45 – The maid’s secret inside story (1)

After Elfin and Justina were sent away, I lay on the bed in the treatment room and looked up at the ceiling, which I was still unfamiliar with, and lost myself in contemplation.

There are many questions about Elfin and Justina over the past 500 years, and there are a lot of things to talk about…….

Anyway, it was Liwin’s thoughts that flooded my mind right now.

‘What happened to Liwin?’

If, as Elfin said, he had initially left for the Demonic Realm to find traces of his parents, his motive itself could be understood.

But why did he come up with such a terrible purpose there?

Stuffed moments and repeating only the happiest times.

I couldn’t believe that the Liwin I knew came up with that idea.

“If it’s not the Liwin I know…… ?”

Then I remembered what Justina had said to me.

Now Li Win is a completely different person from the Li Win I know.

At first he didn’t understand what that meant, but he seemed to understand now that he had heard the story and faced Katarina.

That 500 years is absolutely not the same for everyone.

‘500 Years for elves and dragons… It’s not a short period of time, but it’s probably not long enough for people to change at all.’

Not only does she live for an infinite amount of time, but Justina, who was only at school, has hardly changed.

On the other hand, she is also an elf with a lifespan of a thousand years, and the elfin who accumulated her experience by traveling around the continent and reading various newspapers has changed a little.

However, what does 500 years mean to Liwin, a half-blooded demon whose lifespan is less than 100 years old?

No, on the contrary, should we consider what kind of influence those 500 years had on Liwin?

– ‘Human beings cannot endure 500 years. They say I’m already a ghost who died hundreds of years ago.’

Suddenly, I remembered what Katarina had said to me right before she died.

Humans and demons have almost the same lifespan, and the same goes for mixed race demons.

In other words, Liwin was a contradictory being with a mind that couldn’t stand 500 years, but a body that could easily withstand 500 years thanks to time magic.

‘I understand why time wizards don’t live forever.’

For me, it is an unimaginably distant area.

However, if it is true that short-lived minds such as humans cannot endure hundreds of years, then I can see why the time wizards do not dare to do so.

You can freeze the time flowing through your body and theoretically live forever.

‘Liwin, so to speak… Yes, is it an exception?’

Among those time wizards, Liwin was an outlier.

I don’t know if it was unique from the beginning, but it ended up being that way.

500 Years later, he is still alive and is doing everything for the goal of stuffing the world’s time and repeating only the happy moments.

It was that there was no human mind left, and it could have completely collapsed and become a ghost-like existence.

‘Is that why you formed an alliance with the guy who wants to rebuild Delin?’

Simply crazy, only thinking about goals?

I wanted to believe that there was more to this.

Working with someone who wants to bring back the country I hated the most in order to return to my time together.

Is it that the means to achieve the goal are no longer insignificant?

“…… It’s daunting.”

With everyone leaving, I had no idea how to stop Li Yun.

Right now, even Katarina was a strong enemy that was hard to deal with.

I don’t know why, but the guy who formed an alliance and claimed to be the last king of Dellin seemed to have skills related to magic technology.

However, even if this side managed to solve it, it was unclear how to deal with Liwin, who had the overwhelming ability of time magic.

‘I’ll have to do something. But how?’

As Justina said, hiding in the academy and only trying to protect my life didn’t suit my temper no matter how I looked at it.

Since Justina, who appealed with her tears, knew me well, she must know deep down that I would not accept the offer.

Then, is the correct answer for her to go around to find the flower of resurrection before Justina with Elfin?

To be honest, I didn’t know that well in the current situation.

‘Charlotte, yes. First of all, it’s from Charlotte.’

Since long ago, I’ve been the type to look at the trees right in front of my eyes rather than the forest, so I’ve often missed things.

But right now, I knew that looking at the trees rather than the forest was the answer.

The priority was to protect Charlotte, who was being threatened right in front of her, rather than Liwin, who was quietly extending her demonic hand from afar.

To do so…….

‘I’ll have to listen to Charlotte.’

Why are you being targeted?

What does Delin’s last legacy mean?

***

Fortunately, the next morning, my body felt better.

The wounds disappeared without a trace, as did the fatigue.

As soon as I woke up and finished my light exercise, I washed up and came out when I heard a knock.

It seemed that there was someone waiting at the door.

“Uh, who are you?”

I thought it would be Elfin or Justina.

But neither of them were standing in front of the door.

However, it could not be said that he was an unexpected person.

Because even in the mansion, she always knocked on the door, and when I opened that door, she was the girl who stood in front of me with a big smile.

“Bocchan!”

“Charlotte?”

Suddenly, Charlotte jumped out of nowhere, startled.

I still felt that feeling at the mansion, but if there was another thing, the current Charlotte was wearing a school uniform, not a maid uniform.

In the first place, Charlotte wasn’t the only one who came to see me.

“Ha ha ha ha! I’m a bit disappointed with you, Deneb, that you only got hurt while hunting monsters! Try harder next time!”

From noble mtl dot com

“Oh, hello. I’m not close, but I’m worried because we’re in the same class now…….”

