episode_0168

In fact, a few hours before arriving here.

I had a serious discussion with Belze, explaining what had happened so far and my future plans.

Belze… In other words, it is to draw out the mysterious entity that is targeting me by using her as the {mark} of {Piece of Gluttony}.

Of course, I had no choice but to say these words carefully.

Nevertheless, Belze willingly accepted, saying that he had to use himself in such a situation to find the mysterious entity.

It must have been a difficult decision…

Contrary to Belze’s feelings that it was natural to act like nothing had happened…

It is true that having to use her makes me feel very cautious and bitter.

Because this uncomfortable feeling is proof of that.

My guess so far is…

I realized that the only means of directly connecting with that mysterious being was Belze, who was designated as {Mark} of {Gluttony Family}.

First of all, you need to meet the person you are suspicious of and the person whose suspicion is almost certain.

＇Teacher Jeright..＇

In some ways, my former tutor ‘Tren B. Gerait’ could be the culprit of everything that happened up until now.

Then, {Piece of Sloth} who claims to have stolen the soul of Sein, my one and only lover, and become one with her… Ver.

After sifting through the numerous information and circumstances discovered so far, it was clear that those two were the most likely suspects.

Crackling..

Naturally, strength goes into your hands.

Slippery?

Was he agitated by his growing emotions?

“after…”

I borrow the power of the [Black Button] to calmly control my disturbed feelings once again.

Even though I feel angry at this terrible thought of doubting the people I have trusted, I feel the need to face each other again in order to move forward.

It’s definitely something that has to be done.

no..

I was determined that I would do it.

{Piece of Greed}.. To rescue my mother who was captured by Martina, and to uncover the truth of all these satanic events that have occurred so far.

No matter how much the target was a lover, it took a strong heart to throw it away.

＇Help me… it’s a button.’

I carefully stroke the [black button] that makes me calmer.

Sigh..

‘It’s already starting to get dark…’

“I’ve done everything I needed to do today, so let’s go.”

There were many things to pack for Belje, who usually does not wear shoes.

School uniforms and training uniforms prepared by {Royal Academy}.

And the extra clothes and underwear she will be wearing from now on…

Looking at the setting orange sun, I head to the dormitory with Belze, who has packed a lot of luggage.

‘Still, I’m glad I was transferred without any problems.’

Should I say I’m glad…

The principal, who highly evaluated Belze’s abilities, not only assigned him to the same grade as me, but also gave him the consideration of assigning him a room next to mine in the future dormitory.

With a request to take good care of her.

I was just grateful for the principal’s consideration, so I put my belongings away in her room so that I could use them well.

＂Belje.. this is your room.＂

“Be sure to brush your teeth and shower before going to sleep.”

“You have to change your underwear every day.”

I look at Belze with suspicion.

“It’s right next door, so if anything happens…”

Just as I was about to leave.

Hot…

As soon as I finished saying that, Belze suddenly grabbed my sleeve.

I turn around and look into Belze’s faint eyes.

＂……＂

As her expression tells you, she looks sad and doesn’t want to be separated from me.

It’s a situation where you can’t ignore the floppy ears and tail.

＇Is it too much to fall right away?

In a way, it is clear that I am the only person Belze can rely on.

Moreover, it may have been difficult for her to accept that she suddenly had to live alone in such an unfamiliar environment.

“okay..”

“But is it only today?”

Belze must have understood what I was saying, but he just nodded and carefully followed me without letting go of the sleeve he was holding.

I catch a glimpse of her strangely swaying tail.

‘I thought you were nervous…’

Tread.. plod..

After walking a little further, I was about to reach my room in the far corner.

Upright?? Sniff…

Ride!!

Belze seemed to suddenly speed up, but the hairs on his entire body stood up and he became very alert.

＂Krrr…＂

I decided that this kind of reaction from Belze could never be a good sign.

I immediately perceive the magical energy flowing from my room through my {monomantic sense}.

A haze of dark blue magic visible through the gap in the door.

Excited.. Excited..

＂That’s the smell I smelled there..＂

In response to Belze’s words, I also increase {Smell} among {Sixth Sense} values by +50%.

Sniff…

Then I felt a familiar yet unpleasant metal smell.

That smell… was the smell I smelled at the {Banesheer} family’s mansion I visited a while ago.

Although it was very slight, the fishy taste of that terrible bronze bowl was vaguely visible.

Excited.. Excited..

Rapidly rising heart rate.

A smell that should never come out is coming from there now.

