28 – Seiji, Doll of the Apocalypse (1)

Chaff, meaning grain that has only the shell and is hollow.

Since I was born, I have never seen anyone who suits these words so well.

Golden hair styled back,

Luxurious perfumes and accessories,

A cape that looks expensive at first glance and a wand attached to the waist.

The man standing next to Rose was showing off a shell that looked like it was wrapped in money.

Nevertheless, there was a reasonable reason why I called this person chaff.

“Now, our freshman friends? “It looks like we’re all gathered. Shall we say hello to each other?”

You can see Jukjeong’s face clapping his hands to lighten the mood.

The area is large. However, all of their facial features are small. The blank space that covers most of her face creates the illusion of looking at an empty warehouse.

That’s why. The reason why I, who rarely judge people based on their appearance, thought this person looked like chaff.

‘God was wrong.’

If God exists and created this man, wouldn’t God have to put a dogeja on this man and ask for forgiveness?

“But why does your friend look like that? Did something bad happen?”

Oops, maybe I was looking at you too sadly.

The friend who looked like chaff asked, tilting his head as if he were puzzled.

“No. But by any chance, who…?”

“Ah, my senior friend doesn’t know me. I’m in phase. “I am a second year student and belong to the student council.”

This time I tilted my head. I’m sure I’ve heard this name somewhere, but I have no recollection of what kind of person he was.

Then, Feiz seemed to be feeling uncomfortable and continued speaking while wriggling his eyebrows.

“hahahaha, since you look like you don’t know, I guess I should add some explanation. “He is the second son of the Astrea family.”

Phase shrugs his shoulders and speaks in an arrogant manner.

‘Now I remember.’

What kind of guy was this guy, and why couldn’t I think of this guy right away?

‘Because he died in the beginning.’

Phase is a person who was killed at the beginning of the game. And that too to someone in the same position here.

I have no sympathy. Because this guy was a vicious guy who did things worth dying for.

“Oh, excuse me. “My name is Carmel.”

Despite his viciousness, I bowed my head and showed respect.

Not only was it a position, but there was no need to argue with this guy who was the son of a duke.

“Hmm, yes. Please take care of me in the future. Chief mate.”

After seeing me become more polite, did he feel satisfied? Faze tapped my shoulder and began introducing the new students present one by one.

The first one was the male student sitting on the far right. He had short brown hair and fierce eyes.

“Now, this is Prince Dyke of the Duke García family. “You entered in 5th place this time.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“···.”

Even though Phase introduced me and I politely held out my hand, Dyke didn’t say anything and just looked at me with challenging eyes.

‘What a shameless bastard you are.’

The sarcasm in his attitude offended me, but when I remembered what kind of guy this guy was, I was able to easily resist the urge to slap him.

Because, in [Harem Academy], Even though Dyke was a character that could easily be brought to life, I chose the option of killing him every time.

The reason was simple. To make the game more comfortable, and because I don’t want to have a male party member in my party.

‘I feel sorry when I actually see it.’

The look in his eyes is fierce, and it makes me want to slap him in the face. He is not a bad person at heart. It’s because the family is so damn good.

“Well, this is a very famous friend, so I’m sure you know.”

The next person was someone I knew very well.

Dark blonde hair and bright blue eyes,

Tall height and clear facial features,

Even the starlight in the image seen through the astronomical eye.

“Nice to meet you. “It’s Fran.”

He is the main character of this game that I was once immersed in, and the person I have to stop when he tries to do something foolish. Fran Van Galantus.

Why? Looking at the hand held out in front of me gives me a strange feeling.

“Uh.”

I held his hands together and answered bluntly.

I didn’t mean to show such a harsh attitude.

Is it because he knows that if he starts a harem, the world will be destroyed?

Strangely enough, I didn’t like Fran.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to share the sword sometime. How is it?”

Fran asks me with eyes full of competitive spirit, as befits a passionate protagonist.

