For an ordinary person, using Pythonus’s cognitive manipulation could deceive the surroundings and gain freedom. However, the opponent was none other than Deon. His instincts were like those of an animal, so he wasn’t someone to be underestimated.
‘Why is Deon doing this?’
[Isn’t it because you’re afraid you’ll purify that duke?]‘No. If I knew I was a Lethiom, I would’ve said it earlier.’
Though she told Pythonus it wasn’t the case, she was still concerned.
Liche glanced at Deon.
“Why.”
“Uncomfortable.”
“Endure it.”
I don’t know. Deon’s actions were always uncontrollable.
Liche let out a small sigh. When Ian, who made eye contact, asked if he should untie it again, Liche shook her head.
‘I can’t ask my dad for help. It seems like playing around with Deon.’
After requesting assistance from already passing Blake, when she was wondering how to escape, Robenhaf, who finished talking to other people, separated from the crowd and walked around. Liche called Robenhaf.
“Robenhaf, brother!”
“Oh, Liche. …What are you doing?”
Although he still had a smiling face, Robenhaf’s smile looked somewhat tired.
“A ribbon tied to your wrist? It’s pretty.”
“…….”
To anyone else, it sounded strange, but no one said anything to Robenhaf.
Ian cautiously asked Robenhaf.
“Senior, are you okay?”
“Yeah. Sorry, everyone. I’ll have to postpone buying you delicious things. I have to stay with my father for a few days.”
The air became heavy with Robenhaf’s words, hinting at the inevitable end.
Robenhaf forced a smile.
“Oh, I’ll go now. I have to communicate with the mansion. See you later.”
“Robenhaf, brother. Cheer up.”
“If you need help, please let us know.”
“Thank you. Liche. Ian Duane too.”
Deon grabbed Robenhaf’s arm, who was about to leave.
“Why?”
“I’ll… try to find a way.”
Finding a way. However, Derkedion also wouldn’t have any sharp tricks. Therefore, it might be that he couldn’t see my face properly now.
Robenhaf, without expecting any comfort from his blunt friend, nodded his head and left.
“Yeah. Thanks.”
Not long after that, the chief found Deon.
“Derkedion, I’m really sorry, but several demons we thought were defeated woke up. Professors who are skilled in fighting demons during the day got injured, so…”
For dealing with multiple demons at once, abilities like those of Lordwick or Duke Hebetzman were suitable.
But considering the situations of Robenhaf and Duke Hebetzman, and the uncomfortable attitude of Duke Lordwick, it wasn’t possible to ask them for help.
There was no one else to ask for help except Deon.
‘What’s with the string?’
The chief saw the strings connecting Deon, Liche, and Ian’s wrists, but he didn’t say anything, thinking it might be some play that’s trendy among students these days. There are many things in kids’ play that adults can’t understand.
“……Tsk.”
Eventually, Deon, who had been pondering, untied the strings. However.
“Serdia.”
He grabbed Zeckvert, who was loitering nearby, and made him sit in his place.
Zeckvert, who willingly offered his wrist for Deon to tie, had a face without much thought. But as soon as Deon whispered something, he nodded resolutely.
‘It worked.’
Liche thought it was good. Zeckvert would be easier to persuade than Deon. Moreover, Zeck knew that he was a Lethiom.
If he knew it was to purify Duke Hebetzman, he would probably help. Ian also said he would untie the string whenever she wanted.
As soon as Deon disappeared from sight, Liche reached for the knot and said,
“Zeck, could you please untie this?”
“No.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t untie it.”
This isn’t right.
The firm attitude that didn’t seem like it would yield even if he begged, it belonged to Deon. Could it be that Zeck was actually Deon in disguise?
No way.
Zeckvert, who hadn’t yet caught on to what she was trying to do, still seemed oblivious.
Liche whispered to Zeckvert.
“Zeck, I have to purify Duke Hebetzman. The carriage is coming soon.”
“It hurts when you purify. So, no.”
“Oh, back when our dad? That was because there was no Piccan. Now we have it, so it’s okay. Look here.”
When Liche opened her pocket, Pythonus came out.
[That’s right! It’s okay because I’m here!]Pythonus confidently shouted, even though Zeckvert couldn’t hear it.
But Zeckvert, with his mouth shut tight, raised his head resolutely.
What the hell did Deon say to make Zeck not believe a word I say?
It’s really okay.
‘…Should I try using magic? Burning the string should work, right?’
Among the magic Pythonus changed for her, there was basic magic to create fire.
The problem was that she hadn’t tried this magic even once yet.
‘No. What if it goes out of control like at the training ground? Fire is even more terrifying.’
There could be casualties.
What should I do? Just as Liche was wondering, Ian’s voice echoed in her ears.
“Liche, didn’t you say you left something in the dorm?”
“…?”
Me?
Turning her head to look, Ian, who was smiling, said something unexpectedly.
Zeckvert, who didn’t respond to Liche’s words, surprisingly went along with Ian’s words.
“You said you were going to get winter clothes. It’s cold.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“……”
Since she had said she was going to fetch winter clothes, Zeckvert agreed to Ian’s words without any objections.
Although Zeckvert tried to follow them, Ian made up an excuse, blocking his way.
“If nobody is here when Senior Derkedion comes back, he’ll be surprised. Zeckvert, can you tell them something?”
This time, Ian’s words went through again.
Finally, the two left Zeckvert in the corridor.
“There.”
As they came out into the corridor, Ian untied Liche’s wrist.
Touching her freed wrist, Liche asked Ian.
“By the way, Ian, do you know what I’ll do and untie it for me?”
Even going so far as to lie on her behalf.
Ian responded to Liche’s curious question.
“I don’t know. I’m just helping because it seems like something Liche wants to do.”
“…Even if it’s something bad?”
“Really? But even if it’s something bad, it’s what Liche wants to do, right?”
With such a beautiful appearance that seems unrelated to a lifetime of misdeeds, Ian made such a remark.
“Ian… You shouldn’t trust people too blindly.”
As Liche hesitated to speak, Ian chuckled softly.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
