The best weapon in the setup (1)

The father’s words broke the silence followed by a heavy sigh.

“It is said that there has been an upheaval at the Neftam Temple near Kiev Square. They say the priests and paladins were all… annihilated overnight. Including the pilgrims who stayed there. I will protect you two apprentice priests in my castle for now.”

Hearing those words, Elina held her breath and pressed her mouth with both hands.

“That… that…”

Elina’s body was shaking with shock.

The temples of the god Neftam spread throughout the dukedom, as if to represent the number of followers.

Considering the place where I met Elina among those temples, Elina must have been entrusted to the temple near Kiev Square.

And there must have been quite a few people like family in it.

“I’m sorry.”

As if her father’s words had dealt the final blow, Elina suddenly collapsed with her eyes closed.

I reflexively grabbed Elina, but Elina had already lost consciousness.

“Eh, Elina…”

Elin was also shocked.

Elin’s expression was not good as he wiped the fallen Elina’s face.

Not only that, but Elin was shivering as if it was very cold in the room lit by the spring sun.

Considering the guilt Elin must be feeling, it’s a relief that he didn’t faint together.

He is reprimanding himself, thinking that he brought the misfortune of being a red snake and came to Elina.

“Father, how did you…”

I said looking at my father.

“Exactly what happened is still being investigated. Because it happened this morning. However, it is said that a strong magical energy remained at the site. And, oddly enough, they said that there was not a single witness while all the priests were being massacred.”

My father pressed his eyelids as if he was tired.

“Common sense, I don’t understand. The priests of Neftam are not enviable in terms of force…”

Speaking of Nettam, he devoted his energy to training priests who used force enough to be called the god of victory.

They must be like that… in just one night.

Even though it is only one of the temples spread all over the place.

“You can take the two priests and comfort them. I will take care of things.”

“yes.”

I nodded my head to my father and lifted Elina up by assisting my strength with magic.

I didn’t have enough magic power, but I’ll hold on until I move Elina to the bed.

Not long after I slipped out of my father’s office, Nias carefully tugged at the hem of my dress.

A light of wonder was etched into his black eyes.

“why?”

“…a red snake…isn’t it?”

They ask if the culprit of this massacre is the red snake.

Of course.

“right. It is a red snake.”

“Then, it’s better to tell His Highness the Duke…”

“Are you stupid?”

At my words, Nias widened her eyes.

“So you are limited in your movements. No matter how much my father would let me wander around such a dangerous place?”

There is a degree of real men.

Unless I was old enough to go to the academy, I wouldn’t let a 10-year-old run around a dangerous place openly.

“But still…”

“And they warned us. That side declared war first.”

There must have been a guy in that alleyway who heard all of our stories and told them in a normal state.

He must have thought of killing me, but for some reason he didn’t have the guts to enter the Duchy with confidence as he went to massacre the temple.

So, they ‘warned’.

Do not be rash. When will I come after you

I hoped that you would be frightened of me thinking I was a child.

And I’m not just a child.

“I will annihilate them from now on.”

I was very, very angry.

Originally, I was going to take care of it moderately enough that I couldn’t attack, but my thoughts have completely changed.

Elina and Ellin weren’t the only ones shocked by their father’s words.

It was no different than what I had done.

The setting of the world has changed because of me.

And because of that, those guys touched people they didn’t have a relationship with, and hurt Elina she’ll never forget again.

In particular, the part that hurt Elina is big.

And if I did something, I will only take responsibility.

I will trample down the last one thoroughly.

so that it will never squirm again.

After putting Elina down on the bed in my room, I started getting ready to go out tonight.

I opened the picture book and hammered the contents into my head.

I intended to complete the weapon search that was suspended the other day.

“Nice scent…”

Nias said he was worried about the sleeping Elina, and was lighting a scented candle in the room that had a calming effect.

And that, in fact, was also for Elin.

Elin hadn’t said anything since before.

Holding onto the hand of the fainting Elina, she only lowered her head.

Guilt, sorry, all of those things were mixed together, and Elin’s emotions were supposed to fill up.

Yuan is an evil god.

And evil spirits are beings that feed on evil deeds and negative emotions and increase their strength.

If those negative emotions engulf Elin, the power of Yuan that was suppressed by Elina might burst out.

‘I should do something.’

I thought so and got up from my seat.

Even when I approached, Elin didn’t respond.

He didn’t seem to be crying, he just stood there blankly with his long silver hair hanging down.

It was when I tried to speak.

“..ugh.”

Elina slowly opened her eyes.

“Are you okay? Etch.”

