89 – Is He Really Insane?

In the private research room of the Guild of Blessings, the confident voice of that Jane echoed, or more precisely, in Erin’s personal chamber, favored by her.

“Well, just as I expected!”

Erin, who casually checked the documents handed over by Jane’s cousin brother, chuckled with a proud expression.

After finding out that Jane belonged not to an ordinary household but to the same third guild as her, Erin had done some research of her own to some extent.

Thanks to that, Erin, with her confident expression, small face, and adorable voice, gave quite a bold smile.

Seeing her like that, Roxer playfully flicked her forehead.

“Oh!! Why’d you hit me!?”

“Because you’re so cute when you’re annoyed.”

“You’re unbelievable, really. But where did Rica go?”

Grabbing Erin’s slightly blushing forehead, she asked where Rica, who had become more submissive and colder towards Roxer lately, was.

“She said she’ll personally check the guest room of the Sword Guild mentioned in the documents with Ciel.”

“Ha… I see.”

Erin, who had witnessed something strange with Roxer recently, scrunched her face slightly.

It seemed highly likely that Rica, having witnessed it too, had taken Ciel along for revenge.

“But lately, Rica has been really icy towards me…”

“…Ugh, you fool.”

Erin, looking at Roxer, who was completely oblivious, stuck out her tongue and used the special magic system she had developed to bring the documents to her.

Annoyed by the sudden tap on her head, Roxer followed along and poked her head.

“Don’t touch me, it won’t work properly if I lose my focus!”

“What are you talking about? You said as long as I input what you already know, it’ll work on its own.”

“Oh!! I’m trying to read the contents of the documents right now!!”

“I already know everything!!”

“You idiot!! I only roughly know what’s going on by attending, I don’t know the detailed schedule of the Sword Guild!!”

“If you always roughly know and pretend you know everything, you’ll make a mistake or two in the test.”

“…Do you really want to die!?”

“Right, you know that when we compete in tests and you lose, you still owe me more than 10 wishes, right?”

“Well, shall we focus and read again?”

Growling at each other, they were about to fight when Erin pricked her side, which made them quickly refocus and memorize the contents of the documents.

‘I was reluctant to attend the meeting of the 10 guilds including the three major guilds tomorrow, feeling burdened by the Guild Council or something…’

Erin sighed, contemplating attending the meeting to find Jane again.

The investigation itself to find Jane was not tiring.

Just… just…

‘Rockser, that guy, even when I’m dragged along, keeps trying to find Jane like crazy… Oh my gosh!! Why am I so jealous of Jane for this!!!’

Rockser’s treatment of Jane was the only thing that bothered Erin every moment.

‘Or not!? I don’t care at all!’

Looking at how she was now banging her head alone, it was clear how much Erin had been agonizing over the past few days.

Thoughts and worries are like water; if you accumulate too much, they will eventually burst.

“Hey… Rockser.”

“Why? Have you finished analyzing already?”

Erin hesitated for a moment and pretended to operate the system, speaking to Rox.

As Rox stared at Erin’s suspicious back, he approached her, wondering if she was hurting somewhere.

“I must be truly crazy!!”

Thanks to that, Erin mentally pulled out her hair in frustration.

But since the deed was done, like spilled water that can’t be retrieved, whether you plant something in it or use it as a humidifier, Erin decided to play along with the madness.

“If.”

“If what?”

“That if.”

“So, what are you talking about with ‘that if’?”

“Argh!!! Just listen without interrupting!”

“…..”

Feeling annoyed by Erin’s sudden outburst, Rox turned towards her and lightly tapped her forehead, as if questioning if he hit her too hard.

‘Don’t be kind only at times like this!!’

In the past, he might have told her to get her dirty hands off him.

Since their various bickerings in the car with Rox, Erin found herself constantly thinking about him.

When Rox, thinking his actions may have been too much, was about to stop, Erin casually brought up her true feelings.

Seemingly joking, she casually asked if he would come to pick her up if she fell like Jane.

Although her question sounded light-hearted, it was filled with sincerity.

Thinking Erin might be teasing again, Rox blinked as if prepared for any answer.

However.

“Of course, right?”

Rox replied to Erin in a tone that implied, “Why are you asking the obvious?”

“What?”

“I’m asking about the obvious.”

“Right, of course, right?”

Erin seemed nonchalant on the surface, but inside, she was boiling like a kettle on a stove.

If she had a puppy tail, she might have wagged it vigorously by now out of excitement.

‘Why does this make me feel good?!’

To cool down her momentarily flushed face, Erin fanned herself.

“Well, obviously, if a cute, charming, genius girl like me disappears, you should come to rescue me!”

