"When you say chalice... are you talking about the 'Chalice of Valera'?" After staring at him suspiciously for a moment, I asked, and the man nodded repeatedly. "Th-that's right." He extended his trembling hand toward me. And his gradual approach was just like a scene from a horror movie. The man who had been approaching step by step suddenly came at me as if to grab my shoulder. "That chalice...! You must break it. Break that chalice. Otherwise, I will..." "Wait—!" I shouted…-

So we decided to perform the ritual in the central square at dawn tomorrow. "Dawn is when the gods' power is at its strongest." Marvin nodded as he spoke. "In the meantime, I should be writing the research report. Let's go, Raku. We have a lot to do." "Shut up! Didn't I tell you not to order me around! I want to stay by the goddess's side......" "Goodbye, Raku." "Yes, goddess!!" Raku was dragged away by Marvin to write the report. As I waved to him being pulled away by the scruff of…

At that time, the residents of Kelston were showing the results of their special training. They had perfectly completed the reading of the new script that Lize had brought. "Khan, well done, acting well done...." "Ugh... as expected of Khan. You were the best...." Receiving the admiring gazes of the residents, Khan smiled shyly. "Thank, you. I'm happy, that my hard work, paid off." "You have something beyond that. Not everyone can become an actor just by practicing. Miss Lize will praise you…

A moment of silence passed. I asked once more. "Spirit, if you are here, please mark the 'Yes' side." Nothing happened. "Madam...." Marvin looked at me with tense eyes. That's when it happened. Drr-rrk— The branch I was holding slowly began to move. Swish, swish— Then it circled the 'Yes' side. "......!!!" Looking at the clearly drawn circle, I turned to Marvin and Raku with a bright smile. "Marvin! Raku! We did it!" But somehow, the reactions of the two were…

"Dig more ground? When you're just sitting there without lifting a finger...!!" "Raku, I told you. I'm completely drained of both physical and mental energy right now." "Shut up!! If you want to dig, do it yourself! I've been working non-stop too!" "Don't shout. My patience is running thin...." "Are you threatening me—!" Raku shouted angrily and rushed toward Marvin, who was sitting exhausted on the ground. Raku's hand, stretched toward Marvin, stopped in mid-air. Marvin, who had been…

In the central square, Marvin, Raku, and I stood in front of the fountain, looking up at the statue on top for a long time. Unlike the fountain that was broken and damaged everywhere, the statue on top had somehow maintained its original form without breaking, despite being so rusted it had turned almost brown. "Indeed... looking at it now, it seems to match...!" Marvin muttered as he alternately looked at the paper with the image identified through necromancy and the crow statue. "How…

'Nothing seems to have changed on the surface....' The atmosphere of the village had clearly changed since my last visit. The most noticeable thing was that the streets were lit. 'I'm certain that when I last came, not a single house had lights on!' Now, light existed. "Oh...!" A woman walking from a distance noticed us and looked surprised. She pointed at me and shouted. "Miss... Lize...!" I thought her face looked familiar.... "And thank you for not being afraid of us... for…

"Are you alright." Arkle, who quickly grabbed my shoulder, looked down at me. "I'm sorry— ah...." As I hurriedly apologized in surprise, seeing his face made me blurt out something unexpected. "You're definitely the lead actor material." "Pardon?" Arkle looked puzzled, but I nodded with confidence. His looks were unrealistic—no, surrealistic—enough to humble even the top star actors I'd seen in my previous life. 'Not making someone with a face like this the protagonist...…

"Baron Clark has dark intentions toward you. It's at the level of obsession." "Kek—" I choked briefly on my tea at Martha's blunt statement. 'Fortunately, I didn't bring Arkle.' I was now in Martha's office, listening to the information she had obtained from Baron. I had braced myself, wondering if there would be information confirming that he was K, but her first words were already intense. "And as you suggested, I used his seal to request information from the imperial palace about the…

After being lost in thought for a while, Arkle finally spoke. "I'm sorry. I can't remember. It feels vaguely familiar, but....." "That's already something. It wouldn't be bad to investigate by tracing your movements." "Then I'll organize my activities from the past few years and deliver them to my sister." "Ah, could you give them to me instead? I'll review them first and then pass them on to Martha." "Understood." Arkle agreed readily. He seemed to think I was helping Martha as…
