As soon as I finished speaking, a system window appeared in front of my eyes.
< System Message >
[ A crisis situation is detected. ]
[It is judged to be a direct threat to life. ]
[‘Skill: Desperate Death’ is applied as EX grade. ]
And, fittingly, as soon as he heard my words, there was nothing in front of him.
He is frighteningly motionless, as if he has forgotten even to breathe.
“…Master, huh? I don’t need it…? uh…?”
The guy muttered that as if the whole world had collapsed.
The color is gradually draining from those eyes.
< System Message >
[The corruption level of the target ‘Seras’ is skyrocketing! ]
[ We will definitely enter a runaway state soon! ]
“Master, isn’t it my master…?”
“…”
really.
I just gave a warning to guests not to come near, but it’s really annoying to see my mentality being shattered to such an extent.
Of course, still.
“okay. “Do not approach within 5 meters.”
If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.
If I don’t draw this line, it’s clear that this guy will really stick to me all day and cause all kinds of accidents.
“instead.”
Of course, as I just said, the moment you push it away, the corruption level explodes, so you shouldn’t do it without taking any action.
Add a word.
“Do not stray further than 10 meters.”
“…”
Seras, or more precisely the purple demon, had an expression filled with confusion.
< System Message >
[The target’s corruption level decreases drastically! ]
Anyway, since it’s clear that it’s an order and not ‘throw away’, the guy’s expression brightens slightly. The corruption level also drops.
But, we can’t end here.
“And, don’t ever think about meeting me every day.”
< System Message >
[The corruption level of the target ‘Seras’ is skyrocketing! ]
“Instead, I will definitely play with you one day a week.”
< System Message >
[The target’s corruption level decreases drastically! ]
“And when you meet me one day…”
Every time he continues talking like that, this guy’s corruption level soars and then subsides again and again.
It all rises when I try to push it away, and subsides when I try to keep it close.
[…What are you saying? Are you telling me not to do this or that?]
‘I’m trying to control my sense of distance.’
I told you this before I came here.
When dealing with purple demons, distance control is key.
In fact, they are openly saying that they will manage it from a distance, but it is okay to lay out all these facts.
“Instead, if you follow orders well.”
Rather than just blindly telling people to follow orders.
The key is to ‘tame’ this guy to suit me.
You can approach it as if you were raising a dangerous pet, where if you fail even once, your life will be at risk.
It’s an impossible approach for other demons, but it works for this guy.
“I’ll give you a reward.”
“…award?”
“I will make the distance gradually become closer. I’ll let you sleep a little less. “I will gradually increase the amount of time we spend playing.”
While saying that, I patted the head of Seras, who was sitting on top of me.
The guy’s face, which was filled with a confused expression after hearing the series of words just a moment ago, melts into a bright smile as he pats his head.
Just receiving attention like this is a feeling of happiness that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
‘…the devil is inseparable from the vessel.’
I am reminded again of the theory I developed before.
I got half-convinced from the relationship between the Blue Devil and Liru.
The devil is influenced by ‘vessels’ more than you think.
so.
“And, above all. “If you listen to me carefully.”
What I’m saying to this guy now is:
It is also a message addressed to both the Purple Demon and Seras at the same time.
“I will never abandon you.”
“…”
The guy’s face, which had been smiling brightly, hardened.
The smile slowly disappears, and then he looks down at me with his eyes narrowed.
In that state, it remains silent for a while.
These words I just brought up.
This sentence is in line with the reason why this guy struggles to find someone to ‘obey’.
Additionally, Seras’ past.
“…Is this a promise, master?”
The guy who had been silent for a while soon opened his mouth hesitatingly.
This is unusual for a guy who has always seemed distracted no matter what he says.
“uh.”
“Are you going to stay with me and the bowl, and not abandon us both?”
“uh.”
“Until the end, no matter what happens?”
“No matter what happens.”
I had just declared that I would be living with all six demons.
But how can you achieve something like that if you can’t handle something like a large dog that causes accidents and attacks?
“…”
Of course, the scale of accidents and assaults is a bit enormous.
Anyway, I am a person who keeps what I say. I also meant it when I said I would cover it, including this guy.
“then.”
So, I gave you a firm answer with those thoughts in mind.
Seras, or more precisely, the purple demon controlling this guy, nodded.
“I’ll listen too.”
With those words, he smiles brightly and holds out his ring finger to me.
“Hang your thumb and index finger, promise. got it?”
“…”
For a devil, this is a very gentle request.
But, it’s not like you can’t understand this guy when he looks like a toddler.
The devil’s sculpture also serves as a symbol of the ‘lack’ that the vessel suppresses and rejects.
This ‘active child’ is said to symbolize what Seras never had.
