The atmosphere is killing me.

It was a restaurant with a slightly old-fashioned atmosphere and a classic architecture, but nonetheless it was not obscene at all.

I’ve been to a Korean restaurant with a similar atmosphere before, but it feels unique because of the difference in worldview.

“Whahahaha-!”

Nevertheless, the inside of the restaurant was noisy.

Basically, the restaurants nearby are places where citizens who enjoy festivals come in and enjoy.

It’s nothing like a pub.

“Deron, are you here?”

“why.”

“No, because the atmosphere of the restaurant is strange.”

Erina, who was born aristocrats, cannot adapt to this noisy atmosphere.

Agnes and Han looked casual, but it might be a little shocking to Erina, who grew up in the countess.

In fact, the staff looked a little embarrassed when we entered, who looked young. Looking at us rather than just ugly men, it’s worth it.

Even for a moment, the staff quickly managed to look.

Obviously, if you work for a long time in a place like this, a poker face is installed as standard.

After checking the number of people, a staff member approached us and escorted us to our seats.

I brushed off any dust on the seat and sat down cautiously.

“How would you like to place an order?”

We look around each other at the staff’s questions.

It seems like everyone has never ordered from a restaurant like this.

“Uh… .”

Agnes and Erina stared at the menu board, but it seems difficult to make a decision.

‘Because I’ve never heard of food.’

The Spring Festival is, after all, an event for the people of the Empire. Although it was dismantled by Morax.

It is a festival held regularly to enjoy the New Year with warm energy. Food also consists mainly of what citizens eat.

Agnes and Erina, the nobles who used to live as counts or viscounts, are still unfamiliar with the food of commoners.

However, to ask a commoner, Han, to make food for him, he was also a man who lived in the mountains.

This means that even if you eat common people’s food, you cannot know exactly what the capital is.

“I should order.”

I couldn’t see it, so I picked up the menu the two of them had been checking. Agnes and Erina handed the menu to me without any resistance.

However, just in case, I came to a restaurant that looked a little nice. good choice

I quickly flipped through the menu, checking to see if there was any food I knew.

Became an academy warrior.

This work basically employs a lot of Earth’s food.

Most of the special products from the spring festival are foods or tools that you see often before possessing.

This restaurant is no different.

Bulgogi and hotpot are easy to find in Korean restaurants.

However, there are foods that the artist created like a different world. Animals that only grow in this world. The meat described has the taste of beef tenderloin and chicken legs.

“Fivoret meat and 4 glasses of ade.”

“Fivore can be a little odd, would you mind? If this is your first time…”

“it’s okay.”

Because it was good in the original.

The employee tried to add something more, but then shut his mouth and bowed his head to understand.

As soon as he got out, I leaned over in the chair and drooled.

I’m tired.

The festival was fun, but I definitely feel like I’m losing strength because I move a lot.

Even without using the aura, the mana flowing through the body is consumed to maintain the body’s balance. Instead of bleeding, mana will decrease.

Should this be considered better?

“Deron.”

As I took a deep breath, Erina looked at me.

“why.”

“that… it’s okay?”

Are you asking what’s okay?

He tilted his head and looked at her.

“Ruberick… This is dead.”

“ah… … .”

was that what you were talking about?

Erina turned her gaze away, restless even after she asked her question.

“No, no, you don’t have to answer. I asked a question.”

“it’s okay.”

“uh?”

“I’m fine.”

Erina’s eyes widened slightly. Agnes and Hando, who were next to me pretending not to know, turned their gazes to me.

“really?”

“Yeah, it’s been a few weeks.”

It is understandable that Erina asked such a question. Because she still couldn’t escape the first murder.

Her expression catches my eye.

The ferocious flames that were always contained in his red hair and eyes are gone, and a chilling void is set in place.

In killing living things, she’s traumatized.

That’s why Erina pretends to be brighter. As usual, he swung his sword cheerfully and passionately.

Sweat and calluses on her hands were sealing her wounds.

In fact, Fivore meat is also food for her.

This is the meat that Erina ate most often even in the original story.

“To be honest, I can’t say I’m completely fine.”

After waking up, the first place he went after escaping the hospital was the place where Ruberic and Morax died at the same time.

Ruberic said he made a contract with the demons, but unlike the original, he didn’t do any damage.

Besides, the last line.

‘Clearly, he wondered why he made a contract with the demons.’

