"Yes, I did not become a slave to revenge, everything was for his salvation."
Alpha's cheeks flushed slightly.
She displays a very sweet smile.
Normally, she always acts like a calm and trustworthy elite, but when it comes to Rei, she turns into a simple fangirl.
[He not only saved my people, but also my heart. If not for Rei, I would have been so broken.]
Alpha, who envisions her own IF series as the Dark Avenger, couldn't help but feel a lingering fear within.
Life is truly terrifying.
Even a single step makes a world of difference.
Her gratitude towards Rei was growing ever stronger.
She was given a new name, so she could escape the despair of the past.
She was given a new mission to find a goal that would make her move forward, and to get rid of confusion.
There are also new shelters.
Abandoned [Devil Enthusiast] girls like Alpha gathered together to form the [Dark Night Courtyard], which is the girls' new home after losing their sanctuaries.
Just before falling to the very bottom of despair, the dark prince pulled her back.
"I really don't know how to thank Rei. I can't repay this kindness even if I live a lifetime."
"What a sinful man... No, it's too early to call that boy a man."
CC couldn't help but complain as she saw Alpha resembling an innocent girl beginning to harbor new feelings towards him.
[By the way, if you are that popular at a young age, will you be popular when you grow up too?
[By the way, if you are that popular at a young age, will you be popular when you grow up too? Wow, he must be a very big jerk.]
The witch knows that all the members of the [Dark Night Courtyard] are girls right now.
And all of them yearn for Rei, who gave them salvation.
But if you insist.
This yearning is the key to saving the girls. Instead of hatred towards the cult, Rei himself becomes the pillar that keeps their hearts standing.
Especially for the seven girls whom Rei personally healed... especially for Alpha.
[Ahh~ It seems there is no hope, and I am completely dependent.]
CC looked at Alpha with astonishment. As a long-lived witch, how could she not see the elf girl's condition with her own eyes?
A completely hopeless situation.
That person has become her spiritual support. Even love is indescribable. This is a more advanced spiritual dependency.
[...I don't think today's pizza tastes very good. I wonder if it's because the ingredients are bad?]
CC suddenly felt a discomfort. Looking at the red-cheeked elf opposite her, she frowned slightly and spoke without knowing why.
"...Alpha, it's okay for you to follow Rei, of course, but... don't fall in love with him. That's the witch's advice for you."
"What's the meaning?"
Alpha couldn't help but be surprised. Whether it was a genuine kindness or a deception, the witch's advice had instinctively made her unhappy. Why couldn't she fall in love with that person?
Alpha: [I, I haven't fallen in love yet, I'm just
Alpha: [I, I haven't fallen in love yet, I'm just curious... That's all.]
Although CC looks like she is only 17 years old, she has an indescribable temperament, like a long-time traveler who has wandered and experienced countless things.
No, it must be more than that!
Travelers only wander around different cities, while witches wander through history, souls settled in the endless years brought by immortality.
This woman, with a unique appearance,
Is resistant to the [wear and tear] brought by time.
In those eyes that seem indifferent to everything, there was an indescribable sadness and loneliness.
It was as if she had seen so many tragedies that the melancholy in her eyes had become deeply ingrained.
Because what such a person would say would make people feel justified in a way they couldn't understand, Alpha felt she had to ask directly.
"Why can't I fall in love with him?"
"Because you cannot move his heart."
"Diverse?!" (Note: The original Turkish word "Çeşitli" here likely means "What do you mean?" or "Say what?")
The witch looked into the distance and spoke as if mocking something.
"Don't you think it's unfair? His every move can touch your heart, a compliment can make you happy all day, a smile can make your heart race, and a touch can cause you to collide with each other."
"....."
CC walked next to Alpha.
She slightly narrowed her eyes and pointed her finger at the elf girl's heart. What the witch said were truths that Alpha could not refute.
"What about you? Can you make Rei's heart beat? That man's heart is harder than stone. Have you seen his strong will with your own eyes?"
The witch looked into the elf's eyes.
The question spoken shook the latter greatly.
"Alpha, do you have enough self-confidence to let Rei fall in love with you?"
The answer is no.
Absolutely not!
Alpha is very confident in her appearance, but if she lacks self-confidence, Rei will be impressed by her. But will that person truly love her?
She was one of the girls he saved, and he was in the position of the person she admired and looked up to, so it was impossible for her to feel confident.
The elf girl lowered her head with a complicated expression, clenched her small hands, and after a few seconds of silence, spoke as if she had realized something.
"It doesn't matter."
"Huh?"
"I received many things from him, including information, power, a name, and shelter. Right now, I'm not entitled to ask for more. All I can do is... try to repay this kindness in the best way possible."
Even if he doesn't like me... no, it doesn't matter! This feeling does not need to be reciprocated, and I am not entitled to ask him to reciprocate.
CC's eyes widened slightly.
I didn't expect Alpha to be so aware.
A one-sided devotion without expecting anything in return, what a touching spirit of devotion.
But it is truly a shame to want to be a simp at such a young age.
"I think it would be better for you to be greedy. This, that, whatever. Anyway, that boy is very fond of his people. Maybe he'll give you a concubine in the future."
"Really, really?!"
"...Let's pretend I didn't say anything."
CC's eye twitched.
Is it really right to be so humble?
From the witch's point of view, it is easy to see that she will have a dazzling beauty that will enchant the entire country in the future, but in the end, she is content with just being a concubine.

[Eh~ A smart person never falls in love... I guess no one can say this better than me. I feel like I'm mocking myself as I say this.]
