Chapter 138 – School Trip (6)

“Laysha, what happened?”

Laying on her bed and holding Ayoung’s hand as she exhaled lightly, she asked Laysha.

“…Why isn’t Ayoung waking up?”

Ah-young used most of her mana and fell into a mana deficit.
She had already fed her mana potions, and her natural mana began to fill up automatically thanks to her ability to become one with water.

But she said it’s already been an hour since she returned to the hotel.
If she was original, even if she had come to her senses a long time ago, she wouldn’t have been weird.

But she didn’t even show signs of waking up.

“I’m sorry… She lost her mind for a while in the middle…”

Ley Sha replied, lowering her head as if to discredit her.

“I don’t mean to resent you. There’s nothing wrong with Laysha, right?”

Rather, she would have done well enough.
Even though she had no sword, she left a wound in his side.
Perhaps she used a sword made of rose leaves.

Before passing out, she expected that she had left him with a mortal wound.

“But…”

“It’s okay, it’ll happen anyway if you wait a little longer, won’t it?”

At my words, Laysha and Chloe smiled with slightly awkward expressions.
They, too, must have realized long ago that her child’s condition was not serious.
As much as that, I felt awkward consideration in their expressions.

“You will be fine.”

“Okay…”

A moment of silence passed.

“Sir, we’ll go out for a while and check the situation.”

“It’s fine if you do. Thank you.”

Are you caring for me?
Laysha spoke to me and Chloe nodded her head in agreement with Laysha.

The girls left the room and only Ah-young and I were left in the room.

“Ha…”

As she let out a big sigh, she felt the stuffy sensation in her chest relieve to some extent.

‘A thousand horses…’

Quite a number.
When he went out hunting with Riel, he was able to hunt 100 demons in 10 days.
But now, as many as 1,000 horses were gathered on Jeju Island.

Since the instructors were basically together, there were almost no cases like that, but there were definitely times when the villains attacked.

That’s why all the people who acted as ghosts in the courage test were hunters.
There were several hunters that I didn’t even notice with my senses.

But how did Golden Sun attack just in time for Laysha and Ayoung?

Since Gold Sun was a mid-level demon, she was able to have the appearance of a normal human.
Except for Riel, humans are still unable to distinguish whether they are humans or demons unless they manifest demonic energy.

But even so, if an outsider entered the forest, there would have been some restrictions.

‘It’s a spy.’

After thinking that far, I concluded that the spy was hiding.

“Whoa… For once.”

I was sure there was a spy planted, so I had to find the spy.
She couldn’t leave Ah-yeong in this state, so the moment she was about to send her telegram to Chloe, the door opened and Lee Yu-ri entered.

“What’s going on here?”

“I just came to see if you’re okay. Isn’t it too cold? Quit it if you doubt me. I have no intention of being hostile to humans? Didn’t you hear that from that Carat boy?”

Yuri said, referring to Riel’s pseudonym, Carat.
She made it clear that she had never asked such a question and that she had no intention of antagonizing humanity.
She was, if I had to say, the one who said she hated demons more than humans.

“I have no doubts.”

Yuri opened her eyes wide in surprise at my words.

“Okay? Of course I thought you would be suspicious of me. Do you think she has quite a bit of confidence in her Carat’s ability?”

I nodded and answered.
If you can’t trust Riel’s ability, who else should you trust?
And she might have circumvented the answer vaguely, but she said:

-Have no intention of harming humans, either indirectly or directly, and you say you really hate demons?

“I’m sorry to hear what happened to that sinister girl. Is she a loving lover? I don’t understand.”

“Thank you, but be careful with your words.”

What is wrong with such a kind and lovable Ahyeong?

“Huh? You’re a demon and don’t feel anything?”

“What are you talking about?”

In an instant, I felt my heart drop and then rise again.

“You can feel the energy of the spirits from him. It should be really bad and ominous, right?”

Yuri said as if it was common sense.

“… At all.”

Her words made me think.
Was the relationship between demons and spirits bad in the game?

As far as I remember, there was no such information.

“But it’s a little better than before. I think the ominous energy has weakened.”

“What?”

At those words that I could never let go, I jumped up from the chair next to the bed and grabbed her forearms.

“Why, why are you doing this…?”

As if unable to understand my sudden action, Yuri limped on her words.

“Your energy has weakened, what do you mean?”

“Ah… Now, wait a minute. Now I’m in a normal human condition It hurts if you push it that hard.”

Could it be that power was put into my hands without even knowing it?
I removed her hand from holding her forearm.

“Whoa… A woman’s body is fragile, so it should be treated with care? It’s exciting to see such a reckless appearance.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“He’s an iron-clad man again today… Anyway, what did I say? It’s just that the spirit energy I can literally feel from her has diminished. Maybe that’s why you can’t wake up right now?”

Spirit energy has decreased.
I pondered what that word meant.

‘No way…’

Did the spirit die in the battle with the golden sun?
If so, Ayoung, whose mind is connected to the spirit, will inevitably suffer a major blow.

“Is the spirit dead?”

“Um… I don’t know about that. Because I am human now. Would you like to take a look?”

“…What are you asking for?”

“What? Just helping.”

