Chapter 200 – How to Get Strong #03
The violet in me has always been a sweet and kind child.
Maybe that’s why, Violet, who was glaring at me now, couldn’t possibly adapt to the situation.
So here’s the question.
When someone who has never been angry gets angry, whose fault is it?
‘I don’t know why, but it must be my fault.’
It’s such a scary thing to do as usual. If Xiaomei or Unicor suddenly gets angry, you may wonder why they are doing this, but when Agnes or Violet get angry, your body reacts naturally and you become polite.
“Hey… First of all, I was wrong, Violet. Huh? Calm down.”
“Okay? If Artin said he was wrong, he must be really reflecting.”
“Yeah, I’m really reflecting, so… “
“So, what did I do wrong? What are you reflecting on?”
Fucked. Violet, who was like the incarnation of an angel who soothed me even when I had 4p orgy sex, now feels like a devil from hell.
“Hey, Violet-sama… ?”
“Al’ Miraz? You’re talking to Artin, right? Could you be quiet?”
“Hey, yes, yes!”
When I glanced to the side, the real devil from hell was sitting politely avoiding Violet’s fierce gaze of her, keeping an eye on her.
How is it that he expresses the strength of the weak and the weak with his whole body, is it normal to be like that if you live in a hell where you are strong and self-respecting?
“Artin, what is your answer?”
“That, that. You said you would sign a contract with Mephisto…? I think I did it wrong.”
“Hey, do you know why I did something wrong?”
I do not know.
I’m going crazy because I don’t know that. Were Violet and Mephisto on the bad side?
“..I guess I don’t know. Right?”
“I-that’s…”
“…Ha, Artin is such a problem. While taking care of others diligently, you have no idea what you are doing or how it looks from the side.”
Violet let out a frustrated sigh and sat down across from me again.
It was as if my anger was slowly sinking again, but I still couldn’t relax and couldn’t open my mouth at Violet’s anger in her, the first time I’d seen it in my life.
“Artin, even though I wasn’t much help to you in the 2nd or 4th rounds… But I have a lot of memories in my own way.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
“And the third time… Needless to say, I remember everything about how much effort you put in for me. That’s why I love you too.”
“That, is it? That’s a bit embarrassing…”
Looking at Violet, who blushed slightly when she said she loved her, it was like the usual Violet. To the point where the angry Violet from before felt like a lie.
“..Anyway, that’s why I remember, so I’ll ask just in case.”
However, right after that, Violet returned with an extremely serious expression, met my eyes, and slowly opened her mouth.
“Why didn’t you use the sword in the third round, Artin?”
“…Uh?”
“Not only that. They are asking why I was in a bad physical condition in the third episode and why I lived with a chronic illness that didn’t exist in the other episodes.”
“…Huh?”
“Answer me.”
The unexpected question that came out of Violet’s mouth left me speechless for a moment.
“That…”
“Since the episode has changed, don’t say that you changed jobs. You say you’re still a martial artist, but you use swords and magic and everything you need, right?”
“That…”
I tried to make a modest excuse, but Violet immediately stopped me, so I had nothing to say.
‘…No way, I didn’t expect to notice that.’
Perhaps it was because Violet’s guess was infinitely closer to the correct answer.
Actually, at the time of the 3rd playthrough, it was because I had to pay a considerable price to Mephisto to obtain the fragment of wisdom containing all magical knowledge.
*
Artine thinks that Violet is simply a good child, but as you can see from the head fight with the saintess, Violet is not just a good child.
No, rather, even within Artin’s harem, he was deep inside and had a lot of thoughts, but he didn’t reveal it outwardly and only showed a friendly side to Artin.
To set eyes on other women? I can tolerate enough. In fact, didn’t Violet herself get into the love relationship between Agnes and Artine?
Having promiscuous relationships with other lovers? I couldn’t stand it when I saw Artin’s happy face his. Because I know how much pain he felt for everyone.
It wasn’t trivial things like that that Violet couldn’t stand. No, any lover with memories of a past life would be worried only about things like Violet.
That was the spirit of sacrifice that Artin used to show in secret.
