Chapter 128: Curse Plague (End)

Chapter 128: Curse Plague (End)

While Yurakne checked on Ellas condition, the rest of the members waited in front of the carriage.

Although they were all exhausted, there was a clear expression of joy on their faces.

Even Womon, who had been lying on the iron bars, got up and shouted with excitement.

Their excitement wasnt solely because Ella had awakened.

I knew the reason why, so I stood where their eyes couldnt reach.

Their gaze towards me felt burdensome.

It was fine if they knew that I had saved them.

I felt proud seeing the sudden rise in favourability from all members.

However, the emotions in their eyes as they looked at me descending from the carriage went beyond gratitude.

Awe, anticipation, and hope.

From their cautious approach, I could tell they had heard the story from Valentina about me curing the Curse Plague

Is it true?

About the Director?

The Curse Plague?

I couldnt bring myself to give any answer in front of their trembling gazes.

I could guess what they wanted to ask.

If thats the case

Could you perhaps treat our bodies too?

I reflexively tried to shake my head but managed to stop myself just in time.

[Intrinsic characteristics cannot be changed.]

They were firmly intertwined with the devolution at the genetic level.

Even with the power of Biomancer, their bodies couldnt be changed.

Director?

I couldnt deny it, but I couldnt bring myself to say it.

It was difficult to trample on the hope they barely held.

At that moment, it was fortunate that Yurakne intervened.

Lets talk about this later! First, lets make sure our assistant-director is safe.

When she mentioned Ella, they understood and stepped back.

Everyone wait here. Ill check on her first.

Yuraknes attitude was strangely calm.

She too was a victim of the curse plague.

She could have questioned me about curing the curse plague as well, but she didnt say a word about it, just like now.

Why?

I heard Ella and Yurakne talking inside the carriage.

With the Audio Room function, I could eavesdrop on their conversation.

But I didnt use it.

After experiencing a major crisis, I couldnt use debulroots recklessly.

I wanted to gather it as much as possible just in case.

Moreover, I didnt feel comfortable using the status window itself.

I had learned the side effects of it through this incident.

I sat on a rock a little away from the carriage.

I heard the rattlemen chatting from the side.

Assistant Director! Lost her memory! Dried rat meat jerky! Betting two sheets!

No way! Shell be fine! Dried rat meat jerky! Betting three sheets!

Ironically, they were betting on whether Ellas memory would be intact.

Anyway, they were the luckiest ones in this circus.

Speaking of which Are they eating rat meat?

At that moment, the carriage door opened, and Yurakne called the members.

She said Ella might be confused, so each member should go and report.

I also tried to go, but a girl with white hair approached from the other side.

Director.

Maya hugged her cardigan tightly with a pale complexion.

The injured areas were all treated by me, but that didnt mean the shock and fatigue from the fight had been recovered.

Maya, are you okay?

Yes. Thanks to you, Commander. And you?

She spoke with a chilly tone, but I could read the concern underlying her voice.

Im fine.

I looked at the members approaching Ella.

She exchanged greetings with them with a pleasant face.

Fortunately, she seemed to have no major injuries.

Im sorry. I put everyone in danger because of my greed.

If she had been seriously wronged, I would have found it hard to forgive myself.

She risked her life for me.

And left me with the words that she was happy to be with me.

I used her, hiding the truth for my own purposes

She approached me sincerely in every aspect, to the point of innocence.

Maya.

Assistant Director.

She glanced over Mayas body and muttered.

Youre fine.

Mayas brow furrowed at her words.

I quickly intervened before they clashed again.

Ella, Maya fought somewhere else. Alone.

At my words, Ella withdrew her gaze and stared at me intently.

Then she chuckled.

But who are you?

With her single question, the audience froze.

Everyones expressions solidified.

Yurakne looked back and forth between Ella and me, covering her mouth.

I also felt a sense of tension inwardly.

There seemed to be nothing wrong, but

Could it be that it erased unhappy memories, so the memories of Wonderstein were completely gone?

Assistant-Director?

Ella?

Ella your memory?

As everyone barely managed to utter a few words with mouths that wouldnt close, a gust of wind blew.

Phew.

Ellas lips twitched.

She looked around at our faces, then burst into laughter, grabbing onto the edge of the coat.

Hahaha!

She rolled around on the floor of the carriage, causing everyone to stand bewildered, unsure of what to do, while she caught her breath and wiped away tears.

Why are you all so naive? Falling for something like this really?

Seeing the mischievous smirk on her face, we realized it was all just a prank.

Maya stifled a groan beside me.

Ella turned to me, poking fun, How could I not recognize that face?

Sticking out her tongue, she crossed her arms and grumbled, Seriously. Forget everything else, how could I forget that devil? Feeding off people like slaves.

An expression of discontent.

An annoyed tone.

It was the usual her.

The members nodded at each other, understanding.

Ella stroked her chest and muttered, Its not like its a scythe though? Getting stabbed with a kitchen knife would hurt more.

Leaning against the carriage wall, she kicked her legs.

I breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

I thought my heart would drop out at the end, but at least her memory seemed intact.

We couldnt verify all of her past, but at least everything with us seemed genuine.

Well, lucky us, she said, casting a displeased look my way, her eyes narrowed.

Then she got up from her seat and walked towards me.

Right in front of me.

Close enough to touch noses.

She looked up at me and said, What are you worried about? Theres no way Id forget you.

Of course. How could I I started to say.

Then, she suddenly tapped her forehead against my chest.

As I froze in surprise, about to push her away, she murmured, Youre my first audience

There was no annoyance in her voice this time.

Instead, it was filled with warmth and longing.

Next to Master, she continued.

Ella? I interrupted, grasping her shoulders as a sudden sense of unease washed over me.

Looking into her eyes, I was speechless.

The pupils glistened with tears.

Above all else, she whispered.

Then she wrapped her arms tightly around my waist, burying herself into my embrace.

I couldnt resist and simply accepted her hug.

She rubbed her cheek against my shirt and said, Youre the person I love most in the world.

A sudden silence fell upon us.

The members faces showed astonishment.

If I could, I would have probably made the same expression.

Ella wiped away tears with her hands and pushed me away.

That was a bit embarrassing just now! Geez, I cant believe taking advantage of an innocent girls feelings, what kind of heartless employer would do that she muttered, rolling her eyes.

Then she looked up at me, smiling brightly.

Anyway, Im glad youre safe, Director.

We all stood there, unable to breathe, as if rooted to the spot.
