The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

The virtuous Nightmare Bishop Alina will naturally take good care of him.

Morpheus's illness could be cured in the modern world.

By taking preventative measures, Morion could avoid suffering the same fate as Morpers in his later years.

"Phew...it seems Morps didn't help you much."

Morion chuckled self-deprecatingly upon hearing Dekan's words.

He could roughly guess Morpheus's situation in the shadow world that Decan had just experienced.

He was probably the only partner who didn't offer much help to Dekan.

"No, Morps is the only teammate who hasn't given me any trouble."

Dekan smiled and laughed.

"He also told me a lot of information about the Holy City that Eve and Pusser could not provide."

"……Yeah?"

This timeline, where teammates get along well, seems to have surprised Morion somewhat.

They didn't even get used to this new Dekan for a while.

In the past, if Dekan had encountered such an opportunity...

I'll definitely give him a good dressing down.

"That's wonderful."

Morion smiled with relief.

Just as he was about to continue talking to Dekancroix.

He noticed that Dekan suddenly stared blankly at the Chloeux family's courtyard.

Morion also turned around to look.

Cornelia was standing at the courtyard gate, holding Cat Teacher.

Her eyes were red-rimmed.

Although he didn't seem to be breathing at all.

But the cat teacher's fur was ruffled by the wind, and its expression looked like it had just ridden a roller coaster.

This explains how Cornelia rushed over.

Morion smiled. He had intended to chat with Dekan Cloix, but now he stopped talking, patted Dekan's arm lightly, meaning "Let's go."

Their conversation could continue at any time.

Morion knew that Dekan should have a good talk with Cornelia right now.

After a while, Mier and Clay, who were the furthest away, arrived.

Dekan probably felt bad about leaving his friends behind and spending time alone with Cornelia.

Although all of them who remained in the mortal world had been pretending to be calm in front of Cornelia for the past three months.

To ease Cornelia's worries about Dekan's solo challenge of the Shadow World.

But Cornelia is not stupid at all.

She quickly realized that this shadow world was very likely to be of the ninth rank, and what a ninth-rank shadow world meant.

"Then I..."

Dekan looked at Morion in surprise, then at Chloeux.

He seemed unaware that abandoning his arriving companions and taking Cornelia with him might be inappropriate.

After all, his initial plan was to tell everyone about everything he had seen and heard in the movie world.

I don't want to hurt anyone, I don't want to disappoint anyone.

However, it wasn't just Morion.

Even Chloeux had a smile on her face, gently placing her hand on Dekan's back.

They pushed it outside the door.

Dekan didn't say anything more.

He quickly ran to the courtyard gate and took Cornelia's hand.

They left the Chloeux manor area together...

……

It wasn't too late in Norton's capital at this time of night.

The antique buildings were adorned with soft, pale yellow lights.

The streets of the city were still bustling with activity.

On the street, among the men and women dressed in bright, colorful attire, only two stood out for their simple attire.

The girl wore a simple, unadorned, and inconspicuous white chiffon blouse, a symbol of purity.

The lower body consists of a culotte designed for ease of movement.

Her hair was pretty much the same as usual, except that she tied her long hair up with a ribbon.

This is Cornelia's casual wear—the kind of clothes she wears when going out in the spring and summer.

Dekan visited the film world at the end of winter.

So when he came out of the Void Gate, he was still wearing a heavy coat.

He has now taken off his coat and is hanging it on his forearm.

However, even as they walked through the bustling streets of the capital at night, they did not feel uneasy among the crowds.

They all wore masks made by Dekan around their waists.

They will not be recognized by the people around them, nor will they be noticed first.

In fact, the "cognitive interference" effect can be triggered without wearing a mask.

Previously, it was just that Dekan wanted to wear a mask.

388 The Pianist Dekan: The Vanished Clay

Even though the golden hues of dusk have long since faded, the capital city's nightscape, illuminated by lights, still reveals a beauty no less stunning than before.

Pedestrians dressed in various clothes stood beside the ancient buildings on both sides, their faces radiating a peaceful smile.

On this straight and long street.

The figure strolled along, seemingly oblivious to the chaos around him.

Aside from occasionally glancing at the silent girl beside him.

He seemed to want to say something.

But whenever I'm about to speak, my thoughts become a little jumbled.

Then, very embarrassingly, he swallowed his words back.

This made the black cat in the girl's arms look both annoyed and disdainful, and it even began to give him a mocking look.

Dekan's expression was, frankly, so funny it was almost comical.

He seemed to think that he was the one who made Cornelia cry—

I saw Cornelia with red eyes in the courtyard earlier.

It is indeed because of him that he is right.

But neither Delois in the past nor Dekan in the present has ever dealt with this situation.

How could a demon be at a loss because of a crying girl?

"I was wrong……"

I don't know why I would say that.

And whether I was wrong or not, and where I went wrong.

After much deliberation, Dekan finally uttered those words.

However, Cornelia, who had long since stopped shedding tears, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Dekan's sudden remark.

Why are you apologizing?

Cornelia turned her head and looked at Dekan, asking.

"do not know."

Dekan remained as honest as ever.

Dekan, who wasn't stubborn, was as fragile as a piece of paper.

"Make sure you think carefully about the reasons before apologizing, otherwise people will think you're just going through the motions."

Cornelia walked on, continuing to stare straight ahead at the road.

She actually knew everything in Dekan's heart.

He did nothing wrong.

I just feel a little guilty for no reason.

I just don't know how to express it.

However, since Dekan has actually apologized, it's quite unusual.

It would be a shame not to tease him a little.

Dekan walked on in silence.

He genuinely believed Cornelia was angry.

After much contemplation and racking my brains to organize my thoughts, I finally managed to squeeze out a few words:
