What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 76 I will bring him warmth

Until Mora left, Sirius kept an indifferent expression and continued to sit in his seat and drink tea.

It was as if the witch hadn't left yet and had been sitting across from him watching his performance.

There was no way, he had to be cautious now. Sirius needed to maintain a fearless posture at all times. Different from hiding his identity in front of Nalia before, the enemy he encountered this time was even more terrifying.

And if the cunning witch is still peeking somewhere at this time, something will definitely be discovered if he relaxes at this time.

No, does it seem like he has been acting since time travel to now?

"...Come out, how long do you want to hide?"

Sirius wanted to deceive Moira who might be listening in the corner, so he deliberately said this loudly.

But what surprised him was that he did hear footsteps, but when Sirius slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the footsteps with his whole body tense, he discovered that the person walking over was not that person. Witch, but—Liz?
  "Liz, have you ever...cryed?"

Sirius did not ask the other party why he did not leave with the other servants, but instead appeared here. What he was even more confused about was the girl's somewhat red eyes and nose.

"Master, I'm sorry."

"..." Sirius frowned, then put down the tea cup in his hand, pulled out the chair and stood up slowly, "What's wrong, Liz, can you tell me? Why are you crying."

"I..." Liz looked at Sirius's beautiful face and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

She didn't want to lie to Sirius, but there were some things she didn't know whether to say.

"I'm sorry, Master. I don't want to lie to you. I, I just did something bad, something very bad."

"That's it..."

With a click, Sirius immediately understood what this so-called bad thing was about.

What else could it be but another murder? If this ruthless man could do it himself, the other party would be very unlucky.

"You killed someone?"

"Master? How did you know..." Liz looked at Sirius in surprise. Not only was she surprised that he directly told what he had done, but she was even more surprised by Sirius's reaction.

After all, it was not surprising for someone like Sirius, who was omnipotent in his eyes, to know what he had just done.

But what's strange is that Sirius's attitude seems to be something he has become accustomed to, as if killing someone is not unusual to him.

"I am your master after all. Of course I know what you have done."

Seeing that the gears of fate were still turning, Sirius saw that Liz had not changed much in her personality because of him, and he felt helpless for a moment.

But fortunately, at least with him here, the other party has no chance to come into contact with that undead magic.

"I think you are confused now and have a lot to say to me. But before that, please prepare some bath water for me. I want to take a bath first."

Nothing but that he was exhausted physically and mentally from chatting with the witch Mora all afternoon, and his back was covered with sticky sweat.

It seems that his psychological quality still has room for improvement.

After hearing his instructions, Liz just hummed obediently and went to prepare hot water for bathing.

About 20 minutes later, Sirius lay comfortably in the bathtub in the bathroom. Although the bathtub was not very big and was not as good as the treatment he had enjoyed in the palace in any way, at least it was enough. People feel at ease.

No... Actually, I can't say how reassuring it is.

His sinister maid was still standing outside the door, waiting for him to come out. Sirius felt dizzy when he thought about these things.

The warm water was used by him until it gradually cooled down. Sirius was not very used to having a maid help with bathing, so he did it all by himself from getting out of the water to getting dressed, and he I feel that I still need to maintain such a gentlemanly image in front of Liz.

"Owner……"

Liz leaned forward slowly and used a towel to help wipe Sirius' wet hair. Because of the height difference between the two, Liz, who was standing behind Sirius, was forced to point her toes.

His well-developed chest pressed against Sirius's back, making his face look a little weird.

"Okay, Liz."

"Ah."

"Liz, can you tell me who the person you killed was?"

Sirius looked at Liz calmly, trying to meet her eyes.

Now Liz still seemed to feel guilty about the murder, so Sirius felt in his heart that everything could still get better. Or even if all this is irreversible, Sirius also hopes that the other party can realize who deserves to die and who does not deserve to die.

"It's Fanny..."

"Fanny?"

Sirius frowned, and then under Liz's nervous gaze, after a moment of silence, he said in a puzzled tone: "Who is Fanny?"

"Ah?" Liz was also a little stunned, "Fanny, she is one of the maids that your master hired."

"Really? Ahem..."

Sirius was a little embarrassed, he really couldn't remember these people's names.

Although this is a Japanese-style Western fantasy world, the names of the people here are not as long as those in traditional Western fantasy, and need to be divided by several points. But that doesn’t mean that I can remember the names of all the unimportant supporting characters, does it?

"Then can you tell me what she did? Or...is she a damn evil person in your eyes?"

"You shouldn't be considered a villain, right? No...I, I don't know..."

Liz shook her head. She really didn't know how to judge good and evil now. Even when someone like Fanny was placed in front of her, it seemed as if the other person was the poor good person and she was the heinous sinner.

"Compared to your father? Has Fanny done you more harm than your father?"

"..."

Seeing Liz's silence, Sirius asked again: "Lizzy, do you think I am a good person?"

"Master, of course you are a good person!" Liz answered very simply and quickly this time. "Really? But some people think that your master and I are the most unworthy human beings in the world..."

Sirius smiled helplessly. Seeing that he still had the magical talent that surpassed human limits, he realized that from God's perspective, he was still an out-and-out villain at this moment.

"How?! They must not know you!"

