91 – Prevent the heroine from dropping (5)

* * * *

When the kingdom of Diark was invaded by demons, the dragon destroyed the Freesia family… It’s easy to think that dragons are also a group of demons, but

Dragons can be said to be a third neutral force that is not on either side of humans or demons.

I don’t know why those dragons attacked the Freesia family following the demon’s movement.

I don’t even think I want to know. If I did, it wouldn’t be of any use to anyone.

This is because all dragons are self-centered guys who don’t know where to go.

That day, I just wanted to lend my strength to the demons. Or because you’re bored.

It even went so far as to attack nearby creatures for the trivial reason that the scales did not seem to be clean today, so that’s all I said.

However, even those dragons who seem to have lost their humanity have their own unique rules. It can be said that it is a kind of iron rule to never do anything against that rule, even if a knife is inserted into the throat.

To give some examples of things that appeared in the original work… It’s like young beings don’t attack regardless of race.

On sunny days, refrain from destructive acts as much as possible.

Or, there were also very peaceful dragons with the rule that they wouldn’t attack unless they fought first.

In a word, it means that they are a species that lives and acts according to their own rules.

Trying to figure out the reasons for their actions is nothing like a waste of time.

‘Something… Thinking like this makes me feel like Irene.’

A person who judged and acted according to her own rules of chivalry, and even tried to suppress my actions as a stranger by force in order to fit her own rules.

If you think about it carefully, isn’t there a big difference from dragons?

It certainly has a solid body, but it is not a bulky muscular body. After all, it is a woman.

The fact that such a person could even compete with Ian in terms of strength is surprising in itself.

Rather, it is more credible to say that he was more like a dragon than a human.

… Maybe it’s a polymorph?

But Irene Justia is actually a dragon polymorphed… The assumption was so absurd.

It is because Irene’s history existed in human form to be called a polymorph, and Irene’s strength was too weak to compare to a dragon.

Although there was the possibility of dragon races that often exist in fantasy worlds, I have yet to see mixed blood between the two races in this world.

I’ve never even heard of such a thing, so it’s safe to say that it doesn’t exist.

In other words, this is just a speculation that I found in the process of thinking about a person named Irene that could be understood.

Even in the original work, there was not even a word of explanation that it was related to dragons, so there was not a single basis… .

At that moment, just one. A piece of evidence that Irene was related to dragons flashed through her mind.

It reminded me that the name of the weapon Irene was holding was the Red Throne.

Irene’s must have been a treasure-level weapon, just like my Moonlight. If not, isn’t there any other reason why Mine was trying to take over the reverse?

Reverse Lin (逆鱗).

It refers to only one of the dragon’s 81 scales, which is said to be stuck in reverse, and also signifies the dragon’s fatal vital point.

‘Something seems to be caught, but it doesn’t seem to be caught… .’

Since she was chosen by the wicked, does that mean that she is also a vital part of the dragon?

Or, if not to the vital point, it might be an important figure for the dragons.

It is a story that a paranoid patient would say to overinterpret one characteristic of a normal person, but the guys surrounding me are not all ordinary people.

Aren’t these singularities among the singularities carefully selected by the writer who created this world?

Rather, it is safe to say that this kind of indirect information was the artist’s own foreshadowing or hint.

However, the problem is why there was no mention of the contact between Irene and the dragon in the original work.

At the same time as Irene became the head of household, well, the dragon came to visit.

When Irene lost her life, not even a common foreshadowing that the dragons could not contain their anger was written.

‘Ah, was it after Ian had already killed everything at that point?’

After Irene died, Ian ruthlessly killed the demons who stood in his way from then on.

Ian, who seemed to show off how good he was, was like a thorn in the dragon’s eyes. In the end, some dragons who couldn’t hold back their anger attacked Ian, and the dragons that could not compete with Ian, who had awakened, fell like autumn leaves.

It would have been nice if it ended there, but Ian went to the Dragon Chest that way and told him to stay calm and not interfere, and the dragons were all people who lived for their own pride… To put it in conclusion, the dragon was annihilated that day.

Anna’s case was also there, so the fact that Ian didn’t have a good impression at the time must have helped.

Of course, that state of awakening did not last long. It is not a story that his strength has decreased, but a story that he has regained some degree of personality.

Giving Irene the head of a demon along with Yeokrin helped a lot in alleviating his guilt, but above all, Evangeline’s role was very large.

Even though she is a stepdaughter, Ian, who has more beings to protect, has regained his energy.

Thinking about it like that, it was impossible to conclude that the problem with Irene was completely unrelated to the dragon, and a new personal impression of Ian arose.

‘A guy who makes others the subject of his life.’

In a way, it is similar to Lily, but the texture is different.

Lily has a tendency to imitate the feelings she received from a single pivot point and repay it.

On the other hand, Ian is just a target for all others. everyone else except yourself.

And it does not repay, but provides a free favor.

Rumbling. Upon entering the stone road unique to the Kingdom of Diark, the body of the magic wagon shakes and begins to repeat motion.

Unable to withstand the repeated vibrations and the warm sunlight seeping through the curtains, the members fall into a drowsy sleep one by one.

