“I came to tell you a review of the commandment bait… Did something happen?”
“It’s no big deal.”
I blinked as I looked at the quiet lab. No matter how you look at it, it seems like a lie. If it wasn’t really a big deal, the wizards wouldn’t have kept their mouths shut and their heads down.
“Timanuk.”
I turned my head and looked for the person here who was the worst at lying. Timanuk caught my gaze and blinked a couple of times before finally opening his mouth.
“Lord Zrya and Mr. Keimyeong fought again.”
“Oh brother! “I told you not to tell me!”
“Meister almost got hit while talking next to me.”
“Mr. Oh.”
Yes, it is so comfortable because there is someone who is clueless and honest. There is no need for a separate watcher.
I handed the meat skewer to Timanyuk, who relieved me of my troubles with his honest remarks. The meat skewers he bought on his way back from patrol were what Timanyuk enjoyed the most.
Even though he was 3 years old, the innocent wizard accepted the meat skewer with sparkling eyes.
“thank you.”
“Next time the same thing happens, please tell me. “It’s a great example.”
“of course.”
“No, bro. You can’t do this to me. “Are you going to throw away the promise you made to me, whom you met for a long time, like throwing away trash, and hold hands with him happily?”
“But Tei-kun Job gave me meat skewers and cookies.”
“What the fuck, is your relationship with me as bad as a meat skewer?”
“That’s not it. But…”
Timanyuk pondered for a moment before continuing.
“Tei-kun is fierce and Job is kind. “I want to continue a good relationship with Job.”
It was a perfect Meister loss. Meister, who was at a loss for words, grabbed the back of his neck and I laughed slightly, out of character for the situation.
“So, I guess I would have been a little kinder in normal times.”
“Sibalom, don’t laugh.”
“Okay. “I may nag you, but I won’t betray you.”
“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssxxxxxxm?”
Anyway, after giving more candy to Timanuk, who said he wanted to become friends with me, I saw Lord Zrya with his fists tightly clenched. The irritated eyes look like someone who is really angry or like someone who wants to cry. I took my eyes off his trembling fist.
“commandment.”
“…There was just a light argument. “It doesn’t seem worth elaborating any further.”
“Okay then, can I take Sir Zria with me?”
“I don’t know why you’re asking me that.”
That’s it… If a fight broke out, it’s highly likely that Lord Zrya would have been first, right? And the person who gets into a fight is usually classified as the victim. Well, neither she nor the people of Munmund will ever like this proposition.
“I get it. “Then are you willing to talk to me, Lord Zrya?”
“…I am under full surveillance.”
“I understand your desire to fulfill your mission. However, the wizards here are working tirelessly to end the final battle successfully. “If they feel uncomfortable because of your mission, isn’t that a problem that needs to be resolved?”
“….”
I persuaded Lord Zrya and took out the food I had put in my inventory. These were all snacks purchased with pocket money received from great sages.
“If you’re worried about my possible escape, I swear to you. “The moment she does anything strange, I will be the first to catch her and bring her to her knees.”
Actually, I was going to give this to you when you left the lab. Given this atmosphere, I think it would be better to give it now. If you eat something, this depressed mood will be relieved.
“…All right.”
“okay. Thank you for accepting my offer. And Timanuk, these are the foods I bought for everyone who works in the lab. “I bought a lot, so I hope everyone shares it appropriately.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Meister, I will see you after the conversation with Lord Zrya.”
“Why me.”
“I would have said you were nagging.”
“Oh really.”
Since Gye-myeong couldn’t have tried to hit Meister just once, it was probably Lord Zrya who tried to hit him just for speaking up. And Lord Zrya… From what I’ve seen so far, he doesn’t have the temperament to beat up others for no reason. Unless the other person provoked you or touched your enemy.
Isn’t the judgment that the Meister should listen to nagging if this is an extremely common sense inference? With that thought in mind, I took Lord Zrya and went out into the hallway.
“Ah, I’m finally going to live.”
“People who use their bodies shouldn’t be like this. Oh, except the prosecutor who just intervened.”
“Well… if you’re a knight, even if you speak so softly, everyone will hear you on this street.”
“omg!”
Sweet. Just before the door closed, there was a bit of conversation between the wizards. Regardless of the gossip, I was glad that the atmosphere seemed to have relaxed.
“Yes… Lord Zrya. “What did Meister say?”
“…yes?”
“There is no need to cover for him. “I know that his temper is dirty.”
Rather, Lord Zrya, why are you so embarrassed? Did you really think that I would be the first to report my fight with Commandment?
“You didn’t say anything.”
“Again, I know he’s not the type of person to do that, and those wizards know it too. “Be honest.”
“That’s it.”
Lord Zrya thought for a while, then closed his eyes and clicked his tongue.
“I know how you feel about starting a fight, but if you came as a watchdog, just watch… You can’t kill the traitor right now anyway… Neither with your skills nor with your cause… So, if you can’t control your emotions, either get out of here or just shut up and be still. … That’s roughly what you said.”
Yes, I see. That’s what our great leader with great personality said.
“…Thank you for your cooperation. I will definitely put a stop to this bastard’s obsession, so please take a look at him just once. “If you say that next time, I won’t stop you either.”
In reality, this is true. That’s true… but who in the world would throw that in their face?
I realized once again the Meister’s personality and prayed to Lord Zrya. Even if Lord Zrya was a new knight of Amman, if he got hit by that fist, the Meister would not have been able to recover even a bone, so he had no choice.
Even though he made some outrageous remarks, he was my colleague.
