091. Healing Art of Baking (1)

finally.

I saw the entrance of the mansion I missed and missed.

“You’ve arrived.”

Of course, it was Zeke who had dinner with Serena at the mansion until this morning.

My mind was in a state of back and forth, so I couldn’t put my mind at ease.

‘Now I won’t do anything until class tomorrow. I’m really just going to sleep.’

The Lost Hope bastards appeared, and it was no longer possible to teach the children as leisurely as before.

The fact that they appeared was like saying that the angle of death of our sunfish soy spoon went up.

Zeke still did not know how the dark fantasy world was intertwined with the romantic version of [Ramielli Academy’s Secret Girl].

I just know that the past and the future are somehow related.

He didn’t know if he would have to defeat the demon king again, or even catch the madman who was the bard of the master.

However, Zeke’s goal was the same as before.

In the end, the reason he became possessed was because he wrote a comment on a romance fantasy.

Growing Soyi and giving him the power to avoid death variables so that he can have a happy ending.

Together with Soyi, he strengthens the classmates and quickly secures Soyi’s safety.

At the same time, pay attention to the demon king’s call, and when he appears, secretly go and snatch it.

Zeke materialized his purpose like that.

‘But that’s it, let’s rest today.’

Normally, my body wouldn’t even allow me to take a nap.

Now that the restrictions have been lifted, wouldn’t it be okay to stretch a little?

‘Only today! Live in idleness! Let’s lie down in bed and eat some delicious honey!’

Zeke nodded towards that pitiful goal with an expression of utmost sincerity.

but.

“Serena-sama! Zeke-sama! This, Miss Iriel!”

Seeing the face of the butler running away shouting, it seemed as if it had gone too far.

“Instructor, could you drop me off for a moment?”

“yes.”

Zeke lowered Serena to the ground.

“what’s the matter.”

“This, Miss Iriel started to harm herself.”

“Are you sleeping?”

Sleep with Iriel. There wasn’t a word that didn’t fit like that, so Serena asked with a frown.

“Yes, you strangled me and scratched my body with your fingernails until they were bleeding.”

“…So, what did you do now?”

“……I tied her hands and pinned her to the bed.”

“I’ll have to go and see it.”

Zeke headed to Iriel’s room with Serena.

*

“Kiaaa!!”

As soon as you open the door and enter, a shrieking scream echoes through the room.

The maids accompanying her hesitated and shrank, not knowing what to do.

Serena caught Iriel’s figure in her eyes.

Disorganized red hair.

Her complexion looked pale as if she hadn’t even eaten properly.

White cracked lips.

Not even light entered his bright red eyes.

The appearance of being pinned to a post on a bed with both wrists tied

It was so miserable that I couldn’t recall the previous Iriel.

“Turn off!! Turn off!!!”

Iriel twisted his body and tried to untie the rope tied to his wrist.

Blood leaked from the rope, which was already soaked red, and flowed down the wrist.

Even Serena, who hated her, couldn’t help but smile at this terrible sight.

“Hey, why are you like this. Since when did you do this…”

“You’ve been in this state since Serena-sama left in the morning.”

“Originally, it wasn’t this severe… the attending physician, what did the attending physician say?”

Serena asked the butler in a hard voice.

“He said it was a psychological shock, but… he seemed unsure about his diagnosis.”

“……Then, are you saying we have to leave it as it is?”

“No. I was going to tell you once Serena-nim came.”

“… is there a way…?”

Whoa-

The butler let out a long sigh.

“Sir, Serena.”

The butler, who was looking at Iriel with a complicated look, soon tightened his eyes and faced Serena.

“What kind of existence is Miss Iriel to Serena?”

“That’s why…”

“I’m sorry to say this, but… Justia is our enemy.”

Yes, there was nothing wrong with the butler’s words. However, Serena could not easily nod her head.

“Tell me how.”

“Yes, the first method is to leave it as is, as Serena-sama said.”

“But that’s…”

“Then you can easily eliminate one of the lady’s competitors. You just have to force-feed them and supply them with nutrients to keep them alive.”

