chapter 6
6 – Episode 6
He said he would use the training ground, so he followed him to monitor what he was doing and to report his strength to the family lord.
But something went wrong.
It was 30 minutes ago that I went to the locker room.
But why is it still not coming?
I hurriedly head to the locker room, but even there, there is only silence.
Then one possibility crossed my mind.
‘Could it be that he noticed that the milk from earlier had poison in it and did something stupid?’
If you noticed that, it’s definitely explained.
They said they were going to the locker room, but they weren’t in the locker room.
If I said it right, I could chase it.
The problem is that if you keep chasing it like that, before you know it, you’ll come back to where you started.
It is an emergency.
Even though she is a child, is it possible that her position as a saint of the church is not taking on her form?
You don’t know what they’re going to do, so you need to report it to the head of the household as soon as possible.
Thinking of that, I kicked out the training ground door and ran through the corridors when an ominous energy began to waft from the training ground I just came out of.
As if something wriggled her body just before waking up.
There is no time for this.
Something is about to happen right now.
It’s just that intuition screams.
If you run to the Lord right away, something will happen.
She moves her legs in order to go back the way she came from that thought and block it somehow.
As she approaches the training ground, she pulsates as if the air is alive.
If I had known this would happen, I would have taken the risk and had other servants wait around!
After going through the milk failure earlier, I became cautious and dared to bite the servants, but that was the wrong choice.
She arrived at the gate of the training ground as if it was a reward for her desperately moving her legs, but that ominous energy was still squirming.
She tries to open the door in haste, but doesn’t budge, as if something is pushing the door from the other side.
As I continued to push and pull the door in my impatient mind, something unexpected happened.
The pulsation of the air, the wriggling of its ominous aura stopped.
At the same time, the force pushing the door from the inside disappears at once.
Since I pushed the door as hard as I could, the door opened and I fell to the floor.
“Wow!”
I feel pain in my knee, but it’s not the time to pay attention to that.
I hurriedly got up and looked around, and I saw the child in the center of the training ground, assuming a prayer-like appearance.
I don’t know what’s going on, but now that my energy has stopped, it’s an opportunity.
He took out a dagger hidden in his thigh and threw it.
But it didn’t happen that the dagger did its job.
In an instant, something was wrapped around the child’s body and was absorbed, so the dagger bounced off the fragile skin.
I had no choice but to grab a dagger and rushed to harm the child myself.
But that also doesn’t work properly.
In an instant, black shining weapons appeared from the air and began tearing up the surrounding space as if to block them from approaching.
‘I shouldn’t have let you go to the locker room alone! Since I was still a child, I should have always been by your side…’
This is indeed a mistake.
Since it’s the changing room right in front of you, you’ve been caught off guard and given a way to get out of the surveillance.
After a brief retreat due to the swords tearing in all directions, the third power is realized.
A thick, thick black fog erodes all around.
The vast training ground is turning into darkness, as if it were the middle of the night.
Instinct sounds the alarm.
That should not be touched.
You shouldn’t drink it.
I tried to avoid it as much as possible, but it was impossible to avoid the fog that spread as if filling the bowl called the training ground.
Finally, the moment arrives when the little struggle is not enough, and we are eventually enveloped in an oncoming fog.
At the same time, a terrible, unmatched voice echoed from all directions.
“Take it. Serve. For you.”
“Trust me. Love Bless you.”
“Swallow. Accept it spread it.”
It shakes my head.
Change the value.
Correct me.
You break me.
“No… No…”
To get away from the sound of going crazy, I take out a dagger and stab him in the thigh.
“Keep it off…”
The pain that came from that drove away the fog in my head for an instant, but it couldn’t be maintained.
Once again, I’m going to correct it.
It changes correctly.
No! No. No.
Incorrect!
The abnormal is becoming normal.
What was twisted unfolds.
Fixed.
No. It will break.
What’s wrong is that child…
A kid over there?
That child connected to him?
Wrong? Are you a saintess? Why?
It can’t be?
The saintess who delivers his words could not be wrong.
So am I wrong?
…
Ah, that was it.
My life, my existence was wrong.
The black fog that filled his head disappeared.
As the black mist disappears, only my mind remains, repainted in a clean, monochromatic color.
A surprisingly clear mind.
What have I been up to?
The wound stabbed by the sword has already been healed by his power, but a wound more painful than that hurts his heart.
Saint, no, you tried to harm the young lady.
A lady is someone who should be happy.
But I thought I was going to step on the path that would make her happy.
Only regret remains.
But I can’t express those feelings.
The lady got up after praying.
