84 – Finding the Skull (1)

“That’s a bit… Evil!”

When I hesitated and tried to answer, Lily hit my stomach with her fist, then her expression turned stern and she started nagging me.

“Where on earth are you going in this condition? Didn’t I tell you? If you are not feeling well, do not leave it alone, but seek treatment at the right time. Otherwise, it will be even harder for me.”

“That’s true, but… Oh!”

“It still is. Doesn’t Mr. Caramel scream like a baby even when I hit him gently like now? It’s none other than Mr. Caramel. “Do you really not know how serious this condition is?”

It didn’t seem like he hit me gently.

Anyway, I was fully aware that my physical condition was serious, so I had to keep my mouth shut.

“If you understand, please lie down quietly. “Thanks to Mr. Caramel coming in this condition, someone will have to spend a very difficult night.”

After saying that, Lily took out her packet of tobacco from her arms and placed it next to her.

-Chiik.

Lily placed one of them on her dainty lips and lit it on fire with her skillful touch.

Phew, as she exhaled her smoke, the refreshing fruity scent and the unique smell of acrid tobacco hit the tip of her nose.

“···I’m sorry.”

As I watched Lily tie her long light purple hair back with a determined expression on her face, I had to apologize in a voice as loud as a mosquito.

Because, Lily would use divine power on me, who was in a serious condition, and she would have to endure great pain in the aftermath.

Of course, it was an unavoidable situation, but it was also inevitable for Lily to feel guilty.

“You don’t have to be sorry.”

Lily, who had begun to unleash her divine power, answered in her soft tone.

So she tried to answer something.

His physical condition must have been really bad, but as he was engulfed in her divine power, his body became drowsy and his eyes began to close.

“Just don’t die.”

Why? The reason why I felt like my heart was shaking from Lily’s trembling voice.

After asking such a meaningless question, my consciousness was cut off for a moment.

“···.”

How much time has passed?

When I realized that my consciousness had returned, I felt very refreshed.

‘It’s fascinating.’

I feel this every time, but Lily’s divine power has such outstanding healing power that it can even be called power.

Just a little while ago, it was clearly difficult to even walk.

Now, I feel like my whole body is overflowing with vitality, beyond feeling so light that I feel like I’m about to fly.

‘I think it’s gotten so much better.’

Is it because my stats increased dramatically earlier?

Or is it because I woke up as a healthy man?

Certain body parts were swollen even more than usual.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Normally, I would have praised myself and said, ‘As expected, I am strong.’

The problem was that the place I woke up was not my dorm.

“Hmm…”

Was it very difficult? When I turned her head, I saw Lily’s pretty face, sleeping defenseless with my forearm as a pillow.

Lily’s shallow breath touches my face.

The sweet scent of fruit and the subtle scent unique to lily penetrate the tip of your nose.

Is it because I’m wearing a thin slip? The soft feel of flesh on my skin constantly stimulates my five senses.

I think I fell asleep because I was exhausted from the treatment.

Even so, the current Lily was so defenseless and even fatal.

‘Why are you so defenseless?’

Four years ago, she received help from me, and Lily knows that she trusts me.

I also have no intention of betraying that trust.

‘I’m a man too…’

He is also a very sturdy man.

Is that why? It was difficult to control my lust.

I tried so hard to close my eyes.

Perhaps my instincts took over, my eyelids kept opening, and my eyes endlessly explored Lily’s pretty face and cleavage.

“Ugh…”

As I was doing that, I heard a sad sound in my ear.

When she opened her eyes again, which she had closed, Lily was frowning as if she was in pain, and tears were streaming down her face.

‘What am I thinking right now…’

Looking at that, the lust that had been controlling her mind collapsed like a sand castle.

After she came to her senses, I held Lily in my arms and began to carefully brush her hair.

And then I made a promise.

It is not too late to embrace this child after he is completely free from pain, so let’s hold on for now.

So I stayed up all night with my eyes open.

I thought so.

-Ratly.

-Tweet.

Suddenly, the sound of a window opening and birds chirping reach my ears.

When I open my eyes, warm sunlight is seeping through the open window.

“You’re awake. “Are you feeling okay?”

Turning her head, she suddenly saw Lily, dressed in her priestly attire, with her tobacco in her mouth.

“Thank you. Honestly, I feel like I’m flying.”

“Thank goodness. Then···.”

When I answered, Lily pursed her lips and made a pouty expression for some reason.

“It will be time for the Mother Superior to arrive soon, so I think you can fly away.”

She nodded at the open window and spoke to me in a quiet tone.

