“How do I use this, wow!”
Trisha, who had just gotten out of the shower, touched an object in front of the dressing table and was covered in water and screamed.
This happened as soon as I pressed the button attached to the center.
She immediately started crying, her face drenched with water.
At first glance, it just looked like an iron rod, but I never would have guessed that it was something that spewed out water from the end.
“Wow, there are so many amazing things, but I need to know how to use them. I can’t come to my senses. Elijah, you…”
Trisha turned her head as she said that and immediately closed her mouth.
On that side was Elijah, casually drying his hair using a machine that emitted hot air.
“…How do you use that so well?”
“I thought I just figured it out.”
“You just know?”
When Trisha responded with a dumbfounded expression, Elijah nodded expressionlessly.
“huh.”
“…”
That’s strange.
The Elijah that Trisha remembers was a man who had a darker view of the world than she thought.
I heard that I was raised in a monastery from a young age, but sometimes I felt it was a bit harsh.
By the way, what is Elijah like now?
‘Originally, at this point, it’s normal to say things like Trisha, help me~…’
Trisha tilted her head thinking that.
Even she, who is said by her friends to have the strongest living skills, is casually using things that are not suitable for her.
It looked so natural that anyone would believe that he grew up with these items from the beginning.
‘It’s been a little strange lately, hasn’t it…?’
I’ve always heard of a friend who is quick-witted and kind-hearted, but the ‘learning ability’ that Elijah has recently shown seems to go beyond that category.
Lately, it seems like you can figure out anything by looking at it. I feel like my ‘understanding’ and ‘insight’ have increased tremendously.
Even more so when I think of the way he was sobbing that he couldn’t read even if the sentence was just a little bit long.
As if he had acquired some special ability.
“…”
But, despite that appearance.
Elijah’s current state was such that Trisha couldn’t leave him alone.
‘It seemed a little better…’
Not long ago, I shared a lunch box with my teacher, and I remember jumping up and down because he seemed to like it too.
But just recently, after a friendly sparring, he went out to receive a commendation, and when he came back, he just kept thinking about something with such a deadpan expression.
Just today, there was an important event being held for students with excellent grades, such as Hunter’s Night, but he seemed completely uninterested and did not participate.
“…Shouldn’t you worry about your grades?”
“I did well in the friendly sparring, so I can skip hunting night or something for a day.”
“…Then you will lose money in the Seonghwangguk joint practice next semester? “They also cut it in order of grades, right?”
“Let’s think about it later.”
“…”
It’s irresponsible.
Judging by the color of his heart, it was fortunate that he didn’t look that depressed, but even so, compared to the previous situation where it was completely pink, it was definitely not a good look.
Originally, Elijah had a tendency to get overly excited when he got involved with that man, but wasn’t this emotional fallout a bit severe?
Finally, Trisha sighed and opened her mouth.
“Is there something else that’s not working out?”
“…uh? huh? “No, no, no.”
“…”
Trisha sighed heavily.
“Elijah.”
“…huh?”
“Do you feel burdened by my help and get angry when I refuse?”
“…”
“I do it because I want to. It’s not because someone else told me to do it. okay?”
“…No, that’s right.”
Elijah pursed his lips.
“I’m sorry. Every time I consult Trisha about teacher issues. “It seems like a nuisance.”
“are you okay. Especially if it’s that person’s problem.”
“…huh? What are you talking about?”
“…Because I’m also an unpredictable person. “I’m personally interested.”
For her, a person whose specialty is human observation, there aren’t many people that are that strange.
Since I’m involved with Elijah, I have the feeling that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to research it on the side.
‘…It’s so faint that I can’t see it clearly.’
It’s not an extreme case like Feinol where you can’t see color at all, but Daoud never shows enough emotion to clearly tell you what this person is thinking.
Even though there are a lot of women around him who treat him favorably, there is almost no light of ‘likability’ coming from his heart.
It’s like.
“…It seems like he is suppressing his feelings.”
“uh? what?”
“Oh, no. Nothing.”
When Elijah’s eyes widened at the words he had unknowingly spilled, Trisha shook her head.
What is there to say about that man’s condition?
“No, please tell me in more detail. “You’re suppressing your feelings on purpose?”
