Three eyes turn to me.

    “Yes? Dantalian?”

    “What are you talking about?”

    The five senses gradually disappear.

    My senses became dull, sound disappeared, and I became blind.

    Even the feeling of the inner skin disappears, and the sense of balance disappears.

    As soon as I felt the floating sensation of being freed from gravity, I began to see ahead.

    ‘It’s not what it seems.’

    This is just a realistic dream.

    A table and sofa floating in a bottomless pit with no shadows.

    And Dantalian sitting on the sofa opposite.

    At some point, I was already sitting on the sofa opposite.

    “What are you curious about?”

    “Don’t you know.”

    “Okay. I don’t know.”

    Dantalian laughs arrogantly.

    “Isabel’s identity, the blessing given to Isabel, and the responsibilities assigned to Isabel by the servant. Tell everything.”

    He was still smiling and looked straight at me with his dark eyes.

    “Are you planning on spending your wish on such an easy thing?”

    I’m the one using the wish.

    It doesn’t matter how trivial it is.

    “I have to find out just how shabby the servant was.”

    “I hope you don’t involve me. Because I also think the same way as the contractor.”

    “No time.”

    Before, I almost crossed the Nether just by exchanging a few words with Dantalian.

    I’m sure I’m dying in real life right now.

    “Contractor, let me ask you again. Would you use a wish for something that can be answered by simple reasoning?”

    ‘Simple inference?’

    I was embarrassed. Are you saying I can find out Isabelle’s identity?

    Are you saying I have all the information about Isabelle’s identity?

    “The accident was simplified because the cause was forgotten due to chronic anger and paranoia toward the servant. I will give you plenty of time so that your body does not get damaged, so take your time──”

    Kwaaang───!

    There is a crack in the air and light seeps in.

    A ray of shattered light shining in the darkness seemed mysterious and dreamlike.

    “···Is it Venus again?”

    “Yes. He is so angry that he goes on a rampage.”

    Dantalian speaks and smiles as if he were telling a story.

    “Do you think there is a lot of karma accumulated between the two?”

    “It’s somewhat like that.”

    I was in charge of solving the problems of other servants.

    According to Seth’s words, I will not face death.

    In other words, Dantalian is simply not trusted by Venus.

    “But didn’t you save Amor in the end?”

    “Yes? What do you mean?”

    “Aren’t you the one who gave Amor the courage to die?”

    “I don’t know.”

    Dantalian smirks.

    However, Venus no longer tried to interfere with my face-to-face meeting with Dantalian.

    “Tsk, you make a tickling sound…”

    Dantalian glances at me with a bright smile.

    Venus clearly didn’t understand that.

    In other words, I only understood it after hearing it from my own lips.

    Because servants and humans think from different perspectives.

    “Contractor, let go of your anger and see things as they are.”

    Let go of your anger towards servants?

    Is that possible? You’ve seen my life.

    “There is nothing good about being angry in life. Anger is no different from muscle pain, so it biases or shrinks thinking.”

    “I’m angry. What should I do?”

    “I will relieve you of your anger. You need to reflect on yourself at least once and fall into contemplation.”

    Dantalian, who left meaningful words, disappeared into the darkness as if eaten.

    Soon, even the chair I was sitting on disappears.

    Soon, a pleasant sensation of floating, as if free from the control of gravity, took over my body.

    Lastly, a classic that puts your mind at ease…

    [There is also jazz.]

    “···Just be quiet.”

    Soon there was complete silence.

    The anger that was so absurd subsides.

    okay. It’s the perfect place for contemplation. Let’s think about it.

    ——————————————–

    ah. I see

    This is why I put a spell on myself to prevent me from forgetting the past.

    So that you can always look back.

    “···Do you respect my humanity for killing over thousands of people?”

    Dantalian, buried in the darkness, appears.

    “Of course.”

    You respect me, a murderer?

    ‘···no.’

    Dantalian wasn’t on anyone’s side to begin with.

    To that devil, humanity meant harmony.

    Even I, the agent, was only a part of that harmony.

    What prevented me from reading Isabelle’s emotions was Dantalian’s arrangement for harmony.

    To allow me to see Isabelle as she really is.

    To allow Isabel to be seen by me as she really is.

    “···That’s why you are called the devil.”

    Because we have accepted even the ugly humanity of people.

    “Hahaha! That’s high praise. That’s why I like being called the devil.”

    Dantalian laughs cheerfully.

    “···Are wishes made to be written?”

    “Did you make a wish?”

    It seemed as if he was amused by the sly answer.

    “I will advise the contractor.”

    My head becomes clearer.

    I couldn’t say a word because I felt like I would wake up right away if I said anything.

    “Let go of fear.”

    ·

    ·

    ·

    ·

    ·

    ·

    “Ha!”

    The stale breath that had been trapped in my chest for a long time was released in a refreshing way.

