stand still and do a few of the things I tell you to do. Nothing will be difficult.”

“That’s it?”

“End. First, go to the altar.”

They said it was an instruction, but it seems too simple.

Thinking, Agnes looked around the ceremony hall.

A space where only a few torches hung on pillars dimly illuminate the surroundings.

The first thing that catches your eye are the walls and pillars that look like they were carved out of white rock.

There was a red carpet spread on the floor leading to the altar in the middle, and golden glasses were placed neatly on top of the altar.

Agnes headed to the altar.

“ came. Can I just stand here?”

“uh.”

The blue mana around the Deltans was so thick that it could be seen with the naked eye.

Although Agnes was ignorant of magic, she still had common sense.

The only time mana that wasn’t manifested through a spell is concentrated to that level is when a mana disaster occurs.

He was now gathering mana at a level that could cause disaster.

I’m starting to wonder what on earth he’s trying to do.

However, Agnes had no answer to that question.

“Start.”

This is why the Deltan who said this snapped his fingers.

Just-

A refreshing sound resonates.

At the same time, the tangible Mana began to vibrate, making a ‘kiiing’ sound.

It was ominous.

Agnes instinctively flinched at the sight that looked like it was about to explode.

At that moment, Deltan spoke.

“Cargo.”

“I understand!”

Kargo’s belly fluttered and he folded his hands.

“Almighty Lastoria!”

‘Whaaah!’ Golden waves covered the entire space.

Golden sacred power overlapped on top of the vibrating blue mana, and the mana began to take on an indigo color.

Deltan stirred the mana with his index finger as if commanding.

Then, the mana began to stick to the Deltan’s fingertips and condense.

Kiiing—!

The mana, compressed into a fist-sized ball, spins with a roar.

I even feel like my whole body will fall apart the day I put my hand to that place.

“Almost finished.”

Deltan stretched out his empty hands into the air.

Then a black pit appeared, and the staff Deltan used occasionally stuck out of it.

“Delta… .”

“Wait a minute.”

Deltan tapped the air with his staff.

From there, a ripple occurred.

A total of seven ripples from different locations reached the concentrated mana, and a translucent film was covered over the mana, which was discolored to navy blue.

“End.”

Only then did Deltan insert the staff.

Cargo panted and gathered his divine power.

“What did you do?”

“That’s how we gather all the energy that Lastoria has sown on this land.”

At the tip of the Delta man’s index finger was a dark blue sphere that was now the size of millet.

“Mana, divine power, and… .”

Deltan looked directly at Agnes.

“Spirit.”

Agnes’ eyes widened.

Deltan said.

“Horn Lake, call it out.”

Ah, now that I think about it, there was a kid like that.

Since I had no reason to call it out, I even forgot about its existence.

Agnes immediately nodded and muttered.

“Horn Lake.”

At that moment, a snowstorm swept through the space.

*

Horn Lake, the spirit of the lake, was deeply troubled.

There was no other reason. Since his last time accompanying the Deltans in the desert, he has not been called once.

Since Agnes had unilaterally cut off the connection, she was filled with anxiety as she had no idea what was happening on this side.

What I was thinking about was what happened in the desert.

-master!

As a supreme and gentle spirit, he forgot his duties and served two masters.

I felt love for these two people, and I also bowed my head to them.

Even if it was only one body.

It was an outright affair.

but… .

‘What should I do when I feel so good!’

Agnes Levadeine’s body is a walking drug.

Whoever is inside it, puts on Agnes’ body and gives orders, and all it wants to do is obey.

To sum it up in one word, it was like that.

‘The one who seduced me was at fault!’

To put it vulgarly, it could also be said, ‘You made me look bad!’

It was a state of mind in which there was not even a trace of conscience.

Of course, Hornlake knew it was wrong.

I also thought that the reason Agnes cut off contact with him was because he cheated on me.

I had regrets.

I should have focused a little more on protecting my integrity.

Don’t be tempted by just one body and turn a blind eye.

The next thing that came to mind was the desire to apologize.

Hornlake was willing to lick the soles of Agnes’ feet and confess his sins if she wanted.

But as expected, he remains silent with Agnes.

I’ve been suffering from depression for months now, wondering if it’s already too late.

‘at las!’

Agnes called.

Hornrake rushed to the spot where Agnes was, and immediately crawled on all fours to see Agnes in front of him after taking shape in the snowstorm.

[Owner niiim!!!]

Clap!

I went in front of Agnes and put my forehead on the floor.

A snowball jumped up.

[sorry! I will never cheat again! I will only look at you and love you only! So give me one more chance! If you accept even this defiled body, I will absolutely obey you!!!]

The words I had chosen over the last hour poured out like a waterfall.

But there is no answer back.

Hornlake trembled with anxiety and slowly raised his head.

“Deltain, what should we do now?”

Agnes didn’t even care about her.

thud! Hornrake felt his heart drop.

Of course, there is no such thing as a heart.

[Lord, master?]

“Hey.”

Deltan called Horn Lake.

Hornrake was shocked and turned his head.

The place where I turned my head.

The damn communist was looking at Horn Lake with a sour face.

“You come here.”

What, what kind of situation is this?

Where is this again?

Belatedly, I began to understand my surroundings.

“Come.”

Deltan urged, but in the meantime, Hornrake clung to Agnes even more.

‘I’m in trouble!’

It’s a three-way face-to-face situation with both the affair partner and the government in front of you!

There would be nothing more troublesome than this for the rest of Hornrake’s life.

Maybe that’s all, but now my affair partner is beckoning me to abandon my mistress and come to me.

Hornlake instinctively felt that now was the time to prove his fidelity.

What followed was a yell.

[Woah, what an outrageous thing to say! Gaaaamhiyi… !]

“Come back.”

[yes!]

There is nothing we can do with the government’s permission.

Horn Lake immediately headed towards the Deltans.

Meanwhile, self-justification was going on in my head.

‘Where is the spirit’s chastity? ‘I don’t have any genitals!’

The spirit is a mental body.

Since it has no body or genitals, it does not fit the concept of purity itself.

So it would be okay if it were like this.

[Why did you call me?]

Hornlake haughtily straightened his back and narrowed his eyes as he spoke to Deltan.

Deltan had a depressed expression.

To the extent that Horn Lake was startled.

“Hey.”

His voice was low.

It was so close to a whisper that I thought I wouldn’t be able to hear his voice at all if the distance increased even a little.

‘Mi, push it!’

Ah, the life of a sinful spirit!

Hornlake was lost in foolish thoughts again.

“From now on, listen carefully to what I say.”

Deltan continued speaking in a whisper and with a very serious expression.

Hornlake’s body stiffened.

Her entire attention began to focus on the sound of his lips.

“… So, you.”

The moment Deltan finally finished speaking.

“Mistakes cannot be tolerated.”

Hornlake felt his heart sink.

Of course, she was a species that did not have organs such as a heart.