Nias coughed weakly, impatiently.

“I’m a little… dizzy.”

Nias saw Elina trying to raise her upper body and quickly helped her.

“I… have I lost my mind?”

Elina asked softly.

“yes. Just now…in His Highness the Duke’s office…”

Elina tightly closed her eyes at Nias’ answer, as if still shocked.

Then, he brought his hands together and pressed them against his chest.

Suffering filled his heart, but it seemed that he could not scoop it out and could not find a way to release it.

“…extermination.”

A cry added to Elina’s voice.

“why…? Because of me? Because I… was there. A red snake…”

Elina was speechless.

Tears came pouring out.

The first loss in her life for a girl named Elina.

The pain is not something that can be expressed in a few words.

To Elina, those who died by the Red Serpent must have been family.

And seeing Elina like that, Ellin was far away.

Just yesterday, it was Elina who always had a bright smile in front of Elin. Elin couldn’t say anything at Elina’s appearance, and kept her mouth shut as if she had aphasia.

It was as if he thought he shouldn’t approach Elina.

“My heart hurts so much. I don’t know what to do… Something keeps boiling over… I should forgive, but I can’t.”

Tears of anger and sadness flowed from Elina’s eyes as she closed her eyes and fell onto the futon.

“I hope they pay the price. I shouldn’t be like this, but I want to do that. I want those people…”

Even though I was trembling, the words that continued were interrupted.

It seemed that even Elina herself did not know what she wanted to do with them.

“I know it’s sad. Do not cry. Cry later. I can fix it.”

I opened my mouth to such Elina.

Elina slowly raised her head and looked at me.

“solution…?”

Elina stared at me with silver eyes full of wonder.

“One by one, you just have to make them pay for what they have done. ”

In particular, if taking a person’s life was taken lightly, he was confident that his own life would be taken lightly as well.

And the meaning of this word was one.

let’s get revenge Let us pay the price with our lives.

Elina stared blankly at me like someone struck by lightning.

“…Kill?”

Elina asked as if trying to understand the true meaning of my words.

“It will.”

I nodded.

Elina opened her mouth and hesitated several times. You will be repeating your thoughts dozens or hundreds of times.

It wouldn’t have been an easy choice.

Elina’s essence is infinite goodness.

But at the same time, as a human being, there was no way that sadness and vengeance would not rear their heads.

“Think… I’ll try.”

In the end, what came out of Elina’s mouth was withholding an answer.

“okay. There is still time.”

Although not many.

It was then that Elin made an unexpected move.

“…no.”

Elin took a small step back.

Then, as if running away, he opened the door and went outside.

“Elin-sama…”

Elina looked bewildered at the door Elin had left.

“Nias. Take care of Elina.”

“Ah yes! Okay!”

Nias is not a child to be jealous of at times like this.

As Nias calmed down Elina, who was about to stagger to her feet, I followed her into the hallway.

Elin was standing on the terrace that led to the garden not far from the room.

It was a terrace facing the garden where flowers were blooming beautifully in spring.

Holding onto the railing of the terrace, Elin gazed into the distance.

“Is the scenery nice here?”

Elin, who was weeping at my voice and looking at the garden, shook her shoulders slightly as if she was startled.

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at me.

The eyes that had lost their vitality like dull silver marbles made it possible to gauge the depth of sadness and guilt that Elin was feeling.

However, he would not have been able to confide his distressed heart in the room.

Because Elina, who is more suffering and sadder than herself, is there.

You must be thinking that you have to hide it and put up with it.

“You can talk here.”

I snapped my fingers and opened my mouth.

A soundproofing area was spread around.

Since the mana was depleted, the narrow magic’s soundproofing magic was at its limit.

“No one will hear our conversation.”

A moment of silence passed.

next moment.

Elin opened her mouth as if bursting a piled up dam.

“…it hurts. so painful.”

Erin pressed her chest with both hands.

The pain in the heart wouldn’t be different just because it was Elin.

“It still hurts. I don’t know how to tell Elina. I don’t know how to treat you. It’s all because of me.”

I walked slowly in front of Elin.

It was because Elin, who said that, looked dangerous as if she would collapse at any moment.

As I approached, Elin looked at me with tears in her eyes.

Then he slowly leaned towards me and rested his head on my shoulder.

.

.

.

The moment I buried my face in his arms, I felt like I was falling apart.

When I see Leonhard, I feel relieved without even realizing it.

A feeling of safety, a feeling she had never felt before, began to lift as she buried her face in his arms.

“How to?”

Elin asked, seeking an answer.

If it was this person, it seemed that he knew the answer somehow.