I didn’t think there was any reason why Yuri would be so kind, but she said it calmly, as if she really didn’t want anything.

“Why?”

“Um… Just? There’s something that Ahyeong said.”

“What is that…”

After thinking for a while, Yuri looked at her Ah-young and said.
I wanted to ask if there was something of their own without my knowledge, but Yuri cut me off.

“Come on, isn’t that important right now? Well, if you’re so grateful, I’d be grateful if you could do it with me.”

“…”

“I’m kidding. You’ll hate me if I force you, right?”

What should I say?
I couldn’t find a suitable answer.
To be honest, I was a bit reluctant to ask for her help, but I had no choice but to ask for her help as I did not have the Spirit Eye ability.

And her appearance began to change.

The freckles on her face disappeared and her normal long hair turned pink.
That was all.
It was an unexpected transformation.

“Is that the original look?”

“Yeah, it’s just that the face has changed. The breasts and pussy are the same as human and succubus, do you want to check it?”

Yuri asked with a captivating look as she gently lifted the loose top that was covering her voluptuous breasts.

“… Now that it’s done, can you take a quick look at it?”

“Hehe… The reaction is a little cute. Wait a minute.”

With a small smile, she looked at Ayoung.
Then, her eyes shone softly, and her face began to darken gradually.

“Hmm…?”

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing her complex expression made me feel uneasy again.
Is the spirit really dead?

“First of all, the spirit isn’t dead… But it’s getting corrupted.”

“What the fuck?”

What kind of nonsense is that that the spirit is corrupted?

“Looking at it, it looks like a wind spirit… It was eroded by Magi. In this state, you will become a demon in a week.”

“Isn’t that a nonsense word? Why do spirits become demons!?”

I hadn’t even heard of the spirits being corrupted.
Even in the game, there was no mention or information about the spirit being corrupted.
It could have just been something I didn’t remember, but that doesn’t make sense, to forget such important information.

“Um… Did you, by any chance, grow up in the human world?”

“… Huh.”

It was only natural that I, a human being, grew up in the human world, so I nodded in reply.

“Okay, listen carefully. There are three main types of demons. The first is the original demon, which has existed since the beginning. Most of them are demons with a title of count or higher. And the second is a demon who was born as an ordinary human being.”

And Yuri, who stopped talking for a moment, looked sideways at Ayeong.
No, it was like he was worried about something.
Are her spirits speaking to her?

“Lastly, demons whose spirits were corrupted and became ejaculatory spirits. Most control spirits do not fall directly, but become control spirits because they are encroached on by demonic energy.”

“…So Wendy… Are you saying that the wind spirit is like that now?”

“Huh. No, could you be quiet for a little bit? You are talking right now.”

Yuri, who answered my words, looked in the direction where Ah-yeong was and said.

“So, is there a solution?”

“Simple. It’s enough to just take out the demonic spirit that is encroaching on the spirit. It’s not that hard of a job.”

“Okay.”

He was confident in controlling the magic.
And it’s not a difficult task, isn’t it?

“But what are you going to do? You can’t see the spirits.”

“…”

As she said, I couldn’t see the spirits.

“I will do it. Because I can do enough.”

“But… No, I will definitely pay the debt.”

“It’s okay. Because it’s what I want to do.”

What do you think is good about helping me without paying anything?
I couldn’t understand, but I couldn’t refuse.

“It will be over soon.”

A little bit of demonic energy emanated from Yuri’s body and headed to the side where Ayoung was lying.

Then, a new demonic energy appeared in the air as if it were wrapped around something, and it began to cling to the glassy demonic energy.

Did it last like 10 minutes?
Demonic energy was no longer created from the air, and Yuri, who confirmed that, took her own demonic energy.

“Whoa… It’s over.”

Yuri took a small breath and said.
Then, as if the spirits started talking to her, she looked into the air.

“Yeah, it’s a good devil, so don’t worry too much. Got it? Yes yes, nice.”

I had already seen Ah-young converse with her spirits many times, so I was used to talking while staring into the air, but it felt a little strange because it was Yuri, not Ah-young.

“But didn’t you hate spirits?”

“Um… What should I say… Should I say reluctant rather than disliked? Should I say it’s ominous? Anyway, other than that, no problem.”

“I see.”

“Huh. Anyway, I took out the magic that was being consumed by the wind spirit, and the spirit will recover after a while. Then your girlfriend will wake up too.”

“Thanks. I will definitely repay the debt.”

“It’s okay.”

Having said that, Yuri slapped my butt.

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

“… Bye.”

Yuri also left and I was left alone in the room again.

‘The Fallen Spirit and Ayoung…’

I started to feel uncomfortable, as if I was about to realize something.

After thinking about it for a while, the door opened again and Laysha and Chloe entered.

“Seobang-nim, the homeroom teacher is looking for you.”

“Okay?”

It was a car that I thought it was time to call me.

I immediately stood up from the chair I was sitting on.

“Ayeong, I will be watching, so please go.”

“Yes, please. Call me right away if anything happens.”

The instructors told the students to ring the fire alarm if something happened inside the hotel.
She nodded her head to see if she understood what I was saying.

After asking Chloe for Ayoung, I headed to my homeroom teacher.
