“Hyaaang───!! Kellogg! Hyaaa!!! Hyaaaang?!! okay! Got it! Stop now!”

Seth raised the white flag in a hoarse voice only before his soul escaped through the hole.

Seth, who had received hard corporal punishment, was shedding tears all over his body.

Eyes, nose, mouth, skin.

Among them, the one that cried the most sorrowfully was the horn hole.

The eyelids of the hornhole were red and swollen, and he was crying, and gray-white sticky tears were flowing like a torrent of tears.

Other people’s tears are water.

But the tears flowing down my face were a little disappointing.

Because those tears were my very sensitive tears.

“Behave well from now on.”

“Yes… Sorry…~♡”

Seth laughs foolishly with a red face.

The corporal punishment ended by biting the tongue, the source of all evil.

Kkooook──

I don’t know what made him anxious, but he hugged me tightly and rubbed me.

In the same way, he hugged my waist and gently hugged my head and stroked my hair.

Only then did I return the sealed authority.

Seth’s physical fatigue evaporated, and he regained his usual state in an instant.

And then doesn’t he change his mind like a ghost?

That dynamic change was really funny.

‘It’s like the difference between before entering the bathroom and after coming out.’

This means that everything has been done.

“Seth.”

There is no answer.

I was still sulking. I don’t know how to console myself.

“If I run away like Seth said, you know what will happen, right?”

“···World War II will break out.”

My voice is shaking.

I guess you’ve shaken off all the lingering feelings?

“What about war? You can’t get up.”

“······.”

“That is the worst result of the political failure of the superiors.”

When war breaks out, children who have nowhere to go because of me die.

Monsters who have lived five to ten times their life in battle will slaughter the walls of the great intestines without any hesitation.

“War is the responsibility of everyone who failed to prevent it.”

If I hadn’t been in the military, I wouldn’t have taken this fact so seriously.

‘Why is it my fault?’ He said. It was a shallow thought.

“So please don’t hate me too much. You’re the boyfriend struggling in the dark to prevent the second war, right?”

This person has received so much.

So much so that I don’t know how to repay it.

If Seth hadn’t given me armor made from Leviathan’s skin in the first place, I might have died in the South.

What about a lot of other information?

Even Isabel was brought back to life.

It’s all about this person─── My brain stopped thinking after discovering the singularity.

···The focus of Seth’s eyes doesn’t suit me.

As if looking into the distance.

“···If you succeed, will the servants leave you alone?”

“Yes?”

“······You are so capable.”

······What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Am I capable? I am the ultimate in self-stubbornness.

Seth looked up at me in tears. I was miserable in my heart, and I was impulsive, as if I was setting fire in anger.

“He’s so capable that he wants to use him anywhere! If you stop the war and bring back the demi-human of the Inner Demon World—?! Do you think that will end your suffering──?!”

“I don’t think I’m particularly competent.”

“Yes, it would be like that to others. ···Because crazy people like you are unprecedented in the history of Pangea.”

The eyes looking at me are full of resentment.

why? Finally, the green eyes focus on me.

“With free will, you went astray and acted as you please… and then one role, which was only a minor role, started to change everything, right?”

“What did I do?”

I have no idea what Seth is talking about right now.

I’m starting to change everything?

Soon tears flowed.

“You saved Venus and Venus’ agent, who had never been saved since Genesis.”

“He took the lead in treating the plague and raised the status of servants.”

“The egos of those people will fill their bellies.”

Does that make you competent?

“Whether the servant was a fisherman or not, it was something he had to do.”

“Why do you have to do that? Are you aware that you are being taken advantage of? Have you ever thought about wanting to be comfortable or anything like that?”

“Dantalian said that. I put goodness and generosity into my head.”

Not an absolute good, but my unstable good.

When I thought about it calmly, it gave me goosebumps.

The lack of selfishness is the lack of sloth.

When I look back on my footsteps, there are more than one or two unnatural parts.

Even though no one is paying for it, why is this being done in silence?

‘Why was I so thoughtless and diligent?’

I had no idea that castrated selfishness could work this way.

“Okay. I guess so. Have you ever thought about why the servants treat you so kindly?”

“Why do Ceres and Prometheus ask you to cross the dark ocean, which there is no way to cross, and save the demihumans of the Infinite Demon…?”

