chapter 30
030. Vacation, Blackfire Mansion (1)
I had a sudden thought.
If the world line had been distorted from the time I entered this world, what would the Blackfire family look like?
It is only mentioned in the original game, but the Blackfire family does not appear until the end.
Since I served the demons, I wondered if they had appeared at least once, but no matter how much I recalled, no one from the ‘Blackfire’ family had ever appeared in the game.
So I’m more curious. No, worry comes first.
What is Blackfire doing?
If it was twisted, did it affect them as well?
What if that means worshiping the demons again?
Then I can’t be free either?
You can stay still and be dragged away.
Should I cut my hands?
A thousand worries bit the tail of the tail.
In the end, there was only one answer.
‘Let’s go and check.’
After all, spending the whole vacation here without doing anything is sure to get boring in a week.
It’s happy to kill without thinking, but if you want to live as a black fire in this world, it’s essential to know the state of your family.
“what… … Is that the content, Bocchan?”
Dalglish asked as I looked at the letter with a serious face.
“The head of household had a serious expression just like the young master.”
Annie didn’t forget to add a comment.
It seems that Dalglish and Annie did not know the contents of the correspondence.
“Come to the mansion. It’s vacation.”
“Uhm, indeed.”
“It’s vacation, so of course.”
Dalglish and Annie shook their heads.
The two muttered in a voice that only the two could hear, but I wasn’t particularly curious about what they were talking about. It’s probably about renting a carriage.
“… … Would you like to return to the mansion?”
“Do you want to go back?”
“yes. I’ll pack it up tomorrow.”
Dalglish decided on the time, figuring things out. After packing everything in the morning, we decided to leave for lunch.
“Yes, then have a good night, Master Aren.”
“please. sweet dreams.”
Dalglish and Annie bow politely. A gentle, youthful smile was a bonus.
I left their greetings and went up to the dormitory.
* * *
It’s a pleasant morning. What a vacation!
After I opened my eyes, I immediately washed and packed my things. There was not much luggage to pack.
After saying goodbye to my roommate who said she would stay one more day and unpack, I went down to the first floor of the dormitory.
By the way-
‘What is this… … .’
As soon as I went down to the first floor, I wanted to find a mouse hole. Damn, I couldn’t lift my head.
“Oh oh! You came down early! Also, there is no law of perception. young master!”
“Give me your luggage.”
“ha… … .”
I wiped my face with the palm of my hand.
What kind of wagon in the world caught my eye like that?
black and red.
These two color combinations stand out no matter where you put them, but if the carriage pulled by two handsome black horses is that color… … .
buzz buzz.
Of course, aggro is bound to be attracted.
“Because it is the first vacation of the noble Blackfire, I specially… … .”
“Dalglish. Next time, never do something like this.”
“yes? young master?”
“It stands out too much.”
Dalglish looked back at the carriage. Soon after, he tilted his head and replied that he would understand with the tone that he did not understand but understood.
After leaving my luggage with Annie, I got on the carriage. While riding, he maintained an upright posture, but in the carriage he lowered his head in shame.
While I couldn’t raise my face in the carriage, Dalglish and Annie carried my luggage one by one as if they didn’t care about the eyes of the people around them.
In a very relaxed, leisurely manner.
In the meantime, I tried to maintain an attitude befitting the Blackfire family by keeping my back upright, as if I was paying attention to the male gaze again.
“I’m really excited.”
I couldn’t raise my head in the carriage until I left the academy.
.
.

After passing through the warp gate, the view was wide open. The neighborhood was land with nothing.
“Is it only three months? welcome. young master.”
“I am glad you are back.”
Dalglish and Annie refreshed the atmosphere and opened the carriage window. The air was cool.
In a wide field of reeds, there was a road the size of a carriage, and at the end of it stood a huge mansion.
‘Is that Blackfire Mansion?’
It was a dark mansion, in stark contrast to the seemingly endlessly peaceful land.
Literally, the word ‘ominous’ seems to fit well.
As the Blackfire mansion came into view, Dalglish said with a slightly raised tension.
“Even though it’s only been three months, you’ll be quite surprised that you’re putting a lot of effort into repairing the mansion.”
“There are still many areas that are lacking.”
Dalglish continued, saying that it was only after the probation was lifted that he was able to hire experts and spend money in earnest.
“We need to hire more people.”
“I would also like to hire a maid.”
“Are you lazy already, Annie?”
“It can’t be.”
The wagon rattled, and Annie quietly said that she had a little time. The conversation between the two continued.
Then, as if I was too quiet, the two started talking to me again.
“Lady Agnes also entered the Magic Tower in Weypal as an apprentice witch fifteen days ago.”
