Oh, my. The repayment of Pandoras owners favor did not end here.

After giving me snacks that would come out on the open market soon, he declared that he would also give me 10% of the profits that came from those same snacks.

He even handed me a note with the location of his residence on it, followed with.

- If theres anything you want or are looking for, please let me know and well visit you anytime. Please contact us often.

The owner of Pandoras famous store, who was always busy, would be bringing the goods himself.

Did the clerks freeze in disbelief over the unprecedented exceptional treatment?

I could see Geppel opening his mouth at the same time as I finished my recollection.

So, what is this favor you want from me? Geppel quickly asked.

When I first spoke to Geppel, I didnt elaborate on the request. He insisted on going to the store first.

In other words, that person said yes without even knowing what the favor in detail was.

I dont know if I should call it rash, frivolous, or should I say quite bold?

I had no intention of dragging down the conversation, so I decided to get to the point immediately.

Let me use the second library.

Yes, library What? Books?

He looked startled by the favor.

Did you think I would ask for something bigger?

Well, considering Geppels ability, he may have thought I would require a great healing power from him.

Geppel kept the silence going for a few minutes, then he requested further explanation.

I responded simply. There are books I want to find in the library.

The book I want to find Yes! Yes, I got it. Ill give you permission.

Huh? I blinked my eyes in surprise.

Was this something you couldve allowed so easily?

The temples main documents must be there.

After reading the expressionless look on my face, Geppel coughed in vain.

In principle, its tricky and difficult, but Im keeping my words since I promised you.

What? Did you fell so hard over snacks?

Then Ill write down the permit later today, so you can use the library anytime. On another note, I have a personal question, what are you looking for there?

I stared at him slowly at Geppels question, and he added.

Furthermore, since its a personal question, you dont have to answer it, but after spending some time with you, you dont seem like a fool that would fall for a man like Doman Woodhill.

It was simple, I was not Riddel Spencer.

I replied with a grin at his benevolent speech. They say that love blurs a persons judgment. Thats why people who fall in love often become fools or make mistakes. You can think of me as similar to them.

I sighed carefully so that it didnt feel like I recited a script from a play before I spoke.

But maybe Ill make the same mistake again.

In short, it was a mistake to love Doman. But what youre saying is that you could repeat the stupid mistake of loving him again and again, right?

As expected, Geppel understood exactly what I was saying. He tilted his head as if he didnt understand, but I couldnt help it.

When Riddel returned to her body, she would want to seek him out first.

Then it may seem to others that Riddel has fallen for Doman again.

Just in case the original Riddel returns, I had to say something without any sense of contention.

I cut the conversation short before Geppel could ask me anything else.

Dont ask me why I repeat such foolish mistakes. Theres no rationality in matters of love.

Geppel, who understood my intention not to purse the interrogation further, quickly added. Im sorry to hear that.

However, he nodded as if he was convinced.

Okay, I wont ask you if you want. So? Library?

I want to go to the library and search for books about curses.

Curses?

He took a moment to ask back. When he opened his eyes wide to see if anything had changed, he quickly queried.

Youre not trying to break Kyles curse, are you?

Yes, it was exactly what I was trying to do.

He shook his head as I smiled with all my radiant positivity.

Its impossible. His curse cant be solved.

Why are you so determined? Why are you so sure?

Its not a curse that can be broken at this level. Even a genius cant solve it. Its impossible to cleanse the body at this point. So, give up now. Dont try to do useless things.

Curse usually contained black magic. Therefore, it was possible for the faithful to get rid of the curse by using a purification ability.

Hence, if it was really impossible for Geppel, who had the best credibility on the continent, he didnt mention it lightly.

However

What if you dont release the curse, what if Kyle dies?

It wasnt something that came out unintentionally. As for me, I pretended to be calm while hiding my cautiousness.

It was because Geppel decided that he could say it.

I thought he didnt hate Kyle.

No, rather.

Geppel was fond of Kyle.

You could tell by his attitude and eyes.

Perhaps it was just a feeling of comradeship for Kyle that developed from going through the war together.

And this guy there thinks Im unique.

You can say this, but it wont.

The response was highly predictable, but maybe we can get new information.

After a while, as expected, Geppel raised his nose in the air and asked me.

Riddel Spencer. Dont you know who I am?

Of course, I do.

Geppel was the High Priest and the master of treatment that has turned the existing medical community upside down.

But you know what youre saying?

It was natural for Geppel to be amazing. It was like a top-notch doctor suddenly showed up in front of a medical doctor and said your treatment was wrong.

Ha, Ive been too lazy to write a paper these days.

Geppel, muttering like a self, looked at me and recited.

Ill cut it short. Kyles curse and death are irrelevant, and what youre saying is just a probability. In that sense, everyone has the chance of dying.

Geppel was kind enough to answer me one by one.

But what if

For the first time, he put his foot down.

If thats true and you can prove it, Ill help you as much as I can.

It was quite a heavy remark.

Proof

I agonized for a moment. In fact, it was nothing to worry about. This was a golden opportunity for my help force to increase.

My thoughts were organized, and I took a chance.

High Priest.

Im not sure what you are doing? Just call me Geppel.

Yes, Geppel. Arent you wondering how I found your secret space and the location of Pandoras store?

What an honest man he is.

I explained the situation without delay. In the same vein as I did to Sejan. Geppel, who listened to my story for a while, blinked in confusion.

So you have the ability to dream about the past and the future. And thats how you found me? Oh, thats a ridiculous ability.

Geppel stopped talking to reinforce the impression that he couldnt believe me. The results of me saying such things were difficult for him to understand, it was different from Kyles case.

Perhaps the idea was too hard to comprehend for Geppel as he was rubbing his forehead, said again.

Yes, if that ability is true as you say, how can you tell me this easily? What if I tell someone else about it?

Im not worried about that. Youre someone who has their own beliefs and doesnt go anywhere to talk about it.

When I dismissed his provocation in a few simple words, he burst into a grin.

Youve youve figured me out in a very short time

It was because you were as simple as I had ever made among the characters I created.

Geppel continued to speak.

Ill take your word for now. But its a little too bad to relate Kyles curse to his death. What should I say? I dont have anything definitive about the subject.

Well, this was a bit cheap, but I understood.

The ability to dream was a rare ability that had never been seen in the Empire. A certain amount of doubt was reasonable.

As I nodded as if I understood his doubts, Geppel slightly changed the subject.

By the way, you dont have much luck with men.

I just laughed. I didnt really have anything to say.

While one of them was a playboy, the other was a cursed dragon. As far as I was concerned, I didnt create this character to be blessed with men.

So, Riddel Spencer. Youre gonna

Knock, knock.

Just as Geppel was going to continue, someone knocked on the office doors.

Who is it? Didnt you hear I was talking to someone?

A moment of silence came when Geppel uttered an irritating voice to the person outside the door.

Well, thats I know it, but its urgent

The man outside seemed to have stumbled on his way, but the urgency in his voice could still be heard.

Geppels expression became serious at once, as if he could feel something intuitively in that tone.

Geppel stood up and asked the question. Do you have to go back?