"Really? In fact, it doesn't make much sense to worry about these. I just want to say that sometimes you can't judge a person purely by good and evil. People are very complicated. Your father does deserve to die, but other people... they also have their own The reason why I had to do that.”

"I……"

“But people who have died cannot be resurrected.

But from now on, Liz, I hope you can understand that instead of directly killing those who are not good for you, I hope you can think and solve problems from another angle.

Try to turn them into your friends, make them fear you, and use this fear to turn these people into your own strength. "

"Become your own power?" Liz felt as if Lord Siris' words today always revealed a mystery, "Can I do it?"

"Of course it can be done. Think carefully about what to do. If you are confused, take a good look at the book on light magic that I gave you. You need to find out from it why the God of Light has so many believers. reason.

Take advantage of the power within it, and then use this new life brought to you from the inside out to change yourself and others. "

As soon as this sentence came out, Liz, who was still a little confused, immediately found her direction.

It turned out to be the case.

Lord Siris turned out to be using this metaphor to convey the answer that could not be said openly.

"I understand...Thank you, Master."

A smile appeared on Liz's face again. This smile was not only because her favorite master did not blame herself for killing Fanny, but also because she found the direction of future efforts from this brief conversation.

"Do you really understand?" Sirius frowned. He always felt that Liz's change seemed a little too fast.

But this worry about Liz quickly disappeared.

Because he needs to face the darkening night, which means that as long as he falls asleep, he will fall into a terrible nightmare.

Seeing Liz leaving respectfully as if she had decided something, Sirius couldn't help but feel troubled.

And when he returned to his room, the sleepiness caused by the stress of the day gradually pushed him onto the bed behind him.

"Damn, I didn't expect the nightmares I've had these past few days to be so scary. If it weren't for the fact that my overall condition wouldn't be much reduced when I woke up, I really wanted to keep my eyes open until dawn."

However, even if this is the case, this daily nightmare torture is not something that humans can endure.

However, these dreams were the kind that had plots that could be connected back and forth. He suspected that this button was deliberately trying to mess with him. It specially selected the horror movie themes that he was most afraid of in his previous life, so that he could feel what it means to be completely in the dream. A real experience of ghost movies.

On this day, Sirius still couldn't withstand the invasion of sleepyheads. After a short period of inability to resist, he fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, in Liz's room on the other side.

At this moment, Liz was using the faint light of the candle to piece together the half of the pages that Fanny had torn apart today back to their original appearance.

But this process is really too difficult.

Although it is not so broken that I have to reassemble each word by myself, after so many pieces of paper were violently torn apart, it cannot be restored to its original state overnight.

Of course, she hasn't actually read the latter part yet, and she hasn't finished studying the entire first half of the book.

The reason for this is that she has been afraid that this book will be discovered these days. She only waits until everyone is asleep before secretly lighting candles to study.

On the other hand, the reason is because she lacks the tools to practice. She can't kill someone first to use it as material for herself, right?
  Liz lay helplessly on the bed, looking at the messy pieces on the table beside her, she couldn't help but retreat.

How about taking advantage of the fact that it's still early today and the other servants have gone back to their own homes to go and ask Lord Sirius for help?
  Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, when will it end...

Liz nodded secretly. She felt that this was a good choice. After all, this book was given to her by Lord Siris. With his ability, he could definitely make up the remaining half for her.

Liz, who was still in her pajamas, took the half of the book that was still intact and walked towards Sirius' bedroom door wearing cotton slippers. Along the way, all she was thinking about was how to speak later, and she didn't realize that when she and Sirius parted just now, the other person's eyes were full of exhaustion.

When she walked to Sirius's door, Liz had already thought about her words. However, when she knocked on the door, she found that the door in front of her opened as she knocked.

The door is unlocked?
  "Master, are you there?"

"...Don't come here! Go away...I didn't kill you, don't look for me..."

"Master? What's wrong with you?!"

Liz heard Sirius's panic-filled murmurs coming from the room. She panicked for a moment. She was afraid that her master might be in danger, so she didn't care about anything else and just opened the door and walked in. .

However, when she opened the door, she realized that there was no second person in the room, and it was not the nun who looked a little bit annoying during the day who had grabbed some information about Sirius and came here to threaten him.

Sirius was the only one lying on the bed, his posture was very strange, but when Liz got closer, she noticed the unstoppable cold sweat on Sirius' face.

At the same time, as she was approaching, Sirius let out another painful cry:

"Go back to the grave...don't pester me, don't...ah!"

This last shout immediately startled Liz, and she even thought that Sirius was going to jump up and hug her on the spot.

However, could Lord Siris, a person who always seemed so stable, as if nothing made him nervous, actually have such a fragile side?

Liz couldn't help but shed tears as she seemed to be entangled in those painful memories, which even included her father's distorted face before his death.

She knew that Sir Sirius had been burdened with too much, and no one knew or could understand this pain.

"Lord Sirius, Liz is here. Liz...will always be with you."

Liz showed a gentle smile that came from the bottom of her heart. She knelt down and held Sirius' cold hand tightly, then put it in her arms.

I hope her body temperature can bring comfort to Lord Siris, the gentlest person in the world.

　I feel a little dizzy, maybe I have the flu. I slept all day today and only got up in the afternoon to code 4000. I really couldn’t stand it anymore. I’m sorry everyone. Let's take a look tomorrow and try to restore the 8000 update.
