115 – Verbs (13)

“…I’m back soon.”

“Then how long will it take?”

With a grin, Eva roughly threw away the demon worshiper she had dragged to the ground. His hand had been severed, and the amputation was loosely wrapped in torn cloth.

“Because I can’t die from excessive blood loss… I’ve only dealt with it. If you’re going to interrogate me, just stop the bleeding.”

Unable to play curse has been erased. I saved it at best, but it would be difficult if I died. But instead, it was branded. Any time Iva let go of her magical powers, the severed parts would bleed again.

The worshiper who rolled to the ground was moving his maddening mouth in his terrified face.

“I can’t die here… There’s still time… Time…”

Seeing her muttering that, Ennis hardened her eyes coldly. He didn’t want to die, so why did he scatter death all this time? Innis’s ethical standards made no sense. He didn’t even want to understand.

“Whoa…”

With a long sigh, Eva sat down right next to Stella.

Devil’s power is very convenient, but the side effects were not easy.

The problem was that I was getting too tired. Mental fatigue goes up beyond physical fatigue.

Also, although it is a side effect that is insignificant compared to fatigue, it was also a problem that it was diagnosed because it was not easy to control emotions.

He lifted his sleepy eyelids and saw Innis brandishing his staff. It was a scene in which the worshiper could not resist and was impotently imprisoned. Tight chains were wrapped around his arms and legs, and a hard gag was placed around his mouth.

The voice that had been muttering tired of death stopped.

“I put a gag on it, but I guess I’ll have to release it again for interrogation? But, Iva, how did you do this…?”

“Uh… I just… I did a little trick.”

While saying that, Iva wiped the sweat from her forehead, then Innis looked at him with a worried expression.

“Are you okay…?”

It was inevitable that Innis was worried. His face was haggard.

He recalls the death of a loved one and battles, and his body is tired. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. The depth of the dark circles drawn around his eyes increased.

Innis was worried that he might have recalled painful memories of the past while meeting a devil worshiper. Maybe he had a terrible memory again after helping himself.

“Hmm… That’s not okay.”

Eva, who was more fatigued than she could have imagined, replied with a bitter smile. Seeing this, Innis felt sorry for her. After setting Eva on fire, her feelings of entitlement and guilt, which had been sleeping inside her all along, were spurred on.

‘It’s because of me… Everything… Then I’ll take responsibility…’

While she was developing a shady desire inside her, using her guilt as an excuse, Stella opened her mouth and sarcastically.

“So why are you in such a hurry?”

“It wasn’t urgent.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

“…Think whatever you want.”

She couldn’t even bother returning that sarcasm, Iva spat. Innis listened to the conversation between the two and asked.

“Are you two… Close?”

“Yeah, I told you before. I have a childhood friend. He’s a boy.”

“Hello. I’m Stella, Eva’s childhood friend. Come to think of it, we haven’t introduced each other yet.”

Stella bowed her head with a smirk.

“I’ve heard a lot from Iva. You’re Innis-san, right?”

“When did I tell you about Innis…”

“Hmm… Through Lilia last night?”

“I didn’t do it.”

The two continued their conversation while bickering. It was a small prank, but it was no different from a big display of friendship. For a moment, a strange feeling arose inside Innis.

Iba’s first friend, and I thought I was her best friend. That position had been taken over by a celebrity he had never seen before, not even Lilia. I was honestly upset. She wished that the person she was fooling around with now was herself, not her.

But at the same time, she felt fortunate to have someone who remembered her when he was human. During the time that formed him, he was glad that there was someone who could prove that he had a past.

Such a sad feeling arose in my heart.

“Anyway, by the way. You know that expression wasn’t a joke earlier?”

Stella teased Eva by poking her cheek with her finger.

“You were so worried about me? Huh? I was hurt a little, so the fever reached the end, huh?”

Eva replied by flicking her finger nervously.

“I get angry when you get hurt. I get worried. Haven’t you shown it before? I thought you paid a lot…”

As he seriously retorted, Stella shyly bent his fingers as they jabbed his cheek.

“Ah… Well, of course I knew.”

“Then I’m glad.”

I can’t believe he meekly affirmed and even counterattacked. Stella was embarrassed. The heat rose to his face, and he patted his arm. Eva was annoyed and brushed off the grumbling.

Innis stared at the conversation between the two of them and then asked one more question.

“You two… Are friends, right?”

“Sure, my friend.”

“Then what does it look like?”

Eva gave an affirmation with a tired nod, and Stella returned to her smirk and asked the question in reverse. Eva, who heard Stella’s question, also looked at Innis with a mischievous smile.

