32 – Triang Village (3)

* * * *

It was also natural for Grace to have questions.

One soul in one body. It was the natural logic of the world, and it was natural.

However, the identity that was believed to be perfect collapsed. due to one exception.

It was the exception that Grace showed when she turned her head, wide-eyed at the unusual co-chief announcement.

it was berry

Due to the considerable distance, it was not possible to grasp its appearance, but nonetheless, it was clearly seen that the soul existed in two separate places: the head and the chest.

‘Why does that person have two souls?’

Grace tilted her head at the completely unbelievable situation and rolled her eyes in an attempt to answer the question in her own way.

But for a moment, before Grace could give an answer, a strange sight was reflected in her moving eyes.

Grace had to put her thoughts aside for a moment.

Berry’s spirit, who had just climbed the podium and looked to the side. It was because I confirmed that the two spheres were shaking like crazy.

Is this what love at first sight is like?

There was no way that a mere commoner would have a one-on-one meeting with the imperial princess, so there was no doubt that the man named Berry fell in love with the imperial princess at first sight.

That’s what Grace thought, and she couldn’t help but have great doubts about it.

On the day the lycanthrope attacked Berry and Lilithiana, according to the original story, it was the imperial princess who appeared in front of Grace, who was scheduled to treat Ian and Selina, who had come back alive after all sorts of hardships, carrying a dying Berry on her back.

Berry, who was carried back fainting by the imperial princess, was able to open her eyes shortly after.

It was because the moment Berry opened his eyes and saw Grace, he confirmed that his heart was shaking.

-Student council party, if you haven’t decided yet, why don’t you join me?

Because what Berry said as soon as he saw her was, in a way, like a twist.

Also, there was a smile planted on Berry’s lips for some reason, so Grace couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

‘This man, could it be that he doesn’t care whoever is beautiful?’

Berry smiled at the anticipation that things might turn out better than expected.

The shimmering of the soul was just a reaction to meeting the character in the novel, but it was a situation and action that could cause illusions to Grace, who did not know it.

That’s why Grace asked if she had any favors with her.

The returned answer and movement of the soul were chilly.

The faint but solid soul located in the left eye was just silent,

The fact that his soul, sharp here and there like an awl in his chest, was also quiet, indicating that Berry’s answer was infinitely sincere.

Accordingly, Grace accepted Berry’s offer without any hesitation.

I was able to confirm that it was not for the purpose of filling my heart, and even so, if I needed it, it would be a joy.

It was because he thought it was suitable to solve the question that arose the moment he saw Berry’s soul up close.

‘… A double personality?’

That was the only possibility Grace thought of. A possibility that I could think of because I had never met a human with multiple personalities.

That’s why these two souls… Curious about what the person who might have a double personality would do, and also in the joy of being able to help someone who needed her holy power, Grace accepted Berry’s offer.

It was nothing short of heavenly luck for Grace.

Before he gets tired of living in the academy and depends on the nest called Ian.

Very interesting, but completely different from evil… If you divide it into black and white paper, it is a boy who is close to gray.

A girl who regrets her past and only looks forward for her love, and a timid alchemist who avoids contact with people.

The possibility that she would become exhausted from her academy life and long for a place to live has disappeared, and the possibility of her becoming dependent on someone has also converged to zero.

That’s how Grace found time to look around and came to know about it.

Even if the boy fell in love at first sight, his feelings for the girl were sincere.

Every time he looked at the girl, the boy’s soul was trembling, and these were the movements usually seen when he truly loved someone.

Of course, one was a sad feeling stemming from infinite loyalty to the master he could not protect.

One was the sad feeling that came from not being able to reach his beloved lover even though he was right in front of him.

Grace could only grasp the results of her emotions.

I was so mistaken because I didn’t know the cause of that feeling.

That’s why Grace felt so sorry.

For some reason, it was because he knew that even though he had two souls, the love of a boy who dreamed of burning all of them would quickly crumble.

It was because the ending was clearly visible to Grace, who could understand emotions.

It was because the boy’s love was like stepping over a tree he couldn’t climb.

commoners and princesses. Of course, there was an obstacle called status, but more than that, the existence of emotions was great.

