Chapter 31 - Sera

"Noona will go in first to see the situation inside..."

Trang!!

Oliver continued to walk without looking in the mirror. Every time mirror rewinded memories of the past, Oliver immediately broke them.

"OLIVERR!!"

Little Oliver quickly opened the door to his father's office.

Trang!!

Dorr!!

A scene that had previously been something full of warmth and cheerfulness, turned into a tragedy.

In front of him, Oliver's uncle no longer held a tape gun, but a real gun aimed at his parents.

Trang!!

With his two eyes, Oliver saw his father fall from a gun pointed at his uncle. The sound of his mother and noona's screams added to little Oliver's confusion.

"Please... Don't kill my child..."

There, his uncle pointed his gun at Oliver's mother. And his mother begged him to forgive her child. Her face is full of unreadable emotions. 

"For the sake of family relations...."

"I'll let one of them live"

"NOOO.....!!!" Oliver's mother quickly embrace Meddie in her arms, protecting from hot bullets directed at them.

Doo-

Trang!!

Seeing the memories played again, made Oliver very angry.

A blood dripped from his bitten lips.

Oliver tries to silence his past by smashing all the glass he can see in an instant. However, the more Oliver rejects his past being twisted, the more distant and endless his passages become.

Knowing that, Oliver realizes that it would be futile to destroy it without letting the mirror replay his past. Finally Oliver decides to destroy the mirror while his memory is being replayed.

Oliver's mom was lying on the floor after the sound of gunshots was heard. However, before his uncle shoots, his older sister runs up to Oliver and closes his ears while hugging him so that he doesn't see the incident.

Even though it had been covered, Oliver could still clearly hear the loud sound of the gunshots.

Meddie, who had previously been in her mother's arms, now fell and lay beside Oliver's mother's body, crying.

"Noisy..."

His uncle pointed a gun at Meddie who was crying loudly because of fell and the sound of gunshots.

Oliver's noona, who saw his uncle's tail, immediately ran towards Meddie to protect her. "MEDDIEEE...!!"

Without feeling guilty in the slightest, two bullets were aimed at his noona.

Dor! Do-

Trang!!

This time, Oliver smashed the mirror with his hands.

Blood dripped from his noona's body. The sound of Meddie's crying was silenced in her arms.

"You...." His uncle voice stopped right at the end of his throat.

"Damn! Even though I wanted to let you stay alive but stupidly you jumped."

His uncle looked at Oliver. "What's wrong?! There's no need to be sad like that, this uncle of yours will be happy to take you to meet them."

A barrel of a firearm was pointed at Oliver. Ready to be pulled at any time.

Oliver's arms and legs trembled violently at the barrel of the gun. His young mind was empty and couldn't accept all the tragedy that happened right before his eyes.

However, before it could be actually pulled, a voice was heard from behind Oliver.

"Enough, honey..."

"We don't need to kill this handsome boy..."

A cold hand touched Oliver's neck and cheeks.

"Why? Wouldn't it be better to finish them all?"

"Don't worry, we still need the original heir to rule everything"

"That's right, Oliver?!"

Her calm yet cruel voice sounded haunting his ears.

Trangg!!

"AAAGGHHHH....!!"

"Please...."

"Stop...."

Oliver fell again, powerless to hold back all the pent-up emotions.

When he saw his aunt's rotten smile, his feelings were mixed.

His uncle and aunt were two people he hated very much even though time had passed. Oliver couldn't forget every detail of his past memories. He no longer knows how to make peace with everyone. He wished his brain could reset all those dark memories.

"Please...."

Tears had fallen down his face.

In the room where Areum was surprised to see her shadow in the mirror, felt a strong feeling that came from the bond between herself and her master, Oliver.

"Milord..."

Far down the hallway, there was a door. Inside, a little girl was sitting hugging a doll. Her shadow reflected off her back from the mirror.

"I beg.... please...."

She smiled.

...

"Unnie!! when are you going to take Sera to fight monsters?!"

Suddenly, the door to Sylv's office swung open, revealing an enthusiastic Sera.

"Oh wait a minute, sweetie..." Sylv put down the document she checked and opened her hunter card. Sera walked over, curious about what her brother saw.

"What is it, unnie?"

"Hm, this? this is a report about the dungeon" Sylv lifted Sera to sit on her lap and showed her what she had opened.

"Unnie is checking whether the dungeon I ordered has reached the time for the dungeon break or not"

"Eh?! Unnie ordered a dungeon to be left behind? Isn't that dangerous?" Sera looked up her face.

Sylv couldn't hold back her fingers to touch Sera's nose who saw her with a worried but adorable face. "Of course it's dangerous, but..."

"Look at this, unnie booked a dungeon away from the inhabitants and put a barrier around it so that the monsters wouldn't escape" Sylv showed the location of dungeon on the screen.

"Rat?!" Sera pointed to the image of the mouse displayed on dungeon information.

"Is Sera afraid of rats?"

"O-of course Sera is not afraid!"

The face unwilling to admit it was very funny. Sylv couldn't bear to tease her, "if the rat is big?"

"Big mouse??"

"Hmph! r-rats are still rats!!"

"Hahaha!"

"Well good.... Let's see when the dungeon breaks"

"It seems like Sera is very lucky! because the dungeon break will happen later in the afternoon" Sylv showed information about the time of the dungeon break.

"Waahhh!!"

Sylv stroked Sera's hair. "What if Sera trains first? I'll make a cake"

"Hum" Sera got off Sylv's lap and ran to practice.

Seeing Sera who had come out, Sylv leaned her back against the chair and sighed.

"Haaa... Actually I want to make her fight against goblins and hobgoblins who have slightly higher intelligence."

"But seeing their physique is almost the same as humans, I can't bear to make such a small girl kill them"

"Whatever, I can teach her slowly"

"I'd better prepare a cake and some utensils right away"

Sylv stood up from her seat and walked into the kitchen. She also prepared some equipment such as raid clothes and potions.

When Sylv goes out to serve the cake, she sees Sera who is practicing seriously. Sylv walked over and placed the cake carefully so as not to interfere with Sera's practice.

"Let's see how it goes" Sylv sat behind Sera and put her hands on Sera's back.