The reason was simple.

“Because I am Dantalian’s agent. It was decided that way from the beginning.”

Everything was Dantalian’s agent, and it probably happened because he loved humanity.

“Dantalian’s agent? Do you really think you got such a great role?”

“If you didn’t have free will, you would have died a month ago.”

I died?

Seth nods.

“···Because you are a minor character who was there to create conflict for the White Wolf.”

…Are you saying I was destined to die in the first place?

Was Jules destined to be alive?

‘It’s my fault… Jules died?’

A self-deprecating laugh flowed out.

“Why are you telling me that?”

“I am your advisor. I was assigned that role. Do you know what I mean? My job is to help you do your work without going against the will of a servant.”

My head gets confused.

Because I couldn’t understand the situation.

“···I don’t understand.”

I had no choice but to ask for an explanation again.

“If I had died a month ago, at least I would have been free.”

“By now, you would have been born as an ordinary person in a well-to-do family with no involvement in such matters.”

“If you succeed in this… you will not be able to escape from the servants even in death.”

“Even if you are reborn as a maggot, the servant will find you.”

“So…even if you lose everything, you have to refuse this job now.”

I don’t understand what on earth is driving Seth like this.

If so, you should at least listen.

Because there was desperation in Seth’s eyes.

“······Do you want to live a wandering life for the rest of your life, unable to even make a nest for insects?”

It’s a contradiction.

Would you give up something precious to protect something precious?

I held Seth in my arms and patted his back as if admonishing him.

“If you don’t, you lose everything. I wouldn’t have been able to be with Seth like this.”

“──────?!”

Seth’s hands are shaking.

Tears came pouring out. As if I was on the verge of death.

“It’s okay now. Because it’s okay now…!”

“I’m fine.”

Family to me? How many homes have I ruined?

Even though he has Rohan, he is working hard.

Still, I can’t imagine it.

‘I am the head of a family?’

The head of the family is the one who protects the family.

Respect blooms from respect.

Then we must respect other people’s families.

But he wasn’t a cat that I could respect.

To be precise, it felt shameless.

‘How many families have I destroyed?’

The first family member to choose euthanasia without their parents knowing.

The second family settled in a deserted mountain because of me.

The third family that went through a difficult time after getting divorced because of my voice.

It was all my fault that my family fell apart.

─What about the thousands of demihumans I killed?

Even the dead of Hindire cursed me.

Even now, if Shirna Lexi meets someone she really wants, I’m willing to let them go.

“Can you explain what the servant’s plan is?”

Green eyes as beautiful as jewels are staring at me.

Eventually, Seth burst into empty laughter, avoided eye contact, and hugged me as if to comfort me.

As this tearful person consoles me, ironically, maternal love comes to mind.

“···Can’t you see?”

A small, clear… and dejected voice echoing in my ears.

It feels like I’ve given up.

I feel like I have been abandoned and my stomach is upset.

“What is it?”

“···We are not the only ones here.”

When you know something and then doubt it, there are things that become new to you.

Although emotions cannot be read, Jules’ sensitive sense of humor can tell.

─There is a servant in this room.

“The servants here have gathered to confirm your free will.”

“···Really? But… since when did they exist?”

“Before I came here.”

These crazy voyeuristic perverts?!

I carefully pulled up the blanket and covered myself…

“Uhuhuh···.”

Seth smiles and hugs me with tears in his eyes.

This crazy?!!!

“···Who came?”

“Everyone except Dantalian.”

“──────?!”

···You crazy perverts!

Even in his embarrassment, I caught sight of Seth who was relieved.

To make Seth feel better, I threw off the blanket and glared into space with my eyes wide open.

“What are you looking at, you bastards! Eat it all?!”

“Sigh—?!”

I hugged Sets, who was smiling, and covered my head with the blanket.

* * * * * *

“Oh, first, would you like to come to Isabel’s birthday party?”

Seth shakes his head.

“It is not polite for a high-ranking official from another country to attend a party without being invited.”

“I’ll take care of that.”

The coming-of-age ceremony is a particularly big party.

Great nobles with their own fiefdoms would not stop by, but no matter how much the royal family kept Isabel’s party in check, it was natural for the nobles within the castle to show their faces.

If you decide to start, let’s start with a bang.

“I wasn’t the main character of the party in the first place.”

