Chapter 79 – Became a Witch’s Assistant. (2)

“What do you mean by assistant?”

I asked at the sudden offer.

“It is literally. Won’t you work my assistant for the rest of the year? The daily wage will be taken care of for sure.”

“Hmm… It’s a bit sudden. If you work as an assistant, what do you do?”

Are you thinking of letting me see the store?
Or are you thinking of using her as a massage assistant?

The latter was a possibility, but perhaps it was related to this wad of paper.

“Before I talk about work, I want to ask you one thing.”

Riel looked at me, turning her eyes golden.
The feeling of being pierced through everything is something I never get used to even over time.

“If I can give you an answer, I will.”

“Okay. Don’t think too hard and it’s okay to answer comfortably. You don’t even have to ask such an embarrassing question.”

She said as Riel crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair, smiling at her.
However, the moment those eyes were stained with gold, the sensation was not comfortable.

“All right.”

But for now, she nodded her head to say yes.

“Siwoo, what do you think of Mine?”

Riel asked me.
At the same time, she considered the intention of her question.
What does she think of Mine? Isn’t she Mine just Mine?

Or do you have other intentions?

“Isn’t Mine just Mine? If you ask what she thinks of it in a different way, she doesn’t think so.”

Although I nodded her head as if Riel was satisfied with her answer, I saw her reaction and realized that it was not completely the answer she was looking for.

“Yes, the last time I hunted Mine, they ruthlessly tore them to death.”

Huhu, Riel laughed as if he was having fun recalling the situation at the time.
But she ruthlessly tore to death.
It wasn’t quite like that.
I don’t even have the fighting power to tear them to pieces in the first place.

But she didn’t want to blow her candle to make her happy, so she just listened in silence.

“How exhilarating it was when those idiots rushed to kill each other… Hmmmm, that was a long talk.”

Suddenly, she almost counted the other way, but fortunately Riel cleared her throat.

“It’s okay. But didn’t you want a different answer?”

“Okay. Demons are beings forcibly accepted by humans. So when they die, they turn to dust like monsters and leave magic stones behind.”

After Riel had said that, I finally understood the intention behind her question.

It was mentioned several times in the original work.
She continued to argue over whether Mine was a human or a monster.
Of course, after the demons first appeared on the ground, they were treated as monsters.

“Okay. I consider Mine to be a monster.”

Most demons are driven by the shady desires of humans.
That’s why I make a contract with them and plant demonic energy.
And in order to gain more magic, he sacrificed others.

There’s no way that humans who turned into demons like that could be good people.
Mostly evil

Things like stories are ultimately inexcusable.
Having played the game, I thought so.

If that’s the case, it was the same for Ayoung who made a contract with the devil in the original work, but now it’s completely different, so it doesn’t matter at all.
‘Cause I made it so
“I see.”

Was this answer correct?
Riel, her gold-tinted eyes turning red again, nodded her head in satisfaction.

“Then it is simple. As an assistant, your job is to help me hunt the demons.”

I nodded my head at the expected question.

But do I really need help?
In the first place, what Riel couldn’t do, I couldn’t do either.

All the skills I use can also be used by Riel.
Maybe it’s all about giving buffs.

Unfortunately, she can’t give Riel a mana buff.
Other stats such as stamina and agility were possible, but her mana stat had already reached its limit.

Since she is not from this world, she can’t see her stat window, but considering that she can’t raise her mana stat, she probably does.

“Can I be of any help?”

However, my thoughts and hers may differ.

“To be honest, it won’t help much.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

I asked just in case, but it was.
I had already expected it, but hearing it directly from her made me feel a little depressed.

“You don’t have to be so depressed. You don’t necessarily have to hunt the demons yourself.”

Was it tea?
Riel said, raising the corner of her mouth slightly.

“Don’t you think of demons as monsters for your own reasons? You already know everything.”

Riel asked me, crossing her arms meaningfully.

Its own reason
That’s not wrong.
That’s not entirely true.

Is Riel mistaking her for something?
Do you think I have a grudge against the demons for some reason?
To put it bluntly, it wouldn’t be completely wrong.

Han Geon-woo, who became a demon last time, kidnapped Laysha.
But I don’t think he meant it that way.

I’m just doing it to live in peace with my lovers.

“Yeah… Well, that’s right.”

But I didn’t have to deny it.
It seemed more comfortable to just let Riel misunderstand.

“Yes, you know that demons will invade this world in the near future.”

