A Demon Appears in the Treasure Vault.

The demon’s features were so androgynous that it was impossible to tell if it was a boy or a girl. Staring at the creature, I couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease.

‘Why is a demon here?’

I combed through my thoughts but came up empty.

Did I miss something?

Even as I questioned myself, the answer remained a firm no.

There was no connection between Ashies’ story and demons—not even a hint of one.@@novelbin@@

Sure, stories didn’t always unfold like programmed scripts, but even with that flexibility, this demon’s sudden appearance felt absurdly out of place.

And yet, the longer I looked, the more something nagged at me.

‘Have I seen it somewhere before?’

The demon seemed oddly familiar.

If so, it had to be one of the NPCs from Tower of Souls.

But where had I seen it?

“Hmm?”

As I searched my memory, the demon—who’d been lazily kicking treasures around—locked eyes with me.

“Huh? You?!”

Its eyes went wide with surprise the moment it saw me—like it knew me.

Then, as if reuniting with an old friend, the demon broke into a bright, mischievous smile.

“Wow! I was just looking for you, and here we meet? This is amazing! I’m already having so much fun!”

“…Do you know me? I don’t recall ever meeting you.”

“Of course, I know you! You’re the Master of the Mage Tower, aren’t you?”

If my hunch was right, Mirabel was supposed to be the Mage Tower’s master.
