104 – Verb (2)

This is the second time Iva has broken the seal. Maybe the next time it will be like that, and the next time it will be like that, everyone who watched the scene could be sure.

Iva cannot be controlled with restraints.

This has become a common point recognized by those who treat him as a person and those who do not.

Also, there was another thing in common that everyone there could feel. It was the fact that the danger like a bomb hovering over him had disappeared.

“Oh…”

Seeing Eva cheerfully breaking the seal, the Prophet exclaimed intrigued. And then that night, he left somewhere. To this day, she has not been seen.

Presia respected Monia’s opinion and decided to respect Iva’s opinion, but she nailed her, saying that she couldn’t give her too much freedom, and she left for the Witches’ Association.

It was a fairly finite decision to manage the target of the demon king candidate.

This was because, in addition to the complex guilt of Iva, Lilia, and Monia, she realized through her old friend, Morve, that rational demons are impossible to manage.

But she had prepared several defenses. I gave the bell to Lilia, Monia, and Iva and said, ‘Always ring this in case of danger. I will definitely visit you.’

As she left Asphodel, she said that in the future, she would put more effort into defeating various devil worshipers and vampires and collecting their magic.

Looking at the sight of Iva breaking the seal, Wiz only let out something mixed with a sigh of relief and a yawn.

In this way, the person who could physically restrain him disappeared, and the desire to restrain him also disappeared among other characters.

However, what kind of binding force he needs is a definite matter.

This restraint meant prevention, not follow-up measures such as enforcing the covenant with Lillia.

An official who did not infringe on Iva’s freedom as much as possible, but excluded malicious intent to use him like Morbe, that was the very prevention.

In other words, he needed someone to monitor and manage him.

“I’m not an idiot either. As a social animal, I’m willing to compromise to some extent. I won’t make a crazy claim to leave the Demon King candidate unattended.”

After breakfast, Iba looked at the two women as she smelled the scent of herbal tea for dessert. Perhaps the woman we talked about last night.

“So, what were you talking about in my situation?”

Based on the previous conversation, I had roughly predicted what kind of conflict there would be between the two, but I was sure to ask. It was strange and fun that there wasn’t a single day that we didn’t fight after meeting each other.

As expected, fighting others is fun.

Lilia answered before Iva finished speaking.

“This woman said something that wasn’t even funny.”

“Why isn’t that funny? Sounds like a good idea.”

Stella retorted with a small sneer.

“What’s strange about a demon king candidate being managed by a hero candidate? We’ll take Iba with us.”

Eva was surprised inside. Again, this is a pretty radical opinion. Monia seems to be like that too, and the two of them made eye contact and blinked. Monia asked with the shape of her mouth.

‘Didn’t I respect your opinion?’

‘I thought so too.’

A free world after all. Is there any freedom to ignore tacit agreements? Eva returned her gaze to Stella with a slight sneer.

In contrast to that outrageous opinion, she was sipping her tea in a calm manner. As if sporting her long eyelashes, she opened her eyes, which had been closed, and her eyes, shining like brilliant stars, she focused on him.

She said with a kind smile.

“Don’t feel too bad, Iva. This isn’t because I disrespect you. It’s because I respect you.”

Eba laughed even more at that answer and became more sarcastic.

“What? You mean metaphorically kill me?”

“Wrong. It’s where the most dangerous people who can kill you are gathered. Paradoxically, it’s also the safest place to protect you.”

I was surprised by her remarks, but it wasn’t that much of a surprise. Ever since her true identity was discovered, she had been thinking that Stella would be like this. She was, so she wasn’t too offended.

“Eva, this doesn’t mean I’ll lock you up there. Literally, come with me.”

Ever since she was Spica, she used to be particularly overprotective of Eva. They were not much different in age, but they were anxious like a child who was left unattended by the stream, always wanting to keep him safe.

“Let’s act together in the Holy Knights.”

This was to keep the rare innocence in the barren era. However, over time, most intentions change. So did Spica.

