Chapter 190.
The suddenly remembered system window suddenly stopped thinking. From then on, memories that had disappeared like a tidal wave began to flood the mind.
The game, Iben, the shards, the brainwashing ……
“…… crazy.” This was not reality. Realizing this, the system window began to flicker as if it had disappeared. It was as if I had been hit with cold water and was instantly sobered. I was squeezing tears and snot out of my eyes a moment ago, and colorlessly bluffed as I pressed [Accept].
Please strongly call out magic spells until < System> [Brainwashing Gauge] reaches 100%! (Magic Master Gate: Mr. Lakra)
With my family welcoming me, I remembered the dashboard of thrilling action that approached 90%. The playfield is too intense.
Gawking at the absurdity of the situation is also temporary. The colors turn red and glow chaotically.
“Uh, uh …….”
Looking at the one approaching 100%, I forgot about being burned and shouted out a strange incantation.
“Ra, Rakra-san!”
“90%.”
The bright red luminescence became frequent. The real magic spell worked.
“Crazy, Lakra-san!”
But the relief is also temporary. Trying to rise quickly, I didn’t have a break, this kind of shouted loudly.
“(Laclerc-san! Laclerc-san! Mr. Laclerc!”
Like hell, as said, the stronger the shout, the greater the value drops.
“52%.”
Starting from the moment when the value was halved in an instant. The terrifying welcome of this life unfolding in front of me began to crack like a piece of glass.
“It’s disappearing…!” I, who repeatedly looked at the frequent dashboards and gold, suddenly showed a sad expression and my voice broke.
“Mr. Laclerc!”
“44%.”
Fah, faz, faz – the broken image finally, clanked! made a loud cracking sound and collapsed. The faces of the family members turned into shards and clattered down in front of their eyes.
”…Everything was just a fantasy”
But the moment I saw the fragments of the second doggy’s face, the pain and agony I felt just now was too much, and the face became blurred.
“You, you …… uh, how ……”
Like shattering with a hammer, the scene shattered and disappeared, revealing the appearance of Iben who was stiff with his eyes open. Without realizing it I was back in Penelope’s room in the game. The “brainwashing rules” were still floating in the air. But when I saw the stunned face, my eyes rolled up.
“I’m almost there. Obviously almost succeeded, how did it happen so fast ……!”
‘This crazy bitch.’ I clenched my teeth and glared hard at Iben, bursting into a rage.
“I told you to let go of me!” You touched something you shouldn’t have.
“Wait, Penelope…!”
“Mr. Lakra″!”
Bang! Out of nowhere, a cloud of white debris, only a fist’s worth, flew and lodged itself into Iben.
“Ah!”
Without hesitation, Iben flew to the other side with a scream.
Clunk clunk clunk! With a cacophonous noise, the tiny body roughly lodged itself in the wall and then clattered to the floor.
“Cool!”
Iben, who collapsed like an abandoned doll, coughed and spat out blood with a swish.
Too much magical power caused me to panic and flinch. At that moment, the “brainwashing rules” floating in mid-air suddenly disappeared. Did it work?” But why was the window floating. “With shaking eyes alternately looking at the void and her time.
“Bah……! Penelope. Ah, spare me …….”
Bleeding profusely once more, Ibn begged me for life.
“I’m sorry Penelope …… so please ……”
Pitifully turning to me, I frowned at her as she reached out to me. Instead of feeling sympathy, I felt creeped out.
“Go to hell, damnable evil spirit.” Reciting lines that might appear in an exorcism movie, I just moved a step towards the movie. Suddenly a bright light opened up in front of him.
< System >Sudden mission failure! Stopped [Evil Forces], but your spirit was overwhelmed by [18% brainwashing curse]!
“What.”
The quasar window that suddenly surfaced made my eyes widen.
“I did what you said, why is this happening!”
But before I could protest, the words in the attached bar changed.
< System > ~ main quest:The other side of the truth~
To undo the curse, go to [Ancient Rilla’s Tomb] and find [Mirror of Truth].
“What ……”
At that moment. Gulp.” Ah, miss!” The door to the room opened and two people entered.
“Ah, my god …… Miss, this is ……”
“Miss Iben!”
Emily and the maid. The scene in the room rendered the two speechless, and one of them ran towards Iben in shock.
Looking at the maid who suddenly lost her spirit and ran towards Iben, I clutched my forehead.
The scene of the “real maid” spitting blood and the “fake maid” standing proudly in front of him. If it’s one of the game’s stories, I’ll use today’s events as an opportunity to culminate in the torture of Iben’s evil daughter. Run! Run!”
Sirens went off in my head. I intuited. If I don’t run away now, something big will happen.
“Miss Iben! Miss! Please cheer up!”
Ignoring the weeping maid, I quickly walked over to the desk as if Iben was already dead. Always taking the key I carry with me quickly out of my arms, I deflated when I went around the desk to reach the front of the drawers. For the locked drawers had all been opened.
A horrible year. Luckily, no magical clutter other than shards were needed and didn’t disappear. I wolfed down what I needed from inside. It was a small gold master coin for emergencies and a magic bracelet for the hair wearer guy, and just turned it over for a split second.
Suddenly something flashed in the drawer. I reached back and took it out of the drawer. It was the magic scroll with a drawing of a map of ancient Malta given by the Crown Prince. …… Ancient Rilla’s Tomb.
Thinking of the main quest I immediately picked it up as well. In any case, it’s going to be shiny because there’s something to use. Stuffing them into my worn bag, I was about to leave the room. The maid who was whimpering while holding Iben ran in panic to stop me.
“What, what’s this for, miss!”
“Get out of the way.”
“Where are you going! Can’t get out of the way! I’ll tell the butler and the duke right away about this atrocity you’re committing…!”
Pang- The maid whose ugly face threatened me suddenly collapsed.
Clunk- The back of the maid who fell to the floor caught a glimpse of Emily who raised the stool.
“…… Emily.”
“Change into this and go, miss.”
Emily gave me something that was worn by the manservants who worked in the mansion.
“Why ……”
“You’ll get caught if you go dressed like that. I’ll take care of it here, don’t worry, go, go!”
She held the clothes out to me and Emily immediately dragged the fainting maid over to where Iben had fallen.
Sitting in a back-to-back position, she tore off the covers with clumsy gestures and began tying them up. Then realizing that I stood frozen, cried out.
“Get on with it, young lady! There’s no time left. Get on with it!”
“…Thank you, Emily.”
I spit out the words with great effort.
Honestly, I wasn’t a good host either. Emily was loyal to me, but always suspicious of her. So …… so really didn’t know this would help me.
Chest thumping. Would have done better, regrets coming.
“…… I’m sorry about this time.”
“No need to be sorry! I’m Miss’s full-time maid.”
Emily replied with her usual cheerful smile. Then with a wry expression she whispered as if to reassure me.
“Miss this makes us look like villains, doesn’t it? We’ve caught the real villain now!” She quoted me.
Face hot and blonde.” Thanks. I-I’m going out.”
Everything was scary, so scary, but I had to go.
Even if it was to save Emily from what was going to happen to Ibn again.
