176 – Litigation (11)

From noble mtl dot com

Lyla clutched her head on the desk. Her eyes were pale, but her beauty was still there because of the eternal youth unique to witches. But it was true that she was in poor shape compared to usual.

Days and nights, she rummaged through the papers and tried connecting magic tricks that seemed useful, but to no avail. She even dabbled with ritual and curse materials, but she was meaningless.

It was the same even though he was the only prophet among them who could use time magic.

“Ah…”

He groaned and struggled. The time magic she learned was very special, and it was impossible to apply it universally. Should I call it a folk remedy next to general medical knowledge? It was a power that specialized only in seeing the future in fragments, and it was not helpful in general situations because it was a part where superpowers were intervened.

It was too much to move something from the future itself to reality, rather than seeing the future as it is now.

In the end, she wondered if the future selves would have figured out something. With that in mind, she decided to lean on the prophecy. I felt like I was committing something expedient, but what can I do? I can’t think of anything but this.

“I… I’m going to prophesy again…”

“Are you okay, sister? Then hurting yourself…”

“It would have been better than trailing in the world tree…”

So, she has to repay him for saving him from the World Tree.

The Prophet entered the Koopa Koopa Tent.

Layla turned her eyes back to the papers. She hadn’t slept in days, and her eyes were dim. She had done it a few times, like an all-nighter, but she did it for days and it was a burden to keep going. How the hell has Eva endured this kind of pain for so long? Suddenly, he was respected.

“Whoa…”

A way to bring the person you want from the future. It seemed impossible even with the power of the devil. Of course, this is just an exaggeration, and the plan to borrow the power of the devil was not even considered.

No matter how much it is to bring dear ones, the moment you borrow power from such a thing, you become a worshiper or a vampire.

Absolutely not. Innocent people will suffer for their own desires.

‘Of course, I’m not saying Iba-san is bad…’

Eva, he’s a demon, but he’s an exception.

Anyway, it was as Minerva warned in the beginning.

“Master… Have you found out anything…?”

“I wonder if there is no answer~”

It was dark ahead.

It is a very difficult task from interfering with time. But the work of bringing in a specific person from the future? If that was possible, I would have brought a sage.

“What can I do…”

Lila lowered his head grimly and buried his face in the pile of papers. He was tired from not sleeping properly for days. Even more so because he wasted his mana by testing various magics.

Was this my biggest? Didn’t you want to repay the honor you received from him? Was this the best? Are you already tired?

So stopping himself, Lila raised his head.

“Uhhhhh…”

I made a sound like a monster being manipulated by a demon worshiper and I fixed my eyes on the material I was reading again. Those who went to the future as a result of falling into the rift, what to do to save them.

Cracks, cracks……

“Oh.”

Layla jumped to her feet.

“Why are you like this~? Are you finally crazy~? If you want to throw up, do it in the bathroom~…..”

“It’s not like that, Master.”

Minerva, who could have forgiven one or two eccentricities in exhaustion, calmly pointed to the bathroom. But Lila didn’t care about that and raised her voice excitedly.

“Crack!”

“Yeah, cracks. That’s why… Ah.”

Minerva also raised her voice as if she realized something within seconds.

“Because it’s a rift caused by the warping of space-time… That means it can transport people in the future to the past! Oh my goodness, that’s a good approach! That approach of making the cause the solution! Very good!”

Nothing was said, but Minerva was excited that she had predicted everything she was going to say.

“But… What to do with the rift? They’re not here? The idea that we’re going directly to the future isn’t it? Then you’re talking nonsense.”

Layla shook her head.

“That’s not it, Master.”

I’m not going to the future and bring them back.

“We don’t need to open it. We just have to make them open it.”

The plan she thought of was extremely simple. At first glance, it seemed childish, so it was a plan that could not easily come out of the space where these highly educated people gathered.

“I just need to create a rift where they are in the future.”

“Yes? That’s why I’m thinking about that plan right now… Ah.”

Minerva exclaimed again. Because again she noticed what Lila was about to say. She was Laila’s teacher. For an hour she would never say was short, she watched her pupil.

So, she now knew what plan her pupil would come up with.

“Just wait.”

Your future self sacrifices for your past self.

“I can open a rift and invite them to this place after 10 years.”

Really simple, ignorant.

It was her self-destructive plan.

**

Eva opened her eyes. She was refreshing She said that sleeping for two days in a row felt so good. She was envious of the others she slept with every day. Thinking that burning jealousy even in the midst of her happiness is what she is, Iba stretched her body.

“Ugh…”

When I woke up her frowny body, her head slowly turned. Upon waking up like that, Eva was able to notice an anomaly. Her arms are strangely stretched.

“…?!”

Runaway play. Her body was stretched out at will.

