Episode 221: That day, he and I (2)
Time is like a flowing water, so it goes by so easily even if you don’t catch it.
That’s why the flow feels even faster to those who haven’t been able to get anything out of it.
-The Dark House of the Rue Morgue-
Always immersed in shadow, this place takes the form of a tall tower.
Jagged towers under a gloomy sky where crows flew in flocks.
And on the seat of the deputy at the highest of them, there was one person sitting.
A tall stature with a skinny body. A shady aura radiating from behind.
A cold-looking man with dark red hair and dark red eyes is looking down.
Morgue Snake.
He is in charge of the dark hall of Morgue, the head of the magical family, and is the third-ranked being in the family.
Following Morgue Lespannet, the head of the household, and Morgue Adolph, the representative of the Mt.
However, unlike the friendship between Lespane and Adolf, who are siblings, Snake, who is a little far away, is different from them.
And Darkang also gives the impression that he is somehow distant from the family to match the nature of Snake.
well anyway Darkdang hides in the shadows and conducts secret research and experiments, and the results made through doing so become Morgue’s spear and shield, so Snake, who leads everything in Darkness, was obviously indispensable to the Morgue family.
“… … .”
Such a snake was looking down at the festival now with a frown on his face.
Standing there was a girl looking up this way with a clear face.
Morgue Camus. He was a member of the House of Representatives belonging to Myeongdang and the future owner of the House of Morgue.
Snake opened his mouth in a low voice.
“… … Sogaju, belonging to Myeongdang, what are you doing here?”
There is little reason for Morgue, who belongs to the Myeongdang, to visit the dark hall.
Except for the one time tech exchange every quarter.
Since even that was done only among practitioners with authority, Camus, who had just turned 17, had no reason to come here.
but.
“The Myeongdang has withdrawn.”
At Kamyu’s words, Snake’s eyes widened slightly.
And at the words that followed, his eyebrows moved.
“I want to enter the dark hall.”
bombshell. Changing party affiliation is not an ordinary thing.
Even more so when it comes to the status of Sogaju, who will be responsible for the future of the Morgue family.
Snake was speechless for a while with a dazed expression on his face.
And it was only after a long time had passed that he finally parted his lips.
“… … Why?”
“I’m tired of fussing.”
Camus answered right away, and Snake was silent again.
Snake also knew from reports that Kamyu had searched the seas of Red and Black Mountains every day for the past few years to find Bikir.
That’s why I know very well that Camu has not only failed to achieve its goal in the past few years, but has not even had a small harvest.
“… … I guess I couldn’t find it after all.”
“yes.”
Camus nodded his head coolly and admitted his failure.
After frantically searching the sea for the past hour, Bikir’s remains were never found.
A relationship at the age of 8. And a reunion at the age of 15.
The few days spent in the red awl castle were the happiest times in Camu’s life.
Would it be the same if you got married and had a honeymoon? At that time, Camus had no doubt that the happiness would last forever.
But it’s broken. Because of the hateful natives of the jungle! It’s because of the monster that won’t be cool even if you tear it to pieces!
Camus gritted his teeth and searched through the sea.
And the more I fell behind, the more I had to admit it.
Bikir is no more. He is dead. He couldn’t even find a bone.
Is that why? Camus turned black.
“I want to revive him by learning black magic.”
“… … I couldn’t even find the body, so how?”
“His soul must still roam the Nine Heavens. Perhaps he has already become a specter. Whatever it is, I plan to bring it back. It would be better if we could find the remains later.”
At that, Snake put his hand on his forehead.
“Sogaju. Isn’t it too easy to change party affiliation? To come out of a good place, enter a dark place, and walk the path of the dark mage. What this means is… … .”
“It means that I will give up all my rights as a mother, uncle, and the owner of a small household and live in the shadows for the rest of my life.”
Camu cuts off Snake’s words like a knife.
Snake was speechless and half-opened his mouth.
