28 – Fallen Death (11)

There was no reason to stay here anymore after the ordeal was resolved, but I still remained in Kyle Devotier.

It was to listen to the circumstances of the runaway magic and to investigate the truth.

Because it was the fact that I was the devil that was necessarily included in the process, his identity was revealed to other witches other than the chairman and Lilia.

Fortunately, only a handful of people have come to know my true identity. It didn’t spread all over the world.

The fact that Lillia’s squire, Iva, is a demon has been kept secret.

Well, spread rumors that this is great news. Rather, it would be more valuable to hear that Frecia will make fun of me from now on. From a gossip point of view.

Of course, it was Fresia’s passionate defense that played a part in my decision not to disclose my identity. Of course, Lillia defended her diligently.

The biggest reason was ‘I can’t handle how many flies will cling to the news that a controllable devil has appeared’.

Well, just the touch of the poor blood magic and the devil’s heart caused a runaway of that range, but it’s impossible to guess how great of a disaster it would be if other great people clung to it.

But that didn’t allow me to freely roam the world. No matter how much human emotion and rationality you have, there is a possibility of being kidnapped like this time, and there is a possibility that I will lose my reason and run amok.

The gaze of the witch looking down at me sitting on the high chair and table. It weighed heavily on me along with the sunlight streaming in from the ceiling.

“You’re going to conduct the Trial of the Sage?”

“Yes. Because I want to turn this demon’s body back into a human.”

“It’s great~ It’s great~ Isn’t that the reason why it’s so exemplary and beautiful, everyone???”

“A lake? Shut up.”

I am now 6 witches, the top executives of the Witch Association with the same number of lily petals as the symbol of the Witch Association.

They were leading the trial.

It was a trial to decide the disposition of the existence of a ‘devil infinitely similar to a human’, which the chairman passed over quietly.

I was arrested in the center as a defendant in the most secret and most authoritative judge.

However, the restraint was not done with hideous handcuffs like chains, but with handcuffs like crowns made of shamrock. I can’t tell if this is a heavy trial or a light trial.

“…If it’s an ordeal, I’m sure he’ll wander around here and there, but who knows what kind of incident he’ll go through each time? It’s an ordeal with the devil! Do you think this variable is controllable?!”

“Ah~ Why do you care about everything! Why is an ordeal an ordeal! It’s an ordeal only when it’s hard!”

“Are you kidding me Lake…!”

“You have fresh courage unlike a young person these days~? Look at me, Luca.”

“Don’t call me by name during trial Lake…”

“Why are you so mean, our cutie Luca~”

“Please shut up the lake!”

Lucca, the witch of the moon, and Minerva, the witch of the lake, roared and turned the judge into an uproar. The Witch of the Moon is a victim of the Witch of the Lake, but what can she do? What floats is what floats.

Amid the tribunal of the most powerful people with no sense of tension, I could barely hold back a yawn.

“Don’t pretend to be strong, Luca~ Why does a kid who can’t even smoke because he has a sore throat wear clothes like a bully?”

“That, what does that matter now Lake! Now on trial…”

“Yes trial, trial. Trial! Hey, Iva, aren’t you a bad boy?”

“Yes no.”

“Okay, let’s work hard. Now the trial is over~”

“This b*tch is real!”

While the conversation between the two witches was going on, our president, the witch of the silver lion, Freesia, knocked on her tabletop to drown out her turmoil.

“Let’s be quiet, everyone. They’re still talking.”

“The silver lion did something well and interceded. After all, it’s a problem because you took too much care of that guy’s circumstances.”

“If you twist it, you, the witch of the moon, will become the president. Is there anything wrong with me saying that I will wield my power?”

Frecia lightly ignored the Moon Witch’s words, then glanced at Lillia with a sidelong glance. She has her flower witch in the seat right next to her own.

One of the cadres of these six witches.

“Flower witch, what do you want to do? Isn’t it your seed? Just tell me.”

By the way, the other two of the six witches are absent because they are not currently in the Association, wandering around outside of Kyle Devoutier. You’ll hear the news later.

“I…”

Lilia took her words and breath a little, then she said confidently.

