Jiying-

“…?!”

Chiron, who said he would show the evidence, suddenly developed magical powers.

The eerie, pitch-black magic of hell was always unpleasant.

… But how do you use magical power?

“No, can you use magic?”

“Of course I can use it. I have regained all my strength now.”

I was surprised and spoke to Chiron.

The magic control sphere was still operating, but Chiron extracted magic power as if nothing had happened.

“… Then why aren’t you escaping and are you doing this?”

“The Killer Queen of Hell would come to visit me, so I thought I was dead anyway. But it wasn’t the Killer Queen that came, but a strange succubus.”

“How strange! When it comes to strange things, you are the best?!”

“That’s right. The one with four legs is the strangest one.”

I agreed with Liliana’s words.

But Chiron answered our words without even blinking.

“He probably lost his memory, but that’s roughly expected. It was strange that the Killer Queen disappeared overnight.”

“…Chiron. Make a lot of noise and give me some evidence.”

I have no idea whether it’s Killer Queen or Death Empress.

Of course it’s cool, but I don’t want to hear it out loud.

“First, let me tell you who I am.”

Plap-pap-pap-jik-

Black magic swirled around Chiron.

And, the energy coming out of his body changed.

Should I call it aura?

There was a unique feeling of being overwhelmed that I felt from Lim Sol and Isaac.

“This is Chiron, the fourth son of the Demon King and the fourth in line to succeed the Demon King. In some ways, he can be seen as the younger brother of that succubus. Since our father’s blood is the same.”

“… You are also the son of the Demon King?”

“That’s right. Although I quickly felt the wall and fled to the mercenary world.”

“There is no such thing as a younger sibling in our family….”

What on earth is going on?

I roughly expected that Liliana had a problem, but she is the daughter of the Demon King.

Moreover, this strange bastard is also said to be the son of the devil… .

“…Do you have any tinnitus in English?”

“It’s not like I can tell this to a human… but if you’re really curious, I’ll tell you.”

“I’m not curious, so give me the evidence first.”

“Hmm, little brother. Little brother….”

Just by looking at it, it looks like he wants me to ask him, but he never will.

Liliana was muttering to herself about her brother, then suddenly screamed.

“No! Now that I think about it, I’ve never heard of a younger sibling in my life! In hell, civil servants give scholarships to those who have multiple children!”

“…Didn’t you just say that your mother runs a goblin noodle restaurant?”

“Is that so…? Then maybe he retired and ran a noodle restaurant?”

Now that I think about it, I was definitely called a civil servant from hell last time.

You said that all civil servants in hell are trash.

Moreover, since this happened after Liliana was summoned to the human world, there is no way Liliana wouldn’t remember him if he quit his job as a civil servant and opened a noodle restaurant.

There’s something strange about this.

“Look at this.”

Wow. Crunch-.

As I was trying to talk more to Liliana, Chiron pulled something out of his chest.

A magic bead of condensed jet-black color.

Although it was a bead similar in size to my fist, the amount of magical power contained within it was enormous.

“… What’s this.”

I held the marble in my hand and checked the information.

——————

[Chiron’s Memory Bead]

▶ Upper level

▶ A bead created by Chiron, the son of the Demon King, containing his memories. It was not a manipulated image, but rather his own memories.

▶ When used, you can glimpse part of Chiron’s memories.

────────────

“Memory beads?”

“Yes. It contains my memories, so please check with the succubus yourself.”

“Aren’t you going to terrorize our minds by storing strange memories here?!”

“The Demon King’s heir does not do such dirty things. Just don’t check here and check later. I don’t want you to be disgusting in the space where I will be staying.”

“….”

Just hearing the explanation makes me a little scared.

What on earth is in it?

“When you’re done with your business, go back and come back when you’ve made up your mind.”

“…what are you going to do?”

Such a strong magic control tool was useless.

Of course, I would have escaped if I had time, but this is not a problem with the magic power control tool.

The talent for magical power given to me was the best in the world.

So it’s natural that this world’s technology can’t catch me.

If Rebecca or Isaac were trapped in this control hole, they probably wouldn’t have been able to escape.

I can’t be sure because Professor Lim Sol is such a monster.

However, the fact that they escaped so easily probably means that the people of the Iris Guild did not properly understand the magic power of hell.

Maybe it was my fault for not telling you.

“I’ll wait here. Anyway, without the help of that red-haired woman, going back will only lead to brainwashing, so I’ll rest for a while.”

“Ha, okay. Do whatever you want.”

I’m a little anxious about leaving Chiron behind, but if I wanted to escape, I would have done it a long time ago.

Even if I wonder if it was a strategy to separate the relationship between me and Liliana, it is unlikely that it was because there is no way he knew Liliana’s identity.

“I know I’ll be scolded if I don’t have proof!”

“Just checking. Even if you don’t remember, that maverick personality hasn’t changed.”

“… Let’s go back first, Liliana.”

Although I truly believed in Liliana, I felt something uneasy in my heart.

Judging by my status window, there was no chance that Chiron’s memory orb was fake.

If that’s the case, then you’re confident… .

I don’t know. You’ll know once you check it.

“… Don’t leave the house, stay well, Chiron.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve never felt this comfortable since coming to the human world.”

After warning Chiron, I took Liliana, who had turned into a necklace, and escaped out of the prison cell.

Perhaps because I had a VIP card, there was no body search or anything like that when I came out.

– You’re not suspicious of me, are you? I don’t have a younger brother… !

“It’s not like that.”

I don’t want to doubt Liliana.

