“Are you threatening me?”

“That’s right, so let’s go to the place where my brother is..”

“Did you forget that your magic doesn’t work for me? I’m sure you said it yourself.”

“That’s.. “

Alois hesitated as if she had forgotten.

“I’m the one who can threaten you now, Alois Beth.”

“.....”

” Even now, I can pull a rope and accuse you of trying to kill me. It doesn’t have to be Alex.”

As I glanced at the rope, Alois raised her head and stared at me.

I then opened my mouth.

“Who would be at risk then?”

“.....”

“The Princess is a royal family member. She wouldn’t get a big punishment for trying to kill me. Even if you’re being blamed for it.’

Her feathers trembled shallowly.

It seemed that she was a bit embarrassed that I wasn’t scared out of my mind.

I didn’t stop talking.

“In the end, only Alois will be used as a dump and be eliminated by an assassin.”

“I know.”

“So don’t try to blackmail me. Don’t even try to fool me.”

Alois lowered her head.

She seemed to have judged that threats didn’t work for me.

After a while, she sighed deeply.

“I feel like I was seen through by you even before I tried anything.”

“I’ve grown up eating salt.*”

TL/N: Eating salt:?To live uncomfortably while being attentive to others’ remarks, behavior, and thoughts, and not expressing one’s thoughts.

Of course, it was my past life.

As I smiled bashfully while hiding my backstory, she flew away and came to my eyes.

“Since I made an oath, I have no choice but to obey the princess.”

“Are you saying there’s no way to break the oath?”

“It’s not like I don’t have any..”

“As expected, you left something behind, right?”

Alois’ beak wiggled when I asked with glistening eyes.

She groaned softly.

“Yes, I can’t trust the royal family in the first place. My family split up because of them.”

Then, she pecked his beak in the air as if she was throwing a tantrum.

I thought she would get angry if I said that she was cute, so I stayed still.

Alois said.

“Well, I won’t tell you the details.”

“Sure.”

Alois came close to me when I accepted it.

“At first, the princess didn’t seem like someone who would threaten me with her life just because she couldn’t kill you.”

“That’s true.”

Seirin had a great sense of pride as an imperial family. She was a dazzling person because of that.

So she wouldn’t even think of such a dishonorable attempt at self-destruction.

“The Princess is that kind of person.”

I don’t know if it’s still like that.

“There’s more to check than that.”

“Go ahead.”

“How did you know I had a younger brother? I haven’t told anyone so far.”

I stared at Alois.

I hesitated, not knowing what to explain first, but Daisy came in.

“Miss, it’s me.”

“Come on in.”

“This is the lady’s book right?”

Daisy presented me with [The Opponent of the Dragon].

I seemed to have forgotten it after looking at the contents of the book on the terrace earlier.

“Ah, yes.”

In fact, after watching the trailer, I was often checking to see if I could know when Kronos would come first.

Perhaps it was left behind.

Daisy said with a big smile as if she knew it.

“As expected, I was right that it’s your bible. You left it on the table. I’m familiar with the cover, so I brought it.”

“Thank you, Daisy.”

I was just about to get the book from Daisy.

Chirp chirp.

Alois cut in between me and Daisy, chirping loudly.

“Oh my, what kind of bastard?”

TL/N: I laughed at this LMAO.

Daisy shrank back in surprise.

Alois calmly sat down on the book and stared at the cover.

‘What’s wrong with her?’

Daisy tried to chase the bird while looking at it in bewilderment.

Chirp chirp!

Alois pretended to be a bird and evaded Daisy.

I quickly wrapped around the bird and said,

“It’s all right, it’s a bird I know.”

“What do you mean, a bird you know?”

“I fed it a few times and it came often.”

“Ahhh, that’s why it jumped at me. It’s asking for attention.”

Daisy just stopped moving.

Then she chuckled as if the bird was cute.

I quickly received the book and said.

“Thank you for bringing me the book.”

“It’s nothing. Do you perhaps need bird feed?”

“No, it’s already full.”

“Yes, then I’ll go out.”

Daisy nodded and walked away.

As soon as Daisy left, Alois rushed to the book in my hand.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s because I have something to check. Put it on the table.”

I put the book down on Alois’s pestering.