Then Riel asked, looking me in the eye with her serious expression.
At those words, I realized what she was mistaken about.
You must be thinking that I have crossed her dimension just like her.

“There is no need to panic. Don’t you know That I am the same.”

And Riel said with a bitter expression.

“Yes.”

I didn’t bother to correct Riel’s misunderstanding.

“I won’t dig too deep. I just want to share a little story.”

Then, as if reminiscing about the past, he murmured softly in a faint atmosphere.

‘An old story…?’

But she can’t fulfill Riel’s wish.
If you attack her in her game, she will tell you the story of her original world intermittently, but it is too extreme information.

Of course, Riel and Dorando weren’t meant to talk about the old days.

“… That would be nice, but shouldn’t we hunt the demons quickly?”

I said with determination in my voice.

“… Huhu, yes. You are right.”

Fortunately, I was able to successfully redirect the conversation.

“Before that, I have something to say.”

“Yes.”

“My sister doesn’t build up her status as a wizard anymore.”

The heights do not accumulate.
Of course I know.

Depending on the game setting, each dimension has a different way to grow.

Demons of the underworld obtain demonic energy by fulfilling and absorbing human desires.
The world I currently live in gains points by attacking the glass world and grows based on it.
And her world… I don’t know exactly, but maybe it’s not awakening, it’s training.

In any case, Riel had forcibly crossed over from her own world to this world.
Hunters in this world must awaken to gain points and increase their mana stats.

And she’s not an Awakener.
So there is no choice but to build a state.

“If you’re an older sister now, dealing with a viscount-level demon would be the limit.”

Is it unfair?
Riel could see the strength in her hands.

“That’s why I wanted to take you. Siwoo who can acquire magic will be able to get stronger faster and take revenge on the demons.”

“Yes.”

In the end, it seems that the reason she wanted to make me her assistant was to make me absorb the demons she hunted.

And freebies are always sweet.
And I also had a different reason from her, but her purpose was the same, so she didn’t have to reject it.

“All right. So when should we start?”

“Come back to the store by 9pm tomorrow.”

“… Can you give me a little more time? It was this morning that we escaped from the glass world.”

It hadn’t even been 12 hours since I had escaped from the glass world.
However, I can’t neglect them as I’m already going around to hunt demons.

“Hmm… The sooner the better… Siwoo also has his original life… I get it. Come back in four days.”

“Thank you.”

Then I’ll have to tell them first.
As she began to think about what to say, her head began to ache.

Of course, they wouldn’t have accepted it favorably if I told them to go somewhere else no matter how long it’s been since they escaped from the glass world.

Well, wouldn’t it be okay if I worked hard in the meantime?

“And to the lovers, noona will tell you. You seem to be quite respected.”

“That’s fine.”

They have already seen Riel open the door to the glass world and slaughter the monsters.
And he knew that they were looking at Riel with her respectful eyes.

Also, since I don’t know anything about demons, wouldn’t it be surprisingly easy to get permission?

“Okay. Then just go. Take those papers with you.”

“All right.”

At that moment, an intense light enveloped me and I was teleported back to my dorm room.

It was comfortable too.

When I checked the cube watch, there was no other contact, and there were several text messages from Seoin.
After sending a call to meet tomorrow, I put the wads of paper on the desk.

‘Oh right. I have to do laundry.’

After putting the blankets in the washing machine, I sat down on the desk chair again.

If she was Riel in the game, she wouldn’t have dealt with the mines herself.
Originally, she fought against the demons by building up a knapsack.

But is it because I intervened?
Riel’s behavior changed.

Then she looked through the documents Riel had given her.
Most of them were first-time groups.

From a group of mines that distribute drugs, to a group that secretly works with villains, to a group that commits all kinds of crimes, from kidnapping to robbery.

Even if the quality wasn’t good, it was too bad.

‘Some of them seem familiar…’

Naturally, the main enemies in the game were demons and demons.
That’s how many demons he dealt with and wiped out.

That’s why I saw some demons that I had seen in the original work, but most of them were unfamiliar.

‘Is the Demonic Cult still around?’

There was still no information about the Demonic Cult in the documents she handed over.
It certainly looks very different from the original.

She continued reading her papers.
It was a fairly high level of information, but the face and body size, mainly used techniques and criminal records were also written in detail.

But there were so many of them that it was impossible to remember them all.

[Ability: Create Memory (Lv10)? Cost: Regular 3500]

But I have a regular.
Most of them can be solved by consuming spirit, so there’s no need to go back.

I immediately selected YES and memorized the documents in detail without missing anything while slowly reading through them.