In the original story, he was jealous of Lee Han, and the contract was signed out of jealousy.

There was a clear reason for that. In fact, when I met Lee Han, Ruberic spit out lines full of inferiority complex.

However, it was different in front of me.

It was imperfect and questioned its existence.

As if the assigned role had disappeared.

nevertheless. The facts do not change.

Morax was definitely a demon, but Ruberic was a human.

“Obviously it was the demons I killed, but there must have been Ruberic in them too.”

It was the first murder. It was the first experience that was terribly dull, which was not very exciting for me.

I wondered if it would be strange if he went to the place where he died.

“My heart still stings when I think of Ruberic.”

There was a sign prohibiting entry to the place where Aksius’ Mana and Morax swept around.

Beyond that, I could see a little bit of blood and ruins.

“But, time has passed. I can’t stay in that place.”

I wasn’t there. It had already been out. Ruberic tried to get out of my mind without occupying even a corner of my mind.

I put such ruberic in the back of my mind.

“right… Because Ruberic was a demon contractor.”

“That doesn’t mean I’m going to forget Ruberick. It doesn’t change the fact that I killed him.”

to remember.

In order not to forget.

In order to remain human, I need to remember the person I killed.

Even though he was the villain I saw in the printing press, now he has blood vessels, his heart beats, and he feels emotions.

Ruberic Keias.

In this horribly heartless feeling, I remember you.

So I’m still human.

A person who fears murder, does not become blunt, and suffers.

Somehow, my heart was pounding. Is it because I said something that didn’t fit my aptitude?

“I’m happy though.”

Agnes heard everything I said and opened her mouth.

“I have heard from a professor before that the first murder is very psychologically painful. Even if it’s not a human, but a monster. He said the feeling of cutting his skin was terrifying.”

“there… Agnes? Which professor did that?”

“Professor Arcdin told me.”

In response to Erina’s question, Agnes said calmly.

I don’t usually say things like that lightly. Agnes… .

“It’s good that you look fine in that respect.”

“me too!”

“Now you can feel free to apply for a match.”

“yes?”

Along with Erina’s doubts, she uttered terrifying words.

“Fivoret meat is here.”

The scent of Fivore meat stimulated everyone’s eyes.

I was also fascinated by the scent and turned my eyes away.

“You can cut it with this knife and share it. Have a nice meal.”

The staff smiled for service, put the meat on the table and disappeared.

Everyone looked into each other’s eyes and exchanged glances.

Then, one by one, they pick up the prepared knives.

“Shall we eat first?”

Starting with Erina’s knife, there were numerous wounds on the Fivore meat.

The ade was also delicious, but the enchanting taste of the Fivore meat… … It seemed to throw away all the meat I had eaten so far.

**

little by little, little by little.

The sound of a knife hitting a plate. The sound of a fork steaming meat. The sound of careful eating fills the table.

Erina was one of them.

The meat called Fivore that is served before your eyes fascinates people more than any other dish eaten by the Count.

It is juicy and bursts out with every bite, and its flavor is incomparable to that of the Count’s meat.

‘It’s so delicious!’

Erina screamed inwardly. The meat was so delicious, but it seemed that I couldn’t even scream in a place like this.

She glanced ahead, slicing the Fivore meat.

Under the dim light used in the restaurant, Deron put the Fivore meat in his mouth carefully so as not to get the seasoning on it.

He flicked his hair lightly, then cut the meat.

It’s not the first time I’ve eaten this type of food.

Even if she glanced at Deron, she immediately turned her gaze away.

I’ve been told that if a person has a beautiful appearance, they look good no matter what they do.

Deron was just that.

Even the moment he eats meat with his mouth open, he doesn’t fall for the models in magazines sometimes published by newspapers.

She rolled her eyes, thinking that she couldn’t eat the meat she kept staring at and would only watch.

Still, I remember the side he showed me a while ago.

The person who killed and suffered the first time.

A person who nevertheless wants to remember the first murder. A man who is not cowardly who does not want to forget his guilt by doing so.

… … Somehow, I felt that the taste of the meat was lacking.

She stopped thinking about Deron and focused on meat.

Still, the word ‘cowardly Erina’ does not escape from the corner of her head.

In many ways, it was complicated.

Maybe that’s why Erina couldn’t confirm that the red ring on her middle finger flashed on and off by itself.
