I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

107 – Verb (5)

“Is it okay to go there?”

“Huh? What?”

Lilia was answering the Prophet’s words nonchalantly and solving the ‘Today’s Magic Quiz’ on the corner of the newspaper.

“The devil of the reverse sky.”

“Ah, he? Of course he’s fine. He’s not a preschooler, so he’ll do just fine.”

She stopped reading the book she borrowed from the Stellar library and responded to the Prophet’s words.

“Hey, tell me straight up. What is the Devil of Reverse Heaven? It even has a proper name.”

“I see. Excuse me. This has become a habit, stop it.”

The Prophet bowed his head like a wooden stone and continued the question he was asking again.

“So that’s the reverse… No, it’s Iba-san. Would it be okay if I went to monster subjugation?”

“Then it’s okay, what’s not okay.”

“I was wondering if something like… An accident didn’t happen.”

Lillia frowned at those words and closed her newspaper.

“Then you’re proud to turn down a kid who came to earn money? A crazy guy doesn’t know how important money is.”

“But isn’t he a candidate for the Demon King? A more valuable official…”

“Yes, I thought so at one time.”

Lillia closed her eyes and remembered the many accidents he had been through. The days when her body and mind were tired.

That’s why she created various spells and arrangements for Eva. A typical example is a promise not to get blood on your clothes.

“That’s why I told you about the chlorine, and I sent you many promises like vines.”

Iva can now use Chloride. He remembers that it was after coming out of the seal. There is no Morbe. Iva said he killed himself inside the seal. I don’t use the radical fighting method like before. I saw the match against Stella the other day, but he was using a spear and a sword instead of fists. His skill was also excellent, so it seemed that there would be no problem in fighting.

‘But where did you learn such martial arts?’

Lilia recalled the beautiful movement she saw then, like a flower petal, and she was lost in her curiosity for a moment, but she quickly brushed it off.

Anyway, he can make contact, has no visible threats, and knows how to use his powers correctly.

“Isn’t it time to trust you?”

“They said it was good because I was just making money…”

Stella was sarcastic.

“What! Then, why didn’t our great warrior candidate follow?”

“I, I have a situation. I can’t go out recklessly when the Holy Knights are chasing me. Why didn’t you follow me?”

Actually, I was going to follow you, so Eva refused as an excuse.

Lilia smiled and opened the newspaper again.

“I had a situation too.”

“What matter?”

Lillia buried her body on her couch and she said why.

“Annoyance is a serious reason that is incomparable to you. Subjugation of monsters is bloody and smelly, so what do you do?”

“You are the answer.”

“Oh, how long has it been since you’ve seen me?”

Lilia smiled.

She said that in the first place, she went out because Iba wanted to earn her own money without her own help, so even if she didn’t have a serious reason for bothering her, she wouldn’t have intervened.

“I’m not an idiot either. I read carefully what happened and what kind of reward I was given, and I gave permission. Rather, if an opponent with better skills comes out, I’ll be able to defeat it and come out.”

After she had finished all her problems in the newspaper, Lilia closed her newspaper with satisfaction.

“If you are overprotective about making money, you will only rebel.”

Infuriated by those words, Stella glared at Lilia in displeasure.

Lilia generously accepted Iva’s financial gain with the heart of her teacher who wanted her disciple to be self-reliant. Although she was frankly anxious ….

Still, it’s not polite to trust me once.

With that in mind, she continued the snowball fight with Stella.

**

As expected, I don’t know what’s going on in the world. Reality always flies above my imagination.

It was the same this time too.

I tried to make money through hard work for the first time after coming to this world, but I never thought I would run into the leader of the Holy Knights.

“What about monsters? Is this the first time you’ve seen a human monster?”

That neatly cut beige hair, a height that is comparable to that of a man, and a greatsword that still exudes great majesty even though the scabbard has changed.

No matter how you look at it, he looks the same as the knight commander I saw in the novel.

Above all, that laxity.

I’m not wearing armor or other clothing that symbolizes the Holy Knights in order to hide my identity, but look at that necklace. Isn’t there a sign of the cathedral?

Of course, you could just think of it as a faithful believer. But usually such necklaces are not trimmed to be used as daggers in an emergency.

What’s more, ordinary people don’t have a well-developed sixth sense to distinguish between monsters and humans. Fortunately, that sixth sense isn’t as strong as Wiz’s, so it seems like he didn’t notice that I’m a devil, but the one in front of me right now is the commander of the Holy Knights, not anyone else.

If I don’t care, I might get closer to my true identity.

I sarcastically called the Order of the Holy Knights, but I did not send them away, hiding the fact that I saw through to the facts beyond. On the contrary, it would be more trustworthy. If you notice something but don’t bring it out, it’s suspicious. He intentionally exposes a fragment of it to get out of her gaze.

