Changing CC to Cece   EP 103: Funeral of the Abandoned   At the sudden scream that seemed to naturally pop out, Kaiton’s eyebrows shot up. Whether deliberately or unconsciously, Kaiton’s red tongue swept across his lips. He looked sensual enough to double her embarrassment. She gulped without realizing it and averted her gaze, flustered….

EP: 100   ***   The first thing that caught Muriel’s eyes when she woke up was Kaiton’s side profile. He was completely absorbed in his work without noticing that Muriel had woken up. His lips were tightly shut, and his focused brow showed his concentration. Kaiton, who usually approached magic with a nonchalant attitude,…

EP: 99   Muriel opened her eyes in a familiar place. A place where an unmelting snowman sat by the window, where firewood with the smell of snow was piled high next to the fireplace. The house was also filled with hand-made props that seemed to be made with sincerity. It was the house on…

EP: 98   “I have nowhere to go. Tucker and Rockford are in the same situation. They both may look otherwise, but… they’re good people. They’ll be nice to you, sister. Can you please take us with you?”   What do you mean nice? They were just chasing her to kill her. Tucker also seemed…

EP: 97   When fear didn’t show in Muriel’s eyes, the tip of Tucker’s knife dug into her skin. It was meant to frighten her. However, even at a glance, the woman, who seemed like a noble lady raised in a precious house, was not afraid at all. His eyes read a face filled with…

EP: 96   The expedition team setup to retrieve the last fragment was much more colorful than the previous one. Unlike last time, which only consisted of Kaiton, Muriel, and Fen, this time Ondal, August, Debbie, and Sadie joined as well. With the addition of these four, the scale was quite big.   “I’m coming,…

EP: 95   “Why… is everyone gathered here?”   This was too much… Muriel looked at the people filling her room. All the black wizards, including Debbie and Sadie, as well as August, Kaiton, and Ondal, were gathered in Muriel’s room.   It was so hot that it was hard to breathe. Muriel wondered how…

EP: 94   “What are you doing…”   Muriel nervously paced back and forth, watching Kaiton with her eyes. He was fighting against the creature that had finally appeared. It was a demon harboring a fragment of Ur’s sculpture, just as the rumors had said.   The creature had a peculiar appearance, as if it…

EP: 93   “We’re going to rest here for a while. Take a short nap.”   Kaiton lit a small fire in front of the small cave. The search for monsters was taking longer, and the surroundings had already turned into a pitch-black night. The situation was bad. Since she planned to return to the…

EP: 92   “Is this real?”   Kaiton was using the former lord’s study as his workshop, and there, gathered before him, were the black wizards with determined expressions. They were one step faster than Muriel, who had been searching for him all morning, not only in his room but also in the dining hall…

EP: 91   knock, knock.   “Kaiton… Are you in there?”   Muriel waited cautiously for his answer in the unusually quiet hallway on the third floor, but no answer came from inside the room for a while. Muriel just stood in front of the closed door and waited quietly. Fen beside her looked up…

EP: 90   “The Murishis make a grating sound, so it’s not cute when they do it. But that’s not the case for the Captain. Every time she goes ‘kyuing-kyuing’ my heart hurts.”   “Her gaze is haughty and sharp, but she goes ‘Kyu-ing’ with that indifferent face? The unexpected cuteness coming from that stark…

EP: 89   “Ha! Run faster, my horse. Tak, tak, tak.”   Sadie, sitting on top of the Murishi, quickly dashed forward. Behind her, two black wizards, also sitting on the Murishis’ back, followed closely behind. However, Sadie and her Murishi stood out among them. Sadie remained steady and unwavering on top of the Murishi…

EP: 88   It was unexpectedly easy to persuade the Murishi. It was surprising how fast the guys famous for being timid accepted the proposal.   “I won’t let you go hungry. I’ll feed you everyday, a place to rest, and protect you from hunters.”   [You’ll give us food?]   [Monster. Monster meat.]  …

EP: 87   The Murishi appeared at the abandoned estate with rotten monsters all over it after three days. The speed at which the creatures decayed was astonishing. They had to endure two and a half days of them melting away and creating a foul-smelling, slimy river.   During this time, Muriel had been relentlessly…

EP 86   Escaping the cocoon was harder than Muriel had thought. If Kaiton hadn’t come to her rescue, she wondered if she would have been trapped in the cocoon for a long time… or perhaps forever.   In order to get out of the cocoon, she had to kill the dream butterfly, but she…