She stuck to the book and looked at it as if she stepped on it and asked if she asked.

She stepped on the book all of a sudden and stuck to the book, looking at it and examining it while I was watching her.

She pecked with his beak and kept trying to open the book to see what was inside. But the power of the little bird was not enough.

Alois looked up at me and asked.

“I’m sorry, but please open this book.”

I didn’t allow her to speak informally, but I let it go naturally.

Even in my previous life, when I was distracted somewhere, I would always say things like that.

I asked calmly without being angry.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s because it exudes a dangerous energy.”

“Energy?”

I paused at Alois’ words.

The fact that she, the character in the book, is overly interested in the book is suspicious but also feels dangerous.

‘Does she feel something because she’s a magician?’

Come to think of it, I had never taken the book out in front of her in my previous life.

By the time the subjugation team was formed, there was no need to memorize the book and listen to it.

On the day when I saw the love scene of Lexion and Seirin for no reason, I felt bad all day, I put it down even more.

Even if she has a good sense, she’s a character anyway.

Since she couldn’t see the main body of the book, I gently opened the book.

“Hmm.”

Alua flapped her wings and looked at the book.

Soon she came close to me and asked.

“Where did you get this book?”

She spoke formally again, perhaps escaping her thoughts.

“I bought it at the bookstore.”

“Are you fond of it?”

“It’s not like that.. .”

“Can you give it to me?”

“.. .. That would not be possible.”

Even if I want to give it anyway, it’ll come back.

As I grabbed the book, she approached me.

“Then tell me where you bought it.”

“I don’t remember.”

“You said it was a bookstore earlier.”

“Why are you interested in this book? It’s just an ordinary Bible.”

“But that.. ... I think there’s some spell on it. I want to make sure that it’s the energy of a magician.”

Alua wiggled her beak and muttered a little.

Something was suspicious, but I couldn’t give her the book.

I hid the book and tried to change the subject.

“Alois, more than that, your brother....”

That was then.

“Ugh!”

I thought that Alois let out a shallow moan and then suddenly fell to the floor helplessly.

“Alois!”

The red bird, who had come to her senses, trembled and got up from the floor with difficulty.

I quickly crouched down and put her on my palm.

“Alois, what’s wrong?”

“Haa, this princess is really..”

Alois opened her mouth with difficulty and her beak flinched as if she were biting.

“What’s going on?? What about the Princess?”

“I have to go back for now. I don’t have time to explain.”

“What?”

“I’m going to die if I keep dawdling!”

With the words, Alois flew away and disappeared.

‘What the hell is going on?..’

I stared at her in a daze and suddenly a cheerful alarm went off.

– Tiling!

The book was activated and the guide began.

[The main stage starts soon. Please visit Princess Seirin for a smooth development.]

‘What?’

Along with the guide, the location of the Seirin was stamped with coordinates.

– Please move quickly!

At the guide’s urging, I sighed deeply and left the room.

It seemed to be related to Alois’ hasty return.

* * *

Seirin nervously walked back and forth while waiting for Betty to come.

After a while, Betty came in.

“Did you find it?”

Betty nodded to Seirin’s question and stuck out something.

It was a book that Alois usually looked at when teaching magic.

PLEASE Read only at PM Translations

It was a kind of magic book that organized the techniques she developed over time.

“Alois Beth was away just in time, so it was easy to bring it.”

“Great job.”

“I’ll go and wait for Alois because she might come back.”

“Okay.”

Betty quietly left the room with those words.

Seirin took a deep breath in front of Alois’ book.

The hand that closed the book trembled.

‘I didn’t expect to steal.’

Seirin was unfamiliar with her recent changes.

She didn’t intend to do it this far, but when she kept coming to her senses, she was already working on it.

‘But there’s nothing I can do.’

Seirin rationalized herself and held the book tightly.

It was too late to stop her heart from swelling violently.

She already considered herself to be broken without any control.

In fact, she didn’t expect the plan to be this late.

Alois dragged on, saying that the technique did not work well.

It was not long ago that she decided to use a technique that she could call right in front of herself because she thought it was a matter of distance.

That’s why she invited Tiarozety to tea time, but something unexpected happened and it was messed up.