When I saw that, I answered, thinking it was a very nice look, typical of a protagonist.

“Why me?”

“Uh… When we share the sword, we promote each other’s development…”

“It’s annoying, so let’s do it next time.”

“···.”

Am I at a loss for words?

Or maybe I didn’t expect this kind of reaction at all?

Fran, who was dumbfounded, quickly nodded her head and sat down with a serious expression on her face.

Looking at that, I feel secretly sorry, but at the same time, I think I did a good job.

My goal was to prevent Fran’s harem, not to help Fran grow.

Anyway, this guy is a candidate for the next hero who, as long as he doesn’t give a damn to women, will grow up on his own and become strong enough to take on evil spirits.

So, there is no need for me to film a youth drama while sweating with this male.

“hahahaha, you all are so energetic. “Carmel-kun, I heard we all know each other, is that correct?”

Next was Rose, smiling brightly at me.

“Please take care of me in the future. Camel.”

“Yes, me too.”

As I was looking at Rose here, I felt proud of her, and I smiled back as well.

It was worth it. Originally, Rose couldn’t even smile like that, let alone sit in this position, and she was a child who suffered heartbreak and had to meet a tragic end.

Rose, who was like that, is now smiling brightly like that in front of me.

So I can’t help but be proud.

“Okay, this is the next one…”

As I was doing that, I heard Phase’s shaky voice.

Looking at his facial expression, his displeasure is clearly revealed.

I knew why Phase was so displeased, so I shook my head inwardly.

I was murdered by someone from the same family as that.

“This is Sage von Astrea.”

Has he noticed that Phase is displeased?

The person in question first introduced himself to me in a business-like voice, even though Phase had not introduced him.

The gaze goes to the source of the voice.

Sky blue hair fluttering in the blowing wind,

Soft and white skin like white jade,

Pretty features that make me exclaim in admiration without even realizing it.

And even the pitch-black eyes, with no trace of life in them.

Wouldn’t it feel like this if your heart froze?

This child, whose appearance was beautiful enough to make me think of such things, was the main character in the game I knew very well and one of the heroine candidates.

‘Look at that.’

Sure enough, Fran can be seen glancing in Seiji’s direction.

I am in a situation where I have to stop this guy who is turning his eyes in all directions like that.

‘This playboy.’

I guess I’ll have to pick a date at some point.

“Please take care of me.”

“Yes.”

When I said hello, Seiji responded in a very stiff tone.

It’s such a cold attitude.

It could have felt sad, but it didn’t actually feel that way.

Because I know why Seiji has such a cold attitude.

‘Because it’s a magic doll with no emotions.’

Sage is a magic doll created by Caroline, an archmage and high elf who belonged to the warrior party, pouring everything she had into it.

It is a magic doll, but it would be more accurate to say that it is a person since it has not only the body but also the soul and mind of a real person.

‘They said she was the daughter of a Carolinian who died young.’

Caroline’s daughter, Sage, died a long time ago. And she missed her daughter all her life and stopped eating and drinking.

Meanwhile, Caroline learned the forbidden magic of giving an artificial soul to the body of a dead person, and she actually performed it.

The result is Seiji in front of me with a dead look in her eyes.

Caroline, who missed her dead daughter, gave the magic doll she made the same name as her daughter.

Although she lacked emotions and had the side effect of having to obey her master’s words, Caroline considered Seiji to be her own daughter and raised her with sincere care and love.

However, the price for committing forbidden magic was severe; it was death.

Sage personally witnessed the shocking scene of his mother losing her life to the sword of the warrior Kewell, but he did not cry. No, she couldn’t. Because Seiji had no feelings.

Was that kind of Seiji interesting? Or did she feel desirable? The Duke of Astrea, who was attending the event, adopted Seiji as his adopted daughter.

‘It was an uncomfortable story.’

If it had gotten to this point, she would have been at least better.

In the game, if the player does not choose Seiji as her heroine, Seiji’s misfortunes really begin from this point.