    ‘Head hurts···!’

    Where are we?

    ···Isabel’s bedroom?

    Why am I in a place like this?

    “···Vision?”

    A lovely voice resonates.

    Before I knew it, Anne, who was being held next to me, also opened her eyes.

    “Lee?! Are you awake?! Are you okay?!”

    ” suddenly collapsed! The high priest said that Si-hyeon had contacted him and that he could die…!”

    “The reception has ended.”

    Isabelle looks down at me with a restless look on her face.

    “It was written in the trial book…”

    “No need to say.”

    Because I don’t need to know anymore.

    I hugged Isabelle and Anne and buried them in my chest.

    The green eyes that freeze and look up at me are so beautiful.

    “···Vision?”

    Dantalian told me.

    [In addition to the subjective point of view, there is also the point of view held by the soul.]

    [The thoughts we have when judging people or seeing things do not all come from algorithms engraved in our brains.]

    [This is especially true if you meet a person or soul you had a connection with in your past life.]

    [This is the attractive force that I explained before.]

    Ceres also told me.

    [The servant’s power is made from souls.]

    [The White Wolf was the child who would receive the blessings of the thirteen servants who would inform Ajin of our intentions.]

    When I was reincarnated, Dantalian gave me a hint and left.

    [There is a saying like this. The child is the enemy.]

    he said

    [I like that hair and eye color. That’s why I liked Jean. To the point where I want to get married. But when you showed up, you looked like a prince.]

    For Jules, who was reborn, what was the aesthetic crystallisation?

    He is the ideal type who can receive attention from the person he loves.

    Why does this person remember me?

    The servant would not have been able to give up the method of dealing with the soul that was built up as a conditioned reflex in Jules’ brain and created with 174 years of know-how.

    That’s why Isabel didn’t go wild like Anne or other priests.

    ‘There are only a few more years until the Hibi Desert cools down.’

    In the meantime, Isabel’s royal authority cannot be solidified.

    There is still no way to cross over to the Inoe Demon World and no train to supply food.

    The struggle of the Ain of the Human World to take over Hisibamak will remain in history as a war of aggression that invaded their homeland in the Romaria Empire.

    ‘At that time, Jules’ innate fighting ability will be needed by Isabelle.’

    Thanks to this, the conditioned reflex feelings toward me that were engraved in Jules’ brain were imprinted in Isabel’s brain.

    Because Jules loved me, my appearance naturally became what it is now.

    ‘Why did people around me refuse to let me meet Jules?’

    When light illuminates the world, darkness disappears.

    When Juul took over my soul, from then on, the burden I carried was carried by Juul, who was the original owner.

    The blessings given to me will also be taken away.

    ‘From then on, the world would have moved on whether I died or not.’

    ─That would have been the original scenario.

    However, the servant who coveted my power decided to use it as he pleased the day he escaped from Dantalian’s clutches.

    They said they would use me even if I were born as a maggot.

    Ironically, the servant was not perfect. At least from a human perspective.

    They are not human. That’s why you can never understand humans.

    I scratched their itchy spots.

    The servants began to question my humanity and started to respect me.

    “···Lee?”

    “Sihyeon, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

    “Do you remember what you said back then?”

    “What?”

    “Didn’t you say that you wanted to have an affair with a baseless guardian knight?”

    Now that I think about it, it’s really unfortunate.

    Who would pretend to be pitiful and tempt people with lies like that?

    “Yes, yes?!”

    “Would you like to see me?”

    But there are still unresolved questions.

    The story about how I will become the king of the world…

    Isabel opens her eyes wide and frowns.

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

    Bounce?

    “If you don’t like it, don’t do it.”

    “···You don’t hate it, do you?”

    “The opportunity has passed.”

    He left a light kiss on the forehead of Isabel, who was frozen without even understanding the situation.

    He left Anne a light kiss on the cheek.

    And then he hugged them both tightly.

    I will protect you.

    Even if I die.

    I will protect you even if I die or come back.

    ─Forever.

    “···What’s wrong?”

    ···Let’s talk.

    “I originally liked the princess.”

    Isabelle glanced at me with a sulking expression.

    “Hmph, did Dantalian even say that I am a wise mother and good wife?”

    Isabel’s colorful expressions feel as if she is alive.

    The questions I see are infinitely childish, but they make me happy.

    ‘Who on earth is a wise mother and good wife?’

    no. Since she is a royal, you could say she is a wise mother and good wife.

    It’s kind of a lie.

    “You will become the star of this world.”

    “···Yes?”

    “At that time, you will become the Absolute of Pangea, blessed with the blessings of the Thirteen Servants and the souls of hundreds of millions.”

    “What are you saying all of a sudden?”

    “You left me a will. Please find yourself.”

    I told Isabel everything. All the things I’ve been hiding.

    It was some time later that Isabelle, who had been listening to my story, showed me her buried face.

