"I asked because it was an unscheduled visit." Despite the tense atmosphere, Ionia lightly brushed off Mihail's question. But that didn't ease the tight air filling the reception room. Mihail smoothly curled up the corners of his mouth. "Ah, is that so?" It wasn't really just an ‘Ah, is that so?’ I could tell even just from his voice. As expected, Mihail continued, as if to say it wouldn't be fun if he dragged it out. "Are you worried that I might stubbornly hold on, saying I'll take…-

Knock knock. That's when the intruder arrived. "I seem to have interrupted a good time." Without a hint of apology, Mihail knocked on the open door with one hand. For reference, we had gotten three rooms at the inn, and I was using the middle room. I had no say in the decision, and after the two of them had a battle of wills, this is how the room assignments ended up. Anyway. I had been lying face down until now, but at Mihail's appearance, I raised my body. "Sir Andantino." Maybe…

Whoosh… Smoke carrying a bitter sigh flowed into the air and dispersed faintly. Staring at it blankly, Cyril put the cigar back in his mouth once again. Damn it. It's bitter. It felt like a huge hole had been created in the middle of his body, as if his heart had been carved out whole. A cold wind kept blowing through that gap, driving a person mad. "Why did you just let her go?" Jacques, who had been hiding in the background of the beach, revealed his presence as he took a step closer.…

"Hmm." Mihail, who was leaning against the wall observing the situation, slowly stroked his chin. Seeing that, I bowed my head deeply as if I had become a criminal. Would Mihail also ask me to go to Sahar? If I can't answer this time too, will he be disappointed in me as well? I don't know why I'm worrying like this. But I had to admit. I was being swayed by the heroes' reactions more than I expected. "What does it say?" At that moment, Mihail opened his mouth. The question wasn't…

Maybe it's my fault. As I traced my memory back to find the starting point of the problem, I reached that conclusion. I might have stimulated their competitive spirit. A week ago. <Your Grace, this...> Grabbing Claude's sleeve was the mistake. I don't know if it was Johann or Mihail, but someone had sneakily hidden the newspaper in the corner of the shelf. When I found it and grabbed Claude, who was prowling like a hyena looking for the newspaper... Pop. With a small sound,…

Of course, I know too. I know that I haven't done anything well either. But I was originally destined to disappear from this world! Unlike me, you guys were supposed to save the world with Aveline! I was getting anxious. I had come this far with the audacious plan to live comfortably on my own, to spend my days filled with things I liked, to start a life for myself... Why is my heart so uneasy now? It was frustrating. I wanted to turn away. But my heart wouldn't listen to…

For the three heroes, politeness was something they could only show as much as a drop of ant pee, traded for their pride. And that pride was as precious as life. Yet, to ask them to be polite to a mere guild master? Impossible. They couldn't do it, even if it killed them. "Do you want to die?" The first to react was Claude, the most hot-tempered of the three. His blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent as he clenched his fist tightly. It was an intimidating presence that would make a…

"…I like Ponitan." Finally, from my difficult-to-open mouth, my thoughts as Seraphina came out. Now, let's see if they'll actually consider my opinion. ...As soon as I thought that, I gave up. Johann and Mihail's expressions twisted unpleasantly. Of course. In the end, if they don't like it, they'll do whatever they want, right? But what I really want is to stay here. "I know you won't even listen, but I thought I'd say it." Saying that, I smoothly twisted my wrists around.…

My heart felt prickly yet afloat, as if soaked in sweet sparkling water. I quietly looked down at Johann, who was resting his head on my stomach. Then I slowly slipped my hand through his glossy silver hair. Rustle. The hair wrapping around my fingers felt soft and pleasant. It was odd. Johann is the Emperor. And I'm a commoner. Even though I'm a special existence known as a purifier, the wall of status in this world doesn't easily disappear. But the strange thing was that I couldn't…

If I had to pick one of the good things about living by the sea, I would answer without hesitation: the sound of the waves. Crash, crash. Swoosh... It's a sound that never gets tiring, no matter how much you listen to it. Listening endlessly seemed to clear my complicated mind. "Ah, it's nice." Beyond the horizon, the dawn was breaking, slowly pushing away the darkness. The deserted beach was quiet and free. Even though the three heroes had invaded Ponitan, at this moment, I was…
