Phew. Is this what you wanted to hide until the end?

I felt like I was on death row. Anxiety and restlessness cut him off.

Don't worry too much. Huh? Just listen to me. I'm not gonna hurt that kid.

It's horrible. I don't know if I've read the movement or if I've read my mind.

It was more difficult because I didn't understand how I was hurt.

Rubia stands beside you, holding an arm in her arms.

“Have you been? I missed you! ”

Isaac hisses.

The wife you've been hiding? Is this the commander who woke you up? You don't seem capable enough.

Say hello. Hey, what are you doing?

Are you trying to act like you don't know?

My body became tense and rigid.

For all I know, Rubia looks up at me from below with a big smile.

“I have some good news. ”

“Good. News? ”

Her laughter was painful.

This one came close to me possessed by a terrible spirit.

“Yube found a book for Kevin Ashton. ”

Did you say "Cabin" or "Ashton"?

Isaac mutters in a strange tone.

What's that supposed to mean? ’

But there was no response from Isaac.

He is silent, as if he had just had a deep thought.

Suddenly, Rubia continues to talk to me, as he becomes incredibly agitated.

“You said you wanted to read all of Kevin Ashton's books! I can't give you any other help. You have to remember that! ”

Rubia smiled brightly in front of her.

I couldn't slow down.

I don't know when and how my hands will break Rubia and pull her throat out.

The moment Isaac committed murder.

The scourge of killing Rubia myself begins.

“Are you here?”

Yube, who followed you out the back, greets you.

If Isaac starts to bludgeon us, so does the fate of this mortal.

“This is a book by Kevin Ashton. I hear you're looking for him.

His red leather-bound cover looks pretty old.

Yube is also a great human being.

Giving this kind of favor for suffering you've never seen before is impossible without confidence in your intuition.

Every human I meet would have been bankrupt long ago if I had done this kindness to my tribe.

Anyway, there was no reason to skip the book to Cabin Ashton.

Dolls that emulate people

Below the cover is the name of Kevin Ashton.

“I'd appreciate it if you could take what's in there with you. ”

There was a slight bulge.

When I opened the book, it opened as if it were natural. There were two black cards overlaid with omens.

The card he showed Yube was inserted with a card he handed in.

“I'll step back, then. Please come see me whenever something happens. ”

Yube stepped back.

“Would you like to read a book first? ”

Rubia grabs my left arm and bites.

“Let's postpone that for a moment. ”

While Isaac is watching, I don't know how to read Kevin Ashton's book.

I wanted to give him less information about me.

I feel like I've already entered the irreversible path.

“What, are you thinking? Are you having second thoughts? ”

Rubia suddenly asks.

Did you know that?

I'm thinking about it.

Rubia.

I'm sorry?

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Isaac doesn't seem to know how to talk to her. Or maybe he's pretending he didn't hear.

Anyway, there's nothing Rubia can do about it if you tell her what happened here.

It's better not to know.

Rather poison if you know.

“Let's go to the fortress. ”

“Wow, you know Lord Grasmear, don't you? ”

Rubia's eyes widen.

Normally, you would have laughed at Rubia's naive reaction, but we can't right now.

“This is so amazing. You haven't been up in days! He must have been very important to you when you were alive. ”

Damn it.

Isaac will hear you.

“How I woke you up with my strength. There's a real beginner's luck! ”

Now it's too late to shut Rubia up. I didn't even want to think about how it would be used.

I decided to focus on getting into the Resistance as soon as possible.

“You're back!”

The butler welcomes me.

The lord, who received a call from the guard who jumped out of nowhere, will soon follow.

“But this one? ”

The lord points to Rubia and asks.

He said as if he had only spit out one word.

‘Protect it. As much as possible. Safely. ”

Me?

Just listen to me for a second.

Rubia looks at me and rolls her eyes, nodding as if she knew.

The butler guides Rubia.

After that, the maids and guards followed.

Paradoxical.

I'm the one those guards are supposed to be fighting for that protection.

They don't stand a chance.

If Isaac had his way, not only would Rubia be dead, but the entire castle.

Can I stop it?

At least a little distance from Rubia relaxes me.

“May I have a look around the castle for a moment? ”

I asked the lord.

