Chapter 47 – Just One More Day
Jenkins felt a burning pain in his stomach.
"Ugh…What do I do with this?”
“Be patient. I'm going for a month."
Iwer smiled graciously as she watched Jenkins suffer.
"Ugh… Idiot. What have you been doing without even talking to me all this time?”
Seeing the scene, Rinne let out a sigh and carefully asked Kiehl, “Kiehl, Bella is not the person you think you are.”
“….”
“This is the summoning circle of the demon realm.”
Hearing that, his eyes widened and everyone watched his reaction.
‘He must have been shocked, right?’
It was right. Kiehl was shocked, just as they were worried.
‘…Then, was Bella the Princess of the demon realm?’
Why did he never think of it before?
‘That's right… Bella was a demon.’
Obviously, he knew it, too. The way she looked when he first met her.
‘Demon like an angel…’
Nevertheless, to him, Bella had always been an angel surrounded by white light, so even after he separated with her, he couldn't think of it that far.
At that time, the things that he had been accustomed to and passed by were calmly put together like a puzzle.
…Iwer’s blood that charmed people.
…He also heard that she couldn't hold the holy sword in her hand.
Now, he could see the cogs that had been separated from each other rolling together. Covering his unclosed mouth with his hand, he listened to the beating of his heart. His eyes reddened and a tear fell.
The twins were restless when they saw Kiehl crying for the first time and comforted him.
“Kiehl, Kiehl… Are you okay?"
He hurriedly returned to his room and took out Bella's notebook and novel, which he always carried with him.
She should have killed him first…
From the moment she saw him in the first place because he was going to kill her. However, she didn't and instead approached him. Even though she knew she was going to die, she tried to make him the Prince…
‘How could she be a demon like this?'
There was no trace of her in the novel, which was like his biography. The scene, which was only a few lines that he had just skimmed through, was rewritten in his life.
Kiehl embraced the novel he had always considered blasphemous to his chest.
‘I thought we could never meet.’
Nonetheless, at the end of the waiting, the name of the relationship was ‘fate.’
* * *
When Kiehl went back to the dining room, the twins asked him worriedly.
"Are you okay?"
“Rinne, that summoning circle… Can you summon it?”
Kiehl focused more on his plans for the future than on flattering consolation.
“I think I should try it first. Even though it’s funny because I’m proud of it, I definitely need to be at the level of an Archmage to be able to summon it.”
Hearing those words, Kiehl held his chin and pondered.
“If this is difficult magic, would you like to know how many other wizards have summoned the Demon King?”
"Ah. Zero.”
"Huh…?"
Rinne then asked, scratching her head with her finger, “Why are you trying to summon them? You don’t have to.”
“But still… A strange wizard or something.”
“There were some guys like that, though a wizard with that skill wouldn’t fall into that path.”
“Rinne, can you help me?”
Staring at Rinne anxiously, he thought that if she said she doesn’t want to do it, it was because she couldn’t do it.
‘Why do I have no divine power…’
This was the first time that it was unfortunate that the pendant lacked that power.
“What can this little girl do? From now on, it will be quicker to hire a wizard who is capable of using the Young Master’s abilities.”
Rinne smiled and stood up.
“What do you see me as now?”
He hadn’t seen anyone who could follow Rinne if it was a competitive game.
“Try it right now!”
She was someone who had to get first place no matter what, so she would do it just to show her abilities.
* * *
After a while. They all stood in the large vacant lot of the inn, waiting for Bella's radio.
“…Will Bella really call?”
“Don’t worry, she’ll call in anger. As long as we don't get caught up in our accident."
Kiehl put his hands together to calm his tense heart.
‘If Bella says she doesn’t want to come to the human world… Let me go to the demon realm.’
Rinne waited with the rabbit in her hand, which she would use as a sacrifice, in case she might be summoned, as she peeked at Kiehl and thought.
‘Uncle Jenkins is like a brother and sister, but it’s not like that.’
After a while, a large summoning circle appeared under the radio that Iwer was holding. She then placed a loudspeaker in front of her in the middle of the vacant lot so that everyone could hear it.
“Iwer.”
Kiehl's eyes gradually turned red.
It was Bella's voice…
A voice he hadn't even heard in his dreams. The person he thought he would never see again.
‘I miss you.'
Without realizing it, he slowly approached the radio. He wanted to hear it a little closer.
"Kyaa! I've been waiting for so long!"
“What were your thoughts on sending me that dress?”
"Haha. Don't you like it?"
Iwer smiled awkwardly.
Of course, as soon as she received it, she would get angry. In addition, Bella knew how to contact Iwer by radio, so she purposely sent the princess dress that she could only wear in social circles.
“There’s no reason to wear that. I told you not to send this. What am I going to do with this?”
"Ah… well, Miss.”
“Should I even dance with these bastards Talam? Huh…? I just get mad just thinking about them?”
