“We seem to have almost arrived.”

Quite a bit of time passed after we got on the carriage before we were able to arrive at the Bares family mansion.

The exterior of the mansion that I saw before.

Even so, it was hard to shake off the feeling of grandeur.

Certainly, although their influence has waned now, the Bares family is one of the seven families that represent the Demon Realm.

Among them, the Bares family is by far the best.

There seemed to be a difference in perspective when I knew something about the Bares family and when I didn't.

…Therefore, they are arrogant.

I don’t know what consequences that arrogance will bring.

No.

Maybe I know.

Maybe I just don't remember exactly.

‘…I feel like I remember.’

The end of the Bares family.

I must have written about that.

Since I already wrote about the Demon Realm being destroyed, I would have described how the Bares family perished for whatever reason.

What was the reason…

Hmm.

No matter how much I thought about it, the answer didn't come to me.

I have a strong intuition that it's related to Crete's actions, but there's not much for sure.

“Sigh….”

As I was thinking about the future of the Bares family, Kyle, who was next to me, sighed deeply.

At this, I turned my gaze to look at Kyle.

Kyle, who had a sharp impression, had changed into a gloomy impression at some point.

What exactly happened while I was gone?

But since I didn't really want to worry about other guys, I decided to check my current status.

‘Status Window.’

: Race - [ Half Demon ]

: Tendency - [ Chaos ]

: Talent - [ Position Exchange 'IV' ]

: Trait - [ Interest ] [ Absorption ] [ Killing Intent Ⅴ ] [ Pitch Black ] [ Mana Manipulation Ⅱ ] [ Eye of Arrogance ] [ Telekinesis III ] [ Sword Lacquer III ]

: Mana - [ 5021 ]

I opened my mouth at the status window that appeared before my eyes.

I haven't been checking my status window often lately because I haven't had time.

But I couldn't help but be surprised by the steep growth that had taken place.

First of all, the total amount of mana finally exceeded ‘5,000’.

This wasn’t enough for me to reach the level I was aiming for, but at least there would be no one in Sytan who could follow me.

‘Of course, it's limited to students.’

Maybe I could have the upper hand against the combat instructors, but I still can't even dream of defeating the Headmaster.

The Headmaster is at a level that no one but someone of Crete's caliber can deal with.

‘Besides, a lot of things seem to have gone up…’

The proficiency of Telekinesis, Killing Intent, and Sword Lacquer has increased by one level each.

I wasn't expecting anything other than the total amount of mana, but this is the result of this growth.

I was so moved that tears welled up in my eyes.

I remember being depressed when Sword Lacquer wasn't registered in the status window.

But now that I see it as a proper characteristic, I feel indescribable.

…And yet, the feeling that comes from not being able to fit in among the strongest in the worldview, despite all my hard work, seems to be a bonus.

‘Nothing to regret.’

Now, the next level I had to look at was to exceed ‘10,000’ in total mana.

Having more than 10,000 mana means being able to compete with beings like Crete or the Headmaster with ‘mana’ alone.

The Headmaster and Crete.

The name of the level that the two of them reached is this.

‘The Demigod Realm.’

The beings closest to divinity were Crete and the Headmaster.

It's easy to think that the Sword Saint and the heads of the six families that appear in the original are about the same.

And there was only one reason why I had to reach that level.

Strength.

While this is also a reason, it cannot be called the fundamental one.

The real reason I had to enter the Demigod Realm was because it was the only way to counter Diana's power.

For example, the only ability that can rival Diana's.

Even this doesn't work if Diana's powers are fully bloomed.

That's why I have to reach the Demigod Realm in a short period of time, but…

‘…That's easier said than done.’

Who wouldn't want to reach the Demigod Realm?

It's just that they can't because they're not skilled enough.

To reach the Demigod Realm, not only did the total amount of mana have to exceed 10,000, but enlightenment was also required.

And I don't know what that enlightenment is.

I did describe what kind of enlightenment the main characters get and how they reach the Demigod Realm,

But it's definitely different from the enlightenment I need to break through the wall of the Demigod.

Tsk.

I clicked my tongue at the headache.

Reaching the Demigod Realm was still too far away for me.

How can I, who hasn't even properly learned Fighting Spirit, reach the Demigod Realm?

It would be impossible unless I used some kind of ‘trick’ like when I learned the Murderous Intent.

As I was thinking about the Demigod Realm.

“Get off now!”

A roar echoed in my ears.

As I was lost in thought even though I had arrived at the Bares mansion, another servant called out to me.

Oh dear.

