Chapter 42

The Circumstances of a Trivial Villain (4)

If it was a vital hit, there would be no cure except to immediately put in divine power.

The only way was to quickly avoid it.

Because in the original story, Ian was also attacked.

Since black magic is illegal, the general public did not have much information about it.

A black energy rushed towards me from the managers hand.

It recognizes the stronger opponent.

I jumped up to avoid the black energy and wanted to hit the managers vital point to knock him out.

But when I looked behind my back, the black energy that I had once avoided was rushing at me again.Of course, that was expected.

It came back like a boomerang, so after Ian dodged it once, he was careless for a moment.

However, this black magic would disappear completely if you avoided it.

So if I just avoided the second one, it would be fine. But it was when I confidently tried to avoid it.

Sister!

Aaron blocked me, and he was hit with the black energy.

The black energy that flew in was absorbed into Aarons wielded hand.

Aaron!

Aaron stumbled on his knees, lost his balance, and collapsed.

I caught Aaron, who quickly collapsed with his head dazed.

Aaron?! Are you crazy?!

This was something I never expected.

So, Aaron had blocked the black magic attack on my behalf.

I had no idea that Aaron would get hurt instead of me.

The only brother I had been with until now was Reid, so I was thinking accordingly.

Oh my gosh

Aarons collapsed body itself had no sense of reality.

Never have I ever thought that someone would sacrifice themselves for me and get hurt.

I hadnt done anything right yet.

I was going to warn him that it was dangerous after going through this door, and that he should be nervous from now on.

He acted unpredictably, because I couldnt think like a normal person.

I couldnt even imagine that Aaron would intervene in my fight, so I didnt even warn him in advance.

Something similar happened before when I first met his family.

Just as I apologized to my younger brother for the right to inherit after 22 years, I did something against common sense again this time.

I grew up really weird. I didnt even know that he would save me from danger.

I had no time to grieve about my terrible growth background.

When I looked at Aarons body in a hurry, black energy was already spreading in the hand that shielded me.

This is black magic. You cant even treat it with your physical strength! Im stronger than you! Why?!

Well

Aaron replied with his eyes wide open even though his body was not properly tense.

For 20 years Did you ever live with your parents? Youll get to do that for the next 20 years.

My heart sank.

It reminded me of the sad expression my mother had.

You found your daughter who you thought was dead, but now youll lose your son?

What are you talking about? What do you mean?

I shook my head and said.

Ill save you unconditionally, so dont say anything like inheritance anymore.

I was going to go out and head to the temple right away.

If I imagined that Aaron would die like this, the world would be dark in front of me.

My real brother who, out of nowhere, carelessly followed me, even though it was a dangerous place, and even protected me from the black magic.

I had never received such unconditional sacrifices. I tried hard to give strength to my trembling hands.

Im going to save you somehow. Our family hasnt even eaten together yet.

I continued to talk, while holding him.

In return for today, I will

I was going to say that I would be really good to him for the rest of my life, but I thought I would burst into tears, so I hesitated.

Aaron continued in a sly voice.

Please peel the shrimp skin for me at all meals for the rest of my life. Ive always been too lazy to peel it myself.

The way he spoke was playful, but his voice was weak. I answered while holding back my tears.

Ill expand the scope to all crustaceans.

It was then.

I felt someone carefully approaching the secret passage we had passed by.

The manager, who was guarding the entrance, had already collapsed.

He must have been a very talented person, given that he could even use black magic and was guarding the entrance alone.

Whether it was a customer or an official, it would have been very tiring if they caught this scene.

It was when I carefully put down Aaron and pulled out my sword.

Ah.

A thin woman with brown hair hanging out opened her mouth slightly in surprise at me.

I also blinked at the unexpected appearance.

She was wearing a mask, but I was familiar with her presence.

The energy remained vividly in my memory not long after we met.

It was Cessianne who came after receiving a note to help the ones in need.

Cessiannes eyes quickly landed on the black magic wounds left in the hands of the collapsed manager and Aaron, who were lying in front of the entrance.

