[Exorcism] Broken Gears

It doesn't invade the private sphere, it just keeps following.

Well, just this level of surveillance is nothing.

Although with the help of Mana, he still failed to avoid resisting the approach of strangers, but he didn't feel sick.

Gradually got used to having one more follower than the rabbi and the old scholar by my side, and my life was still the same as before.

But it seems a bit more troublesome.

Because, it seems that Link may, maybe probably...has the attributes of an old lady.

Like everyone else, he is a gentle person.

However, just as he was thinking that even the people in the central government would have no choice but to get emotionally entangled like this, Link's surveillance mission was suddenly cancelled.

While he was relieved, he was even more puzzled.

Master was also released from house arrest, and his right to contact him was restored, and everything went on as usual.

All of this in the past was lightly exposed by Ruberlier with the word "misunderstanding".

What are you talking about believing in Master's behavior and lying to ghosts?

No one who knew Coulos Marianne would believe Rouberier's words, would they? !

The demon factory brought back to the earl this time was found to have been damaged internally. Is it really okay to let him go like this?

As the central figure involved, I naturally couldn't be more aware of the weirdness of the whole thing.

Because I can feel that after the Ark incident, some kind of change is quietly taking place in myself...

For example, when you look in the mirror, you can only see a grinning black shadow.

If I don't do something else, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Inexplicably, I thought of it that way.

I wanted to ask about these things about Mana and the piano score, but found that the master was hiding from me.

A few days later, he unexpectedly received another mission and left the church.

... Tsk.

Looking at the message recorded by Tim Gabby, Allen sighed.

"It's... cunning."

The rabbi on the side waved his hand and showed a helpless smile.

"It can't be helped, right? Open it and have a look."

"Um......"

Allen responded and asked Tim to release the information.

[Yo, idiot apprentice. 】

The voice came out.

【I’ll tell you the truth now, don’t be overwhelmed after listening—especially don’t cry to me in front of outsiders! !I can't afford to lose this man! 】

[You have never been the successor of the [-]th will, it is worse than that, you are the next [-]th yourself. 】

My heartbeat stopped for a beat.

But the voice continued.

[Mana, as the powerful missionary next to the Generalissimo, deliberately approached you in order to turn the Fourteenth into our strength, and I was the assistant in the later stage. 】

[After telling Ruberier about this secret mission, he naturally let me go. 】

That's it.

So it all makes sense.

Mana, it really wasn't a coincidence...

There is no pure white person in the world, and he is also wearing a mask.

But it doesn't matter, compared to the illusory love, it's just right to use it.

Only using relationships is the most reliable and indestructible thing.

[As the extra Noah, the Fourteenth is a special exception.His strength is comparable to that of the Earl of the Millennium, and he does not need to obey his orders, but it will also cause corresponding demons. 】

Although he paused for a while to take care of Allen's complicated mood, the voice didn't finish.

[The fourteen generations of the previous dynasties were all controlled by demons and killed their closest relatives—this is why the previous Rhea became a traitor. 】

......Ugh?

[I believe that you will become the first fourteenth term with a sound mind. 】

What, that's it...

What if, I don't succeed...?

【You will succeed. 】

"Why, so sure..."

Allen lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"Ah, damn it..."

"Allen..."

The rabbi who was at a loss didn't know what to say.

"Tsk, who would cry."

Hugging Tim, Allen squeezed out a smile again, and his expression returned to the original.

"You really underestimate me, Master."

It's not that you are in front of my eyes, crying can't be comforted.

Tears are useless from beginning to end, except for venting yourself and only shedding them in front of people you can rely on.

"Alian, if you cry out, it will be better."

As soon as the rabbi finished speaking, Allen found himself being hugged.

"......Ugh?"

After being stunned for a second, he hurriedly tried to break free.

"It's okay, I'm not a kid anymore."

"But in front of me, Allen is still a child."

The rabbi's thick and reassuring voice came to his ears.

"My thoughts are the same as Li Nali...why can't you rely on us more?"

"I like you, Allen."

This insignificant sentence is the last blow.

...is invalid.

"Oh no."

Completely escaped from the warmth, Allen's smile faded by half.

"That's fine with naive Li Nali, how can you think so, rabbi?"

"...Allen?"

"We exorcists are pawns, whether it is for the cult or for Innocence. If we have no value, we will die. Li Nali has been protected by Komui all the time so she didn't realize this."

His cold tone was completely opposite to his previous attitude.

"If you don't fight desperately, you are wasting value. Even if you don't get killed by the devil or Noah, you will be miserable like Siman. It is not a problem that can be solved without relying on each other."

"As for liking... it's a very dangerous emotion, and it's not something the heirs of the scholar are qualified to have. Rabbi, you shouldn't have said such things in the first place."

Finally, put the smile back on.

"We all need to be more mature?"

"Hey, let's pretend that nothing happened today, Rabbi."

After speaking, Allen turned around and left without hesitation.

After a while, the old scholar outside the house came in.

"That kid is much more sensible than you."

"...well, yes."

The rabbi forced a smile.

"Do a good job as an observer, and don't interfere with the growth of the next fourteenth term."

"Got it, old man..."

The author has something to say: The demon factory that was brought back to the earl this time was found to be internally damaged-Kuros did a good job.

Pave the way for joining Noah in the later stage~!

[Actually, I am too lazy to write about the fight with that level [-] and want to end it quickly
