Chapter 103

In fact, this is how I was able to appear suddenly. I consulted with Isaac and put a function in Mirisa's notification card.

If the notification box detects the danger of Mirisa, the alarm will also go off in my notification box.

I was preparing for a conference in a stationery store when I heard a beeping sound in my ears. I jumped up.

Who is bullying our cute, precious, small, and weak Mirisa!

But there was something I hadn't thought of… Even if I sensed danger, there was only a limit to what I could do.

Dominic hasn't come out yet, and I'm just an alchemist who hasn't fully blossomed his abilities yet.

Clearly aware of my limitations, I made up my mind by packing several self-defense tools that I had made in advance. The moment I thought I should send a message to Dominic and ask him to come here, Isaac appeared inside the stationery store. I was worried that he might have been fired from the Mage Tower, and this man would come to my stationery store every day.

"Do you need help, Mel?"

Isaac smiled lowly as he saw me, armed with thick cloth and holding something like a large iron pipe in my hand.

"How did you know?"

"Mel gave me a notice too, didn't she?"

Isaac grinned and shook the parchment.

"Oh!" Only then did I remember a memory I had forgotten. On the day I gave Mirisa a reminder, she asked me to make another one.

"Isaac should have this too!"

And I wrote "What to do: If Meldenik is in danger, protect me," in crooked handwriting.

"Inject mana into this, sister!"

Thrilled by Mirisa's warm heart, Isaac struck the parchment before I could accept the notice.

"Yes, I'll do it."

A small light flowed from Isaac's fingertips.

That's how the three notification cards were created so that they could detect each other's dangers.

"I'm here to protect Mel as Mirisa said." Isaac put down the parchment paper on the table. On the notice card, a long completion line was drawn over the crooked handwriting written by Mirisa. The completion line was drawn, which meant that the magic was cast.

"I've also cast a simple tracking spell here." Isaac spoke quietly.

I stared at the notice. In addition to tracking magic, which was only activated in emergency situations, there was even a simple location tracking magic. On the notification card, the words 'Academy Interview Room' began to be written.

"That's why… Mirisa is at the academy, isn't she?"

"Yes, I think so."

He opened his mouth at my grandiose words. "Then let's go kill each other together."

I nodded vigorously. Soon after, his large hand slowly overlapped my small, white hand. The hand that was tightly wrapped around me was not warm or soft, but it was reassuring.

After that, it was easy. The first thing I started with was invisibility magic. After holding his hand tightly, my body felt cold and transparent.

"Shall we go for now?"

"Yes, don't be late."

And we could see the professor, Mirisa, Axion, and Carat, and the three of them talking. The flowers on the table were also suspicious, and the coffee he served was even more suspicious.

If you recommend coffee to young children, you must have something in it. You're a crazy person.

It's not that it's not, but my eyes are still rolling. I approached the professor quietly, without making even the slightest sound, so that he would not feel uncomfortable.

And perk! With a sound, the professor hit my fist and fell neatly to the floor. That's a brief summary of what has happened so far.

I looked around. As I said, Axion and Carat grabbed the professor's arms and bound him. I sat Mirisa, who looked like her head was hurting, on a chair and said stiffly to Isaac.

"Isaac."

"Yes."

"He, please don't commit suicide or anything."

Now it was time to start the interrogation.

What the hell is this person's purpose? I'll find out what the hell they want and what exactly is behind it.

We drew the curtains and hung the security magic tightly to prevent any possible distractions. After checking the gloomy flowers on the table, I began my interrogation with my arms crossed.

"What happened?"

"I'm going to use memory regeneration magic."

At Isaac's words, I nodded seriously. And soon the memory of this man began to play in front of Isaac's eyes. And I was shocked. He pretended to be a good professor and wore a mask, but he was a thief.

You were completely crazy, weren't you?

In the midst of their deep astonishment, Axion and Mirisa tilted their heads.

"What is that? Did the professor steal?"

Isaac spoke quietly. "I will keep the children out of sight." He kept the children's eyes in the dark for a while so that Mirisa, Axion, and Carat could not see them.

I blinked and looked ahead. "Soon, there will be a more serious scene." My prediction was correct.

After that, more shocking scenes followed. The scene begins with pretending to be faithful and visiting the temple and stealing holy water, then kidnapping children at the academy and freeing them for money. And the scene where he pretended to help poor commoner children go to night school and then extorted money from them behind the scenes unfolded vividly in front of his eyes.

