Chapter 58 The notice we saw at the station. The large diamond-shaped lock engraved on the train. And the day we first visited the Deste Estate. “Those marks represent Clavis subsidiaries. The symbol of the Clavis family is a key, so every business or foundation related to them uses a lock as its emblem.” That was what Ian had told me. “The Clavis family was officially wiped out, so why are all of their subsidiaries still running so well?” I clearly remembered reading a newspaper…-

Chapter 57 “Just changing our hair color makes us look like completely different people.” With the elegant uniforms that Nema had made, we looked exactly like a group from a powerful noble family. I was curiously admiring my reflection in the window when Verity revealed something surprising. “Pex modified the magic tools.” “Uncle did?” “This magic tool can avoid detection from other tracking magic tools. We already tested it in the village. As expected from a former magic…

Chapter 56 However, I wasn't particularly bothered that I had revealed my secret. I've never treated it like a secret anyway. I had always openly told people about it. After all, it was much more efficient to tell them in advance than to have them find out later and think I was strange. That way I can always say, "See? I already told you!" But no matter how many times I said it... Not a single person believed me. Well... how could they? Even I have trouble believing it. "..." I stood…

Chapter 55 Nema and I moved to a small resting area outside the training grounds. She doesn't seem to be injured... As we walked side by side, I carefully checked her body for any wounds. Thankfully, she didn't seem seriously hurt. Did she awaken as a Berserker? Just like Verity said... Had she lost her reason and gone on a rampage? If it was because of the conversation we had that day... Feeling guilty, I lowered my eyes. ...Huh? Something felt strange. Her hands are empty. The…

Chapter 54 “Ian, look at this.” Inside the bucket Ian pulled up from the well was a small wooden box. It was old, but it had been kept in good condition. Looking closer, I saw that the joints had been tightly sealed with candle wax. We carried the box to the village hall. I took out the office knife that had been carelessly shoved into the pencil holder on the desk and carefully scraped off the wax seal. Then the lid opened. Inside the box were a train ticket, a letter, and a ring…

Chapter 53 “This is the wooden practice stick I give all of you whenever you train.” “But why did you bring out my stick?” “Yours is for comparison.” Verity pointed to the end of the wooden stick. “If you look closely, you can see it's heavily worn from use.” “That is because Ian has devoted himself to training more than anyone else in the village.” Every morning, Ian woke up early to warm up by himself. Whenever the villagers trained once... He trained…

Chapter 52 The black ropes surrounding the empty houses began to ripple with a bluish glow. The brighter the light became... The more violently the ropes swayed. Then, at last... They began to rise into the sky. Each rope stopped at a different height. The future fire station stopped at the height of three stories. The library rose even higher, about five stories. And the training grounds, which had been marked last... Stopped at an even greater height. Streams of light poured down…

Chapter 51 As soon as I heard that the flames had turned white... A strange certainty filled my mind. 'Huh... Could it be that Libby Unni has become stronger too?' The reason that thought came to me was because of something I had learned in science class back in school. 'Flames change color depending on their temperature.' Most people think of fire as being red. But surprisingly, red flames are actually the coolest. The hotter a flame becomes... The whiter it burns. Just as I…

Chapter 50 Crape Myrtle Fever. Like chickenpox or measles in Korea, it was a terrifying epidemic that could become fatal if treatment was delayed. However, if patients took medicine regularly during the early stages, they recovered quickly. After that, they became immune and would never catch it again. That was why, for the people of this world, Crape Myrtle Fever was considered a rite of passage that everyone experienced once during childhood. 'But that may no longer be true.' The…

Chapter 49 “Ah, this is...” Feeling his gaze, Aidelos hesitated before explaining. “I bought it to give to Mini, but... in the end, I never managed to give it to her. So I just kept it with me. Over time, it became worn out, and even the decoration fell off.” “Hm.” Only then did Pereus turn to look outside the window Aidelos had been staring at. In that direction stood the detached palace where their younger sister, Princess Minitia, lived. '...Why does he care so much about…
