Chapter 206 – Memory (2)
His breathing his quickened and his fingertips trembled. It was because the giggling demon with a strangely distorted face was enough to give fear. His heart his beat so fast that he wanted to run away at any moment, but Theorard calmly closed his eyes and recited his prayer.
‘The god of light takes care of me, so let no evil harm me.’
Theorard knew. He said that the power itself of the Oblivion Monster is insignificant.
He was merely adept at frightening humans and eating away their memories thanks to his innate ability to shape-shift on his own.
If you continue the conversation led by the oblivion monster here in fear, you may lose yourself in the worst case.
So giving the initiative to the Oblivion Monster was absolutely unacceptable.
‘There is nothing to be afraid of.’
Theorard, who has calmed his breathing, opens his eyes slowly. The appearance of the monster of oblivion had changed even more grotesque than before, but Theorard’s emotions did not stir at all.
Fear recedes in a calm mind like Myeong-gyeong-su, and anger towards evil finds itself.
Theorard frowned and murmured at the oblivion monster in front of him.
“Something like a low-level demon. Where did you dare to come to this place?”
The oblivion monster, which had let out a dreary sound, hesitated. He thought he would tremble in fear and beg for his life his, but he was taken aback when the other party was angry.
“If you want to die.”
Theorard, biting his teeth, took a step forward. The oblivion monster with three mouths and eight eyes on its face was visibly shrinking. Eight eyes blinked in unison, but not one of them met Theorard.
“It came well. I will personally rip off your flesh.”
The cold eyes make the oblivion monster retreat. It was because the thought that Theorard might be a strong person outside the standard was ringing an alarm bell in the head of the oblivion monster.
“Kee…… Kiyi……!”
Grinding his teeth and trembling in his eyes, the Oblivion Monster suddenly turned and ran away. As he runs away, his skin his spreads through his back his and flaps ugly in the shape of wings.
Unsure whether it is running or flying, the oblivion monster hastily leaps towards the stairs. Kudangtangtang! The oblivion monster, which had fallen down the landing, went downstairs and disappeared.
Then Theorard let out a deep breath and grabbed the brooch around his neck. If the monster of oblivion noticed that it was smoke and rushed at it, he didn’t know what to do, but it was fortunate that the operation worked.
‘More than that….’
Power enters his hand holding the brooch. Unknowingly frowning, Theorard could feel the disappearing sense of fear returning.
‘What memories did I lose?’
Theorard had a brief chat with the oblivion monster whom he mistook for Baenon. At that time, he must have memories of being taken away.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what the memories were stolen from. If it was natural, it was natural. Just because I wanted to recall it didn’t mean that the lost memories would come back.
“Please, I hope it wasn’t an important memory…….”
Theorard, muttering with earnestness, moved on with his steps. I had to inform my family as soon as possible that the oblivion monster had invaded the mansion.
*
The next morning.
Sunlight through the window tickles your cheeks.
Sensing that the morning had come, the elf pricked up his pointy ears and opened his eyes. The narrowed eyes stare blankly at the bedspread, then close again.
However, she could not enter the land of dreams again. It was because not only the sound of footsteps echoing here and there, but also the raucous voices of family members were disturbing the elf’s sleep of her.
‘Why are you so noisy…….’
You still have a little time left to start your routine. The babbling elf propped up on the bed with a disapproving expression and raised his upper body.
I let out a big yawn, not paying attention to the nightgown that was slipping down her shoulders. The elf, who was rubbing her eyes her, got up from his seat and walked to the desk. Because there was no closet, clothes were stacked on top of the desk.
Standing in front of the desk, the elf casually took off her pajamas and took out white stockings while wearing only her underwear. After sitting on a chair, he put her feet up and insert her toes to secure the hem of the stocking.
At first, this feeling was uncomfortable, but now I’m used to it. Have I become too accustomed to the role of a maid? The elf muttered inwardly and pulled the stocking all the way up to above the knee her.
The opposite leg was also slowly pulled up to the thigh after going through the same process. After that, get up and put the remaining part on top. It felt a bit snagged at the hip of her, but when I pulled it up, it came up to my waist.
The elf let out the breath he had been holding back with a gleeful face, and this time he began to put on the maid’s uniform her.
After dressing up in a juseom juseom outfit, he put on an apron, put on a hair band, and carefully hung a red ribbon next to it.
“Well….”
The elf, who was checking her outfit in the mirror placed on the desk, began to fine-tune the position of the ribbon as if she didn’t like something.
The desire to look even a little prettier worked on Theorard. Staring at herself in the mirror, the elf eagerly tying the ribbon heard footsteps approaching quickly outside her door her.
When I look back because I want something, the door opens urgently. The man who opened the door was none other than David.
“Ah.”