I thought that the guesses I had made up to this point might have been a misunderstanding caused by a small misunderstanding.

But now.

That doubt came to me as a moment of certainty.

‘Berga… I know all the facts.’

A sense of complexity that made me feel like I was losing my mind instantly shook my head. It’s pressed down.

Even though I know that normal judgment is difficult, I walk forward little by little, driven by the urge to find out.

Tread.. plod..

Slippery!!

Did you feel this sudden change of heart?

The [black button] attached to my left hand in the form of a glove seemed to be trying to heal my mind using its own abilities.

It didn’t seem easy to heal my mind, which was feeling more and more angry due to the betrayal of someone I trusted.

Tread.. plod..

I thought about it.

Now, in this situation… rather than making a rational decision.

I thought that an emotional judgment would be necessary.

I judged that there was no need to encounter Belze, the {mark} of {Piece of Gluttony}, and {Piece of Sloth}.

＂Belje… go outside for a moment.＂

Dahyun’s heavy yet cold voice like thin ice…

Sensing Dahein’s anger, which never appears rational, Belze quietly lowers his highly wary tail and retreats.

Hot…

Following the trail of smell, I slowly open the door and look around.

The first thing that greeted me when I returned to the room after several months was the brilliant light of [polycarbo ore] filled with blue moonlight.

Sniff…

I turn my head in the direction of this fishy bronze smell and slowly approach where my bed is.

Tread.. plod..

How heavy each step felt, this brief moment felt like hell.

If the soul of the lover I loved… really resided in the soul of {Piece of Sloth}, I would not have hidden this fact.

What that means is…

The souls of the world no longer exist in this world.

{Piece of Sloth}.. In other words, it was no different from Ver deceiving me with her memories.

Ssss..

So I approach the bed and carefully lift the blanket.

Fine… Fine…

Sure enough… Ber and Sein were deeply asleep, hugging each other.

My heart aches like crazy when I see that.

I follow this smell and look at the traces in the form of dark fingerprints on Ber’s sleeve.

‘This..’

It is certainly.

{Winter Festival} It is the same smell as the traces of magic stones left behind by the demons at the time.

The source of this fishy metal smell was clear.

Then, following his gaze, he checks the ring on the ring finger of Ber’s left hand.

‘ring.?’

That ring was the [Elaborate Flame Ring] that I gave to Sein as a gift when I confessed to him.

It’s something that should never be in Ver’s hands.

No matter how much we share the same body and mind…

What if… what if… Sein’s soul really remained…

It had to be in the body of Sein, her alter ego.

Now it doesn’t matter what happens.

I wanted to immediately kill the {piece of sloth} that had played with my earnest emotions and deceived me so much.

‘Button.. can you help me?’

Slippery!!

But you have to be patient.

Since I still have a lot to ask about the mysterious entity, I try to keep my composure, even if it means borrowing the power of [Black Button].

“Ummmm..”

Perhaps sensing the cluttered surroundings, {Slot Sculpture}, which took on the appearance of a saint, began to examine the situation while rubbing its eyes.

＂Dahuinnim? Uh, when did you come?”

A bright silver bob.

The more sparkling golden gaze makes my barely calmed heart start to fluctuate like crazy.

＂Ji, what kind of situation is this now..＂

“Ber said he really wanted to sleep here.. I tried to stop him anyway.”

The way he is flustered and flustered… he really looks like a worldly person.

Strong.. Strong..

no..

That’s just a puppet show.

The person in front of me is not the person I knew.

Is it because the influence of [Black Button] was too great?

If not, is it because I have completely accepted that he is no longer my lover?

I couldn’t make any facial expression and just… coldly stared at Sein.

＂Dahui??＂

Sein also saw Dahyun’s cold expression like this for the first time.

Hidden in that expressionless expression… the desperate feeling of losing everything in the world.

The gaze of anger flowing through them is so clear that it seems as if it will explode at the slightest touch.

“Are you angry because I snuck into your room?”

“What is Asia’s condition?”

Sein just steps back to avoid this situation.

Toouk..

The wall behind her stops her from retreating any further.

I could somehow understand what she was so afraid of.

Sigh..

I approach Sein more gently and hug him gently.

＂Da, Da-hein.?＂

Se-in was taken aback by Da-heein’s sudden hug, but perhaps his nervousness eased… Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief…

Phew!!

＂Gagging..＂

Something sharp pierced Sein’s abdomen and began to slowly tighten his entire body.