“I forcibly followed them because everyone said they were going. I’m sorry, it looks good anyway. To be in bed because you were attacked by just one monster.”

I opened her eyes wide, then slowly opened her eyes and tilted her head as I saw the special class students appearing behind Charlotte’s back.

‘What are these guys talking about?’

I got hurt in the monster hunt, did I completely forget yesterday’s fight against the 500-year-old witch?

You were almost killed by Katarina, who was suffering from brainwashing?

‘No, it wasn’t hunting demons in the first place, it was a search for demons!’

The moment when I felt a bit unfair and almost spoke out.

The thought flashed through her head that Elfin and Justina had used her hands on something the night before.

‘Right, I said I would use amnestics.’

Anyway, the students in the special class except for me seemed to remember yesterday’s demon search operation as an ordinary monster hunting practice.

It’s unfortunate that I lost my memory due to someone else’s manipulation, but I couldn’t help it due to the circumstances of the adult.

But when I think about it… Justina’s magic circle that covered the sky, a blizzard that seemed to cut flesh, and even monster-like demons that I couldn’t see myself.

It might be better for your mental health to not remember these things in the first place.

“Can we all come in? All five of us came together!”

…… Aside from that, why did so many people come?

“Charlotte, Josef, Guinness and cornet?”

“Yes, Yuzu is behind you too!”

I could understand Charlotte coming to visit her in the hospital.

I know Joseph to some extent, so it wasn’t too strange.

But should I say it’s a bit unexpected that Cornet and Guinness are coming?

I don’t know about Cornet, but Guinness actually spoke for the first time in the last class… No, I don’t think he even talked to you?

“Wouldn’t it be better if everyone came together?! Ha ha ha! The more patients there are, the stronger the force!”

“No, I’m all better. I was going to go out and run.”

“Don’t say that! Isn’t the face still pale! At least today, it’s a face that needs to rest inside!”

“Ah, ah, uh uh uh… ….”

The special class students pushed through the narrow doorway.

In order, from Charlotte to Joseph, to Cornet and Guinness…….

She felt something was missing, so she turned around and saw Justina at her far end, awkwardly hanging around with her arms crossed.

“…… Are you here too?”

Justina, who caught my gaze, immediately turned her head away and yelped like her meowing cat.

“Why are you looking at me like that! Bo, even though she was born, she is a student in the same special class!”

“No, what. It is, but.”

“She also sees with her eyes that she is right for the house! She never meant to come with me like this! That prince said that everyone had to go together, so I had no choice but to… Turn it off….”

Justina writhed, her face reddening as she clenched her fists with her hands.

She didn’t know why a dragonwoman who was well over 500 years old looked cuter than the girls in her late teens.

Assuming that my eyes were covered with colored glasses from the child I raised, I grabbed Justina’s hand.

“So, won’t you come in?”

“Go, why are you holding her hand all of a sudden?”

“Come in. It looks like you bought something. It’s all better, but since it’s a holiday, isn’t it okay to play with the kids?”

“Stop it… The director of Denbergen Academy, you shouldn’t be hanging around like this in the first place… It’s been revealed that there is an intruder, so it’s a very urgent situation….”

Justina seemed to be in trouble as she tried to free her hand from my grip.

But I didn’t let go of that hand, on the contrary, I held it tighter.

If Justina really tried to get away from me in the first place, it wouldn’t have been difficult for her to shake off this hand.

In other words, while she was saying that Justina had to go and work, she was whining that she wanted to play with her.

‘Nothing has changed, anyway.’

After thinking for a while, I came up with her perfect excuse for her Justina.

“Then how about this one? This is also the job of the chairman.”

“Your job as the chairman? What about hanging out with you, Deneb?”

“Rather than playing around… Let’s call it a visit. In the first place, isn’t it only important to call in right now?”

I entered the hospital room first and smiled at Charlotte, who was curiously looking around her.

Justina noticed her immediately and gently tilted her head.

“…… You mean Charlotte?”

“Okay, now that it’s like this, isn’t it okay to try it yourself?”

“There are other children, so it may be impossible right now, but if you look at the timing… Well, that’s right. This would be important information. Finding out why that child is being targeted is also the main woman’s job.”

It turns out that Charlotte has her own doubts.

Right now, from being hit by that icicle yesterday and being fine, Elfin and Justina unanimously testified that it would be absurd for an ordinary human being.

Looking at the other circumstances, it is clear that there is something secret.

To uncover the hidden truth, you had to bump into it.

“Then, please. Find out the hidden secret… You are an expert on this one. Can I trust you?”

“Why does she say that the original woman is her specialty?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“Turn off, turn off… ….”

And I thought Justina was perfect for the role.

It’s not like it’s not, just look at the devices made all over the school to find out my identity right away…….

The 7 wonders? Even more so when you consider that in reality, just one of them was enough.

“That’s Deneb, so I put a lot of effort into it… ….”

“What?”

“Oh, nothing. Let’s go in.”

I entered the hospital room again with Justina, who was somewhat shy.