It’s a sacrifice to put it in a good way, crazy acts that others see as self-destruction.
The word obsession was awkward. Wouldn’t the word obsession be more appropriate?
Artin’s tenacity to support Cayenne and support her friends and colleagues her even while shedding her body, mind, and soul in each episode was so painful that it was hard to see her from the side of her.
– “Brother, I like it the way it is now. Rather than having a strange sense of duty, being so busy with training and dating alone that you can’t pay attention to other things is the way for you.”-
These are the words that Xiaomei, who watched the entire process from the sidelines, told Artin’s harem, and even Olga, who had a bad relationship with the harem, who had only experienced the third round of Artin, agreed to those words.
So, Violet was in tears throughout her midterms and stopped interacting with Artin. Because the current self thought that the priority was to regain your ability in the 3rd round and help Artin.
Despite such efforts, today, Artin spoke of the contract with Mephisto again as if it were not a big deal.
‘…No, I can’t put that enormous burden on Artin again.’
──Contract with the Devil
It was one of the worst powers that many humans have attempted since ancient times. Demons are mad artists who like to destroy everything based on contracts.
To such beings, no matter how much wealth or endless power they receive, it means nothing. For that moment will be an instant, and destruction will last forever.
Only witches derive from him who is allowed to make a pact with the devil.
Witches can make contracts with all beings in the world by Shiva, the first witch and wife of Solomon, the Constellation of the Covenant, and at the same time, no being can break or distort the contract with the witch.
Even the merchant’s play on words and the devil’s distortion do not work in the witches’ contract. That’s why only witches can handle that dangerous power.
They are the only beings who are said to be able to wield that power, even if even the demon king can make a contract.
Even among such unique beings, Violet was the most special. Granddaughter of the Archwitch? Descendants of the Queen of Sheba? That is a value that is not even a handful of Violet’s specialness her.
A contract with the overlord of hell, Mephistopheles, many witches that have existed since ancient times have tried it, but only Violet Purple Crow has really succeeded.
Even though he did n’t have all of Mephisto’s powers under his control his, who’s to blame for that? The mere fact that the contract was established proves that she is a witch superior to everyone else.
However, mankind at the time of the third play did not know. That it was n’t Violet who truly made Mephisto her own her and handled her powers her obtained through her contract her properly.
──Artin Ludwig, one of the few beings who could compete with Rich Harmon even with his mediocre magical talent. The noblest victim who was called a great wizard even though he was not a great wizard.
‘It’s stupid, I’m not strong enough to let that word come out of Artin’s mouth again.’
Someone might have been envious at seeing that enormous power, but Violet knew. How much Artin had to give up to gain that power.
Health, weakening of most organs, half of the soul, how many elixirs and potions were injected into the body to survive a day, suffering like a vampire in the sunlight.
Even so, the angel doctor Thomas and the saintess Olga took care of her body her, and the warrior Cayenne took care of her body her with the power of the goddess, and Artin was able to survive until the brink of a bold battle with the demon king.
Of course, at the time of the 3rd playthrough, I just thought it was because Artin’s body his was sore. However, in the memory of the 2nd and 4th rounds, wasn’t Artin looking very healthy?
“Don’t think of deceiving us, Artin. We know at least what you are about to do.”
“…We also have ramen.”
“Princess Agnes, Xiao-Mei, Olga and Cayenne, everything.”
“…”
“Why? You don’t have to touch that kind of power now, you’re strong enough. But why are you trying to make a contract with Mephisto?”
I honestly didn’t understand.
Right now, at most, the first semester of the first year, even if I recall all my memories so far, I wouldn’t need that much strength at this point.
“That’s right, Violet, as you said, it’s at least the time when the midterms are over.”
“So, if we join forces together and slowly become stronger——!”
“But the Demon King’s servants and the Demon King’s army corps commander have already appeared. At least before the midterms even started.”
“…”
“It’s so high, the difficulty of the event is so high that it doesn’t even make sense compared to before.”
Artin closed his eyes tightly. What if he had been through the last 2 incidents in the 2nd round?
