I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

54 – Drowning (2)

Innis met my eyes and smiled. Her blonde hair glistened in the sunlight.

Under the red eyes that smiled beautifully, the pale pink lips squirmed as if trying to convey something to me. It seemed that he was trying to convey something.

A normal person would not be able to hear it, but my sensitive hearing can pick it up.

Not only that, but I can easily read the shape of my lips as I often use lip-reading when having secret conversations with my former co-workers.

The contents of the words determined in this way.

“You can’t cut in line.”

Criticism for us trying to get out of this line faster than others.

With our bodies floating, we flew to the back of the line.

“Uh… Uh…?”

Innis how could you do this to me!!!!

Before I could pour out the unbearable sense of betrayal, I settled behind the person at the very back.

“…Failed.”

“If only you hadn’t made a useless suggestion…!”

“Why is that because of me!”

When Lillia and I were pushed out like that, everyone blamed others.

It took an hour for the line to disappear.

**

“Innis… What the hell… I believed it… I believed it…!”

“Iva, you have to stand in line honestly. You can’t rely on connections like that to get convenience!”

I hadn’t thought of Innis’ needlessly honest and tactless side. Even a trivial negative, such as passing through the line quickly with an acquaintance chance, is not passed over carelessly.

Instead of sympathizing with this desperate pain, she severely scolded me.

“That’s right, Iva. What do you think of such a terrible idea that you’re forcing Innis to commit infidelity?”

Lilia sneaked behind Innis and attacked me. It was absurd. He said he would have liked it the most if that request had passed.

“Yes, I’m the only bad guy. You’re such an asshole.”

“No, not that much…”

“Right.”

Lilia, that traitor to the end. Yes, I should forgive everything with my wide tolerance.

I laughed self-deprecatingly, then held out my hand.

“…Anyway, long time no see Innis.”

“Yes!”

Innis smiled brightly and took my hand with both hands. He even shook it. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in that friendly look, and I’ve been soaked in melancholy without knowing it.

Innis always had a pure and clear smile. When I sent a letter once a month, Innis always wrote a sincere reply. Innis, who opened her heart for the first time after coming here.

I am thrilled to be able to meet such a person again like this.

“You know what! I’m done with today’s work? Are you okay today?”

“Huh?”

Innis slipped his fingers between his fingers. Surprised by the entanglement of the strings, I tried to remove his hand, but Ennis held me tighter with his hand.

She took a step closer. The already close distance narrowed.

“Huh? It’s okay? The inn will introduce you to the place I’m staying at! There’s also a restaurant I know!”

The ruby eyes were sparkling with anticipation. I involuntarily nodded.

“Well, then… It’s okay. It’s been a while since we met. That’s about it.”

“!”

After receiving my consent, Innis’ expression brightened even more. He then turned his head around and asked Lillia as well.

“Is Lilia okay?”

“No, of course Innis…”

“Really?”

While Ennis was talking to Lilia, he naturally took me into his arms and stroked her hair frantically.

The feeling of her hair being stirred here and there, the smell of Innis’ perfume, and the body temperature felt through the fabric. The sensations that had been felt for a long time came all at once.

Did the desire for human warmth build up as much as the period of not meeting each other?

For some reason, I felt pity for Innis and accepted all of her skinship without rebelling.

“Sure. We’ve just arrived in a city we don’t know, so we’re excited to meet someone we know.”

After saying that, Lilia came between me and Innis and slashed at me with her hands. Now, it means to do it in moderation and fall.

“Hey…”

“On the street, do it like a man.”

“It’s been a while since we met…”

While Innis increased his voice, he dutifully released me from his chest.

Hmm, city air. The breath that had been blocked until now became more comfortable. As it is a city on the water, the faint smell of refreshing water adds to the state of being released from being suffocated and gives a refreshing feeling.

With that refreshing feeling, I felt nostalgic. A month in Solusio. It was a short but long month of not being able to sleep. Reminds me of the daily life of that day.

“…It’s been a while since I’ve seen something like this.”

Lilia muttered that. The voice that spread softly like the wind created a wave of sympathy in our hearts.

By the way, the reason Innis and Lillia were sent to the back was to secure time to talk comfortably during their own time off work?

Ah, that wouldn’t be it. Innis wasn’t dirty enough to plot such an insidious ploy. It must be just a coincidence.

“Then! Shall we eat? It’s almost dinner time now.”

“Okay. I’ll have to keep an eye on Innis whether we’re eating well. Aren’t you crying because there’s no one to eat with?”

“It can’t be! I have at least one colleague to eat with.”

When Lilia heard that, she reacted with visibly startled surprise.

“Nonsense! Ennis is not us but a friend? Surely there was none in Solusio…”

“Oh, Lilia. It’s rude to react like that. Of course, it’s surprising news that Innis has friends to eat with.”

“If you’re going to be rude to Eva?! I, I might have one or two people I know other than you guys!”

