Chapter 162 – 162. Lemon flavor
From Violen, the Bright family territory located in the southern part of the Griffin Kingdom, to the Clark Republic beyond the northern part.
If you ask how Deius Verdi was able to return via warp in an instant, the number one contributor is undoubtedly his fiancée.
It was Erica Bright.
“Wow, this is tough.”
The Xeronia family had already left, and Deia’s insistence forced them to stay in Violen for a few more days.
She sits down on the railing of a nearby flower bed and smiles as if to express her hardships so far.
“What is this situation, Deia?”
I frowned and glared at her in an inexplicable sense of discomfort, but Deia immediately shifted the blame with an exaggerated chin gesture.
“This is what your soon-to-be wife asked you to do. “I just followed because I’m a good sister-in-law.”
Erica, who had created a golden pillar of light, was standing where Deia pointed.
She had a satisfied smile on her face as she made sure it was made properly.
“Thanks to you, the Bright family must have been very scared of us, right? “I heard you did a good job investigating it.”
I had the urge to hit Deia on the head as she shrugged, saying that Darius would never have done something like this.
I was wondering why all of a sudden the eldest and second sons of the Bright family, starting with Elan, the head of the family, were paying attention to Deia. Was there a secret story like this?
“Anyway, I only helped. It was my step-sister who contacted the royal family and deceived them.”
“It looks like we’ve become quite friendly.”
When I saw that he called himself his sister-in-law and Erica as his step-sister, I wondered if he acknowledged Erica in his own way.
Deia looks at Erica with a bitter smile.
“Because she gave up on you to be close to you. “I admit it’s wise.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know what choice you will make, but if you are going to break up, do it as gently as possible.”
After saying that, Deia crossed her legs and turned her gaze to the pillar of light that was rudely ruining the Bright family garden.
It is a sight that is engraved in my eyes as it is quite a rare sight.
Seeing Deia’s appearance as if she wasn’t going to talk anymore, I sighed and turned to Erica.
When she sensed me approaching, a smile appeared on her lips.
“I contacted the royal family. If you use this, you will go straight to the Clark Republic’s first concentration camp.”
“Erica.”
He calls her out, but Erica pretends not to hear and continues talking.
“It’s a good thing Eleanor and Aria made the first move. “I think the two of you at the academy noticed that you were acting strange and that Findeneye had disappeared, so they took action in advance.”
Are those two people involved too?
I clearly told them to stay quiet, but I felt like no one was listening to me.
“Erica.”
“If you go there, Finden Eye will be there. Go and get the maid who ran away carelessly.”
“Erica.”
“… … .”
In the end, Erica, unable to ignore my call, takes a deep breath and raises her head.
“Yes, Deius.”
“I never wanted this.”
“know.”
Although I gave a simple answer, it is an answer that cannot be taken lightly at all.
“But you needed it.”
“… … .”
When I slowly turn my eyes to look up at the golden pillar without saying a word, Erica turns her head as well.
“Isn’t it amazing? I tried mixing the magic judges’ warp with my specialty, light magic. Thanks to this, we can move much faster and safer.”
“A large amount of mana would have been needed to open the passage here as well.”
“Even though the idiots in our family are stupid, their mana amount is one of the best in the kingdom.”
In the end, as I stared with my mouth shut, Erica slowly approached me.
“It’s a gift that your fiancee worked hard to make? Are you really not going to take it?”
“Why are you doing this?”
Erica smiles bitterly at my question, but tries to hide that expression.
“Because I love you?”
“… … .”
“That’s why I’m sending it to you. “Because I can’t fill Findenai’s void right now.”
“after.”
Taking a deep breath, I lower my gaze for a moment and look at my feet.
Clearly my mind was telling me to take this and go see her.
But it bothered me that I was leaving this woman in front of me.
Did he know how I felt?
Tuk.
Erica grabs my collar and pulls me gently.
It wasn’t a big deal, but my relaxed upper body naturally leaned forward.
My gaze fell on the ground and I saw Erica’s heel lifted.
Lips gently overlap each other. Her pillar of light has surrounded her and me like her lighting, creating her static atmosphere.
The scent of lemon gently tickles my nose.
She parted her lips and carefully opened her eyes and looked at me.
Erica smiled as if she was pledging not to cry, but instead, it seemed more bitter.
“You have to struggle.”

Before I knew it, her raised hand was placed on my chest.
“May this moment remain in your heart.”
Saying that, Erica pushes me into the pillar of light.
I was also surprised because it was an embarrassing situation, and Deia was shouting something from afar.
Immediately, I was sucked into the light and the scenery began to change.
[Wow! Where are you going!]
At that time, the dark spirit’s voice rang in my ears. I hadn’t seen him lately, so I wondered where he was, but before I knew it, he was clinging to my shoulder.
Thinking that we could have a conversation like this even while being warped, I asked calmly.
“Where have you been all this time?”
[…] … I did something like self-discovery. Was the kiss better than that?]
“… … .”
[Are you not going to answer?]
“If you know, don’t ask.”
[Chi, I’ve never done that before in my life.]
Even though he was grumbling, the dark spirit leaned closer to me as if he didn’t want to let go.
But there is one thing that bothers me.
“When you were alive?”
So you’re saying that you tried it after you died?
[…] … .]
The dark spirit closed his mouth as if puffing out his cheeks. The moment you feel that you have received intrusive information.
[Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
[Please save me!]
