Genius Warlock-Episode 312
“You can sign here.”
A female real estate agent from District O said as she pointed at the signature line on the document..
As a female professional who is rare in Landa, she was kind, charming, and flawless, as if she had not survived in vain..
Forcelessness and other kinds of strength.
After Oliver finished observing, he signed the signature line as she requested and handed out the case bag containing the cash..
click-!
When the real estate agent opened the bag, a stiff high-denomination currency appeared with a cheerful sound..
It was a one-year advance rental fee for the house in question, a down payment, a brokerage fee to a real estate agent, and other special fees, including confidentiality..
Like everyone else in Landa, she smiled after receiving the large sum of money..
“thank you sir. This will be your home for the next year. Thanks again for the neat transaction..”
“I really appreciate it.”
Oliver must have gotten used to life in Landa, as he exchanged documents more skillfully than when he first signed a contract for his own residence..
The female real estate agent was extremely satisfied with the neat transaction, handed over the handover, and then politely greeted Oliver and his sister and his group behind him before leaving the house..
widely.
“Get the key here..”
When the female broker left, Oliver handed the bundle of mansion keys to his sister..
“Since it is a regular key, you will be able to copy the key according to the number of people without much difficulty..”
My sister hesitated and took the key, as if she still didn't understand the situation..
She wondered and wondered if she was doing it right..
Either way, Oliver said what he had to say..
“Area O is also close, but it is a pretty good area for Landa's upper-middle class residence. The security and amenities are also good. In particular, this place is good for protecting your privacy..”
It was all true..
This house was one of several candidates Oliver looked at when deciding where to live..
The house was large, had a basement, and was soundproofed. In addition, it was located at a certain distance from the surrounding houses, so it was advantageous to maintain privacy..
My sister nodded as if she agreed with that part..
“……ah.”
After finishing explaining the house, Oliver thought for a moment and, as if something had occurred to him, took out a red notebook and a wallet-sized bag of gluttons from his arms..
“This… … . My mother's?”
“You recognize me. This is Bathory’s notebook. I think it's a customer list..”
The emotions of my sister and other students were momentarily shaken by the item, which could be said to be Bathory's memento..
However, no one was able to move due to Oliver's overwhelming power, strange pressure, and the bad joke-like situation of receiving help from the enemy..
Maybe it's because of the promise we made in the sewer.
‘Could you please reconcile for a moment? … ? At least a year.’
My sister accepted at that time..
Because the difference between victory and defeat was so clear.
Of course, there was an option to choose death, but it was questionable whether it was right for the Bathory family to vanish in vain in the sewers of a foreign land..
Doesn’t it end when you die? literally the end.
So my sister accepted a one-year reconciliation. A reconciliation that was so bad that it was even bizarre..
“I put some money in this glutton's pocket. This will be your living expenses for one year. Do you have any questions??”
The older sister turned her head towards the sisters, looking at the enemy who spoke politely as if nothing had happened..
“You guys go up to the bedroom for a moment..”
“yes? But sister......."
“I told you to stay up.”
The sisters went up under the firm orders of their older sister, who was currently the captain. They were anxious, but not dissatisfied.
Oliver looked at that and said.
“It seems like everyone has a lot of faith in you..”
“Is there a problem?”
My sister showed hostility and caution..
It was understandable. Whatever it was, Oliver was the enemy..
1They decided to reconcile for a year, but it was going to be difficult to get rid of the hostility..
"no… … . Just because it's amazing. Usually warlock families get along well on the outside, but on the inside they're not, right? But, you are not... … . That's a bit surprising and amazing..”
My sister looked wary and didn't answer anything..
The silence was awkward, and Oliver decided it was time to take a step back and was about to part ways, but then his sister slowly opened her mouth..
“They are sisters with the same mother..”
“ah… … . This is Bathory.?”
My sister nodded. She truly thought of Bathory as her mother..
Oliver once again pondered whether or not to tell Bathory that he only thought of them as useful tools..
Because I was very curious about their opinions and feelings about this fact. However, at the same time, I thought it was a bit like that..
“……Is there anything you want to say??”
“yes? Ah, yes… … . How did you know?”
“Because I’m a warlock too… … . You're so emotionally weak that it's hard to tell the difference..”
"ah… … . As you said, there is something I want to say. However, I think it would be rude. Maybe.”
My sister hesitated a bit and then told me to give it a try. With the intention of finding out about Oliver..
“hmm… … . It seems like you and others cherish Bathory, but do you know that in fact, you are not Bathory? Although you say you are a daughter, I think of you as similar to other warlocks..”
In other words, he sees them as his property or tools. However, my sister did not react that way..
It wasn't that I didn't understand, it was that I knew..
“You know.”
“Because I helped him for a long time..”
She was calmer than I thought.
“But why……."
“……Are you following him??”
Oliver nodded..