The protection of Iva, which was to protect her humanity, gradually began to change into the protection of Iva herself. The more her comrades died around her and the more things were broken, the bigger the obsession grew.

And now, Stella stabbed him with her own hand and saw the rampage it caused. In a way, it was natural for her to come up with tough measures to protect her Iba.

“Then at least you’ll be safe from the demons. You know that? Demons can never be killed by normal means. But we specialize in killing demons. Well, of course it can be unreliable. With… Because I stabbed you! But that’s because there was no solidarity. If we were in solidarity, we could deal with an unexpected surprise attack. If you and I join hands, that will never happen again. So… So, Iba.”

Stella spoke to him like a squeeze, as if pleading.

“Stay with me. I’ll make you happy no matter what.”

Those eyes shone as strong as the morning stars. It was like a star that pierced the blue sky and poured its own light.

“Oh, Iva, have you been confessed to?”

Monia was startled and slapped her hand on Iva’s back, revealing her excitement. It was the same reaction as a girl reading a romance novel. Contrary to Monia, Lillia frowned and clicked her tongue as strongly as someone who had bitten her worm.

“I think it’s probably similar. It’s really impressive. But I wish I could do it at a different time and place. Personally, my preferred place and atmosphere is a flower garden under a night sky full of the Milky Way, where the lights of fireflies shimmer like the light of another star. I prefer the situation.”

Compared to those two, Eba did not panic and reacted calmly. It was because it was something she had heard often in her previous life as well. She was often told that female friendship was close to love. These were the words I heard from Spica and Stella, not from anyone else. Eva agreed.

Originally, friendship is also a form of love, so the promise to make her friend happy was an oath he made often, though he never said it. The friend who had sworn so secretly died first like an insect dropping, but it was not that surprising. It happens often. However, it was a sad thing.

Stella bit her lip as she looked at the eva that she hadn’t taken seriously.

“Iva, I’m serious…”

As if Lillia couldn’t take it anymore, she cut her off.

“Yes, serious bullsh*t.”

Frightened of that, Stella glared at Lilia.

“Mother, is it okay for her daughter to fight with her friend?”

“That’s how they grow up.”

“Aha.”

“And my daughter isn’t normal, she’s fine. If she was hurt by something like that, she would have beaten the witch a long time ago.”

“That’s right.”

Iva watched the confrontation between the two while whispering with Monia. Lillia passed the slightly overheard conversation between the two in one ear and glared at Stella.

“From the beginning, the premise is wrong. It is not the devil itself that threatens Iba, but the ones who worship and use it. In a word, magicians. Of course, the expert in dealing with such a guy is not a wizard like me? What does Iba say? Aren’t you just doing it to take the demon lord candidate and get credit for it?”

Bang!

Stella hit her desk hard.

“It’s not like that…”

“If it’s not like that, what is it? There must be a good reason. And this is my table. Don’t mess with it.”

Far from being intimidated by this, Lilia rather glared at her even more coldly. Just looking at her gaze as she landed on Stella, like a butterfly made of ice, made her limbs tingle.

“That’s…!”

Stella looked away from her. When that gaze reached Monia and Iva, she bowed to Monia and apologized for her rudeness. She looked at him with her gloomy, unsatisfied eyes, then gnashed her teeth and lowered her head.

“That’s…”

She wanted to openly reveal her relationship with him, but because of this, she was afraid that she would be a nuisance to Eva, so she did not dare to say it. Besides, she has little credibility, so there’s no way you can trust her.

She has a relationship with him since her previous life, and transcends time, space, and even death, and she is reunited like this. Who would believe these words?

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

“I wanted to hide it, but I can’t help it…”

Stella raised her head confidently and then punched herself in the chest.

“Sah, actually, Iva and I are old friends. We used to grow up in the same village, and one day, Eva was kidnapped by a devil worshiper. She’s been so far away and we’re reunited like this!”

Lilia let out a sigh as if it were absurd. She then put her fingers around her temple and twirled them.

“Are you crazy? You want me to believe that? There wasn’t really much emotion when I met you guys.”

