Chapter 97: Wildflower [2]

"Can he really do it, Wesley?"

"I don't know," Wesley replied. "But if he can't, I've already sent a request. This time, they responded."

In the mansion's living room, two servants sat discussing the situation. Wesley, the head servant, and another staff member.

"Now? They should've sent reinforcements earlier! Why wait until we report there's a demon in Mori Forest?"

Wesley sighed. "It is what it is. I don't know what His Majesty is thinking, but they're finally sending people to clear out the demons."

With an Archdemon lurking, it was likely there were more demons hiding in the forest.

He glanced around, suddenly remembering something. "By the way, where's Aaron? I haven't seen him since this afternoon."

"He said he's resting in his room."

"Really? That's a shame. He could've assisted the professor."

Aaron was the most skilled in magic among the staff. If anyone could have assisted the professor, it was him.

Just then, the front door burst open, and another servant rushed in.

"Wesley, it's here!"

Both servants turned to him.

"The comet! It's finally here!"

Bang!

——What's wrong, Eun-woo? Why are you staring at me like that?

"....Shut up."

Swoosh——!

——What? I told you not to look at me like that. You ungrateful child. I took you and your sister in when no one else wanted you.

"Shut up…."

——You look just like Oppa when you glare at me like that.

"Ah."

The memory hit him like a tidal wave, one he had buried deep within his thoughts. He had forgotten why he couldn't just leave his aunt behind.

Of all the negative emotions he harbored toward his aunt, there was one that seemed out of place.

Pity.

He had felt pity for her.

She could have been lying, but if it was true…. the cycle of abuse never really ended.

——That worthless brother of mine, taking his frustrations out on me. I have no reason to take in his shitty kids, you know? You should be grateful!

"Because of the money my parents left behind."

——Talking back, you brat?!

———!

An explosion rocked the ground as Vanitas collided with the Archdemon.
