Episode 169

Knock knock-.

Lianus poked at the vines that still wrapped around the boy. They seemed a bit fluffy for a plant. Maybe there was cotton inside.

The sensation was so unique that he kept touching it, and from somewhere, a very thin vine came and gently wrapped around Rianus’ finger.

Sir Evan, who was nearby, waved his hand in fright, but the vine gently grabbed his hand and moved its tip gently.

The small leaves that resembled a baby’s hand looked a little cute.

“Hey, let go of this.”

Lianus looked up at Sergius, who was struggling while entangled in the vines. After all, he was the heir to the Count’s family, so was it okay to treat him like that?

“You filthy, dirty demon! Go back where you belong!”

I’ll fix it. I think it’s okay to hang on a little longer. Where on earth are you planning to send my friend?

This was where Nihil was supposed to be. It would have been ridiculous to tell him to go anywhere else.

“What, what! Oh, don’t come! Go away!”

Clap clap clap-

“Bad mouth.”

“Ouch! Don’t do that!”

The vine slapped Sergio’s mouth. Nihil was grinning as if he was having a lot of fun. It seemed like he really enjoyed teasing the child.

My friend ended up putting on a puppet show with the eldest son of the count’s family. Sergio was tied up with vines and his limbs were manipulated like a marionette. He even spun around in the air.

“You dance well.”

“Ha, don’t do that!”

“Hahahaha, good job, good job, good job, ugh!”

The prime minister was clapping along and enjoying himself when he was hit on the back by his sister, the countess.

“Are you laughing now?”

“Sister, this is your nephew’s fault. Why did you say such mean things? Please apologize to Neil right away.”

“Uncle, come to your senses! You are now possessed by that evil thing!”

At those words, Rianus slapped Sergius’ leg, which was dangling in the air for no reason.

My friend was a bad kid, thinking he was evil just because he manipulated vines.

My friend, who may or may not have known my feelings, manipulated the vine and rubbed it against my cheek.

Evan waved his hand in caution, but the vines only gathered closer to him.

“Rian, I think you like it.”

“Huh…? Weren’t you the one controlling this?”

“No.”

“This is crazy!”

Sir Evan was terrified and tore at the vine. However, the vine did not go away, but instead wrapped itself around Sir Evan.

“You fucking lynx!”

“Why are you swearing?”

“Clear it before the vines are all cut down!”

“It’s not a vine, it’s ‘seaweed.’”

“What kind of name is that, ‘Miyeok-i’…, ugh, why aren’t you going away!”

Evan struck the approaching vine with all his might. A portion of the ‘seaweed’ that was thrown down fell to the ground and fell back, limp.

Nihil watched ‘Miyeok’ hiding behind Lianus and muttered with a look of pity.

“Why are you killing me?”

“It’s noisy, hurry up and clean it up! And change the name!”

“What’s wrong with ‘seaweed’?”

Nihil grumbled that he named her ‘Miyeok’ because she was cute.

Rianus felt a strange sense of kinship with ‘Miyeok’ and gently stroked it.

It was just like a pet, acting cute here and there. In this case, should we call it a pet plant?

‘Miyeok-i’ gently placed Sergio on the chair and quietly stepped away. Then, a very small vine seemed to approach behind Sir Evan, and it hit the back of his head and leisurely ran away.

“Ouch! That bastard!”

“Don’t be so upset. He’s just acting like that because he wants attention. He must be bored because he has to pretend to be a normal plant most of the time.”

“It annoys me because your actions are just like mine!”

“I guess it’s because my blood serves as nutrients.”

“what?!”

Pirani!

Lianus jumped up. And instead of backing down, he grabbed ‘Miyeok’ who was secretly acting cute at his feet.

I pretended not to notice because she was cute, but I felt betrayed.

“I believed you were good, how could you be like that! Spit it out!”

As I grabbed the ‘seaweed’ and shook it, Nihil laughed heartily.

