Everything happened quickly.
Abel and Louis cut down all those who approached them, including the Viscount Delang, with their swords, while Orkan and Simone burned everything they had cut down.
In the meantime, the nimble Bianchi made his way through, slicing through the demons with his dagger.
“This way! Quickly!”
“Was the hallway originally this long?”
“Hey, hey, don’t talk to me and just run!”
The servants who were cut by swords and burned by magic, instead of falling down bleeding, disappeared like cracked mud falling from the ground.
No matter how much they tried to get rid of it, there was no end to it.
Simone and her party initially used only weapons and magic, but eventually, they were forced to use all means at their disposal, including their hands and feet, to attack as the number of servants continued to endlessly surge forward.
“Oh...”
Simone sighed at the bizarre sight but moved forward.
With one swing of Abel's sword, the servants split in two from the crown of their heads and fell like mud.
It was such a hideous sight that she never wanted to see it again.
But maybe it's fortunate that they can confirm that they are not really human.
Also, was it because of Simone's amulet or was it the same principle that the evil spirits that rushed in brought food?
Thanks to the physical damage they received, the group was able to get out of there pretty quickly.
“Ugh, ugh, I thought I was cursed with something that would keep me locked in the hallway forever.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“...Look at that.”
At Louis's words, the group sat up and looked at the mansion.
The servants who had not yet been able to get rid of their belongings were standing in a row at the window, looking at the group.
“That guy, isn’t he the Viscount Delang? Didn’t we cut him down earlier?”
Bianchi raised his hand and pointed to the Viscount Delang, who was standing at the window like any other servant.
Abel frowned.
“I took it out.”
Why did you live again?
Abel and Louis cut down all those who approached them, including the Viscount Delang, with their swords, while Orkan and Simone burned everything they had cut down.
In the meantime, the nimble Bianchi made his way through, slicing through the demons with his dagger.

Bianchi raised his hand and pointed to the Viscount Delang, who was standing at the window like any other servant.
Abel frowned.
“I took it out.”
Why did you live again?
Orkan said, glaring at Count Delang with a completely disgusted expression.
“I can only temporarily cut it down, but I can’t physically kill it. Let’s go back for now, Simone.”
“Yes, let’s talk about the rest at Illeston Manor.”
Louis immediately connected the communications stone to the Grand Duke of Illeston, who quickly sent a carriage.
On the way back in the carriage, the group looked at each other and laughed.
The sound of clattering horse hooves, the rocking carriage, and bright moonlight streaming in through the window.
The group below ran out in such a hurry that their hair was disheveled and their clothes were rumpled.
Until just a moment ago, they were dressed up quite neatly.
The sudden situation that started with Simone was so absurd and the sight of each other made them laugh out loud.
"Ha ha ha ha ha..."
"Funny..."
“Haha, what is this...”
They shouldn't laugh, but they almost died there just now.
“Let’s go back to the mansion, report, and discuss with Marquis Barrington what to do with the mansion.”
“Yes. Haha...”
Simone and her party laughed like crazy until they reached the mansion.
“Welcome. It’s been a while, Simone.”
Fortunately, Simone and her group were able to arrive at the mansion safely.
As she left the welcoming greetings of the servants behind and entered the study of the Grand Duke of Illeston, the Grand Duke who had been waiting greeted her.
“What the hell is that?”
He looked up and down at Simone and her party.
“I ran away.”
“Things are getting more serious than I thought. Sit down.”
The Grand Duke of Illeston came and sat down on the sofa. He had not yet learned of the situation, having sent the carriage without asking any questions when Louis asked him to do so.
“I will report it first.”
Simone told him everything that had happened at the Delang mansion and what she had found out.
It turns out that everyone in the mansion is dead, and the Occult Society and the Anasis they summoned were setting a trap to lure Simone in.
When Grand Duke Illeston heard this, he also looked as confused as when Simone and her party first realized the truth.
“Anasis... has been resurrected?”
And what's more, she's after Simone's body? What on earth is going on?
“I can only temporarily cut it down, but I can’t physically kill it. Let’s go back for now, Simone.”
“Yes, let’s talk about the rest at Illeston Manor.”
Louis immediately connected the communications stone to the Grand Duke of Illeston, who quickly sent a carriage.

When Grand Duke Illeston heard this, he also looked as confused as when Simone and her party first realized the truth.
“Anasis... has been resurrected?”
And what's more, she's after Simone's body? What on earth is going on?
He thought Simone was sent to another place where strange phenomena occurred, but it turned out to be a trap. Anasis, Anasis...
