Chapter 4: 4

1. I Will Refrain From the Death Penalty

Episode 4

I quickly pressed down on complaints, and I looked at Leniel with a harmless look as much as possible. Seeing that he escaped prison so easily, Leniel’s skills are undoubtedly excellent. So I still deserved to look good to him.

I have to live first.

“It’s fate that we met like this. Can you accompany me a little longer?”

“Why me?”

I didn’t give in to the harsh response. This was because I felt a vague interest in Leniel’s face, standing with his arms folded and staring at me indifferently.

Isn’t he crazy to break out of prison for me being “interesting” to him in the first place? If he can continue his interest, of course, I will be able to win his kindness a little once or twice more.

“As you know, I don’t have a house, I don’t have money, and I’m completely broke.”

“And?”

“I’m shameless, but since you’ve helped me, even if it’s an enemy ship…”

“I don’t move without a price.”

You kept your promise to help me escape, so if you want more help than that, do you want me to suggest anything?

“What can you do for me if I help you this time?”

I briefly fumbled over the original content in my memory.

By the time she was imprisoned and poisoned, there was nothing left for Giselle Roycevin. All of her family were dead, and the money and power of the Roycevin family, which had been wielded as nothing, were reconciled with dust, and people were stuck in a pit and could not be found.

As soon as she was imprisoned, there was lined up with assassins, but seeing that no one came to visit her, I could see that there were no people who supported her.

The original author destroyed Giselle really thoroughly. I was a reader, and I clapped my hands, saying, “this is the destruction of a villainess…”.

I was biting my lips, and I heard a loud noise from afar. It was like the sound of a soldier bumping into each other and someone’s husky cry.

‘Is there already a search party?’

Leniel muttered with low exclamations as if he thought the same thing as me.

“Come to think of it, waiting for you to get a reward and handing it over again…”

“I can give you information!”

Leniel, who was staring over the alley with a glare, glanced at me.

“It’s a lot of information that can be promoted very quickly at work.”

I was in a hurry, but it was plausible after I said it out loud.

Isn’t information a useful weapon anytime, anywhere? If I had the power to have it here, I would know the contents of the original work! The original work is like a prophecy here!

“I heard you belong to Dark Cloud.”

After finishing the calculation in my head to some extent, I proudly raised my hand.

“I know the future of some very important people. For example, like your boss.”

“…What?”

There was distrust in the facial expression of Leniel.

“Because… I drank so much poison that I gained a mysterious power. Hahaha!”

It’s a world with magic, so wouldn’t this be allowed?

Honestly, even if he didn’t believe it, it was okay because it was true that I knew the original work. I can let you know a few cases in advance and prove that I’m right. With this information, I could survive even if I traded with the main character. I might be revered as a seer!

“I haven’t heard that drinking poison will give you magic.”

“Of course, it’s not magic! It’s like a spirit!”

“Spirit…”

Leniel finally began to see me as a crazy girl.

Is that not a concept in this world? Would the word trust be easier to understand? After making a mistake late, I soon changed my mind.

What do you mean by trust? It would be fortunate if I didn’t get burned for blasphemy if I, who had already been ruled a witch and waited for hanging, talked about receiving trust.

“Well, so thanks to my mysterious existence, you get to know more diverse information than others.”

Technically, my soul itself could be said to be a mysterious existence in this world. So I wasn’t lying right now. I’m the only one in the world who knows how the story will go.

Leniel, who was listening to my active explanation, narrowed his eyes. In the meantime, I had the illusion that the sound of the soldier’s footsteps were getting closer.

What if I run into the soldiers? If it’s Leniel, he could run away alone, but I couldn’t run away from the soldiers without his help.

I secretly grabbed the end of Leniel’s clothes with my fingertips in case he abandoned me and went away alone.

“Giselle Roycevin attempted forbidden magic just before her arrest.”

Leniel, who was lost in thought, suddenly brought up some absurd words. I looked up at him, puzzled.

“What?”

“She tried to gain strength by offering a black wizard who was working with her as a sacrifice.”

Isn’t that a crazy woman? The black wizard was the only helper left by her side and she offered him as a sacrifice?