“What can I do if it’s true? I lost all of her old memories while awakening to my superpowers. Iba must have also lost her past memories due to her hard torture.”

Stella turned her gaze to Eva as if asking for her help. Her eyes were like those of a charming cat. It’s usually like a swift tiger, but it only becomes a cat when it’s like this.

Eva found her words interesting. It’s a good excuse to explain their close relationship without being questioned by others.

“That’s right. I thought it was Gingamin at first, but when I saw her face, I remembered everything.”

Eva nodded her head in affirmation of Stella’s words.

“…What?”

“To add a bit more, I was the one who said we should hide it. My situation hasn’t been finalized yet, so I thought showing off our friendship would only harm Stella.”

Lillia asked with an expression as if her lead was pressed against her chest.

“Gee, is it real?”

Eva nodded her head again. Seeing her like that, Stella smiled brightly.

“Ha ha ha! See? Eva will follow me!”

“No, when did I say that b*tch?”

At that time, Wiz appeared with a long yawn and approached them.

“Haam… I’m against that…”

“Oh Wiz, are you awake?”

Coming closer, she pulled Stella’s chair and she landed on her lap. Her wizz looked up at Stella, naturally burying her own back in her chest.

“Taking Eva… Means going back…? I hate it…”

Upon hearing that, her pervasive smile gradually hardened.

“Stella…We…Let’s run away a little longer… Huh?”

Stella gave a weak hug to the little girl who had come into her arms. Perhaps she was wandering without clearing her mind yet, her expression was the same as a slightly firm smile.

“You ran away from home and said you would take Iva back? With what guts? If a runaway warrior candidate brought a Demon King candidate, would the cathedral welcome you? Can you prevent Iva’s punishment with your power in the first place?”

Lilia continued her attack without missing the moment. Stella looked blankly into the void, frowning her eyebrows as if she was still deeply troubled.

“Hey.”

“Stella…?”

“Leave him to worry. He’ll decide for himself.”

Deliberately stopping the two urging people, Eva looked at her spear.

“Or, would you like to leave it to that person over there? What are you going to do next?”

She then raised her finger towards it.

Lillia turned her eyes toward that place and had the most face up to now.

“Who…? Why is that bastard?”

Even Monia hardened her face in the scenery of her window.

Eva calmly rose from her seat and opened the window. She felt the distinctive scent of the wind blowing through it.

The Prophet bowed and thanked him.

“Thank you for the right to speak. Then I dare you to speak.”

Then he continued talking.

“I’d like to go to Ilios, the city of the small sun, and think about it. This is where the trials of the Flower Witch and the Devil of Reverse Heaven are located.”

**

Solusio, City of Solitude.

There was a person walking briskly down the hallway of the headquarters of the 13th Division of the Tsushima Special Police.

Since it is a city of solitude, it is customary to maintain an appropriate speed when walking so as not to bump into each other. But he didn’t care at all, and compared to the others, he walked at the speed of a squirrel next to a tortoise.

Boom!

The sound of a huge door rang, cutting off the stillness of the desolate city for a moment. Unsurprisingly, this door also had the same location as the previous footsteps.

“I want to take a vacation!”

In her hand was a vacation permit, and in her arms was a letter from her family.

When the captain’s sharp gaze caught the door inside, she bowed her head, bowing her dignified demeanor.

“Why?”

“I wanted to see my family for the first time in a long time… Well, he sent me a letter… I thought I’d visit him… Oh, that’s it. Now that I’ve finished my Whitroom work… No. Will it be? hehehe.”

She slipped the permit on her desk and then she stepped back. The captain, who read it quickly, nodded her head.

“Recognized. Reasonable reasons. I haven’t taken vacation in the meantime, so there is no reason to deny approval.”

She slammed the stamp on the paper and scribbled red letters on her permit.

“Permission! I’ll give you a month’s leave!”

Her captain gave her encouragement as he glared at her with his cold eyes.

“Have a nice holiday in Ilios, Innis.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

Innis bent his waist at a knife-like angle.