“Please understand, Camel-kun. “He’s my half-brother, and he’s like that because he has low blood.”

Faze, who had a large stake in Seiji’s misfortune, whispers quietly with a disdainful expression.

That hostility seems pathetic.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand Phase’s position at all.

From his perspective, Seiji was a half-brother who suddenly appeared.

Even his younger brother has excellent elemental and magic skills, unlike himself, whose abilities are quite mediocre, so of course he is jealous.

That’s why. The reason why Phase was jealous of Seiji.

But the problem with this guy was that the jealousy went too far.

In the game, Jane, the eldest daughter of the Faze and Astrea families, could not overcome her jealousy and inflicted all kinds of harm on Seiji.

Seiji, who had no emotions, showed no reaction to them even when he was harmed.

As a result, the level of harm between Phase and Jane gradually went too far.

‘No matter what, selling it to the Chaos Church really crossed the line.’

She even committed the atrocity of handing her younger brother over to the Chaos Church.

I couldn’t understand this part.

Even though he is my half-brother, I am very jealous.

How could she, born as a human being, think of handing over her younger brother to the Chaos Cult?

Of course, Seiji fell into the Chaos Church and became corrupted.

Not just a corrupted person, but an evil doll with power and cruelty comparable to the Seven Deadly Sins.

For reference, the fallen Seiji’s nickname was ‘Doll of the Apocalypse’.

‘I can’t stand to see that happen again.’

From noble mtl dot com

It is not that there is no way to prevent this. Still, she is a heroine candidate in name and substance, so is there no way to save her?

I know. A way to rescue Seiji from the swamp of misfortune.

The important thing here is that I am not the main character of the original work.

What this means is that even if I save Seiji, the world will not be destroyed.

Why? Because it will be me who saves Seiji, not Fran.

If that happens, Seiji will never give his heart to Fran, and it will become impossible for Fran to accept Seiji as a heroine.

The moment I was thinking to myself.

“Giggles, nice to meet you. “You new kids.”

I heard a voice that seemed like I had heard it before.

When I look around, everyone is bowing their heads to someone. Who is it that greets me so politely? I looked closely at the person who voiced that thought.

‘Grandpa who was cleaning?’

A gray beard and curly hair that hang down to his chest.

That person was an old man who showed me the way when I was wandering while sweeping a broom on the first day I visited the academy.

“Hey there. “If the president is here, I should say hello, but why are you making such a surprised rabbit-like face?”

I finally remembered.

Hilda van Kerendius, president of Aden Academy.

This was the identity of the old man who chose me.

****

A girl was rummaging through something of hers, covered in her own blood.

“This is too weak.”

The girl muttered and threw what she was holding into the air.

– Puck.

What was thrown hit the wall and fell to the floor, bursting with bright red liquid.

“This is ugly.”

As the girl said that, she picked up something else and threw it away.

-Puck

What was thrown also made a loud noise as it hit the wall, and spewed bright red and cloudy liquid as it fell to the floor.

“Put it away.”

After the girl ordered the middle-aged man who was watching her, she started playing with her hands again.

“I understand.”

The middle-aged man bowed his head, answered politely, and began picking up the things the girl had thrown and putting them in a large bag.

At first, it was someone’s torn arm.

Then the face of an unknown person.

“Hey. “Save me.”

Have I gotten tired? The girl let out a sigh and gave the middle-aged man a command.

“What can I get?”

The middle-aged man asked back. He was even more polite than he was to the emperor, who was the only one of higher status than himself.

“A sturdy and pretty-looking kid that’s easy to play with. “

“I happen to know a doll like that.”

“Doll?”

“Yes. This is a doll that Grid will definitely like. “We were already in the process of disinfecting, so it turned out that it went well.”

“Oh.”

The girl smiled excitedly, tearing the corners of her mouth up to her ears.

“I will bring it to you soon.”

The middle-aged woman bowed her head and thought.

As expected, it was a good thing I picked it up then.
