I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

199 – Various Ways – 3

The hope-filled atmosphere just before had completely disappeared.

In the room filled with heavy air, it was the old owl who opened his mouth.

“I’ve definitely broken the seal. And yet… I thought there was another curse within the curse… Even more powerful…”

It was a confused expression. Old Man Breath, who looked at him helplessly, asked in a tone full of bitterness.

“I see… Then what is the method?”

“I can’t say anything right now. All I can do is research…”

Like finding out that a demon’s heart was needed to unseal the soul.

Elizabeth’s shoulders twitched as she sat next to me when I said that another curse holding her soul was preventing Jung Soo-yeon from coming to her senses.

I could see tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was quite sad that she had to go through an endless wait again. In the end, her tears fall drop by drop from her bowed head. While taking care of her, Yuchoa looked around her. Everyone had a serious expression on their faces.

“…I’m sorry that I only came to congratulate you like this.”

“Oh, no.”

Everyone was taken aback by his powerless appearance, which was not like old man Breath. He also looks quite tired, probably because his expectations have collapsed.

“Let me rest… I’ll get up first.”

Once he staggered up and saw him go out, Old Owl let out a big sigh.

I told Choa Yoo and Siyeon Jin to take Elizabeth out. As the girls helped Elizabeth out, the old owl looked at her inside with pitiful eyes, turning white, probably from the aftermath of her vomiting blood earlier.

“If there is another seal on your mother, you just have to break that seal.”

“Yes. If that happens, the imprisoned soul will be completely settled in the body. But thanks to the demon’s heart being used to break the first seal, the body is still alive. It’s fortunate. Effort was definitely worth it.”

However, the important Jeong Su-yeon did not wake up. I shook my head at him, who blamed himself for his shortcomings.

“This alone is great.”

“Well… I couldn’t make it through in the end… I feel sorry for my friend.”

Feeling bitter, he looked at me and shook his head.

“You should also go back and rest. Didn’t you come right after clearing the black dungeon?”

After saying that, he sat down and closed his eyes. Looking at him, I opened my mouth.

“Do you know about angel feathers?”

“An angel’s feather? Isn’t that the essence of power that only angels can create? I heard that it is no longer available in this world…”

Surprised, he licked his bitter taste.

“If there is a sacred object with that much power… Yes. Maybe it’s possible. I’ll have to do some research.”

After saying hello to the troubled man, I came out.

The expressions of the servants and heroes of the Breath family outside did not look good. Well, that’s what everyone expected.

As I passed them and went back to the mansion, Choa Yoo and Siyeon Jin greeted me.

“What about Elizabeth?”

“I heard you want to rest a little…”

“Is this really the end…?”

“That’s not it.”

“… Huh?”

“Do you know anything?”

“Um… Yes.”

Because there is no need to hide it. I told Yoo Cho-ah and Jin Si-yeon about the efficacy of the angel feathers I knew.

“There is something called an angel’s feather. It is filled with the holy power of an angel… I think I can get rid of the remaining curses with it.”

“Oh. I’ve heard of it. But I heard the last angel’s feather was used in 2000…”

“Wait a minute. Angel feathers… Are you thinking of Azazel?”

An angel who fell from the sky by himself. Meet the angel you are looking for at the association and receive the angel’s feather. I nodded my head at Yoo Choa’s words.

“Of course, I’ve only seen it on record, so I don’t know if it’s real or not. The possibility is high, but… So let’s keep it quiet for the moment, Elizabeth or the old man.”

“Hmm… That would be better.”

I think it’s even more so when you think of the disappointment the two showed earlier. So they both agreed to my story.

“Hmm… That’s probably the only possibility right now. The association says they’re looking for Azazel… I wonder if there’ll be an answer sooner or later.”

Hearing Jin Xiyeon’s murmur, Yuchoa snapped her fingers.

“If you need divine power, wouldn’t it be better to enlist the help of the Vatican?”

“Well. If it was something that could be solved through the priests of the Vatican, I think it would have been solved already.”

If it was old man Breath, he could have summoned the Pope. Even so, the fact that she can’t wake up must mean that her human divine power alone can’t solve it.

