I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

136 – Soldier (2)

“But I didn’t bother to tell you that I would come back alive…”

“…?”

He frowned as if he didn’t understand.

“I could have died just like that?”

“Yes?”

“The body parts that fell off my body started to evaporate after 3 hours. If my subjugation had been a little bit later, I would have melted to death?”

“…No what.”

The handkerchief he gave me. I was aware of the plan to resurrect with the blood buried there, but it didn’t seem to guarantee complete safety.

If the subjugation had been delayed a bit, the blood on the handkerchief would have evaporated and died.

“Didn’t you tell me something? That’s why I made the handkerchief the last time, on the spot, and handed it to you?”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of it…!”

The madman is clear. To carry out a plan that could have been fatal without hesitation.

Before we could destroy his consciousness in earnest, he and I met again to work out the details of the plan. At that time, you didn’t even assume that it would fail…!

“Wait a minute. If I had died like that, wouldn’t I have been unable to keep my promise?”

The demon king candidate did not refute, but only grinned.

This crazy person. He did something that could really kill him. He trembled at the thought that he could have left without paying a reward, even though he had risen up the ranks in slave contracts at best.

“…Don’t live like that.”

“I’ll try.”

“I shouldn’t have just died like that.”

“What dude?”

He smiled softly and continued walking through the woods.

In the great grove of elves, a forest where countless trees have sprung up.

**

It wasn’t until a few minutes after the commotion started that Innis rushed to the scene.

He didn’t stay at home and rest, but kept looking for someone on the street, so he flew away as soon as he heard the news. The family, now back home, understood that they had friends who might have been hurt in the chaos.

‘Did you have friends?!’ The reaction that gave the same feeling was a bit hurtful… But thanks to that, I was able to fly in the sky and look for Iba without paying attention to the people waiting.

I was also left out of the post-processing of the demon king candidate. He lied openly saying that he was a little tired due to lack of magic power, but it was said by the ‘hero’ who killed the demon king candidate. Innis ignored his family and professional obligations and sought only one person.

Every time the citizens looked at her and praised her, I felt like shouting at her to shut up.

Inis was startled at herself thinking that way. He was just taking out his anger on someone who hadn’t done anything wrong. It was something that did not suit her temper. It was an idea she shouldn’t have in her work ethic.

It was inevitable. Her impatience after parting with her loved one had a demonic nature that made her return to being a human even if not a hero.

Innis was disgusted with herself about taking out her anger on the people she protected so much, but she couldn’t stop thinking about it.

It’s okay though. She only needs to find Iba and everything will be resolved. This impure mind and anxiety can all be resolved. Nervousness was created in an empty seat. Anxiety that had no place to go gathered in that empty seat and overflowed. So, it was clear to her that if she could fill the void, everything would be resolved.

It’s clear. He is still alive and he has not committed any sin. Soon I will be able to meet him, return to a happy family, and spend a happy time together…

In the end, he couldn’t even find it, he just met an unexpected person.

“…Lilia?”

Through the embers that fluttered like snowflakes, her sparkling eyes stabbed her. Her eyes were gorgeous and bleak, like a butterfly full of venom.

Those eyes met the unreal flames around her and showed off an indescribable alluring charm, but now was not the time to admire her appearance.

“…”

When her eyes met, Lilia raised her bangs and frowned at her. Innis had never seen her in her life.

Thump, a huge wave spread through my heart. He was heavy as a chain and his heart beat as fast as a whip. Everything about her entangled and persecuted her.

Innis could only guess one reason why Lilia, who had not been seen with Eva, suddenly appeared and caused a commotion, but she ignored it as much as possible. It won’t be. It should be no. Innis looked away. She had to ignore it for the sake of composure….

“Lee, Lilia! What are you doing!”

Innis hurriedly took Lillia’s hand and dragged her. Her grip on her wand was so tight that her hand, dripping with blood, caught her eye. Lillia’s gaze turned to Innis.

It was dry. But for some reason, Innis felt as if her bloody tears were flowing there. More rage flowed in him than blood flowed from that hand.

“…I see, what is this doing?”

Lilia smiled and brushed her hair once more. It was an insignificant act, but her futility and joy were buried in each and every action.

