It Is Getting Dark

17 – Impossible

“Fortunately, no one saw the situation except Katrina, me, and Baren who stopped you. There won’t be any big problems. The disturbance was resolved with something smoked by Lord Baren. So, never use that power within the territory.”

Force? What power?

That’s what Cassius said to me after he ordered people to clean up the wreckage and tidy up for a while.

“So, are you saying I made Lord Baren that way?”

“Yes, Sir Baren did his best to save you.”

“Then why is Katrina like that?”

“That b*tch…. After. Your consciousness was awakened by your brother’s magic. Since four magic circles are interlocked, there is no doubt that mana overload will occur.”

As if Cassius didn’t want to call him his younger brother even after he died, he dared to use the expression ‘your younger brother’.

At the same time, I got the feeling that Cassius was a bit proud of Katrina, even though she was talking about it.

I vaguely thought Cassius had changed his mind.

Of course, it was just my personal guess.

Still, the only thing I wanted Cassius to be a little harmful to Katrina was that the three of us were all family, but it wasn’t like the Three Kingdoms, it wasn’t good for the three of us to fight every single day.

The reason I saved Katrina is because I applied the Three Kingdoms system of the Three Kingdoms, but anyway.

I’m not homeless or Zhuge Liang, so I like that everyone is happy without fighting.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter if aggro isn’t attracted to me, but from my experience so far, when the two of them fight, I always get sparks.

Let’s get back to Katrina’s story.

“But how did I make Lord Baren that way? I don’t remember?”

“I don’t know. But Sir Baren knew it. Because Lord Baren was the first to notice your condition and deal with it.”

When Cassius finished speaking, he seemed to be wondering if there was something unpleasant about frowning.

“What do you think?”

“I just had a question. Sir Baren’s personality isn’t normal. It was more than I ever heard. It’s strange that someone like that kept you alive. I was wondering if you might be trying to find a weakness and tear something out.”

I thought after hearing Cassius’ words.

What Cassius said was plausible.

If it was Baren’s personality, he would have died a hundred times already.

That human saved me?

…Ah.

“Hartz.”

“Huh?”

Kassius listened to my self-talk and expressed his doubts.

“Oh, it’s just no big deal. I think I know why Lord Baren did that.”

Coming to think of it, he didn’t tell me about the Hartz location.

“So why is Lord Baren like that….”

In the middle of asking me if Cassius was curious.

Smart.

“Would you mind if I come in?”

Maria knocked on the door.

Tolerably, she would have finished talking to Cassius first, but she must have run beyond the door, and she could hear Maria gasping for breath.

Something might be urgent, so I apologized to Cassius and opened the door.

Cassius also seemed dissatisfied with his speech interruption, but he nodded calmly as if he thought it might be urgent.

“Maria, what is it?”

Maria seemed to be in such a hurry that she had sweat on her forehead.

“Lord Baren opened his eyes.”

“He opened it.”

“If the young master does not come within 3 minutes, they will kill you.”

Varen This man is still talking harshly.

“Lord Varen is a little playful.”

Maria’s words were not the end.

“Even if it’s not a joke, please tell me…. You did.”

“Knife. Good.”

I heard what Cassius had to say behind me and ran without even having time to reply.

* * *

“2 Minutes, 58 seconds, 2 seconds apart. Hey, get down.”

That was the first word I heard when I entered the room where Baren was staying.

If it’s too late for you to shake your hands while holding a pocket watch, you must have really tried to kill me.

“Sir Baren. Just calm down….”

“Shut up, if you open your mouth without my permission, I will pull your snout out.”

Looks like this human is quite angry.

Because I have no memory of that time. I don’t know what I did to Varen, but when I returned from talking to the observer, his condition was hard to say.

And since Cassius said that was what I did, Baren was bound to be angry.

But I’m not saying I don’t have anything to say.

Anyway, I don’t remember.

Besides, after I fell here, I got caught up in accidents that I didn’t do, so I didn’t go around dealing with them even though it wasn’t my fault.

Thinking about it makes me annoyed.

I made up my mind to say something to Baren.

I’m sorry to Sir Baren, but I feel unfair because I have no memory.

All I have to say is this.

I said that while looking straight into Baren’s eyes.

“Sir Baren!”

“What.”

Boom!

Varen hit the bed.

The bed was split in half.

I bent my knees as I lowered my head.

“As you said, I knelt down. I was going to say that.”

“I don’t think so. If there’s anything you want to say, say it. Listen.”

Baren said bloodily as he clenched his fists.

You just warned me that if you talk you’ll split like a bed, you idiot.

