Chapter 7 – Pandemonium #7
“Ugh… Big.”
My body and mind were so wrecked that I had no choice but to crawl on the floor and head to the library. Real life is so tight I can’t stand it.
Still, I got used to it, so I didn’t think about the earth well these days, but now I really desperately need the life of that time.
If you can go back, you can re-enlist ten times.
“…”
But I can’t go back Because in the first place, I was behind. I’m in a state where I fell here after searching for it, but I wonder if I can go back and go back.
Thinking about it made me feel so depressed that I was about to vomit. Who knows the heart of a person whose original body was shattered and fell into the demon realm?
“Olio. Gambas al haio.”
ㅡ Ming Miracle Ming Miracle.
It was when I climbed the stairs with difficulty like a caterpillar and came up to the floor where the library was.
“Huh? Isn’t that strange?”
A soft voice came from the other side.
“Who is it? I’m sure I’m the only one looking for the library?”
“Ah.”
Looking at it, a girl who seemed to be the same age as the demon girl who burst into tears while looking at me was looking at me with a black book in her arms, tilting her head.
A girl with long dark hair… She is wearing a gorgeous black dress. It didn’t look particularly ferocious, but rather a cute and pretty girl, but I already knew it.
That the demons came and laughed at me like this.
“And why are you crawling there… Ah? No way, brother? Participating in the Advent ceremony this time?”
Why do you really know everything?
There are no smartphones of these cubs, where do you get these latest news and pretend to know? If there is such a community, please let me know. Ask what the yudong-ro descending agent is.
“Ah, yes. That’s me.”
I was holding on tight to my mentality, wondering what kind of ridicule I would hear.
ㅡSue.
“Well?”
The girl who put down the large book she was holding in her arms sat down in front of me.
“I’m sorry… I’d die if I went.”
Then he looked down at me like he was looking at a poor puppy.
“So that’s why you were crawling? Because you knew you were going to die, in despair.”
You’re sharp
It’s really sad.
To the point where emotions run high.
“Heuk… Keuheuk!”
“Huh? Are you crying?”
“Huh!”
“Oh, what should I do? Now, wait. What should I do? Don’t cry, oppa.”
I made a whining sound for a moment, and the girl reacted as if she was genuinely sorry and tried to touch my hair.
“Kheuuuuu!!!”
I immediately burst into tears!!!
“Ah!”
And shouted!
Desperately with a crying face!
“Do, brother? Won’t you help this poor brother?!”
“Yes?!”
Bewildered expression.
But it has the potential to stimulate sympathy!
“Please! Help me!”
ㅡPay!
Immediately blow her body, grab the girl by the ankles, and howl ugly!
“Kyaaat! What are you doing! Wait! Be honest! Help?”
Did you respond to requests for help? It is certainly! You are showing me sympathy! And you look young! If you’re young, you might be soft-hearted! Because I was like that when I was little too!
Aim for it!
“Huh…! Help me, help me… Please save me, keuheuk!”
“Well, so what are you asking for help… It’s difficult… If you do this…”
Even though I was holding my ankles and crying, the girl just stood up and didn’t show any signs of kicking my hand… Not even her tone of voice!
It works!
“Aaaaa!!!”
So I cried even louder!
Like a baby!
“Okay! I’ll help you, so don’t cry, oppa. Oh my God. What’s this…”
Yoshi!
* *
The library was quiet because no one was using it. Even the librarians were made up of familiars with indeterminate forms, so they never made a sound. Occasionally I could hear the flapping of wings or the sound of prowling, but I couldn’t even call it noise.
“My name is Karti. Carti Velacru.”
The girl who brought me to her reserved seat sat me down and introduced herself.
“What’s your brother’s name?”
“I’m Culls… Culls Belacrew.”
“Stop it and tell me.”
He immediately wiped away his tears and nodded.
“Are you done?”
“It’s over.”
I looked straight ahead with clear vision.
She was a very well-behaved and beautiful girl. Sure now This girl would one day have a beauty similar to that of the heart-stoppingly beautiful Duchess.
But it won’t compare.
Unlike the heartless demons who drove her children to the pit of death, this girl named Karti in front of her reached out to me.
It has a human heart.
“…”
And I am now
Ugly, after crying and crying and begging for help from Carti, who has such a human heart, he received help. It’s really ugly. I am so pathetic myself. Daehan’s gun, am I, a retired army sergeant, begging for help from a kid much younger than me?