The anger she showed when I showed her Bathory made from a corpse doll was real..
Intense emotions have consumed reason.
Nevertheless, they knew that Bathory saw them as tools..
It was interesting.
“……My sisters and I are mostly outcasts. She is poor, lower class, and a woman..”
Oliver nodded..
Even Oliver had a vague idea of how difficult it would be to be a poor, lower-class woman..
I saw you at the orphanage.
"Most of them almost died... … . No, he was dead. Miserable and like trash. The only help she had back then was her mother..”
“This is Bathory.?”
“yes… … . He gave us his second life, teachings, better lives and sisters, even if it was unstable. Even though he sees us as tools, that doesn't take away from the fact..”
ah… … . Oliver understood..
Whatever the purpose of Bathory's actions, it was an undeniable fact that he helped them..
Therefore, her relationship with Bathory was false but also true..
Oliver nodded and apologized again. Be more sincere.
“Mr. Bathory, the matter is… … . I'm really sorry.”
My sister didn’t say anything. Because things weren't going well, she ended up in a crazy relationship called reconciliation for a year, but it's proof that she hasn't forgiven him yet..
There were no particular complaints. Because Oliver proposed and wanted it first..
Then my sister opened her mouth..
“Can I also ask a question??”
“Tell me.”
“Why are you helping us like this? I think it must have cost quite a bit of money..”
She was right. We rented this house and spent an amount of money that Oliver would have never imagined two or three years ago, including living expenses..
"hmm… … . I like you guys.”
“I beg your pardon?”
My sister, who had been trying to keep her composure, expressed her displeasure and frowned..
“Aren’t you on good terms with your sisters? … . It's not easy for a warlock family to do that. She said it was interesting and nice to look at..”
My sister focused her eyes to determine whether Oliver was being serious or mocking her. Oliver explained again and again, as if to prove he was not mocking..
“Of course, I spent quite a bit of money, but my income has been good lately, so I can afford it. Also, there are many things I want to ask you. There is nothing to get news from across the sea other than newspapers..”
“They want to use us as sources of information. We have no choice but to answer. I received help like this……."
“no. That's not it. I would appreciate it if you could answer, but you don't have to force it. I helped you like this as a thank you for the one-year reconciliation and as an expression of apology in my own way. I didn't mean to, but I killed Bathory..”
My sister’s facial muscles and tendons stood out slightly..
“……Then, can I not answer the question??”
"hmm… … . How about helping each other from time to time? If you help me with my question, I'll help you too..”
Oliver was sincerely saying these crazy things that I didn't know where to start..
My sister didn't know what to say, and Oliver got up..
"......For now, I'll just wake up for today. I'll come by occasionally, so if you need anything, please let me know. Oh, and I would appreciate it if you would keep your promise to me..”
The promise was a common sense promise that, in exchange for help, he would not attack himself or do anything that would harm Landa for at least a year..
I set a condition that if they broke it, they would all be killed, and my sister accepted it..
“Let me ask you one more question..”
“……What is it?”
“Do you think you can subjugate us and keep us under??”
After thinking about it, my sister asked a question..
There were cases where he used his power, wealth, and charisma to subordinate other warlocks..
Oliver answered with all his sincerity..
“no. Never... … . Also, I wish that wasn't the case. Sincerely.”

“Did you have a good vacation??”
Kevin immediately asked Oliver, who returned to the Magic Tower after a legal three-day vacation..
“Yes... I had a good time. What's going on??”
“no. just. There were a lot of incidents at the end-of-semester party, so I asked just in case..”
“ah… … . Do not worry. Because I wasn't invited to a place like that..”
“Just a robber or a petty thief targeting an untidy-looking magic tower official. There are also scammers. Also, for some reason, it seems like you would step into such a place yourself, at least out of curiosity..”
Kevin saw right through Oliver..
Although the circumstances were different, Oliver also encountered a robber once..
“I'll be careful.”
“Yeah, be careful. The seasonal semester will start soon.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind. Is there anything I can do??”
“It's just in time. First of all, let's get this sorted by lunch time..”
Kevin pointed to the bundle of papers piled up on his desk..
The documents contained the students' personal information, and the amount was quite large..
“By classification, are you talking about the classification you did at the beginning of the semester??”
“that's right. Divide according to school affiliation, small school, and other characteristics. You need to know your students so you can plan classes accordingly..”
That was correct, but a separate question arose..
“Didn't you originally say that the number of students was small during the seasonal semester??”
“that's right."
"But the amount of documents piled up over there looks quite large.?”
“That's also true. All of the students you took last semester applied to retake the course, and other students also applied for additional classes.."
"ah......."
“I think I've heard some rumors, but regardless, I'm going to proceed my way. It's not urgent, so take it easy until lunch and follow me in the afternoon..”
“Can I ask what's going on??”
“I'm thinking of hiring a researcher to help me during the vacation. come and assist.”