I was puzzled by the memory that came out like a radish (meaning, in a jumbled, unexpected way).

Unlike me, Isaac was not too embarrassed, and said quietly to Carat.

"This is the kidnapper you've been looking for, Carat."

"You're crazy, Lord Matop! How hard I suffered because of the kidnapper!"

"That's right. Now you think your mission has been completed well?"

Carat clenched his fists and began to curse at him. "I'm happy about that, but no, whoa… Very bad, dirty, dirty bastard! You kidnapper!"

…Where did that little kid learn such a scary word?

Carat ground his front teeth the size of a corn seed and clenched his fists. My thousand characters (meaning, a complex expression of anger) were drawn on my forehead.

I gently opened Carat's brows and said, "Calm down, Carat."

I looked at the kidnapper again. The warm half-moon smile on the corners of his mouth disappeared, leaving only a cold, cold look in his eyes.

It was then.

"There is a gap in my memory. It seems that it was erased by something… It seems like an important scene, so let's check it out." Isaac said briefly to me.

And the video began to appear. The other person's face was not clearly visible, as if it had been painted with black maca. However, human memory is complicated. Memories that cannot be erased even with magic will remain.

I stared at it and could see pink hair on my chest.

Pink hair… Sheria, right?

There were not one or two people in the social circle with pink hair, but I could intuitively tell that it was Sheria. The other person continued speaking in a voice that was modulated like a machine.

"I know you're a rumored kidnapper at the Academy."

"Hey, how do you do that?"

To the professor who was sweating profusely, Sheria offered him a cup of tea. "I'll cover you, so drink this for now."

The professor hesitated for a moment, then drank the holy water that Sheria gave him at once. Eventually, the professor clutched his heart tightly as if in pain. A strange pattern was engraved near the professor's wrist. The woman said coldly to the professor.

"Feed this to Princess Mirisa Hesmann. And tie her up pretending to be kidnapped."

It was a low whisper, as if brainwashing.

"The kidnapping in front of the academy that you committed… I have someone to turn it all upside down." The despicable laughter was disturbed.

"That pattern is a brainwashing magic circle, a very old ancient magic." Isaac's words made me squint.

As expected.

He spoke quietly. "It seems that there is something in the holy water to brainwash them."

Isaac and I looked at each other. Now I knew for sure. Sheria was going to kidnap Mirisa through that holy water and then put the charges on me.

I frowned and spat out profanity. "You were trying to sell such dirty brainwashing material on a grand scale. And even to children. If the affair hadn't been discovered, they would have already sold it, like this garbage…"

Sheria, are you serious? Aren't you that low? I didn't expect them to try to properly use children like this, let alone blaming me for the crime. Did I expect too much morality from adulterous couples?

With my nervous voice, all the magic was over. And the literature professor, exhausted all his energy, fainted in his seat, showing his whites.

I looked at Isaac with bewildered eyes. "Originally, if a person who has been subjected to brainwashing magic suffers a severe blow to their mind, they will die or faint. Fortunately, this is the latter."

With my arms crossed, I glared coldly at the professor, or rather, the kidnapper.

"What should I do with this person? He was brainwashed, but he was originally a trashy kidnapper."

Isaac whispered low so that the children could not hear him. "Should I kill him right away?"

Of course, he deserved to die. It's quite suspicious to dare to kidnap children. But…

"Or why don't you let him live for now, but make him our spy for the next few days?"

"Spy?"

"I think I'll give you a chance to do one last good deed before you die." My eyes became shaped.

"That's how it is." Isaac suddenly raised his fist and thrust it into the professor's pure white arm. The professor groaned as if he was in pain even though he was unconscious.

…This is a Dominic specialty. Wasn't this man rational to begin with?

I looked at his blunt face in confusion. Is he half angry with the kidnapper? No, it was a more intense anger. I felt a stronger grudge.

Isaac spoke quietly. "Let's start brainwashing."

"Okay."

"But even if you brainwash them well, they won't last long. Perhaps the Holy Water contains the power of the Pope."

"It's okay. Because a few days is enough."

I had a place to use it well for a few days. The stage was being created for my successes, their failures, and the reversal between the Pope and my Kinnoa blood relatives, including me.
