85 – Bishop Florence

I couldn’t help but feel confused by Espin’s words, ‘It’s all because of Rumi.’

I was vaguely aware that the Heavenly God Church was overly obsessed with Rumi.

I didn’t know that everything would be focused on the academy just because of Rumi.

‘No, if you think about it, Rumi is the female protagonist. ‘Maybe it’s natural.’

There is no way they would have chosen someone with no influence as the main character.

It is clear that there must be a good reason.

As I was holding her head, thinking that I had no idea why, Espin slowly continued speaking.

“So, keep an eye on Rumi as much as you can. To be honest, I’m suspicious of Rumi itself… Because you don’t seem to be. “For now, I think it would be better for her to think of Rumi as a victim and get active.”

“I understand.”

“Anyway, I’ll go and interrogate him further.”

At her nod, Espin lightly waved her hand and slipped out of her lab.

– Rumi, you are a child who should not be happy.

The moment she heard in her dream the curse words peculiar to her adoptive parents, which she had been able to avoid hearing thanks to Dern, she had no choice but to wake up.

“…… “

Despite her status as a maid, she is still treated as a guest on the surface.

Even though there is an overly warm bonfire, a luxurious bed, and scented candles for relaxation.

She carefully got out of bed, feeling that she could not shake off the abuse she had received since childhood.

“… Dern.”

On the surface, she is saying that she doesn’t like it, that she doesn’t like it.

It was impossible for her to hate Dern, who was the only person in this world who gave her her hand first, who protected her and allowed her to live like this.

‘Of course, it’s hard to see him getting too involved with other women these days.’

If you think about it carefully, she is just a stone that sneakily rolled into the yard where her fiancee named Shien was.

Because it was not the person who originally occupied the position.

She knew in her head that she shouldn’t be particularly dissatisfied.

‘Nevertheless, he seems disappointed in Dern.’

Just by her presence, not only did she cause damage to Dern, but she also caused enormous damage to those around Dern.

She doesn’t want to cause any more harm to Dern, her lifesaver, her own first love, and her crush.

I was deliberately maintaining this attitude in order to leave him.

‘Only then will Dern be disappointed and leave me.’

That’s why she goes around showing signs of dislike on purpose to make people lose affection for her.

Dern had no intention of letting go of her and continued to maintain their current relationship with her.

‘… No, to be exact, it’s not that Dern isn’t letting go, it’s that I’m not letting go.’

If you think about it calmly, it wasn’t that difficult to escape from Dern’s side.

All I had to do was use her unique magical hiding ability to get out of her mansion.

‘After that, go to the outskirts and disappear into hiding.’

Even for Dern, finding yourself would be close to impossible.

Even though you know these methods, you don’t bother to do them.

It was probably due to a desire to stay by Dern’s side, even if only for a little while.

‘… I feel really stupid. ‘My head thinks I need to get away, but my body keeps trying to get to Dern.’

I sighed as I felt skeptical about my contradictory appearance, but soon fell into self-loathing and covered my face with both hands.

‘I don’t know anymore.’

I don’t know what to do and whether what I’m doing right now is right.

As a result, they are restless and conflicted.

Suddenly, the ‘kissing scene between Dern and Sien’ that I saw earlier came to mind.

‘… ‘Dern definitely looked very happy.’

This is my first time seeing him smile so brightly, so I feel jealous and anxious.

She had never smiled like that in front of herself.

Senpai was smiling like that.

I was jealous of that and my lips pouted a little.

She tried to calm herself down and shook her head.

‘Because I am the one who has to leave anyway…’ So let’s not pay too much attention to it.’

You are so presumptuously jealous of a topic that is only a nuisance.

Even in his own eyes, he thinks he is overly disgusting and is blaming himself by lightly slapping himself in the face.

Suddenly, she noticed a black cat looking at her outside the mansion.

‘Because it’s so far away, it’s hard to see.’

Should I call it a unique sense of déjà vu or a sense of foreignness?

She looked at the black cat, thinking that she was able to recognize it because of the strange feeling of foreignness.

She was able to recognize that it looked exactly like Dern’s cat.

‘When did we get there?’

