Chapter 195 Honesty, Honesty, Honesty.

Nothing is more precious than time.

I checked the ancient runes I had collected inside the World of Painting.

Even though I had given the frame to Maiev, it was not hard for me to enter this place.

I sat on a chair and spread out the necessary materials and books.

I also made a small round table and put a teacup and a teapot on it.

This was a perfect working environment.

“The previous world...”

The connection with the previous world.

I had regarded the runes as a means to manifest powerful magic, but when I discovered the connection, my interest surged like crazy.

“...”

I closed my eyes and activated the power of the runes.

A black sight, a white and thin passage appeared.

My goal today was to confirm the ‘connection’ between the previous world and the ancient runes.

The passage was visible, so it must be certain.

Sssss─

Soon, a door was created at the end of the passage.

That must be the boundary that connects the two worlds.

Bang!

But as soon as I confirmed that, my sight was blocked.

The reason was obvious without guessing.

It was because there were still ancient runes that I had not collected.

“How interesting.”

What would happen if the connection between the two worlds became free?

On the other hand, I had another thought. Did someone intentionally bring me to this world?

If so, who dares?

I was lost in such thoughts when it happened.

Boom─!

A huge explosion occurred on the other side of the World of Painting.

It seemed like a fierce battle was going on.

At the same time, a Vampire passed by in front of me.

She was holding a child vampire, and she was so desperate that I could not describe him.

It was not a strange thing.

I was not the owner of the World of Painting in the first place.

It would not be strange if someone else used it.

I focused on examining the materials.

Boom─!

But the explosions and screams continued.

After a while, a Vampire with a familiar face ran up to me, holding someone.

It was Maiev, the owner of the World of Painting.

“Hello.”

She greeted me awkwardly and then slammed into the ground.

I answered her from a distance.

“Yeah.”

I glanced at her and saw that other Vampires were chasing her.

I briefly watched the chase and then lost interest.

Boom─!

Crash─!

After that, the whole World of Painting shook with shocks, and Maiev showed up again.

Was it a reunion after ten minutes?

She looked miserable as she met me again. Her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her face, and her expression was hollow as if she had lost everything.

She smiled at me with a forced smile.

“...We meet often.”

We had no reason to talk.

But I guessed why Maiev tried to talk to me.

She had something she really wanted to say, but she could not bring it up and was wandering around.

He took out a pendant from his chest.

It had a grotesque shape of a black heart with a dagger stuck in it.

“It means a special mission from the princess herself. The whole Void is after Maiev. The moment you interfere, you will be crushed too.”

“I understand.”

“Good. You better think again. If you disappear right now, I won’t hold you accountable.”

I finally closed the book I was reading.

“I don’t need to worry about that.”

At the same time, the book flew with telekinesis.

Bang!

The giant vampire creature fell like a scarecrow, and I started to crush the pendant floating in the air with telekinesis.

The faces of the vampire creatures were filled with horror.

Even Maiev was staring at me with wide eyes.

“Stop! Stop it now!”

“What are you doing...! The princess’s pendant!”

“─!”

Of course, I didn’t stop.

The pendant couldn’t withstand the force and crumbled with a clatter.

One of the vampire creatures asked incredulously.

“Do you really understand what you have done?”

The giant vampire creature who got up again joined in.

He had completely lost his reason.

“Human, how dare you tarnish the princess’s honor! The whole Void will chase you. You better give up on surviving!”

“Why do you talk so much?”

I snapped his neck with telekinesis.

“I’ll talk to Maiev.”

◈

Maiev was speechless and helpless, opening and closing her mouth like a fish.

She looked at me and the powdered pendant alternately with a shocked face.

A brief silence in the midst of chaos.

“Hmm.”

Flan was relaxed even at this moment.

The man dyed the whole world of fire with his mana.

“No need for excuses, Maiev.”

He gently waved his finger as if conducting a melody.

Countless blue magic circles appeared behind him.

“...”

Maiev looked up at Flan, who stood next to her.

He seemed to have chosen to protect her.

And then...

“What is your honesty?”

A word that struck Maiev’s heart.

Maiev unconsciously licked her lips.

“I...”

Her exhausted heart started to beat again.

“I...”

Her frozen heart melted and left only sincerity.

She longed for both honesty and preciousness.

She wouldn’t be confused about this feeling anymore.

“I want to live. Please, I want to get out of this... Please─!”

She wanted to survive and spend truthful days.

She wanted to live and enjoy a precious relationship.

She uttered her deep sincerity as if begging.

Flan nodded lightly.

“It will be so.”

As if he knew from the beginning, that this would happen.