This is

She murmured, swallowing dry saliva.

Youre not here to buy slaves.

I nodded for now because it wasnt wrong.

Rather You fought with officials at the slave auction house

Since there was no need to say that we had no admission fee, there was no need to say that we were caught.

Instead, I hurriedly took off my mask in front of Cessianne.

Saint, do you remember me? Annabelle Nadit, who took the paternity test today No, its Rainfield.

Oh my! But Im wearing a mask. How did you recognize me?

Because I can roughly guess the aura of a person. But thats not whats important..

I hurried up to her.

My brother got hit by black magic here.

I pleadingly asked for help with teary eyes.

Is it possible to treat it with your power? Black magic has no conflicting power other than the divine power

Aaron was lying down helplessly.

At first, only his hands turned black, but in the meantime, black energy had spread up to his shoulders.

Please. We only just found out that we were siblings today

I might be ashamed because I had been defeated by Ian all the time, but Aaron faced black magic instead of me without hesitation.

I didnt have time to pay attention to the original work or whatever.

I only felt that I had to treat Aaron somehow.

If something went wrong, I didnt think I would really have the will to live.

Please, I owe you one after another

Dont worry. Dont worry. Ill try.

Cessianne smiled gently and nodded at once.

Then she grabbed Aarons hand, which had fallen right away.

Oh

The black marks on Aarons hand gradually began to disappear.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I was very anxious because I didnt know anything about black magic, but it was a relief to meet Cessianne like this.

After some time, she spoke while carefully looking at Aarons hand.

I think its done.

Watching Aaron slowly rise up, she opened her mouth with a worried look.

Are you feeling okay? Im done with the treatment

Yes, Im fine.

I tried to say thanks to Cessianne, but I hesitated because the atmosphere between the two seemed strange.

The two, who looked into each others eyes, looked slightly excited.

Oh Im sorry.

Cesianne was suddenly startled and released Aarons hand.

To cure I have to touch you Im sorry I didnt ask for permission.

Oh, no. Thank you very much.

No, thats what I was supposed to do.

It was time for her to notice and I was about to say thank you.

But Cessianne smiled innocently and continued.

And maybe I think I came here to save Aaron.

Huh?

I came here because I heard that someone who would stop the black magic might need help. I have good faith.

I couldnt help but open my mouth.

Saying to help those who can stop black magic That means Robert or Ian, not Aaron!

However, it was a situation that Cessianne could misunderstand.

People who did not come to buy slaves, traces of battles with the manager, and black magic to be cured

Ah

Aaron blinked his eyes and mumbled.

Then this is fate.

Maybe.

From my point of view, the conversation between the two was a great exchange.

They even made eye contact and smiled shyly once more and turned their heads slightly.

I felt something strange and quietly rolled my eyes.

But I couldnt even tell Cessianne, I actually know the one-sided orders youve been given, but were not the ones you were supposed to save.

Uh Well, my lady. Thank you very much.

In the end, I had no choice but to pretend not to notice and intervene between the two of them.

So, is Aaron completely fine now?

Yes. He is very lively.

Aaron jumped up and smiled.

I am in good shape.

Im glad.

I smiled awkwardly and put on the mask again.

Then he looked at Cessianne and said kindly.

Then shall we go in now? There is nothing good for other guests or officials to see this scene, so I think it would be better to mix with people quickly.

It was words that came out after a quick calculation.

In fact, even if other officials saw that one manager was down, it would be handled secretly so as not to ruin the business today.In the original story, Ian quietly knocked down one manager, and there was no commotion.

But the surveillance will be very severe.

Now was the time to never act carelessly.

I think we should just go inside.

Once we went inside with Cessianne, I could somehow send her towards Ian and Robert.

If the first-in-command, the male lead and female lead, do not save the world, then I, who was the second person, would have to save it.

At my words, Cessianne smiled and politely greeted me.

Ah, I see. Then I hope you achieve all your goals.

Huh? Arent you going to go in too?

Now that I have acted according to my good faith, I will return to the temple.
