54.

‘I am not a summoned creature to be treated this way!’

‘I understand, so calm down. Right now, making these people understand Elinea’s situation is more important than you, so it couldn’t be helped.’

‘Even so, to send me back on your own whim!’

‘I’ll ask for your opinion from now on, so please shut that mouth of yours now, Pandeum.’

I was earnestly rubbing my thumb and middle finger together, trying to make a snapping sound, while listening to Pandeum chattering noisily in my head and Theor calmly soothing him.

“Eli, what are you doing?”

Because of Pandeum, Perioze’s sister, who had been sitting in the single seat across from Lloyd, came to sit next to me and asked.

“I’m trying to make a snapping sound. When I summoned that guy earlier, I drew blood from my thumb to summon him.”

If I could summon with this method, I wouldn’t need to draw blood from my thumb, and I wouldn’t waste time drawing summoning circles in urgent situations.

Theor said to me.

“I’ll teach you how to make the sound. But it would be better to discuss the summoning method with Pandeum again.”

At that, I stopped rubbing my thumb and middle finger together and nodded, saying I understood.

Then I continued speaking to the four people who didn’t properly know my secret.

“Anyway, I was a dark mage from another world, and when dark magic was being condemned as evil magic in that world, I lost my life to a close friend.”

“To a close friend?”

“What kind of crazy person does that.”

Caroline looked shocked, and Perioze’s sister raised her eyebrows.

Both of them were outraged by the fact that I had been killed by a close friend.

I was about to tell them that thinking about it now, he wasn’t the type to do such a thing without reason, but I stopped.

For some reason, I couldn’t even remember his name anymore, so what was the point?

“Call your summoned creature again.”

Then, Perioze’s sister crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows, and said.

“Pardon?”

“Summon him, that guy who’s as big as a mountain. I’ve reclaimed my seat, so you can bring him out again. I have things to ask. No, it would be better if the Grand Duke summoned him. I don’t want to see blood on your body.”

At Perioze’s sister’s words, Theor agreed and snapped his thumb and middle finger together, making a sharp sound.

Instantly, Pandeum appeared before us again.

He looked at Perioze’s sister sitting next to me, raised an eyebrow slightly, then went to sit in the empty seat across from Lloyd.

“So, why did you summon me again?”

Pandeum crossed his arms, leaned back against the sofa, and skillfully crossed his legs.

“It seems the place where you originally lived had no concept of etiquette toward royalty.”

Looking at Pandeum sitting in such a posture across from him, Lloyd raised one eyebrow and asked.

“Ah, there the Magic Tower and Temple are dominant… Anyway, even though Pandeum has a human appearance, he’s not human, so please understand generously, Your Highness.”

“Right. You people also don’t treat me, the King of Pandemonium, with proper…”

“Do you know who killed Elinea?”

Before Pandeum could finish speaking, Perioze’s sister suddenly interrupted and asked.

“…I know. He’s a summoner under my command.”

“Really? Go right now and bring that thing here.”

At Perioze’s sister’s sudden words, both Pandeum’s and my eyes widened simultaneously.

Pandeum looked at Perioze’s sister for a moment with an expression of disbelief, then snorted and said.

“Are you stupid?”

“What?!”

“I belong to Pandemonium, so I can move between this world and that world through summoners, but humans can’t. Can’t you tell from how your master died there and moved to this body?”

“Can’t you at least bring the soul? I just want to ask why he betrayed her.”

Perioze’s sister seemed curious about why my friend had killed me.

“It’s impossible.”

“You call yourself the King of Pandemonium. But you can’t even do that?”

“Being a king doesn’t mean I can do everything, stupid human.”

“Stupid human? How dare you say that to me, Perioze McKenzie?”

“Now you’re bringing up some trivial human name in front of me…”

As Perioze’s sister and Pandeum began bickering, Caroline looked at me cautiously and asked.

