146 Thoughts in the Dark (Chapter 7 Epilogue 2) (2/2)

I couldn't read the first part of the document because the words were scratched off, but from the illustrations, it seemed to be about torture.

I told him because Mr. Ligeena wanted to hurt Goz so that he wouldn't live and kill him.

'I gave Lady Coona the contents of the material without checking anything, is it okay?

I think about that.

'Hmmm, does it hurt? Goz? But it's not over yet.

In front of me, Ligena is holding a candle in her hand.

The candles, along with a whip and a rough rope, are the ones I brought out of the warehouse in the Temple of Ishtia.

They're all made of a special material, apparently capable of hurting an opponent without hurting them.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. ”These candles will not burn you because they melt even at low temperatures, but they will definitely transmit the heat to you.

Ms. Rigena lights a candle and drips melted wax on Goz.

Goz moans in pain and winces.

But why is that? Goz looks delighted.

His ugly face feels like it has a look of ecstasy on it.

That face is too ugly to look at, to say the least.

''Ho ho ho!''

Ms. Ligeena wields the whip, dripping candles.

Goz grunts and moans in ecstasy.

What is it? Without a doubt, something not good is about to awaken.

I could feel the darkness spreading.

Dark Knight Kroki.

Kuroki. Looks like Sirone is alive.

At the Castle of Sweets (Sweet Castle), we get a report from Coona.

Coona can get information from Raina.

So she tells me about Syrone.

'So ....... Thanks Coona.

A short answer. I can't show you how happy I am in front of Coona.

But I'm glad Syrone is safe.

You don't have to come to yourself. If you're fine, that's fine.

'By the way, Kroki. You know what to do.

Coona looks up at herself with expectant eyes.

'I know. Coona. Come on, young lady, come on in here.

He takes Kuna's hand and sits him down in a chair.

For the rest of the day, I am a follower of the Kuna. I must obey Kuna's orders.

That is the price of making Kuna feel lonely.

Of course, I don't give orders.

It's just a game, so to speak. Kuna is the young lady and I am the butler.

But I don't know what to do or how to be called a butler. Could I do it well?

Mm, it doesn't bother me.

Kuna looks happy when he says that.

It's a relief to see that.

She is happy about her own poor behavior.

I should take good care of myself. I think so again.

Come on, miss. Here is Nepenthe's tea, sir.

Brew the tea I had prepared.

Nepentheus was ordered from Gypsir.

A good aroma wafts into the room.

'Kroki. Come sit next to me.

'What? Are you sure?

I'm afraid it's not a good idea to be a follower.

'I don't mind. Kroki. Kuna says it's good for you.

Cuna laughs.

But orders must be obeyed.

He sits down in the chair and Coona moves into his lap.

'Kuna?'

I don't want to be a squire. Kuroki. We'll have a cup of tea together.

Coona rests her head on her own chest.

I feel the soft touch of her hips.

It makes me feel happy.

'Jack-o'-lantern. 'Jack-o'-lantern, make some tea for Kuroki.

””Hoy, Lady Kuna!”

When Kuna gives the order, the kabochi-heads with demon fire inside fly in a fluffy manner.

The kabochi is a vegetable native to Nargol, similar to the pumpkin.

It is sweet and can be eaten grilled or boiled as it is, or sometimes used to make sweets.

The kabochi has spiritual power and can be used to contain demon fire to give it life.

A jack-o'-lantern is made by giving it a scarecrow's body.

This jack-o'-lantern is a new power that Kuna learned from Hercart.

She also gives the jack-o-lantern a doll's clothing to use as a squire.

Nevertheless, I think there's something haunted about having a jack-o-lantern in the Castle of Sweets (Sweet Castle).

A jack-o-lantern floats in the air and makes tea for me.

Then another jack-o-lantern brings me a gocha with kabochi.

'Kuroki. Ahhhh.

Coona opens her mouth.

'Yes Kuna,'

He takes a piece of kabochi candy and puts it in Kuna's mouth.

'Fufu, it's delicious. 'Kroki.'

Coona laughs.

When Kuna laughs happily, I am happy too.

I feel something warm spreading in my heart.
