Judith, who lowered her eyes as her mind became complicated, flinched when his finger suddenly tapped on her forehead. Without her noticing it, Derrick’s finger lowered to the front of her nose.

“What are you thinking about so much?”

It was a strange feeling. His hand touched her forehead, and as soon as he removed it, the countless thoughts, which had tormented her until now, vanished into thin air. Her head became clear, and her splitting headache disappeared.

Feeling bewildered, Judith stroked her forehead with her hand.

“Why did it suddenly…”

Derrick chuckled when she, who experienced an incomprehensible phenomenon, muttered.

“I secretly looked into it, and normally, it wouldn’t be noisy.”

“Looked into… did you do that, just now?”

The questionable phenomenon that suddenly happened seemed to be an example of the power he wielded. As soon as Judith opened her eyes wide asked, Derrick mischievously bent the corners of his mouth. Judith, who was calmly pondering over his words, opened her mouth wide as she was astounded at her sudden thought.

“Don’t tell me you looked into my mind just now? You can read my thoughts?”

“Absolutely.”

Judith’s entire body stiffened from the reply Derrick calmly said to her. If magic could deal with not only the physical part, but also with the mental part, then, just in case, she asked, but it was true as he said.

“Then until now, all, all of my thoughts were…”

What she had been thinking about all this time with him in front of her.

Judith tried to recollect her thoughts quickly. But the memories that had already passed did not come easily to her mind. Derrick, who watched her as her eyes moved left and right restlessly, raised his body and gave out a small chuckle.

“I’m jesting. Were you cursing at me in your mind or something? Why do you look so anxious?”

Having her worried to this extent about a person, he raised his arms to the air with a nonchalant face. Swish. Then, a large thing flew from the open window and steadily landed on his forearm. Judith moved her body as much as she could at the unexpected presence. However, she soon breathed out a sigh of relief after spotting the black wings that looked familiar.

“No, it’s not a joke, but I can’t read it yet.”

“…You can’t yet?”

“Only a little of my mana that I had lost from being trapped in this body came back.”

He easily pulled out the letter from the carrier pigeon container that hung on the black bird’s, Carmen’s, leg and murmured to himself, making sounds as if something suddenly came to his mind.

“That reminds me, Hannibal was outstanding in this field.”

Judith, who felt relieved at his joking words, tilted her head to the side at the topic that was suddenly mentioned.

“What are you talking about?”

“About Hannibal. That guy has a remarkable ability to mess around with the minds of others. So…”

Derrick moved his head to the side menacingly. His irises, which were clearly violet just a while ago, shone with red streams.

“His forte was shattering the mental condition of others.”
