    ◈ Episode 150 Reunion from the past (2)

    “Didn’t I warn you? “Stay still.”

    Ludger’s chilling voice enveloped Krolo’s whole body.

    “Or maybe my warning didn’t sound right?”

    “Oh no!”

    Krolo felt afraid that he might die at this moment.

    I managed to move my lips that wouldn’t fall and desperately made an excuse.

    “At first I tried to stay still. But that monster! Because that devil keeps watching me!”

    “You were watching?”

    “They kept watching me watching me and threatening my life! “I wanted to stay still too!”

    “….”

    “When that stops look! “I finally caught that devil!”

    Krolo shouted to Ludger with a face that didn’t know whether he was crying or laughing.

    At the place he pointed with his finger a female student who had fainted from being strangled by Crowlo a moment ago was lying down.

    Ludger’s eyes widened when he saw her.

    ‘Joanna Lovett?’

    It’s not a mistake.

    The person who fainted after being strangled by Krolo was Joanna Lovett of the Black Dawn.

    Since Krolo boasted that he had caught the devil I thought he went crazy and did what he did because he was hallucinating.

    ‘This easy?’

    Or rather how did she fall victim to Crolophebius? Based on my skills there’s absolutely no way that would happen.

    ‘But the Joanna Lovett over there right now is not a fake.’

    Ludger covered his mouth with his hand and rolled his head.

    Krolo asked carefully looking at Ludger’s eyes.

    “How do you feel?”

    “Now that we have the details let’s go…”

    It was the moment when he was about to say that he should take Joanna who had fainted and move to another place.

    “Mr Ludger!”

    Selina was hurriedly running towards the entrance of the alley with the sound of Ludger calling.

    Oops.

    Ludger realized where he was now.

    In a dark alley a half-disappeared Crolo Pebius and a fainted student of Ceorn. And the image of myself standing there together.

    Anyone could see that it was a crime scene.

    “uh?”

    Selina who was running must have seen the scene as well stopping in her tracks and widening her eyes.

    Her reaction covering her mouth with both hands seems to have been engraved with the word astonishment.

    ‘I got caught.’

    Now that things were like this Ludger had to immediately apply magic to Krolo and draw a line saying that he had nothing to do with this situation.

    This was the only way to put out an urgent fire right away.

    But what happened after that was the problem.

    ‘Looking at Krolo’s current condition it wouldn’t be surprising if he was arrested as a red-handed criminal. ‘It’s a festival right now so we won’t do anything right now but we’ll detain him somewhere until the festival ends.’

    The problem is that if that happens people’s attention will gather.

    If that happens the goal of handling this matter quietly will be in vain.

    Even so it was important to get through the current urgent situation safely.

    “Miss Selina. This is so…”

    “Ah ah.”

    Selina suddenly stumbled and fainted.

    Ludger hurriedly ran out and helped her body before she fell to the ground.

    ‘Did he faint because he saw such a shocking sight?’

    It was crazy to think that a soft-hearted Selina could do that.

    Maybe it was better.

    If I told Crolo Phoebe to leave right now I could somehow make it up to nothing.

    “Ah ahhh…!”

    However there was something strange about Krolo’s reaction.

    The man who had been jumping around with joy at having caught the devil with his own hands a moment ago was trembling as he pointed his finger at Ludger.

    Even what came out of his mouth was a scream that couldn’t even be described as human language.

    ‘Why is he doing that again?’

    Ludger was also starting to feel annoyed by Krolo’s actions.

    Ludger who was about to say something noticed something strange in Krolo’s attitude.

    Krolo wasn’t pointing a finger at himself right now.

    To be precise he was referring to Selina whom he was holding in his arms.

    Why?

    The moment Ludger was about to ask that he felt a chilling sensation running through his whole body.

    His eyes naturally turned to Selina who was in his arms.

    ‘The momentum has changed?’

    It was clear that Selina had fainted just a moment ago but she suddenly came to her senses?

    Before she could figure out what was going on Selina’s right hand moved and grabbed Ludger’s collar.

    “iced coffee. “Really.”

    The pink lips opened and a foreign voice other than Selina’s came out.

    The cheerful and soft voice became sharp like the thorns of a rose filled with venom.

    Ludger had heard this voice before.

    To be exact it was when he met Esmeralda in the midnight forest.

    “I tried to stay quiet at least until the end of the festival but why are you doing this?”

    When Selina opened her eyes they were stained red different from their original light purple color.

