171 – Litigation (6)

When can I feel the positivity of life?

When does he know that he knows that the path he has walked is not wrong?

Yum yum yum.

I thought as I watched Rumia chewing on the sandwich deliciously.

“…Oh, why are you looking at it? No way… Was it rude to eat!”

“No, I still want to eat happily.”

“Ah! You thought it was rude, right? You ate too vulgarly!”

“What do you eat vulgarly…”

It was an incomprehensible emotion.

Still on the plate were sandwiches forming a three-story tower. From sausage to baked beans.

That’s the sign of eating moderately.

‘Can I eat it all…?’

I wanted to take care of it myself since I brought it myself.

Eva, who had already eaten Rumia’s sandwich with her milk a long time ago, read a novel her brother had written.

I was surprised that the style was cleaner than I thought.

She seemed to be better at choosing words than herself, who had been learning letters for quite some time.

‘Well, 10 years have passed…’

She was great though.

To think that children who were destined to stop people’s hearts become people who make people’s hearts ring.

Would the children of the orphanage we sponsored in the past be able to face such a future when they grew up?

Eva suddenly became curious.

It must have been difficult.

Even if she taught the letters, she had few means to spread the letters.

It was an era when most of the publishing world was wiped out and paper media became a luxury item for the rich.

Eva focused on her book again.

A story of a girl who loves a sick man.

It was a work that could easily infer the sad ending just by reading the first half.

“Iva-sama.”

“Huh? Have you eaten?”

“Yes!”

Rumia laughed briskly, with crumbs in her mouth. Eva took out her tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.

“It was buried.”

“Ah. Ah… Thank you.”

At first, she seemed a little surprised, but then she closed her eyes and accepted the touch. Her entire body temperature was high. Maybe that’s why, her cheeks were slightly red.

“Ehehehe.”

Even after wiping it off, Rumia leaned inside him and rubbed her cheek against her arm.

“Rumia?”

“Ah, did you feel bad… This isn’t s*xual harassment, is it?”

“If you have to ask, you’re right, but…”

“Eh.”

Rumia took her cheek in surprise.

“No, it’s okay. Just do whatever you want.”

“Yes!”

Rumia played with Eva’s arm, not holding back her words at all. She rubbed her cheeks and she sometimes tickled her with her lips or ears. It was a sincere attitude, as if remembering someone you hadn’t seen for a long time with your own body.

Worship rather than harassment.

It felt like that.

Ignoring that, Eva continued reading.

“It’s nice to see Eva’s young body after a long time~”

“A young body?”

“Ah!”

Then I heard words that I could not easily shed. Eva’s bored eyes sharpened in an instant. The traces of her tears on her face stood out, making her even more impressive.

“Did I change my body? Am I not in this body now?”

There is no growth in this constantly regenerating body. This is because even aging is treated as damage.

That’s why there is no growth either.

I thought I would live my whole life as a boy in my mid-teens, but all of a sudden, what is this?

It was both good news and disturbing news.

Is it proof that the sage corrected it correctly, or is it something more twisted than this?

“That, that’s… As I explained before…”

“Yes damn. I bet. Okay. I won’t ask much.”

I didn’t need much. One word was enough to confirm Eva’s prediction now.

“The eyes.”

“Yes?”

“My eyes, just explain that.”

Rumia turned her head around, hesitating her answer, then closed her eyes tightly and muttered, clenching her fists.

“Black…”

“Black?”

“Ferocious and vicious like a black panther… Those eyes…”

As expected.

Eva nodded her head.

That’s Eva’s old body.

This is the appearance of the previous life.

This body grows with the body of the previous life? In what way?

The lucky thing for her is that she herself is alive and well in the future, and even her body is better than this child’s.

So, does the lower body get stronger too?

Eva smiled at the thought of such a vulgar joke.

Deng-Deng-

At that moment, the grandfather clock rang coolly for her. It meant gathering to the place we saw yesterday.

Iva ended up closing her book without confirming the ending of her story.

“Rumia, can I continue reading this?”

“Yes, yes! Watch as much as you like…”

It was a passive attitude, perhaps because he was still bothered by his slip of the tongue.

“Let’s get ready to move.”

The Prophet said so to those in the audience. Behind her were two objects wrapped in cloth, and the Prophet sitting with them on his back gave a strange sense of dignity.

Lilia responded to those words.

“So, can we go back to the original time now?”

It was a voice that seemed to convey both the expectation of being able to return to a comfortable place after this hardship and the regret of not being able to obtain the magic of the future.

“No. I can’t go today.”

“Why?”

“Because time travel requires a lot of procedures. After all, it’s great magic. Even though I use prophecy magic and have a genius sense in that field, I can’t simplify the procedure.”

