The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

A month later.

Dekan, dressed in overalls, emerged from the basement of the Krantes City Energy Station.

"Wow, I'm exhausted!"

He stretched with all his might.

After more than a month, Dekan finally created the forced energy extraction device based on the core technology on the space jump gate design.

Irenos is being stored inside the cylindrical life support chamber directly beneath this energy station.

Under Dekan's guidance, Irenos, who had been almost rendered useless by Lenn, is now like a powerless puppet.

Upon arriving at the first floor of the energy station, Dekan couldn't help but show a relieved look upon seeing that the Irenos Fuqiang was now able to provide energy normally.

"Sir, you've had a long journey."

The staff at the energy station and the knight in charge of guarding the area greeted Dekan as he emerged.

Currently, Dekan's position in the city of Krantes is that of the chief energy infrastructure engineer personally invited by Lenn.

When the people at the energy station learned that the engineer was going to build a device with an incredibly high capacity, they all expressed disbelief.

Regardless of whether their rationality is questioned, anyone who has witnessed how Lenn and Dekan interact would not dare to cause trouble for Dekan.

His identity is clearly extraordinary.

His compassionate and merciful ambition to save the world is truly admirable.

"There shouldn't be any problems this time, right?"

Dekan walked up to the control center and asked.

"Yes! Everything is stable now that you've fixed it!"

The maintenance worker said excitedly.

"It's simply a miracle. This way of generating energy out of nothing is like a ninth-level expert sacrificing their life to provide energy! Of course, that's impossible."

"Haha, it really does look quite similar."

……

After exchanging pleasantries with the people at the energy station, Dekan went to instruct the Knight Commander to keep an eye on the entrance to the basement.

The special guards of the Knight Commander rank were also granted to Dekan by Lenn.

The city of Krantes will assign eighth-tier powerhouses to guard the energy station in shifts around the clock.

However, they could only guard the entrance to the basement.

Even when Dekan was building the Fuqiang energy plant, no one else was allowed to enter the basement.

Besides Dekan, only his sister and assistant could help him.

Although Talomatti in this timeline is far less skilled in magical engineering than her mentor in Dekan, she is, after all, Delois's younger sister who grew up with her and is extremely proficient in Delois's magical engineering techniques.

With her help, Dekan felt that he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Eve is just starting out; besides doing odd jobs, she's mostly learning the craft as an apprentice.

At that moment, Talomatti and Eve brought Dekan's toolbox and the remaining materials out of the basement and waited for Dekan at the entrance of the energy station.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a big meal today."

Dekan walked toward the exit of the energy station and said to them with a smile.

"Yay, thank you, teacher!"

Although Eve had accumulated a lot of holy gold coins, she knew that as an immortal being, these savings were not enough, and she needed to be very careful with her money.

She strongly agreed with the frugality principles that these teachers had taught her.

"Ah."

Talomatti didn't express any opinion on today's feast, nor did the corners of her mouth change in any way.

But there was a smile in her eyes, and you could tell she was in a good mood.

After the Demon Realm surrendered, Talomati did not return to the Demon Realm for the time being, but stayed in the city of Krantes.

She really liked the food from the Holy Kingdom.

And following Deloitte is also a good option.

Pushing open the door of the energy station, the biting cold air stung their eyes.

It is now the coldest time of winter in the northern part of the Holy Kingdom, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, except for a few homeless refugees who are waiting for the food distributed at fixed times every day.

Even with the support of Morion's merchant guild, which could provide them with food, the shelters were already full and there was no way to build a temporary one to provide a safe haven for more refugees to escape the cold.

The three of them quickly left the energy station and hurried towards Lenn's manor through the snowstorm. Unconsciously, they seemed to have habitually treated Lenn's lord's manor as an inn.

"Eve, what do you think of the human kingdom?"

Dekan braved the cold wind and asked Eve, who was walking behind him.

"I really like it here, especially after the peace. I'm sure it will become even more beautiful in the future."

Eve answered in a light tone, exhaling puffs of white mist.

She had fallen in love with this holy country where she didn't have to live in fear, or more accurately, with the city of Crantes where she had a place to call home.

