“Viviaana was given a separate reward.”
To have been rewarded is unexpected.
“Is she alive?!”
“She is alive. I can’t tell you where she is, though.”
Well, now that the possessor has left, the owner of the body must have returned.
‘Since she wasn’t found in the tower.’
Du Noir’s expression returned to normal.
‘It’s difficult.’
Viviaana wasn’t crazy, and it was a fact that the emperor fell for Wiano’s scheme.
“Then what about the possessors who haven’t returned?”
“They are being stored. When a future surpassing the original comes, they can be reborn.”
Elysias and Eilin were also said to truly be sleeping.
Du Noir, as if saying he wouldn’t say more, displayed products on the counter.
“Now, would you like to browse the products?”
[Key to Open the Door] Card 1 / Stock: 1 [Purification Power] Card 2 / Stock: 1 [Conceal Traces] Card 2 / Stock: 1‘Purification Power?’
When I focused on it, an explanation window appeared in front of my eyes.
[Purification Power]Try purifying a wicked curse with this amazing power!
It was a tempting offer.
‘With this, I might be able to lift Kashaar’s curse…!’
“Please read the description below to the end.”
“…Applicable up to Grade C?”
What’s this about?
“Tell me the target you want to lift the curse from.”
It was a system that was truly convenient and strange.
I looked at him with a suspicious gaze.
“Kashaar?”
Beep beep beep.
A loud warning sound rang out from the explanation window.
[Not applicable for SSS Grade!]I knew this would happen.
Anyway, nothing was going to be easy.
“Then, what about Moon Pierce?”
[Applicable for C Grade. It was close!]The status window’s voice became lively.
Could it be…?
“By any chance, did you also create the status window and voice?”
“Yes. Cute, right?”
I was speechless at Du Noir’s proud voice.
‘I don’t really want to imagine it.’
A fresh person like him pretending to be cute while recording.
I made an effort to shake off the thought and focused on the items in front of me.
It was definitely something I needed.
However…
‘Why is this one expensive?’
It used not one but two cards.
Moreover, the ‘Conceal Traces’ that I had bought before had an increased price.
‘I need both of them.’
I only had three cards.
But to enter the Imperial Palace again and complete the purification, I couldn’t afford to leave anything behind.
Instead of presenting the cards, I looked up at Du Noir.
“No traumatizing.”
“…I haven’t even spoken yet.”
“I had that look.”
“Our relationship isn’t that bad, is it? I’m the only customer who comes.”
Although I tried my best to appeal, what came back was nonsense.
“You said it before. Don’t provoke me.”
I should stop talking.
As if saying I got it, he nodded, and the store owner of the hole looked relieved.
“Then, give me one ‘Purification Power.'”
“Card received.”
As I extended the two cards, delicate hands quickly snatched them.
After a moment, he went into the counter and came out with the items.
“Here are the items.”
“What kind of recycled goods are these?”
What he handed over was a 500-milliliter plastic bottle.
‘Is this dragon trying to deceive customers now?’
As my gaze sharpened, he pointed at the PET bottle as if telling me to take a closer look.
“It’s not just a bottle. Take a good look.”
“…Bubble Drops of Purification?”
With a cute rainbow drawing on the vinyl surrounding the bottle, there was also writing.
“Purification will begin when these bubble drops are blown in a place cursed with insomnia.”
In other words, blowing these bubbles was the method to lift the curse.
“Can’t you make something more ordinary?”
“Business needs to be innovative.”
It felt like I was being tricked again.
‘But the items have been reliable so far.’
There had been no items like grapes or duck stickers that didn’t show effects.
“When you open the lid, there’s a bubble wand inside. Go ahead, take it.”
Du Noir extended the bubble wand along with the product explanation.
I reluctantly accepted it, pretending to fall for it.
“Then, I’ll be going now. Hwanyang, let’s go.”
[Can’t we wait a bit more?]Hwanyang, perched on Du Noir’s shoulder, whined.
I felt a bit sorry, but I was really busy, so there was no other choice.
“I have a lot to do today. Let’s come again next time.”
[Hihng.]As I extended my hand, the bundle of cotton climbed onto it.
Black pupils looked up at me in a pitiful manner.
Seeing that, Du Noir waved his hand.
Before leaving, Du Noir and I glanced at each other for a moment.
“…Humans are difficult.”
Since the beginning, a perfect being didn’t know about regrets or mistakes.
Ignoring that statement, I walked out as if I hadn’t heard anything.
As soon as I left the non-space, a red light was peeking through the building’s windows.
‘Already about to set.’
The clock tower visible by the window showed 3:30 PM.
As winter in Lihart approached its end, the days became significantly shorter.
Although there was still a considerable amount of time until the party started, I felt the need to hurry for preparations.
‘I didn’t think about how to get in.’
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
