As I leave the temple, the bright sunlight tickles my eyes.

“I didn’t know it was true after hearing it, but they say she teaches anatomy to immortals.”

“···Yes? Why teach anatomy?”

“Of course. Wouldn’t you like to transform if you know the structure?”

What should I say?

okay. Isabel’s face became unfamiliar.

“···Do I need to learn it?”

“Of course I have to learn.”

“Stop.”

When I tried to cross the moat, the gatekeeper elf blocked my path.

Can’t we go into Ymir’s tomb yet?

I thought Shir had given me a tip.

“Send it to me.”

“Yes?”

The gaze of the gatekeeper, who appeared to be a gunman, turned to me.

“Please pass by.”

The eyes of the elf blocking my path turn to the elf who allowed entry.

“There was no such order in particular?”

“···He is an acquaintance of Mr. Douglas.”

…I’m not an acquaintance.

Only then did the elf who had been blocking my path step aside like a crab and clear the way.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m on my way to confirm what I asked Julias to do.”

“We will guide you.”

The gatekeeper takes the lead and walks the moat.

I quietly followed behind her and walked slowly, following Isabelle’s slow pace.

The gatekeeper seemed quite dissatisfied with that, but what could he do?

He was just staring at me from afar.

“Isn’t it really mysterious?”

Isabelle, who was looking up at the tree, glanced at me.

“Yes.”

“This tree is Diana’s totem. It is also a grave tree that grows when an elf dies.”

“···It’s very cool. Habs──”

“Keuhm.”

Clearing his throat, he realizes his mistake and opens his eyes wide.

If I had said the same thing, the worst thing could have happened.

“To the east, there is a root mushroom that is a servant’s totem that is nowhere to be found. Plants that grow parasitic on mushrooms without receiving sunlight are colored in wise shades like autumn leaves.”

“···What kind of light are autumn leaves?”

What kind of light are autumn leaves like?

Although there is no autumn in Habstenburg…

“Can you just explain?”

The look in his eyes seemed to show that he didn’t even know that.

I was heartbroken at being treated like a fool.

“It’s a beautiful place. You have no idea how colorful the mushrooms are, as colorful as flowers, and how delicious they are when dug out of a wall.”

By the time we reached the basement, the doorman had already passed us and gone back.

Instead, an elf immortal stood in front of us. He looks me up and down.

“A human asked Yulias something to do?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t believe it.”

“It’s okay. Please put your message inside.”

“Why should I listen to humans?”

This elf seemed very dissatisfied with me.

I don’t particularly remember owing anything to this elf… I wouldn’t know if I were alone, but now I have Isabelle. Since I have to hide my identity, I don’t want to get into an argument.

“Please.”

“I don’t like it.”

I thought he was being really harsh.

So I looked and it seemed like he was interested in Isabelle.

‘You’re going to make this guy immortal and use it?’

Soldiers are bullets.

Unless you put it in a gun, load it, and fire it, it has to be safe.

But, the bomb called Immortal is unstable?

“Okay. What is the name of the person talking to me now?”

“Nothing to know.”

“Are the people who work for money hiding their identities?”

“You’re not giving it to me, right?”

“Is that really so?”

The guy is staring at me.

Eventually, the guy’s mouth opened.

“···Are you trying to steal my dagger?”

What I heard was ridiculous.

He was going to fuck me. That feels like an emotion.

“Puhahaha!!!”

I clapped and laughed.

Isabelle and the guy looked at me with embarrassed smiles, but Anne looked at me as if she was afraid.

Because I have never laughed like this before.

“What’s funny?”

“No… how did you know?”

“What?”

I pulled out the dagger hidden in the chest of the dazed elf.

Soon, like the arm that was trying to stop him, he stabbed him in the lung and impaled it, and at the same time, he stuck it in the wall.

Sigh! Sigh!

“Ugh…! Cough!”

The guy with a hole in his lung couldn’t scream.

“I hate Immortal. I really, really hate it.”

How much more so, that the bug that stole Shir’s blood commits racism?

“I think that all insects that steal Shir’s blood should be killed by cutting off their heads.”

bang!

I kicked open the basement door.

I twisted the handle of the sword to make it look like a hook, held him in my arms, and dragged him down toward the basement.

It’s okay here.

Anyway, if there comes a time when I need to gain cooperation, I also need to suppress the other person so that they can never underestimate me.

When Dantalian’s energy was released, the daily shouting coming from inside instantly subsided.

“Hiik?!” “······!”

Anne and Isabelle’s expressions turned pale.

“I can’t let someone like you work under Shir.”

“What’s going on?!”

The guard comes running.

I ignored it and moved on. The guard was unable to chase after Dantalian because he was overwhelmed by his energy. The gatekeepers of the inner gate who had already opened their faces recognized me, but their eyes were hard.

“You cannot enter inside with weapons.”

“It’s not mine.”

They both look at me with nervous eyes filled with ambiguous emotions.

“The guy who took Shir’s blood committed racial discrimination and neglect of work and tried to frame me. This is simply self-defense.”

The two basilisks look at me curiously and glance at the impaled bastard.

Soon the two showed a look of resignation.