Bella gradually became angry and began to curse.
‘Miss! The Young Master is listening—!’
Even though Iwer glanced at Kiehl with concern, he was smiling as he heard Bella's voice, probably soaked in nostalgia.
‘When I thought about it, our Young Master is not normal either…’
“What were you thinking of sending this? You just need to come back to this stupid Demon Realm, your limbs…”
"Miss, do you want to come to the human world? I found a wizard who can summon.”
“….”
"Miss?"
Suddenly, a bright voice resounded in the vacant lot.
"Really…?"
"Yes! That's why I sent it to you!"
“Iwer, you did it! Wonderful!"
As soon as Kiehl heard those words, he couldn't control the emotions that were rising.
All of this seemed unbelievably smooth.
The next moment, when Iwer gave her the sign, Rinne nodded her head and stopped the rabbit’s breathing that she was holding. She wanted to flatten the nose of the half-demon, who saw her as insignificant, so she concentrated on her magic more than usual.
‘Huh. Of course, I can summon the Demon King. My name is Lady Rinne, the preliminary Archmage.’
The rustling of leaves around the clearing grew louder and louder, and the wind blew strongly around Rinne.
“…Will this work?”
Jenkins felt a thrill as he looked into the young wizard's eyes.
“Miss, can you see the summoning circle?”
"Yes. It’s right in front of me.”
Kiehl slowly approached Rinne's summoning circle. His pounding heart felt like it was going out of his body.
‘I can see her soon…’
When he met Iwer, he never thought that everything would be so good.
The time he had been waiting was slipping through his fingers like grains of sand on his hand, and the longing that he had accumulated was blown away like leaves in the wind before disappearing without a trace.
‘It’s not a dream, right?’
Kiehl's heart felt like it was about to burst.
At that time, Pur voice was heard over the radio.
"Oh! No…!"
“Xx. don't touch me. I'm leaving!"
"You… You should wear clothes!"
Kiehl paused for a moment in the summoning circle and took a step back. At the same time, Rinne instantly lost her concentration.
“You can come naked.”
What do you mean?!
Kiehl stared at Iwer with a blushing face and silently expressed his anger in the shape of his mouth.
“Iwer, are you crazy?”
"What? Is Jenkins there, too?”
Fortunately, Jenkins restrained his mouth.
Rinne hurriedly refocused and maintained the summoning circle. However, Pur's roaring voice interrupted her concentration.
"I'm seeing the Princess naked right now!"
"Ohh— I want to see it with my own eyes.”
“I think you’ll like it, so I’ll tell you vividly! The Princess's chest is…”
At her words, Kiehl covered his ears and bowed his head. A fever rose from his blushing face.
"What is the Princess's chest! Tell me more!"
"No!"
But Pur, who had been silent for a while, didn’t answer.
"Wow! The tongue sticks quickly!"
Only Rinne blinked her eyes, not understanding what they were saying. Meanwhile, with those words, everyone else knew what Bella was doing.
Now, it was her turn to come.
“I’ll go in.”
“Are you wearing clothes?”
“Don’t annoy me.”
The summoning circle thumped. Despite that Bella, who should have appeared, was nowhere to be seen.
"Why can’t I go in…?"
“I think we need more magic.”
At Jenkins' words, Rinne concentrated on her whole body with all the strength she had.
She had gathered all her magical powers that she could draw around her. Every time Bella bumped into it, she could feel the vibration in the summoning circle. Nevertheless, it didn't break through as if something was blocking her.
"Haa… It's the limit. I can't get any more here."
Rinne’s legs were shaking to the point that it was difficult to even stand.
"Miss. We need another way. At this rate, the summoner may die…”
At that moment, they could only see one hand slowly passing over the summoning circle.
"Please… I, I want to go out.”
Kiehl could feel how desperate Bella was speaking over the radio. He walked slowly to the summoning circle and took her hand.
‘I want to see her soon.’
He wept, interlocking her fingers as he gently stroked her fingers one by one. The slender wrists, trembling arms, bruises and blood leaked from her skin as she struggled to come out of the human world.
“Miss, you’re hurt too much.”
"I don’t care."
Kiehl was holding back the desire to grab her. Jenkins shook his head as he looked at Kiehl, who swallowed his saliva with his stinging throat.
‘I want to see her…’
But, he couldn't hurt her anymore, so he shoved Bella's hand. When her hand was gone, Rinne collapsed as if she had waited.
"I can't go out…?"
“…I'll find a way. If you want to."
“I want to go out… just one more day.”
Everyone held their breath at her desperation. After the radio cut off, no one spoke for a long time. He could see the disappearing summoning circle, and he touched his blood-stained hand. Kiehl grabbed the person who was so blurry with this hand.
Bringing his hand close to his lips, he took the rest of the warmth with the tip of his nose.
‘I’ll save you.’
Like the fairytale she always read.