“Well, then from Justia’s side…”

“Anyway, it was Justia who sent Lady Iriel to us without any notice. Or, secretly sending her to Justia again would be a way. Since we sent it the same way as they did, we can’t say that we played a trick. .”

gulp

Serena swallowed dryly in front of the butler who spat out cruel words.

“Is there any other way?”

“Perhaps, if we send it to Justia, we will do what they would do.”

“what is that.”

“It’s an exorcism.”

“Exorcism?”

Serena’s eyes widened.

“Yes, the attending physician could not make a definitive diagnosis, but left the guess that it was probably something spiritual.”

“Ha, but that!”

“Yes, if you receive the exorcism, Lady Iriel will no longer be able to be active in the social world.”

exorcism ceremony

It is a ritual to cast out demons performed in the central church.

However, in return, a lot of money is required, and even if the treatment is successful through diarrhea or exorcism, the target is shunned by the social world as being possessed by a ghost.

“Isn’t it difficult to proceed in secret…?”

“In case the ritual fails… it’s not difficult. Even the Central Church will want to hide their shame.”

“What if it succeeds?”

“We will publicize them extensively to enhance their achievements.”

“Then, I can’t escape the suspicion that Iriel was forced to undergo an exorcism.”

“Yes, so to be honest, but there’s nothing good for us in this second round. Let’s just hand it over to Justia and proceed from there.”

Serena chewed her lips.

The only two subjects in the empire where power does not work,

One was the Grand Duke of the North who blocked the monsters moving south.

The other was the Central Holy Church, which was in charge of faith.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way.

Imprisoning Justia in the mansion and carrying out the exorcism on our side only instilled strange suspicions in Joheiden.

A situation where there is only countless losses and no gains at all.

No, even if there is no benefit, if Iriel can recover normally because of that, Serena might think about it… … .

Serena was well aware that the rumors that she was cured with exorcism were false.

‘As expected, handing it over to Justia quickly is the best option… … .’

I just feel stuffy, as if something is caught in my chest.

Serena realized that this was a guilty pleasure.

‘Even if I hadn’t asked to hold a banquet at Justia’s mansion… … .’

Before I knew it, Iriel screamed and fell asleep exhausted.

Her tear-stained face caught Serena’s eyes.

“……Then, to Justia’s mansion……”

“Wait, wait.”

Zeke cut Serena’s backside and came in.

*

Zeke frowned and checked Iriel’s condition.

‘He’s in a rather serious condition.’

Mmm. Zeke swallowed his saliva at the prickling conscience.

He guessed roughly what state Iriel was in.

exposed to nothing but liberation.

Even the most insignificant creatures feel fear and run away.

He must have been sane since he got hit right next to it.

Maybe because of that trauma, I couldn’t even eat properly for a while.

It will take quite a while to get back to a normal life.

‘But the problem is that there is no solution other than time passing… … .’

Even among the inhabitants of the Dave continent, sometimes I can’t overcome my curiosity

There were sometimes people who approached Zeke at the moment of liberation and went out of their minds.

However, since reality is such a mess, mental toughness is the default passive.

Usually, after a month or so, I came to my senses.

However, in the case of Iriel, who lived in a world where her back was warm and food was plentiful, it seemed that she was not immune to this fear of survival.

‘Ah, I came in there in the morning, exuding a sense of life.’

If you are a normal person, you will feel a different sense of intimidation than usual.

There is a high probability that Iriel, who has become mentally weak, accepted the murder sensitively.

Shouldn’t it be like this for about a year?

Ultimately, this is all your fault.

As I was organizing my thoughts, a strange word entered my ears.

‘What? Exorcism?’

Zeke burst into laughter at the butler’s words.

Could it be solved with something like that?

This isn’t demonic possession, it’s classic panic symptoms.

To face fears beyond your control and to want to run away from deeply ingrained fears.

Because of this, they cannot stay still for a moment and scream or harm themselves.

Rather, it is helpful to give weak drugs and counseling that calms the mind little by little.

‘It’s a drug… … . Would it be alright if I got some drugs from here?’

Then, in Zeke’s mind, the face of the future drug dealer, the protagonist of Romance, came to mind.

“Wait a minute.”

“Yes? Instructor? Do you know anything about Iriel’s condition…”

“Um. Soy spoon… No, call Elise.”

“Are you Elise?”