“Ha… I bet. Elizabeth… Must be very sad, by the way, John. Why don’t you go and comfort her?”

“I will. What are you guys going to do?”

“For now, I’m going to return to the academy.”

“I need to go to the family.”

I see. Then you should do that

“Tomorrow, I will also return to the academy. See you then.”

“Is Elizabeth all right?”

“I’ll get over it.”

Yes. Elizabeth would wake up right away if given time.

I headed to the gate with them concerned.

I returned to the mansion and stood in front of her door.

From nob le mt l. co m

Now. Then let’s go in.

“Elizabeth. I’ll go in.”

“…Yes…”

I opened the door listening to the helpless answer. It was a bright and tidy room. Elizabeth, who was sitting on the bed inside, greeted me with an awkward smile.

“You’re here…?”

“Yes.”

“…Haa. It’s a pity. I wanted to introduce you to my mother.”

Her heart ached because she tried to smile. I went over to the bed, sat down next to her, held her hand, and then Elizabeth slowly leaned against me.

“…Hope. It’s really scary. To make people like this all at once…”

“That’s how it was originally. Even so, people can’t let go of hope. And isn’t your mother better than before?”

“That’s right…”

I wondered if I should tell you about the angel’s feather because he looked weaker than usual.

Um… Should I? Should I not

To me who was thinking for a while, Elizabeth smiled softly and whispered.

“Um. Can you hug me? Let me lean on you a little… Then… I’ll try my best again…”

Yes. If you can give strength to it, you can hug it as much as you like. I put Elizabeth on her lap and hugged her tightly.

“…Sigh. More. Harder…”

She strained her arm. He hugged her slender waist tighter. Her other hand ran through her thick, soft golden hair.

“…Tell me it’s okay…”

“It’s okay. No problem. Mother will definitely wake up.”

“…I just asked for it to be okay.”

“You were expecting more, right?”

“…Although it is.”

Elizabeth murmured and put her face on the nape of her neck. A warm breath touches her flesh. Elizabeth slowly lifted her face and looked straight at me as she felt the breath that was not unpleasant, but rather warm.

“Will you kiss me?”

I didn’t need an answer. She just snatched her lips as she faced her curled face straight up.

She let out a big sigh when the brief kiss on her side was over.

“Haaa!!”

And spirited. After her short shout, she raised her hand and smacked herself in the face a few times, opening her eyes.

Her beautiful blue eyes, which had been immersed in sadness until just now, were shining again as before.

“Okay! I’m done dying!!”

“Oh?”

“Everyone is cheering me on! And no one told me to give up! Grandpa Owl said he would find a way! Then I just keep trying!!”

“Ohhh…”

As expected, it is Elizabeth. She seemed refreshed, or rather, refreshed, but she was still radiant.

“In that sense, let’s kiss one more time!”

“Yes. Yes.”

This time it wasn’t a short kiss unlike before. She hugged me tightly with her arms and legs and kissed me deeply to feel me even a little more. Her tongue to tongue, saliva to saliva, they feel each other.

When that skinship started getting stronger.

– Smart.

“Elizabeth. Are you okay? Come on in.”

“Ah, ah! Yes! Wait a minute!”

The heated atmosphere subsided in an instant. Elizabeth hurriedly came down from me, looked in the mirror, straightened her posture, and opened the door.

“Okay. Let’s talk a minute… Um? Why are you here?”

“hahahaha. I want to comfort Elizabeth.”

“Yes? Hmm… Yes. Thank you!!”

Old Man Breath smiled broadly and patted my shoulder.

“You don’t know how grateful I am to have a good person like you by our Ellie’s side! I hope you will help me a lot in the future!!”

“You mean…?”

“That means we can’t give up like this. I’ve already found a way, but can’t I find another way?!”

With a hearty laugh, he looked at Elizabeth. Is it because of that strong gaze? She covered her lips.

“Ohohohohohohoho!! That’s right! That’s the Taylor family!!”

“hahahahaha!! That’s right! My granddaughter should come out like that!!”

What a great grandson.

Yes. If that’s the case, I can’t give up either.