    As if it was studded with bright red jewels.

    ‘Eye color changed?’

    The changes didn’t end there.

    Selina’s trademark pink hair gradually faded from the tips and turned black.

    The hair color changed due to the influence of magical power.

    “This is why I feel like a fool waiting quietly for the appointed time.”

    And Selina who got up in Ludger’s arms stared at Krolo with an alluring smile.

    Krolo trembled like a person facing a reaper from hell.

    “You all….”

    “long time no see. Crolophebius. How have you been?”

    “That’s right. I did. It was you! It was you! Esmeralda!”

    “Are you remembering me? I’m glad. “Then you understand what I plan to do to you right?”

    “Hey! Save me! “I don’t want to die!”

    Krolo was in pain squeezing his head hard with his hands.

    His spirit which had been barely holding on until now collapsed the moment he faced the person who was trying to kill him.

    Esmeralda who was watching the scene stretched out her finger toward him.

    Krolo gasps! With a shout he closed his eyes and fainted.

    “I’m not killing you yet. “Not yet.”

    Ludger still didn’t understand what was going on.

    Miss Selina is Esmeralda? She was of the First Order?

    But so far I have never felt anything suspicious from Selina. It wasn’t something that could be hidden simply by being good at acting.

    Ludger came up with one correct answer at this moment.

    “Was it a dual personality?”

    “oh.”

    Esmeralda smiled as if she had just discovered Ludger staring in this direction.

    “Now that I think about it you were there too? Nice to meet you John Doe. This is the first time we’re meeting in person right? That’s because you have been hiding your identity with Zero Order’s permission and I have always been hidden from the beginning. Even during the First Order meeting.”

    talks. His identity was hidden.

    With that fragment of information etched into his mind Ludger opened his mouth.

    “I was surprised. “I never thought they would have created a different personality by replacing the existing personality.”

    The very structure of magical power changes the color of hair and eyes changes and the personality itself changes.

    Rather than simply a mental illness caused by dissociative disorder it is closer to the feeling of two truly different beings coexisting in one body.

    “That’s amazing. “Did you realize that right away?”

    Esmeralda spoke as if she was genuinely surprised but her eyes were smiling.

    Ludger was lost in thought managing his expression.

    ‘There’s nothing strange. Right now Quasimodo under Esmeralda’s command is a mixture of human resentment and the spirits of nature.’

    In the end the personality of Selina was created by Esmeralda a long time ago to hide her identity.

    In other words Esmeralda lived as a fake named Selina and whenever she took revenge she changed into Esmeralda and killed people from the Phoeus family.

    ‘The name Selina clearly has a past. She must have been working under the name Selina for a long time.’

    But if I lived this double life for a long time I would have no choice but to get caught in the end.

    Despite this Selina did not raise anyone’s suspicions until she entered Seorn.

    ‘It’s because someone looked after it.’

    And of course there was only one person who looked after it.

    It was the Black Dawn.

    I guess the reason Esmeralda joined the First Order was in return for helping her get revenge.

    ‘Now the whole story is coming together.’

    In that case Joanna Lovett fainting over there must have been the third and final unknown survivor of the Great Roteng Fire.

    He belongs to the Black Dawn Society and is ranked Second Order. He must be a direct member of Esmeralda.

    The reason she became hostile toward Krolo was because she experienced the events of that day.

    ‘It’s a mistake.’

    I can’t believe I didn’t notice the First Order so close to me until now.

    Even though I knew that I wouldn’t be able to notice anything unless I knew about the future it was difficult to get out of the aftermath of the shock.

    However unlike his mental surprise Ludger’s mouth naturally spoke.

    “So what do we do now? Esmeralda. Are you going to kill that man?”

    The fact that he revealed his identity here means that he intends to take revenge on her right away.

    “Oh that one?”

    Esmeralda shook her head.

    “I won’t kill you.”

    “Have you given up on revenge?”

    “I told you. “Not right now.”

    A man who deceived and deceived his once innocent self.

    She still hated him who was now broken and ruined and no longer had his former glory.

    “I didn’t expect me to wake up like this right now. “I didn’t know that Selina would lose her mind in a situation like this.”

    “What? “Do we not share memories with each other?”

    “That’s right right? “If they were sharing memories Selina I wonder if this poor child would have been able to properly hide her identity.”

    While nodding that it made sense Ludger realized what the relationship between Esmeralda and Selina was like.

