Chapter 130
In the original story, why did Fred recite such a strange line?
I slowly turned my head towards Sven, who was holding onto the glowing Neo.
“Sven.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you say you studied the black magic that revives people?”
“…Yes. From the moment Miss Laria took an interest in it, I studied it very deeply.”
“Just in case. When you turn back time by reviving the dead.. is it also bringing the dead person from another world?”
Sven nodded at my trembling question.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s something I only found in very old ancient texts.”
I caught my breath.
“It was said that if a dead person is reincarnated and living in another world, the soul was brought to it and was put into the body of the past.”
My heart was pounding. Then, I was possessed by… from the moment I was possessed, all my old memories felt like mine, and there was no sense of incongruity…
“Especially if you live miserably in that world, I heard they’re even more drawn to it.”
I’d definitely lived a miserable life.
‘Maybe, maybe…’
So far, there has been too much evidence of my entanglement with dark magic. But now, seeing how Neo reacted to Evan… I wondered if he was also involved in black magic.
⌈ Most black magic can be reversed by magic resistance, but even magic resistance is useless once a ‘crack’ is formed. ⌋
It was already a crack, anyway. So even if I was the owner of the black magic that revived people, I couldn’t undo this black magic.
⌈However, it is possible to know the origin of the ‘crack through magic resistance. ⌋
Still, there was a way to know the truth.
“Neo, come here.”
When I said a word to Neo, who was in Sven’s arms, it immediately fell into my arms. At the same time, while Sven immediately looked devastated, he couldn’t help it.
“Hey, I’m really sorry.”
I hugged Neo and opened my mouth.
“Except for Evan and Neo, can you leave for a while? I have something to talk about with Evan for a moment.”
Hearing those words, there was someone who started sobbing again.
“Laria, did I say something wrong? I am the one who has something to talk about with you. It’s the first time I’ve seen you in a few years…!”
Fred knocked on the table and shook his head.
“And being with that madman is crazy!”
“Brother, I’m sorry…”
Fred looked really nice and pitiful, he looked so much like me, even when he was crying.
“Let’s talk again later. I have something really urgent right now.”
“That madman was your husband? How hard has it been for you to run away like this? Damn, the East Continent has divorce laws, but not here. Such a backward country…”
In the meanwhile, Evan’s eyes began to flash more at the word divorce, and I ended up taking Fred out myself. Of course, I sent Nathan and Sven away, along with Fred as well.
“Sven, give Nathan and brother a room.”
“Laria, do you think things will go so smoothly? Even if there is a knife in my throat…”
“Please give brother the best room. Even though he must have suffered in the meantime, take care of him with special services such as the best bedding, meals, and bath water.”
“…Even if there is a knife in my throat, I have to go.”
Even without a knife to his throat, Fred was my brother. In the end, Evan, I, and Neo were eventually left in the room.
I took out the magic resistance doll from my pocket.
“Evan.”
If my thoughts are true, he was the one who reversed time.
“I heard that your father tried to turn back time and bring Lady Matilda back to life.”
“…Yes. I only found out after you left.”
I took a deep breath before uttering my words carefully, hoping that what I was saying now wouldn’t sound crazy.
“…This is just my opinion, but it feels like time has already turned back.”
“Huh?”
“And…”
Evan just stared at me with a surprised face.
“The person you and father brought back in time…”
Even as I said it, it didn’t feel real, so I hesitated.
“I think it is me.”
Silence fell over the table.
Evan stayed blank for a while, then he frowned and asked back.
“…What are you talking about, Laria? So, are you saying that we are once again living in the world that saved you?”
I nodded quietly.
―The energy of black magic I feel from you is too strong, enough to blow up a world.
If I had returned due to black magic, I would have blown up one of the worlds in which I died.
“If my thoughts are true, you are the one who used the black magic.”
It was because Evan was the only unbaptized person who could destroy the holy relic.
“So, I guess I should ask you… there is a way to know the truth, so would it be okay to take a look?”
“Is there any reason not to take a look?”
At his words, I hesitated slightly and bit my lower lip.
So many things happened that I didn’t have time to talk about them right now…
Anyway, I fooled Evan and Duke Icard. Even though I didn’t think it was wrong, I thought that I couldn’t be loved the same way I used to be. But even more so, if Evan had saved me from the past, he would have had no choice but to be disappointed.
Could I say that I was the same as I am now? In my past life, I thought I was saved because I was precious, but what if I regret that, too?
It was when I was about to explain the devil Neo who reacted to me hesitantly.
“Laria, I am.”
Evan, watching my hesitation, sighed and ran his hair through his hair.
“I never thought I would say this in a place like this, but…”
His eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were a mess. Still, after learning that Kyle wasn’t another man, he quickly became docile.
“…I really like you.”
If confession had a timing, now was the worst.
We had a lot of conversations we haven’t had yet. Just a few minutes ago, we were yelling at each other and even blaming each other. Nevertheless, my heart was pounding because it was the first time Evan said he liked something.
“Even if you like someone else, even if you cheat on me, even if you leave me…”
Looking straight at me, who was speechless, Evan spoke one more time slowly.
“…I love you with all my heart.”
I was in a daze for a while, then muttered.
“You… you say you don’t like me as a woman.”
“I was afraid that you would be pressured for a successor. I didn’t want to have children because I was afraid it would be bad for you.”
“Ah…”
“How can I not like you as a woman? You are the only woman I want to hold and have in my world.”
Then, the reason why he used to make such a fuss when I used a room in the past…
“Even if I had a previous life or if I loved you for other reasons, it doesn’t matter.”
However, even at the worst timing, Evan’s confession was so necessary right now.
“So, let’s find out everything.”
He gazed at me and said without wavering.
“No matter how you tricked me, it doesn’t matter what your original personality is. I already gave my heart to you in the few words you said so far.”
While tinkering with the doll, I immediately asked.
“A few words… what is that?”
“Well…”
Evan said in a low voice.
“Congratulations on graduating, or telling me you were my wife… There are moments that remain vividly in my memory. I don’t care how you said it.”
“….”
“I told you. I am desperate for your sympathy and acting.”
To be honest, I wasn’t always acting when I was with Evan. Those were the words I really wanted to say.
The next moment, I gazed Evan in the eyes and nodded my head slowly. Even though there would still be a lot of conversation left to clear up misunderstandings, I wanted to follow through on his words right now.
“How do we know if we have all regressed or not? Can we know the world before we returned?”
So, I made up my mind.
…Anyway, I decided to face the truth.
“Since we can find out the ‘origin’ of black magic with this, it probably works. I read it in a book.”
I put the magic resistance doll on the table.
I thought magic resistance was a force that was never needed, but it played such a role when it was decisive.
“However… how do I use this?”
It was when I was tilting my head while looking at the doll…
“Nyaaaa!”
Neo glanced at my face and sat down on the table without a moment to stop.
“Nya.”
“Neo!”
Then, it touched the doll with magic resistance power with its front paws.
―It’s frustrating, I can’t bear to watch it anymore.
We were all surprised when a soft voice came out of Neo’s mouth. In particular, Evan, who did not know that Neo was the incarnation of the devil, was staring like he was about to faint.
I, too, was dumbfounded because I didn’t know Neo could speak.
—My contractor, you.
Saying those words, Neo’s eyes were on Evan.
―Where did the you who screamed that as long as Laria was alive, you would be satisfied go?
I was dumbfounded as if I had been hit in the head.
…Neo was the devil Evan contracted with to turn back time to save me.