Jump from the 7th floor.

****

When I jumped from the 7th floor, the place I headed straight to was Jane’s office.

Because, it was clear that Jane had stayed up all night with her eyes wide open, waiting endlessly for news from me.

When I arrived at her office, I explained to Jane everything about her.

What kind of end did the Duke of Astrea and Grid meet?

How much information has been obtained from the Academy and Seongguk?

“That’s what happened in the end…”

After listening to my explanation to the end, Jane sat down on the sofa and answered, closing her red, bloodshot eyes.

Jane’s expression was very complicated as she closed her eyes, but I could understand her feelings a little.

‘A lot changed overnight.’

Her man, who had driven her and her younger brother into the abyss of death, has died.

But, that man was the head of the family and the father whom she once loved and who would have loved her.

‘It must be difficult in many ways.’

I hate Miuna, but I can’t help but feel the emptiness that comes from losing her family.

The burden of having to protect the family from nobles who are like wildcats,

Anxiety about the future, not knowing what will unfold in front of his younger brother and himself.

No matter what choice she made, it was quite obvious that Jane’s future would be difficult.

“···Thank you.”

As I was thinking that, I heard Jane’s voice.

“Sincerely.”

When I look up, I see Jane bowing her head towards me.

“There is no need to be thankful because it was a contract. By the way, what are your plans for the future?”

When I saw that, I felt a little sympathy, but I deliberately pretended not to care and asked back.

“You said there were no traces left, right? “No one found the carriage either.”

“I didn’t clean it up, but that’s the situation.”

“It will take quite some time for the fact of death to become known.”

“That’s right.”

“Then I guess I’ll just pretend not to know and get ready, then go back at the right time.”

After hearing Jane’s answer, I quietly nodded.

I admire Jane a little for choosing the better option even in this situation.

“You fulfilled your contract, so I must do the same.”

Jane took out a communication tool and handed it to me.

“Give orders to Astrea at any time.”

He knelt down and bowed to me.

“Please keep my secret.”

After answering with embarrassment, I recalled the contents of the contract I had made with Jane.

‘Was it too much?’

I did it because I didn’t trust him. Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

I think it was too much to ask the duke’s daughter, who was in an extreme situation, to be loyal to her for life instead of saving her life.

‘No.’

I shake my head at the question I’ve been hearing for a while.

No matter what the circumstances were, what Jane did to Seiji was something that could never be forgiven.

Also, aren’t humans animals that can commit something again at any time?

So it was natural. The reason was that strong restrictions were placed on Jane, who already had a history.

More than anything, it was clear that it would be of great help to me if the prestige of the Duke’s family was placed under me.

“Oh, and…”

I was thinking that, but Jane looked at me with a hesitation.

When I tilted my head, Jane started muttering in a voice as loud as a mosquito.

“Well, to Seiji… No matter what happens, I will personally apologize. “Gye, it’s not because of the contract.”

After hearing that muttering, I nodded quietly and walked out the door.

****

I killed the Duke of Astrea and one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The terror of ‘Wings of Freedom’ was prevented, and the demons that had just awakened from their sleep were sent over the rainbow bridge.

So, it was only natural that this semester should have gone smoothly without any incidents.

‘Fuck.’

After being stolen by a mysterious skeleton, I had to wander around the Academy grounds and every corner of Adenia to find the skeleton.

‘There is no answer as it is.’

Conclusions reached after wandering around Adenia for two days.

If we keep going like this, we’ll never find that skeleton guy.

Because, at first glance, the guy didn’t even have an ounce of demonic energy.

‘It’s a talking skull, but why doesn’t it have any magic energy?’

I didn’t understand. It’s clearly a talking, moving skeleton, but it’s not a skeleton or a spa toy.

It was frustrating. How could I find a skeleton without magic in this vast Adenia?

‘You can’t do it alone.’

Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, I eventually decided to mobilize all of my few connections and ask for help.

Among them, the first person I met was Daisy.

“A talking skull?”

Daisy tilted her head and asked back at my question.

The reason why I asked Daisy for help was obvious.

‘Because Daisy is wild.’

When I was struggling to find the toy of greed, Daisy, who heard my story, compiled a huge amount of information in just one day.

So Daisy was one of the few people I could rely on.

Have you decided to live up to my expectations?

“Ah, Camel. “When I think about it…”

Daisy, who was deep in thought, soon began to open her cute lips.

“My father said he would come here next week. “They said he was coming to see his son-in-law…”

With his eyes narrowed, as if he wanted to look at me.