Eve had fantasized about escaping to a human kingdom, disguising herself as a human, and living a relatively peaceful life while she was studying at the Demon Academy.

However, she was also very realistic. With her disguise skills, her true identity would probably be discovered soon, and she didn't want to be arrested and executed.

Moreover, she is so weak that even if she goes to a human kingdom, she might not be able to protect herself if she encounters bad people.

However, everything was so peaceful in the city of Crantes.

Even Len, who was most afraid of Eve, clearly saw through her identity at a glance, yet tacitly allowed her to live as a resident of Krantes!

She was well aware that all of this was because she had a reliable guarantor.

After Lenn learned that Eve was Doloice's student, he treated her as a harmless demon, or even as a human.

Of course, the same applies to Lenn's attitude towards Talomatti.

"Teacher, thank you. I am very touched by your and Sister Talomatti's care for me, as well as Lord Len's attitude towards me."

Eve expressed her sincere gratitude.

Her words made Dekan pause slightly on his snow-covered steps, as if frozen in place.

"Touched? Could you elaborate on your thoughts?"

Dekan turned to Eve and asked, seemingly unconcerned about the falling snow.

Although they seemed to have returned to a temporary teaching situation, Dekan's gaze was not stern at all, but rather very easygoing.

"Hmm... I feel very safe when I'm with you. Even if it's not because I crave your protection, I still want to find you and stay with you. Maybe in human terms, this is what 'family' feels like?"

Eve answered while observing Dekan's expression.

"And Lord Lenn's attitude of turning a blind eye, without showing any prejudice or suspicion towards me just because I'm a different race, really touched me... I wonder if this is what humans call kindness..."

Seeing that Dekan did not respond, she lowered her voice until she stopped speaking altogether.

She felt like she was saying something stupid.

I don't know if I'll anger the teacher.

But she was also certain that the consequences of lying to her teacher were far more serious than daring to tell the truth.

So even though Eve knew that saying things like "You're so cruel" would anger the teacher, she would still tell the truth when asked for her thoughts.

"Please continue."

Dekan looked at Eve, his tone unusually gentle.

Eve was stunned for a moment, then nodded. It was the first time she had ever seen her teacher speak so kindly.

Finally, Eve took a deep breath as if she had mustered up her courage, even though what she was about to say might be disobedient and disrespectful to the teachings of the "legendary demon Delois".

“Teacher, I may still not be able to feel kindness towards other individuals, but I don’t want to hurt them right now. Because if I do, I might experience an inexplicable discomfort; I have a feeling… just a feeling…”

After saying that, she hid behind Talomatti.

After hearing Eve's words, Dekan remained silent for a long time.

There were quite a few snowflakes stuck to his hair.

“Very good, Eve, I have also benefited greatly from hearing your words.”

After saying that, Dekan turned around and continued walking towards the Lunn mansion.

Eve watched her teacher's departing figure, clutching Talomartie's forearm tightly, afraid to let go, lest she be expelled from the school because of her earlier words.

"He wasn't angry; on the contrary, his eyes showed a genuine sense of relief."

Of course, there was also a touch of melancholy.

"Talomati said."

Let Eve pull him along as they walked toward Dekan.

……

Although Dekan walked on by himself without saying a word, his expression showed that he was full of emotion.

"You actually succeeded in your scientific research."

The master's surprised thoughts echoed in Dekan's mind.

She felt that Eve, who could say those words, was more like a human being than Dekan.

"She's still too early; she's far from understanding people's hearts at this stage."

Dekan sighed like an old father.

"Fortunately, I was able to make many valuable records during this time in the film world, but unfortunately, I couldn't witness the whole process."

Eve is like a container with no capacity limit, possessing an comprehension ability that even Dekan finds incredible.

If any other brutal demon in the Demon Realm had discovered her talents, Eve would probably be a formidable opponent that even Dolois would find troublesome. Fortunately, it was Dolois who found her.

If such a moment had actually occurred in history, Dolois's feelings during this conversation between Eve and Dolois would likely have been quite complex.