“Amazing. Did you recognize me as a Templar?”

“Look at that necklace. The Holy Knights are the only b*tches who cut the church’s evidence like that.”

“Ha ha ha! You’re right. But, can I use that tone of voice knowingly?”

The leader brought her face closer to me with a stern voice, and I reciprocated by touching our foreheads.

“Then, would a noble paladin cut someone’s throat just because he barely spoke?”

She erased her grim face in an instant and smiled.

“That’s correct, kid.”

He slapped my back roughly and grumbled.

“It’s not funny, isn’t it polite to scare such a pretty and strong-looking older sister?”

“The authority of the cathedral will fall to the ground. The watchdog is like this.”

“It’s okay. We’ve been apart since long ago. How many people believe in God these days?”

She committed her blasphemy without hesitation and then set her lips to her own necklace.

“Oh, you’re so amazing. So what the f*ck did you come to me all of a sudden? Because human-shaped monsters are so strange? You’ve probably been watching monsters to death, but you seem to be overwhelmed with intellectual curiosity and can’t control it.”

“Oh that’s not it.”

The leader shook her head.

“I just came here because I was curious to look the strongest.”

“You’ve come to the right place.”

Hey, you have a good eye for people. I smiled happily and put her palms on hers.

“As expected, everyone except you and me look so simple, don’t they?”

“Then, this isn’t some kind of demon suppression meeting, it’s just a few monsters from the outskirts, so why do powerful people come here? Other than me and you…”

Looking around, I forgot what to say.

“There’s another one.”

Why is there a person here who is treated as the most important force among demons? I fixed my eyes on it with a laugh that came out naturally.

“I’m sorry, but the Demon Lord can’t be hired for such a private job…”

“Ah… Is that so…? I’m sorry.”

Innis bowed his head and apologized to the receptionist in front of the reception. Her face flushed red, and she ran away as if she were running away.

Even so, she couldn’t get rid of her lingering feelings at all. She looked at the way out and couldn’t take her steps.

Of course. How could someone belonging to an official organization like the Demon Lord be hired for such a chore? The pay is not right, and the devil’s watch cannot be hired in the first place because it is impossible to have a side job according to the official regulations.

This commander of the Holy Knights was probably hired because he hid his affiliation.

But Innis had no intention of hiding his true identity. How could he be hired to walk around in a uniform like that openly?

Innis, far from leaving, was still part of the crowd.

I was playful for a while, so I hid my presence and walked behind her. I imitated Stella’s walking method for a while. It doesn’t usually work, but only when it’s like this. After all, people are the best when they choose others. This is a theory I have tested.

That’s how I succeeded in going behind her without being noticed by Innis. I put her chin on her shoulder without hesitation and watched her whisper.

“What are you doing?”

“Whoa. Who, who… What?!”

As expected, a good response came back. Satisfied, I lifted her chin and laughed.

“It’s been a while Innis.”

Where did all the gloomy and regretful expressions from earlier go? With a smile like the sun, she ran towards me and hugged me.

“Eva!”

“hahahaha Innis choking.”

“Why did you leave so soon in Whirtrum! It’s too much…”

“Ha ha ha I was bad.”

Her arm dug into my neck and tightened it gradually. It looks like her cervical vertebrae are about to break. I was faced with a strange experience in which tenderness and affection were soon reduced to pain.

If Stella was like this, she would have been able to kick her up, but she couldn’t bear to do such a thing to Innis because of her conscience.

“Innis, should we talk about it from afar? I think others are watching.”

“Yeah… Wait a minute…”

“It’s been a while and I’m suffocating? Innis, haven’t you been digging your ears lately? Can I dig them later?”

Is this friend very lonely? The Golden Retriever, who was away from the owner, felt moderate joy and pain at the sensation of pressing his body. The fact that someone welcomed me this much was something to be delighted with, but if that degree was this great, I have the illusion that this was not a welcome but a resentment.

She was both happy and bewildered as she repeatedly asked me to ask her face and look at me.

“…The smell of perfume.”

Then, he muttered something like that all of a sudden. Momentarily stronger

“Fortress Iba, sprayed with perfume?”

“Yes, I got it from someone.”

“Who? Lillia?”

“No…”

“Are you a girl?”

“That’s right.”

“Who?”

“I got it as a gift from Lillia’s mother.”

“Ah… Ahahahaha, that’s right.”

Innis suddenly smiled shyly and removed his hand from my body.

“Lilia has already said hello to her parents… That’s right, I have to visit soon…”

As Inis muttered that, I suddenly remembered her family history. She tried to protect her sister in the past [Sunset], But the magic pain that hurt her.

From that reminiscence, I got a question and brought it out without hesitation. It may have been an excuse for her, but it was also important to her.

“Right Innis, did you show your face to your parents?”

Innis shook her head.