“He asked me to say my regards to the young master.”
“… … Right.”
He’s someone I’ve only heard from the two of them from time to time. Agnes Blackfire.
Although she is my older sister, she said that she regretted not being able to enter the academy because of her age. Since he entered the final goal, the Mage Tower, he must have been satisfied with the result.
By the time the trivial conversation was finished to some extent, the carriage entered the entrance of the mansion.

Kiyi Iik-
The mansion’s front door opened slowly. The creepy sound of the iron door greeted me first.
The next sight was quite heterogeneous.
It was because of the blue Burundi flowers that filled the vast garden of the gloomy and uninhabited mansion.
‘It was this.’
It is said that the Burundi flower contains some mana, so if you use it for cooking or make an extract, mana builds up in your body.
… … The drug that Annie always brought me was an extract of the Burundi flower.
“How is it! young master! As soon as probation was over, the first thing your wife hired was a gardener.”
“Isn’t it pretty?”
Was it because of this that I would be surprised?
Hagiya, judging from the exterior of this mansion, there would have been no haunted house before the probation was lifted, so it is surprising that so many flowers have bloomed in itself.
“My wife has started gardening in earnest. You are very satisfied.”
“You are very beautiful, like your wife.”
“… … .”
I threw my arms over the carriage window and looked at the Burundi gardens.
well, that’s pretty
Of course, only the Burundi flower fields were like that.
The iron door creaks and makes a terrible sound. On the outskirts of the mansion, there were several barn-like buildings that looked like they had been renovated for decades, and dead vines were messily tangled on the walls of the buildings.
Literally looking at the outside, it was no different from a haunted house where no one lived.
If it hadn’t been for the brightly bloomed flowers, it would have been a truly terrifying scene.
But I felt like this was a gimmick. To draw attention to the splendid flower garden and divert one’s eyes from that dark mansion.
After admiring the dreary scenery, the carriage finally stopped in front of the front door of the mansion.
“Are you here, young master? It’s only been three months.”
The one who greeted me was an elderly butler who looked like Dalglish.
The odd thing is that the two look very similar.
I guessed that Dalglish were twins and opened the status window.
Name: Vilglish Palemon
Gender: male
Age: 61
Character: ???
specialty: ???
Stats: [Strength: 3] [Agility: 2] [Stamina: 3] [Luck: 3]
Power: [5/5]
My name is Bill Glish. Seeing as Dalglish and I are the same age, we are twins.
“Bilglish.”
I called his name and walked naturally into the house.
Dalglish and Annie were in charge of moving the luggage, and Billglish was the guide. It seems that Billglish is in the highest position among the servants of this mansion.
I passed the dark and huge hall and took the stairs to the second floor.
Creaking and the sound of stone breaking could be heard all over the house. A few carpenters and marble workers roamed the house.
There was indeed a brisk renovation going on.
When I arrived at the second floor, there were a lot of rooms. There were more than 10 that I could see right away, but I couldn’t figure out how many more would come out as I passed through the hallway.
“I was told not to touch the master’s room, so I cleaned it every day.”
Billglish said as he opened one of them. It was my room.
“Master went on a trip to the northern provinces ten days ago. He said that he will be returning this evening, so please rest your travels until then. I took the bath water.”
Unlike Dalglish, he didn’t flinch, which I liked.
Shall we say that it is a ‘real’ black fire, not an absurd way of speaking or acting?
It’s a sense to receive hot bath water. As a servant, it’s 10 out of 10.
“Then, I’ll call you at mealtime. May you rest in peace.”
He politely bowed his back slightly.
“thank you.”
“… … !”
Billglish hesitated. He raises his eyes and looks at me slightly.
“After going to the academy, you’ve become quite an adult. good. Whoops. then.”
He smiled benevolently and closed the door.
I guess it’s such a strange thing for me to use honorifics.
I looked around the room.
The first thing that catches your eye is the unified interior in royal blue.
Everything from the curtains to the blankets to the soft lighting and various writing utensils were unified in royal blue.
This is enough to make me wonder if it’s obsessive compulsive disorder. Rather, my appearance in the dormitory was at least ‘less’ neat.
Still, looking at it, the taste of the original owner of this body was not so bad. The interior of the room, which was unified in royal blue, was subtly close to my taste.
Or do you like being possessed by this body?
“Well, not bad.”
I walked slowly and looked around the large room.
I opened the cupboard and wiped the blanket with my hand. There was not even dust in the cracks in the windows.
A personality that must have been fussy was buried everywhere in the room.
A simple writing instrument was positioned at an angle, and the duvet cover was spread out as if it had been ironed.
The attendants must have had a hard time waking up every morning.