“What do you want to do?”

Then, as if whispering, Leonhardt asked.

Elin hesitated several times before opening his mouth.

“Can I speak?”

Are you really okay?

don’t you hate me?

Wouldn’t this person also hate me if he knew his own ugliness?

“You can do it.”

Saying that, Leonhard put his hand on Elin’s head.

It’s not like stroking, it’s like squeezing a little weight.

Reassured by that gentle touch, Elin felt her heart slowly peeling away.

If it was this person, he seemed to accept any of his words.

Elin mustered up the courage to reveal her ugliness to him.

“I want them all dead. I want you to die as painfully as possible. I want to give you more than the pain I received. I want to give back many times the pain Elina felt. I want to burn it, melt it with poison, stab it with a knife, and torment it. And…and I hope Elina will say that too.”

Elin’s pain wasn’t just guilt.

Elin didn’t forget the kidnapping and the ironing on the back of her hand.

And now they have taken away even the family of their beloved sister.

I wanted to pay the price. I want it to be as terrifying as possible.

This was different from the revenge others were talking about.

He wanted them to die as painfully as possible.

While regretting the life he had lived, he wished for the worst possible death.

He didn’t know what to do yet because he lacked experience and imagination, but soon he would find the answer.

The most painful way to kill people.

Was it because he was like this, did Yuan, the evil god, choose him?

‘But Elina is different from me. It’s shining.’

Elin had a hunch that Elina and his own thoughts were different.

Wouldn’t Elina be disappointed if she found out about me like that?

That was Elin’s concern.

‘I don’t want to be hated by Elina.’

Elina couldn’t bear the pain when she thought that she was being looked down upon with contempt.

In the old days, just like mom did.

“I am different from Elina. I can’t be nice like Elina. It can’t be like that.”

So, I couldn’t figure out the way.

They had to die to satisfy themselves.

However, at the same time, he did not want to reveal his evil inner side, which was the opposite of Elina.

Then, Leonhard said.

A word that would shake her life upside down.

.

.

.

“Go and act nice.”

I said while stroking Erin’s head.

This was an opportunity to lay the foundation for an achievement, and it was a word that would light the way for Elina.

Originally, Elin’s hypocrisy was to appease her loneliness.

It is to fill the heart with a hole that can never be filled with praise toward oneself.

However, Elin, who lived with Elina, did not have to feel that loneliness.

Then the hypocritical propensity could not and did not need to be filled.

But, the answer to that problem was here.

Besides, this was also for Elin.

While Elin’s negative emotions are filled with hypocrisy, Yuan won’t be able to use his strength.

“Pretending to be nice?”

Elin asked incredulously.

“okay. Go ahead and pretend to be nice. So I got a crush on Elina. It’s not just Elina. Let others like you too.”

I told Elina.

“I will make your heart come true. I can accept the hate.”

Tring!

[Elin is aware of her own orientation by you.

The acquisition of hypocritical tendencies begins.

Acquire 500pt Plot Points!]

“Why… are you doing that?”

Elin said.

As if he was receiving this kind of favor for the first time, he was staring at me in a state of fascination.

“…I wanted you to be happy.”

It’s not a lie.

What I want you to be happy is.

Elin, too, would not make her unhappy.

Such is the permanent peace I aim for.

Tring!

[Ellin’s favorability greatly increases. (Reason: new path)]

“thank you.”

Elin buried her face in my arms again and said.

.

.

.

When we returned to the room, Elina was still wandering without an answer.

Elin quietly walked over to Elina and sat down.

Then, holding Elina’s hands gently, she opened her mouth.

“Let’s not kill them. let’s just hold on They are evil people, but we must catch them and let them be punished.”

It was the first hypocrisy to begin with.

Elina, who was confused, widened her eyes as if she was startled by Elin’s words.

And the next moment, as if realizing it, he smiled a little.

“…Right. Elin is right. No matter how evil dwells in their hearts, they always need to be given an opportunity to repent.”

Elina said, putting strength into the hand that was holding Ellin’s.

“If it wasn’t for Elin-nim’s words, I would have forgotten about it. thanks.”

And Elina looked at me.

As if the answer had been decided.

“…just hold on to me.”

Of course, I didn’t mean to.

“no.”

Tring!

[Satisfied Elin’s hypocrisy. (1/1000)

Get 50 Plot Points!]

Elin, of course.

I know.

Elina intended to forgive them out of sincere goodness.

However, in the future, for Elina’s sake, they all had to disappear.

If even a little remnant remains, I don’t know how it will come back later.

So, I do.