But it is unavoidable.
If only I could live
You can lick someone’s shoes like a dog. I have that kind of courage now. Have the courage to lick someone’s shoes! How could a man without courage do such a thing! I am braver than anyone! I will bravely get through!
“Okay. Then it looks like you’re ready to talk. Then Culce? Let me ask you this first. Why are you on the library floor?”
“Ah. That’s it.”
Anyway, I got help, but Karti looked really strong. First of all, the horns were quite pretty, and the energy I felt was unusual. When I saw it, it seemed that the stronger she inherited Duke Yeo’s powers, the closer her appearance became to it.
“It was crawling up, too.”
“That’s… Carti. Can I call you Carti?”
“Yes.”
“Carti. Do you know my situation?”
“Participating in the Advent ceremony? I know. It’s been rumored before. The lower clans in the palace feared that they would not be chosen, but it was Culse who was chosen.”
I know.
“You definitely look weak. Your origins look good, but did something go wrong during the birth process?”
“You know that?”
“Roughly. But I don’t know the details. Only my mother, the Duchess, would know. Anyway. Why are they in the library?”
“That’s what I mean. I don’t know anything about Advent or anything like that right now?”
“What?”
Briefly explained my history.
I don’t know if my head is the problem, but I had almost no magic power, and my ability to acquire language was seriously flawed, so I lived on the outside because I couldn’t learn the language. Meanwhile, the duke called and said that her life, no, the end of her life had been sentenced.
“Boo, sorry…”
After hearing the story, Karti wept as she covered her mouth with both hands. She seemed genuinely sorry for me.
“Aren’t you pitiful?”
“That’s what happened… Mother, the Duke is relentless in that respect… Her mother is kind, but she’s just that. She sees us as tools.”
Karti, who said that, looked a little sad.
She must be the age she wants to be loved by her mother.
“You can consume it anytime and replenish it anytime… Haa. Anyway, if my brother had grown up normally, he could have stayed with me in the palace. I really feel sorry for him because he is a failure. I really feel sorry for him…”
She is so pitiful that she can’t refute anything.
That’s me
“Yeah. That’s the situation. That’s why you don’t know anything. And nobody tells you.”
“Aren’t you going to tell me?”
“I went to the library to find information like that. Knowing what to learn will increase your chances of living.”
“So you said you came to the library to find information?”
“Uh.”
Cartiga suddenly nodded her head.
“Huh, sure.”
In a way that sounds very condescending. Or in a tone that seems pleasant.
“When it comes to looking for information, there’s no place like the library! Other demons don’t know much about it! My brother knows a little something!”
She said so
“Your brother likes books too, right? Huh?”
“Uh… Roughly? But I don’t know very well.”
“Great!”
What. Do you have a hobby of reading? But, in fact, it’s like the atmosphere it gives off, and the big book that looks like a magician. He seemed to like books.
It seems that I feel better because I am positive about my hobbies.
Also, a child is a child. He was born as a cruel demon, but he still had his innocence, probably because he was young. It’s so absurdly cute.
“Then Carti will help you! The library here has a lot of difficult books! It’s going to be hard to choose! You’ll need Carti’s help!”
“What…?!”
And!
And!
Aaaaa!
“Go, thank you!!! Karti!!! Thank you!!! You are my lifesaver!!!”
“Until the lifesaver… No. More than that, Culse oppa. How is it here?”
“Here?”
“Here! My reserved seat!”
Carti spun around as if to look around, spreading her arms.
Come to think of it, I said this is a reserved seat.
The place where I am sitting now is the space between the huge bookshelves in the library. But it’s not just empty space.
ㅡRemember.
Like playing with blocks.
Thick books piled up to form the walls, and the roof was covered with books. It feels like a secret base that I used to make and play as a child. It is decorated with parchment or scroll, and there is also a light inside, so it feels cozy.
“It was a house made of books, right? It’s cozy like a secret space.”
“Right?! These are all made from the books I read!”
“You read all of this?”
“Yes!”
Carti answered with her eyes shining as if she was in a very good mood.
Reading is no joke at a young age.
“Wow. You seem to really like reading Karti’s books.”
“I like you!”
Pure smile.
“So ask Carti everything!”
He is a really good boy!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I’m about to burst into tears!!!!!!