The good old days are gone.

At this, I let out a sigh and got up from my seat.

And I woke up Kyle, who was sleeping with his eyes tightly closed in the seat next to me.

“You should get off too, Kyle. They say we’ve arrived.”

“…Have we reached the gates of hell?”

“Perhaps because you lived in the human world, you make jokes that humans use. As unfortunate as it may sound, there is no such thing as hell in the Demon Realm.”

“Fuck….”

Sob, sob.

Kyle got up from his seat with tears in his eyes.

Thud-.

After getting off the carriage like that, I started walking after Kyle.

And I asked Kyle what I was going to ask.

“By the way, how did all these people get to the Gluttony Domain?”

“Because of you.”

I frowned at Kyle's words.

As if anyone doesn't know that.

It wasn't that I didn't know that Crete had personally visited the Gluttony Domain to bring me back.

What I'm really curious about is,

“I mean, why did you visit the Gluttony Domain to pick me up?”

“…Well.”

Kyle hesitated as if to speak to me.

Scratch, scratch-.

Then he started answering while scratching the back of his head roughly.

“Never tell anyone else that I told you this.”

“Alright.”

I nodded seriously at Kyle's words.

I'll be sure to tell them later.

As I was smiling wickedly to myself, Kyle opened his mouth.

“Didn’t the young lady you serve cry? The Lord seems to have worked hard because of that.”

“…I’d like to ask for a detailed story about that.”

Rene cried?

I couldn't understand what the situation was.

Judging by Crete's reaction in the carriage earlier, it seemed true that Rene had cried.

I don't know if Crete came to scold me for that, but anyway, he must have come because of that.

First of all, I decided to hear more from Kyle because nothing was certain.

“I don't know much. Your master isn't the type to talk much, is she? So, I just guessed that she cried because of you.”

“How is that my fault?”

I opened my mouth at Kyle's strange way of thinking.

How could his thought process go that way?

“Then is there any other reason why the young lady would cry? No matter how much I think about it, there doesn’t seem to be any other reason. Well, I'm just telling you what the other servants are speculating.”

“…In other words, it’s an unverified rumor.”

“Ha, then the Lord wouldn’t have tried to bring you back. If a rumor has spread, it means there is some truth hidden in it.”

“Hmm…”

Since he’s saying things that an informant would say, it makes it believable.

Although Kyle is in this state right now, he’s still a spy who was properly raised in the human world and dispatched.

So I couldn't just ignore Kyle's words.

“Well, I understand for now.”

“Is that all you’re going to say?”

Kyle tilted his head and asked, thinking that my reaction was more bland than he thought.

To such a reaction, I chuckled and opened my mouth.

“Heh, of course not.”

“Then are you going to show me something?”

“You can look forward to it.”

“…What kind of reaction are you going to show me?”

Kyle made a puzzled expression at my sudden seriousness.

At this, I laughed and quickened my pace.

* * *

The place I headed to as soon as I arrived at the Bares mansion.

It was a place I had visited countless times.

Of course, I've never been inside, and I've only waited outside.

Anyway,

The moment I arrived at my destination.

“My lady, I’m sorry…!”

I knelt in front of Rene's door and waited for her to come out.

Next to me, Kyle was kneeling with a dissatisfied look on his face.

“Why me too…”

Kyle couldn’t understand this situation where he was begging Rene’s forgiveness with me.

At this, I clicked my tongue and opened my mouth.

“Although our bodies are different, our hearts are the same, aren’t they? If there’s a problem, we should work together.”

“But why is it that only I seem to be with you through your difficult times?”

“…Please be quiet. You never know when the lady might come out.”

I bickered with Kyle and waited for Rene to come out.

However, even after waiting for several minutes on my knees, Rene didn't seem to come out of the door.

Ugh.

My legs are getting numb…

Should I check if Rene is inside, just in case?

Since there’s no answer, it seems like she’s really not inside…

“Why don’t we just go back? Otherwise, the butler will nag at me again……”

Kyle had already become Bares’ loyal servant.

I opened my mouth to answer.

“Let’s wait a little longer. The lady might be inside. Please wait a moment.”

In the end, I decided to check if Rene was in the room, even if it meant being rude.

I activated my senses and scanned the inside of the room.

But,

“…?”

I blinked in bewilderment.

I thought Rene would definitely be inside the room.

No,

Actually, it was true that she was in the room.

The problem is…

“…What are you doing there?”

I asked Rene, who seemed to be eavesdropping on my conversation with Kyle with her ear to the door.

“….”

However, there was still no answer from Rene.