“Rian, this is a demon plant. You can’t survive in the Middle-earth without blood.”

“Why are you raising this kind of thing!”

At those words, ‘Miyeok-i’ sank to her knees. She felt a little sorry, but she couldn’t forgive him for drinking the blood of her close friend.

“That’s because it’s a medicine. It’s incomparable to the mediocre herbs of the Middle-earth. And I picked it from the Demon Realm. It’s not his fault.”

“…Wait a minute, Neil. I can’t just let that go.”

Abel, who had been observing the ‘seaweed’ with interest, asked with a hardened face.

“Could it be possible to… cross dimensions?”

“ah…….”

At that question, Nihil tapped his teaspoon as if he was troubled.

“Really…?”

Abel asked seriously. Opening a passage between dimensions was the most taboo of all taboos.

300 years ago, didn’t someone open a passage to the Demon World in order to summon the Demon King, and the balance was disrupted, causing ‘cracks’ to appear?

If there had been no ‘Archangel’ who was friendly to humans, Middle-earth would have been engulfed in a human-horse war.

“No, no, Your Majesty. I only reached out my hand beyond the ‘crack’.”

“A crack?”

“Umm… this is difficult.”

When Nihil hesitated and couldn’t answer right away, Abel opened his mouth as if coaxing him.

“Neil, I’ll make it as convenient as possible for you, so explain it to me properly.”

“Well…, yeah. I need your cooperation too.”

Nihil, having finished his thoughts, shrugged his shoulders and replied in a light tone.

“A crack appeared a while ago.”

“Um…so?”

“It’s closed.”

I see. Abel nodded, then raised his head when no further explanation was given.

“…Is it the end?”

“Keep it a secret from the Grand Duke.”

“No, that… isn’t the explanation too short?”

“I cleaned up the mess neatly too.”

Yeah, right. I see. But why do I suddenly feel like I’m talking to Sadie?

Nihil, who was looking at Abel in agony, snickered and continued his explanation.

“It’s true. I needed a magic stone to use secretly on the magic tower, and since a crack had formed, I went to close the crack while getting the magic stone. If I leave it alone, it will just get bigger.”

“Well, yeah.”

“But there happened to be some ‘seaweed’ near the crack. So I secretly picked it out.”

“…….”

“It’s a secret. Got it?”

Nihil smiled brightly like a child as he spoke. ‘Miyeok-i’ seemed to like the idea of ​​her story, as she appeared again and swayed behind Nihil. It looked just like a monster’s tail.

Abel looked at the tail of the monster… no, ‘seaweed’ and thought for a while before opening his mouth.

“Even if there are cracks, raising a monster…, it’s still within the royal palace…….”

“It’s just an ordinary vine.”

At those words, ‘Miyeok-i’ fell down and pretended to be an ordinary vine. It was a change of position at an incredible speed.

Abel looked at the sight with a trembling face and then barely managed to find an excuse and asked.

“That… doesn’t ‘Miyeok’ want to go back to his hometown too?”

“You want me to go into the crack?”

“Uh…, um….”

“Okay, let’s say I go into the crack. Will you guard me while I dig up the ground and replant the ‘seaweed’ and say goodbye?”

“…Should we think of another way?”

Abel also quickly changed his stance. Who would a 3-circle man protect?

“What the hell are you talking about!”

Countess Talandrus, who had been frozen in place to guard against ‘seaweed’, finally lost patience and struck her younger brother on the back.

“Ah, sis, sis! Wait a minute! But I have a nephew too…!”

“Were you aware that you had a nephew? Did you know what kind of repercussions this would have? If you had hidden this from the beginning and found out, what would have happened? I am against it!”

Amanda, who had been glaring at Abel, turned her head and glared at Nihil.

“I have no intention of hiding this.”

“Can you heal that thing’s leg?”

“…what?”

Nihil gestured to Sergio, who was sitting there like a sack of barley, and snapped his fingers.

“Ugh, eww!”