A strange feeling arose inside Inis again at the sight of that unified figure.

“Hmm…”

At that moment, Wiz, who was sleeping on Stella’s lap, turned over her body. She had already fallen asleep by the time Iba came. She thought it was odd for a wounded man to sleep on her lap, but she ignored it, wanting it to be her own expression of affection.

But when she thought about it again, she was strange.

“…That friend has been gone for a while and is already sleeping.”

“It’s a reserve of stamina… So that you can protect me right away when I move again.”

Stella smiled and stroked her Wiz’s head. She had benevolent eyes.

“I’m the only person important to this child… That’s why I’m anxious. I’m afraid I’ll go somewhere. So sleeping like this right now means he’s doing this to protect me in his own way.”

Hearing those words, Iba felt a sense of déjà vu. She is who she used to be. When others saw her, did she feel that way herself? Come to think of it, she was a little groggy.

The reason she gave him the nickname Her Gardener wasn’t simply because of her rose spearmanship and swordsmanship.

Spica’s nickname, the thorn of a rose, was a nickname given to him as a caretaker who protects it, possibly a mockery.

But Eva didn’t care about him at all and proudly put ‘gardener’ in front of his name and solved many problems.

As its name suggests, it served as a barrier to men approaching Spica with dark feelings. He did it because he was aware of her Spica tendencies. That’s why this suho was also a consideration for the men who would be pricked by thorns anyway.

Remembering those days, Eva put a smile on her lips. Because he was so immature. He should have left it to his own choice, but he did so because he was blinded by his wicked monopoly power.

“What do you think makes you smile like that?”

“Think of you.”

Stella also laughed in unison.

“Then you should keep thinking of me from now on. It’s good to keep smiling.”

Eva nodded her head. Whenever Innis heard the conversation between the two of them, his mind wandered and he turned his attention to work.

As she approached the worshiper, Innis regained her sharp, cold gaze.

“Interrogation right now, Innis?”

“Yes.”

Eva held up her hand and beckoned her to come.

“?”

Innis, knowing that the gesture was of course asking him to come, hurriedly approached. Soon, a butterfly fluttered behind her. It was the bloody butterfly he had brought out before.

“Okay. I’m hypnotized. You’re still mentally weak, so be careful… What’s wrong, Innis?”

“Oh no nothing!”

Realizing that she was mistaken, Innis dyed her cheek and walked back toward the worshiper. With her cane, she drew her circles and triangles in succession over and over again, launching complex gins.

I thought she opened her mouth, but it’s magic. Eva asked curiously.

“Innis, what are you going to do?”

“Huh? Ahh… I’m trying to get her to confess by interfering with her mind for a moment.”

“Did you know you could do magic like that…?”

Innis answered with a bashful laugh.

“Have you ever failed to interrogate a necromancer before? So I learned.”

Is it Whirtrum? Eva smiled dejectedly. She still hasn’t had much time since she was at that time. That difficult mental interference magic? Is that a genius? Along with her admiration, I felt envy.

Like Innis before, her complex and subtle emotions swirled within her.

“Haam……”

He let out a long yawn. Jealousy or something, I was sleepy at first. Looking to her side, Stella was still stroking her Wiz with a benevolent face.

The only thing she had for her was her appreciation for her friend who stood by her side. It was the same for Wiz, and it was the same for Iba. She was grateful that she had so many good people by her side.

Even in the situation where Wiz was soundly asleep on her lap, she only looked cute because she knew the inside story.

In fact, the number of times Wiz protected Stella was overwhelmingly greater than the number of times Stella protected Wiz during the battle of demons earlier. The line between her dream and reality was blurred, and even when she was in a daze, she put Stella before herself.

However, when she ran out of magic from her wizz, her demon attacked her. It was inevitable that Stella, who still had a little bit of her magic power, would blow her body away.

Being next to her own, Ibara would of course do the same.

She inadvertently looked away to find Eva staring at her.

“Why?”

“No, it’s nothing…”

His eyes twinkled as if he had remembered something. A light shone in the dark gray eyes.

“Would you like to go somewhere else for a while with me?”

“Suddenly?”

Stella asked with a blank laugh. What do you mean all of a sudden? But Iva was used to saying nonsense sometimes, so she was patient and she waited for his mouth to open.

Eva hesitated a little, then parted her lips as if she had made up her mind. The location was right next to Stella’s ear.

“That’s… I’m sleepy…”

“Ah… Huh? Really? Now?”

Stella, who was about to nod her head for the moment, blushed. The meaning contained in it was all too obvious.

Did she learn s*xual harassment, which she wouldn’t normally do, because she hangs out with that lewd witch?