Seeing the elf well dressed in the maid uniform, Harvid sighed in relief. Still, Harvey cautiously asked if he was not satisfied.
“Don’t ask just in case. Do you remember me?”
“…… Chief of Staff? What are you talking about?”
“You remember. I’m really fortunate How worried I was that you might have been hurt…….”
The sighs he exhaled in succession made the elf wonder. The elf, who blinked his red eyes a few times, asked back.
“Has anything happened to the mansion?”
“That is…”
What’s the point of hiding it now? Harvey, with a puzzled face, nodded his head.
“It seems that the oblivion monster has invaded the mansion. We urgently call the priests of the nearby parish to set up a barrier around the mansion and are tracking down the oblivion monster, but it won’t be easy.”
“The oblivion monster broke into the mansion…… ?”
Are you saying that demons come and go while you sleep? Then what about Theorard? Anxiety made his heart beat, but the elf moved his lips as calmly as possible.
“Master, are you all right?”
“Okay. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem. However, since the family lord first discovered and expelled the monster of oblivion, it cannot be said that there will be no damage to the memory. The exact thing is to call an astrologer and get a mental evaluation.”
On the surface, there is no problem. It was a fortunate thing out of misfortune. There were many cases where a person with a low level of magic would lose himself if he talked to the oblivion monster for a long time.
I wanted to see Theorard as soon as possible. As the elf bit his lip in impatience, Harvey turned around as if he understood.
“Follow me. I will guide you to where the head of the house is.”
*
The elf, who had followed David down to the first floor of the mansion, paused while walking in the courtyard corridor. It was because Bainen, who came out from the other side, was glaring at us with a rather serious expression.
Just like the elf, Harvey, who had stopped, looked at Bainan in a pitiful way.
“Hey. I know what you’re thinking, but we’re not oblivion monsters, so get out of the way.”
Bainen didn’t answer. It’s an expression of her willingness to be as careful as possible as long as the possibility of her being a doppelgänger remains.
With her hand on the blade of her sword, Bey Nun sneaked up to her and pulled out a cross from her bosom her. Then she patted Elf and Harvid on the shoulder.
Still, when there is no change in the expression of Havid and Elf, he coughs as if he is embarrassed.
“Uh, hmm. I did a bit of checking to see if it was an oblivion monster. Of course, I knew from the beginning, but just in case…….”
Excuses are lame The elf, who was looking at Bainen with a displeased look, said.
“Where is the master?”
“Ah. If it’s the young master, he’s in the front yard. He gathered his family members and checked to see if anyone had lost their memory his. Of course I thought you called, but did n’t you hear back?”
“Yes. So now, with the chief chamberlain…….”
The elf was puzzled and shut his mouth. It certainly wasn’t normal that I didn’t hear from you until all the family members were together.
In addition, Harvey did not say, ‘The head of the household told me to bring it’. He had voluntarily climbed up to the attic and brought down the elf.
I feel a sense of alienation without realizing it. However, since it was a question that could not be easily solved, the elf shook his head to clear his thoughts.
“…… Thank you for your words.”
The elf, who answered Bainun in a nonchalant way, moved her steps with Harvey. After leaving the courtyard, passing through the long hallway, opening the front door and coming out, I saw the family members of the mansion huddled together in front of the stairs.
Theorard passed between them, asking each one simple questions. It seemed that he was talking to him to see if he had lost his memory of him.
“Theorard…….”
It was a face that looked normal even to the looks of it. Talking with his family members and laughing in between seemed rather lively than the usual Theorad.
Thank god. I’m so glad. The elf muttered lowly and stroked her chest. The thought that the oblivion monster couldn’t harm Theo Rad made his whole body feel relaxed.
A smile forms on your lips. I wanted to go downstairs and tell Theorard I was fine.
‘Because Theorad would have been worried about me.’
If the fact that he hadn’t been attacked by the monster of oblivion could ease his worries his, it was right to do so.
The elf quickly descended the stairs with the hem of his skirt gently pulled up, and his eyes met Theorard who just happened to come out from behind the family.
“Master……!”
When the elf called first, Theorad, who had been blank for a moment, smiled kindly. It was really nice to see her white teeth exposed under the warm sunlight.
Theorard smiled and approached, holding the elf’s hand lightly. The rest of the hand was willing, and a friendly smile appeared on the elf’s face his.
I felt so happy that all the bad thoughts I had yesterday were gone. It was around the time when I thought it would be all right if I could just live by Theorard’s side.
“Sorry. I was so busy with work that I didn’t realize you were there. By the way…”
Theorard tilts her head curiously.
“Are you a new servant in the mansion today? It’s the first time I’ve seen your face.”
At the same time, all the family members, including the elves, stopped talking.
