I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

131 – Immortality (12)

“Yes, yes…! Hello! Really… Long time no see…”

Upon hearing my greeting, Lupika bowed her body at a right angle and gave an angled bow. Anyone who sees it will know that I caught a child.

“Hey, don’t do that. Raise your head. I didn’t even ask you to do that, so why are you… What are you crying about?”

Tear marks were clearly visible beneath the ground where the head was bowed. The dripping tears soaked the ground like rain. Seeing the snow melting scene, the trauma resurfaced, but was suppressed.

Before irritating memories came up, I first set up Lupika. As I wiped her tears away with her handkerchief, the gibberish words struck me.

“We… Promised… Come back… But why didn’t you come… How long have I been waiting… hehehe! Do you know… Do you know… Do you?”

Did you promise that?

Ah, are you referring to what happened while escaping the castle? You said you would come back alive. I had forgotten about it because many things were complicated.

“Okay… I’m sorry I did everything wrong. Why are you crying. Don’t cry. Huh?”

“Sweep!”

Damn it, I don’t have much time. How do i fix this It’s clearly my fault. I should have at least contacted him, but I haven’t been able to pay attention because I’ve been hit and run over various things.

Is it enough to just save lives? I definitely should have taken responsibility.

What is this? Well, anything is fine, so let’s open our mouths for now.

“Lupika… I think you misunderstood a bit…”

“…Are you wrong?”

“Yes, I said I would come back, but I didn’t specify exactly when I would come back, did I?”

“…?”

She sniffed her nose and started paying attention to my words.

“When I said I was going back, I meant I was going to finish everything that was bothering you and come back. But that f*cking necromancer… No, it took me a little too long to defeat him. I’m sorry.”

“…!”

Has it been eaten? No way. With these words, I will forgive the pup I have saved and neglected.

“That’s right… I didn’t get the meaning. I’m sorry.”

It was eaten.

That wasn’t enough, so he apologized to me. Guilt came up again. Why do you believe this? Many questions came to my mind, but there is no need to shock me with the facts again.

“Uh, uh… That’s it. So don’t be too shocked. You weren’t abandoned. No, you should have used that as an opportunity to forget me. You’ve suffered a lot, but now you have to live your life.”

I took a few steps back and tried to leave.

“Then later…”

“No!”

As I tried to say a quick goodbye, promising later, Lupika grabbed my arm. She deserved it. It’s a benefactor I’ve met at most, but I’d like to share more stories with you.

But I don’t have time. It’s really urgent. Really……

‘No.’

Is there really no time? It’s still not past noon, and there’s quite a bit of time until the demon worshipers die from their own curse.

It’s not that we’re going back to the cafe and we’re not going to have a good time, but that a kid who met his benefactor after a long time throws away what he’s trying to say? Is the time that tight?

‘No.’

I just want to avoid meeting people. I just don’t want to burden myself with this. Because I don’t want to influence this world anymore, because I don’t want to be influenced through this world.

Escape. I, who just laughed at Wiz of Dawn, is making the same choice.

I laughed out loud.

I was afraid. What else would I do to harm the people of this place? I am afraid that others will go through life changes that I cannot handle.

Sure, I’m terrified right now. I was in no position to say anything to Wiz. I was too small to bear the lives of so many people.

One of my actions became a wind that did not blow in the original work, and created a typhoon called the demon of death. Thinking about that actually made me feel a little disgusted. Of course, it’s a feeling that will disappear after a few nights of sleep. But it was enough to bother me right now.

“Well, I have something to tell you now!”

“You know, Lupika, I’m serious. I’m your benefactor, but I just did what everyone should have done. So I…”

“Listen!”

Her voice rose. Pedestrians stared at this place. It would be like I made a child cry. You may look suspicious. Contrary to the first meeting with this girl. That’s when I drove her to be her suspicious person.

Wack.

My eyes, which had been looking around, focused on one spot. She grabbed my cheek and pinned it to herself.

“Listen carefully!”

I nodded slightly with my face still.

“My name is Rumia, not Lupica! Lupika is the name used by assassins! It’s not my real name!”

I see. For a moment, even when I was surprised to find out for the first time, she drove me nonstop.

“Thanks to you, I got my name back! Thanks to Eva, I can now wear a name for myself!”

“…”

“Look at this outfit right now! My body! Is it properly curved? It was that woman. I was afraid that I would get hurt, so I was able to reveal my body that I had been hiding…”

I already knew that. Even though I tried to hide it, I couldn’t hide it properly.

“…It’s all thanks to Iva-sama.”

“That’s because of me. It’s all because you chose well.”

“No. Taking me out like that doesn’t change the fact that you saved me.”

Rumia laughed. She’s so bright I’ve never seen her before.

“You have changed my life. You have changed it from a life of blood and filth to one where I can smile in the sunlight.”

“…!”

It was a smile that I could never have imagined from the image of her in the original work. If it was that perverted psycho, she’d never talk nice or laugh like that. She was not the original person.

“Really… Thank you…! I really wanted to say this…”

She was Rumia. She’s not Lupika. It was the name I changed through my actions.

