The next morning turned out to be very pleasant.

Of course, there was still the lingering smell of the disgusting demon, but that did not deter the good news.

"This is the item you were talking about. I don't know if this is correct..."

"I'm sure it is, Elena. I don't know how to thank you."

"No. I just did what I had to do."

'My precious...'

My hands had begun to tremble by just looking at it.

'My precious!!!'

Just having the ingredients prepared just for me made me feel good.

Of course, this was a treasure that could never be priced—though it was just a small amount of liquid in a small potion bottle, and a small leaf.

I could feel myself about to burst into laughter when I started thinking about the impact these catalysts would have in the future.

I wanted to get up and dance right now, but I couldn't afford to. Elena's expression did not look that good.

Of course, this was to be expected. I knew she had undergone a lot of thinking last night. Nevertheless, she still took it upon herself to give me this gift - and I was proud of her for it.

As I lifted my head once again to look at her, I saw her face, complete with swollen eyes.

I thought she would be okay, but she looked like she was having a harder time than I thought.

Her ears were drooping, and she still had unknown guilt on her face. It was obvious that this elf was kind by nature.

So far, guilt and a strange sense of betrayal had coexisted within her.

'How do I go about with this...?'

I was once again reminded of how cruel Elune could be.

It was all now spilt milk, and things had already happened. A heartbroken elf had been thrown away by the god she believed in. It was only right to get her out before she became unable to make a comeback. In the future, she would have to continue with me.

As I slowly held her hand, she flinched for a second. Seeing her reflexively trying to avoid my hand was also quite interesting.

Of course, in the end, she accepted my hand without avoiding it. The tingling pleasures of immorality once again covered her feelings of guilt.

I thought maybe things wouldn't get worse when she was talking, or was with me.

"About yesterday..."

"Yes... er... I'm sorry."

"No. It is not something for Elena-nim to apologize. I had the same feeling. And I think it was necessary."

"Ah..."

"I feel a little refreshed, but... of course, I don't know if I should call this as treatment, but it feels something different from before. How does Elena look at me now?"

"Come to think of it..."

"Yes."

"So, it was that. I... It was that."

'Yes... you're right. You are right.'

She didn't see me as someone utterly repelling anymore. Though I knew I still had some negative effect on her, at least she wasn't resisting the urge to gag like before.