    The green eyes look dim and pensive.

    “···Isabel is a white wolf? When Lee held a funeral?”

    “That’s right.”

    Anne opens her eyes and looks at Isabelle.

    “No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know.”

    “What don’t you know?”

    “Is it really necessary to play with people so persistently?”

    “Servants cannot directly interfere with the subhumans of Pangea.”

    “Direct and indirect… it’s not that kind of issue. Interference is interference.”

    Locked eyes come to mind.

    Soaked in anger.

    “It is foolish to treat a doll you made with respect.”

    “Does the doll say that?”

    But they are the managers of the world.

    If that wasn’t possible, their ‘policy’ should have been exploited.

    I should have at least teased him by giving him shit like that.

    ‘But you can’t do that to someone you can’t even see.’

    They even secretly concealed their policies.

    Still… I can’t help but feel like things are going very well.

    I cannot see the servants, and they do not interfere directly with me.

    ‘Will this really be the case in the future?’

    When I arrived at this fact, I urged Dantalian to make a wish.

    Are you really going to use it for something like this?

    It’s something you can realize just by thinking about it.

    Could it be that the servant, who was a few steps ahead, didn’t notice that?

    ‘No.’

    It was definitely something I would find out at some point.

    “My father’s funeral will begin now.”

    It was a quiet voice.

    I could feel a scent passing by there.

    “Are you disappointed?”

    “What is it?”

    “It’s written on the face.”

    Isabel likes me.

    Because he inherited all the conditioned reflexes engraved in Jules’ mind.

    ···When Juul acted based on Jure, not me, didn’t I also say shit to Jule?

    “I liked you, and I still like you now.”

    “I just feel better knowing that you are the person I was looking for.”

    “You loved me even in death, and I loved you even in death.”

    “We didn’t know each other, but we still liked each other.”

    “That’s enough.”

    I consoled Anne and Isabelle who were held by me.

    Soon Isabel stood up and got out of my arms.

    “How long have I been sleeping?”

    “I was sleeping all day. I was really surprised.”

    …I’m glad that my body odor isn’t that bad.

    I gently pinched and stroked Anne’s swollen cheek.

    “Eugh···.”

    A person like this is an agent of a servant who is nowhere to be found.

    I stroked the cat-like Anne and enjoyed the warmth.

    Maybe I saved two agents.

    “It’s fascinating.”

    A slightly weak voice.

    Isabel was wearing a simple dress.

    “What are you excited about?”

    “The child who did not receive anyone’s attention is actually the reincarnation of a hero, destined to take over the world… The person I came to like was my student… I was educated by him.”

    Isabel turns her head and looks at me.

    “Could you please button it?”

    I buttoned Isabelle’s clothes and put my clothes back on.

    I didn’t want to get up, but I had no choice.

    The watch Alfred gave me showed 10:30.

    It is midheaven.

    “···It’s something that only appears in novels or plays, right?”

    “Giving meaning to something is foolish.”

    “I’m not giving it meaning. It’s just amazing.”

    Isabelle, now sulking, sits down at the dressing table and skillfully begins applying light makeup.

    “What kind of person was I?”

    “It was a sneer. He was a glutton, and he coveted and was incestuous with his younger brother, who crippled his hand. Later, my younger sister and I had an orgy with my crippled younger brother.”

    “Now, wait a minute?!!”

    Anne and Isabelle look at me in astonishment.

    To put it simply, there is no soybean powder like this.

    “On top of that, he mistook my younger brother for me and lewdly took advantage of a single mistake in his speech and raped me. Then he called the saint’s mother and ate it with him.”

    “────────────────────?!!”

    I can say without a doubt that I have never seen Isabelle so surprised.

    “The saint was shocked and felt betrayed by me.”

    How funny to think that Jules would be this embarrassed.

    As I face those shocked eyes, joy fills my heart.

    I may say this teasingly, but I loved every part of it.

    Did you know for the first time that when a person is in love, even his/her shortcomings become strengths?

    “And you died because of me.”

    Isabelle’s shaking pupils closed as if to hide her true feelings.

    By the time it was knitted again, it had calmed down considerably.

    “Uh, it’s all from a past life that has passed anyway. Someone other than me. Right?”

    “Yes. It’s all a thing of the past.”

    It’s cute.

    Isabel’s eyes widen slightly.

    “Why is Sihyeon looking for such a crazy person? Isn’t it better to forget?”

    “You will know the end of the white wolf.”

    “I know. I should know, but…”

    A sigh that leaves me speechless hits my ears softly.

    okay. It must be difficult to deny it in front of me.

    “Who am I, I am not someone. There is no need to think like this.”

    “······.”

    “People live in the present. You can erase the shameful past with a passionate present.”

    Isabelle, dressed first, pulls my arm and puts vambrace on it.

    “Tell me about the white wolf tonight. Not something disappointing like that.”

    “Okay.”