“I don’t think my squire will run amok or cause harm to innocent people. My squire has the spirit of sacrifice to sacrifice himself for others even though he has been persecuted since childhood. Even in the misty forest last time, By the way, it was the same in the runaway incident three days ago.”

Her speech was clear and unclouded. As if she were flapping her wings under the clear sunlight after rain, she also showed a relaxed appearance.

“I agree. I’ve read all the reports on the last demon manifestation case and this one, but the author’s response was good enough to serve as an example to others. There’s no reason to treat him like a criminal.”

‘Ji was the first to treat me as a criminal…’

Presia’s defense backed up Lillia’s words. She glanced at me with her jewel-like eyes. When she made eye contact with me, Fresia smiled and said the purpose of her vision.

“But no matter how good he is, it is also true that he is dangerous. He will come under my direct control and be protected by me…”

“Chairman. Taking private property is a crime.”

“hahahaha, you’re kidding, Lilia.”

As Lillia glared at her fiercely, Fresia smiled and moved on.

Are you still unable to let go of your lingering feelings? It’s like Frecia. It’s not like it’s going to go away after a few days. I can’t wait to see what kind of tricks he will do in the future, but I have no intention of being at Kyle Devoutier any longer as of today. Today will be the last time I will see Fresia’s face.

Minerva, the Witch of the Lake, raised her hand and sat up, moving her body about in her frenzy.

“Me too! I want him too?”

“Why is the witch of the lake again…”

“Why, you look cute. More than anything, I like the fact that you’re taking on challenges! You have guts!”

This is the judge. This is the auction house. As Lillia’s sigh and mine deepened, there was someone who let out her deepest sigh.

Luka, the Moon Witch. Her piercing gaze stabbed me.

“Ha sh*t… these b*tches will go to any lengths to get a cute little nest egg.”

Her I don’t know much about her. Up to the amount I read, there was no single episode, and there weren’t that many.

However, the concept of a bully girl, which is a rare setting in this [Night Butterfly], Has a strong impression compared to her lesser appearances and enjoys cult-like popularity. Unfortunately, I’m not really interested in it, so I don’t know the setting. At least I like cute things like children, cats, and dogs?

“Hey b*tches.”

Swear words sharpened like daggers cut through the commotion and created silence.

There is one reason why this trial took place now, because of my disposition.

And the core of that disposition is how to control me.

As long as I’m revealed to be a demon, I can’t control the lukewarm appearance like now.

“That guy is a devil. A devil who seduces all crazy bastards and causes destruction just by his presence! The incident three days ago was also at the Witches’ Association, so at least it stopped like this. Imagine that it exploded somewhere else. How many people must have died? Think?”

The Moon Witch tapped her tabletop with her index finger and said nervously. It’s because her tone is overheated. The content itself was the most constructive here.

“How many people like us, who can’t even use magic, must have died. Huh? Don’t think of witches as the standard of the world. They’re not people, you idiots. They can’t respond to things that can be called crises and search for them.”

That was right. If a disaster is caused by me, the people who suffer the most will be ordinary people. Ordinary, ordinary people who spend their lives worrying about tomorrow and worrying about living in peace today.

“You guys are so handsome? You sit here and control the lives of strangers. Can you guys take responsibility?”

“So you’ve decided to keep the information secret so that it doesn’t happen. Don’t let the devil worshipers or the vampires this time get near you!”

“Flower, you kid. I know you want to cherish it as your seed, but you have to be honest. It’s hidden because it hides information? And why do you think only of them. The possibility of him going wild? Can you say zero?”

Certainly, people with full time are different. It’s tough to say, but it’s all true. The length of time they have seen me is small. Few people can judge everything about a person in this short amount of time.

“As I said earlier, Eva…”

“So! I’m sure you know something about him. You’ve been dating him for about a month now, haven’t you?”

“Moon Witch, your words are too harsh. Be in moderation.”

Precia’s eyes became quite bitter. Was the Moon Witch’s pressure on Lillia offensive?

But first of all, it’s a public position, and that’s the status of the chairman. There was nothing wrong with her remarks, so she couldn’t criticize her too much. There is a reason for that, and if the situation continues like this, in the end, her decision-making power will be given to her as the person with the highest power.

