100CIM - Chapter 61


They are coming. The servants who left the mansion are returning.

Why does she feel so uneasy when the employees who left are coming back?

‘...Because the curse hasn’t been resolved.’

Louis was also anxious, as Simone had already drawn her sword and pointed it outside without her even asking her to do so.

Orkan asked, slightly lifting his hand from the wall.

“...What should I do? Can I open the door?”

Simone nodded, staring at the empty hallway.

“Please open it.”

It was still quiet inside the mansion. If something happened, she wouldn't be able to open the door in this peaceful atmosphere, so she had to open it and look inside while she could.

“Okay, open it. Lu... Wren, sorry, but please watch over me while I open the door.”

“Yes, I understand. Simone, please follow me. Go to Orkan’s side.”

Simone went to Orkan's side as Louis had instructed.

As soon as Orkan opened the door, she was thinking of going inside. Orkan started quietly reciting a spell.

Simone watched the hallway, listening to his order. She stayed tense for a while.

Thump- thump- thump- thump-

A lot of footsteps were heard.

“Shall we go out and see?”

Simone shook her head at Louis' question.

“Let’s first see what they’re all gathered for.”

Anyway, Abel and Bianchi will follow the servants and come running here, and if they react aggressively, all she has to do is ask Orkan and Louis to put them to sleep.

Even if she goes up and meets the servants, it seems too late to stop or deal with the large number of servants who are coming here with the same momentum as when they broke down the inn door.

“...I’ll hurry up a little bit.”

Orkan's mana started to feel a little stronger. And-

Thump- thump-

Turbuck-

In the distance, servants began to appear, filling the dark hallway.

The Lord Osasanisasao has descended and said, “Why are you so sad? I will accept your price and grant your wishes. Tell me everything.”

They all said the same thing in unison as if they were singing in a chorus.

May I really tell you everything? May I, a lowly person, expose all my wickedness and kill myself tonight? The Lord said to me, “How can I refuse your request? My beloved children, do as you wish, and I will fulfill it.

Simone listened quietly to their words. The words coming out of the servants' mouths reminded her of passages from the Bible.

'Of course, the God they speak of is an evil God.'

Is this a conversation that took place between Osasanisasaao and them? Or is it a song of praise for Osasanisasaao?

Then, my children, who has tormented you? I will punish that person and make him repent, and make him another of my children. You, serve and follow me. Spread my words throughout the world. When my glory soars to the heavens and stands against the throne of the God of Creator, salvation will come to you too.

“Don't listen to that.”

Simone spoke urgently and grabbed Louis' arm, who was aiming his sword, and pulled him towards Orkan.

'Oh, I see.'

I see. I see for sure. 

That is not what happened on the day this curse began, but what Osasanisasao says when he lures people into becoming his followers.

The God of vengeance takes a price in exchange for taking revenge. However, the part about 'price' was cleverly changed to 'I will take your revenge, so you can praise me as you wish', thereby deluding the people without any sense of caution.

And by asking questions, he would have created another believer.

Simone glanced at Louis.

'But why is Louis okay?'

Louis didn't answer the question either, so he was in the same situation as the other servants.

'And why is Osasanisasaos so obsessed with the number of believers?'

Does it mean that, if he gains strength through the prayers of believers, he can rise to a position where he can stand against the God of the Creator?

There is no need to listen anymore. If you listen, you will only be deceived by the evil spirit.

“Is the door open yet?”

“It’s almost done.”

Simone watched the servants walking slowly forward warily, waiting for Orkan to open the door.

That moment.

What Osasanisasao said is right. How could I live apart from your embrace? Since Osasanisasao said he would abandon me tonight, I have no choice but to cry and fall to my death...?

The servants who had been approaching in line without a single wave of movement suddenly began to murmur. And then, in the midst of all this, Abel and Bianchi, who were really annoyed, appeared.

“Ah! I found it!”

“Oh, it’s really so hard to find.”

Abel and Bianchi spotted the three and quickly ran over to join them.

