I’ll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

 

It was a completely empty story.

 

Because she did experience the effect of potion properly.

 

As if he had read Filina’s thoughts, Hugh added timidly.

 

“By the way, the sensation you felt was not the potion’s power.
Perhaps the opposite effect occurred.”

 

He meant that the source of power that Filina had felt so far was not from the potion.

 

It was a different power and mistakenly thought it was the potion’s effect.

 

So what were the strange forces that she had experienced so far?

 

Filina asked with a look of incomprehension.

 

“What’s the opposite? I definitely felt the power of the potion during the test and when I fought against the demons.”

 

“But the basic rules of potion didn’t work.”

 

The rule he was talking about was that it didn’t work until a certain amount of time after taking potions.
In addition, the effect was also proportional to the dose of potion.

 

“It didn’t make sense that you didn’t feel any aftereffects after drinking the potions in the first place.
No matter how compatible you were with the potions, it’s normal to feel a very brief sense of abnormality afterwards.”

 

Hugh squinted his eyes.

 

“As soon as the potion enters your body, it becomes like water, so there’s no way you’ll feel the aftereffects.”

 

Filina opened her mouth with a confused face at his words.

 

“No, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Then how are you going to explain the power I’ve experienced so far? Is there anyone who can’t accept magic?”

 

Hugh, who was looking at her still, had a crooked face and was brainwashed.

 

“……Well, such people do exist.
Conservative people who really don’t match me from beginning to end.”

 

He suddenly said with a tearful expression.

 

“I hope you don’t belong in that group, Filina.”

 

“……Who the hell are the people you’re talking about?”

 

She asked, frowning.
Then Hugh raised his lips smoothly.

 

“The priests who live in the temple.”

 

The voice from his mouth distorted Filina’s face.

 

“Are you kidding me?”

 

Hugh shrugged his shoulders as she spoke with an absurd look.

 

“I never played a joke.
I’ve never seen anyone that magic won’t work on them except for priests who use divine power.”

 

“……I don’t believe in God.
If there was really a god in this world, my life wouldn’t be this painful.”

 

Filina’s voice was filled with dark resentment.

 

Hugh tilted his head and laughed softly.

 

“Yes, I don’t believe in God either.”

 

A thin smile smoothed over his lips.

 

No matter how much the influence of religion decreased, most of the imperial people still worshipped God.

 

In particular, the more aristocratic the atmosphere was.

 

This was because there were still nobles who tried to control the behavior of the imperial people through religion.

 

So Hugh found Filina’s reaction refreshing.
He could feel the noble anger on her face.

 

He opened his mouth with a rueful look.

 

“I’m sorry you’re disappointed, but there is no way I can explain what you are now, unless you are a sacred force.”

 

Hugh’s words made her adjust her thoughts for a moment.

 

So his words mean that the power she had believed to be the effect of the potion was actually sacred power?

 

……that strong power was entirely hers?

 

‘I don’t believe in God, how would I have the power of the god…’

 

Furthermore, she has never had this power in her five lives.

 

A false smile broke out between Filina’s lips.

 

It was absolutely ridiculous.

 

Looking blankly into the air, she suddenly turned her head and asked Hugh.

 

“So you’re saying I’m free to use that power without drinking potion?”

 

“Don’t ask me that.”

 

Hugh said indifferently with an irresponsible face.
Filina rose from her seat, wrinkling her eyebrows.

 

She said as she moved to the table next to the bed.

 

“I found out because of you, so you have to take the least responsibility.”

 

She put her fist on the table, and stared earnestly at the flat wooden board.

 

Then, with moderate force, she punched the table.

 

Bang!

 

The sound of the wooden board banging against her hand was heard.
The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet.

 

 

Filina, who was quietly looking at the normal table, turned her head and looked at Hugh.

 

“Why don’t I have any power?”

 

If what Hugh said was true, shouldn’t a table like this be broken easily with one finger?

 

Hugh, who looked bewildered at her words, shook his head and opened his mouth.

 

“If the sacred power is activated at any time like that, how do you intend to live from now on? Do you want to destroy everything?”

 

Filina, who was looking at him, nodded convinced and walked to Hugh again.

 

Hugh said in a sophisticated voice.

 

“In fact, there’s only one difference between divine power and magic.
It is sometimes referred to as the front and back of a coin, or black and white.
It seems completely different, but there is actually a lot of overlap.
So if the magnitude of the power is the same, it can’t affect you in any way.”

 

Filina, who was listening to him in silence, still recited with a confused face.

 

“To be honest, I don’t believe it at all.
Out of the blue, divine power?….
I’ve never had this kind of power before…….”

 

Hugh frowned as if it was hard to understand what she said in a distressing voice.