It was said that he struggled for the last time in the original, but I didn’t know it would be like this.

“There are rules in black magic, and there are rules between black magicians.”

Leniel clicked his tongue, revealing the feeling of annoyance.

With his brow furrowed and his eyes lowered, the sight of him brushing his bangs up with his hand and clicking his tongue was truly a dazzling sight, to the extent that I couldn’t hear the soldiers for a moment and looked up at him blankly.

“I went to the prison to find out what happened to the guy who was stupidly fooled by Giselle Roycevin and died. I also had to check if her experiment was successful. If it succeeded, I would have to collect it and study it.”

But why are you suddenly explaining this?

“Don’t you want to know what she tried to do?”

It is strange to ask me, “Giselle Roycevin”,  while speaking to me as if he knew I was not her.

I gently let go of his shirt I was holding onto in a creeping ominous feeling. There must be at least one other person besides Leniel who can help me in this vast country.

But as soon as I let go, Leniel grabbed my hand with his own. His hands, holding mine as he interlocked our fingers, were surprisingly large and rough. Holding my hand with an irresistibly strong force, he lowered his voice.

“Destruction of a Star.”

“…Destruction of a Star.”

As I inadvertently copied his words, he smiled with his eyes.

“She tried to summon a being outside of this world to use that power. However, it has been under-researched, and since it was an incomplete spell, the risk of being eaten by the summoned one was high.”

Then, I was summoned by Giselle Roycevin? Oh my god. You should’ve picked the right one. How could you choose an office worker who got fat from overtime? Giselle…

“So if she succeeded, wouldn’t I definitely have to research it?”

What do you mean a study by a black wizard? The scene of an unauthorized doctor dissecting a live person with a bloody scalpel and smiling automatically came to mind. I have a reasonable doubt that it will be very similar.

“So, who are you?”

“What?”

Sigh.

“Who can have such information?”

“Who am I? Of course I’m Giselle. Giselle Roycevin.”

I am screwed.

“Ah, I was told to make a deal with information.”

I only heard a lively voice, and he seemed to be exchanging some kind of joke. I desperately tried to pull my hand out, but it was only painful because of the tightly wrapped knuckles of my fingers. I felt sweat dripping down my palms.

“Do we have a deal? If it’s not a deal, do you think I won’t find anything out from you?”

No. I think you’ll figure it out pretty well.

“Are you curious what the prison built by the wizards looks like?”

Not at all. Not at all.

Unlike me, who had lost my smile, Leniel had a sweet smile all this time. But I was no longer mesmerized by his appearance.

It was natural, as there was a search party with a menacing weapon behind me, and a wizard like a colorful viper in front, aiming for my life.

‘Maybe I will be dissected alive.’

Is this the end? What happens when I die? Will I go back to my original body? But my last memory was of getting into a car accident, so am I still alive? What if I return home and are lying in the hospital or suffering from the aftereffects of a car accident? In that case, I’d rather not go back…

“…I love my body very much.”

Since then, I have been a healthy little citizen who has been taking multivitamins and red ginseng sticks from time to time when working overtime.

On the weekends, I made minimal effort to exercise by using the local sports center or running in the park. In addition to the basic check-up every year, I spent a lot of money to get additional health check-ups.

The pain was just disgusting. Really.

“Therefore?”

“Even if you don’t threaten me, I’ll cooperate well, can’t we go in a good mood?”

“Certainly not Giselle Roycevin. If it had been her, she wouldn’t have been so sarcastic.”

What’s the use of being sullen, now I don’t look like I’m going to die gracefully.

“You threatened to torture me just now.”

“Yes.”

Torture done by a wizard. Considering the notoriety of the wizards in the original work, the torture is also understandable. I never wanted to experience it. Of course, I don’t even want to be a research subject!

“I like myself to be intact when I’m dead.”

“Why would I kill you when I know you have important information?”

“I think it doesn’t really matter now.”

“I will listen to it first and then decide the importance.”

“I’ll just let you know, so let’s settle this peacefully.”

“But how can I trust you?”

Then what?