    Esmeralda and Selina have the same body but are separate beings.

    They have dual personalities but they don’t share each other’s memories.

    ‘That’s why. ‘Using different spirits.’

    Selina handles intermediate spirits of wind earth and water.

    But what Esmeralda deals with is Quasimodo the twisted fire spirit.

    The fact that they were able to make a contract with completely different spirits was possible because the two people were not the same being.

    “This kid doesn’t know anything. That’s why it’s pure and that’s why it’s lovely. okay. “It’s like me in the past when I didn’t know anything.”

    As Esmeralda muttered that she glared at the stunned Krolo with a sparkling gaze as if she was remembering her days in Loteng Village.

    A strong murderous spirit surged from her as if she wanted to kill Krolo right now.

    But reason desperately suppressed it.

    Ludger who was watching the scene carefully clenched and unclenched his fist.

    ‘now. Is it possible?’

    Ludger’s eyes moved busily.

    Esmeralda was completely caught off guard now. Because my mind was completely focused on Krolo I barely paid any attention to this.

    A very quick surprise attack here can kill her.

    Can you kill me?

    At first glance Esmeralda’s appearance overlapped with Selina’s appearance.

    If you kill Esmeralda here Selina will also die. Because they both use the same body.

    Esmeralda is a member of the First Order of the Black Dawn. It is clearly his enemy.

    But what about Selina? Is she really Ludger’s enemy?

    ‘Decision…’

    A judgment had to be made. If it’s not now chances like this will never come again.

    However while the head kept shouting to kill the hands did not move.

    Ludger closed his eyes and relaxed his shoulders.

    Even if they try to kill me here I’m not sure they’ll be able to kill me.

    From the moment Esmeralda opened her eyes that being was aware of Ludger.

    ‘You’ve been watching me for a while.’

    A gaze that never leaves this side.

    Considering that Esmeralda is glaring at Krolo Phoebius there is only one person watching Ludger.

    Quasimodo.

    Twisted fiery resentment.

    ‘He’s wary of me.’

    He never forgot what happened to Ludger at the banquet hall that day.

    For now since he was Esmeralda’s colleague he would remain quiet but the enemy’s young gaze containing subtle heat was clearly warning him not to do anything foolish.

    If you try to fight while ignoring this the surrounding area will become a sea of ​​fire.

    There were a lot of people gathered nearby for a festival and it was clear that the impact would extend there.

    A lot of people will die.

    ‘I can’t help it.’

    The good news is that Esmeralda will not kill Krolo right away.

    And what happened in the alley will be kept secret.

    However there are only four days left in the grace period.

    Until then we too had to make a choice.

    “I’ll just go now.”

    Just then Esmeralda opened her mouth.

    “You’re going? how?”

    “Take care of Selina. “If you look at his reaction it doesn’t seem like he particularly hates you.”

    Esmeralda who only did what she said soon stumbled and tried to fall sideways.

    Ludger naturally supported Esmeralda to prevent her from falling.

    The hair that was black had returned to pink again.

    ‘I returned to the original energy of Teacher Selina. It’s something I can’t believe even after seeing it. Is moving it a priority first?’

    But maybe Crolo Febius and Joanna Lovett who fell to the floor are good?

    It takes time to transfer everything using magic and if someone witnesses this scene in the meantime we will also be in trouble.

    I need a hand to help.

    In this case there was one person who was suitable.

    Ludger immediately took out a portable communication device.

    “grow. “I’ll call you the location so come right away.”

    It’s been about 3 minutes since I said that.

    A person appeared in the alley.

    “Did you call Boo!”

    Sedina Rochen who appeared to have rushed in was holding a freshly grilled sausage in one hand and a candy in the other.

    He was even wearing a headband on his head.

    “…I see you are enjoying the festival well.”

    When I asked him not to go to the teacher’s office to enjoy the festival he said he wouldn’t go.

    Now that the festival has started they seem to be enjoying themselves.

    Seeing things like that really suits my status as a student.

    “oh!”

    She hurriedly threw the things in her hands on the floor and even took off her headband.

    Sedina spoke in a hushed voice as if she were embarrassed.

    “I’m sorry.”

    “There is nothing to be sorry about. “I was the one who told you to enjoy the festival.”

    “More than that why did you call me…?”

    Ludger silently pointed his finger at Crolophebius and Joanna Lovett.

    “Get these two people away.”

    This is why being a teaching assistant was so comfortable.
