1. "I'm not asking for your approval,"
2. "But please-"
लोड हो रहा है…लोड हो रहा है…
2. "At least give me a chance to make up for everything."
लोड हो रहा है…लोड हो रहा है…
2. "......"
2. "...didn't expect you to have a bit of backbone after all."
1. "So,"
2. "How do you plan to prove your worth?"
2. "You're wary of the one who wields dark magic, right?"
2. "If I told you that I know tanzanite and his group's target,"
3. "Would that count as proving my usefulness?"
4. "?!"
2. "Their target?!"
3. "How could you possibly know such crucial information?!"
4. "Tanzanite said it himself."
2. "Shut up!!"
3. "Sooner or later, we will find you!!"
4. "I swear I will personally kill you!!"
5. At that critical moment, the power of a certain lord within me suppressed tanzanite.
6. The way he raged so hysterically-it was clear that his fury wasn't directed at me and xiaoyu, who had already lost to him.
1. But what really caught my attention was the "We" he mentioned-
2. "So that means"
3. "That guy has accomplices, right?"
1. "That would also explain why, despite your intense battle, I didn't sense any disturbances-"
2. "Someone must have been interfering from the shadows!"
3. "And on top of that, our platform assigns missions based on proximity, yet it just so happened to land on xiaoyu's lap?!"
4. "This feels way too much like a trap!"
1. "-and the person who set this up knows xiaoyu"
2. "Well enough to be certain she wouldn't let tanzanite escape...!"
2. "Exactly,"
3. "That's also why I set up a barrier around xiaoyu."
1. My barrier can block all demons,
2. Whether they're ordinary people controlled by magic or exorcists bound by demon contracts.
3. As long as there's even a trace of demonic energy, they'll be kept out.
4. I have to screen everyone around xiaoyu to rule out any suspects.
5. At the very least, they'll need to pass through my barrier first.
2. "But what if they're especially good at hiding it?"
1. "Didn't you also fail to sense our battle with tanzanite back then?"
2. "......"
1. "Hmph,"
2. "I didn't expect you to have the courage to question me now-..."
1. "You're right."
2. "It's precisely because I'm not all-knowing and all-powerful that I'm so cautious around xiaoyu."
3. "?!"
1. "My hand can move!"
2. "Who... Who exactly are you?"
3. "Who I am isn't the point right now."
4. "Your arm has been heavily corrupted, and even with my purifying power, all I can do is restore basic movement."
5. "This shows just how troublesome this dark force is."
1. "But the determination you've shown today has changed my perspective."
2. "For now, I'll acknowledge that you're ready to face the challenges ahead."
3. "!"
2. "Let me make this clear beforehand:"
3. "I can use the power in your hand to monitor your actions, so don't"
4. "Disappoint my expectations."
1. "Then..."
2. "What should I do now?"
2. "Go investigate."
3. "!"
2. "Xiaoyu is young and impulsive, while you are quite the opposite."
3. "Go to xiaoyu's side and to the places where I sensed anomalies."
2. "Use the agility you would have used to escape and bring back valuable intelligence for us."
2. "So that's how it is-you were holding something back."
2. "Why didn't you tell her about "Mom" and zhang hongxia?"
1. "After all, I'm not sure if she's trustworthy..."
2. "I don't even know what she really is to you..."
3. "......"
1. What is opal to me?
2. We've known each other for ten years, and to me, she's both a mentor and a friend.
2. But actually, she's probably like zhang hongxia-
3. Both of them "Care" for me because of my unique constitution...
4. Or should I say "Supervise" would be more appropriate?
2. "......"
1. "Let's not talk about that anymore, shall we?"
2. "......?"
2. "-by the way, could you help me fix my hair?"
1. "It's so uneven, one side long and the other short. It looks bad and gets in the way."
2. "I tried doing it with one hand before, but cutting the left side with my left hand was just too difficult..."
3. "Since my right hand still can't do delicate tasks, I have no choice but to shamelessly trouble you, a fellow patient..."
4. "......"
1. "Time really flies, huh?"
2. "Your hair has grown quite a bit since we first met."
