Join the Server“Sun-woo? Really Sun-woo?”
Lua repeatedly confirmed.
Even while looking right before her eyes, she didn’t seem to believe it.
It was natural. Because she had been submerged in darkness until just a moment ago, and Sun-woo suddenly appeared.
The Demon God looked upon such Lua with pity.
“Fragile humans. Wait. I have a good method to bring you to your senses.”
And he stretched out his hand straight to make a knife-edge.
“W-Wait, what are you trying to—”
What do you mean what.
It’s a knife-hand strike.
The Demon God unhesitatingly struck the crown of Lua’s head.
“Ack!”
“How is it? Do your senses not flash back? I adjusted the strength, so put away your worries about your head cracking.”
“Kku… Kkuuu…”
Lua clutched her head and trembled, then jumped to her feet.
“What on earth are you doing!”
“As expected, this method always has an excellent effect.”
The Demon God’s prescription is always right.
In the past, he used to wake up subordinates who lost their minds in this way. Everyone jumped to their feet like Lua right now.
One gains a bit of a headache, but is that much not worth enduring?
Seeing the Demon God smiling contentedly, Lua threw a question.
“Sun-woo, you! Why on earth are you here?”
Then she looked around at her outfit and her room anew.
She didn’t know how many days it had been since her mind became hazy.
Still, thanks to her usual organizing, it was fortunate that both her room and clothes were decent.
“Gather your energy and come out of the room. Your younger sister, Sia, is here.”
“Sia is?”
“Yes, she called me. It is something to commend.”
The Demon God left Lua behind and came out of the room.
“What about Unni?”
“She will come out soon. Has anyone come up?”
“Yes. The company people must have felt guilty too. I don’t think they told the security office before they left.”
Tae-young next to him also nodded.
“Still, the door will be a problem.”
“Hmm.”
A moment later.
Lua also came out of the room.
“Unni!”
“Sia.”
The two sisters embraced each other first.
“Unni, are you in your right mind now? All this time—”
Sia conveyed what she had experienced from her perspective.
“Really? I even canceled my schedule?”
“Indeed. They even went as far as canceling the Pantheon concert meeting. Though that seems to be the manager’s doing.”
Lua found the sofa and sat down.
“How could they….”
The Demon God spoke seriously to Lua.
“Lua. You committed a decisive mistake. That is why you could not avoid such a thing.”
“What is that?”
“You should have worshipped me.”
“…….”
It was the Demon God proudly demanding worship.
Tae-young intervened from the side.
“Sun-woo, that story again?”
“Again, you say? Has she not just experienced it. If she had worshipped, there would have been no such thing as mental confusion? Even if she had just attached one photo of me.”
As the Demon God, he could not understand it at all.
Why buy and suffer such hardship? She just had to worship this body.
At this time.
“Got it.”
Unexpected words flowed out from Lua.
“Got it? What do you mean?”
“I will worship you.”
The Demon God looked behind his back for a moment.
Creeeak— Creeeak—
Intense cracking sounds were heard from the chains.
‘Is it because she became a fan in an exceedingly dangerous situation. Even though it is just one fan, the cracking sound is considerable.’
That meant this fandom was sincere.
The Demon God smiled slightly alone.
“Lua, you are finally making a rational judgment.”
“Rational…. I don’t know about that, but I’ll worship you.”
Lua had made up her mind from the moment she heard the whole situation from Sia.
He ran all this way to save her, she heard.
He even defeated the Izm staff.
She was thankful and also slightly embarrassed.
“Since I owe you a favor again, it can’t be helped this time. I’ll worship you from now on. I just have to be a Pantheon fan, right? Or do I have to be your individual fan, Sun-woo?”
“An idol fan must naturally be a group fan. However, I shall allow you to secretly have me as your ultimate bias. Tae-young, this much should be fine, right?”
Tae-young shrugged.
“Hm? Of course. That’s a matter of the heart.”
However, Lua’s opinion seemed slightly different.
“W-Who’s going to secretly have you as their ultimate bias? I’m just going to be a Pantheon fan!”
She declared with a face turning red.
“Do as you please.”
On the other hand, the Demon God let it pass with a serene face.
Tae-young looked back and forth between the two for a moment, then shrugged alone.