I pretended to look around the room, trying to check for anything suspicious.
Things like traces of magic and secret conspiracies. But I couldn’t find anything in my room. It’s strange to want to find something in a living space like this.
rippling.
If you go across the back of the bed, you will find a bathtub. The marble bathroom was the king of nobility.
Seeing the warm smoke rising, an irresistible desire boiled over.
Wouldn’t it be true happiness to wash one’s body in warm water?
To organize my thoughts, I threw myself into the hot pleasure without hesitation.
“Ugh-”
The chuimsae was strong in the middle of the day. The water temperature was perfect.
“This is it.”
The facilities in the dormitory were good, but what about the bathtub provided in the mansion?
Did they say that even if the rich go bankrupt, the third generation will go?
Blackfire, these guys were living pretty well despite being sober for 100 years. I had to live as if I was dead, but it seems that there was no problem in living with the wealth I had already accumulated.
Although the mansion looked dreary from the outside, the interior was well maintained.
“Hmm.”
So I have no choice but to be more suspicious.
It’s because they acted like a ruined family on the outside, but in fact they still exuded the atmosphere of worshiping demons.
However, despite its hideous appearance, there is no shady demonic energy felt in the mansion itself.
Not yet.
Since they are the worshipers of ‘Diamon’, they should be able to deceive as many things as they like.
I’ll have to figure out if there are any problems while staying at the mansion this vacation.
“I should raise the level of the status window and read Necrotula from time to time.”
While staying at the mansion during the vacation and planning what to do, it was evening time before I knew it.
Judging from the bustle of the first floor, it must have been that my parents had arrived.
just as expected.
A few minutes later, Annie came to my room.
“young master. What was the water temperature like?”
For a moment, I remembered the story of Mureungdowon, a hair salon, and barely suppressed a laugh that almost burst out.
“It was good. Thank you.”
“It’s not something I did.”
“… … .”
Annie keeps… … ?
I mean, it’s oddly funny.
She says that kind of thing well with a blunt face.
“Rather, the master has returned. I’m preparing dinner right away, so please change your clothes and come down.”
Annie gently placed her new clothes on the bedside and left the room.
I didn’t know much about it when I was living at the academy, but seeing me wait on me like this, I finally realized that I was an aristocrat.
It’s a bit bewildering to see Annie, who used to be erratic, working quietly. It’s good that I’m comfortable.
I changed my clothes and went down to the first floor. Annie, who was waiting, led me to the restaurant.
‘The house is filthy and big.’
It’s a mansion, it felt like a palace.
It took quite a while to get to the restaurant.
Passing through the dark hallway, I saw the soft candlelight dancing.
The sound of utensils colliding is heard. It seems that he has already started eating.
When I entered the dark dining room, several servants, including Billglish, worked diligently, waiting on my parents. The sound of cutting meat with a knife rang out.
But even a simple conversation could not be heard.
I want this to be an aristocratic meal.
well, everything is good I like the quiet atmosphere of this mansion. Because I’m uncomfortable talking to myself.
The only downside is that it’s too dark.
It would be nice to open the window and let in the moonlight, but I would close all the curtains and eat with only candles.
Guess who isn’t Blackfire.
The atmosphere is once desolate.
I tend to enjoy dark things too, but I thought this was a bit too much.
The more I looked, the more shady it seemed, the more ominous forebodings seemed to get closer.
sat down in a chair
My parents didn’t care if I sat down or not.
Just cut a steak and drink some wine. Concentrate on eating as if talking is a luxury. They were preoccupied with the meal itself.
It is difficult to even speak at first.
‘Should I say hello first… … ?’
The atmosphere was so damn right that the dining room felt uncomfortable.
While thinking alone, I glanced at people.
They seemed quite used to this desolate atmosphere rather than uncomfortable. Both my parents and attendants seemed quite familiar with this situation.
I couldn’t help but think that the original atmosphere was like this.
‘Let’s stay alert.’
Seriously, it could be dangerous for a family that still worships demons.
I eventually took up the knife to act naturally. Imagining I’m Blackfire.
cut the steak It was the moment when he took a piece of meat with a fork and brought it to his mouth.
My father, Sieg Blackfire, put down the bloody wine,
“Aren.”
called me right away
The candle light gently burns my body.
A candle flickered in Sieg Blackfire’s dark eyes.
Her pale skin was as white as the moon shining in the night sky, and her black hair overflowed with luster.
I definitely look like this guy. As a son, of course.
However, there was one difference. This person’s dark circles didn’t come down.
“Yes.”
When I answered, his jet-black eyes fixed on mine.
The air flow has changed.
“Yes, you saw a demon?”
… … What is to come has come.
Why is there always an ominous feeling?