However, Elijah seemed to have already become absorbed in the topic, so he stopped combing his hair and pulled the chair closer to her.
“…Uh, um…”
Because of that firm attitude, Trisha eventually continued to explain with her cheeks trembling.
It was valid that he didn’t want to talk about his abilities. If you reveal that you have this ability, it is natural that you will not be looked upon favorably.
So, try to speak as loosely as possible.
“No, I just think he thinks he’ll be in big trouble if he reveals that he has a crush on someone. “If you see what I’m doing.”
“Trisha thinks so too?!”
“…”
What does this violent reaction mean?
It’s as if this was the worry I was thinking about dying until a while ago.
“It’s just… that’s what happened.”
Elijah frowned as he said that.
“I feel a little… ‘sensitive’ to things around me these days, Tricia. I don’t even know what the trigger was. “That’s just the way it is.”
“…”
This is exactly what Trisha felt while watching Elijah these days.
I guess you knew best.
“And there is one thing that feels very good in that way.”
Elijah paused for a moment.
As if I didn’t have any memories that were that terrible.
“There is something inside Princess Tristan’s body. “That’s for sure.”
“…there is one? what?”
“There’s something to do with you, teacher. “Every time the teacher hooks up with another girl, something big explodes.”
clearly.
Somehow, the sense that something was ‘twisted’ still remains.
There was a big incident that made me feel strange that I was sitting and talking inside the academy without any problems.
I don’t remember, but the feeling that it exploded when Daoud and another woman became ‘intertwined’ is clearly engraved in my body.
“…Is there such a thing?”
“huh. surely.”
That is why.
“Then it’s a big deal.”
“Big deal? why?”
“No, he’s with another woman right now. “They said they seemed a bit close to each other.”
“who? “Can’t it be just one or two people?”
“…”
From what he says, it seems like Elijah is slowly starting to realize that that person is trash.
As a friend, should I stop him from accepting this naturally, or should I just give up?
Trisha, who remembered that thought, sighed and continued.
“I heard about it from other kids earlier. Talion and this guy named Liru got on a boat and went out to sea in this weather.”
“Is it because of the night of the hunter or something? But that’s not a big deal, right?”
“No, I heard that Princess Tristan was seen briefly nearby.”
Elijah sighed and took a deep breath.
Of course, it’s unlikely that Elnor really decided to go after him. If that had been the case, it would have exploded long ago.
It would probably make sense for him to be nearby to do something other than Daoud-related business.
‘Nothing good will happen if you just bump into each other…!’
It is natural that you should at least give them a tip or a warning.
“I’m going to go get help!”
“help? To whom?”
“I have a trustworthy friend!”
After saying that, Elijah quickly left the room.

“…”
On the stormy terrace, Yuria looked down at her arm, fiddling with the cutter in silence.
This white stem starts from the fingertips and slowly starts to come down. This indicator, which showed that the severer was eroding him, had finally come down to near his wrist.
I don’t need to show it because it’s obvious that if I reveal that I came down here, my sister, who is always watching from next to me, will be sad.
‘…It’s not that far left.’
As someone who has had this sword for a long time, I feel it instinctively.
Fingertips. wrist. cuffs. The next moment is when a curse spreads upwards through the body and reaches the heart.
He said he couldn’t be in this world like he is now, as Yuria Greyhound.
It will turn into ‘something’ that cannot possibly be called that.
And, if you look at it.
She also couldn’t help but think of what the man named Feynol who had just come to see her had said.
-You can never stop it if you just leave it alone.
The woman who referred to herself and Yuria as ‘the same kind’ clearly said so.
-You may simply think that it is a curse coming from the sword, but the Inquisition’s opinion is slightly different.
Heresy Inquisition.
A special executive agency of the empire that operates in a separate system from the Holy Imperial State.
It is the only group in the world founded under the grand ideology of confronting the ‘devil.’
It was also an omnipotent extralegal body with few people, even within the imperial family, putting a brake on its actions.
Even though they were the ones who verbally abused her sister, they were people with such power that Yuria had no choice but to sit down and listen to their story.
-… Our opinions are different. What does that mean?
-It’s not just a curse. It is no coincidence that this woman, who is second only to the Pope in terms of her sexual power, is making no progress at all even though she is sincerely clinging to her every day and consecrating it.
