The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

41 – Box

After that, Delia’s light pranks continued.

I don’t know if it’s because he feels closer to me than before or because there’s an additional change in his mood.

‘With this incident as an opportunity, I will work harder.’

I nodded with satisfaction, feeling that I would work hard on my own without being tempted by magic modification, at least for a while.

‘Anyway, what’s left now… ‘

Now I guess it’s time to go home and study the ‘box’ I previously acquired.

I’m already smiling at the thought of doing research.

Delia, who was watching this, poked my forearm with her finger and spoke as if she were embarrassed.

“Well, what is it? “Did you really like it when I played pranks on you?”

I was trying my best to speak triumphantly, but for that reason, my ears were stained bright red.

I spoke slowly, ignoring the question that was not worth answering.

“Then it’s getting cold, so let’s go inside.”

“Ugh.”

I slowly held Delia’s hand, which was still blushing, and entered her mansion.

After the dinner party ended, I went straight home.

In the process, the head of the Herdi family suggested, ‘Go to sleep.’

I was more curious about the identity of the box I left at home, so I flatly refused and returned home.

‘… So what is this?’

Sitting on the lab chair, I looked around at the square box.

A violent wave of mana that can be felt just by holding it.

For something this powerful, it would have been natural for it to be mentioned ‘in the novel.’

‘Strangely enough, this item has never been mentioned.’

So, I needed to find out what this was, but the problem was that I had no idea where to start.

‘First of all, I figured out that I have an ego last time.’

Reaction due to shock.

When I think about the existence of such a thing, it is clear that something is mixed in, but I have no idea what it is.

‘So for now.’

I decided to forcibly wake up this silent guy and spoke to him by tapping the box.

“If you don’t wake up, I will hit you.”

I don’t know if it’s right to say these things to an object.

For the sake of the experiment, I said this and the box began to wriggle and form a protective shield around my body.

When I saw this, I realized that this guy was definitely listening to me and raised the corner of his mouth.

“Let me give you two orders. “If you do not comply, I will punish you appropriately.”

[…] … ]

“First, obey my orders unconditionally. “When I call you the second time, you will answer.”

[Ne… Eh.]

He pouts as if he doesn’t want to answer.

I spoke, slamming the box with my hand without saying a word.

“Third, show consideration, courtesy, and loyalty.”

[Two… I heard there are two!]

“It is my heart.”

I clicked my tongue as I looked at the box in front of me, trembling and cackling like a cat.

Because I really didn’t like the idea of too much talking about an inanimate topic.

“Then let’s continue talking again. “What are you?”

When asked such a question, the box falls flat and refuses to answer.

I had no choice but to hit the good button with my palm.

– Bah!

The box responds to me by crying in response to such pain.

[Shared… It is a seed of negativity.]

It is the seed of negativity…

In addition to the fact that the identity of the guy who was making this guy was a ‘demon’.

I came to a short conclusion after seeing the word ‘negative’ in front of this guy’s name.

‘It seems to be an item related to the devil.’

What I don’t understand, however, is why this item seems so important.

It was a question as to why it was not mentioned until the mid to late part of the original novel.

‘I don’t know if it’s because I couldn’t make it until the mid to late-aughts, or because it was already made so there was no need to release it.’

It was impossible to know what the truth was as of now without information.

But now that the seed of negativity is in my hands, I have the opportunity to find out more about it, so it would be a good idea to do so.

With that thought in mind, I drew up my mana and scattered it in front of the research desk.

I slowly lifted the seed of negativity upward and examined it.

‘An item created by sucking out the vitality and soul of countless corpses.’

In addition, if you think about the fact that the name is a seed of negativity…

I thought that this could possibly be a seed that becomes a medium for the devil.

*

The devil’s medium.

To put it in more detail, it is an item that turns an object into a demon lord.

The moment I reached that conclusion, I couldn’t help but feel doubt.

‘If this guess is true… ‘Why are we creating a medium now?’

No matter how hard you try to understand it, it still feels too late to create it.

No… It would be correct to say that it is not too late, but just that it is late.

Thinking about that, I frowned little by little.

‘In addition, there are more strange things.’

I don’t understand why, when making such an important item, only a fuse was placed to protect it.

I don’t understand why they blatantly kidnapped and murdered people as if they didn’t care if they got caught.

I wouldn’t do something like that unless there were hundreds or thousands of these… Ah.

‘So that’s what it was like.’

Nowadays, making these boxes is not done in one place.

Because it is happening in all sorts of places, its importance seems to have gone down little by little.

‘The only thing I don’t understand is… ‘Why didn’t this content appear in the novel?’

I think I will have to search for more information to find out about this, so I decided to postpone judgment for now.

‘Then all that’s left now is this guy.’

I looked at the box guy rolling around in front of me and clicked his tongue.

I really didn’t like the idea of being so leisurely about the topic of seeds of negativity.

I was about to ask another question while looking at that box guy.

[Humans are definitely… I liked cute things.]

He said to himself

And began to transform into a black cat.

‘… Cat?’

It looks believable even if it is a real cat, not an artificial one.

The moment I saw that, the content that was often described in the original novel flashed through my mind.

[Now that I think about it, doesn’t it seem like there have been more black cats recently? Maybe it’s my imagination, but… Don’t those cats seem to be looking this way?]

Black cats.

At the time I was reading the novel, I thought it was said simply to express a gloomy atmosphere.

Now that I think about it, it seems that the description was not simply meant to convey the atmosphere, but that many seeds of negativity were transformed to avoid people’s attention.

At that fact, I laughed and looked at the cat.

The appearance itself has definitely become cuter.

Even though he’s cute, it doesn’t mean he can’t be dealt with, so I’m going to deal with this guy for Rumi’s sake.

[Now, just a moment! Your sharing can help!]

Starts struggling and shaking his arms.

“Help? “What kind of help are you talking about?”

[For example, does it tell you the location of other seeds of negativity?]

“Are you saying you would sell out your colleagues to survive?”

[What a colleague! Competitors! I’d rather see those guys disappear.]

I was slightly shaken by those words.

If this guy really revealed the location of other seeds of negativity, it could significantly worsen the power of the Heavenly God Church.

So, after thinking about it for a while, I put this guy down and spoke.

“Then let’s just watch without killing him now.”

[Thank you, thank you.]

“There is no need to be thankful. “If I don’t think it will be helpful, I will deal with it right away.”

[…] … ]

The sound of swallowing can be heard up to here.

I was sitting on a chair, leaving my strange cat alone.

Someone is knocking on the door and calling me.

“Deer Eun.”

Judging by the voice, it appears to be Rumi.

I tell Rumi to ‘come in’.

Rumi opens the door as if in a hurry and speaks to me.

“The chef gave me cookies earlier, so I thought I’d share them… ?”

When he spots a cat while talking, he stops and blinks.

No matter what the essence is, it seems that people are interested in cats that ‘look quite cute’.

I looked at Rumi like that and tried to tell her to play with whatever she wanted.

“… “Who is this guy?”

Contrary to my expectations, there was no favor or goodwill at all…

No, rather, a voice that could be described as cold came out and asked me a question.

I felt puzzled by those words and left a reply.

“I picked it up earlier.”

“… Is that so?”

I may be mistaken, but it strangely seems like Rumi is jealous of the cat.

I’m feeling sleepy because of the dinner party, so I’m pressing the corners of my eyes, wondering if I’m having trouble distinguishing between my emotions.

Rumi, who was glaring at the seed of her denial, slowly approached me and began to mutter so softly that I could hardly hear her.

“I don’t want to have more pets… “
