“Hurry! Couldn’t have gotten that far! Be sure to find it!”

banquet hall.

The Knights of the Black Ravens were busy moving, looking for Saten.

Lennon, the head of Sicily, was more annoyed by the mess up the party than Saten’s worries.

Lennon resolutely shouted at the moving knights.

“Move. The kidnapper wouldn’t have gone too far. Find saten right now. It is the name of the knight commander.”

“Yes, yes…! I see. Lord!”

The knights set off to search for the kidnapper.

Lennon, who felt strange at Lennon’s words, asked.

“… father. I have a question.”

Lennon looked at his son Lenen with an expressionless expression.

I have a question in the midst of such a busy schedule.

He replied with an annoyed look.

“I don’t have time, so speak quickly.”

“… I wonder why you think Saten was kidnapped. Could it be that the demon escaped? He doesn’t even know the grace we raised him.”

“Do you seriously think that Saten escaped, Rennen? If so, you still don’t know the devil.”

“What… ?”

“The devil never runs away. A tool knows no freedom.”

tool.

It is the name of Saten, which is used as the family’s magic warehouse.

Saten, who never felt free, would never have run away on his own.

Gazoo Lennon thought.

“In that sense, Rennen. Do you think magic golems are people?”

“… no. A magic golem is just a tool that moves with magic stones. Absolutely not.”

“Then, isn’t that kid a ‘tool’ too. It’s just a tool that doesn’t even feel emotions. He is no different from a magic golem.”

“… ”

If it is a person who feels emotions.

Saten without feeling is not human.

Sicilia Lennon’s eyes as they spoke were filled with hatred.

“It’s a tool I had because it was useful, but I want it to come back quickly. Indeed, I don’t know who stimulated the devil’s curiosity. When the time is right, the child will return soon.”

“… That’s correct. father.”

Renen agreed with him.

The child would definitely come back.

Saten lived without knowing freedom, and her home is here in Sicily.

They firmly believed that the tool that left the house would go through the harshness of the outside and come back again.

“I’ll have to punish you when you come back.”

And, they didn’t even think that they would regret this moment later.

***

Sicilia Saten, the wizard of the Hero party.

The name of the girl in my arms.

I don’t know what her past was like, but I was sure of one thing.

“Sicilia Saten.”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Should I be afraid of you?”

obviously crazy

Even if the screw came off, it came out firmly.

The kidnapper is in front of you, but he doesn’t tremble.

The hero Luna, who is now lying in the room, was also kidnapped by me and trembled.

Perhaps this wizard was unaware of the emotion of fear, he felt the cool breeze and was held carefreely.

He even urged me by tapping my arm, as if to move faster.

‘What kind of past does he have?’

Luna is a villager A.

Hare is a thief in the alley.

What kind of life did a wizard lead to have such a personality?

let me ask you one more time

“Good family, looks, talent. You wouldn’t be envious of anyone, did you want to run away?”

“Hmm, do you think I would have lived a happy life?”

“When you grow up in a wealthy family, most of you grow up to be good people. Am I wrong?”

“That’s a prejudice. A very serious prejudice.”

After saying that, Saten looked at the scenery again.

She was still expressionless.

She was a woman who had no clue.

‘Still, I knew two things.’

The first is that she didn’t lead a very happy life.

When I saw what was called prejudice, I was able to understand that information.

And, second.

emotion.

Saten has no emotions.

‘Are you sure. Saten has no feelings.’

It would be more suitable for you to have an empty soul.

It was a short time, but I couldn’t find any negative emotions such as fear, fear, anger or sadness in her.

The same goes for positive emotions like joy and happiness.

Even when he smiled, it looked like he was using his muscles forcibly.

It was an unnatural acting, it felt like I was wearing a mask.

by the way.

“Now, this is enough.”

widely.

I took off my invisibility and stopped my way.

Saten saw me stopped and looked up strangely and asked.

“What are you doing, kidnapper? Because you have to kidnap me. Do you even remember the face? If you don’t want to be left behind, you’ll have to kill me unconditionally, right?”

