5 – Fiancee Zera – 1

Crack, crack.

Black flame covered the space, countless hungry ghosts were reduced to ashes by the black flame storm caused by the three-legged crow.

These were the words of a monster who had committed the sin of greed and was forever greedy.

“This is crazy.”

I was truly dumbfounded as I looked at the devastation the three-legged crow had created.

No matter how brilliant it was, I had no idea it was capable of such crazy attacks.

In the novel, the three-legged crow sentence written by the author was nothing more than an understatement.

At this level, you can easily defeat most monsters.

“Caw.”

It lands on my head again, its black feathers fluttering.

The anglerfish must have thought it was nothing, as it opened its beak and yawned lazily.

” cute. “

Maybe it was because my head had turned in those few days, or maybe it was because I just saw those disgusting anglers, but I found them so cute that I smiled.

In the novel, he was so obnoxious that I wanted to kill him, but as an ally, he turned out to be quite smart and dependable.

Compared to other youkai that do not have much intelligence, the three-legged monster was more likeable because it had intelligence similar to that of a human.

He is also the first shikigami.

Although he is now corrupted and his intelligence has decreased, if he regains his original power, he will become a divine beast worthy of his reputation as a bird sage.

I have to support him hard, and feed him Sunstone at the right time.

” by the way… “

I was wondering if there was anything I could salvage, so I walked towards the place where the three-legged crow had burned everything.

By-products and fragments of monsters often contained negative energy, and by-products filled with negative energy were highly valuable from a magical aspect.

But.

“I burned everything.”

However, when I actually checked, I found that the monkfish’s by-products were nowhere to be found because he had burned everything.

At best, it’s just a piece of worn-out clothing.

“I have to pick this up first.”

He picks up the piece of clothing that Agui dropped and puts it in his pocket.

It may be useful in making a talisman later or in making a contract with a new food spirit.

” by the way… “

After gathering all my loot, a thought occurred to me.

“How can I get back to work?”

Come to think of it, it’s already been two days since I came here.

It is said that Falling Out is briefly mentioned in the novel, but it is only a literal mention.

There is no detailed explanation, so I have no idea if there are other monsters living here other than the three-legged crow.

If there is a youkai that even you can’t handle, it’s dangerous to stay any longer.

There was even no food or drinking water.

“Caw.”

At that time, the guy on top of my head suddenly grabbed the necklace with his beak and lifted it up.

“This is not possible.”

“Caw!”

Come to think of it, I heard that crows like shiny objects.

No matter how intelligent the three-legged crow was, he couldn’t seem to overcome his instincts.

I feel like giving you a necklace like this right away.

It was something that could not be given carelessly because it was closely related to the only secret that would allow one to return to the original world.

“This really doesn’t work. I’ll give you something new later, so just stay still!”

“Cow!”

Then, as if he was frustrated, he let out a loud scream, then suddenly came down from the top of his head and snatched the pumpkin attached to the necklace.

“What is this?”

Perfect!

The guy excitedly grabbed the pumpkin and pressed it hard with his beak.

“Hey, you crazy!”

I hurriedly reached out to take the pumpkin out of its beak.

My hands never touched the pumpkin.

Saaa.

Light leaked out from the pumpkin he was holding in his mouth, filling the three-legged crow’s entire mouth, and the light didn’t stop there, but began to leak out and surround him and me.

And just like that, I was enveloped in a swarm of light and began to lose consciousness.

But as my consciousness suddenly began to fade, the three-legged crow made a strange expression towards me.

That expression is like…

It seemed as if he was saying, “You idiot, you don’t know anything.”

“Such a dog.”

As I watched him look at me pitifully, I lost consciousness in my fading consciousness.

*******

“Is this the end of Shikigami?”

Two days have passed since I returned from Fall Valley.

In the meantime, I summoned and contracted new food spirits using the by-products of the hungry ghosts I obtained from Falling Valley, and now I have become a full-fledged food spirit magician who is raising as many as three food spirits.

“Sigh.”

As I stretched loudly, I heard a sound that I shouldn’t have heard from my waist, but…what is it?

I was so thrilled that I could now protect my own body.

I raised my head and looked out the window, and before I knew it, flowers had started to bloom.

The cold winter had passed and spring was coming.

“Now…is it a week?”

From noble mtl dot com

There is only one week left until the original work.

The academy has slowly entered its break period, and students are busy preparing for the new semester.

Some students are preparing for a party.

Some students packed their bags to return home.

Of course, this doesn’t apply to me at all.

“It’s a lost song…”

Fluffy.

I roll the pumpkin at the end of the necklace around in my hands and remember what happened two days ago.

Apparently, I spent two days in Nakgogok, but when I returned to reality, only two hours had passed.

It seemed that the time in Falling Away and the real world were clearly different.

“It’s not even the room of time and mind.”

If it’s for training purposes, it could be a pretty good place, but…

Since I still haven’t figured out how pumpkins work, I didn’t want to risk my life.

at that time.

“Crack, crack.”

The guys watching me from the side and tilting their heads.

When I turn my head to look at them, only then do they open their mouths and start panting.

The name of the dogs that take the form of dogs, but whose only form is bones, is bone dogs.

It was a food god that succeeded in making a new contract using the by-product of the hungry ghost, and unlike the three-legged crow, it was a food god that made a complete contract, so no separate magic was needed.

“There are a total of three shikigami contracted through this.”

