The Endless Shuttle

The question is, why didn't Azalea answer when Nutz was there, at that time? He obviously talked to himself in the kingdom of Cthulhu. Or is it worse to be noticed by the ancient god who is only an incarnation than to be noticed by the real Cthulhu?

- I don't know.

Luo Pei shook his fingers, and the brown tea spilled out, soaking the back of the sofa.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened.

A black-haired gloomy boy walked in with a brown-black long-haired girl. It seemed to be some kind of hobby, and on the way back, he got another scarf that was almost the same and wrapped it around his neck, covering his mouth.

"It's so slow, I thought you were lost."

Putting down the teacup, Rope clasped his hands and asked Kesma and Senna with a smile.

"How is the situation of Miss Sena's parents? Is everything safe and sound?"

"Good luck. Her mother stayed in the room because of the order of the "King in Yellow" divine emblem, and passed out after being demonsterized by that angelic bastard, and she was not hurt. "

Kesma sat down next to Luo Pei and leaned on the sofa. Senna, on the other hand, stood there at a loss, with her head lowered.

Luo Pei saw that the girl's eyes were not as sharp as when they first met, presumably because her parents were safe and sound.

"What about the rest of the family?"

"I'm lying in the hospital." Kesma casually poured a cup of black tea for herself, pulled off the scarf, and savored it carefully.

"Her father was affected by the fighting, and a hand and a leg were smashed by flying stones. Her brother had lime in his eye, and he was going to be blind for the rest of his life. We made a detour to Arvos just for this. The city next door to the tower... tsk, but in general, they all survived."

"It's really good. It's the blessing of Goddess of Luck to be able to survive under such circumstances. Then let Liliana notify the Nordic Association and give them a sum of money to spend the rest of my life in style. It's perfect."

——The silver-haired elf is on his way.

Luo Pei turned his head and looked at Senna.

"And you, my lovely "nephew". You didn't choose to stay with your family for a while, but instead ran to the side of our two great devil kings. What do you think? "

"That..." Sena's eyes drifted, and then she said firmly as if she had made up her mind.

"I want to continue to learn secret arts from Master Kesma!"

Without power, nothing can be done. No one can protect.

Senna recognized this truth, and after experiencing the nightmare, she longed for her own power more than anyone else.

"That's it."

"Oh, I see."

Luo Pei responded casually, and then changed his gaze back to his double.

'What are you going to do next? ’ he asked in his mind. "The "Master-Apprentice Contract" has been signed. After you return, I will definitely be the one who will teach this girl. I can't justify not giving her an explanation, right? '

'Don't worry, we are best at acting, aren't we? '

'……Good for you. '

After Kesma drank half a cup of black tea, she put the white porcelain teacup on the table, and there was a crisp sound of the porcelain colliding.

He looked at Senna with that gloomy gaze, the girl was not afraid at all, what she had seen in Avosta had given her enough courage to face all situations.

After a while, Kesma spoke.

"Unfortunately, Senna, I'm afraid we can only stop here."

"?!"

Senna's eyes widened, she looked at Kesma in disbelief, and asked incoherently.

"Master, Master, are you going to give up on me? I..."

"Shut up, idiot." Interrupting Senna's words, Kesma said in a flat tone.

"To be honest, I don't regret doing those things at all. I am purely egoistic. As long as it is beneficial to "myself", I can do anything. "

"..."

"But it's two different things to do it and to be able to do it. Some things can't be done just by wishful thinking—such as hunting and killing gods." Kesma lowered her voice. "Maybe I hid it well, or do you not understand the mystery? In fact, I have already lost that battle."

"But... haven't you already killed the evil god Loki?" Sena asked in disbelief.

The Norse god of "fire" and "mischief", she witnessed the demise of that god with her own eyes.

"That's just an appearance. In fact, after I was reproduced by you, I was already in a state of exhaustion."

Kesma unbuttoned his jacket, exposing his chest.

In a cruel scene, the highly decomposed flesh is dying at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting fine black smoke, and even the white ribs can be seen.

Even Sena, a little girl who doesn't understand anything, can tell that her master's condition is quite bad.

"The excessive use of secret techniques and Loki's attack have already brought my body to the brink of collapse. It is entirely thanks to your uncle that I can sit here with you now. Are you right, Luo Pei?"

"Ah? Pfft... yes yes yes."

Luo Pei laughed out of time, but quickly put away his expression under Kesma's gloomy stare, and said seriously.

"Hey, his health is really failing. He will have to go to the God of Death to confine him for two or three days at most."

Fortunately, Sena didn't notice Luo Pei's expression, she was so shocked by the sudden news that she couldn't speak.

My own master—is dying?

That powerful, god-hunting, ruthless, devil-like master...

So what should she do? What should I do when I lose my goal?

Senna lowered her head in confusion.

While destroying, the devil opened a door for her to peek into the Garden of Eden in desperation. But now, before stepping into the Garden of Eden, the devil has no strength to continue to open the door, and is about to fall down in front of her eyes.

What is she who is left outside the door?

Continue to go back to my parents, squander the "compensation" given by my uncle, and live the rest of my life like a princess?

Sena is sure that she is absolutely unwilling to do that in her heart at the moment.

"However, the "Master-Apprentice Contract" has been signed, so it's really not good to let you go away like this. "

Kesma spoke the concluding words.
