Episode 225 Shin

Ha-yoon’s psychokinesis forced Sumire to lose consciousness in an instant. But is it good or bad?

“Are you okay?”

What unfolded to Sumire, who slowly stood up at the question of the worried Incubus, was not reality.

“This place is...”

This place, made up of cute tableware and antique furniture, seems to be Laplace’s taste, and is Sumire’s inner world.

Laplace’s Castle.

“Because the contractor, Sumire-sama, has lost her mind... Laplace-sama decided that this situation was life threatening, and eventually decided to take the initiative herself.”

Forced advent in the form of possession that is used only in really urgent and urgent situations.

But Sumire knew how much Laplace hated this form of possession.

“Oh, I see. Laplace-nim...”

To think that he harmed Laplace like this again with his own affairs.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...”

Sumire’s shoulder, which eventually died down, went down. Incubus smiled and spoke politely to Sumire.

“...Sumire-sama? There is something that Laplace-sama asked me before going out.”

Swoop- Pod!

Having said that, the incubus raised his hand and poured purple mana into it, and the screen turned on.

“This?”

“If Sumire-sama, by any chance, came to her senses, sighing with a face that had lost the world. He told me to show him this video.”

“Are you Laplace?”

Surprised, Sumire turned her head to the screen.

♪~ ♪~ ♬~

Calm piano sound through the speaker.

Jijik – Jik!

The screen with a black background, which was just black, soon showed Laplace’s face.

– Hi Sumire?

is it sad

Are you happy?

Are you happy?

Or was it that she was mad at the reckless Sumire? The expression on Laplace’s face was completely incomprehensible.

– It would have been nice if I served you the black tea I brewed myself. By the time you read this letter... I will no longer be in this castle.

From the speaker, Laplace’s solemn voice came out one by one along with the calm and beautiful piano melody.

“Laplace-sama...”

Surprised Sumire opened her mouth while watching such a video letter from Laplace. Laplace in the recorded video giggled and laughed, as if he had even predicted Sumire’s appearance.

– Whooping, you must have seen my video letter and had your mouth wide open like an idiot.

Only then did Sumire take a deep breath and close her mouth. However, Laplace in the video smiled softly with a calmer face, probably not intending to make fun of Sumire.

– Do you know? To me, who is just a piece of cake... It is a great fortune to have met you.

Laplace blew into his palm. Then, the petals of beautiful purple violets flew to the extent that they covered the screen.

♩~ ♪~ ♬

Maybe that’s why. The piano playing from the speakers also changed to a slightly sad melody.

The petals that covered the screen fell off and what remained was just a pitch-black space.

– A space of nothingness. This is the world I was originally in. How long she had spent alone here...

Sumire recalled her expanding inner world and the beautifully decorated Laplace’s castle.

Perhaps the life decorated here was the true dream of Laplace’s fragment, who was sleeping in pitch darkness.

“Laplace-nim... in such a lonely place...”

A pitch-black space with nothing.

How much time did Laplace really spend in that solitary space?

Looking at Laplace, who was left alone in the pitch-black space with nothing, Sumire bit her lip.

– Hmm~ I think I understand. Are you making a sad face?

Of course, Laplace, who had a high assimilation rate, predicted all of Sumire’s moods.

– If you are sympathizing with me watching this video, you don’t have to be so sad. Because time is abstract to me.

It is difficult for her to explain this abstract sense. Laplace rested his chin in thought.

Or is it just a fragment of the memory? Or what was born between Sumire and the piece of fragment?

Although the truth is unknown now, Laplace knew one thing for sure.

“...Aye. You are more important to me than anything else.”

That means that Sumire is more important to Laplace than anything else.

“So... no one can hurt you...

Laplace said, narrowing his eyes in a completely different mood.

“I will not forgive.”

* * *

Shin Ha-yoon’s characteristic telekinesis takes less time to realize power if only the coordinate calculation and mana projection are fast. He possessed intangible physical power.

So, in order to escape from the physical force of telekinesis, the inverse calculation of mana is needed, not simple power.

Thanks to this, Shin Ha-yoon has never let go of an opponent he has caught.

but.

Saaa- Sumire, whose

eyes and atmosphere have changed somewhere, puts her hand on it. Purple flames shimmering like haze.

Clink!

like breaking a window.

He shaped the intangible power into green fragments and destroyed them. It was hard to believe that Sumire, who had been helpless until now.

“...you.”

Surprised, Shin Ha-yoon hesitated and stepped back, but Sumire touched his neck with a calm face and looked at Shin Ha-yoon with cold eyes.

“...is this your first time seeing it? The nature of mana was newly added to form and break it. It’s the old-fashioned way.”

By infusing mana into telekinesis, an intangible force, it gives it a new property and makes it brittle. This is easy to say, but in practice it required a very high level of mana control.

It was absolutely impossible with Sumire’s skills, which still had little combat experience.

However, Shin Ha-yoon’s surprise wasn’t simply because Sumire destroyed her telekinesis.

“You...”

Sumire’s mood changed in an instant.

A mana property in the form of a purple flame that Sumire just used. And more than anything...

‘Eyes...’

Shin Ha-yoon had seen Sumire’s eyes looking at her now.

‘Yes, just like...’

However, Laplace, possessed by Sumire’s body, did not give time to Shin Ha-yoon, who was groping for memories.

“You need not be so surprised. The really surprising part is...starting now.”

Laplace raised his hand like a conductor holding a baton and gently gripped the air.

Pot-pa-pa-pa-

Purple diamonds appearing in the air as if Shin Ha-yoon wasn’t the only one dealing with mana from a distance.

This was a unique mana property called Dark Matter, a symbol of Plague Witch Laplace.

But in the process, what touched Shin Ha-yoon’s wrath? Shin Ha-yoon looked at Laplace’s Dark Matter and muttered with bewildered eyes.

“You really... really...”

But.

“...It’s like a crazy person. Did you even go crazy?”

With a cold gaze, Laplace fired the Dark Matter that filled the surroundings all at once.

Wedge love!

Avoiding the Dark Matter flying at great speed, he stepped back and quickly released mana.

“You are so funny!”

Shin Ha-yoon calculated the spaces Dark Matter was aiming for in the form of dots in his head and manifested mana.

Drizzle –

Dark Matter that is sucked into intangible power along with a dot in the air. Shin Ha-yoon calculated the power of telekinesis in an instant and compressed the Dark Matter.

“...that’s pretty good. I don’t know how long that joke will last.”

However, this is a fight in which Shin Ha-yoon loses even if he fails in just one calculation. Laplace’s attacking side was so advantageous.

Whoa!

A purple flame flickering coldly.

With this attack, Laplace created countless Dark Matters to end Shin Ha-yoon.

Maybe Shin Ha-yoon is experiencing a crisis for the first time. However, even in such a situation, Shin Ha-yoon laughed happily and muttered incomprehensible words.

“...a fake with only memories. Is it a fake with only fragments remaining? It’s fun.”
