Side Story 15
I raised my head. I saw gold eyes right in front of me
“Lydia.”
When I heard a firm voice with conviction, not confirmation, I burst into tears that I couldn't resist.
Ash seemed to be embarrassed when I started to cry, but the next moment, he hardened his face.
I look at Ash with eyes with tears in my eyes and soon look where Ash's eyes are headed.
“……Ah.”
I raised my hand and hurriedly covered my neck.
‘Ouch.'
Only then did the bitter sensation spread through the skin.
When I put a broken glass around the neck and threatened Mendy under the guise of a favour, did I cut myself? I think so.
I broke the mirror, so I couldn't check it, but the maid who was cleaning the room looked at the glass on the floor and my neck, and she was running around asking to see what else did I do.
“Ash, I'm…..”
As soon as I tried to say I was okay, Ash's firm eyes shifted to my feet this time.
Only then did I know what I was stepping on barefoot.
Hmm…… I don't have a good relationship with debris and glass today.
“Ash, I'm really fine, Agh!”
Ash hugged me even before I finished talking.
“I'm not okay. I am.”
“…….”
“Hey you, demon!”
“I’m not a demon! I'm a half-demon! Don't curse at me! And my name is Gyerg!”
“Do you know how to use healing magic?”
“If I know how to use it then……. What? You want me to use it right now? Hey, how busy am I right now…!”
“Ahhhhh!”
Then Alice screamed.
Shortly after that, there was a loud bang, and Gyerg rolled back and was stuck in the railing.
“Eugh!”
“Gyerg!”
Ash hugged me to avoid the debris. I was hugged by Ash and looked at Gyerg with a puzzled face and looked straight ahead.
“Sigh……”
Alice was standing in the middle of the darkness and turning her wrists as if she had just released from a bandage.
With my body.
I got goosebumps. My head recognized that my body was changed, but knowing it with my head and seeing it with my own eyes were completely different.
It's like a doppelganger…… Yes, I feel like I'm looking at a doppelganger.
That's a crazy doppelganger.
‘No.'
I will correct it. A crazy doppelganger.
Alice, who seemed crazy at all costs, stared at this side with my body and opened her mouth.
“Is the reunion over? Did you recognize it at a glance?”
“…….”
“I guess so. Haha, my God. How could you be so annoying?”
“Alice….”
That's not what I sang. It was Gyerg's voice who I didn't know if he was okay when he hit the railing.
Even before asking if he was okay, Gyerg continued.
“It was you, Alice, the tribe of enchanting.”
“Tribe of enchanting?”
It’s not enchanted cloth, but what?
I looked at Gyerg with a familiar but unfamiliar expression. Alice's voice, which answers, has a different voice.
“Do you know me? What are you?”
“I'm….”
A horn sprang from Gyerg's forehead.
It was the first time to see him for a long time since he maintained a human form with his horns hidden.
Alice spoke briefly as soon as she saw Gyerg’s horn.
“Half-demon.”
“I’m Gyerg.”
Being used to it, Gyerg corrected himself without being agitated.
Listening to the conversation between the two made me guess. I hurriedly opened my mouth.
“Wait, don't tell me…….Are you a demon? Alice?”
“That's right.”
Gyerg replied immediately and added an explanation.
“And among them, they're called the tribe of enchanting, who uses their mental abilities to seduce and brainwash others like their names. It's a nerve-wracking force. It seems like you had other skills.”
“Can you call it mental domination instead of brainwashing? I like it better.”
Instead of denying it, Alice said so.
At the same time, I was embarrassed by Alice' identity, which was revealed, and suddenly I remembered what Gyerg had said in the past.
In other words, the demon won the territorial battle between the demon and the half-demon.
Then I wondered where the demon who had been defeated but survived the war would have gone.….
‘It's just the way it was.'
I thought it might have been mixed between humans like Gyerg, and if it was mixed, it would be hard to recognize. Eventually, it was true!
Ha, now the question is solved.
Why no one knew Alice before she made her social debut.
Why she suddenly appeared as if she had risen from the ground.
‘Because she’s indeed risen from the ground.’
To be exact, it's from the magic world, but that's it anyway.
When I found out who Alice was, some of the questions were solved and now the rest are left.
