Side Story Episode 19
The Prince of Asdal could not rest due to the relentless pain.
Though his Mana had vanished and the ability of Magic Sight should no longer function, he kept experiencing a peculiar sensation similar to when he used Magic Sight.
“What troubles you?”
Archbishop Luzef, who had been sharing tea with him, asked. At this, the Prince of Asdal rose from his seat.
“I must visit the Magic Tower. I have a premonition that something unusual is unfolding.”
Archbishop Luzef gazed out the window with a contemplative expression. From the Flone Estate, the Magic Tower was visible at a glance—the very tower where Kaiden slumbered.
Both Archbishop Luzef and the Prince of Asdal were already aware that Margaret Rose Flone periodically inspected the Magic Tower.
And they had just heard news that she and Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid had visited the Magic Tower a few hours prior.
Archbishop Luzef rose from his seat to follow the Prince of Asdal.
“I shall accompany you.”

“This hardly constitutes payment. It remains insufficient.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid strode forward, seized Kaiden by the collar, and hurled him out of the Cave.
“Would it not be more fitting for the Lord to face me directly and settle the debt? Those monsters are beneath my notice.”
After that, a brutal battle commenced.
Crackle, crackle.
I sat before the Campfire, gazing blankly at the Sparks rising into the air.
Whoooosh—!
Outside the Cave, a tremendous gust swept through with a blizzard. I turned my gaze toward the swirling snow.
Through the blizzard, a black-haired man appeared. Against the pristine white snow, the man stained with crimson blood stood out with startling clarity.
One of the man’s severed arms was regenerating. It was both astonishing and grotesque—a sight that seemed unreal.
Soon after, Kaiden rushed at the man.
The two men continued fighting. Over me.
I reflected once more on why this situation had unfolded.
Where am I? Who am I?
Who was this black-haired man that he fought so fiercely to restore my memories?
And why did Kaiden desire me with such desperation?
Screeeech!
The sharp cries of monsters echoed from outside the Cave. Soon, the body of a serpent passing before the Cave entrance was torn vertically in half.
The black-haired man had bisected the colossal serpent with a Spear. To cleave such a massive Beast with nothing but a Spear.
At that moment, the man leaped up, seized Kaiden by the collar, and slammed him into the Floor.
Crunch, crunch, crunch—
The ground split open along with the snow.
Was such a thing even possible?
I rubbed my eyes and observed the scene once more. Could this truly be the strength of a human?
Then it happened.
“Heave!”
A child’s voice echoed from near the Cave Entrance.
“Phew. This is exhausting.”
Two small hands, delicate as autumn leaves, emerged above the Cave Entrance, which sat slightly higher than the surrounding terrain.
“Hnngh!”
Soon, a small boy appeared, his legs thrashing as he climbed up into the Cave Entrance.
Without thinking, I reached out toward the struggling child. As I slipped my hands under his armpits and hoisted him up, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Big sister!”
Watching the child’s cheeks flush with joy, I tilted my head in confusion.
“Who are you?”
The boy then reacted as though struck by a tremendous shock.
“Oh, oh no! How could you say that to Eun-ji…!”
Eun-ji?
I realized the name wasn’t unfamiliar to me. It was a name Kaiden had mentioned before.
“You’re Eun-ji? You’re my son?”
“Huh?”
The child, who had been on the verge of tears, suddenly widened his eyes and tilted his head.
“Will big sister be Eun-ji’s mommy?”
Then Eun-ji threw himself into my arms and laughed.
“Eun-ji likes that too.”
What is this fatally adorable creature?
After Eun-ji finished nuzzling, he climbed down from my embrace without hesitation and wiggled his fingers.
Then, glancing around, he wiped his forehead with his small hand.
It seemed he wanted to gesture at wiping away sweat, but in this bitter cold, there was no way he could be perspiring.
“Eun-ji was so tired. Kaiden threw Eun-ji away. Eun-ji came shivering in the snow. Kaiden is mean.”
The child named Eun-ji clearly wasn’t my son with Kaiden.
And he didn’t appear to be Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s child either.
Then what is his true identity?