Sergio, tied up by ‘Miyeok’ again, struggled.

“I’m not asking you to just keep it a secret. I’ll look after its legs instead.”

“…Can it be cured?”

“Well, but didn’t you bring me here to see it? I sense a bit of magic.”

“Haha…, it’s not necessarily like that…….”

Abel smiled awkwardly and avoided eye contact. The countess seemed to think she had found a way to cure her son, so she began to speak urgently.

“Yes, there was a crack in the Baekjak territory before. At that time, I got hurt in the leg because of the devil…!”

“The legs?”

“Yeah. It’s really bloody…!”

“Mom… I just fell and slightly scraped my knee.”

Sergio, who had been listening, touched his forehead at his mother’s fuss.

“No, dear. You were too young at the time to remember!”

“I was not a newborn, I was only ten years old. Above all, I had never been touched by a single hair of a demon.”

“But then how are you going to explain Magi!”

Nihil closed his eyes. The hat’s grumbling continued for a while longer.

“…So I keep drinking Seongsu…….”

“hmm…….”

Amanda asked anxiously as Nihil slowly opened his eyes, drooling.

“Why are you doing that?”

“…I’m going to die soon.”

“What is that…!”

“There’s about a month left. If I continue to use the holy water, I should be able to live for about half a year.”

“what?!”

Amanda stumbled, holding her forehead at the unexpected answer. Abel quickly supported her and asked.

“Treatment is…….”

“Your Majesty, it will be difficult for me to increase my workload like this.”

“Please don’t do that. Just look at it.”

As Abel spoke, he seemed to think for a moment, then untied the ribbon tied to his cane and tied it on the boy’s head.

His messy hair stuck up into the sky like a pineapple. The boy opened his mouth in disbelief as he looked at his uncle, but Abel paid no attention and opened his mouth.

“Neil, Sergio is quite smart. He will be useful if you have him.”

“I don’t think that’s something I should discuss with the Prime Minister.”

Nihil looked up at Sergio as he replied.

“Would you like to watch?”

“I don’t like it.”

Sergio refused outright. He could never serve the devil, even if he was a prince.

“Our seaweed is very cute. It has the highest level of employee satisfaction. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied too.”

“Are you telling me to serve that monster?”

“That’s not seaweed, it’s ‘seaweed.’ The seaweed I’m talking about now is this.”

Nihil stroked the small head next to him. Lianus tilted his head, not knowing what was going on, and then tilted his head to one side so that his friend could stroke it comfortably.

“I, I blasphemous, ugh……!”

Sergio flailed his arms and legs, then closed his mouth at the stabbing pain starting from his knees.

Nihil continued, pressing his leg hard.

“It’s fortunate that there seems to be a basic loyalty to the royal family.”

“You are so impious.”

“They say that friends are supposed to be open with each other.”

“that’s right!”

The seaweed nodded vigorously. Nihil stroked the seaweed even more vigorously. It seemed like it had become softer as it had been eating and sleeping well recently.

“Evil monster! How on earth did you bewitch the prince!”

“After fairies and angels, what comes next? Monsters. Why don’t you think of them as humans?”

Nihil tilted his head, muttering as if he was genuinely curious. He must have been in a state of ‘human’ assimilation.

“Well… I’ll treat you, so come back tomorrow.”

“Is it treatable?!”

bang-!

Amanda, who had recovered from the shock to some extent thanks to Nihil’s calm joke, stood up and hit the table. The strong vibration caused the tea to splash and spill.

“How, how do I fix it? Are you sure it can be fixed?”

“…….”

“I, I’ll give you anything. Oh, but not the family. Not only is it not completely mine, but it will take a long time to decide. Please tell me something else.”

Nihil sipped his tea and consoled Amanda, who seemed impatient as she mourned the cookies that were getting stale in real time.

“Sit down. Why are you acting so rude when you’re in such a hurry?”

“…Why do you speak like that?”

“…….”
