Chapter 131
⌈ “I look like an ordinary black cat, but I am a devil who created a rift in the world with black magic. I came to this world through a contract with someone.” ⌋
So, was Neo coming because of Evan? I suddenly remembered Evan wearing a black cat mask at the masquerade. I got a feeling but…
I muttered while staring blankly at Neo.
“Neo? How could you speak…”
―When I was alone, I couldn’t speak because I didn’t have enough energy, but with my contractor, I got more energy.
“What energy?”
―The energy of black magic. It’s extremely rare in this world. Especially since my contractor hasn’t been baptized, the energy suits me better.
“If you followed me well and I liked you so much, then…”
Neo smiled and waggled his tail.
—It’s a bit pitiful. It’s not that you liked me, I liked you, though since I saved you, it’s like raising a pet.
…Did it think it was pitiful every time I said, ‘Neo, do you like me that much?’
Even though I thought of Neo as a pet, it was absurd that it was the other way around. Well, from the very first time we met, Neo called me ‘baby.’
―Well, while the gray-haired slave Sven was more supportive, you were cuter.
I thought it was a relief that Sven, the gray-haired slave, wasn’t here.
“Well, but why did you start talking at this timing…”
―That guy just fell in love and lost his words. i don’t like things like this.
Neo glanced at Evan and continued.
―My contractor, Evan Rainier Ickard.
Saying so, Neo’s tail waggled.
―As Laria said, you cannot cancel black magic with antimagic. I can only see its origin.
Evan nodded his head, giving a look of doubt about his mental state as he was talking to a cat.
―Unlike the last time, your life this time is very boring. I recommend looking at your wonderful past life and reflecting on it.
Them, it hit the antimagic doll with its paw.
―Well, my pet wants to see it, so I’ll show it to you. What kind of world was the world that my contractor destroyed?
The next moment, the visions began to unfold in front of me and Evan. It was a world where I finally died, a world that disappeared and was restored because of Evan and Neo.
18. The Disappeared World of the Past.
It was the academy graduation day.
Thirteen-year-old Evan was standing alone in front of the school gate blankly.
Ever since he beat Viscount Gerdy’s son, no one had spoken to him. Even the teachers wrote a letter to the Duke, but they couldn’t properly scold him. It was a lonely academy year, but he wasn’t particularly looking forward to going home.
He waited alone for a long time when the Duke’s carriage arrived.
“Get in.”
Calaudin said without even getting off his horse.
He didn’t ride carriages well because he found it frustrating from the beginning. So, Evan had no choice but to ride the carriage alone.
As he got into the carriage, he glanced back and saw everyone’s family congratulating them on graduation and receiving bouquets of flowers. Without saying a word, he sat quietly in the carriage with his luggage and arrived at the Duke’s residence.
When he arrived at the Duke’s residence, it was dark. As he got out of the carriage, Calaudin opened his mouth.
“Ah, I submitted the marriage registration to the Imperial Palace a few days ago.”
“What?”
“Your marriage.”
At those words, Evan quietly raised his head and looked out the window of his room at the Duke’s residence. It seemed that someone had a light on.
“She has been living in your room for the past few days.”
He immediately recognized that Calaudin was talking about his wife.
“I was going to take her to the graduation ceremony, but she was so sick just before departure that I left her at the Duke’s residence.”
“Yes.”
One day at the age of thirteen, he suddenly had a wife though Evan didn’t ask any questions. Anyway, he went because Calaudin told him to go to the academy, and he came back after graduating.
Life so far had always been like that.
Therefore, when he said that he was married, it was just that.
After Evan ordered his servants to load up his luggage first, he circled around the Duke’s residence and entered the room deliberately slowly. In his own way, he put his luggage in the room first so that she would not be surprised when she saw him.
So, when he went a little slowly to his room, he could see a girl barely getting up from the bed. She was a cute girl with pink hair that hung down to her waist, round purple eyes, and docile features.
“Cough, cough.”
She coughed, covering her mouth with her handkerchief, then hurriedly wiped her mouth and looked at Evan.
“Hh…hi.”
And, she said hello first.
“I’m Laria Rose Rostri… no, it’s Laria Rose Icard. You must be Evan.”
Evan hesitated for a moment as to what to answer because he had never had a friendly conversation with anyone.
“I’m a year older than you… I haven’t been here in a while.”
He was a little surprised, as he had no idea she was older than he was. It was because she was small and skinny that he naturally assumed that she was younger than him.
“This room, too… I didn’t know that it was your room after your luggage came up earlier. I’m sorry I put my stuff on my own.”
It seemed that this room was originally Evan’s room, and he didn’t know that they would share it from now on. Calaudin didn’t seem to explain that much. After all, his father always had no explanation for him either.
“It’s okay.”
Evan replied bluntly. In fact, Laria had almost nothing.
“I don’t have much either, well. I’ll go to bed after I wash and pack my things, so go to bed first. I heard you were not feeling well.”
In fact, the girl, Laria’s complexion was quite pale. Seeing that she was coughing earlier, she must have felt unwell.
Even though it was the room he stayed in during his occasional vacation from the academy, he was definitely a little uncomfortable sharing it with someone. This was because he always had a single room, even at the academy.
After washing and changing into a dressing gown, he was trying to organize the books first, but he felt a gaze somewhere.
As he looked at the bed, frowning, he could see Laria rubbing her sleepy eyes as she gazed at him.
“Go to bed first.”
“Hey…”
Despite his blunt words, she even smiled slightly.
“I heard you graduated from the academy today.”
“Yes.”
“Originally, I should have gone out to meet you with father, but I’m sorry.”
He didn’t know why Laria was sorry, so he didn’t answer at all. Still, Laria smiled bashfully and continued her words.
“Congratulations on your graduation.”
Evan was momentarily dazed and blinked at her.
It was a word he didn’t even know he was waiting for. He thought he was the only one who didn’t hear congratulations on graduating from the academy.
“I’m sorry I said it late.”
Laria spoke kindly.
“If I were even a little bit better… I should have gone with father and told you that in front of the school gate.”
“Huh? Yes.”
It was only then did he could felt the back of his neck heat up and he averted his eyes from Laria. There was something very embarrassing about it.
“Let’s get along well from now on.”
Looking at him, who couldn’t answer properly, Laria grinned.
“Is there anyone else I can trust except you?”
“…What?”
“Then, I’ll sleep first.”
After uttering a meaningful word, she lay down and closed her eyes.
That night, Evan woke up several times at dawn to the sound of Laria’s coughing. Even so, he didn’t feel uncomfortable sharing a room with someone anymore.
