I was very excited to go back to the stationery store, study the holy relics, and create a diary. However, as I was happily riding the carriage, a sound rang in my ears.
'Mel, I've done everything you told me to do.'
It was Dominic. His rough voice rang in my ears.
'Very capable… A rare one… It's been a long time, but I've heard that someone close to Kinnoa's direct lineage is still alive.'
It was so far away that I couldn't hear the sound being cut off. I said to myself to Dominic.
'Thank you for your hard work. Can you bring him to the stationery store?'
'Maybe. But it doesn't even have tracking magic… Somehow, something is a bit strange.'
Somehow, Dominic's voice was sharpened. I've never seen anyone who couldn't even catch a Dominic. What the hell was he doing? I seriously blew the signal.
'It may be dangerous, so take care of yourself.'
'Are you the first person to worry about my body? Have you forgotten who I am?'
Dominic could be heard laughing. After all, Dominic was actually a golden bull (meaning, very strong or valuable).
'Still, there's nothing wrong with being careful.'
'Okay. See you later.'
That's how I ended the conversation with Dominic. On my lap was holy water containing divine power. I shook the bottle slightly. I didn't know what it was, yet.
"There is also the problem of not being able to discern the state of the divine power." At least one priest should be kidnapped.
Isaac asked quietly as I looked at the holy water bottle with my chin resting on my hand. "A friend named Dominic I saw at that time."
"Oh, yes."
"I wonder what kind of person he is. I don't even know how long the two have been friends."
"Hmm…" Even so, he thought that Isaac might be curious about him. "Besides, I now have some clear trust in Isaac." So I thought I should tell him about Dominic's identity as well. However, without knowing Dominic's intentions, he could not arbitrarily reveal his identity.
After thinking about it, I came to a comprehensive conclusion. "I've always wanted to get to know Dominic. So I went to visit Dominic and decided to be friends."
"Oh." However, Isaac's face became terrifying for a moment, and then returned to a gentle state.
Oh. Did I see it wrong?
He nodded silently. "Okay."
…What did he mean by that? But before I could speak, he came close to me. It was so close to the tip of his nose that he could even hear the sound of breathing.
"Now I'm going to remove the disguise magic."
Oh, I haven't removed the disguise spell yet!
"Yes, please." I closed my eyes and nodded.
Then, Isaac's right hand began to slowly descend from his hair. As I closed my eyes, I felt that my other senses were more sensitive. Elegant fingertips began to touch my cheeks.
Uh.
I felt a strange heat in his fingertips and stopped. It was a moderately pleasant feeling that was slightly hot and a little exciting. Every time his fingertips touched, the disguise was being released one by one.
Soon his fingertips stopped somewhere near my eye. "There's a pale spot in the corner of Mel's eye. I knew it for the first time." I couldn't see that point, so even I, who was possessed by this body, didn't know about it.
I looked up at him with my eyes wide open. "All the magic is lifted."
He smiled lowly and gently rubbed the mole around my eye. It was like a dream, so I felt like I was immersed in a dream. Before I knew it, I could see his long eyelashes hanging down. It must mean that the disguise magic has been lifted, but why did it sound different?
However, in the dreamy world, it was time to return to reality. I stared at the holy water on the table again. Certainly, there seemed to be no particular difference from the holy water they had previously sold.
Isaac, holding a bottle of holy water in his hand, spoke calmly. "This is what we are studying."
"Yes, this is something that the Duke of Hesmann will bring from the Holy Kingdom." I nodded at him.
"Usually, holy water has divine power or blessing energy. But here…" Isaac quietly shook the bottle of holy water. "I don't feel any energy. What is it?"
His and my gaze met in the air. Several hypotheses can be formulated here. Either there was the wrong sale at the auction house, or Sheria was just selling water. Either was fine. This was the worst case. When the 'something' contained in the holy water was so high-level that we could not distinguish it.
What if it's the last one?
And in the original work, it's clear…
Isaac, who was staring at me with anxiety, held the bottle in his hand. "Don't worry."
"…Yes?"
"Because lies and conspiracies are revealed to the surface in the first place."
"…"
"If there is a peculiar problem with this holy water, we will definitely be able to find out."
His words, which had been beating anxiously, made my heart strangely relieved. For a moment, I thought that this man was like a tree that I could rest and lean on.
What a nice guy!
He took my impressed gaze and affectionately stated, "Then, let's start with training."
"Oh." It was necessary to continue to increase the mana capacity.
"It might be a bit harsh today."
Cancel the remark that he was a tree that could rest and lean on. Now this guy was definitely just a vicious trainer!
After a rigorous training by Isaac, Meldenik wove locks, keys, and parchment paper into ten secret diaries.
Our diary is complete.
It was important to find out the identity of the holy water, but there was nothing that could be done right away. It was also important to run a stationery store and spread the word in preparation for the infiltration of Sheria and Lennox.
I made the delivery, so it must have arrived well.
Meanwhile, the members of the Retro Circle of Sufia Academy, who received a small diary during the academy class, opened their eyes. A diary that was a little larger than an adult man's palm didn't look very special.
"Oh my God, what is this?"
"It seems too ordinary."
They were disappointed at first, thinking it was just an ordinary diary. Of course, the lock on the diary and the small key on the lock were definitely antique materials.
"Let's open it."
After carefully reading the product manual sent by Meldenik, they soon began to use the diary. They inserted the key they had into the lock. Inside was an ordinary piece of parchment. But what happens if you engrave each word on that parchment paper?
"When I write like this, the words appear in everyone's diary in real time!"
The circle members exchanged glances with each other. Except for seven-year-old Hailey Young-ae, who resembled a desert fox and had no expression, everyone was surprised by this innovative invention.
"It's a special diary that only we can share."
Because he was always with his maid, his private life was nothing more than a private life, and for the aristocrats, Meldenik's diary was very revolutionary. Moreover, wasn't it a diary that didn't exist in the world?
"I really like it."
Moodsela, who held Meldenik's diary tightly in her arms, smiled happily.
A few days have passed since the circle members started using the diary. Inside the Sufia Academy, stories began to circulate about strange objects carried by members of the Retro Circle.
Circle members sometimes wrote down their own words in their diaries.
It's really hard to learn ancient languages!
There were also cases where I wrote comments to myself.
Do your best. Can I lend you my ancient language book?
They also asked each other questions they were curious about.
What are you most afraid of?
- I'm most afraid of demons!- Faithful Saint of God, 17 years old, Elin
- I'm the scariest werewolf.- 16 years old, Moodsela
- It is an unstoppable flow of time that slowly leads us to inevitable death.- 7 years old, Hailey
Within a week, Meldenik's secret diary became a channel of communication for the members of the circ