“Of course! I'll get you a guide right away! ”

“I don't need a guide. ”

All you have to do is know the direction. You refuse to follow the butler, and start walking in the opposite direction to Rubia.

It was then.

Hey, you fell asleep again. I told you to cooperate. What's so ugly about it? Yeah? Yeah.

Were they waiting for Rubia to disappear?

The quiet Isaac reappears.

What do you want?

I cannot lose Rubia in vain again in this life. Killing her with my hands will never happen.

Even the worst.

It's better to cooperate actively with Isaac and take your chances slowly.

I wonder what he's thinking.

He speaks to me in a manner that offends me.

I'll give you a lip.

At this point, whatever she is, you have to pretend like she's okay.

Ash is my weakness, so don't tell anyone about it.

Then you might not know it as well as I do, unless you're an excellent observer. Look at it now. Everyone in the castle knows that Rubia is your weakness.

‘Say what you want. ’

Once again, as if thinking about it for a moment, the unspoken one asked me in a serious tone.

Kevin Ashton. What's your relationship with Kevin Ashton?

That's an unexpected question.

I'm not asking how you know Kevin Ashton or why you like Kevin Ashton's book.

What kind of relationship?

I don't know what to say.

But he already seems to be asking with a strong heart condition.

"I told you I like writers. ’

Telling the truth is only a weakness.

Of course Isaac doesn't believe it.

Tell me how you know Kevin Ashton. Then I promise I won't hurt that girl.

I laughed.

Fool me once or twice.

After seeing the destruction of the Cult.

It was Isaac who swore an oath to Malphas and strangely set me up.

Humans who have been deceiving death and suspended from the sarcophagus for hundreds of years.

Are you doubting me? I haven't even begun to cheat yet.

‘I admit that mind-reading spells are great. ’

I don't have to lie to you at all. Should I ask him to bring the dog back? Yeah? Yeah.

I can feel the power in my hand with the sword.

I looked around.

Luckily, no one's been bitten.

But if Isaac screams, the guards will come running to me right away and tell me where Rubia is.

It was still daylight, but it felt dark everywhere.

Don't kill yourself. It won't be easy to get dizzy.

‘Fine, I'll tell you everything. But can you also tell me why you're asking me about Kevin Ashton? ’

If I have to say it anyway, I have to get some information.

Just in case I see Isaac again next time.

Isaac overwhelms me in both knowledge, abilities and psychological warfare.

Honestly, it's hard to handle in one lifetime.

Still, it's a pity to leave this one rotting inside the sarcophagus and not even go near Grasmear's tomb.

Well, that's about it.

Isaac surprisingly accepted it.

You may think you are overwhelmingly advantageous.

Of course, that's what happens when you're very honest.

I didn't want to lie anyway.

"Kevin Ashton. You read a book he wrote. Wisdom rises gradually:

Wisdom? You should read the book to gain wisdom. What the hell are you talking about?

Isaac is still holding the knife steady.

It's not a lie.

I know my answer is true in my gut.

But it doesn't make any sense what you're talking about.

Every time I read Kevin Ashton's book, no matter what.

My wisdom rises by one. ’

Huh?

‘Every time I read Kevin Ashton's book, there is a translucent blue window. ’

Blue. A spear?

‘Wisdom rises.

That's why I'm looking for Kevin Ashton's book. ’

Ha ”. Hahaha. Kuhahaha?

Isaac bursts into a gloomy mineral.

But that smile was never hostile.

? Heheheheh. Try some more.

Do you think I'm crazy? ’

It didn't matter.

I am answering him without any lies.

I took Isaac away from Rubia for a while, and I didn't care if I had to take care of him.

But what he said to Isaac was completely unexpected.

Everything about you now.!

Are you saying it looks blue in your eyes?

‘To some extent. ’

Kuhahahaha??. The one who recognizes the holes in the ! Cabin Ashton has prepared a ventriloquist like this. What the hell is he?

Isaac goes on like crazy.

You're being ridiculous.

I know a lot of things that I just woke up from, circuits I wouldn't have carved if I hadn't met you. This will explain everything.

You feel Isaac's madness accumulating. He snorts in his head like crazy.

What are you trying to say? ’

He was silent for a moment.

It was not a dark and heavy silence.

It was such a strange silence when something tightly bound began to become blocked.

He is silent for a long time, and speaks quietly.

I have a theory.