“···I will put a message inside.”

As a sturdy basilisk entered the room, my head began to cool down a little.

“Sorry! There was some misunderstanding…”

misunderstanding?

My lungs were torn apart.

“Wow! Hehehehe!”

“···Dwin?! Why are you doing this all of a sudden─?!”

An unfamiliar, trembling voice.

···My eyes opened slightly wider than usual. He looks quite surprised. My head started to feel cold from those eyes. Did he think of me as a good person?

“As you probably know, I am a slayer by nature.”

“···Yes?”

This person is a victim and doesn’t seem to understand that I am a murderer.

I kicked the skewered Immortal.

“···Wow!”

“I have no regard for anyone who violates mutual trust.”

The same goes for you too.

With that meaning in mind, I looked at Isabel dryly.

Good profit───

“He tells me to come in.”

“···What on earth is the problem?”

The sound of Too’s questioning voice makes my head feel cold.

I thought my meaning would be conveyed, but it seems that was not the case at all.

Julias was frowning.

The Lamia have disappeared everywhere, and quite a number of Immortals are staring at me, wondering where they came from.

It is clear that they gathered here to protect Julia because of the power I unleashed.

“Master, what on earth are you doing?”

“Just wondering what happened to the request I made before.”

“It’s a power suppressor commonly used in temples. This is a high quality product with no side effects.”

“···Actually. Shir told me not to come down alone.”

When he pointed at Isabelle with his chin, Julias snorted.

“This guy was sexually excited by my group. Then he tried to frame me, saying he tried to steal his dagger. So I really took it away from you.”

Julias’ green eyes rolled towards the gatekeeper.

“Take out that bastard’s dick and limbs and send him back to his hometown.”

Two gatekeepers approach.

Soon he started using all four arms, strangling the guy with one hand and pulling out both arms.

A silent scream is heard.

okay.

Let that guy be such an asshole.

“There is someone I would like to introduce.”

“Who is it?”

“A person just like me whose life got messed up because of a servant. He is also the person who will help me in the future.”

“···My name is Isabel Laphobia.”

He even bows and says hello.

Isabelle, who had seemed frightened just a moment ago, was overwhelmed and entranced by Julias’ transcendental appearance.

‘A Lamia wearing scales made of gold.’

You couldn’t have imagined it.

Thanks to this, the walls of this crypt were shining, reflecting Julia’s scales.

“Now, you guys, stop making a fuss and go back. Guests, please come here.”

The immortals look at me and disperse in disarray.

Julia curled up like usual and sat comfortably.

“I heard you received a marriage proposal from a root snake?”

“I’m not interested in snakes like that. The owner wouldn’t know.”

Isabelle and Anne frowned as if they were receiving an electric shock every time the word ‘master’ came out of Julias’ mouth.

‘I’m the type of person who doesn’t understand.’

Pap-duk! Ttuduk!

The guy who turned me into a psychopath has already lost both his arms.

Soon, both legs were being torn apart like animals falling victim to the children’s pure cruelty.

Even though it is a part that seems like it will never be torn, it eventually gets pulled out.

Pop! Puddeuddeuk! Tdu-tuk!

Now it’s balls and cocks turn.

Isabel’s gaze follows mine…

“Don’t look behind you.”

The green eyes that met my eyes slowly turned to Julias.

‘okay. ‘Good boy.’

“Hee Iik───?!”

Anne seems to be a bad child.

“So, why are you trying to introduce me to that girl?”

“I wanted you to know who taught you about immortality and what immortality is.”

Julias’ eyes narrow.

“Really?”

“···Actually, I took him out to get some air because he looked stuffy, but there was no place to go.”

As I smiled awkwardly, Julia sighed deeply.

The gaze leisurely moves towards Isabel.

“My name is Julias. He is the teacher of the White Wolf and the leader of the beasts representing Lamia. Well… do you have any questions for me?”

Isabel’s gaze glances towards me, then she avoids my gaze and turns her gaze to Julias.

“···What kind of person is Dewin?”

“Dwin?”

Julia glances at me and smiles.

“Ah, the master is a serial killer.”

“···Are you a serial killer?”

“Yes. They were also called hunting dogs because they killed anything their master told them to do without any supervision. If it were me, I would have poisoned that owner.”

Julia smiles, lies down on her side and looks at me.

I’m not particularly angry at people criticizing Juul, who is my friend, but it’s surprising that the evaluation is so harsh.

‘I’m serious there.’

Wasn’t Julias a close friend of Jules?

“But why are you suddenly curious about that?”

Isabel avoided looking at Julias’ bored gaze and looked down.

“···Dwin has too many secrets. I told everything, but Dewin doesn’t seem to like it.”

It was as if the voice was giving instructions.

In fact, Isabelle glanced at me as she spoke.

“I’m not a bad person. Hmm…”

Isabel’s eyes turned to Julias, who was slowly drooling.

Julias’ gaze, who had been pretentiously rolling his eyes, soon turned to Isabelle.

“Do you believe in ghosts?”

“Yes?”

“I believe it. Let me tell you the story of how I came to believe in ghosts.”