She’s seen them playing in the park, but this is the first time she’s seen them go out of the mansion, so she’s looking at them because she thinks it’s strange.

Suddenly the black cat opens her mouth and conveys something to her.

[Dern dies because of you.]

It is highly likely that it is a simple misunderstanding, and it may be that I saw it wrong because the distance is so far.

The unique disgust and anxiety she felt every time she encountered the Heavenly God Church made her feel that this was the truth.

But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think Dern’s cat would suddenly do something like that, so I shake my head and try to shake it off.

– Kwaaang!

I had no choice but to freeze as I saw the cat explode in the distance, with pieces of flesh exploding in all directions.

Because that was the method the Heavenly God Church usually used to destroy their precious things.

‘…… ‘

The moment I realized that everything I had seen earlier was just my own illusion, I felt goosebumps all over my body.

… Now that I realize that the Celestial Church is really targeting Dern.

So, I slowly covered my face and decided to really prepare to leave.

I frowned as Luna, who was in my arms, suddenly stood up and gave me a light punch.

I looked down and wondered why it was so late in the evening.

Luna speaks to me in her urgent voice.

[A seed of negativity appeared nearby and then disappeared!]

“Seeds of negativity?”

[Yes! Judging by the energy dissipating all at once, it looks like it burst or split apart!]

Since the Seed of Negativity specializes in evasion, it would take a fairly strong wizard or knight to detonate it.

Those people won’t bother to come here and deal with the seeds of negativity.

Just as I was wondering something strange, Luna curled up her body again and spoke to me.

[Because it disappeared. Luna, I’m going to sleep.]

I slept all day, but when I heard that I was going to sleep again, I laughed out loud.

I think when Luna gets quiet, she nods her head, thinking that she likes it as soon as she gets quiet.

Luna lets out a long yawn and begins to drop her head.

‘Are you already dozing off?’

She is stroking Luna’s back, thinking that she is amazing in many ways.

Luna, who was dozing off with a happy expression, woke up and spoke to me.

[…] Master. I can feel an extremely powerful flow of magical energy nearby.]

I felt this too, so she nodded.

Luna stands up and looks around her.

[It seems to be heading north.]

I nodded at her and relaxed her shoulders.

It had only been a while since she touched Delia, so she thought she would wait at least a month before touching her, considering the loss of troops.

Thinking that it was already amazing to be touched, I slowly walked out of the lab.

‘I don’t know how strong it will be. At least he seems to be the strongest among those I’ve met so far.’

If the enormous magical energy can be felt up to this point, it seems that the Celestial God Church has pulled out the most powerful card among the cards that can be drawn.

I raised my eyebrows, thinking that I was somewhat excited about that fact.

*

Let’s go north. I wonder if there were people who felt similar magical energy as me.

There were a few people with somewhat sleepy faces.

I walked forward, passing them by, and looked around.

‘It doesn’t seem as unusual as I thought.’

As I was looking at this, thinking that I didn’t know why the magic energy was spreading so strongly.

Suddenly, the house in front was strangely distorted and changed its shape, turning into a somewhat bizarre house and standing tall in the middle of the city.

‘I don’t know how to express this… It looks like the house has been mixed together in a cruel way, like clay.’

When I was frowning at the sight that seemed like it shouldn’t exist in reality.

The door to the house suddenly opens and begins to spit out the things inside.

– I’m in tears

Flesh of red blood.

Such pieces of flesh fell all over the area, soaking the streets and covering everything with red blood.

Soon, it begins to wriggle and flutter as if it were alive.

When people around you frown and gag at such a sight.

Someone came out of the bizarre house and greeted us with a rather cheerful expression.

“Good morning!”

It’s late in the evening, with dawn approaching, and it feels strange to hear that it’s good morning.

Moreover, the human flesh scattered at his feet amplifies this even more.

People around them were swallowing their saliva as they took a step back, feeling scared.

As he was looking at them, he glanced at me.

He then smiled brightly, waved his hand, and began to say something.

“I heard a lot about this. So, is it Lercie Dern? Because I can’t remember the name very well. Anyway, nice to meet you!”

A lively voice that is completely opposite to the atmosphere.

After hearing such a voice, I spoke briefly to be greeted as well.

“Original explosion.”