However, it is also true that Liliana has had problems with her memory since long ago.

If you even forgot what you said a while ago, you could say that you barely remember the past.

‘I guess I’ll have to look at the memory beads and think about it.’

It all depends on what happens after that.

I need to find out Liliana’s identity or something.

“Are you here?”

“Scarlett? Are you okay?”

“Scout! You can move!”

I saw Scarlett greeting us at the dorm as if nothing had happened.

“Yes. Thanks to your concern, I got better. I think it’s probably thanks to Hoyeon’s massage.”

“I’m really… glad.”

How guilty would you feel if you were left with an acquired disability?

No, guilt isn’t the problem.

Maybe Scarlett and I couldn’t go back to our original relationship.

Liliana said, shaking Scarlett’s hand up and down.

“Scout! That’s a good thing. Please protect us for a moment.”

“… yes?”

“I need to take a quick look at something. Just stand next to me.”

I took out the memory bead I received from Chiron.

Looking at the memory orb that was still emitting unpleasant magical power, Scarlett also frowned slightly.

“I have an unpleasant feeling. What is this?”

“It’s a memory bead I received from Chiron. They say it contains information about Liliana.”

“…Chiron?”

“Oh, the centaur’s name is Chiron.”

“What on earth did you do in such a short period of time that you even made a name for yourself with a monster?”

“I’m rather friendly. I feel sorry for asking the patient, but if anyone comes to visit, just tell me.”

“… All right.”

I felt magical as I saw Scarlett nodding.

The magic orb that responded to my magic began to glow little by little.

“Liliana. Put your hand up too. Let’s watch it together.”

“Ah, yes! I need to see with my own eyes what kind of fraud this guy is up to.”

“Okay, okay.”

“Have a nice trip.”

I accepted the darkness covering my body, hoping it wasn’t something strange.

*

Slurp- Srurr-

I opened my eyes and looked around.

As soon as I felt that my body and mind were free from my interference, as if I was dozing off for a moment, the world began to turn around.

“…Where am I?”

I muttered to myself in surprise at seeing this for the first time, but at the same time, I realized how awkward I felt.

This wasn’t the real world.

Some of Chiron’s memories.

I couldn’t intervene and had to watch the situation unfold like in a movie.

‘Is Liliana not there?’

I thought he was with me, but maybe he was seeing the same scene somewhere else.

As I looked around, a world I had never seen before unfolded.

Even though the sun was up in the sky, it was not bright, and the entire space was filled with darkness.

I once played a game with a dark fantasy setting without dreams or hope, and it was similar to the feelings I felt then.

Of course, I felt much worse now that I was actually seeing it.

Jeopuk- Jeopuk-

A centaur appeared in front of me.

Is this what Chiron looked like when he was young?

Their bodies were similar in size, but their faces had a slightly youthful look.

Armor that looks sturdy and is luxuriously decorated.

Chiron, fully armed as if ready for war, was walking forward, and I followed behind him.

“… Damn. Are they really all dead?”

Kang-

Chiron struck the skeleton on the floor with his large sword.

Since the setting is hell, it’s probably not a human bone, and it’s probably the bones of a humanoid monster.

When I looked closely, I saw that there were bones scattered all over the surrounding ground.

I felt pretty dirty when I realized that what I thought was a hill was actually something made of bone and flesh.

Chiron continued walking forward as if he wasn’t scared.

It’s probably because they come from hell and are accustomed to war.

As we got closer to our destination, the pile of bones increased and the smell of rotting corpses wafted out.

“We have to stop it somehow, somehow….”

Chiron climbed over a hill with a voice full of determination, and at the same time, an eerie sound began to be heard.

Clatter-clatter-clatter-

Bones and corpses creaking and moving.

It wasn’t just humanoid bones.

There were also bones of beasts, bones of giant monsters, and bones of centaurs like Chiron.

They were supporting one chair as if they were moving a palanquin.

The feeling of resentment, unable to rest even after death, filled the surroundings, and an ominous magical energy rose in the air.

And on a chair supported by bones, a woman was sitting with her legs crossed.

When Chiron saw the woman, he shouted angrily and unleashed his magic power.

“Killer Queen…!”

“Hmm, what is your name? All horse people look alike, so I don’t know who is who.”

“The 4th in line to succeed the Demon King, Wild Gladiator. I am Chiron.”

“Ah… I can’t hear you clearly? I’m sorry.”

“…I wonder how long you can keep that mouth fun.…Killer Queen.”

“I don’t like that name. There’s a pretty name called Liliana Calliope. If you call me Liliana right now, I’ll save you.”

“Shut up! Killer Queen!”

Chiron raised his magic power to his great sword and took a fighting stance, while the woman sitting on the chair yawned and waved her hands as if she were bored.

I thought to myself as I watched the magic power freely move from my fingertips.

‘It’s only Chiron that adds English at the end.’

Fortunately, not all of Hell was a bunch of weirdos.

Relieved, I took a closer look at the woman Chiron called the Killer Queen.

“That….”

It definitely looked different from the Liliana I knew.

Overall, he had a youthful body, as if he were young, and his ears were pointed like those of a demon.

The ominous devil’s horns rose from its head.

Unlike now, where the merchant smiles brightly throughout, he keeps his mouth shut and shows no emotion.

But, I could feel it.

Distinctive purple eyes and tail.

Even the lines of the body and every single finger joint.

Liliana remained vivid in my memory.

Because my relationship with her was that deep.

That’s why I was confident.

“…Liliana?”

That woman was Liliana.