Oops, the girl’s clothes are soaked with sweat.
I think I should take her to the changing room.
The young lady doesn’t seem to be able to find her way.
“…Lady. Are you done?”
“Oh, yes.”
“I will wash the clothes. I’ll take you to the locker room.”
How can such a small thing make you feel happy?
It’s safe to call my life so far trash.
As I was leading the young lady to the dressing room, the young lady’s thoughts were transmitted to me through a single thread of hers.
Poor girl.
Worried about being hated for such trivial things.
“I have no reason to hate you.”
“Oh.”
When you comfort a young lady with sadness, you feel warm and fuzzy.
Ah… This is my reason for living, my reason for being.
All my life I will exist for the happiness of the young lady.

Illyana seemed to be having a hard time finding the locker room, so she gave me directions.
And on the way back.
In the middle, Illyana, who kept getting lost, was cute and contained the sound of holding back her laughter, but it was a minor mistake.
Anyway, back at the training ground, Illyana began her prayers.
Illyana is the first to start praising me.
As Illyana’s praise continues, I feel that her aura, which feels a sense of kinship, begins to spread in the material world where Illyana is.
Her energy gradually increases in pressure and amount.
As I was praising for so long, I heard someone knocking on the door and trying to come in.
But Illyana looks like she’s focused on prayer and she’s not hearing it at all.
As she contemplates whether to tell Illyana her words or not, Illyana’s prayers turn to her repentance.
Things that would normally never be said come out of Illyana’s mouth.
It must be the influence of education.
While such repentance continued, the energy that spread throughout the material world was absorbed by Illyana.
And perhaps thanks to the lack of energy, the door opens and a maid trying to get in falls down.
Illyana’s exclusive maid, who used to be called Ea.
Perhaps she sensed something was wrong with her and came to check on Illyana’s safety.
I think Illyana likes it quite a bit.
Is this the first time she has someone to open up to?
But Ea takes completely different actions from my wishes.
She skillfully pulls her daggers from her thighs and throws them at Illyana.
Fortunately, Illyana must have used her powers, and her daggers bounced off her instead of getting stuck.
She watches the scene with a mixture of bewilderment and anger, and just as she is about to use her tentacles to interfere with her material world, Illyana unleashes her second power.
Black swords appeared in the air and were swung randomly.
Ea, who was rushing towards Illyana, stepped back to avoid the frenzy of weapons that suddenly appeared.
That maid named Eara.
What the hell. Didn’t she say that she was a member of the eclipse cult?
But why are they trying to harm their saintess?
Could it be that you tricked the family head?
First of all, she intends to harm Illyana, so when she tries to summon her tentacles to expedite her, Illyana’s third power unfolds.
A thick black fog covers the space like the night sky.
As soon as I saw that scene, I realized what authority Illyana used.
Follow-up.
An authority used by evil spirits to increase their followers.
In the original work, only the evil gods were used, and Illyana was unable to use the power, but it wasn’t that she couldn’t use it, it was that she didn’t use it.
Ea desperately runs to and fro to avoid her fog gradually filling her space, but she is eventually swallowed up by her fog.
So she was swallowed up by her mist, and after a while, I felt a part of her power flowing into her Ea.
And as her fog melted away, Ea’s appearance was revealed as if she had gone out of her mind somewhere.
The image of trying to hurt Illyana from earlier is gone, and even though Illyana is right in front of her eyes, she just stands still with the light in her eyes lost, staring at her in the void.
When she is worrying that something is wrong during her reunion, Illyana makes her move.
Illyana wakes up after praying.
She prayed so hard that her clothes are soaked with sweat and her legs are shaking.
And Ea approaches Illyana.
Since she was victimized by her family, she doesn’t worry much, but she is ready to take a picture with her tentacles at any time in preparation for her unforeseen situation.
At that time, something woven from Illyana to her Ea, as if connecting Illyana and Ea.
As soon as she was surprised by that, Ea began to show her kindness to Illyana as if it was a lie that Ea had just killed her Illyana.
It must have been done properly.
Thinking so, on the other hand, it is unpleasant to see the person who tried to harm her Illyana attached to her Illyana,
On the other hand, I feel relieved that Illyana now has someone who can truly open her heart.
And judging from her Illyana’s reaction, she doesn’t seem to know that she brainwashed her Ea.
Then she had no reason to tell me.
If Ea knew that she was brainwashed with her own authority, she would never react well.
She gently lowered her arm, which had been straining her towards her Ea, and laid back on her sofa in a comfortable position. A blue window of hers appeared in front of her eyes.