[sorry! sorry! sorry!]
[It’s hell! This is hell!]
[President! Curse you! President! I curse you!]
The republic has arrived before we know it.
As if welcoming us, the cries of sorrowful souls greeted us passionately.
The cold of the Republic, the Magic Judges and Eleanor surrounding them, and Arias secretly hiding behind Tyrun’s back.
Nothing catches my eye.
I sigh involuntarily as I see the screams of souls that are so violent that their ears pierce and the souls that surround the earth and sky.
“How can it be so noisy?”
It was my first time seeing such a sight.
What was floating across the sky far away was not a cloud but a dead person.
I thought the color of the earth had faded, but those were also spirits.
This is truly a place where there are no dead people.
A land where human lives are treated no different from machine parts.
It was the Clark Republic.
[Let me help you.]
The dark spirit, seeing the same sight and hearing the same things as me, shakes his head and gathers mana.
Thanks to this, the screams that pierce my ears and disrupt everything around me become quiet and subside.
“hey! “I said I wouldn’t call the professor!”
“Quiet!”
Aria’s grumbling voice is heard as she approaches Eleanor while hiding behind Tyrn.
When my gaze falls on the two girls, they flinch and immediately seem at a loss.
“ha.”
In the end, all I could do was sigh deeply.
He ignored my words to stay still, but in the end he acted for me.
I couldn’t just criticize.
“It’s over there.”
Eleanor gently gestures.
At the end, there was Findeneye, lying covered in blood in front of the building’s huge door.
The fact that her clothes were literally soaked in blood showed that she had fought to the limit, but looking at the empty bottles rolling around, it seemed like the danger to her life had passed.
Also, before I knew it, my steps were heading towards her.
Calm yet heavy steps.
When I looked down at her, who was leaning against me, Findenai slightly raised her head and greeted me.
“Hello, Deius.”
“… … .”
“Why did you come to such a squalid place?”
Findeneye asked while breathing heavily. Why did you come?
“If you want to help me, go back. “Because this is what I have to do.”
A word from Finden Eye that coldly pushes me away.
I know you’re saying this because you’re worried that I might be involved in an incident on the Republic side.
Her voice couldn’t reach me.
Why did I come?
That question is just spinning wildly in my head.
I was pushed back by Erica and Deia, and now that I actually saw Findenai, I realized that I hadn’t been my usual self while she was gone.
I couldn’t come up with a proper answer to Findeneye’s question.
“I’m here to arrest you.”
So that was the answer I gave without knowing. Because even I couldn’t clearly define why I came to find Findeneye.
“uh?”
Even Findenai opened her mouth with an expression that showed she wasn’t expecting this answer from me, and a subtle sigh could be heard from behind.
But the words have already been spoken.
Like an excuse, I add flesh to bare-bones words.
“I hold the position of the only warlock of the Griffin Kingdom and the memorial messenger chosen by His Majesty.”
“… … .”
“They drugged me and sexually harassed me. “You could call it a serious crime.”
Then the voices of two girls echoed from behind.
“Sexual harassment? That thing is really crazy! “I saved you for no reason!”
“What did you do to Deius? “What did you do?”
As Aria and Eleanor argued, even Findeneye responded while scratching the back of her head with a puzzled expression.
“I didn’t eat it?”
I don’t know how the vocabulary doesn’t change.
“If you did, you would already be dead! professor! “Can I ask if I can be allowed to become a hero for just 5 minutes?!”
“Tayrn! Put that thing to death! “Execute him immediately!”
Tyrn Ol’ Bellokus calms down the two girls who are running towards here while fighting.
anyway.
I declared, looking down at Findeneye.
“Findeneye, I’m arresting you. “Let’s go to Griffin together.”
“… … Fuha!”
Findeneye burst out laughing at the absurdity, cupped her face with both hands, and let out a deep breath.
“There are my accomplices in here.”
Finden Eye gently gestures with his hand toward the inside of the building he is standing with his back to me.
“Take them away too.”
Indeed.
“Of course.”
He lowers his hand covering his face at my words. There was a bright smile on his face as usual.
“Before I was arrested, can I wash a cigarette? “It’s a mast.”
When I nodded and said that it didn’t really matter, Findeneye took the tobacco I gave her that was rolling on the floor and put it in her mouth.
Findeneye wakes up, groaning in pain, and peeks out her head.
“fire.”
“… … .”
It was really annoying to be asked so shamelessly, but anyway, I lit a fire in my fingertips and put it on the end of the year.
“Whoa.”
Findeneye spit out thick smoke, gasped a few times as if something was strange, and sucked on the tobacco again.
“Hmm.”
“Is there something wrong?”
Findeneye scratches his head and says it’s strange. In response to my question, she nodded her head and threw her tobacco on the floor.
“It’s not very good.”
“… … ?”
I think he liked it because he said it tasted good.
A moment filled with such questions.
The smoke and scent of the beginning of the year fills your mouth. And an animal-like tongue digging in between them.
Before I knew it, Finden Eye, who had his arms wrapped around my neck, was rushing towards me and lusting after my lips.
From behind, Aria and Eleanor’s inaudible screams rang out.
“Puh-ha.”
Findeneye, who parted his lips but was still hanging on my neck, said with a grin.
“Yes, this was the most painful.”
Findeneye, smiling brighter than ever, was right in front of me.
“But why does it taste like lemon differently than last time?”
“… … .”
