Although there were almost no petals left, the app depicted the same rose that was on the back of her wrist.

“What is this app?”

“…Huh?”

Still dazed, Seo-yoon looked at the phone screen.

“…Uh?”

And her eyes widened at the sight of the unfamiliar app.

“What is it?”

Irene didn’t answer but just shook Seo-yoon’s hair slightly, still holding it.

“Ow! I don’t know! It’s the first time I’ve seen this app!”

“First time? It’s your phone. Why don’t you know?”

“It’s definitely an app that wasn’t there before. I’m not lying. It’s my first time seeing it too!”

Irene peered into Seo-yoon’s eyes, ready to slit her throat if she was lying.

“It’s true…”

Avoiding Irene’s dark green eyes, which were as deep as a menacing forest at night, Seo-yoon answered weakly.

Only then did Irene withdraw her gaze from Seo-yoon and promptly pressed the app with the rose symbol.

A sentence appeared:

〈 Would you like to reinstall the Goddess’s blessing? 〉

“…The Goddess’s blessing?”

The curious prompt automatically moved to the next screen.

〈 By pressing the button, all remnants of the previous God’s blessing will disappear, and a new blessing from the Goddess shall protect the entire Stern Empire. 〉

Looking puzzled, Irene checked the battery again. Seeing it had dropped to only 2%, she turned to look at Ciel.

He was standing right next to her.

Having read the content on the phone as well, he simply nodded at Irene, a trusting look in his eyes as if he knew something.

She pressed the prominently displayed button on the screen before the phone eventually shut off.

“W…What are you doing!”

Seo-yoon screamed in horror as Irene operated the phone.

Irene looked at Ciel as she read the sentence that appeared prominently on the screen. He slowly read along with her.

“You have suffered greatly thus far. May the rest of your lives unfold as you wish…”

She also read the remaining sentence along with him.

“May you be happy in this life, my dear children…”

With that, the phone screen turned black.

Then, Seo-yoon threw a fit.

“Give it back! Let go!”

With Seo-yoon thrashing like that, Irene inadvertently dropped the phone. Enraged even more, Seo-yoon grabbed Irene’s wrist, which was holding her hair, and shook it off.

Seo-yoon stretched her arm to somehow pick up the phone, and as soon as she got hold of the hard object, she quickly tried to pull back.

However, Irene firmly grabbed Seo-yoon’s arm while holding the phone.

“Let go of me, you crazy b*tch!”

Seo-yoon struggled from behind, having already flipped her eyes in rage, quickly switched tactics and cursed.

“Let go! Let me the f*ck go!”

Irene didn’t let go of Seo-yoon’s arms with both hands. Meanwhile, the ground began to shake, and the blue flames swirling around them began to spread, emitting light.

“Irene.”

Ciel wrapped his arms around Irene from behind, shielding her with his body. The uncertainty of how things were turning out made him anxious.

“Let go of my arm!”

Seo-yoon shouted with a voice full of panic. The space was closing on its own. Irene also noticed the space Seo-yoon was trying to escape through was slowly closing and looked at her arm.

Remembering when a monster’s arm fell off when the space was closed before, Irene’s lips curled up.

“You know what, Seo-yoon?”

“Shut up and just let go!”

Irene laughed even brighter, squeezing harder on Seo-yoon’s arm she was holding.

“Ow! That f*cking hurts!”

“You seem to be unsatisfied with your low rank. But did you know there’s something worse than being at the bottom like that?”

“What?”

“Guides at least keep their lives safe. But ordinary people can’t do that. And there’s something even lower than the bottom, a semi-basement, shall we say? Do you know about the special forces? It’s a place where people make barricades out of their comrades’ bodies to survive.”

“……”

Seo-yoon stopped breathing at the familiar words Irene spat out and looked at Irene through the space gap. The round green eyes were looking at her cheerfully.

“And there’s a treatment worse than the special forces. Should I say it’s the basement of the basement? No, if the special forces are the semi-basement, that place is the embodiment of a basement.”

“H-How do you…”

“Why do you think you’re the only one who came over from Korea?”