“Then, is the original Elinea dead?”

At that question, Perioze’s sister and Pandeum, who had been fighting over trivial matters, stopped talking.

And the gazes of Theor, Lloyd, and Greim focused on me.

“Ah… Well, I don’t know either. She’s probably dead…?”

Though it was a bit awkward, I tried to answer as if it didn’t matter.

Pandeum snorted at me and said.

“The master just can’t remember, but the ego is the same.”

At those words, everyone’s attention turned to Pandeum.

Pandeum raised his chin proudly and continued.

“Originally, possession and such things can only happen with the same ego.”

“Really…?”

Not quite believing it, I tilted my head slightly and asked, and Pandeum raised one eyebrow and said to me.

“Usually possession means being possessed by another ‘me’ living in a different dimension. Didn’t you graduate from Magic Tower Academy in your original world? That should be basic curriculum content.”

“…Ah, haha.”

I did graduate from Magic Tower Academy, but everything taught there was useless to me as a dark mage, so I attended half-heartedly and graduated.

Who knew they also taught about possession there.

But why does this guy know so much about it?

As if immediately catching my suspicious look, Pandeum frowned and said.

“To harmonize with summoners, I naturally had to learn everything about summoners in that world down to the bone.”

“I see.”

As I nodded in understanding, Pandeum twitched his eyebrows in displeasure and continued.

“Anyway, possession itself can’t happen unless the ego is the same. The fact that the master read about this world in books was just glimpsing another version of yourself’s life through that medium.”

“…Oh, is that how it works?”

“What’s important is that just because your body in the previous world died doesn’t mean this body is dead too. And you must have already felt it – that your face is gradually becoming the same as your original self.”

At that, I unconsciously shouted “What?!”

“When I first saw the master, I thought your appearance had changed a little, but you’re gradually returning to your original appearance.”

“Is that really true? Isn’t it just that this face became familiar as I looked at it?”

“How could that be? Anyway, it’s the master’s face, so wouldn’t the master know best?”

At Pandeum’s words, I couldn’t say anything and just blinked.

That was because I had never paid any attention to the appearance of the body I possessed from the beginning.

A normal person would surely be amazed or interested in an appearance different from their original self, but I felt no excitement at all.

Since my original self was also born with dark magic power and had black hair and black eyes, there was nothing to admire about different colored eyes and hair.

Anyway, if what Pandeum said was true, Elinea was a being with the same ego as my original self.

For some reason, that being disappeared and my original self took that empty place, so this face was also gradually becoming more like my original self.

And slowly enough that other people wouldn’t notice.

“The face of the Elinea I originally knew and the current Elinea’s face are exactly the same though…”

Caroline tilted her head and muttered, seemingly unable to understand Pandeum’s words.

Probably everyone who knew Elinea here – even Marquis Brencia, her father – wouldn’t know.

Since even I, the person involved, hadn’t realized it at all.

“Well, anyway, thinking that Elinea here didn’t die and that I and this body’s owner are ultimately the same person is somewhat reassuring.”

“What else is there to be anxious about?”

At my words, Pandeum asked with a puzzled expression.

“Well, since it’s not my body and not my life, naturally one day ‘I’ might suddenly disappear and the original Elinea might emerge.”

“You worry about the most trivial things, master.”

Pandeum chuckled, so I smiled awkwardly too.

“So that’s how it is.”

Greim, who had been silently listening to our conversation, nodded slightly and muttered.

Lloyd also rubbed his chin with his hand and said.

“It’s a situation that’s not common sense, so it’s confusing, but the world is overflowing with things that aren’t common sense. Anyway, since you say the original being and the current countess have the same ego, there’s nothing particularly problematic. However…”

Crown Prince Lloyd, who had been muttering as if talking to himself, soon raised his gaze to look at me and asked.

“The book about this place that you said you saw.”

Crown Prince Lloyd’s jewel-like blue eyes sparkled with light.