I clung tighter to Ash's arms and shouted.
“Why did you do that?”
“That?”
“You said brainwashing! What's happened in society a while ago, did you do it all with that ability? Why did you do that?”
Several names, including Alandga Mora, came to mind and scattered.
It's not all-natural change and break-up, and all the reason is just because of one person. No, when I found out that it was a trick of a demon, I was filled with anger and injustice.
However, unlike this kind of anger, I did not expect a great answer from Alice when I asked her.
Honestly, I could see it even if I didn't listen to it.
I don't know what she'll say.
Of course, Alice said without changing her expression.
“Because it's fun.”
“……..!”
“Have you ever done that? When you see what happens when you catch a small insect and release it with one wing off.”
Alice smirked.
“That's what it is. You're just an insect to me, and you're a tiny, insignificant insect that's only worth stepping on.”
Even though I knew she was saying that on purpose, my hands got stronger.
Just one, no, I wish I could hit her 10 times.
It's my face, but if I were to hit it now, I could hit it without hesitation.
Then Gyerg snapped back.
“That's funny.”
I looked back at Gyerg without releasing the force I had given to my fist.
Gyerg stood arm in arm in front of his chest. The corners of his mouth were raised with laughter.
“What the hell are you talking about, pretending it’s fun and seeing them as insects? In fact, you just vent your anger.”
“What?”
“You got your territory taken, barely escaped and hid among humans, was miserable and angry at humans for no reason. Ugly.”
“You…….”
I listened absent-mindedly to what Gyerg said.
It was plausible.
“When everyone died fighting for their lives in the war, some of them ran away because they wanted to live, and in the meantime, their pride was crumpled, but they didn't have the power to fight against the demon, so instead, they used their power to use their anger on a pushover.”
“……..!”
“Did I say something wrong? You filthy coward.”
“You half-demon!”
Quang!
Alice rushed to Gyerg as if she had lost her reason, probably because she was stabbed on the nail. There was a huge explosion as the two bodies collided.
Ash hugged me and flew to the other terrace where the aftermath of the collision was not reached.
I hugged Ash and watched the scene happening on the terrace of Ash's bedroom with embarrassment, tightened closer together.
‘They fight well.'
My body was filming a spectacular action with Gyerg. I really don't know how to describe this person.
‘So what should I do now?'
Alice stopped trying to brainwash Ash with a kiss and knew she was a demon.
Everything was good. Actually, I kept my Ash, so I honestly didn't care what the rest were.
However, if there is at least one minor problem, it means that I and Alice are still in a different state.
‘I have to go back. Is there any other way than hitting my forehead?’
It is hard to say that this is a definite means, but there was no other way.
Since I couldn’t just tell Alice to give it back gently.
‘And she’s already telling me that threatened her by killing this body wouldn’t work.'
No, but should I try it?
Should I lie to her that I'm going to give her life if I get my body back?
‘Of course, this is only when I overpowered Alice on this side, but….’
Thinking so, I gazed at Gyerg impatiently, but at the same time, I felt a gaze. It was Ash.
“……….why?”
Oh, is it because my changed body is unfamiliar?
It can be. To put it bluntly, it was a miracle for Ash to recognize me without much procedure.
I don't know-how. I'm so glad to hear that.
When I thought of that, Ash opened his mouth.
“I'm regretting it.”
“Regret? What?”
“I shouldn't just attach surveillance, I just had to kill that with my own hands.”
“….….”
If I’m guessing right now, the story is about Alice, right?
“When the hell is surveillance……….”
“Eugh!”
Then I heard a suppressed scream. I hurriedly turned my head back.
“Gyerg!”
Gyerg spilt blood on the floor. It was red.
Alice looked disgusted when she saw it and was bitten one step back.
“Such a disgusting half-demon race, so your inside must be disgusting too. So disgusting.”
“Eugh, damn it……is it too much for me to do alone….”
What if he dies like that? My heart fluttered. I looked back at Ash and opened my mouth hurriedly.
“Ash.”
“…….”
Ash knew there was no other way, but he looked unwilling. But soon, he was forced to put me down.
“Don't move and stay still.”
I nodded sharply. Ash didn't take his eyes off me, but soon turned around and kicked the railing and took off.