“No, not like that.”

“yes?”

“There are those who followed us nearby.”

tailing.

At first, I thought it was a tracking group of knights.

However, the subtle atmosphere was different from the standard articles.

As far as I can remember, the guys with this vibe…

grimore.

It was clear that they were worshiping the Demon King.

“The gloomy and unpleasant atmosphere has always been with you guys.”

“Hey, are you noticing this? Are you a bit quick-witted?”

“… I hate quick-witted guys.”

Two men descend from the roof to the floor.

One was skinny and had a frivolous voice.

The other had a huge body and a serious voice.

They were the ones I had heard of.

‘Was it swollen and dirty?’

I roughly remembered that.

“Recently, grimoires are active as a duo. I knew it by hearsay. Are you a first-class believer?”

“… Are you familiar with the details? So, you know we have this too, right?”

The frivolous man pulled out a book from his bosom.

A black magic book.

The name of the book is ‘Grimoire’. It was the same as the name of the organization.

If you use the grimoire, you can use the power bestowed by the demon king.

Well, it was a book with such ominous power.

“A first-class believer. up to the apostle above him. I knew from before that I had a grimoire.”

“Keuk-kuk, you know everything annoyingly? I can’t. you must die We’ll take the kid next to him.”

“I never said I would go. You are not at all curious.”

Saten fired hurtful words with an expressionless expression.

The reaction of the frivolous man who seemed to have a weak mentality came immediately.

“f*ck. It’s a warrior’s party, so I tried to take it easily. Are you talking too much to us? Is it because you’re young, or is it that you can’t grasp the situation?”

for a moment.

Hero party?

“… for a moment. Did you say it was a Hero party?”

“Kkeuk, he’s going to die soon, so I’ll let you know in particular. the woman you are holding Actually, it’s the wizard of the warriors party in the distant future~ But, our demon lord said that the warriors party would kill him? Then, we followers must either kill her or send her away somewhere. Demon King is our god.”

“… Suu. Do not spread information.”

“What’s up, we’re going to kill it with our own hands. Rather than dying unknowingly, it’s more comfortable to die knowing, keukkeuk.”

..Do you think it can kill me?

A smirking frivolous man.

name is suu.

It’s a pretty name that doesn’t suit a frivolous face.

From their point of view, I seemed to feel like a dick on the outside.

“Actually, this is how it is treated. It makes me feel bad.”

“What would you do if you were in a bad mood~? Are you going to fight?”

The two men drew their weapons from the grimoire.

A frivolous man would have a long rapier, and a serious man would have a huge greatsword.

After all, is it tungtungi and visil?

One concept was well defined.

“You guys are playing as you are.”

“… that kid I will die and send it to the Demon King.”

“Wait, before that. What demon king do you worship?”

“I worship ‘Grid’, the demon king of greed. It is also someone you will meet soon.”

… I’m not the one who worships the traitor.

It’s a pity, but these guys worship other demon lords.

If that’s the case, even if you kill them, there’s nothing to dig out.

‘Among the 5 Demon Kings, he is the Demon King of Greed… Annoyingly, he knows about the Warriors’ Party.’

The other demon lords don’t get along well, so there won’t be any exchange of information.

I spoke arrogantly to the guys running towards me with rapiers and great swords.

“I know very well that you guys are looking for a Hero party. But, it looks like you haven’t read the revelation. Do you remember what was written on the back of the grimoire book?”

“I don’t know what that is!!”

you won’t remember

That revelation is more backwards compatible than Minerva’s ability, and people don’t read through the pages of a book.

Read at readwn.com

Just letting you know that the wizard is here.

Their future is unpredictable.

The tip of the sword came into my field of vision, and I confirmed Minerva’s problem.

[Two grimoires aiming for Saten, the wizard of the Hero party. Even the goddess Minerva hates these two~ What will Lee Jun-woo do?]

[One. Defeat it with a sword.]

[2. Defeat it with magic.]

Maybe it’s because Minerva doesn’t like them, so he gave up the problem very easily.

I postponed the answer and clicked twice.