“…Yes, that’s good for you.”

I affirmed without subtracting. The hand that was holding my cheek was released and went down.

“Yes, thank you for living like that. It gives me strength to think that someone is living well thanks to me.”

It really was. She was her perfect counterexample to my troubles.

I broke into the world of this novel and did many terrible things.

The greatest of these sins is stopping the lily couple, and the next one is almost letting the demon of death descend on this city. It was a sin that was difficult to take responsibility for.

However, because of me, a person’s life could be completely changed. On the good side too.

The butterfly effect of the country did not always bring only bad results. That fact alone was able to volatilize the fear that had been there until now.

“Oh, and, over there!”

She grabbed her arm again.

“I have become a paladin!”

“…Uh, yeah, congratulations?”

“…”

“What is it?”

Do you mean congratulations on becoming a paladin in this short period of time? Having the skills of an assassin, but boasting that you only managed to break through the threshold of one knight corps… Wouldn’t it be just deception? I closed my mouth as I felt a little cold.

“Isn’t Eva the… Devil?”

“Right.”

He whispered very quietly near the devil. Let no one hear

“That’s why I’m in the Holy Knights!”

“What are you talking about?”

I don’t understand.

“The Holy Knights are where demons are chased. What does it mean that I’m in there? There’s only one answer.”

“I don’t know.”

“It’s none other than me, I’m going to be a spy for Lady Eva! I’m creating confusion inside so that I can never catch Lady Eva!”

Ahem, groaning Rumia struck her own necklace.

There was no Ultang.

“I saved you to live your life. Do you think I saved you to take care of me? I don’t need slaves. My debt of grace is repaid by you living well. Just live on your own.”

“That, that’s not it! It’s not because of grace.”

“So what?”

Rumia cleared her throat once and answered.

“Kuhmm! That… It’s a bit hard to say it’s not entirely because of grace… But this is what I did with enough determination. I want to help Eva-sama with my own will! With my own choice, with my own free will.” I want that!”

“…I see.”

The momentum was so great that I inadvertently nodded her head. Besides, thinking about it again, there was nothing strange about it. I had no reason to stop her from spying on her own volition, not someone else’s opinion or feeling of debt.

“That’s why, from now on, please give me orders with something like a glass bird! I want to give my all to support Eva-sama…”

Around the end, he blurted out his words, perhaps because he was too shy to speak. If those ears were human ears, they would have definitely turned red at the tips.

“I see… So, how are your younger siblings?”

“Yes? Yes! Right now my next child is working in the newspaper and making money! The other kids are also going to school… Wearing school uniforms. This is all thanks to Iva. Really… Thank you. Do!”

She bowed her body at a right angle again. With that burdened, I returned her to her original position.

By the way, I was proud that the children were living happily as a result of my efforts. Even though they are not blood related, it must be a dream come true that her younger siblings earn money in a sound and legal way and go to school. I know how you feel. I also sponsored an orphanage once.

By the way.

“…A newspaper?”

When I asked, Rumia answered lively.

“Yes! Brisa is a child…”

“Lupika. No, Rumia. As my spy, I will issue the first order.”

I can eat this. Laughter leaked out.

“…Yes?”

Obviously, I’ve been holding on to the guilt of what happened because of my intervention.

However, being free from guilt and taking responsibility for this situation are two different things.

I have a responsibility not to scatter death in this world no matter what. It’s what I did, so I have to come to an end.

I will use everything I can for this and increase my chances of success. Not just 30%, but 90% as much as possible.

I quietly gave her command into Rumia’s ear. During that time, I buried my face in my shirt and breathed in and out without noticing…

“Are you here?”

“Yes…”

I was greeted by Wiz, who clearly looked exhausted.

In the middle of the road, in the woods where the devil worshipers are.

“How is Stella…?”

“Still sleeping.”

“I see…”

I went back to the dorm for a while and found Lilia and Stella sleeping peacefully. It seems that she was sleepy and couldn’t figure out her own room.

“Strange…? It shouldn’t have been such a strong sleep spell…”

“So you hit the back of the head so hard that you fainted for a long time?”

“I guess so…”

Wiz nodded as if she understood.

“Something… I’m sorry… But I’m glad…”

“What?”

“Stella… Didn’t get involved in anything dangerous…”

“That’s right.”

What you’re planning from now on is dangerous enough to risk your life. Even if it was me who had her regeneration, it would be a considerable burden for her.

“You can run away if you’re scared.”

“Bitter… Don’t…”

Wiz muttered in a determined voice.

“…The two of us can finish it all…”

“You’re arrogant.”

“No… There’s a good chance…”

It gives me strength to say that. In the meantime, it was confirmed that it was possible by the candidate for the hero who must have gone through this crap many times.

Her strange smile bloomed on the corners of both her and me’s lips.

After our eyes met for a moment, Wiz saw me and waved her hand as if she were bowing down.

“So… I have to be prepared…”

As soon as I lowered her body to the extent that her eyes met hers, Wiz grabbed her by the collar and pulled me straight.
