I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

91 – Elin – 1

I was a kid with a very high ego.

I thought I was the main character of this world, and I believed that everyone who stood in my way was a villain.

Isn’t that obvious?

A girl who was 11 years old at most, mastered B-class light magic, and the Martires Church always praised me as a genius.

There was no way the bridge of the nose wouldn’t go up.

The person who was the worst villain to me was.

“Sister, let’s win!”

“Okay, Elin.”

Selene Veronica.

It was commonly known as the White Saint.

Obtain the title of white.

That has been my dream since I was a child.

But when I say this in church, the adults always smile and shake their heads.

‘It’s unfortunate, but it must be a dream that’s hard to come true.’

With that said.

Why?

I couldn’t understand it at the time.

I’m the hero of the world, and I’m a recognized genius, so why are you saying it’s impossible?

There is always only one answer to that question.

‘Because Saint Selene is here.’

It wasn’t even funny.

If my talent were really great, I would be able to surpass even Saint Selene, but why did I decide that it was impossible before I even tried it?

Well, now that I think about it, it must have meant that Saint Selene was great enough to make me give up my childhood dream, but to me at the time, those words were absurd.

And such dissatisfaction slowly began to accumulate, and before I knew it, Saint Selene had become the greatest villain in my heart.

Actually, he never once told me to give up.

On the contrary, he cheered me on saying that someday I would surpass myself.

However, as a young 11-year-old, I wanted more recognition from others than the support of Saint Selene, the person in charge of her.

“Selene sister! It’s a match today!”

“What is it, Elin?”

“Ellin! I’ve said it many times, but rude words and actions to the saintess are prohibited!”

“It’s okay, Priest Hedges. Isn’t it nice to have at least one person in the church who calls me this comfortably?”

Every day.

After dinner, I always went to Selene’s house.

There is always one purpose.

I will defeat Selene’s older sister with my ability and steal her white title.

“Which one shall we compete with today?”

But her sister didn’t have the slightest idea that I would win, and she always greeted me with a smile.

Well, it’s understandable since I’ve never won, but I hated it because I felt ignored.

“Today is this!”

“Is this a book?”

“Right. This is a new collection of problems related to light attribute magic. Difficulty is the best!”

“Then the time limit is 30 minutes, and whoever solves more problems wins.”

“Okay! Priest Hedges, please.”

“Ha ha. All right.”

As soon as Father Hedges gave the signal, my sister and I opened the book at the same time and started solving problems.

First problem, second problem, third problem….

How many problems is this?

And how far did the older sister solve it?

Those consciousnesses slowly began to sink in my head.

“It is over.”

At the words of Priest Hedges, my consciousness was awakened and I was able to grasp the situation.

I solved 12 problems.

And the unnie solved 21 problems.

“Whoops, I won again.”

“Profit!”

Although I knew that couldn’t be the case, I looked through my sister’s workbook to see if she had cheated.

But there are only perfect answers written there.

Even for the 13th problem that I was stuck on, my sister wrote down only the correct answer to see if there was any problem.

“Ah, Elin is blocked here? In this part, when converting magic power into light properties, through accurate calculation of how much refined magic power is needed….”

My sister checked my workbook and slowly began to explain it to me.

An older sister who easily solves problems that have been blocked because I am difficult.

“Still, the fact that this problem has been solved this far is amazing. It’s probably a problem that most priests have been blocked by.”

“Oh, is that enough?”

“Yes. Would you like to take a look?”

“… Really. It’s a matter of twisting the middle process three times, but having to put all the twisted things back at the end.”

“Isn’t it?”

I felt like I was being treated like an idiot, and I hated her.

“You came again today, Elin.”

“Hello, Uncle Damian!”

While listening to her sister explain her workbook, she said Uncle Damian returned from work for the day.

“Did you win today?”

“… No. I lost again.”

“Yes. But you won’t give up, will you?”

“Of course!”

“It’s a good attitude.”

Uncle Damian stroked my hair and quietly put the cookie into my hand.

It was one of my favorite snacks, macaroons.

“Thank you!”