Then he stepped up to organize the situation.
“Senior Lua, is your body okay right now? If you were out of your mind for a while, did you eat?”
“Ah? Tae-young. Eat?”
“If you speak comfortably with Sun-woo, please speak comfortably with me too.”
“Shall I?”
She was only a trivial human in front of the Demon God, but Lua was a far senior and an S-class solo singer. It wasn’t strange for her to speak comfortably.
“Eat…. I’m not hungry yet.”
“Really? That’s strange. It seems you couldn’t eat much. Did you drink water?”
“I didn’t drink much water either. But I’m not thirsty.”
The Demon God figured out the cause of this phenomenon.
“Your functions are still lowered.”
If so.
It’s time to exert Authority for the new fan, Lua.
Authority [Appetite Control].
Restoring the level of appetite needed for her body.
“Huh? I’m suddenly hungry.”
Growl—
Her stomach rumbled like thunder.
Authority [Moisture Supply].
Supplying moisture to her throat to let her feel how thirsty she is.
“I’m thirsty too.”
“Wait, Unni. I’ll quickly bring you water.”
Gulp, gulp, she emptied a glass of water in a single breath.
Authority [Deep Sleep Inducement].
To let her fall into a deep sleep just like this—before doing so.
“Lua, do not close your eyes for a moment.”
“Uhh—, I’m sleepy.”
“Speak of what happened before you became like this, and then sleep.”
The Demon God hadn’t only seen through Lua’s physical condition.
The hazy mind.
That wasn’t a simple drop in condition.
‘Her willpower itself was depleted. As if it had been sucked dry.’
Her body and life force were fine, but only her mental power had disappeared.
“You do not become like you just like that. You must have met someone or experienced something before this situation.”
“If it’s something like that, there is.”
Lua traced her memory and explained.
“I went to the healing center for conditioning.”
And Lua said she stopped by the psychological counseling center to greet the counseling teacher after a long time.
“But from the moment I went in, my memory is hazy.”
“Do you have no memory at all?”
“Yeah, I have some.”
She was offered a special program.
Because of that program, she went every day for 5 days instead of the originally scheduled once-a-week counseling.
“And some feeling remains too.”
“Feeling?”
“Cold? A chilly feeling?”
“Like a ghost is next to you?”
“Huh? Yeah.”
The Demon God nodded.
“And I also have a feeling about the counseling remaining…. For some reason, I felt more drained of energy after receiving counseling.”
It aligns perfectly with the phenomenon of willpower depletion.
After a moment of thought, the Demon God threw an important question.
“Do you have any feeling about the counselor too?”
“The teacher? Well, he’s always a good person.”
“Try recalling more.”
Lua fell into deep thought at the Demon God’s encouragement, and only opened her mouth after a moment.
“Strangely… after the counseling ends, the teacher looks even better… and it felt like things would be easier if I did as the teacher said… it was like that.”
“Excellent. Now eat, sleep, or do as you please. Once you rest well, you will recover quickly.”
Because a demonic Authority is such a thing.
Eventually, Lua began her meal with porridge.
Because eating greasy food suddenly after not eating for a long time would be burdensome.
In the meantime, they decided to contact the security office to repair the door.
“Bill the cost to Izm.”
“The company people broke the door too?”
“Indeed. Do not think deeply and sleep quickly.”
“?”
Lua fell into a deep sleep as if pushed from behind.
“Sun-woo, thank you….”
“Hmph. Worship rather than thank.”
It was a bit noisy, but the business here was finally over.
“Then I shall take my leave.”
Sia tried to stop him, telling him to rest a while and go.
“I have a place I must go.”
The healing center.
For even Lua, who is originally not a wicked person, to be bewitched, it seems the things happening there are increasing in degree.
The Demon God picked up his phone.
[Zion]
[Are you busy?]
An immediate reply came.
[No!]
“Hmph.”
***
Lua needed to recover.
Including the Demon God, no one in Pantheon was a member of the healing center.
Therefore, they had to enlist Zion’s help.
“Really? So I just have to do as you just said?”
The plan was as follows.
Zion and the Demon God arrive at the counseling center.
When Zion requests Lua’s counselor and enters the counseling room.