Far away, he doesn’t change his expression as much as his cousin Morgue Banshee, who is a professor at the Colosseo Academy, but this time he seems really surprised.
Before long, Snake groaned and corrected his sitting position.
“… … In the dark, what the hell are you expecting from me, Sogaju?”
“As I said before, there are people who want to learn black magic and revive them.”
“At most, it just animates the ghost or the corpse.”
“I know there is a way to make the spirituality of life dwell there.”
“!”
Snake’s expression flinched once again.
The black magic that Camus refers to is a ‘perfect resuscitation technique’ that revives the dead in an almost perfect state.
Of course, it is an outside magic that is strictly forbidden in the Morgue family and the Empire.

“… … Not only is that magic difficult to learn, but the odds of success are extremely slim. And even if you succeed in reviving the subject by conceding ten thousand times, there is a high possibility that it will be corrupted or go berserk after that.”
“The spirit of the one I am trying to save is strong. Once you’re successful, you don’t have to worry. If only I could succeed.”
Camu’s faith was firm and firm.
Seeing her eyes, Snake hesitated for a moment.
After thinking about it for a long time, he immediately cut it off.
“Reject me.”
Afterwards, black folding screens spread out and cover the gap between Snake and Camus.
obvious congratulations.
But Camus did not go out. Instead, he opened his mouth without moving a single step from the spot.
“Marquis Snake. I know you love my mother.”
In an instant, the unfolding folding screens stood still.
Camus continued talking to Snake on the other side of the folding screen.
“Love between relatives is also an affair. You hid in the shadows of Morgue, saying that you had no face to look at the sky. Even now, because of your genius talent, you became the head of the dark party by force, you still love the family head.”
No answer came.
but.
… Drooling!
All the black folding screens that were blocking the view were just removed.
A snake with a hardened expression came down from the seat of the delegate and approached Camus.
“Did Adolf tell you? Are you saying I’m a dirty person? Did you go and make fun of me with such words?”
However, Camus was not at all embarrassed.
“My mother and uncle never told me that. I only knew about it after hearing the rumors floating around among the elders.”
“gibberish. The elders must have all died of old age already?”
“Deadly Testament. Even the dead talk a lot.”
Before long, Camus raised Mana.
Then, a black aura appeared behind her, and the souls of old men with white beards began to float around.
It was the ghost of the elders.
Snake asked in surprise when he saw Kamyu, who had already learned how to use black magic.
“What is this black magic!? Who taught you sogaju!?”
“I was self-taught.”
“… … what, what?”
Snake couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
You learned black magic on your own? Does that sound possible?
It is no exaggeration to say that he pioneered a new realm by himself. A truly phenomenal talent, if true.
“… … indeed. It was true that he was a talented person that only appeared once in a hundred years.”
Snake said while stroking his chin.
But that didn’t change his attitude.
“But that has nothing to do with it. I cannot allow Sogaju to enter the dark house.”
“Is it because you don’t want to upset your mother? Because you still love her?”
At Camu’s question, Snake experienced being speechless for a moment.
And Camu’s behavior that followed was even more embarrassing.
She unbuttoned her clothes and walked forward.
Before long, all the clothes fell to the floor and Camus was naked, not wearing a single thread.
Camus said to Snake.
“I was just like my mother when she was young. If I let you get drunk like that, would the story be a little different?”
She came right in front of Snake.
A strong and passionate desire to reach the goal by any means was making Kamu’s eyes shine brightly.
And Snake’s pupils shake when he sees those eyes.
“… … Get dressed.”
“… … .”
“Put on your clothes, Sogaju.”
Snake turned his head and gestured.
… Chow!
The clothes seemed to rise like snakes, and then wrapped around Camu’s whole body.
In front of Camu, who suddenly became dressed in a neat outfit.
“Never insult my feelings for her again.”
The Marquis of Morgue Snake was shaking his head.
Kamyu, who had been silently staring at Snake for a while.
Soon, her mouth opened.
“i look forward to. Master.”