Her strangely self-proud tone made Lilia cry and fight back.

“Really? Then give me the formula. I’ll simplify it right away.”

“No. How much knowledge do you think you have in your time zone that shouldn’t be known in advance?”

“No, I don’t want to cooperate.”

“Besides, even you in this side of the world couldn’t simplify it properly. You can’t be a little Lilia-san.”

There is no malice, but the word choice is really good at scratching people’s stomach. Lillia’s face turned bright red.

Silence heightened as Stella watched her anger with interest, Wiz, who was not interested, and Innis, who were restless.

“Okay, let’s start the first procedure.”

The Prophet rolled up the cloth.

Two people showed interest in the items inside.

The hero candidates were Stella and Wiz.

“Sacred spear!”

“The holy sword…?”

As they said, it was a rusty holy spear and holy sword.

“You got it right. This is…”

“Why do you have it! No, why is it in this villa!”

“No way… Loot…?”

Wiz looked at Lilia with her eyes at the bottom of the water.

“Wait! What’s wrong with me? It’s not me!”

Lilia expressed her regret.

“That’s right. This isn’t the Flower Witch’s fault. It’s only Iba’s fault.”

“Why me?”

“The person who put this here is none other than Iba-san.”

Eva sighed in a bewildered way. After all, people are people, so Stella and Wiz had no choice but to remain silent.

“Anyway, what I’m trying to do with this is simple.”

The Prophet stood up proudly, grabbing the two cold weapons.

“Everyone, please stab me with this.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

From noble mtl dot com

There was still a habit of speaking deeply misunderstood. Lillia asked, half-opening her eyes, pathetically.

“No.”

“Hey. Explain it properly.”

“Yes.”

The Prophet nodded her head.

“Those who are stung by this are defined as demons. It’s more like a ritual.”

The Prophet wielding the Holy Spear and Holy Sword over her body was quite plausible, probably because she had practiced a lot. If only she hadn’t brushed the tip of Iva’s nose in the process.

“Hey.”

“Ah, my mistake… I’m really sorry. Now, Iba-san, you don’t have to be stabbed again. Anyway, you who have created such a symbol of demons have the right to be banished from this world. Originally, it is connected to the time zone of the world… Well, it’s complicated, so I’ll skip it now.”

“What are you trying to do?”

Iva asked as she wiped the blood from the back of her nose.

“Do you ignore me? I’m a prophet even though I’ve given up now! I’ve learned to remember so many magical procedures and follow them with even the tiniest clues. What I can’t say just doesn’t affect you. It’s not to…”

“Okay. Okay.”

“You don’t know!”

“I really got it! Anyway, it’s okay to be stabbed.”

Eva, taken aback by the sudden acceleration, finally cut off the Prophet’s words and came to a conclusion.

“…Yes. Except Mr. Iba because he was stabbed.”

The Prophet replied weakly in a strangely sullen voice.

“This is the end of today’s procedure. We will continue tomorrow at this time.”

“Yes, I know…”

The procedure ended with the blade of either the Holy Sword or the Holy Lance making a small wound that bleeds.

I thought I could go back.

It was an empty day.

**

However, Innis’ day did not end there.

Of course, it wasn’t the end for the other people either, but for Ennis, it was just the beginning.

‘You’re stealing Eva’s heart!’

A time of rest obtained in the middle of a hectic time.

I couldn’t waste a single grain.

Of course, I wasted my day worrying too much, but I decided to treat it as consumption for a brighter tomorrow.

However, because of the time last night, Innis couldn’t really think of a way to do that.

I gave up on the femme fatale, the demon of distance control that I thought before. To act like that, Innis had little human experience.

Stealing Iva’s heart.

It was too complicated a problem for her to conclude on her own.

‘Lilia knows Eva well, right?’

That’s why Innis wanted to find his teacher. A teacher who will conclude this answer, a teacher who will give some good clues.

The target was Lilia. Of all the people she knew now, she was the one who could know Eva the best.

After all, it’s because he’s the owner of Eva, who is taking him around.

She must have been well aware as she had spent a lot of time.

Of course, there was a reason I chose her because she was the only person I could rely on.

She knew Eva well even though her childhood friend, Stella, was still awkward and couldn’t talk to her ….

Above all, a little competitive spirit arose.

But it’s okay if it’s Lilia. Aren’t they best friends!

“Lilia I’ll tell you…”

Knocked up.

Innis, who was so deep in thought that he forgot to be considerate, forgot to knock and opened the door to Lilia.

“Huh?”

It wasn’t Lillia who first met her eyes.

She was Eva sitting on Lilia’s bed.

Why is he here?

I had to figure it out slowly from now on.