“I’m fine. There is no mistake in what Master Daemyung said. It’s just that I lack self-control…”
I looked at this evil article while imagining hitting Meister on the back ten times. Like Lord Sapphire and this person, other people have accumulated karma, so why is mental care my responsibility? There was a slight surprise.
‘This is why psychiatry needs to develop…’
?….?
I touched my forehead while listening to the damn little boy fidgeting. There were so many people, including me, who needed a psychiatrist.
“I don’t think you lack self-control.”
However, there are no doctors here, let alone research in that field. I felt sorry for that fact and led Lord Zrya into the garden.
“It is difficult for anyone to suppress emotions and show understanding in front of Marshal Cheolcheon.”
There is no particular reason that led me to the garden. If a person is stuck in a lab and spends 12 hours watching the incomprehensible conversations of wizards and the faces of their enemies, they will naturally become buried in anger. At times like this, I had to take a walk, get some fresh air, and look at some green sprouts to let go of my emotions.
“However, if you feel like you can’t control your emotions, I would like to suggest that you move to a space for a while and take a breather, like now.”
“I monitor…”
“Isn’t this a situation where all you have to do is achieve your goal? “There are not only people around you who are being monitored, but there are also other people around you.”
But I forgot for a moment that this is the north. Looking at the white garden, I wondered for a moment whether going out to this cold place was the right choice. If it’s cold… will your thoughts become narrower?
“And as I said, they are making great efforts to end the fight against the demons. This does not mean that your mission is light, but it does mean that they also deserve respect.”
“…sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize to me. “I didn’t suffer any harm.”
Still, I’ll be alert. I hoped so and took him out. Two wisps of white breath rose.
“On the contrary, if anyone has to apologize, it should be me.”
At the same time, I repeated in a similar form the conversation I had with Lord Sapphire. Like Lord Sapphire, the person who said there was no need for me to apologize ended up bowing under my pressure under the guise of a request.
“I was a traitor’s squire.”
However, his reaction was very different, as was his lowered head.
While Sir Sapphire expressed his affirmation to me with a firm expression, Sir Zrya brought up a different story instead of answering.
“I studied swordsmanship with him and learned how to behave as a knight from him… That’s how I spent my time.”
But instead of blocking that attitude, I quietly listened. Perhaps because of the cold, Sir Zrya’s body began to tremble little by little.
“I respected you. “I really respected you…”
Without saying a word, I took off my coat and wrapped it around his body. Since he was shorter than me and had lost a lot of weight compared to before, I was able to cover it up enough.
“I liked it so much that I promised myself that if I were to become a knight, I would become that kind of knight…”
But still, the world was cold. The falling water droplets froze and became snowflakes.
“…You asked me to help you make sure that the traitor does not interfere and that this journey ends successfully.”
When will this snowflake melt? Will it melt in this cold land? I saw the young knight wiping his eyes and raising his head.
“I will definitely do it. “I won’t make that mistake again.”
Snowflakes will be fine even if they don’t melt. New snow… or the blowing wind will cover it and send it far away. Because it will be forgotten like that.
“okay. “I believe it.”
I slowly watched the young knight’s performance.
* * *
“Lord Zrya decided to rest for about an hour.”
“You don’t have to tell me everything.”
“I’m just telling you because I wanted to tell you. “You can spill it.”
“….”
I looked at the person whose fingertips were still for a moment and then turned my gaze in the other direction.
“This is a snack I bought to eat. “Why don’t you eat it?”
“These are things that unclean people rush to mess with. “I don’t want to put something unhygienic like that in my mouth.”
“Right. “Then next time, I will buy yours separately.”
“…as you please.”
Have I learned that even if I refuse, I will still buy it? She threw away the choice with a sigh. It was a smart move.
“What about the review of the bait?”
“The effect was good, but it was too good.”
I dryly described the scene in which demons came rushing in. After hearing everything, Gye-myeong thought for a moment before giving his answer.
“It looks like you’ve given up half of your control over the devil. No, in this case, did they let it go?”
“What does it mean?”
“The concept of obedience is vague to demons. The overwhelming power of higher beings of the same race and the fear that comes from that power. “We only react to those things.”
“I know that, but what does that have to do with Oman’s control?”
“Pride is not, strictly speaking, the devil. “It’s just an entity that can use demon energy and that fact can confuse its species with demons.”
Hmm, I think I heard that last time… Why is it coming up now? Ah?
“Just because you’re not one of the demons… does that mean your control isn’t perfect?”
“Accurate.”
“However, looking at your reaction, it seems like your control was originally perfect…”
“It wasn’t perfect. “It was just close to perfect.”
“If so, why is it even more incomplete now?”
“Oman is probably raising the power of his body with the magic circle of human sacrifice. However, to him, the power of the original body is not demonic energy.”
“…Can we understand this by saying that the devil’s identity as a devil has become blurred because he has strengthened powers that he does not use?”
“I never considered myself a devil in the first place, so it would be an error to say that my identity has faded, but… yes. “It would not necessarily be wrong to say that the point of being considered a devil has decreased and control has been lost as a result.”
“I see…”
I was relieved that my understanding was somewhat correct. At the same time, I also had that thought.
“Then we can wipe out all the demons by the day of the final battle?”
“It won’t be a bad thing. However, you are saying that you have memorized all the magic circles, right?”
Oh please. I suddenly felt like crying. That’s true, but it’s really too much.
“If you know the reality, infuse some magic into it. “I will try to improve the bait appropriately.”
“…What is this for?”
“It was decided that only potions made with one’s own magic could be consumed without side effects.”
“is it.”
If that’s the case, we should cooperate, so what can we do?
Thinking like that, I injected magical power into the object that the commandment gave me. Gradually, the sphere-shaped object began to emit a strong light little by little according to the magical power injected into it.
