He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Just as Thanatos stepped out of the palace.

This scene is unfolding in a corner of Sri Lanka.

"Aaaaaah, you bastard Edward, tell me right now where my little white rabbit is! I haven't sucked on such a sweet and soft little loli for two whole days, three hours, and twenty-eight minutes...!"

At that moment, Cecilia was pressing Edward to the ground, the dagger in her hand occasionally bringing it close to Edward's neck.

"Stop, stop, stop! Cecilia, calm down! I don't even know where Miss Bai went, how can I tell you... Hey, wait, put down the knife, put down the knife!"

Edward was struggling to break free from Cecilia's knife-wielding threat.

"Anyway, I've finished the task that old man Roland assigned me. Now that he's not here, I can just kill you...!"

"Oh my god, grandma, don't say such scary things! I really can't confess right now... Wait, wait, put the knife down!!!"

Just as Cecilia was about to plunge a dagger into Edward's neck and arrange for his untimely death.

A familiar voice came from over.

"Edward?"

Upon hearing the sound, Edward immediately turned his head to look.

"Airi!?"

The person who arrived was Ellie, who looked at the two of them with some confusion.

"What...what are you doing?"

At that moment, Cecilia, who had heard the commotion, suddenly stopped wielding her dagger.

After looking at the new girl, Cecilia analyzed the situation.

Then, Cecilia smiled.

Under Edward's incredulous gaze, her eyes reddened slightly, a bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her voice trembled softly.

"Brother Edward... So that's how it is. I was so stupid, I never realized it... I always thought that the way you were so gentle with me was somehow special."

Now I understand, all that kindness was probably just my brother's kind heart, treating everyone the same... Even what he promised me that day was just... to avoid embarrassing me, right?"

"Thump..."

Edward suffered cardiac arrest.

Nima.

This woman is trying to kill him!

To his ears, Ellie seemed to have fallen silent.

Edward, sensing something was wrong, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Aili! Don't listen to her nonsense! She's not some ordinary girl, she's a serial killer! Look at her hand! Look, she's still clutching a knife! Oh my god, help me!"

As he spoke, Edward secretly glanced at Ellie.

Contrary to his fears, Ellie was not angered by Cecilia's words at this moment.

Instead, he smiled gently and said in a natural tone.

"Alright, little sister, I know Edward would never do such a thing, and besides, the sentiment in your words seems a bit weak."

The way you look at someone and the tone of your voice when you truly like them can't be learned. What you just said sounds more like you're reciting lines.

"Bang!"

For a fleeting moment, Edward seemed to hear the sound of someone being punched in the heart.

"While I'm glad you're still supporting me at a time like this, that's not the real issue..."

As he spoke, Edward dodged with his head, narrowly avoiding the dagger that was falling on him.

Looking at Cecilia's gloomy and silent expression, and the crater left by the dagger beside her.

He felt absolutely certain that he was doomed.

However, Ellie hadn't finished speaking.

"Little sister, you're so good at saying these things. Have you been hiding your true feelings all along?"

At that moment, Edward suddenly felt that the weather was unexpectedly refreshing.

"Click...click click..."

The dagger, which had been driven into the ground, was now being forcefully propelled by Cecilia, cutting through the rubble and hurtling towards Edward's head.

"Ellie, please stop! Someone's going to die! Oh my god, a knife! A knife! The knife's coming at me!!!"

Just as Edward was about to be blown in the head by a dagger that was inches away, another familiar voice saved him.

"Edward...and Cecilia, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this sound, Cecilia, who had been acting eerily and terrifyingly, stopped what she was doing.

"Oh, it's Master Roland! What brings you here?"

Seeing Cecilia suddenly become "normal," Edward breathed a long-awaited sigh of relief.

"call…"

"Bang!"

Cecilia forcefully pulled out Cartier's dagger, the trajectory of which just sliced ​​off a tuft of Edward's blond hair.

Roland looked at Edward, who was still in shock, with a slightly complicated expression.

"Sigh, Cecilia, come here first, I need to talk to you. As for Edward... you can stay here by yourself for now."

With that, Roland led Cecilia away from the scene.

After Cecilia had walked away, Edward got up from the ground, panting.

"Phew... I almost thought I was going to die here... By the way, Ellie, you..."

Suddenly, the usually gentle and lovely Airi's style changed.

She grabbed Edward's ear with a forced smile.

Her tone was sweet, but it lacked any warmth.

"Alright, now that there's no one else here, Brother Edward, could you tell me about that little sister?"

……

"Master Roland, I wonder why you suddenly summoned me here?"

Cecilia followed Roland with a smile on her face, as if the thrilling event that had just occurred had not happened at all.

"Thump"

Roland stopped in a dark alley.

After a moment's thought, he turned to look at Cecilia.

"Cecilia, it seems you've done a good job with the task I assigned you. As agreed, I will arrange for you to have a legal status to stay in Kalos Sri Lanka, along with a residence."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia immediately became even happier.

"Oh, not at all, I didn't do anything. I just killed a few small undead. The big crisis that happened at the end wasn't solved by me either."

Roland seemed somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

"Wasn't the crisis that finally occurred resolved by you?"

Faced with Roland's question, Cecilia pretended to think for a moment and recalled.

"Hmm... I only remember that at the end, a huge bunch of golden, glittering undead appeared. They were immune to holy attacks, which was terrifying."

However, the group of golden undead only appeared for a few seconds before being completely wiped out by a massive shockwave. The scene was so horrific that Edward and I didn't even have time to react.

A group of undead immune to holy magic... and a massive shockwave that instantly annihilated them?

"Didn't those undead come back to life?"

"no."

Roland fell into deep thought.

A group of undead immune to holy magic is certainly terrifying.

But what's even more terrifying is that someone actually managed to kill all of these guys and even prevent them from respawning...

"This must be at least at the level of a god; could it be someone from the Wheel of Fortune?"

After a moment's thought, Roland decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

"Don't worry about those things for now, Cecilia. I called you here for something else."

Cecilia immediately showed surprise upon hearing this.

"Huh? Haven't I retired yet...?"

Ignoring Cecilia's feigned sadness, Roland continued speaking.

"You will be assigned to another dangerous mission this time. If you succeed, I will recommend you to a better place where you will have more resources and opportunities."

Cecilia seemed somewhat distressed by Roland's promise.

"Hey... do we still have to work? And the conditions you promised are too vague, I don't want to go..."

"There, I can ensure you can ignore the Assassination Association's threats, and you might even have the chance to fight back."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fight back and kill them all? Master Roland, you're not joking, are you?"

"no."

Roland then paused for a moment.

"I vouch for this as the Royal Chief Alchemist."

After receiving Roland's affirmation, Cecilia's tone immediately became much lighter.

"Since Master Roland is so certain, I'll reluctantly agree. By the way, what exactly is the task for me?"

Roland looked at Cecilia, who had a smile on her face, and said slowly.

"Infiltrate the Golden Dragon and spy on Emperor Artoris."
