The first day of November.

 

Wednesday.

 

Halloween day.

 

Six o'clock in the morning.

 

…

 

Lily Laplace woke up, feeling a slight chill.

 

“Yawn~”

 

She smacked her lips and opened her eyes.

 

Then she saw the shorthair cat lying beside her on the bed, that had been licking her ear.

 

“Stop it.”

 

Realising that this was not her own bed, Lily tried her best to wake up.

 

She slowly got out of the quilt and stretched her body.

 

And she saw a blond teenager curled up in a ball next to her.

 

“Hey-hey.”

 

Seeing Dark sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, Lily couldn't but stretch out her finger and gingerly poke him in the cheek.

Soft, like jelly pudding.

 

As she took back her finger, the extremely elastic skin restored to its original shape along with the retracted fingertip.

 

Lily didn't do it again.

 

“I should go back and sleep on my own place.”

 

The little fairy flapped her wings and flew back to her room.

 

Dark was still sleeping.

 

It has been a long time since he has slept so deeply.

 

Without all the burdens, his body and mind has become very relaxed; naturally, it would make him sleepy.

 

It wasn't until half past nine that Dark's eyes snapped open.

 

He checked the [Sloth] indicator immediately—but found that it did not increase.

 

“Is it because I slept late?”

 

“Or is it because I really need such a long sleep?”

 

After the initial sluggishness, Dark noticed that Professor Lily had left without telling him.

 

He didn't think about it too much.
He washed his face, brushed his teeth, and changed his clothes.
After that, he applied Trash Slime on his face, and then ushered in a new day.

 

Lady Devimon came out from the sorting card, and she still had not changed back to DemiDevimon.

 

Probably because of the absorption of too much power from the goddess statue, this time the evolution is lasting for a very long time.

 

Feeling helpless, Dark went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast in person.

Most students had woken up by this time, so there were many people in the cafeteria.

 

They were still discussing the same topics they had been discussing in the early morning.

 

Sometimes the Halloween gifts were also mentioned.

 

But they were all things like toffee, toffee apples, chocolate cookies, etc.

 

Halloween is after all different from Christmas, so the gifts are not that valuable.

 

…

 

After eating breakfast, Dark dropped by the infirmary.

 

He hadn't found a chance to return White's magic cards to him last night, so he wanted to come here, find Robert, and pass the magic cards to White through Robert.

 

“Is Sister Kaleid here?”

 

Dark opened the door carefully, only to see Sister Kaleid still dozing on the table.

 

She was obviously exhausted, and her exposed face was full of fatigue.

 

Dark couldn't bring himself to wake her up, so he walked into the infirmary lightly and found Robert Brogheim among the patients near the door.

 

Robert slept happily as if he was not bothered by anything.

 

Dark packed White's cards in a bag and placed it by the head of his bed.

 

Then he was about to leave the infirmary.

 

But when he was about to turn around, he noticed that more than half of the patients in the infirmary were getting needles.

But unlike ordinary intravenous infusion, the needles for infusion were pierced into their heads through their temples, and the potion bottles hanging by the bed were spherical, containing glowing potions.

 

Upon closer inspection, Dark saw that the part of the needles pierced into their heads were blurry and semi-transparent, just like when Old John had used The Hook of Destiny to hook up distracting thoughts.

 

And the potion in the spherical potion bottles was almost finished.

 

Although Dark didn't know what potion was in the potion bottles, based on common sense of infusion, he knew that Sister Kaleid needed to be woken up right now!

 

“Dark Demon?”

 

Sister Kaleid appeared behind him silently.

 

Dark was slightly startled.

 

Sister Kaleid said, “You came here just at the right time.
Can you help me pour new potions into those potion bottles?”

 

Dark nodded in response, “Sure.”

 

Sister Kaleid rubbed the corners of her eyes and took out two test tube racks from the medicine cabinet.
Each test tube rack was filled with test tubes sealed with oak plugs.

 

There were two kinds of liquids in the test tubes.

 

“This pale yellow potion is Grimm’s potion, which can effectively eliminate the side effects of Soulless Water, and make the bond between soul and body firm so that one would not be confused by mental illusions easily.”

 

“This golden potion is Andersen's potion.
It has a miraculous effect on curses.
It can remove most of the spells that involve brain curses and mental manipulation.
If taken in advance, it can also protect one’s mind from mental manipulation.”

 

“Although they look alike, they are actually completely different potions.
Follow me and don't confuse them.”

 

A total of thirty patients needed to refill their potion bottles.

 

Fourteen of them needed Grimm's potion, and sixteen needed Andersen's potion.

 

Although the remaining 19 people were also injected with Soulless Water, the situation was not serious.

It would only take two to three days of rest to recover.

 

In fact, the most troublesome were the fourteen lovers whose emotions and memories had been extracted.

 

Grimm’s Potion could only stabilise their spirits; further treatments were needed to gradually restore their emotions and memories.

 

According to Sister Kaleid, human emotions and memories are backed up in people’s brains; they are not so easy to eliminate.

 

“Anyway, it's good that they will be able to recover.”

 

Dark also quietly breathed a sigh of relief after inquiring.

 

Although he had his own considerations at that time, he had not taken action when their emotions and memories were extracted.
If their emotions and memories could not be recovered, he would feel guilty.

 

Sister Kaleid seemed to see through his thoughts and couldn't help smiling.
“Dark Demon, I heard about you when I was on duty at the holy church.
They all said that you are the incarnation of the devil, the disgrace of the Duke family; as the son of the Valkyrie, you did not inherit any virtues from your mother.
I had thought you were quite interesting at that time, but I hadn't expected that you would have grown into such a boring personality.”

 

Dark: “???”

 

Sister Kaleid casually poured Andersen’s potion into the spherical potion bottle of the last member of the Seafood Order, and continued, “If there are two groups of people that are in danger—one group has only ten people, but there is someone important to you in that group; the other group has one hundred people, but they are all innocent people—which group would you save?”

 

Dark: “Ten people, probably.”

 

Sister Kaleid: “???”

 

Dark couldn't help but shake his head and say: “Sister Kaleid, human emotions and behaviour are separated.
If one hundred people died because I chose to save ten people, I would feel guilty.
However, even if I knew that in advance, I would still choose to save ten people; there is no conflict here.
In fact, it would not be my fault if one hundred people couldn’t be saved.
I would feel guilty only because of my inability to save these one hundred and ten people at the same time.”

 

Sister Kaleid was stunned for a while, and then was a little embarrassed.
She scratched her messy silver hair and said, “Well, I was wrong.
I still have some Grimm's potion and Andersen's potion remaining.
You can choose one as a reward.”

 

“Andersen's potion.”

 

Dark didn't hesitate.