“…”
With that thought in mind, I put my thumb and index finger on it, and the guy immediately started laughing again.
“Then, master.”
With those words.
“See you later.”
Seras’ body fell on top of me as if a thread had been cut.
It is clear that the demon that was moving the body has retreated back into the world of images.
“…Haaa…”
I take a deep sigh.
One piece of good news.
Dowd Campbell survives today.
●
First of all, the conclusion.
At least it was a success in that it didn’t split in half again.
[…But, are you okay?]
“yes?”
[No, there are promises you made earlier. Is that okay?]
“…Oh, that’s it.”
If I were to summarize the promises I made with the Purple Devil in one sentence.
I will be stalked for most of the day by the best assassin on the continent from a certain distance away.
There are all kinds of other things, but if you think of the ones that stand out right away, that’s about it.
“…”
okay.
That’s right.
“It’s worth it.”
[Where?!]
“Anyway, even if he doesn’t do that, I think other vessels will try it at some point, right?”
[…]
Even Caliban closed his mouth in agreement with what I said.
[…There is a separate devil of obsession, but this one is more chaotic.]
“He’s just a little too obsessed, but he’s not completely ignorant.”
Of course, even the White Devil is not safe.
The moment the pieces come together and I show my bare face, a major, uncontrollable accident occurs.
Of course, even so, I agree that the purple demon is the only one that causes people this much suffering when there is only one piece.
And while I was walking down the hallway thinking that.
“…”
My head is spinning.
I stumble without realizing it and barely regain my balance by holding on to the wall.
Cold sweat pours out. My vision is also slightly blurred.
[…hey. Are you okay?]
“…Yeah, whatever.”
For a moment, I was shocked and checked my body through the status window, but it wasn’t that Tacheon’s seal was wrong or that something was broken.
But, what is it?
Why do I suddenly have these symptoms?
[…How much rest have you had these days?]
“…”
ah.
yes.
I couldn’t sleep and was just running around doing work.
For a long period of time, including the period of stay in the furnace of struggle, I could barely rest for a moment.
‘I have to study, manage the demons, awaken the Feynol emotions, and organize the events that follow when the emperor visits the academy…’
Just to list it all out, it’s enormous.
This is an unavoidable problem that arises because there are more than one or two events that need to be prepared together.
Things are going on at the same time, and in order to get the best results, not one thing should be done carelessly.
And the variable of being a pioneer must always be taken into consideration.
[It’s not okay to think like that, you guy.]
Caliban clicked his tongue and said those words.
[You have to deal with what you can, one by one. It doesn’t work if you handle it that way. My body just feels weak.]
“…Why are you even giving constructive advice?”
[You are in a dangerous situation these days. I seem to be more careful, especially since I fell while walking a tightrope the other day.]
“…”
That’s… right.
I also proved that I am not a person who always does everything perfectly, when I broke myself in half before.
the problem is.
“…If I make a mistake, someone else could die.”
I have already experienced this several times, with the main scenario constantly derailing like a runaway locomotive out of control.
It is also clear that I am the cause.
That is, in my current situation.
If I make a mistake, I am not the only one who suffers. Because of an unexpected event that happened because of me, other people may be swept away.
The most important thing among them all.
“…Elnor is the most important.”
I say those words with a sigh.
There is no doubt that the Forerunner is targeting that area most persistently.
So, I have various plans prepared in that regard…
“…I want to see you at least once.”
The problem is that they don’t even want to meet me there.
I wanted to talk to him at least once through various routes, but he stubbornly pushed me away, so I still haven’t seen his face.
We haven’t even seen each other once since we parted ways in the furnace of struggle.
“There’s something I really want to tell you, but I’m having a really hard time these days…”
I mumble those words helplessly and push myself away from the wall.
I did this because the severe dizziness and dizziness that I had been experiencing disappeared.
As soon as you do something like that, you realize it right away.
Ah, this.
It’s not that I’ve recovered, it’s just that my body regained strength for a moment because I was on the verge of collapsing.
Like a flashlight.
[Uh, hey, yum?!]
I heard Caliban’s voice, but I couldn’t control my body.
The head falls straight to the floor.
“…Daoud? Daoud! Look, girl!”
at that time.
A familiar voice is faintly heard.
Likewise, beyond my blurred vision, I can also see hair of a somewhat familiar color.
“…”
what.
This is Elnor.
The timing of it coming out is a bit odd. It’s as if it’s nearby and pops out as soon as I fall.
Did you even hear a conversation?
I guess he seemed a bit crazy talking to Caliban.
No, didn’t you make a mistake?
Such thoughts pass through my dazed head one after another.
< System Message >
[Subject ‘Elnor’s’ guilt increases-]
Before I could even read all of the messages that came out of nowhere.
My vision went dark.