Wow, why am I so happy?

Simone breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it.

“For now, let’s watch those people. Don’t attack them. If the situation gets serious, put them to sleep or knock them out. That’s all I ask of you. They are irreplaceable and precious people in this mansion, so please don’t hurt them, even if it’s a hassle.”

Abel nodded at the servants.

“That’s not that difficult, but what are we going to do after that door opens?”

“That’s right, pretty lady. What if what you’re looking for isn’t inside that door?”

Simone looked gloomy.

“There aren’t many choices.”

First, if there is an evil spirit when she opens this door, it will watch the interaction with the servants and immediately banish it.

Second, if there is no evil spirit, leave the servants here, seal the underground corridor, and ask Abel and his group to keep them from committing suicide. Then, Simone and Louis go out to find Osasanisasao again.

She really hoped to finish first.

Abel looked very displeased at Simone's answer.

“I understand the plan, but my question is, is it feasible?”

Simone looked at Abel without saying a word.

In other words, he kept saying that if she just met the evil spirits and defeated them, the problem could be solved, but he was asking if Simone really had the power to solve this situation.

Of course, Abel also noticed that Simone had an extraordinary ability. A sinister mana that was completely different from others. Isn't that why Abel is so wary of Simone?

However, he still had not figured out what her power was, and above all, having a large amount of mana in her body and handling it well were separate issues.

Is that young lady, who is protected by Louis, really capable of resolving this situation? Isn't it because she lacks the ability that she hired Louis to handle the matter?

In fact, Abel had never seen Simone use her powers directly before.

Everyone was focused on Simone and waiting for her answer. Unable to bear this, Louis tried to block Simone and Abel, but Simone raised her hand to stop him.

And the moment she was about to say something to Abel.

Crunch! Creak!

“The door was opened.”

The door that had been hidden and tightly shut was opened by the mana of light.

Simone stopped what she was about to say, turned around, and looked through the door.

Then he stopped, stopped in surprise, and soon smiled.

"There is."

A body possessed by an evil spirit. A servant, who appears to be a servant, is kneeling in the middle of the room in a praying posture. Dark energy is piercing through her body, creating a large aura and rising into the air.

Anyone can see that he is an evil spirit. With such an evil energy flowing out of him, he would not have been able to hide his body even if he tried. That is why he would not go around and personally guide the believers but would have stayed in this room.

Orkan frowned and took a step back.

“What an incredible... energy. You shouldn’t touch it carelessly. Even if he's a God who hasn’t received an invitation from heaven, he's still a God.”

Orkan, Louis, Bianchi, and even Abel, who was used to dealing with strong opponents, were wary of the servant who gave off an intimidating aura and aimed their weapons.

Behind them, servants are approaching, and in front of them is an evil spirit that looks like it came out of an ancient book.

A tense silence. The one who broke it was Simone.

Crack- Crack- Crack- Crack-

The sound of Simone's shoes echoed clearly through the hallway.

She was walking slowly towards the evil spirit.

“Wh, what! It’s dangerous!”

“Miss, don’t do that without a weapon. You don’t have to be stubborn because of Abel’s words. It’s dangerous.”

“...”

Orjan and Bianchi shouted in a hurry, while Abel just looked at her silently as if to say, "Let's see what you can do."

Louis followed Simone into the room as a matter of course but put the sword he was holding back into its scabbard.

What on earth are they doing? 

Abel and his group watched them anxiously.

I meet you, Osasanisasaosao!!!!!

The servants who had been walking slowly suddenly started running towards them.

Then they passed Abel and his party and knelt before the evil spirit.

“Osasanisasao, we beseech you, please look down on us and let us live forever seeking revenge. Can we commit suicide tonight?”

“Oh, my goodness!!!”

“Oh my goodness, please don’t abandon me!!!!”

And then they started to cry out to the evil spirit like crazy, begging for their life. Then, the evil spirit, who had been sitting there for a long time, finally sat up and raised his head.

I will save you

She was smiling brightly with a lifeless face.
