In the midst of the silent temple.

Wood looked at the person in front of him and shook his head, but didn't say anything, but left the hall where his idol was enshrined.

"What is Rozval looking for you? How can it be so mysterious? Beatrice, who was outside the hall, asked with some confusion when she saw Wood come out.

"Nothing."

Wood laughed: "It's just a madman who worships God for the sake of demons." ”

Beatrice was stunned, a little confused by the meaning of Wood's words, but she didn't ask more.

"But you've been waiting for me here." Wood smiled, "Do you cherish the last moments with me so much?" ”

"Are you an idiot?"

Beatrice glanced at Wood with disdain: "Betty just wonders what Rozval wants to do when he looks for you like this, no matter what, he is also the descendant of Betty's acquaintances, in case he is led astray by you, Betty can wake him up in time." ”

"Offspring?"

A flash of disdain flashed in Wood's eyes.

He seldom despised a person so much, because Wood knew that he was definitely the most despicable kind of person, and he could treat anyone as a bargaining chip without mercy, and in order to save his life, he could throw the elderly, babies, and women out without hesitation.

but

His family is definitely not in his bargaining chips, let alone his direct descendants.

Rozval, who constantly snatched the bodies of his direct offspring......

Just a complete lunatic!!

Wood glanced back at the rear hall.

In the dimly lit temple, Rozval still stood there, looking at the card in his hand.

No matter how despicable Rozval may be, his madness is only good for himself, not bad.

The corners of Wood's mouth hooked slightly.

Maniacs believe in the devil, this kind of combination is very suitable, isn't it?

The more people like that, the happier Wood becomes.

"What's wrong?"

Beatrice looked at Wood's indescribable weird smile and frowned: "What are you thinking about when you laugh so disgusting?" ”

Wood withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his head, and said lazily: "If the wicked don't think about bad things, do they still think about good things?" Let's go! Before he could finish speaking, Wood had already taken the lead in the direction of the mansion.

Beatrice glanced back at the hall and shook her head.

In her opinion, the only people who can get Betty's special treatment are the original Rozval, except for Rozval, who has the same memories as herself, the others are fakes that call themselves Rozval; No matter what the other party chose, Betty had no interest in understanding and correcting it.

……

For the rest of the day, Wood stayed in the forbidden library as usual.

The time he has been in this world is not long, it is not too short, and if the reset time is included, it is almost two months.

But in the past two months, the only people he knew were a small number of people in this mansion, and there was no need to say goodbye to these people, they were just passers-by.

As for Buzz and Aina......

Wood didn't go to say goodbye to them!

Continue.

Even though he knew that his parting would make them sad, Wood preferred to leave silently than to see them sad in person.

But......

Wood swallowed and moved the book down in his hand, revealing a gap to look at Beatrice next to him.

What the hell is wrong with this girl?

Beatrice sat in front of the door with a book as usual, but her attention was clearly not on the book in her hand, because ...... The book has been reversed; Moreover, the god he had placed on the table was nibbled on as a dessert just now......

There wasn't a bit of wood left.

Watching the statue containing his soul breath being eaten up at such a close distance made Wood feel empathy.

"The ......"

Wood hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask if the girl had been stimulated by something, or if the great aunt, who had been four hundred years late, had finally arrived?

Doesn't it mean that when women come to their aunts, they have a bad temper?

"Do you read?"

"Huh?"

The corners of Wood's mouth twitched slightly, and Beatrice's sudden speech startled him.

And also......

Can anyone tell me!

How would someone answer if someone stared at you with bloodshot eyes and asked if you could read?

Wood nodded solemnly, and said with great seriousness: "Look, I will watch what you ask me to watch......

“……”

With a twinkle in her eyes, Beatrice got up and walked to her room, returning with a book in her hand.

Well?

Wood's brow furrowed slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

This book......

"What do you see?"

Beatrice raised the book in her hand and looked unconcerned, but at a glance she could tell that she was nervous.

Wood didn't speak, his gaze slowly shifting from the book to Beatrice's face, a look of complexity on his face.

The Book of Wisdom!

Even if he didn't take the book, Wood would know the name of the book, and even ...... Be able to guess what's in it.

Because if this book were held by Wood, who did not belong to this world, it would only be a blank space.

What doesn't make Wood understand now is ......

Why did Beatrice give this book to herself!

Or rather......

I already understand, but I don't know how to react.

Wood had never looked forward to the appearance of his succubus physique as much as he did now, and if he was a succubus in charge of love and lust now, he would probably take this book without hesitation, no matter how heavy the meaning behind it.

But Wood can't do that now.

Because

Once you take the book...... It means that he will be the 'person' that Beatrice has been waiting for.

After all

He wasn't the 'man' Beatrice had constructed, and Wood knew he would never be what Beatrice intended.

So......

Wood slowly stood up and reached out to take the book.

Beatrice's expression froze, and there was an expression on her pretty face that she didn't know whether to be happy or lost.

And at this very moment.

“Fire· Ball! ”

A golden ball of fire appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire book, and the steaming heat filled the entire forbidden library in the blink of an eye.

The technique in the book fell apart, and Beatrice didn't wait for any reaction......

The book,

It has been reduced to ashes and scattered away.

The book that had been spread enough to make the world crazy and that it could predict the future and give hints was lost before Beatrice's eyes.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Beatrice thought that she would be like a madwoman, childish and ridiculous, to rush forward and fight the man who burned her mother's relics, but ......

Wrath?

Lose?

Sadness?

……

For some reason, Beatrice didn't feel these emotions.

But there was no joy either.

Because Wood had already given her the answer.

Or rather......

The answer is already there.

(Forget about 'that person' and don't have hope that anyone will be 'that person.' ）

A passer-by in a long life.

That's the answer Wood gave her.

"Beatrice."

Hearing her name, Beatrice subconsciously turned her head to look, but what caught her eye was a finger that quickly pressed on her eyebrows.

Jutsu Cloth!

Although this artifact's immobilization technique can't fix Beatrice's time, this moment is enough.

Beatrice only felt that everything around her was gradually starting to distort, and by the time she came back to her senses, she had already appeared in the hall of the mansion, surrounded by the surprised eyes of the twin maids and Natsuki Pleiades, and she didn't understand why she was here.

Beatrice was stunned for a moment, then her face changed slightly, and she already understood what Wood wanted to do.

"That bastard!!"

Between the words, she subconsciously wanted to use her ability, but ...... The door of opportunity created by her own ability seemed to have appeared on top of an iron door, and no matter how she tried, this door would not move.

Even......

Beatrice could clearly feel that the subspace where the forbidden library was located was rapidly collapsing and dissipating, and all connections with the mansion were completely lost at this moment.

At the same time, the contract that he had held out for four hundred years, and even prepared to end it all by dying, was invalidated at this moment.

But Wood, who had broken the contract in another way, did not appear, as if he had disappeared into the subspace along with the forbidden library.

(Yo!) Turning away a knocking guest is probably rude, right? ）

broke in with a cheap to the extreme, and left in a cheap way.

That's it......

Don't you want to sign a symbiotic contract with Betty?
