Chapter 98

Episode 98 My world would be boring.

The two evil Soma eyes in the eye sockets were smiling brightly.

Would you have ever imagined that in exchange for lifting your ban, you would have to take off your mask?

He was angry but happy at the same time. I may be the first person who made him have two conflicting emotions coexist.

In my entire life, I’ve never seen anyone treat me so carelessly. Even my father didn’t treat the Mazons so carelessly.

I know. How much Extreme Soma loves to enjoy moments like this. Your blood will be flowing quickly and your heart will be beating like crazy. I think this too is some kind of illness.

“What if I promise to take off my mask and then later don’t keep my promise?”

“We have to rush in and forcefully take it off.”

“Now, let’s practice.”

In an instant, Extreme Evil Soma’s eyes sank. Ready to fight, he was a completely different person than he was a moment ago.

I waved my hand and pushed my chair back.

“If I do that, the skin on my face might come off.”

Extreme Soma answered his prayers and asked leisurely.

“Now, if you can’t force it off, what are you going to do now?”

I stared at him for a moment and then answered calmly.

“I won’t do anything.”

For a moment, Extreme Soma was shocked. I just said the correct answer that even the person involved, Extreme Soma, doesn’t know.

Do nothing.

This is the right answer for this tree frog-like extreme soma. He asked me with an expression of incomprehension.

“Does this mean you will trust me?”

“Honestly, I don’t believe it. “Extreme Soma is not a name that gives anyone confidence, is it?”

I laughed as if it was a joke, but he didn’t laugh.

“Now, please stand up. Soma, you should go and eat too.”

I didn’t explain why to him. Sometimes not saying anything works best. This is especially true when there is no particular reason, like this time.

Sometimes the other person exaggerates this insignificant thing and makes it into something plausible.

I stood up first, followed by Extreme Soma.

After leaving the pub, we went back the way we came.

He walked side by side with me for a while and then stopped.

“Please wait a moment.”

He went to the vendor selling masks. Then he bought a white mask there and gave it to me.

“This is a gift to commemorate today.”

I said to him as I accepted the mask.

“I suggested that you take off your mask, but instead you put a mask on my face.”

I obediently put on my mask.

“It’s frustrating. I guarantee that if you take off your mask and fight, Soma will fight twice as well. “How long does it take for this to become comfortable?”

“It doesn’t take as long as you think.”

“If so, the converse would also be true. “The time it takes to feel at ease without the mask.”

Visible through the eye holes of the mask, Extreme Soma was staring at me in silence.

You were looking at me like this.

He can now look at me only with my eyes in his eye sockets. Maybe that would be more disadvantageous for me. Because Extreme Soma has lived among numerous masked minions for a very long time.

I pulled the mask up onto my head like a hat.

“Write it like this. How comfortable and good is it? Put it on when you want to put it on, take it off when you want to take it off. “Just like this.”

With that, I tapped the mask above my head, looking at the sky, with my palm.

“This guy will feel good too. “If you look at the sky like this.”

Then, Extreme Soma looked up at the sky.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to do this? Then we will both see the sky.”

When Extreme Soma, who had been looking at the sky with empty eyes for a long time, turned his gaze to me, he had already made a decision.

“great. I will accept the conditions presented by Lee Gong-ja. “If you lift my restraints, I will take off my mask when we are alone.”

I don’t believe he will keep his promise.

This is the face I saw only once before my return and before I died. He won’t take off his mask easily.

But just making that promise is meaningful. Will I ever see his younger face?

Admiration flashed in Extreme Soma’s eyes.

“I had no idea we could do it this quickly.”

“Now you know why you should support me and not your brother, right?”

“I’ll have to think about it seriously. But did the religious leader just allow it?”

“Is that possible? “My father put a condition on it.”

“What are the conditions?”

I let out a somewhat exaggerated sigh and then spoke to him.

“If Soma causes trouble, I will take full responsibility for it.”

“Ohh! “You risked your position as successor for me.”

“That’s the way it is.”

Extreme Soma did not hide his expression of surprise.

“Is this worth it?”

“Seeing Soma’s face? “I think it’s well worth it.”

“The Duke of Lee risked too much just to be flattered like this.”

“Then, since you’ve already been caught, I’ll do one more thing. Becoming friends with a very evil soma is something no one will ever experience in their lives. “It’s a condition worth walking on.”

The evil soma stared at me as if it were staring me in the face. You might want to find out what my intentions are, but you won’t be able to know me just by looking at my eyes and facial expressions. In the past, now and in the future.

“In other words, I can have as many accidents as I want. “The scientist will be responsible.”

“It’s really crazy.”

“Couldn’t you have hidden it? You don’t want me to tell you that you promised to take responsibility, right? “It would be a weakness for a scientist.”

“I have to say it. “Aren’t most of the problems we face caused by not speaking up when we should?”

Extreme Soma smiled strangely. It is a different type of laughter than the habitual laughter.

“I have no intention of ignoring Soma. “I don’t think that something will happen if I hide it.”

“Whenever I heard rumors about Lee Gongja, I thought they were exaggerated. But now I see it has shrunk a lot.”

“Maybe it’s because he’s Soma-sama.”

“What do you mean?”

“Even if you report the same thing, the content will sound different depending on how you feel. However, in front of Lord Soma, even his subordinates will have no choice but to become rigid. Only dry reports that exclude personal opinions or emotions as much as possible will be included. “I wouldn’t have been able to properly convey who I am.”

“That makes perfect sense.”

The laughter sounded different again. Soma smiles like that when he has a lot on his mind.

“Instead, please promise me one thing.”

“What is it?”

“If you need to leave school, you must come with me. “If you break this promise, you will be banned again and you will probably have to start over from the beginning.”

“Let’s leave school tomorrow without any promises of a later date.”

The person who makes this kind of impromptu decision is a very evil person. So dealing with him is difficult.

I also answered without hesitation.

“I’m looking forward to my trip with Soma.”

I deliberately described my departure from church with him as a trip.

“We are not going on a trip.”

“If you go with friends, isn’t it a trip no matter where you go?”

I have to do my best to prevent him from getting into trouble during this journey, so I don’t want to approach him this anxiously.

I’m really going out with the mindset that I’m going out to have some fun with Extreme Soma. If a friend fights, you stop him, and if he falls into danger, you save him. With just this much heart.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

“I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Mr. Lee.”

As I was about to open the door and come out, Extreme Soma asked me from behind.

“Is there somewhere you want to go?”

I turned to him and said.

“a lot. But during this mission, I want to see Soma’s world. “Please show me around.”

“My world would be boring. “Maybe even more than Magachon.”

“You may feel that way because it is your world, but if someone else sees it, it will be different.”

He laughed and I laughed along with him.

When you meet Soma, you often laugh. Whether the smile is forced, whether there is a dagger in the smile, or whether it is sincere. Anyway, I end up laughing. They say that if you laugh often, you will live longer. There are also good points like this.

As I opened the door again and was about to leave, I added another word.

“Truly, Maga Village is not such a trivial place. People make a living by selling masks to evil demons, right?”
