The only people in the house who were confused and didn’t understand what I didn’t know was going on was me and Otakia.

The man with red hair stared at me, he couldn’t speak, and started pointing his finger at me. Alan and Andrea quickly jumped up in front of me trying to block me from the man’s view.

“I-I’ve been looking for you for so long…..how… mana vessel, you!”

As if he could barely think of something to say, the red-haired man shouted at me. I tried to peek through the space between Andrea and Alan in front of me, but I gave up. I couldn’t see anything with both of their backs in the way.

“Was the high-level magician that sister brought here, the Magic Tower Lord?”

Alan asked, suppressing a sigh.

Magic Tower Lord? Was that the Magic Tower Lord I was going to meet? That man? That means…that man is the other “male protagonist”

“Hey, priest, and kidnapper. Did you know where mana vessel was? But why didn’t you say anything?”

The Magic Tower Lord was a very aggressive person. His speech was rough, and most importantly, there was anger in his voice. It felt like he might explode if provoked. Andrea and Alan, were friendly, I couldn’t believe that such a person could be my potential partner.

“Stop pretending to be knights and get lost. Before I blast you away with magic,”

The Magic Tower Lord said as he walked towards me. It was intimidating enough to make my back straighten. I subtly leaned my neck and shoulders between Andrea and Alan to completely hide behind them. It was a pathetic sight, but it didn’t matter since I wouldn’t be visible anyway…

“Hey, Mr. Magic Tower Lord? I don’t know what’s going on, but if you use attack magic in my lovely shelter, I’ll kick you out,”

Otakia intervened in a timely manner.

“Oh, shit! Mana vessel, come out!”

The Magic Tower Lord shouted, messing up his hair. I hid myself a bit more.

“Alright, I won’t touch him. Just step aside and let me see his face.”

The Magic Tower Lord’s words made Andrea and Alan sigh before stepping aside.

Uh? Wait a minute, why are they obediently stepping aside?

In a position like a turtle trying to escape to its shell, I sat there and ended up making eye contact with the Magic Tower Lord. He looked at me with a dumbfounded expression and then burst into laughter.

“Hey, mana vessel, what are you doing? Why are you acting like that?”

He laughed heartily, and surprisingly, his face didn’t look scary at all. On the contrary, he seemed young and affectionate like a mischievous boy.

Moreover, there was familiar character information floating above his head.

[Cain/the Magic Tower Lord/Whimsical Genius/favorability 74]

The favorability is 74?!

I was shocked and checked the Magic Tower Lord’s head several times. The number written there was undoubtedly 74. The favorability when I first saw them, Andrea was in the 50s and 40s for Alan, but the Magic Tower Lord was already 70?

“Where have you been all this time? Were you with these guys? And why isn’t your health good?”

I was bombarded with questions. Although there was still a hint of a smile, he seemed a bit angry.

“Narcissus-nim, if it’s hard for you, shall I speak instead?”

Alan asked quietly, gripping my shoulder. The Magic Tower Lord’s expression twisted angrily when he saw that.

“Hands off and don’t speak. I’m really holding back right now.”

The Magic Tower Lord spoke like a gangster, but Alan didn’t even blink. Instead, he stroked my shoulder as if encouraging me.

“Narcissus-nim is currently unwell. It’s not good to prioritize the Magic Tower Lord’s emotions and press him like this.”

“Can you be mana vessel’s guardian?”

“Well, I could say that I am a protector, since he is a recipient of Eura’s miracle.”

“In that case, I’m his master. Aren’t I the one truly qualified as a guardian?”

Come to think of it, before I lost my memory, Alan mentioned I was the Magic Tower Lord’s disciple. Listening to him speak, it was clear that I was indeed his disciple.

I slowly got up from the sofa. Everyone in the room simultaneously fell silent, watching my movements. It was a bit awkward, but I stared at the Magic Tower Lord with a determined expression.

“First, let’s talk.”

