บท 31: Misunderstanding [2]

One and a half months passed since I got inside my novel.

Many things happen in that period...

I escaped from Six Big Family and managed to enter the demon realm.

After doing that I thought I would lay low in the demon world and live a peaceful life.

But things didn't go as planned...

Anyway, many things happen. I always found myself in unfortunate situations.

The most unfortunate situation was the moment I met the demon god of pride a month ago.

Yeah, it's been a month since I met the demon god of pride.

He exactly didn't appear in front of me in his true form but it didn't matter.

I don't know why the demon god of pride approached me and told me about 'Fate' and 'Karama' of mine.

But since then I haven't seen him even when I chant those words during mana breathing training.

Right! Since I talked about mana breathing training.

I made an outstanding amount of progress in my mana core capacity.

Also, something strange happened when I was training the Mana Breathing Method of the Boros Family.

===

Mana--> 938

===

A new status appears on my status window, that tells me how much mana currently I have.

'Strange? Why didn't this 'Mana Status' appear when the first time I opened the status window?'

I don't know the cause of this but with this, I can easily see how much I have in my mana core.

At the start when these windows appeared it showed [350] amount of mana.

So it went from this to [938] this.

The progress of very fast, if I have to say I might have surpassed the main characters from six big families in mana capacity alone.

But I wasn't sure since didn't know what was happening in the human world right now.

Let's stop talking about the human world, since I wasn't there there is no need to talk about it.

Anyway, As I continued to train and develop my mana capacity, I also focused on honing my combat skills and learning more about the demon world.

I spent countless hours sparring with other demons, studying ancient texts in the demon libraries.

But even as I made progress, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the back of my mind. The encounter with the demon god of pride had left me with more questions than answers, and I couldn't help but wonder what role fate had in store for me.

But what can I do? Even if try to search for those answers I won't receive one and I couldn't talk about this to anyone.

So for the moment I can't aside those thought and focused on my current problem

Yeah, I'm currently facing a problem and I don't know how to solve it.

Turning my head towards the I saw Rene standing there, she was looking at me with curious eyes.

'Not again!'

I groaned inwardly, and plastered a fake smile on my face and said

"Good morning, my lady."

"...!"

Then, Rene trembled and straightened her posture.

It has been like this ever since I received the symbol from the Demon God.

I wonder if I should be satisfied with the fact that, unlike before, I didn't leave the place.

'I think I know what the misunderstanding is.'

Rene saw the conversation between me and the demon god and dropped the word priest.

I couldn't help but laugh because I knew the meaning of that word.

If we were to compare it to the human world, it was a being similar to a saint.

Each of the Seven Deadly Sins families had their temple to worship the demon god.

In the temple, there was a person who could communicate directly with God, and in the demon world, they were called a priest.

Naturally, each family worships different gods, so there are many priests.

However, being called a priest was not common.

'The seven deadly sins, so there must be exactly seven priests.'

There were a total of seven priests.

It is impossible for the heads of the families representing the Seven Deadly Sins to directly communicate with demons, so isn't their treatment understandable?

Cale, who can kill me with just one finger, also cannot communicate with demon gods.

So, I immediately realized that the fact that I had a conversation with a demon god was a serious situation.

Because I was the one who created the setting there are very few beings who communicate with God.

'But I never thought I'd be mistaken for a priest... … .'

The position of priests in the demon world is similar to that of the heads of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Since it is comparable to Cale, Rene, who misunderstood me as a priest, would be annoyed.

I tried to correct Rene's misunderstanding and for a moment I thought I did but the next morning Rene started to act wired around me.

Seeing this unexpected situation tried again to explain to her that I was not some priest but I failed to do so.

So I left alone her in her own fantasy but it started to get annoying as she started to behave differently whenever we met.

I look back to Rene who seems to be nervous in my presence.

Sigh

A sigh escaped from my mouth at the sight.

For now, I'm Rene's escort, she should act like she is superior to mine if she didn't do that I might be in trouble.

If this continues a rumours will start to spread in the family and I don't want those rumours to go at Cale's ear.

He already considers me a spy from other deadly sin families because I survived after taking the Boros family mana breathing method.

Taking all of this into consideration I don't want more misunderstandings to arise.

"My lady."

I began speaking in a light voice.

Rene turned her head and looked at me.

"yes…"

Rene politely answered my call in a low voice.

I focused my thoughts on Renee's actions.

And I was sure.

Rene still thinks that I am a priest.

There was no way to know everything that Renee was thinking, but it was revealed in her body language.

I will take advantage of that in the future, but as far as Cale's surveillance is concerned, it is still impossible.

This situation must be resolved in a way that makes it seem natural.

"I think I know what you're thinking, but…"

A vague remark.

and-.

I put my index finger to my mouth.

"I hope you treat me like you treated me before."

"…!!"

Rene's eyes widened in surprise.

An expression that shows confidence that my hypothesis was correct and that was I'm trying to figure out what.

I didn't say any more than this and kept my mouth shut.

Because it didn't matter what Rene imagined.

If only we could get over the current situation.

Every series of actions is used to plan what lies ahead.

Rene hesitated for a moment.

"still…"

"Take it easy, My lady. You can speak freely to me.."

I smiled lightly and told Renee to speak at ease.

Then Rene continued speaking as if she understood.

"then…Please fetch me some water."

"… … ?"

"I'm tired from training."

I froze for a moment as I saw Renee sweeping her short hair back.

Rene looked at me and spoke in a tone filled with resentment.

"What? You were the one who told me to 'Take it easy'."

I couldn't help but chuckle softly at Rene's response. She seemed to be testing the boundaries of our current dynamic, and I couldn't blame her for feeling unsettled by the situation.

"Of course, my lady. I'll fetch you some water right away," I replied with a calm demeanor, hiding any hint of amusement in my voice.

Rene nodded curtly, her expression still guarded but slightly less tense than before. As I turned to leave, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was just the beginning of a series of challenges I would have to navigate in order to maintain the delicate balance of our relationship.

Heading towards the nearest water source, I took a moment to reflect on the events of the past month and a half. Despite the unexpected twists and turns, I had managed to survive and even thrive in the demon world. But with each passing day, the stakes seemed to grow higher, and I knew that I would have to stay vigilant if I wanted to continue to evade the attention of those who sought to manipulate or harm me.

Arriving back with a jug of water, I offered it to Rene with a respectful bow. She accepted it with a nod of thanks, her demeanor softening slightly as she took a sip.

"Thank you," she murmured, her voice gentler than before.

"It's my pleasure, my lady," I replied with a small smile, hoping to ease some of the tension between us.

As Rene drank her water, I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for us both. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, I was determined to carve out a place for myself in this world, even if it meant facing my fate head-on.

But for now, I would focus on serving Rene to the best of my ability and navigating the complexities of our relationship with care and caution. After all, in a world filled with demons and uncertainty, sometimes the smallest gestures of kindness and understanding could make all the difference.