“Hide and come out secretly, give a gift or run away like a fairy from a storybook.”

“What? We must remain neutral. Do you think you will stay still in Yunaira in the first place?”

“You two are already listening to everything.”

“I know. I said this out of courtesy.”

Seth exhales deeply.

“And what are you going to do about Golden Road?”

Golden Road?

“What Golden Road?”

“Thanks to you, the top of the class has grown to the size of a country. Do you know how much stronger Baek Seol’s army has become in just one year?”

Why is that?

What should I do?

Seth looks at me intently and demands an answer.

“···Didn’t you raise them to eat?”

“Are you eating? What do you eat?”

Seth raises his green eyes.

The look in his eyes was so absurd that he wasn’t even angry.

“Are you crazy?! Do you know how much profit the Golden Lord is making now with the power of servants?!”

“I don’t know.”

To begin with, Jemmy Dreeker’s face is barely visible, and I don’t even want to know.

He is a human being who knows my identity and sees me as ‘complete’.

Even though I am an imperfect human being.

“What?! I don’t know, right?!”

“Golden Road? I just used it.”

“···Golden Road’s Alda Habian Daebang is dead. Not from natural causes, but from poisoning. Of course, Jemmy Drucker, who received your help, sat in the main room.”

‘Poisoned? ···Jemmy Drucker?’

I started to feel dizzy.

It was clear that he was mistaken as well. Very firmly too!

“I don’t know. It’s a very sad thing.”

“···Yes. It’s a shame.”

Seth answered in a weak voice and got dressed.

As soon as I heard the sound, I naturally looked through the set to find a topic of conversation.

Engraved on the white coat── dragon?

“Do dragons look like that?”

“Ah, yes.”

It looks like it’s sitting on two feet, wings spread, and bored.

And next to it is Craxxmara.

Overall, she resembles Lexi.

Of course, Lexi is a human, but that person is a ‘dragon’.

It looks like something between a human and a dragon from a fairy tale.

If Yongin existed, he would have looked like that.

“Oh, can you make this for me?”

“What again this time?”

He showed off the blueprint that Heinrich had made.

Seth’s eyebrows frowned like wrinkled clothes as he accepted the design.

“It’s possible… but who on earth thinks like this?”

Is Heinrich so great that you can’t help but admire him?

that’s right. Heinrich is a craftsman so great that he can be counted on one hand.

“Why? Because it’s amazing?”

“Creativity can only be achieved if you have some knowledge about the subject to be demonstrated.”

“That’s right. He’s a weapon maker.”

“That’s not it, he seems like a person with a bit of a dangerous ideology.”

Are ideas dangerous?

What kind of danger is there after just looking at a blueprint?

If Seth’s words are true, doesn’t it mean that I, who fell in love with him, have more dangerous thoughts?

“Yes?”

“Do you know the person who made the heavy crossbow? Heinrich Schweinsteiger?”

“Yes.”

Seth sighed as if he knew that would happen.

“···If the weapon blueprints are exposed like before, there is no answer. The weapon system will change completely again.”

“How can we mass produce something like this?”

“Future civilization is extremely dangerous just by coming into contact with it.”

Seth sighs weakly through his nose.

The blueprint in my hand burned and disappeared without leaving a trace of ashes.

“I will only use it when I really need to.”

“···I’ve made it before, so I’m sure I can make it quickly.”

widely!

Seth shakes his hands off.

The last piece of paper held by my fingertips was swallowed up by flames in midair.

“It’s like magic.”

“Magic? This is magic.”

“In our world, it’s called magic. They say wizards make money by pretending that magic is magic.”

“Heung.”

Seth snorted and his eyes glanced at me.

“···Maybe it’s because of O-Parts that you can change the world.”

“I was not a great person, but an ordinary person.”

“But there is not a single demihuman in Pangea who has thoughts like yours.”

“If there had been more, Pangea would have already been destroyed.”

Something Jules said suddenly comes to mind.

All people are wolves in sheep’s clothing, and anyone can become a wolf.

Therefore, anyone can become a human being like me.

If you think about it that way, my software was definitely OParts.

“Anyway, I want to ask you something.”

There is still one day left until Isabelle’s coming-of-age ceremony.

First, let’s learn about the Habstenburg nobility from Seth.
