One year later.
"My lord, please, I'm begging you. Just let me out."
"I really can't spend another day in the [Domain]."
"Please, my lord, let me out. I'll even be your slave!"
"I've really had enough of those two bastards. They flaunt their love in front of me every day. Do you think I've had it easy?"
"I'd barely been born before your teacher tricked me and sent me to the Abyss. When would I ever have seen someone of the opposite sex?"
"I've had enough, my lord! My lord?!"
"My lord, I know you can hear me! If you don't agree, I'll... I'll pester you every single day!"
Inside the Mage Tower in Goodness Home.
The Immortal's complaints rang in An Kai's ears.
Ever since the Hanks Couple had entered the [Domain] a year ago, An Kai had heard complaints like these every day.
When he was in a good mood, he unmuted the Immortal and listened to his grievances.
When he was in a bad mood, he simply blocked him out.
Today was one such example.
An Kai was in quite a good mood.
That was why he had unmuted the Immortal to listen to his complaints.
Letting the Immortal out was out of the question.
This fellow might have been weak, stupid, and slow to improve.
But...
He was the only surviving living being who had had close contact with Teacher.
No matter how he looked at it, An Kai would never let anything happen to him.
He had a feeling.
When he investigated "Teacher" in the future, he might well need the Immortal's help.
So...
The Immortal could only stay in the place An Kai considered safest-the Domain!
With the [Domain] there, nothing could happen to the Immortal unless An Kai died.
Inside the [Domain].