“Hey, Innis. You’re a devil, aren’t you?”

The process of subjugating the demon lord that I heard from a passer-by earlier. To Lilia, everyone here was the culprit, but she did have a culprit who directly harmed her. The candidate for the hero, the leader of the Holy Knights, and.

Magic. An abbreviation for the Tsushima Special Police, a sword of the people that is different from the Holy Knight who handles all magical matters. According to passers-by, the person with the job delivered the final blow to Iba.

“That great hero… Who is it?”

Lilia needed someone to blame. If Iba were alive, she would have resented him, but he is gone.

You can’t see it, you can’t touch it. When I wake up, I don’t brush my bangs with a smile, and I can’t even hear the sound of a book sometimes read by my bedside. You can’t receive a dinner that actively stops your drinking and buy you dessert instead, or a gift that you promised to give someday, saying that you will earn money.

I shouldn’t have sent it back then. Why? At that time, I made them read the monster subjugation recruitment, and this is the result I sent without thinking. To spend a little more time together make more memories Even if you regret it, it won’t come back.

Someone made it that way. As a candidate for the Demon King, he died miserably, so he couldn’t even hold a funeral.

So he should be resentful. I had to pour out this resentment that had nowhere to go.

“Who are you!”

Of course nothing will change. There will be no meaning. This current riot, the resentment that will pour out in all directions, will not leave a single ash and will be pushed away like the ebb tide, revealing the bottom of nothingness.

As a result, she could be stripped of her title as a witch, and it was clear that she would hurt her mother or her president who believed in her. She might do a great disgrace to her master who loved her until the end of the day.

Lilia didn’t care. Her best luck with her position as a witch has disappeared, and the person with whom she has given and trusted more than any other person she has ever met has disappeared. A teacher is someone who made her feel her heart. He was the one who taught me that being with someone is more rewarding than anything else.

So, this was just a courtesy to give back all that was given to him. It doesn’t mean anything now, so I have to put it down.

“Tell me quickly Innis! Who is it! Who killed the demon lord candidate!”

Lilia screamed, shaking off Innis’ hand. The emotional drain on her stamina, which had already fallen out after her bout of riots, was extreme, so the shaking motion was great, but she couldn’t exert much strength. Looking at her screaming Lilia, Innis could tell.

“Who is it! Who is it!! Who is it!!! Who is it, who is it, who is it…”

Lilia has lost someone, and she has another name for the lost one.

That her own insecurities were true. That what she assumed the worst was the truth.

Reality always overwhelms imagination. It was like that this time too. He casually gave Innis the worst that could happen to him.

Lilia couldn’t even stand up anymore. She collapsed as if leaning on Inis, not breathing properly, and vomited out her tears instead of her sighs.

“Please… Tell me… Innis… Huh? Who is it? Please… I beg you…”

Innis and Lilia knew the identity of that person. But both wanted to deny it. It’s the same denial, but the direction is a little different.

Lillia hoped that the identity of her Demon Lord would not be her, and Innis wished that the identity of her demon king candidate whom she burned and killed was not the person she loved.

But both knew. No matter how hard I prayed, reality told me the truth mercilessly. Since both of them had enough intelligence to read the context, their brains inferred the answer at will. That was probably the answer.

“…I don’t know.”

Innis spat dryly. It was a low voice. However, her voice was far from her usual sonorous voice, and she clearly showed that her condition was not normal.

I didn’t know. Should not know Now Innis wanted to be ignorant. She just wanted to be stupid. She didn’t want to know anything. She didn’t have the confidence to meet Lilia’s eyes.

As she lowered her head, the staff flashed in the corner of her field of vision, and Inis let go of her hand in shock. Like throwing something dirty.

“Hey!”

I was scared. It looked terrifying again. No, it even looked disgusting now. It felt like a clump of maggots spilling from her body. A wand that was like a symbol of magic, Innis couldn’t face it.

“No, I don’t know… I didn’t know anything… Really… I…”

The more you deny it, the firmer the reality becomes. As if plaster had been poured into the empty space to harden it, a large, cool stone was embedded in the empty space he had left. It choked me and made me speechless. The pain was certain and gradually made me realize the reality.