Even at the moment when everyone was asleep with their heads up, the only one who didn’t fall asleep, no. I looked at the guy who couldn’t fall asleep.

“…You, didn’t you ever say something happened to a woman in the past?”

I cautiously spoke to Ian, not wanting to wake Lily, who was sleeping soundly with her shoulder resting on me.

“That never happened. That’s why I’m even more embarrassed.”

“Then you must have been seduced without knowing it. Hypnosis, brainwashing…drugs or whatever.”

The trap is that the subject is God.

“Berry, do you have any idea how to fix this? You’re the one who figured out that Cindy’s symptoms were caused by the poison.”

“…well.”

He stroked his chin and pretended to be worried, wasting time.

As a general indication, it’s not that I don’t know how to fix it at all. Representatively, there is the protection or blessing of the saintess.

However, the suggestion placed on Ian and Selina was placed directly by God. How could such an allusion be solved by the power of a saintess?

It might work, but I’m not sure.

“There is one surefire way.”

“What, what is it?”

“Whether it’s drugged suggestion or magic, suggestion is a means that requires constant consumption of mana or drugs to maintain it in the end. But since it’s unlikely that only you and Selina were drugged, it must be some kind of magic.”

“then?”

The light of hope is revealed and Ian’s eyes are restored to life.

They seemed to be expecting me to give them a definitive solution.

… what about this On the contrary, if you listen to what I have to say from now on, you will be very disappointed.

“It’s simple. Either attack the magician so that he can’t maintain his magic, or you, the target, get a fatal wound that doesn’t work.”

“that….”

“Yes, it’s a gamble. The former doesn’t even know who cast the magic anyway. Then what’s left is the latter, a fatal wound that doesn’t work for suggestion… what would you do to be hurt that much even if you were chosen by Durandal? Do you know what to do?”

“……yes.”

A shadow falls on Ian’s face, and he begins to droop again.

At the same time, next to me. That’s why, not from Lily, but from the seat next to her, a low voice resounded like a refreshing bell. It’s Grace’s voice.

“Suggestion…magic, Ian-nim and Selina-sama? Who the hell, for what purpose…or more than that, what type of color magic is suggestion magic?”

Oops. I thought he was sleeping, but it seemed that we were awake because of our chatter.

“The colors that can be suggested are blue, green, and colorless.

Something flowing through my brain with blue water magic… Did I mention you can control moisture? There was one such way.

He said that the green wind magic could produce similar results. If you manipulate it finely, it has an effect similar to the psychokinesis that exists in supernatural powers.

Colorless, as far as I know, has atoxylation… It is the most ineffective magic.

Perhaps because blue and green are the highest level of magic that controls what exists inside the human brain, the magic is extremely difficult to manifest, but its efficiency is great.

There would be no reason for a writer who says that name color is God to use colorless.

Unlike blue and green, colorless creates a space at the base of humans for a certain period of time and injects memories or ideas into that space… The amount of horsepower it takes is no joke, and the fact that it is automatically released after a certain period of time is not good.

“I understand the purpose. Then, if it’s blue, green, and colorless… isn’t it possible for the academy’s instructors, the principal, as well as Her Highness the Princess and Selina-sama?”

“…Other people are like that, but why the princess and Selina?”

In the first place, other people don’t even make sense.

As I said, blue and green are the highest level of magic, so no one has ever mastered them. It’s not even on record. I read it in the original, so I know it.

And the colorless actually consumes an amount of magic power that a normal wizard can’t even hold out a business card.

How easy would it be for magic to create space in the human mind?

“Both of you are colorless…”

“If it’s enough to hint colorlessly, isn’t it already at the level of an academy cadet?”

“That’s about it…?”

“I can’t use magic, so I only know it through knowledge, but even a famous wizard can’t use any other magic just by using it once and has to lie down sick all day.”

Of course, in the original film, I only saw the scene where Selina was atoxynating a high-ranking Mine. And the admiration of the other wizards who saw it was the same as what I just said to Grace.

In other words, both Selina and Lily are not qualified to use atoxination in the first place.

“is that so….”

Grace’s eyes, with a puzzled look on her face, turned to Selina, who was soundly asleep.

“If you really care, you can ask. Whether it’s a lie or not.”

“…Would you please stay still for a moment? I can’t see Her Highness very well.”

“Do you chew my words?”

He sighed and stayed still as if he were a manger seat as requested.

Based on me, I start to look around. Lily and Selina.

… both are clean

I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn’t hear it because I didn’t make a sound.

“Are you done now?”

“thank you.”

“Rather than that, in the first place, the princess had no reason to suggest such things to Ian and Selina, and since Selina was the one who got caught, what are you suspicious of? Isn’t that right? Grace.”

“……Sorry. I guess I was oversensitive.”

I politely bow my head and apologize.

The saintess, who could tell the difference between truth and lies, might have had something that I couldn’t see.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t a guy who would do it without reason, so I decided to hand it over.

“Okay, let’s think about this later. It’s not a problem that will interfere with our daily life or battles, it’s urgent to solve the problem right in front of our eyes.”

Soon, it’s time to arrive at the Phrygia family.