The story Julias told was about Sorshei.

A somewhat incomprehensible story about representing a dead person who would have absolutely no benefit even if the living revealed it.

“I started believing in ghosts after that. Besides, there’s Dantalian’s representative who died and came back to life in front of me right now, right?”

Isabelle and Anne looked at me subtly.

“Think about it. Vision… Dwyn has no choice but to despise Immortals.”

“···Yes.”

“In addition, we supplied a panacea for Drekkar, which was in ruins. How many millions of people survived? Don’t you know that much? Master is neither on our side nor on Drekkar’s side.”

“Are you saying that you are a servant’s servant?”

“No. The master is just a wanderer. I am a traveler and a ‘people’ side.”

Julias smiles.

“So, don’t criticize that poor kid. They say the direction changed thanks to a bad owner, but that kid is stupidly upright.”

Next, Julias and Isabel’s careful yet leisurely chat began.

Thankfully, it was thanks to Julias gently leading the conversation.

“I saw that book too! The wizard who appeared there is me!”

“Yes?!”

“That evil witch Edeline wasn’t with us from the beginning.”

“Me and the saint, the white wolf of the time, Dantalian’s agent, and the ranger buried in the grass were together.”

A ranger buried in the wilderness.

Dennis has something to learn and something to pay back.

There are things I need to apologize for.

“Now that I think about it, what happened to Dennis?”

“After finishing my promise with you, he suddenly disappeared.”

“Why?”

“Of course, right? There’s a hundred-year knight by Shir’s side.”

I see

The reason Dennis treats Jules with contempt is because he owes Jules’ ancestors a debt.

There was no way that Lexie and Dennis, who were centennial knights, could get along comfortably.

“Didn’t you say where you were going?”

“I didn’t hear it.”

“It’s a shame. It would have been nice if I could at least say hello.”

But we will meet someday.

I had that feeling.

Anne hummed and rolled her legs on my lap.

I leaned my weight on the chair while holding Anne’s stomach.

“But why are you sitting in a strange position?”

“There’s a ghost in my stomach.”

“······?!”

Isabel’s complexion turned pale.

He truly believed that Anne was a ghost. In fact, no one can see Anne except myself and myself. It was a foolish illusion, but it was fun, so I let it be.

“Oh, you also had a visible constitution, right?”

I patted Anne, who was warm and soft for a ghost.

Anne seemed to find it amusing, too, as she glanced at Isabelle and smiled secretly.

“···You got caught?”

“──────?!”

“I was actually murdered by this man.”

what?

I don’t know what it was, but Isabelle looked so cute when she was nervous, so I just watched.

“It was one night. This man broke into the house. I was dragged to the bed and left a mess───”

“Oh my?”

Julias approached without a sound and glanced at Anne.

“For a ghost, you’re cute and cute.”

“─────────?!!!!”

Anne is startled and looks at me and Julia in turn.

“Don’t do it—! Give it back─!”

The little hand was pounding my chest.

When I return the authority, Julias glances at me with a frown and then turns back. Isabel burst into laughter.

“I can’t even joke around?!”

Anne is glaring at me.

That’s because I learned strange things from the two of them. A strange feeling bloomed.

‘Kids learn so quickly.’

I patted and stroked Anne, who was held by me.

Julias had an expression on his face as if he had seen something in vain.

“What is it? I thought I saw something.”

“Isn’t Julia finally able to see ghosts?”

“···Can you explain about ghosts?”

Isabel gave flesh to her words as if she were turning on a fire.

“In the temple, they are called ‘selves’. They also take on the task of erasing these supernatural phenomena as quietly as possible.”

“‘Self’? Paranormal phenomenon?”

“Yes. Even the soul we think of is ultimately a part of nature.”

Anne climbed up gently and looked down at me arrogantly.

I tried to push away the approaching lips with my finger, but I bit them back.

And then lick it carefully.

······This is something I learned from watching.

When they go to bed, Anne lies in bed with them and enjoys the atmosphere between them.

As if the four of us had been together from the beginning.

Sigh! Tsk!

“······.”

There are degrees of careful licking.

‘I think it would be a really big problem if I learned more from you two.’

If those two harass you for just a week, the man will die.

─In the dictionary sense.

Anne is learning how to kill men.

I glanced at Isabelle.

just as expected? Isabel was very embarrassed and was watching the scene with a red face.

“So it’s not particularly strange.”

I pinched Anne’s cheeks and stretched them out as she was doing dirty things and laughing.

Just as I lost the ability to read facial expressions by feeling emotions, Anne lost her shame by losing her reputation.

“Ahihi───?!”

Brain functions are organically connected.

Communication through text and communication involving multiple body languages show a significant difference in brain health and social skills.

─Therefore, Anne being like this is also a kind of illness.

“Anne, are you planning on following me?”

“Yesss───!”

“Then, please be friendly with Isabel from now on. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”

Anne glances at Isabelle.

I twisted that soft cheek.

“Answer.”

“Aaaaa—! I’ll do it──!”

I let go of Anne, held her in my arms, and stroked her.

No shame means no hesitation.

Anne could be a good friend to Isabelle, who is lonely.