***

True Love

Andrea said, “Master, no. Don’t be alone with that red head” holding onto the hem of my clothes, and although Alan reluctantly offered to follow, I firmly refused them.

I had matters to discuss with the Magic Tower Lord, named Cain. I was first going to request the removal of the hair loss penalty, and the second was to ask him to teach me magic again. There was also a third reason. I wanted to find out directly why this man was considered my potential partner.

With such grand goals, I entered the guest room alone with Cain. In this house, the separate spaces were Otakia’s bedroom, the basement, and this guest room. Otakia suggested the basement, but considering the dark and monster-filled state of the house, there is a high possibility that I would feel nauseous if I went there. So, the guest room became our destination.

The guest room was so small that it was tightly filled with just one bed and a small round table. Cain naturally sat on the bed, and then he casually patted the space next to him. Originally planning to sit at the table, I was pressured by his momentum and ended up sitting next to Cain.

“When I was looking for you, I couldn’t understand that Archduke.”

“What?”

“I went to your house to complete the tracking magic, but I couldn’t feel your mana from any item in your room.”

I didn’t understand what he was saying and listened silently. Cain, who had been quite excited, continued the story more calmly than expected, but I could still sense the anger lurking within his voice.

“I’m best at magic, but it didn’t work. Last time and this time. As you know, I’m not some great genius, when it comes to matters related to you, I become a fool.”

Suddenly, he grabbed my chin and spoke as if growling.

“I even thought about where to lock you up if I found you.”

“……R-really?”

“Yeah. So, tell me, Mana vessel. Where have you been? Why did you run away, huh?”

Cain’s eyes glared fiercely. His grip on my chin tightened, and I quickly added with sincerity,

“I don’t know either.”

When I answered, Cain’s red eyes glared in irritation. It seemed he was angry. I added it quickly.

“I lost my memory. So, I swear! I don’t know.”

I began with the story of emerging in a sandstorm about four months ago, naked. From being called as an angel in Sablum, Andrea’s visit, the appearance of the priest Alan, the commotion with Waroom, the appearance of a centipede monster while running away together, to getting help from Otakia. The journey of the past few months had been long and challenging.

I intentionally avoided talking about quests or penalties. I didn’t want to speak hastily about things I didn’t fully understand, and Cain was still unfamiliar and scary.

Cain didn’t speak until I finished my story. He listened with an expressionless face and finally nodded.

“Alright, I understand.”

He brushed his red hair back, revealing scratch-shaped marks on his slightly long hair.

“Okay, [Winkyo].”

He chanted something like a spell. As I looked at him in confusion, I felt a sensation as if invisible ropes were tying my wrists and ankles.

“Huh?”

I tried to move my hands, but my wrists were stuck together. The same went for my ankles.

“Why, why is this happening?”

“When I lost you again, I made a promise. I won’t let you slip away again.”

He smirked. I saw the illusion of a light flashed at the tip of his sharp fangs.

“I won’t let those damn priests or kidnappers see you again. The Duke and the Crown Prince are the same. You’re my disciple, my family, someone I have to take responsibility for.”

Cain’s voice became stronger. It seemed like he truly had special feelings for me.

“So, from now on, with me…”

“Hey, hey, the Magic Tower Lord! How long are you going to stay there? If the patient’s treatment is over, let’s go see the Scoloradra I caught!”

Otakia interrupted Cain’s words and energetically entered the guest room. Cain’s face gradually turned red. It didn’t seem like he was embarrassed but rather something else.

“Miss… Hey! Why aren’t you leaving?”

“You have a really bad temper. I am the owner of the house. As the owner, I’m telling you to stop now and come out to see the Scoloradra.”

“I don’t need it anymore! I was trying to distort surveillance magic to find this guy! Damn it, take all those centipede tails of yours, you!”

“huh…are you serious?”If that’s the case, I’m grateful.”

Otakia put up her glasses to her nose and ran out of the room excitedly. But the door was wide open and Andrea and Alan were standing in front of it.

“Are you done?

Andrea said, leaning crookedly against the door.