To put it in order, the occult society that worships Anasis sacrificed the entire House of Delang as a sacrifice for the resurrection of Anasis, and Anasis was summoned to create a new House of Delang and then induce Simone to come.
“Question here! Anasis’ summoning wasn’t perfect, so why did she already induce Simone?”
Bianchi asked. It was also the question Orkan had asked before running away.
At that time, Simone was in a hurry to run away, so she postponed her answer.
“If she were going to lure you and steal your body, wouldn’t it have been better to wait a little longer and then let you in after she was fully summoned?”
“Yes, I think so too.”
Simone also agrees with Bianchi.
Now that she's found the right vessel, she wants to make it a complete success.
And yet, the reason why the famous, once great woman who almost brought an empire to her knees so recklessly lured them into a trap and even failed.
In fact, Simone heard the reason from Anasis.
But you foolish children, it is not enough to summon me with just a few dozen humans.
It's just a shame that I can't have your body now and disappear.
“Isn’t it the opposite?”
“You object?”
The Grand Duke of Ileston, Louis, and their party looked at her as if asking what she was talking about.
Simone said.
“Isn’t it because she's not perfect that she quickly found a vessel to contain herself?”
She said that the sacrifice was insufficient and that she was saddened that Simone's body had disappeared before being taken.
What that means is that if the body had been taken away, it might not have disappeared?
If the summoning had been done perfectly, instead of having to put on a show using the Viscount Delang, Anasis could have just found Simone herself and taken her body with her great power.
“Think about it this way. Anasis realized immediately after being summoned that her soul was unstable and would soon disappear. So she couldn’t find the time to rest and quickly searched for a body that could hold her soul.”
If it disappears this time, she doesn't know how long it will take to be summoned again.
There was no time to leisurely go around saving the body.
“But unfortunately, Anasis lost all her strength before she could possess my body.”
If only Anasis had done a little more, she could have had Simone's body.
She guessed that was why she said she was sorry.
Of course, this is only Simone's opinion, and she cannot say anything with certainty.
The party was troubled. Among them, Grand Duke Illestone and Louis looked particularly confused.
The confusion was even more noticeable because the two people did not usually show their emotions.
Orkan furrowed his brows but sorted out the situation.
“We’ll have to think about it some more, but as of now, all we can come up with is speculation, so I think it would be best to put off investigating this matter for a bit longer.”
“I agree.”
Simone nodded.
“So what should we do now? Do you think it would be better to give up on this request?”
"Well."
The incident is related to Anasis.
This alone greatly increases the risk of the request.
First of all, Viscount Delang is certainly dead, but should I continue to carry out the commissions of that family that has already been ruined?
At least Orkan and Bianchi didn't seem particularly inclined to do so.
Bianchi tapped Abel.
“Abel, what about you?”
"Me?"
“Yes, you. We will follow your opinion.”
As expected, a leader is a leader. When it comes time to choose their next course of action, Orkan and Bianchi naturally seem to be thinking of following Abel's opinion.
Abel asked Simone without much thought.
“So, Simone, in your opinion, Anasis has already disappeared from that mansion?”
Simone nodded.
“Yes, first of all, she said it herself. It’s a shame that she’s disappearing soon.”
And Simone also intends to follow Abel's opinion this time.
For something this dangerous, it's safest to follow the protagonist's choices.
'Even though Simone is a tragic supporting character who dies alongside the main character.'
When she thinks about the main story in the novel, there were no major episodes in the Luan Empire section that required someone to make a great sacrifice.
“Isn’t that okay? Let’s go back.”
Abel replied immediately, saying there was no need to think too deeply. Orkan and Bianchi looked worried.
“Are you sure it's okay? This is an incident involving Anasis. It could be more dangerous than you think.”
“So what? Didn’t Simone say that Anasis would have disappeared?”
"Abel..."
“And what, even if it’s dangerous, I’ll protect you and Simone. Let’s go. Viscount Delang, the servants there, they’re so pitiful.”
He died a miserable death while trying to help his friend, but even after death, he was unable to rest in peace. Instead, his soul was possessed and became a haunted spirit in the mansion.
Abel's words somehow brought smiles back to Orkan and Bianchi.
I told you I really can't stop you? Haha, Abel too. Hahaha, since our main character said he'd go, there's nothing I can do. I have to follow him. Hahaha, hahaha.
Simone looked at them indifferently.
Abel and his friends, like characters in a novel, say lines that she would only hear in a passionate coming-of-age novel.
'Crazy, crazy.'
To Simone, it just looked like she was having a bad time.
Even if Abel had decided to go, the final choice would still be made by the client's agent, the Marquis of Barrington.
