The Evening Primrose
Chapter 11

"You won't be able to get out of here, loh~ Play with me any longer~"

What the hell is he talking about?

He confused me with his boy-like nature. In addition, the man who had been detained by him tried to release his embrace until the whole room was destroyed. There is nothing we can do while they fight.

"What is Eleonora?" ask Hartmut.

"It's true it's Eleonora, but somehow it's not like her."

He was confused by what I said just now. We rushed out of the room before the roof collapsed and found those who were fighting fiercely. What an incredible magic, I saw a light path similar to the aurora surrounding it along with a pink ball of light.

"Uncle! Let's play with me~" his chat.

"I can't let you ruin my plan because of you, you little boy!"

The shadow that He cast struck Nora in succession, but He was able to repel it without leaving any damage. We can't keep up with all the movements even though we've been trying to make our eyes and brains hurt.

While they were fighting, the three of us ran away from them and went away so as not to disturb them. Maybe it's a good choice, but on the other hand, we can't leave them both fighting to the death either.

"Right, run as far away as you can, Emma," he murmured. "Now it's just the two of us, Theodore. Do you want to tell me everything that happened to my family?"

Theodore remained silent and continued to attack Nora using both his shadow and physical attacks. Theodore was a servant who had served the Eleonora family for two generations before.

As a result of his unstoppable fury as his attack was repelled, a red shadow appeared and fused with his body. The pitch-black eyes, horns that appeared on his head, until long claws grew in his hands.

"So so?"

"Do you understand, Miss Eleonora? Servants have been serving your family since before you were born in this world."

"Then?"

"Isn't it time for you to serve a servant instead!? That's the agreement we've agreed with your late grandfather!"

Grandpa?

He briefly recalled the memories of his childhood with his grandfather. The days he spent reading books and telling stories with her about her illness. Then a shadow of fire appeared in his head, it made Nora's emotions uncontrollable and her nature changed.

"Isn't that evil, uncle? Making her remember her past is not what women love, tau~" With her sweet smile.

...****************...

"Where are we going?!" shout Zahra.

"I don't know either! The important thing is that we should stay away from them!!" balas Hartmut's.

Whatever it is, we need to stay away from them. It's very dangerous, I just found out that he can act like a kid like that. Several times we felt the ground shaking, it made us almost fall down a few times because it broke the balance.

"I'm tired, stop!"

I am so sorry I did not like sports. My legs felt a little pain and tired until sweat came out all over my body. For now we are safe because it is far away from them, it would be dangerous if the attack misses up to here.

Dust flew all over the room, covering our eyes and making it hard for us to breathe. However, something came to us with an invisible speed. The shadow of the man came to attack us.

But I was lucky because Hartmut protected me from the attack even though my hand was scratched. Actually, what was he after? Is that me? I just want to travel quietly, but, why should there be him at a time like this?

I took a very long breath and fled leaving them both.

"Hey! Why did you leave us!" Shouted Zahra who was following me.

We continued to run away from the shadow, and it was true that the shadow was eyeing me.

"You shouldn't come! I'm being chased!"

"Huh?" Zahra stop.

And what's going on? After Hartmut passed by, the shadow did not attack Zahra at all.

Apparently true! His inner.

If it's like this, I just need to run as far away as possible to avoid it. Endless labyrinth with winding roads, making my mind overworked. I have to let go or I'm going to be reckless.

Think on! Come, think!

I was too busy thinking about something, not realizing that the shadow was near and attacked my feet until it fell down and stopped right at the intersection. Maybe it's time to say goodbye.

But all of that doesn't just happen. There was something inside me, something hot that my body was filled with energy. I thought this was a fever, but, it doesn't seem like it.

I tried to stand up and take out the knife I carried with me. Trying to survive is all I have to do if I want to stay alive in this world.

"You're the one who's brave." Laughs grinning.

I have prepared the position of the horses by directing the split eyes to the shadow. Until the attack arrived, I felt a slow movement and could see all the movements of the shadow.

Immediately I placed my knife just to the left of the shadow and shifted it to the right. The wooden wall behind me shattered and penetrated into another room. Finally, I finally understood how to fend off his attacks.

I did it a few times and it all worked out. Then, what do I do next? This shadow was only the hand of the old man, so there was no way I could kill him from here.

It feels so good to be able to fend it off, it's like I'm inside the game itself. Then, what would happen if I just dodged without relying on a knife? And it doesn't seem to work.

Without a knife, the shadow gave me a wound on my thigh. It hurts so much, I can't scream because I have to stay focused to defend myself.

Until a while later, we were all teleported back to the abandoned house. I saw everyone was fine, and what surprised me was that Zahra stabbed the old man in the neck.

We were all confused how could he kill him so easily? Then what He answered was that He just had to go behind him and stab him, just like that.

And the body of the man burned and became a grain of dust. This is the end of his life. For some reason the story this time was a little short, I thought we would be stuck there even longer.

The atmosphere became a little strange afterwards.

"Nora?" I glanced at him

"Yes?"

From this I know that now it is his true nature. I asked her for information about the incident involving the three of us, but Nora could only quietly throw away her face because her past caused all this unrest.

If it was about the past, it would definitely be a long story. He had been confused by his choice, which is between telling it or not, but we decided to tell all this during the trip later. Soon the night will come, it will be dangerous if we continue to settle in a place like this.

"Wait a minute!" The voice of Nora appeared, but it was not He who spoke. "Don't leave me here!"

Suddenly a cute little girl appeared with her pink clothes and short white hair from Nora's body. I wonder how he came out of his body? Is this the power of another world?

In addition, He showed me a bracelet that He wore to me. It surprised me a lot, because what he was wearing was a bracelet similar to what I wear today, only it was pink.

"You're the same as me, loh~"

I don't know why I was so upset when He grinned and breathed as if He were a braggart.