The Demon God swaps places with Zion in the counseling room at the appropriate moment.
“I’m somehow excited? My heart’s pounding!”
And Zion was open-minded to various activities together with the Demon God.
“The entire center does not seem strange. That person called the counselor is strange.”
“You mean because that person put something similar to hypnosis on Lua Noona, she even canceled her schedule? That’s unforgivable!”
He conveyed it to Zion roughly like this.
Thus, the scenario was that the Demon God decided to go and confront him directly.
“Good. Leave it to me.”
On a midday in May, the Demon God wore a hat and mask and followed behind Zion.
Having been there once before, he was familiar with the procedure.
He receives a mask from the desk. When going to the psychological counseling center, one fills out a document stating the reason for the visit. One has to reveal at least their name here.
So the Demon God filled in a name this time too.
[Tae-young]
Last time he used the name Sun-woo.
At that time, Lua’s counselor said he would come, but didn’t.
If he writes the name Sun-woo again now, he might avoid him again.
The Demon God filled out the document to the end under Tae-young’s name.
“Shall I help you?”
Zion remembered the Demon God roughly scribbling the document last time and tried to help.
“?”
The items on the document were filled in normally.
And the handwriting was even in a neat print.
“You could write this well…?”
“Is it not obvious. I always handle documents with a sense of responsibility.”
With a sense of responsibility, he made his subordinates do it, though.
“And the handwriting?”
“I mimicked Tae-young’s handwriting. He writes straightly, like his personality.”
“Then how about you write like this too?”
“I wish to be free.”
He is already feeling stifled because of the chains.
He has absolutely no mind to even write straightly.
At the Demon God’s confident attitude, Zion also nodded like a devoted believer.
A moment later, the staff collected the document.
And at this time, Zion began the plan.
“I would like to designate a counseling teacher.”
“Pardon? Who are you looking for?”
“Senior Lua’s counseling teacher. Senior Lua’s condition has been strange lately. I would like to consult about it.”
“Is that so? I will convey it.”
The staff was about to turn around.
“And could I wait inside the counseling room first instead of the waiting room? Someone could come here too, right?”
Pretending to constantly care about privacy even while wearing a mask.
He wondered what the reaction would be, but the staff pointed to the counseling room without particular objection. Probably because many artists come here.
“And Tae-young?”
“I shall wait here. I will just go to the restroom and then sit.”
The Demon God elegantly acted as Tae-young.
“…….”
Zion stared blankly while heading to the counseling room.
“Go. I will be here.”
‘Tae-young’ waved his hand in greeting.
“Y-Yeah.”
Zion shook his head vigorously as if he saw something he shouldn’t have and disappeared into the counseling room.
The Demon God stood up from his seat, walked with proper posture like Tae-young, and came out of the waiting room.
And, stopping midway while closing the door, he stood nearby and looked inside.
From what he saw last time, the counselors enter through a different door.
There seems to be a separate space connecting to the waiting room.
Before the counselor comes out, while the desk staff is doing work.
Exactly that timing.
The Demon God’s top-tier body moved with post-human agility.
Evading the staff’s eyes, he entered the counseling room Zion had gone into.
“You came!”
“Shh. You, Zion, go out and hide in another counseling room. I see a place with the door left open.”
“Can’t I stay here? You said you’re ‘confronting’ him. I want to see what happens.”
“No.”
There’s absolutely no good in seeing it.
It’s a very narrow space so he could get swept up in it.
After checking the desk side with high concentration, the Demon God sent Zion out.
“Phew.”
Infiltration successful.
The Demon God sat in the counseling room chair.
Because he couldn’t have him go back like last time, he completely subdued and hid his Aura. He was waiting like an ordinary human.
Click.
The door of the counseling room opened.
“Hello.”
A kind and quiet, yet somehow trembling voice was heard.
A chill began to circulate inside the counseling room.
A gloomy chill that was definitely not because of the air conditioner.
And, the Demon God also returned the counselor’s greeting.
“Shut up.”
“?”
Because he was afraid he might run away in advance, infiltrating was truly bothersome.
Because he was already annoyed.
At times like this, there was a good method to start a conversation.
The Demon God rolled up one of his sleeves.