If that happens, I can really get under the chairman’s papers. Even if it wasn’t under the chairman, it wouldn’t be under Lillia. This is because Lilia is the youngest and least experienced here, and also has the weakest ability to take responsibility. Her authority is weak. Others were too powerful to handle one demon.

Cunning b*tch, you say you’re flirting, but do you play tricks at times like this?

“Huh… It comes out like this, right?”

I heard Lillia’s muttering. Lillia glared at me with her eyes full of mischief. Why me If you’re going to stare, try staring at the witch of the moon or the chairman.

“Eva!”

“Why… No, why.”

“Can you swear that you won’t harm an innocent person! You won’t take the form of a demon and lead the world to ruin?!”

“Of course.”

Because it was a public position, we spoke in respectful and short language, befitting the status of master and servant. It seemed to be enjoying a bit of a situational drama, so it was quite doable.

Lilia looked at me more seriously than ever before.

“If you fail to keep your words, you will have to apologize for the responsibility with your life. Can I take your life at that time?!”

Are you going to take care of my execution when I do something wrong? Well, even if you die, it’s better if someone you know kills you. I nodded.

“Okay! I’ll let the Flower Witch, Lilia, take responsibility for his remarks!”

The sunlight coming in through the tall windows, it was Lillia’s staff that separated the light. Her mana wavered. The dense power crackled like flint, and the power became pictures and words.

A magic circle appeared near Lillia’s heart, and also near my heart. It was red like blood and shimmering like a ruby. It’s not blood magic. But she had a similar level of sinisterness.

“I declare! I, Lillia, the Flower Witch, take all his sins as mine!”

A wave of red that shimmers like mist flows from my heart, and flows from her heart. Soon, the waves met in one place, and the waves became a chain and wrapped around each other’s hearts.

The taut chain felt like a lifeline.

I know this magic.

Under mutual agreement, magic that shows absolute effect only on the mutually agreed upon person.

【Covenant of the Heart】

The magic that put absolute restrictions was now cast between me and myself.

“Here and now, his life is connected to mine, so my death is his death.”

The content is extremely simple.

If Lillia dies, I die too. This is not simply cutting the throat or stopping the heart. It is conceptual death. They will die, ignoring all physical abilities such as regeneration.

What does this mean?

“That’s it? If he does something wrong, I’ll take my life to apologize. Then he’ll die too. I’ll protect him and prevent the devil worshipers and vampires from fooling around. Does anyone have any complaints after going this far?”

… Means.

A very ignorant method.

I took responsibility for all the accidents that could be caused by me.

We shoulder the responsibility with our lives.

The overwhelming impact made everyone shut up.

The witch of the moon who knocked on her desk and then hardened, the witch of the lake who spilled it all on the table while trying to drink coffee, and the witch of the lake looking at us with twinkling eyes tell us how stupid she was. .

“Oh, no, I didn’t tell you to go this far…”

“Lilia! What are you doing!”

“Wow~ Are you going to be together until your black hair grows green? Be romantic~”

This is the ordeal of Lilia, not the Sage.

If you don’t want your friend to die, behave well.

A warning to stay close to me if you don’t want to die.

I won’t be separated from Lillia until the sage’s trial is over.

“Crazy b*tch…”

The courtroom was filled with swear words that could not be uttered due to image management.

It was a disrespectful remark, but no one raised a counterargument anywhere.

**

“Did I have to do that?”

“If you didn’t do that, you would have gone to the president or the witch of the lake. Which do you prefer, a lifelong slave or a toy?”

“Thinking about it again, being next to a friend is the best~”

“Right.”

As soon as the trial was over, Lilia and I took the sky carriage to return to Solusio, where Innis was.

From now on, I have to travel here and there to receive the Sage’s trials. The plan was to be established after arriving in Solusio.

The reason was that I didn’t want to stay at Kyle Devoutier any longer, but after all.

“Innis must be very angry…?”

“You said you’d be back in a day, but you’ve been sitting around for days, so what…”

“Who wants to hit the head first?”

“Of course I have to f*ck him. I’m the closest person to Innis.”