“I didn’t know… I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Innis looked away and spat out an apology that he didn’t know he was addressing. His heart beat faster than his quivering eyes. Like an earthquake. I sent her a strong shake, rendering her unable to stand.

With a thud, his knees gave way and Innis fell. His knees were cracked and his stockings ripped open, and his blood flowed through them. He melted himself into blood that no one would have spilled. He didn’t feel it. It took a little more time to properly feel and savor the pain and facts. It made my heart beat even louder. The more I look away, the cold blood hits my head.

The gaze was directed downward. His gaze, which had been anxiously scanning the street, obsessively averted his eyes whenever he saw ashes and embers. I grabbed his arms and tried to stop his trembling body, but I couldn’t. Reason evaporated and scattered through the streets like embers.

“I’m not… I’m not… I didn’t do anything…”

I picked up what I wanted to be true and spit it out. Each time, she got a better idea of what she was doing. The lie was not covered, but rather exposed.

“It’s not me… No… I don’t know… Nothing…”

The heartbeat gradually increased. It seemed to jump out of her mouth.

I would rather have. If only I could spit out my heart like this and die.

Innis got the feeling that worms were crawling inside her. She wanted to vomit the discomfort right away. Everything like this, even the heart, all of these internal organs that make up oneself.

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh…”

But all she could spit out was saliva. It was once exchanged with someone and was ecstatic. Now, everything he walks along the roadside has turned into a street to remember him. Her memory became the thunderbolt that judged her. Every time I thought about it, it felt like my whole body was burning.

“Ugh… No… No…”

He couldn’t spit out his heart.

I couldn’t escape from all this.

“…I didn’t kill Eva… It wasn’t me… It shouldn’t be… I don’t know anything… I should… I should…”

I still needed more time before the day was over.

It was a time full of time to reflect on what she had done today.

She still has time to return to her family.

That fact drove Innis crazy.

**

“Hmm…”

“Wizz!”

Wiz, who had collapsed due to the shock wave from 【Sunrise】, depleted mana, and exhausted stamina, opened her eyes. In one corner of her still blurry vision, Stella was showing a worried look. There was a slight redness around her eyes.

He must have shed tears.

“…Is this place?”

“In the church common room. Wiz, do you know how surprised I am?”

Stella laughed at her fuss. It was a forced, twisted smile.

“hahahaha Wiz… What did you dream about today? Huh? What were you planning with Iba? Oops… Oooh, such a horrible prank… What on earth did you have to stop… “

She is one of the few people who knows of Wiz’s return.

“Muh, I had to stop something, so I had to make the fact that Iba was dead… That kind of lie, that, is a lie, right? That’s right. Wiz, I won’t tell anyone. Where is Iba now? Where is he? Are you hiding…?”

Wiz noticed right away. She is in denial She thinks that Iba was subdued while she was fainting, and that she was only known externally as such.

His death was consensual, and he wasn’t actually dead.

She says she’s hiding somewhere right now waiting for things to be sorted out. Stella believed so firmly. She concluded that what she saw and heard was not true, and she clung to the person closest to the truth and prayed.

“Huh? Uh, where are you…? Wiz… Why didn’t you say anything? You cut off his wings. You did it because you knew something. That’s right…”

Wiz let out her breath. Stella, unable to wait for her slow attitude, grabbed her shoulders tightly.

“Answer me quickly!!!”

The golden eyes were cloudy. Stella’s reflection in her eyes was similar to Wiz’s. She was in a similar position.

“…Ah, mi, sorry. I just woke up and haven’t understood the situation yet…”

Wiz looked around her without saying anything. Her own blue holy sword was visible near her bed.

Being with Eva, she knew. He cared for Stella as much as Stella cared for him. Didn’t that Eva appear to Stella?

The answer was obvious.

Wiz grabbed the blade of the holy sword and placed it around her neck,

I drew it.

It was a miracle that the dream came true. It was a miracle not to be dreamed of. Now the miracle had to be abandoned.

The greatest fortune in his life was meeting an understanding person, and the worst misfortune was that he understood himself too much.

You don’t need the greatest luck or the greatest misfortune. It’s just normal enough. I’ll throw it all away, please.

I hope we can meet him again.

Wishing so, Wiz warmly wrapped his blood around his neck.