She covered her ears with her hands, receiving her sweet whispers (which were normal but felt so).

“What are you talking about… It’s outside here. If someone else finds out…”

“What do you do with a kiss? That’s common sense between friends.”

There is no such thing as common sense.

What I was worried about was revealed in reality. Her own innocence, the absolute god-like value she had cherished, was stained with mud.

Using the fact that Iva’s common sense is as vague as gray, the lascivious witch has been dyed a strange color.

Stella felt a strange sense of immorality at the same time as her anger. The beauty of chaos felt while looking at the messy flower garden.

“Ah, no matter how…”

Stella looked at Wiz, who lay beneath her. She was holding on tight to Stella’s hem and wouldn’t let go. How much does she care about herself? Even while she was asleep, she coveted Stella’s warmth and at the same time was protecting her. It reminded me of a cat trying to protect her owner.

She has only herself. But how heartbroken and shocked Stella must have been when she was just trying to protect her Wiz. Stella stroked her hair and shook her head.

No. I have a child who wants me like this, but I can’t just throw her away. How disappointed she would be if she wasn’t confident when she woke up.

“No, not right now. Later inside…”

“Really not?”

Eva subtly placed her hand on Stella’s thigh and buried her head in her shoulder. Innis was obstructed from looking in that direction, interfering with the mind of the worshiper.

Her hand, like a serpent tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden, gently tickled and teased her healthy thighs. A shadow slowly crept over her bouncy thighs.

“This is a request from me and no one else?”

The wind blowing in her ears and her touch on her thighs, Stella managed to keep her mouth shut, suppressing her moaning at her tickling.

“Ah… It’s no good… Still hurt…”

“Wounded?”

Eva laughed at Stella’s excuse and removed her hand from her thigh. Then, she touched her stomach.

“Sobbing…!”

The ship had neat curves. There was no part that stuck. There were no holes. It was a good body that would not be pushed back compared to the previous life, closer to solid than hard. There was no flab in the belly that was built through daily training.

The first aid treatment of the model demon scene was clean and unmatched.

“Innis is really good at healing magic… Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any problem with the internal organs. And it’s okay. It’s not like the two of us are going to do anything like that… You don’t have to move your body too hard. The wound doesn’t open. Won’t.”

“hahahaha… Don’t touch it…”

“Aha, shouldn’t I touch this place? Sorry.”

Eva smiled mischievously and removed her hand from her stomach. She had buried enough of her own touch to the very end and disappeared.

“Ah…”

For some reason, I felt regretful. The part of his hand that was slightly cold was hot. It was contradictory.

Stella managed to squeeze out one more excuse.

“That, and magic…”

“I have an idea.”

Eva lifted her finger, aligning it with her own lips and touching hers.

“I’m passing my mana to you. Then you absorb that mana and pass it back to me. In this way, I can circulate the mana within my body, right?”

And while he grinned, Stella hardly looked like the friend he knew before.

Isn’t it that he really became a devil after gaining the devil’s power? It was so immoral and decadent. He was in the body of a boy, and his words and actions gave off a deep color. The smell of perfume or blood on his body further increased that atmosphere.

“It wasn’t the Devil of the Reverse Heaven, it was the Inma…?”

“What are you talking about?”

But the expression on his face telling him not to talk bullsh*t was just like the one he knew.

It was lamentable. That innocence from their first meeting had already been irretrievably tainted. That promiscuous witch must have made him this way. In his previous life he was just like he was.

But for some reason, I didn’t hate him.

It was quite contradictory.

Eva went back and whispered in Stella’s ear. She did not want to disturb Innis in her work, but to Stella, she was the devil’s sweet temptation.

“So, how about it? Can I put you to bed for a minute? Twenty minutes is enough.”

Eva was in such a hurry to sleep. I was so tired. She was in a physical condition that was not unusual even when she was knocked down.

Stella lowered her head and looked at her whiz. Her whole body exhausted her for her own.

Then she turned her head to look at Eva again. Her haggard eyes and slightly dry-looking lips caught her eye.

She has to kiss her twice this time. He to himself, himself to him.

Gulp.

Stella swallowed her saliva and erased the trace.

I wondered if Wiz would break. Without any sign of her, she laid her head in Weez’s carefully folded over her own robe.

‘If it’s just a moment… If it’s just a moment, it’ll be fine…’

Eva smiled broadly and was delighted with her decision. When Stella saw that laugh, she laughed as well.

Eva also imitated Stella and got up from her seat, erasing her presence as much as possible.

Then I casually put my hand on her waist and entered the dark forest.