It was because, from Grace’s eyes, the feelings of longing and admiration that Liliciana felt whenever she touched her fiancée’s ring were stronger than any she had ever seen.

Could it be that the feelings towards a partner who did not even exist in front of him could be huge and deep?

Rather, if the feelings of the boy and the girl were directed towards each other, how could they overcome the difference in social status?

… If only the boy would graduate from the academy at the top of his class.

However, their feelings were just one-way for the boy, and in that case, the boy’s feelings would not be reciprocated, so Grace chose to stop the boy.

Because I thought that if it wasn’t long before love started, it could end without getting hurt too much.

It was a handshake, and Grace’s mistake.

Even though the boy expresses his love, the girl encourages the boy and Grace to become lovers.

In the midst of the boy being burned by the girl’s actions, Grace’s unexpected assist, who was next to him, pierced the boy’s heart even more deeply.

This happened because Grace had the advantage of being able to see a person’s biggest emotions with her eyes, but had the disadvantage of being insensitive to other parts.

That’s why the boy killed the bandits who attacked them more decisively and brutally than usual,

He began to persuade Grace by interrogating one of the thieves he had left behind in an inhuman state.

Grace felt sorry for her.

It was only then that he realized why the boy’s soul was so thorny.

How can a boy of the same age kill so many people, but he doesn’t show any change in his emotions,

How can you just look at yourself indifferently and brutally interrogate people?

Because that was the life the boy had lived and the way of life… Grace thought.

The life the boy had walked so far was regrettable. I felt sorry for the futility of the end of the road the boy had to walk from now on.

If you had lived such a life, it would have been difficult for you to experience what love is, you would not have known.

Grace felt pity for the boy’s first love, a love that would never come true.

Grace took a step closer to the boy and squeezed the boy’s hand holding the knife.

“What, what is it?”

The boy’s eyes fluctuated like waves. Even the boy’s soul trembled in bewilderment.

“I know that Barry’s life has been difficult. It must have been a very difficult journey.”

“No, so what are you asking?”

Grace didn’t even respond to the boy’s words, and went on with her own words.

“Until a while ago, I tried to deny Berry’s love out of pity… but now I’m not sure. So, as long as it doesn’t go against the rules, I’ll support you too. I believe that everyone has the right to be rewarded after hard work.”

“No, that’s not what I’m asking…”

said Grace, raising the boy’s hand.

“So, don’t take out your anger for nothing. After all, what does Berry-sama gain by harassing this person?”

“What…?”

“You can’t get used to this…of course, I also realized that I was foolish. I realized that if there are good people, there are also just bad people.”

At this moment, Berry thought.

‘Oh shit, there’s no way that bitch Grace can change her mind just once.’

She was the one who had spent her entire life in the cage of goodness, receiving the goddess’ benevolent grace and all.

In the case of Lilysinaa, shock therapy was also quite effective, so Berry once again believed in the power of shock therapy and performed it, but she could not give a human named Grace rationality.

For Kim Bin, who has lived his entire life as a romance novelist, the basis of his action was that he knew that there was nothing like shock therapy to open the eyes of a romance character.

For those who have lost the will to live like Lilithiana, there is news that will make them wake up, or news that will make them angry.

For those who are lost in daydreams like Grace, an opportunity to realize the cruelty of reality.

This world in which Kim Bin was possessed was also a romance novel, and it was also reasonable to use the knowledge that is common in the genre of romance for the character in the romance novel.

However, in the case of Grace, the shock was not so great,

Because Lilithiana and Grace lived in different environments, it was impossible to bring about a change in Grace.

Then Grace said.

“Because this person is a criminal, he probably won’t get proper treatment. He will have to live like this for the rest of his life. If that’s the case, even if Barry-sama doesn’t have to suffer like this, this person himself will regret his actions. At the end, there must be repentance and repentance… So, don’t get more blood on your hands than necessary, Berry-sama.”

“…”

This professional sympathy horse seems to have changed the target of sympathy to me rather than a thief.

Berry felt dizzy as he realized that he hadn’t even scratched Grace’s foundation.