The reason was, of course, for Saten behind me.

I also wanted to show her magic, and in fact, I was much more confident in magic than in swordsmanship.

“Sicilia Saten, did you say you were a genius wizard?”

“Yes, people call me that.”

“okay? The genius I know was greater than you.”

She is.

The woman who taught me magic was a genius.

The remnants of her magic that remained in her memory slowly rose.

A free-spirited, over-the-line and efficient magic circle.

It is drawn on the drawing paper of the head, and a magic circle rises into the air.

Right now, I was using the same magic skills as the girl in my memory.

‘Be sure to live, Jun. I, you…’

The end of her blue hair flying and trying to speak.

Along with that vague feeling, magic power wrapped around my fingertips.

Then, it moved smoothly into the magic circle in the air.

A gentle wind brushed through my fingertips, and a magic circle was manifested.

“Disappear without a trace. Lonely dust.”

saa-

The wind that emerged from the magic circle brushed and wrapped around the two bodies.

They didn’t realize it, but the body touched by the wind was turning into powder and disintegrating like dust without a trace.

The end of Grimoire, who did not even notice his own death.

Wizard Saten watched the scene blankly.

“This is how you use magic.”

5 seconds until they all disintegrate.

However, the time Saten was looking at the space where they had disappeared was well over 5 minutes.

blankly.

Whether she was analyzing or recalling her memories, she just stared at the spot.

In the meantime, I couldn’t seem to get an answer, so I turned my head and asked.

“A while ago, they said there was a genius greater than me.”

“yes.”

“Where is he?”

“It’s dead.”

“is that so.”

Saten had no reaction to the news that he was dead.

My heart ached a little as I spit out that sound myself.

still.

I held out my hand and said to Saten.

“If you’re curious about the magic, I can tell you.”

“Teach me magic? Why?”

“just.”

“…yes?”

“Because you are a wizard.”

A sentence with many meanings.

Because he’s a wizard of the Hero party.

Because you can perfectly learn her traces.

The last trace she left on the world is that magic…

Saten doesn’t know what that means.

He looked at my hand with suspicious eyes.

“If you teach me, I’ll try to learn.”

Soon, he took my hand.

It was the moment when the third ally of the hero party joined.

***

party.

“You must be having fun at the party..? There must be many nobles who are prettier than me, and you might forget us… What should I do…? What if he abandons us, Luna…? what should we do..? what should we do..?”

-That, stop!! Let’s get some sleep hare..!! What time is it now..!!

“12:56. It’s been 4 hours and 34 minutes since you left… You haven’t returned yet…”

– I said it’s time to sleep… ! Stop because you’re not interested..! stop it..!!

“… Luna doesn’t care about you. So, don’t have it forever. Luna is a cheeky child who doesn’t know grace.”

Heh, I’m not playing with you.

A delusion toward Lee Jun-woo that lasted for three hours.

Luna, who had listened to everything, was finally able to regain her freedom after Hare left.

“Mister, when are you coming?”

Ha-re headed to the living room, his nest, to wait for Lee Jun-woo.

The whole place was filled with the smell of Lee Jun-woo, so I was able to get a strange sense of stability.

“I feel at ease… Good mood… ”

While he was away, Hare cleaned up on his own, so the living room was on the clean side.

The sofa where Jun-woo Lee sleeps.

Hare felt the warmth and enjoyed the smell of his body.

“Hehe… ”

I wish I could live happily like this for the rest of my life…

Hare felt like he would not have any free time, even if he died right now.

It was when Ha-re was wasting time looking at Jun-woo Lee in the old days in the picture frame on the desk.

squeak–

The sound of the door opening rang out.

“uh? I think you’re here..!”

In response to the sound of the door being opened, Hare, excited, jumped and ran.

To welcome Junwoo Lee to the party!

“Uncle..! You’re here..!”

But.

“… mister? What is he next to..?”

kuung-

Hare felt as if a large boulder was crushing her heart.

Two men and women holding hands.

It was because Lee Jun-woo, who returned from the party, was not alone.