“Grumbling…”

I scratch their chins with my hands at the same time and think about what lies ahead.

As I thought before, I will be entering Orphea Academy in just one week.

Not only Orphee, but also a childhood friend who has been close to Orphee since childhood also enters the school.

“How do you see your face?”

The grief pouring out from deep inside is transformed into small laments and uttered.

Harvey, who was a brat by nature, bullied Orphée persistently from a young age.

Abuse and outrageous language are standard, and they even insult and hurt Orphée’s mother.

Even villains in hero movies do crazy things that make you laugh.

” driving me crazy. “

Of course, every time Orphee’s childhood friend, Lar, stood in Harvey’s way and protected Orphée.

From then on, Lar exudes the scent of a royal wife and takes the position of a royal wife.

the problem is.

“I mean, I even grabbed him..”

Harvey, who was a real asshole, was as if Orphero wasn’t enough and even messed with Lars.

Hand stabbing, verbal abuse, and even hiring people to attack Lar.

Of course, Orphee came to the rescue every time…

I’m not sure what Orphee, who is kind-hearted by nature, thinks about me, but Lars, who was bullied so much by Harvey, pathologically hates him.

In the novel, after Harvey died, he approached the grieving Orphée and gave him cold advice, saying that Harvey deserved to die.

My head started to hurt as I thought about Lar running towards me with his sword drawn as soon as we met him.

Of course, I’m acting like a b*tch to avoid the route of getting killed, but…

“First of all, changing the perception is wrong.”

If you ask anyone who attends Norrington Academy, “What do you think of Harvey?”, a magic missile will immediately fly at you.

Harvey was a public enemy at Norrington Academy.

The situation has already been firmly stigmatized.

In a situation like this, my perception doesn’t change at all whether I try my best or put on a f*cking show of sh*t.

Because my perception of them is already assholes.

“..Then there is one conclusion.”

Living quietly.

They avoid the route where they are killed and stay together at the end of the novel.

This route was the best I could do right now.

” ha… “

While I was half-sitting on a chair, just shaking my neck, I was thinking deeply.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

“Who are you?”

“..Zera wants to meet you.”

“…”

Is that event already?

Before Orphée and Lar enter school, Harvey is asked to break off the engagement by his fiancee, Zera.

Naturally, Harvey was outraged and furious, but the divorce certificate had already been stamped with the seal of the head of the Arthur family.

Harvey has no choice but to sign the divorce papers.

Here, our Harvey goes from being a bit of a b*tch to being a real crazy person.

The breakup of the engagement was such a huge shock to Harvey that even if he saw it, he would shake his head.

However.

I am a person who wants to survive through the end of the novel.

Breaking off the engagement with Zera? Rather, it was a good thing.

Not only were there many evils committed by the previous owner of the body, but the break-up of the engagement between Zera and Harvey is an event that must proceed as per the original novel.

I simply couldn’t handle the many distorted futures that resulted from the twists and turns of the story.

“I understand. I’ll leave soon.”

“Yes, I will be waiting.”

After speaking to the attendant at the door, I stood up.

” Go in. “

And after dismantling the bone dog, I slowly opened the door.

” let’s go. “

” yes. “

The attendant’s eyes widened a little, perhaps because he didn’t know he would come out so confidently.

Soon the eyes changed again to emotionless eyes.

“Take the lead.”

” yes. “

Short answer, desolate streets.

I followed the maid waiting outside the door and walked towards where Zera was waiting.

I will definitely break off the engagement with Zera.

Everything for my happy life.

********

“..I’m a little excited.”

” miss? “

“Harvey, if I handed that guy a letter of divorce, what kind of expression would he make? Would he jump out of his seat? Or would he not be able to control his anger and throw things?”

“..Breaking an engagement is not a joke, take it a little more seriously.”

“I’m being serious.”

A girl whose purple hair, reminiscent of grapes, flutters and raises the corners of her mouth as if she is happy.

As if to represent her mood, her ponytail was swaying left and right, and the small ribbon headband was also swaying accordingly.

“I’ve endured a lot. Ar.”

The maid called Ar frowned.

“You know. How much effort your father put in to unite you with the Artur family.”

” ..I know. “

The Hernández family, a prestigious family famous as a family of Gera and a family of knights.

Zera’s father promoted a union with the Artur family, famous for its magic clan, and as a result, Zera became engaged to Harvey, the eldest son of the Artur family.

I swore that I would do anything for my family, but…

“Harvey, that guy’s behavior has crossed the line. What’s worse, the head of the house, Artur, would have personally signed it.”

“That is correct.”

So, I endured Harvey’s evil behavior.

Although Harvey did not directly mistreat Zera, he was indirectly dishonoring Zera.

Zera’s family is a prestigious family of knights, so they value honor.

But the fiancé threw my honor in the trash can.

This was a disgrace not only to the Arthur family but also to the Hernández family.

“We can’t let this put pressure on our family any longer.”

The justification lies with Hernández.

Artur, the head of the family, who had been listening to Harvey’s behavior, had no choice but to sign the letter of divorce.

Knock knock.

“Miss Zera, I brought you Master Harvey.”

“Let me in.”

The door opens, and Harvey begins to slowly walk towards Zera.

Zera looked at him and frowned slightly.

A foolish and ignorant person who kicked his luck away.

And the moment their eyes met.

The air slowly subsided.