She then mockingly snorted.

It wasn’t about her being conceited; rather, it was a way to banter with Rox and forget the embarrassment.

But her counterpart was utterly insane.

“Right, Erin is cute, charming, and a genius girl indeed.”

Unable to be outdone in madness, Rox complimented Erin with a smile.

With a steady voice, when Erin sensed the mockery, she frowned.

Only after reading Rox’s mocking expression did she snap.

“Oh, damn it!! I really hate you!!!!”

“Why? Wasn’t I just praising you?”

Rokser showed a pitying expression towards her, who couldn’t accept praise as praise.

“Wow, you’re really a bad guy, seriously.”

Erin, as if she had had enough, activated the system with a sullen face.

How much time had passed when Rica, following, brought Siel after thoroughly inspecting the necessary parts.

However.

“Siel…?”

Siel seemed a bit off.

With a look as if all luck had run out, Rica, with a sly smile, told her not to worry about it.

“Ugh…”

From behind Rica, Siel made a melting sound, collapsed.

Using Siel’s exceptional senses, Rica showed everything to the guards and the room status through shadows.

This made Siel understand everything in detail, overwhelming her brain.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Ugh-“

Camilla comforted Siel in that state.

Meanwhile, Rica handed over the records Siel had made to Erin, who then combined them all to figure out a way to reach Jane.

“Alright! Rokser, the path and method you mentioned are all set.”

Preparations were now complete.

Following Rokser’s words, “We just need to create a situation where Jane and I face each other,” the girls ultimately found the method.

Hence, they were hopeful.

They were curious to see how that person, who always managed to pull off crazy stunts, would bring Jane from the 3rd Guild.

Every time they inquired about the method, pushing the answer for later, their curiosity grew.

“Are you going to tell us soon?”

Rica, who was more curious about Rokser’s plan than anyone else, approached Rokser, who was stretching while twisting her wrist.

Erin, for some reason, felt hopeful at that sight.

Just as Rokser had said she would accompany Jane if she was taken somewhere, Erin hoped the same for herself.

“What?”

“Tell us how you plan to meet Jane and bring her back.”

The girls looked at Rokser with anticipation, wondering how they would retrieve Jane.

Their curiosity was not theirs alone.

‘How will they bring Jane back?’

Junje, who was preparing to overturn the family for once, was also pondering the same.

No matter how strong Rokser was, it was impossible to retrieve Jane by conventional means.

They needed a way to turn the tables.

Surely, they anticipated preparing an unimaginable method, given the extraordinary circumstances.

‘Perhaps the only predictable thing is Jane finding freedom on her own… But how?’

Junje, holding a secret meeting, paused in thought upon hearing a certain question.

Within the dimly lit room, those who concealed their appearance with azure flames gazed at Junje.

Junje, still lost in thought, had the same azure flame appearance as them.

“So, what is that guy, who is supposed to act as a huge variable, going to do?”

“You’re not the type to talk nonsense, but let’s prepare just in case. You do realize our lives are at stake, right?”

“…”

“Hey, give me an answer.”

Relatives and blood relatives who had agreed to share their intentions kept asking on what grounds exactly had the opportunity come for their family to overturn the guild council this time.

“You may not believe it, but if Jane exerts her full power now, there’s no one within the family who can stop her.”

In the end, Jejun mentioned that this time at the guild council was one of the opportunities to overturn the family.

The young talents and elders of the Changgeum Guild were in an uproar at these words.

“That kid?? Just reached 6th Awakening? 7th Awakening already??”

“That man-like kid who just became an adult?”

“…Surprising, I thought you weren’t the type to talk nonsense.”

“Brother, are you serious? He’s not even capable of manifesting his Hyeonhyeon with his Flare yet, and he’s stronger than the elders?”

“Well… what if they’re concealing their appearance with Hyeonhyeon for some reason and then using everyday speech…”

“You fool, when you manifest Hyeonhyeon, you can only communicate with the designated targets anyway.”

“Still, we need to be cautious.”

“But what can a kid who was just living under temporary guardianship do? If they could rebel, they would have done so already.”

As the Changgeum Guild’s roundtable meeting stirred, Jejun spoke up once again.

“Someone is coming who can change Jane.”

At this statement, the roundtable shook.

Jejun continued the meeting, praying that Rokse would bring a proper way to transform Jane.

Meanwhile, Rokse, who held the fate of the young members of the Changgeum Guild, responded with an expression that seemed to imply it was obvious that there was no need for any thoughts.

“A way to get Jane out? I’ll just go and dress Jane in all sorts of women’s clothes.”

The response Rokse received was a mix of disbelief and disdain from those women, as if asking if she was truly insane.