Iba was frightened and turned her magical energy to the symbol of Buddha’s regeneration. Why did she trigger this. The stigma must have been activated all the time. Even when she was sleeping, she had to be controlled by someone else to help her. Eva looked around her.

“Lilia? Innis?”

Both of them were breathing pleasantly with their eyes closed. I was sleeping. Their carefree faces were cute, but now they only looked disgusting.

“…Breaking a mutual agreement.”

Of course, you may be sleepy. Isn’t that why she asked two people to help her get a good night’s sleep? If one of them gets sleepy, they can entrust the circulation of mana to the other and go to sleep. You yourself would know

No matter how sleepy the two of you are at the same time, it’s just a matter of waking yourself up and going to sleep. You don’t know what terrible results will happen if you carelessly stop the magic circulation.

I’m sorry. How dare she betray her own trust. She broke the distrust and trusted people for the first time. How did she betray it like this? She couldn’t forgive

Eva grinned and let her fingers regenerate wildly. She felt like it had been a long time since she used this ability.

The extended fingers divided and divided to create dozens of tentacles.

“If you dare to mock me, please be punished!”

And he stretched it out to the two women. The tentacles gradually caressed her flesh, starting at her thighs and shoulders and neck. Some violent tentacles even made their way into the fabric.

As if tempting a snake, sharp and sticky as if threatening a woman’s life with its venom. The tongue-in-cheek greeting from last night is reproduced here. Somewhere, it looked like a worm crawling on her body.

She tickled, caressed, and teased her like that, urging them to wake up.

However, there was no sign that it would happen.

In the end, Iba tried to wake them up by doing the heinous thing of pinching her body everywhere, but this was also to no avail.

“…Dead?”

She turned the curse of her impossibility back on her body, made her fingers normal, then held them to her nose or mouth. Judging by her breathing, she wasn’t dead. Judging from what she’d touched earlier, she wasn’t breaking out in a particularly cold sweat, her temperature was steady, and her heartbeat was normal.

There is no problem with her survival. But it doesn’t happen These are people who have been academics and police officers for a long time. Even though there were so many external reactions, it doesn’t happen?

I wondered.

“Hey, what are you doing? Wake up. Innis, wake up. After sleeping like that, when are you going to play love games with me?”

He grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her, but both of them enjoyed their sleep, but did not move to get up.

“…What is it?”

Something was strange. A state in which there is no abnormality in life, but inability to wake up from sleep.

Is it a curse that keeps you asleep?

Eva got out of bed.

Even if it’s not a curse, it’s probably something equivalent to that. With a sense of trepidation, Eva began to explore the inside of her home. Each room, the drawing room where everyone gathered, the study, the kitchen, and other places.

In the guest room, just like Liliana and Innis, there were only people who had fallen asleep. Wiz and Stella both fell into a sound sleep and woke up but did not wake up. Except for the room where people were staying, there was no one in the other place.

Only doubts were amplified.

What’s really going on? Eva frowned at her and stepped out of the mansion. The garden I walked through last night was still blooming with beautiful flowers and exuding a sweet fragrance. It was the same with people there.

“Rumia.”

“Yes! Lady Iva.”

She still greeted Iva with a sad face.

“Did you have a good morning?”

She frowned, closed her eyes on one side of her, and lowered her head, raising her hand as if to lift the hem of a skirt that was not there. She looked more like a maid than a butler. She wasn’t even brazen.

“Do you look at peace?”

“At least I’m glad you’re not tired.”

Rumia’s eyes like moonlight reached him through the morning sunlight. Her gaze was shapeless, but he felt hers sharp. It wasn’t just the gaze that conveyed her formlessly.

Smell. I realized that Rumia was smelling her own right now.

“What are you doing…”

“Last night, unlike the day before yesterday, you spent the night with Innis-sama and Lilia-sama.”

Rumia jumped at him. It was so fast that she couldn’t even react. She buried her nose in the nape of his neck and inhaled deeply.

“Did you enjoy it? Ah… Not now. You haven’t bumped your belly button yet. Sorry, I was mistaken.”

“Still? What is that…”

“Follow me.”

With a markedly different attitude from last night, Rumia held his hand. It was a bit coercive.

“What do you mean follow me. Why don’t they wake up, what happened now… Evil!”

Before he could finish her question, Rumia took her first step. It was similar to when she was attacked by Wiz’s superpowers. The scenery around me flashed by. Faster than riding a train.

After crossing the garden as quickly as the axis method, what we reached was the garden again. However, unlike before, it was night, the moon was up, and the flowers were withering.

The man who was sitting in the middle of the garden got up to meet him.

“Hello.”

Purple hair swaying in the moonlight.

“It’s been a while.”

It was Lila.