Just then, Eun-ji grumbled while looking out at the noisy Cave Entrance.
“Sigh. Big sister is only one, but Enoch and Kaiden won’t share. Can’t they just split big sister fairly between them?”
“…Eun-ji. I can’t be split into two.”
At my words, Eun-ji’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Big sister can’t be split?”
Then what would work?
“But who are you really?”
“Huh? Oh, big sister, why are you pretending not to know Eun-ji?”
Eun-ji looked at me with a shocked expression, then his face grew dejected as if he’d thought of something.
“I guess. When Eun-ji was born, big sister tried to eat me. Did big sister hate Eun-ji again?”
“W-what are you talking about? I would never do that.”
“No! You did! Big sister said Eun-ji had lots of protein and licked your lips!”
“…That big sister must have been insane. That wasn’t me.”
What kind of person was my past self that she would consider devouring such a small child?
Could my past self have been… a murderer of some kind?
The color drains from my face in an instant.
“Then, do you remember Eun-ji, sister?”
“No. I’m sorry. I can’t remember anything right now. I have a feeling something will progress once I stop those men from fighting….”
“Gasp!”
Eun-ji looked at me with a startled expression as if she had never been dejected, then turned her gaze back outside the cave.
“Then Eun-ji will stop the fight!”
“You?”
“Eun-ji is stronger.”
Eun-ji reached out her small hand and patted my head.
“Anaconda apex predator, sister said so. Eun-ji is strong.”
I stared at the child without understanding her words. Eun-ji was a person, so why did she refer to herself as an Anaconda?
Moreover, had I really said something like that?
“Eun-ji. Does that mean you can become an Anaconda?”
“Yes! Eun-ji is a snake!”
After leaving those words behind, Eun-ji suddenly vanished. More precisely, the child disappeared and a single Anaconda with a thick body was crawling across the floor.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
I screamed in shock and bounced around, and the snake lifted its head to look at me.
A snake couldn’t possibly have an expression, yet somehow I felt it was hurt, so I stopped moving and stared at the creature.
The Anaconda seemed to have glistening eyes and looked upset. Without thinking, I cautiously approached the beast.
“You, you… could you be Eun-ji?”
In response to my question, the Anaconda tapped its tail against the floor with sharp sounds. It seemed to be a sign of affirmation.
Good heavens.
She wasn’t human.
In the meantime, Eun-ji inflated her body even larger.
Each time she did, I felt the aura within my body being drained away.
As I gasped for breath and collapsed onto the floor for a moment, Eun-ji crawled across the ground and exited the cave.
“Huff. U, Eun-ji… be careful….”
I sat weakly on the floor, reaching out my hand to call her.
Kuuuuuuuuuuung–!
A tremendous thunderous sound echoed and reverberated through the snowy mountain interior.
For a moment, neither Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid nor Kaiden nor Eun-ji appeared at the cave entrance.
Seeeeng-
Only the cold blizzard filled the noisy air, visible to the eye.
But shortly after.
Kwaaaack!
A sharp beast’s snarl echoed out. Then from the right side of the cave entrance to the left direction, a pure white snake cut through the blizzard and passed by rapidly.
It was too fast to see properly, but there was definitely a person clenched in the snake’s jaws.
“Good heavens.”
Startled, I hurried outside the cave.
I couldn’t understand why she was doing this, but my body continued to lose strength, and I eventually collapsed onto the snowy field again.
“Kaiden? Eun-ji?”
Come to think of it, I didn’t even know the name of the black-haired man.
Then I saw it—a massive pillar soaring high into the sky, or rather, Anaconda’s body. It was unmistakably Eun-ji.
Eun-ji lowered his head again and charged toward the Cave Entrance.
Crack.
He opened his enormous maw and spat out something that had been inside with a wet sound.
I sat dumbfounded in the Snowy Field, watching the two men tumble and roll across the ground at the Cave Entrance.
“Sister, did Eun-ji do well?”
Watching Eun-ji suppress those two monstrous men in a single stroke, I couldn’t close my mouth.
So the strongest being in this entire world was this creature all along?
What kind of person was I to have thought I could devour such a serpent?
