Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 167 You Can’t Enter Cohen’s Box Without Some Work

【ah--】

Yali's eyes widened.
[But I don’t feel anything…]

"Anyway, you have to come back with me and get that alcohol out. The day a wizard uses a fire spell on you, you'll know you were wrong!" Cohen ordered. "You're such a big unicorn, and you're still so cheeky!"

Although Yali felt that even if it exploded, it should not be a big problem. It knew that even if it was dismembered, it could be put back together again - it had heard those researchers say, "We've tried dismemberment. If you can't kill it, lock it up."

But seeing as Cohen really cared about me...

[Okay...] Yali said reluctantly.

"Then what should we do..." the unicorns wailed. "If we get drunk, wizards will steal our butts!"

Would you rather have your ass stolen by a wizard than drink...

Cohen felt that the image of the unicorn in his mind had collapsed. Fortunately, the first impression that the unicorn leader had given Cohen was quite solid...

[Where are you taking Ali?] The unicorn leader came close to Cohen and asked, [Um... is it safe?]

"?"

Cohen looked into the unicorn leader's eyes.

It kicked its hooves awkwardly.

Cohen had thought about bringing the unicorn into the box in the future, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

“Safety is safety…”

Cohen whetted the appetite of unicorns.

"But what I have is just a magic box. If I take you with me..."

It's very big there.

Ali didn't really want to stay in there alone - although she would definitely not be able to drink after being caught by Cohen, it was better to take the unicorns with her than to stay alone with that stupid dragon.

【We are going with Yali! 】

a unicorn yelled.

【Go together! 】

another unicorn called out.

【We want to drink! 】

The third unicorn followed suit.

"Take us with you!" the unicorn leader urged Cohen. "We'll help you grow wheat and grapes... and make wine—"

"Besides drinking? Don't you have any other goals in life that you want to achieve?"

Cohen asked,
"There's nothing in my box except three snakes, a dragon, hundreds of sheep, and dozens of pigs. You won't see any centaurs or forests there, and you'll be very—"

"That's even better!" cheered the unicorn who had just been clamoring to go with Ali. "Centaurs often come to persuade us not to drink..."

"..."

I can already understand the centaurs' mood.

"Take us with you, take us with you..." The unicorn cub that had given Cohen the flower before jumped up to Cohen, biting the hem of Cohen's clothes and begging, "I'll grow you some beautiful flowers!"

"Are you a nightmare or a succubus..." Cohen squeezed out a word from between his teeth to Yali.

Regardless of Aly's species, the unicorns were now determined to leave the forest—because Cohen was going to take Aly away, and without her, their "collective drunken safety" wouldn't be guaranteed. Furthermore, they felt the sanctuary Cohen offered was far safer than the forest, where wizard poachers would spawn from time to time, but Cohen's chest sounded quite secluded.

"Okay," Cohen agreed.

Now he could collect things like unicorn hair at any time, and they could also add a touch of justice to his box - fire dragons, basilisks, nightmares, the evil atmosphere in the box was too strong and needed to be balanced.

[Ding! Sin value +300]

[Note: This is kidnapping, naked kidnapping!]
It's clearly something we both agreed to!

Cohen felt that the system had become disordered. No matter what he did, it felt that he was not a good person. So the sin value was the sin value, and the sin value could be used to buy souls.

"I'm going to go get the box. Do you want to go say goodbye to the other species—?"

Cohen ventured.

【no. 】

The unicorn leader said "wisely",
[The centaurs will definitely stop us if they find out. We have to sneak away...]

The unicorns in the Forbidden Forest are so lucky to have a leader like you!
Cohen had to strain his expression to make his face look normal.

Leaving the Forbidden Forest again, this time Cohen returned to the castle to retrieve the box. The Quidditch match continued—this time it lasted a bit too long. In the past, the battles were over in less than half an hour...

It looked like a very intense fight.

On the way back, Cohen saw Xavier asking for help at the gate of Hogwarts Castle, but due to the influence of the spell, Xavier no longer remembered Cohen.

"I don't remember what happened. When I regained consciousness, I was lying on the grass outside Hogwarts..." Xavier explained to Filch, "I guess someone attacked me - you have to remember this, Argus, when I go to the Three Broomsticks, you have to help me prove it to Darren and Mark..."

"I'm busy," said Filch. "Bernhard, you know I never go to pubs—"

"We old workers no longer discriminate against Squibs—to be honest, we've almost forgotten all those spells now." Xavier waved his hand indifferently. "You don't have to spend your whole life brooding over those jokes of theirs..."

"What are you doing here, little brat!" Filch interrupted Xavier. His eyes passed over Xavier and he saw Cohen who was about to slip in from the side.

"Let's go back to the castle." Cohen blinked. "Today is the weekend."

"Shouldn't you be watching the game?"

Filch narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Cohen's clothes, as if trying to find grounds for putting him in solitary confinement.

Unfortunately, Cohen had already used a cleaning spell on the robe, and there was no sign that it had been wandered around outside.

"The competition was boring, so I came back early," Cohen said. "I can't ride a broom, and the principal canceled my class."

"How long have you been standing there?" Filch asked fiercely. "What did you hear?"

"Argus, did this kid do something wrong?" Xavier asked in confusion, "Why do you feel like..."

"Go back to your tavern!" Filch vented his anger on Xavier. "Don't cause trouble in school!"

Seeing that Filch was so unwelcome, Xavier left in frustration.

"What you just heard was us talking about a... a..." Filch grunted, "someone somewhere else."

I understand, I understand. “I have a friend.”

But Cohen had no intention of getting involved with Filch, as he still had to steal the unicorn.

I wonder if Dumbledore and the centaurs will get angry when they find out that the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest have all disappeared...