Expressionlessly.
It’s as if it’s a natural fact that even humans with the strongest sexual power among humans can’t handle it.
-Your curse… is an ancient curse with an additional ‘something’ in it. To improve it, one more method is needed.
Feinol continued to say that.
-If you don’t monopolize the guy, you die. Yuria Greyhauncher.
-…A monopoly?
-That man… It’s difficult to tell right now, but he has an ability that is close to a special potion against the ‘being’ sleeping in your sword. The Heresy Inquisition is also very interested in that man’s personality.
Feynol, smiling brightly, continued saying that.
To Yuria, the smile felt like the sweetness of a mousetrap.
-To put it simply, the Inquisition wants to push you to ‘test’ those abilities. So that I can monopolize that man. Of all the objects nearby, you seem the most suited to observe such things.
-…I’m pushing you.
Daoud said that only he is the truest relationship. He even left a token of promise.
Feinol’s words came to me while I was touching the back of my neck while thinking like that.
It still remains clearly in my brain.
-Do you really think so?
-…
-Are there so many attractive women around that man?
-…
To Yuria, who was stiff.
Feinol continued speaking.
-If you are sure, I won’t stop you. If you need any help, please contact us at any time.
-…
-I’ll be waiting.
Yuria caressed the pendant that Feinol left behind with a depressed expression.
‘…no.’
Daoud is not one to fool himself.
No, it has to be that way.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to endure it at all.
“Yuria!”
As I was pondering that thought, the door suddenly opened.
It was Elijah, out of breath.
“Uh, are you here to look for your sister? “It’s regular service time, so I’ll be at the cathedral…”
“I came to see you, not the saint!”
“…”
uh.
self?
Not your sister?
I don’t know if it was my childhood before I got cut off, but all I remember is that I spent it alone. This is almost the first time something like this has happened.
“Uh, I’m sorry. For some reason, you came all the way here looking for something like me-”
“This is not the time to say such things. “We have something to do together!”
“…”
Something to do.
Originally, I would have appropriately declined.
No matter how much she wears the Star Iron Circlet, she is currently carrying one of the most powerful curses in human history. If she drives too fast, an accident may occur.
Moreover, didn’t we just hear from Feinol that this was a combination of powerful beings that even her sister, a saint, could not control?
“Why are you saying that? “We’re friends!”
“…”
Maybe it would have been the same even if Elijah hadn’t said this.
‘Chi, buddy?’
Is it okay to spit out such brilliant words so easily?
Yuria was very embarrassed and continued to stutter.
“Woah, was there something like a decisive event that could be called that?”
Her interpersonal relationships are approx.
1. Family – older sister
2. The most precious person – Daoud
3. People I am thankful for – Sir Ophelia, who lent me the facilities, and the President of Atalanta, who accepted me into Elfante.
…It’s the pinnacle of minimalism where everything can be organized to that extent.
But, how can you be a friend to someone who compresses all human relationships into one finger?
It’s so… so…
“…Chi, friend. yes. “Uh, hmm.”
It was a word too sweet to refuse.
“Well, if we’re going to do something together, what…?”
“Let’s go save the teacher together!”
Yuria paused after hearing those words.
I have to go rescue him. What kind of crisis is he facing now?
“Right now, that person is with someone named Riru Garda, and if the student council president nearby sees it, it could be a big problem-”
Perhaps we can’t fault Elijah for choosing Yuria.
At least the Yuria she saw was the most skilled person she knew, and although she didn’t know if it was intentional, she seemed quiet and seemed to get along well with Dowd.
but.
What she couldn’t decide.
“That guy named Liru Garda.”
It is said that she did not realize ‘how good’ her relationship with Daoud was.
“Are you a woman?”
“…”
“Are you a woman?”
“…”
“It’s a woman. “Look at the reaction.”
“…”
“is it so. Let’s go first. “Where is he now?”
what.
The intention was clearly to tip off Daoud so that he would not be caught by Elnor and killed.
What does this cold reaction mean?
‘…I feel like I was trying to avoid an uncertain land mine and ended up with a certain land mine?’
That must have been a more accurate monologue than Elijah himself thought.