“Don’t bullsh*t Lilia. I’ve crawled a lot more than you. Being a pro-apologizer, I’ll be more stable.”

“Just beat them both at the same time.”

“Then…”

I let out a deep sigh. Innis has a lonely personality, but I need to keep playing with him before going on a trip.

It’s fun to play, but it takes a lot of energy. Physical stamina is also stamina, but mental stamina is consumed the most. In other words, you get incredibly tired.

My body feels tired just thinking about it. No, I was just tired and exhausted.

The eyes that had not been glued together for over a month were attracted like magnets and tried to stick to each other.

I tried to end my long, long day on my own.

I gritted my teeth and held back my sleep. I couldn’t sleep today either.

Sleep is the greatest blessing and curse that has come down to life. Rest like milk and honey, pain that takes away time. But not being able to sleep is more painful than any pain. Being heated by fire must be painful in the short term. However, it is insignificant compared to the sum of the pain accumulated from not being able to sleep.

“…Sleepy.”

“Are you sleepy?”

Lilia must have heard what I muttered inadvertently.

“Yeah, I’m sleepy. I can’t help it.”

“…Can you stand it?”

“Can you stand it if you hold it in? You endure it by forcefully biting your tongue or something.”

“Mae, did you do that every time?”

“Right.”

Lilia looked at me with a very serious and concerned expression. Fortunately for her, the vibration inside the carriage was so severe that she automatically chased her to sleep without causing any pain.

“Then… You said the runaway happened when you slept?”

“That’s right, if you lose consciousness, the magic I turn to your body will also cut off. Just like when we first met, the flesh will have a dance party.”

“It’s dangerous… I have a covenant and I can get into trouble…”

Lillia pondered as she placed her hand on her chin. Her carriage rattled and her hair and hat jumped, but her hands and chin were still connected. Then, her skin, which was as soft as white petals, suddenly turned red. What was she thinking that caused the heat to rise in her body?

“Then… I’m sorry that I arbitrarily made a covenant with you… Yes, as a precaution… That…”

Lilia spoke intermittently. She even looked at me sparsely, repeating avoiding me.

“Do you want to… Sleep?”

The words she barely uttered were the ruin that made me the happiest. A comfort doomed. That’s sleep He knows what he’s talking about

I spat nervously at Lilia, whose face was still red.

“What are you sleeping on? I told you earlier. When I sleep, the runaway…”

“Isn’t the runaway happening because you can’t turn the magic inside your body?”

To be precise, it is to turn magic into the stigma inside the body, but it’s not particularly wrong, and it’s hard to make excuses in many ways if it’s discovered that I can use magic, so I gave a rough answer.

“Yes.”

“Then, if someone manipulates and circulates magical energy inside you while you’re unconscious… Wouldn’t you be able to sleep?”

I got annoyed at the hesitant attitude and nonsensical hypotheses. If that’s possible, I wouldn’t go through this trouble.

“No, that’s right! How are you going to control the magical power in my body! I know that I can’t do that too? Do you really ignore this because you didn’t learn it?”

It is impossible for someone else to manipulate one’s magical power inside one’s body. It is like turning a TV channel with a remote control that is not linked. If it is not connected, it cannot be reached, and if it cannot be reached, it cannot be dealt with. Mana is sensitive, so others cannot carelessly handle it.

“I wonder if I could infuse my body with your mana…”

I wonder if I could inject the mana of the person I want to control into my body and control it from outside the body.

That can’t be possible.

It makes sense that someone else is manipulating the magic within me…

“….. Huh?”

Wait, it’s possible.

I can put Lillia’s magic into my body.

If I have Lillia’s magical power in my body, even if it’s not me, Lillia can operate it in my body.

A method of injecting someone else’s magic into one’s body.

A method of connecting each other’s magical powers so that both you and others can operate.

A method that was impossible with common sense where I lived.

It was here.

It is physically very easy, but psychologically it is very difficult.

Acts that are extremely dependent on intimacy, where possible and impossible depend on the relationship with the person.

An act that carries multiple symbols and, furthermore, carries a mystery to some people.

The act of turning various rumors around as if the mystery had reached its climax.

“…A kiss.”

Let me murmur,

Lilia nodded her head shyly.