It felt like the frustrating things that had accumulated so far were flying away in an instant.

“Ah, Elin, I have a favor, is that okay?”

As I was about to go back to my room to sleep, Selene’s sister smiled and grabbed me.

“Why?”

“I think I will probably spend a day at the imperial palace tomorrow. Can I play with Shion and Charles?”

Tomorrow was Sunday, so there was no schedule.

“Mmm, I get it.”

Shion is really cute, and Charles follows me well, so it’s good to play with me.

“Hee hee, let’s have fun together tomorrow, Xion.”

“Kuuung.”

I left her sister’s house after gently massaging Shion’s cheek while she was sleeping in her bed.

“Sisters! I want to too!”

“Okay, Zion. Now, here.”

“Can I not do it?”

“Because if you help Shion do it, she’s the same as doing it together.”

“Sister, you are very kind.”

“Isn’t it cool?”

“Yes!”

This is definitely a fun, everyday story that you won’t forget for the rest of your life.

★

One day.

‘Ellin. I’m busy tomorrow, so I don’t think I’ll be able to meet you even if I come.’

So, just stay in your room for the rest of the day.

Selene unnie said that yesterday.

However, it was different from the way he usually explained clearly when there was a situation, so I felt curious about that fact.

“Aren’t you trying to run away because you think I’m really going to win now?”

I spread my imagination like that.

After dinner, I went to my sister’s house again, as if it were natural.

“heheheung. If you’re secretly training without me, you can’t miss it.”

Maybe I can figure out why I lose to my sister every time.

Well, even if you don’t have a sister at home, then you can play with Shion and go back.

“… Uhm?”

But somehow, the atmosphere was strange.

My sister’s house was located on the outskirts of the Central Church site in Martires.

If you go along the long passage, you will come to a house where my sister and Uncle Damian live, along with a large garden.

But why?

The priest who always smiled as he passed through the aisle and asked if he would visit the saint today.

As for the priest who always brought me various workbooks even though he said that I couldn’t win anyway.

Today, for some reason, no one showed up.

“… Are you okay.”

At the end of the aisle I arrived at, calming my heart like that.

“Huh?”

There was a barrier that blocked entry.

Should I go back?

I thought so, but when I looked closely, I could see that it was a barrier made with the principles from the workbook I solved with my sister the other day.

Then she remembered what her older sister had said she would be able to solve on her own.

“Ah!”

Your sister is testing how far I understood that day!

With that in mind, I quietly reached out to the barrier.

Unlike the last time, it was a barrier that had to be twisted five times instead of three times, and at the end, it had to be returned to its original state only after retracing the flow in three directions.

“Anyway, isn’t this too difficult?”

If it wasn’t for me, the white man of the future, this was a problem I couldn’t have solved.

Let’s dismantle the barrier with such dissatisfaction.

“… Uh?”

I saw a burning house and Selene’s sister fighting unidentified assailants.

I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on.

This is Martires Central Church.

This house where the saintess lives is famous for its tight security, as it is a place that even most nobles cannot easily enter.

I wouldn’t be able to visit every day if my sister hadn’t personally given permission.

But what is the scene unfolding before my eyes right now?

“Selene, Elin is here!”

“… ?!”

At Uncle Damian’s booming voice, Selene, who had been fighting against the gangsters, looked at me.

But it was too late.

The assailants recognized me before Uncle Damian or Selene’s sister, and countless daggers were already flying towards me.

I should have used protection magic immediately, but my body and mouth were frozen, so I couldn’t do anything.

But the pain didn’t come over me, and when I opened my eyes feeling strange, I saw a pure white barrier blocking the dagger.

“Eh, you?”

It was the older sister whose chest was pierced by the assailant’s arm.

“Selene!!!”

“You won’t have time to worry about anything else while dealing with me.”

Then Uncle Damian was knocked down by a huge greatsword.

It’s all just a dream.

Today I listened to my sister and immediately went back to my room and fell asleep.

This is all a bad dream.

But what is unfolding before my eyes.

“aaa… !!”

It was so cruel, the reality.
