Chapter 75

TL: Zimming

Pymon looked at me with a frown. Then he looked around.

“There’s no music here. You must be out of your mind to call me into this miserable place. What are you doing? Why don’t you bow down to me right now!”

Boone, the first demon I called, was very gentle, but Pymon wasn’t at all.

‘But she’s very pretty.’

She was as graceful as Javelin. As soon as I thought so, Pymon widened her eyes.

“I’m your older brother!”

Then he gets startled and corrects himself, “No, man!”

‘He’s a little clumsy.’

“What? How dare you, human!”

Swoosh!

A sharp wind swirled around me. I closed my eyes tightly and covered my head with my arms because it was a blade-like wind which was usually used in magic battle, but I couldn’t feel it even after some time.

‘Huh?’

“Da, damn it…”

‘Pymon, you can’t attack me?’

“No!”

I laughed.

‘I see. If I summon a devil, they can’t hurt me.’

Boone was so docile and he was polite to me. I didn’t know that there was any danger of being attacked, but turns out the summoned devil seemed to have this heavy restriction.

‘Let me ask you a few questions.’

“Why should I answer human questions?”

‘Cause if you don’t, I won’t grant your wish.’

“What?! You think it’s possible to keep me for a long time? You won’t last long either.”

‘If you don’t like being called, you can go back, right? Then why don’t you go back?’

“Th,that….”

‘No way…he couldn’t go back?’

Pymon’s eyes shook.

It was not difficult to guess why he could not go back.

1. My wish is so desperate that he cannot return.

2. He can return only until I fulfill his wishes and the devil exerts his power to me.

Pymon wasn’t as kind as Boone, so I couldn’t ask which one is right, but only one thing is clear.

‘I have the upper hand in this deal.’

“You’re de, devilish!”

I shrugged and laughed.

‘What’s your wish, then?’

Pymon replied with his eyes glistening.

“Pure mana.”

‘You already have a lot of mana. You said you’re a high-ranking devil.’

“The mana human had is better than a devil’s mana. They’re purer than devil’s mana.”

Pymon hugged his arms in ecstasy. I looked at Pymon and shook my head.

‘Then here’s a question. What can you do if I grant your wish?’

He lifted his eyebrows with a grin.

“I can let all humans look up to you. The most brilliant honor in the world will be yours.”

‘Honor…’

Vallua was the most honorable of the five dukes, but he always struggled to protect that honor.

He tried not to be greedy for money to keep his family honor, but eventually he had no money left.

In the end, he was turned into a greedy man by money, trying to win the right to trade tea leaves.

Honor was meaningless to me like that.

“Then I’ll make you the best musician in the world.”

‘That…’

“I’ll make you a writer who can make many masterpieces.”

I’d rather have the power of Boone. I could show Louis to the chairman one more time.

Pymon’s face was distorted by my casual thought.

“How dare you compare me to that devil! I’m good at all kinds of art, and I’m also the best devil when it comes to science and magic–!”

‘Magic? So you can do special magic? For example, long-distance travel?’

When I looked at him happily, Pymon laughed.

“Of course.”

I jumped up and hugged Pymon. He got flustered and shouted,

“What, what are you doing!”

“Bu, But even if I tell you how, it’s useless without granting my wish.”

‘There is a way.’

“What?”

I know a genius who wiped out the monsters, but wasn’t executed because of the skills she had.

I stared at the door with a grin. Exactly. Veronica’s room is outside that door.

‘When Veronica is on my side, I can get my hands on Pymon’s knowledge…’

***

Then I went back to Veronica’s room, and she smiled brightly at me.

“Little miss! I’ve finished all the preparations.”

After Pymon was summoned, the stone seemed to have returned to normal.

She put the stone on a string and wrapped it carefully around my wrist.

When I looked in the mirror, it was as if I never lost my teeth.

‘Wow, this is awesome.’

I laughed as cutely as I could and grabbed Veronica’s hands. She looked at me shyly.

“I want to get along with Veronica.”

Very, very, very.

Her face lit up at my words.

“M, me too! My wish is to have a friend who is as cute as you! Other kids are afraid of me because they thought I am a monster!”

“From now on, be my best friend.”

Veronica wrapped both of her cheeks in her hand.

“Thank you so much for this. I’ll invite you to my mansion later. Let’s play together!”

“Well, shall we? Then I’ll also take a bunch of fun toys!”

“Yes!”

I took Veronica’s hand, and left the room. I listened to her never-ending stories.

“Each stone has a different solidness and purity, so the formula is different, which is very tricky….”

Veronica was thrilled to see me showing no signs of boredom.

I came down the stairs after greeting Veronica. At the same time, Johann was going down as he had finished his business here.

“Are you done?”

I nodded my head when he asked.

“Yes, let’s go ba—“

At the moment, I felt a vibration in my body. Pymon who was connected to my soul was very excited.

[That’s him!]

‘What?’

[Look at this purity and depth. Among the guys I’ve met in the last hundred years, he’s the best.]

I was shocked.

‘Calm down. Other people have a lot of mana, so why is it Johann’s? Veronica also has amazing mana.’

[Her power’s contaminated.]

‘Contaminated…why?’

[She’s too old. Mana are usually pure the younger the owner is.]

Then it will be difficult to get the powerful, pure mana that Pymon wants.

All human beings were born with mana, but few had channels to vent.

A vent is, for example, a faucet. Only hot water comes from hot water faucets, and cold water comes from cold water faucets.

When we are young, we don’t know how to vent, so of course, the older we get, the more we practice, the easier it is to vent our power.

We call those who can freely let out their mana at a young age, such as the three brothers of Dubbled and Adrian, a genius.

‘There’s no other genius like Johann.’

Wait…there is another one, Adrian.

I asked Pymon.

‘Then how can I get the mana?’

[You can do it easily.]

‘That’s a relief! What’s the solution?’

When I heard the answer, I wanted to grab Pymon’s collar.

‘That’s not easy!’

***

A few days later, at the Duke’s office.

The three brothers in the office stood in front of the Duke with a look of indifference.

“Johann, what’s your plan?”

“For the time being, I will stay in the estate and pursue those who attacked me. At the end of the vacation, I will return to the academy. Please assign Dubos as my assistant.”

“What about you, Henry?”

“I’m going to the academy soon. I will live in a dormitory during the semester and receive education here during vacation.”

Isaac said, “We’re the same,” and the Duke called Nos.

“Yes, Your Excellency?”

“As soon as Johann graduates…”

In the middle of the conversation, the duke’s gaze turned to the window.

Henry and Isaac were also smiling while following the duke’s gaze.

A light brown hair was sticking out.

With his arms crossed, the Duke watched the little spy by the window.

She was moving cautiously, and every time she walked, her hair fluttered.

The girl, who was stuck in the corner, raised her hand on the window frame this time. Then she gently raised her head.

“….!”

When her eyes met with all the people in the room, she hid quickly.

Johann narrowed his forehead.

But the really weird thing was, it wasn’t her.

“It-, it’s nice weather today! What is the kid doing?”

“Maybe she’s taking a nap.”

“Nos, make sure LeBlaine sleeps with a blanket on.”

“Ye-, yes!”

They were desperate to ignore their eye contact with the child.

They were very strange.

‘Are they crazy?’