“Still…? So you haven’t seen your family’s face since you became a demon?”

“Yeah… Not even once after going to the training center…”

“Oh…”

It means that I have been without contact with my family for over ten years. No matter how severe the trauma is, it is not that he has committed a sin that the heavens will be angry with, so is there any reason for that?

This is her own attitude problem, not her fault and no one else’s fault.

‘Huh? For a moment.’

But why is Innis so reluctant to meet her family in Ilios? For tourism or vacation?

That can’t be. Among the many cities, there is only one reason to return to Ilios, his hometown.

Of course, it was to meet my family.

Then why did she come here without meeting her family right away?

As I continued to speculate, I inadvertently came up with an assumption.

Even after returning to her hometown, she still couldn’t make up her mind to face her family, and tried to do something familiar (monster subjugation) to divert her nervous mind from calming down….

Such an assumption.

Looking at Innis’ expression, I thought this assumption would be very valid. She is bold in strange places, but infinitely timid in places like this. After all, people’s temperaments are very diverse.

Suddenly, I felt a presence from behind, and when I looked, I saw that one of her hands was approaching to slap me on the back. I sighed at it and squinted my eyes in displeasure.

“What is it? I was wondering where I was going instead of talking to people…”

She hit my back with her free hand. The sound was like a thunderbolt, and pain equal to that sound pierced through my back.

“You were talking to your girlfriend? Hey, do you have such a cute girlfriend?”

This is the captain of the knights, you idiot. Where has the noble and holy hypocrisy that comes to mind when you think of a paladin? I was dumbfounded and laughed.

“Who, who are you…?”

Innis looked at her and clung to my arm.

“Hey, your girlfriend is so cute.”

It seems that such an action further aroused the leader’s lust. The leader brought his face closer to Innis and showed off his sharp, beautiful features.

“Hello, what’s your name? Would you like to hang out with me for a while?”

I pushed her cheek away.

“Don’t flirt. Are you flirting with the devil when you have a seat?”

“Yeah, what is that? If it’s pretty, it’s good.”

“…That’s it.”

The leader smiled cheerfully and proudly declared that there was no hindrance to temptation, such as the fact that it was a demonic realm. Considering the long-standing hostile relationship between the Holy Knights and the Tsushima Special Police, which do similar things, this is a very strange statement.

“hahahahaha! Okay, okay, yes, your girlfriend must feel very bad in front of her boyfriend.”

“No, it just makes me feel bad to see your insidious behavior.”

“What is it, then can I flirt with you from behind?”

“Try it. It’ll be twisted.”

It is easy to mistake Innis for looking like a gentle puppy, but she is also a human who has piled dozens or hundreds of corpses of monsters. She is a person who has a strong will behind her innocent face. She should be like a wolf in sheep’s clothing and a phoenix that looks like a sparrow.

She barely trusts her face and tries to seduce her, but she is repulsed in an instant.

“Three minutes is enough to blow off your cheeks, I bet my heart.”

“Oh, what will happen if you win that heart?”

“It’s a bomb, so it explodes right after receiving it. It just turns into ashes.”

“hahahahaha, I really want that, you damn bastard.”

Innis clung to my arm even more. Her face was loose and the corners of her mouth were twitching as if she was holding back her laughter. Also our puppies. It looks like I’m happy to wrap myself up.

The joy of others is my joy, my joy is only my joy. I, who has thorough nationalism in my feelings, has a true humanity that invades and forcibly shares the feelings of others and never gives my own feelings. Even one emotion is full of greed and does not want to share it.

As a happiness evangelist, even I felt happy seeing her like that.

Innis came up to my ear with her flushed face and whispered.

“That… Can’t you deny it?

“Why?”

“That’s right! There’s no need to do that… Ehehehe… hehehe…”

Hmm, a lot of laughter is a good thing. Everything else should be spared, but as far as laughter is concerned, Heffer is fine.

“Those who applied for monster subjugation, please gather!”

Now it’s time to go to the part-time job. I moved my arm to get away from Innis.

Just when his arm healed, Innis pulled his arm again.

“That!”

What is that? At least it won’t be a masculine pronoun. I stopped walking as she wished to hear what would follow.

“Hey, can we have dinner together later? It’s been a while, yes, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. Of course, I can’t help but say it’s not been a while since I haven’t seen you in a month or so, but… Ah, hahahaha.”

She was talking gibberish, then looked straight at me.

“I’ll wait…Would you like to have dinner together?”

“Of course it’s fine. Oh, should I call Lilia too? Wait a minute. I’m going to the fire.”

“Oh no!”

Innis hastily stopped me from pulling out my wand.

“I know how to use Chloride now. Later I will… Oh no, not that. Just…”

She gradually slowed down her words, which she had been stretching out impatiently, and moved her lips softly.

“Can’t it just be you and me…?”
