‘Big trouble.’
In front was Ashed, and behind was Noah. Delina, still unable to regain her composure, quickly glanced at Noah, chewing her lips. Facing Ashed alone was overwhelming enough, but she couldn’t leave Noah like that.
“Die quietly.”
This time, Ashed’s sword, held in his hand as if determined never to miss again, gleamed ominously. Delina, too, hastily opened a portal to use her abilities.
“Where!”
However, even that was blocked by Ashed’s sword. Dodging the flying sword, Delina quickly moved her body backward. From her pocket, she took out a powder and sprinkled it near a puddle. Soon, smoke rose from the water, creating a barrier between Delina and Ashed.
“!”
Instinctively, Ashed recoiled as the unexpected smoke appeared. Seizing the opportunity, Delina grabbed Noah’s arm and swiftly moved her body towards the inside.
‘It was a good idea to get artificial smoke powder from Marquis Hujak.’
Seeing the smoke spreading, Delina, who had taken a brief sigh, looked at Noah.
Of course, artificial smoke was only a temporary measure. Soon, the smoke would disappear, and they would be exposed to Ashed. As the situation became urgent, Delina grabbed Noah’s face firmly with both hands and pulled him towards her.
“You, will you ever come to your senses?”
Noah’s eyes widened abruptly at Delina’s sudden action. Delina opened her mouth again.
“I still don’t know who I am? And the memories we shared? Huh?”
“…”
“Fine. If you still don’t get it, then I’ll have to make you realize it myself.”
Delina’s eyes were filled with determination as she spoke.
“!”
It was only after some time had passed since Delina disappeared into the dark forest that Zen caught a rolling ball. Zen took out the ball from the scarf in his hand. At the same time, the keyword, the obsession man above Zen, disappeared. Only now did Zen, who had regained his senses, slowly blink his eyes.
“Huh?”
Wandering around, holding the scarf in one hand, Zen tried to figure out why he was here. Eventually, Zen thought of Delina. Although he couldn’t know what Delina did, he instinctively realized something. Delina did something to him, and just now, that something was unraveled.
“…”
Feeling that he didn’t like being manipulated, Zen furrowed his brow. Then, oddly, he couldn’t throw the scarf away. Instead, Zen stared at the scarf for a moment and muttered.
“… Scarf.”
Although it was a word unrelated to him, strangely, when he uttered the word “scarf,” a corner of Zen’s heart trembled. At the same time, in Zen’s mind, a girl’s voice echoed, and a scene unfolded like a painting.
[Look, see. This is clothes, and this is a scarf. And this is a plate, and this is meat.] Within the small iron bars, there was a girl smiling. The girl slowly savored the words in front of her. It wasn’t the rough and frightening sound heard in the auction house. Instead, it was much softer, gentler, and uplifting.“Clothes, scarf, plate, meat…”
Soon, Zen naturally muttered the words the girl had taught him. However, the last word just wouldn’t come to his memory. Zen furrowed his brow. Then, once again, the girl’s voice echoed.
[What’s my name?]Simultaneously, Zen, with a gleam in his eyes, uttered the final word.
“Delina.”
The moment those words left his lips, Zen’s vision seemed to brighten.
“Delina, Delina, Delina… Delina!”
Only now did Zen, as if recalling everything, loudly shout that name. Of course, Zen couldn’t see it—slowly fading away, the word “Black Veil.”
“Delina! Where are you?”
Zen, hastily tying the scarf around his neck, looked around with a bewildered expression. Although his mind was in disarray, like waking up from a dream, Zen instinctively searched for Delina. Zen retraced his steps to the place where he last saw Delina. However, Delina was not there.
“…”
Instead, there was Calyx, just getting up.
“…Where’s Delina?”
In response to Zen’s question, Calyx, without answering, stared at the scarf tied around Zen’s neck, then opened his mouth.
“Have you come to your senses too?”
Calyx, putting away the sword he had, also held a cookie in his hand. Zen nodded, and Calyx moved his steps.
“Then let’s go.”
Calyx knew where Delina had gone. Zen followed Calyx. As the two moved quickly, something tripped them up. The two stopped. Under their feet was a seemingly unconscious Vansant.
“…”
“Shall I wake him up?”
“Go ahead.”
Seeing the lying Vansant, the two’s response was quite simple. Calyx effortlessly picked up the fallen Vansant and handed him to Zen. As Zen was about to lift Vansant’s body high and throw it, Vansant, who seemed to have just regained consciousness, spoke.
“…You won’t keep me asleep forever.”
Vansant had already woken up due to the shock of being trampled under the two. However, the two just stared at the lying Vansant without letting him go. They were checking Vansant’s condition. Realizing this, Vansant added.
“My mental state is fine. Memories returned while under the sleep dart. Except for a few puzzling parts, I’m as good as new.”
“…”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