How do you say in this situation?

“Hmm…. Okay, I think I’m ready to talk now.”

Baren teased me a few more times, but when I kept denying it, he finally got to the point.

“For now, tell me where Hartz is. That way, even if there is a problem, I will just kill you.”

“Yes, yes, I have to tell you. hahahaha. Thinking about it. It took a long time.”

“Yes. It’s because some bastard is going crazy and attacks you.”

It didn’t happen because I tried to catch a witch you didn’t ask for before.

Thinking about it, I get pissed off again.

…Specially I put up with it.

I wonder if the trustees’ hearts were like this.

I sent the princess at most, but now she’s courting this bastard.

Before I fell here, I was pissing off my boss, and now I’m pissing off Satan in front of me.

The observer calls me a king.

Is this the king?

Tears cover my face.

“Kuhm. Hartz is a jewel embedded in the sword of the enemy in the kingdom of Angel.”

“Red taxpayer? Are you talking about the crown prince? If you’re the crown prince, you’re the crown prince, so why are you calling me the strange name of the enemy prince?”

“Because I committed a massacre. You can’t swear openly, so it’s an anonymity that people put on.”

Like you’re called a rowdy.

I don’t know who attached it, but it was attached very well.

“Okay. Then look here.”

Baren pointed the index finger of her left hand at her heart and the index finger of her right hand around her belly button.

“See?”

Hmm…. What is this stupid asshole.

Of course I couldn’t say that, and I didn’t know what Baren wanted, so I just kept looking at him.

Then Baren lowered his hand as if he was frustrated first.

“Hey, I can’t see you.”

“What is it?”

“Hmm…. I mean, it’s weird. Even if I look at it, you can’t see the circuit, right? But it’s a karma that appeared to you, and even the way magic works, it’s all witches’.”

“What does that matter now?”

“That’s right, if witches can see each other, they have a circuit. I also have a circuit implanted with witch’s in my body. So I can see the circuits of the witches too.”

Baren cut her off by touching her chin, then she spoke again.

“I thought you implanted circuits in the corpses of witches, but I don’t see any circuits in your body. Besides, there are no nuclei. What the hell have you done?”

After hearing Baren’s words, there was something suspicious.

But at the same time, there were things she could never get out of her mouth.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Really? Then wake up.”

Suddenly?

I stood up as Baren said.

“Stay still.”

Pang!

The motherf*cker hit me again.

“Kuk, kuk.”

“It hurts.”

“That, you say that?”

“That will hurt. That makes no sense It’s normal for it to explode.”

In the midst of the pain, I heard Baren’s words and thought about it.

My body has withstood Baren’s fist?

“When I fought you, you must have absorbed my mana. So when I hit the bed, the bed broke in half. Originally, it would have exploded in all directions. Thanks to the sucking of mana, my strength has weakened a lot now.”

Have you weakened?

And if my body can withstand Baren’s fist….

Shall we try it?

When I saw Baren with that kind of heart, I saw Baren’s creepy smile looking down at me and then naturally disappeared.

Yes, life is precious.

Let’s not have regrets about uncertain things.

Baren looked at me and kept smiling, as if telling me to speak quickly, but I finally persevered.

“Yes. Aren’t you going to tell the end?”

“Even if you threaten to kill me, you can’t tell me what you don’t know. This is far-fetched.”

“Kill? Is not it. So my question is not solved. I have a lot of work to do, so it’s a pity, but I can’t help it right now. Then I heard what I was going to hear and I’m leaving.”

Just in case, Varen told Cassius and Katrina that he was leaving for the last time, and then he left.

But I couldn’t be relieved.

Until now, it seemed that no one would leave me alone.

So I tried to get the chocolates I left with Maria back and bury them where no one would find them.

“Do, boy, I hid it in the closet, but it disappeared. Someone might be expecting it, but Lucy, who lives in the same room, has seen chocolate.”

After Maria’s words, I decided to kill a person for the first time that day.

In the laboratory connected to my room, which has now become a warehouse, I secretly took a sword and went to visit Lucy.

I can’t help it if Lucy ate it.

You can point fingers at me for being cowardly.

If I can prevent a future disaster by killing one person, I will gladly become a villain.

With that in mind, I went to cut Lucy and asked.

“Chocolate? Was that really yours? I gave it to the lady.”

What the f*ck?

I was surprised and this time I hurried to find Katrina and asked.

“I didn’t eat. Her Highness the Princess, the Holy Lady, the person from the Mage Tower, and Her Highness’ escort knight. The four of us ate like this.”

Wow….

Really….

f*cked.
