Chapter 33 I laughed at the ridiculous remark. “You only had us write our names because it was necessary to obtain the token. Do you really think that makes us believers? We should discard those records.” Aiden also stepped in. “I think you should do as Lady Hedesson says.” Chief Priest Geyond took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Th-that may sound simple, but those are magical documents. The magic disappears if they’re torn,…-

Chapter 32 When we returned to the Desolate Forest Monastery, Chief Priest Geyond opened his eyes wide. “Wait, why are the two of you here? Didn’t you go to retrieve the token?” I was momentarily speechless, unable to understand why he was asking something so obvious. Then Chief Priest Geyond looked us over and asked again. “Could it be… you already retrieved the token?” Ah, I understood. It seemed he was surprised because we had returned much sooner than expected. “That…

Chapter 31 “Give me the rope.” I handed Aiden the bundle of rope that had been in my backpack. He fastened the rope around his waist and placed one foot against the wall of the well. Seeing that he seemed intent on climbing up just like that, I asked cautiously. “Is it safe?” “The components holding the pulley in place are somewhat loose. It seems it could break while we’re climbing.” “What?” I estimated the height of the well. It looked to be more than ten meters deep.…

Chapter 30 Aiden spoke to me like he was the most handsome man in the world. “I like you, Lady Hedesson.” “!” My goodness. It felt like both my cheeks were on fire. It was surely just a spur-of-the-moment confession he had made to obtain the token. And yet my heart was pounding wildly with excitement, completely beyond my control. Calm down, Theodora! This is just part of the setup! Aiden is only following the setup to obtain the token! While I bit my lips tightly, trying…

Chapter 29 The smoke began to creep over Aiden’s left arm, darkening it with black patches. Then, around his shoulder, it started to writhe violently. It seemed unable to spread any farther, as though something were blocking it. “Oh dear. It’s controlling the body.” Aiden’s expression changed slightly as his left arm began to tremble. “Meow!” Fat Cat clung to Aiden’s left arm. The black smoke surrounding Fat Cat also transferred onto Aiden’s left arm. Soon, Fat Cat landed…

Chapter 28 Just thinking about it made Aiden's heart tremble. This was the right answer. It was an excellent solution. However, carrying her and jumping down in a zigzag pattern would obviously be uncomfortable for her. So Aiden had thought of using high-level magic instead. “If that's the problem, don't worry. I can use it.” There was no problem with descending. Except that Aiden's heart kept pounding because of Theodora's scent and the sensation of her body as she clung tightly to…

Chapter 26 High Priest Faker handed each of us a lamp. “As I mentioned earlier, there should be an entrance after you descend for approximately three hours. It is a spiral staircase, but there are no safety measures to prevent falls. Please be very careful as you descend.” We accepted the lamps and started down the stairs. The straight staircase continued downward for about twice an adult's height before changing into a spiral staircase. Then, the entrance above us slowly closed. Soon,…

Chapter 25 “Yes. It is because you are being purified. However, I suppose it must be a rather unfamiliar sight to someone seeing it for the first time.” Was it my imagination, or did I see his eyebrows tremble ever so slightly? He quickly continued speaking as though nothing had happened. “I heard that there is an important task you must accomplish here. I was also told that this ritual is absolutely necessary in order to carry it out.” Chief Priest Geyond spoke politely. “You…

Chapter 24 Hamjjik nodded vigorously. The hummingbird, on the other hand, tilted its head. ‘Wouldn't making them cold and forcing them to get closer actually make their relationship better?’ But it didn't have a chance to say that. Hamjjik was too busy pacing back and forth and lamenting. The fat cat tilted its head too. Hamjjik froze like a stone statue. Seeing him remain completely motionless, the hummingbird and fat cat also fell silent. Soon, however,…