“If the power thief hadn’t targeted me at dawn, many students would have died. If it was Agnes or you who were caught by the power thief instead of Cayenne, you might have lost your life.”
“…”
“A rose garden? Even after preparing and moving like that, if Mephisto hadn’t descended, someone might really have died. Not only Lilith herself, but Unicor and I must have lost our lives on the Sirka line. Lilith must have descended to the academy.”
In fact, originally, events such as the Rose Hall event usually started from the second semester of the second year at the earliest, and the power thief would have to be mobilized in the second semester of the first year, with Xiaomei and the main members , to deal with it without damage.
“It’s only been the midterm exams, but now the world is sending us events with clearly strange difficulty levels. As if to prove that everything up until now has only been a tutorial.”
Artin clearly remembered the words in the status window that the tutorial had been completed the moment he connected the inherited trait with Unicor.
“And without any exceptions, in each episode right after the midterm exams, incomparable incidents occurred.”
“That…”
“Even though the dungeon training was only an invasion led by a high-ranking demon, Cayenne and I couldn’t stop people from dying every time. Enemies that exceed our experience have appeared every time.”
So it wasn’t enough
Unicor’s power was not enough. At most, it was not enough to surpass the first year’s crown prince.
It wasn’t enough even with the power of an angel. Even Xiao Mei, the realm of superhumans, has not been able to stop all people from dying, but this power that has not yet become a superhuman is overwhelmingly lacking.
However, Artin’s calm words made Violet’s heart burn even more.
“Because of that! The person to sacrifice doesn’t have to be you! Me too, Cayenne too! There are many other colleagues!”
I still couldn’t understand. If she were to make a contract with Mephisto, it would be right for Violet to do it herself, and if she were to become stronger, she would have to add the powers of Xiaomei and Cayenne, and if she was using power, she would have to add the powers of Princess Agnes and Saint Olga.
No, at least it would be enough to ask Marianne, who became her lover her, or her teacher her, the Heavenly Demon, for help.
“Because I don’t want to regret it.”
Naturally, Violet didn’t know why. The reason was Artin himself.
“Right, as you said, there is no need to make a contract with Mephisto at this point.”
“Maybe we can finish the dungeon practice without much trouble, because now it’s hard to even call a high-ranking demon a foe.”
“Even if unimaginable hardships come your way, with the help of the Heavenly Demon, your sister, and even Olga, you might be able to solve them without anyone dying or getting hurt.”
In her calm words Her, Violet was feeling sadness.
It wasn’t Violet’s own sadness, but the sadness she had hidden deep inside Artine, but at this moment, she couldn’t stand it and leaked out.
“But what if someone gets hurt? What if someone dies?”
“…”
“Now to me, you guys are more important than my life. But if I lose one of you, can I still be sane?”
“…That.”
“You will regret it. Why didn’t I do my best to prepare?”
Artin himself could be sure of this. It was clear that he would not be able to withstand the sadness and collapse.
“Why didn’t I sign a contract with the devil, why couldn’t I go outside the academy and gather talent?”
“Why did I waste my time? If you didn’t play then, if you didn’t rest then, if you took risks then. As you review this life countless times, you will regret it like crazy.”
“Artin…”
“Then, in the end, I might even regret the time I spent laughing and being happy with you guys.”
That was more terrifying than death to Artin.
Looking back at his collapsed self his, he regrets even the happiness he had with his lovers his, and what kind of monster he has become when he builds up those feelings again while killing them.
“I realized that, even if you return, that world will not disappear. It remains even after my death, and only after seeing the end will the world come to an end.”
“But if I choose to return as a means, as I did in the 4th inning… No, if I spend countless hours with you as a tool for the sake of a perfect one… “
“The last me will surely not be able to forgive myself and collapse.”
At those words, Violet tightly closed her eyes.
No matter what expression Artin’s face was making, it was because he didn’t have the confidence to face it now.
“So, I don’t want to regret any more. By any means. I am greedy.”
However, if you listen to Artin’s watery voice, it seems that you can understand it without looking at his expression.