Innis grunted in his eyes, then left us alone and started moving his feet first.

“Inis kidding. Don’t be angry. Huh?”

“That’s right Innis. It’s just a small joke. It’s not serious.”

“Huh!”

So we did our best to appease the pouting Innis while we reached the restaurant.

**

The place we arrived at was a simple but cozy restaurant with small flower pots placed on the windows. A pleasant smell wafted through the gap in the door, pleasing the nostrils. He complained of pain in his stomach, tired from the long journey.

“Iva, are you very hungry? Let’s do it quickly.”

As soon as I sat down at the table, Innis handed me the menu. I’m not a child, and I can barely stand hunger, but they still treat me as such a small and precious being.

“I think the cream pasta here is so delicious~ Order Lilia too. I’ll serve it today.”

“I want to be your little bird forever.”

“I love you Innis.”

But if you buy me food, the story is different. Just love it

While I was happily looking at the menu, Lilia asked a question that I hadn’t asked before.

“But what’s Innis doing here?”

“Ah… That’s… It’s confidential. Is it okay if I tell you…?”

“If it’s confidential, don’t tell me…”

Lillia grasped the line in an instant, and then didn’t dig in any further. Nevertheless, seeing that Ye-gi will not die in her eyes, her attitude seems to have withdrawn, but she seems to still have questions.

Well, judging from the checks at the station, she must have needed to catch a suspicious person or some beast or thing. Besides, seeing that such chores were handled by a high-class person called the Demon Lord, she must have had magical abilities to determine them.

Anything like that is related to the devil after all. She seems to prefer to keep it a secret, even if it means preventing people’s confusion.

Originally, we would also seek friendship with Innis, but we shouldn’t dig further into it.

However, the purpose of our coming here has one more purpose besides trials.

A vampire and necromancer who knows my identity. And a witch who, with a very high probability, would have had a hand in the devil. To find Morbe.

“But Innis, isn’t there a shortage of manpower? Aren’t you doing it alone again for no reason because you feel guilty about dragging ordinary people into such a dangerous job?”

Lilia cautiously approached Innis.

“Shall we help…? I’d like both the powerless side and the convenient side of the archmage and monsters.”

In a word, we will support you, so can you share some information? It was an invitation to help with such content. If you get help, the sharing of information will inevitably happen.

Even because Lilia is a witch, there is no big problem in helping her. Aside from being a scholar who studies magic, a witch is well known to the world for her so-called solver aspect.

Whether in public or private, as long as it is unlawful, she witch can extend her hand. That is, she has the power to meddle in everything, as long as it is agreed upon.

She heard that there are also mercenary-type witches who use this to solve difficult problems for a high fee.

“Hmm…”

“How about it? I think it’s a pretty good suggestion.”

“That’s true…”

Unexpectedly, Innis didn’t readily agree and waited. This is a bit of a surprise.

Even if we exclude our friendship, looking at it objectively, the power of Lilia and me is very useful. I don’t know Innis, but I can use magic now.

I’m sure it would be helpful in any case, even though I have a status to help legally. Innis hesitates.

This is one of two things, that this case is a top-secret operation that no one can help.

Or maybe she’s incapable of making her own decisions.

– With my daughter.

While we were sitting at the table and chatting, another customer came to the restaurant. She glanced and saw that it was a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat. She’s a witch hat is she a witch

At the time I was thinking about that, the woman gradually came closer to this place.

“Because I’m not the only one running this operation… Oh, I see you’re here.”

She stopped right at this table.

“I’m not always alone, either? Let me introduce you.”

Innis smiled confidently. The woman who stopped right next to him, on the contrary, her expression was getting hard every minute.

A witch with her purple hair tied up in a ponytail, a beautiful witch whose hair and eyes the same color resemble jewels, and a witch whose gaze is fixed on Lilia and her body trembles.

“Layla from the Witches’ Association, sent to help me!”

Lyla, the purple witch.

Lillia’s junior, disciple of Minerva, the Witch of the Lake.

She is a pitiful witch in many ways who has had a crush on Lilia since she was an apprentice.

She stopped in front of us.

He is someone I know well. Before she got an apology for stopping the rampage of the Witch of the Lake in Kyle Devoteer’s library.

– Plopped.

The bag she was holding fell to the floor.

“Sir, senpai…? Why is senpai here…?”

“Oh, do you know me? That’s great! Mister Lila, please have a seat too.”

Perhaps he couldn’t read the atmosphere, Innis smiled brightly and urged her to sit next to her. By the way, before I could sit next to Lilia, Innis pulled her arm and made her sit right next to him. It didn’t matter where she sat…

“Dream? Is it a dream? Am I dreaming right now? Seo, why are you at such a pitiful restaurant…”

“A boring restaurant?!”

Innis was depressed when his favorite restaurant was unintentionally disparaged.

How dare you make Innis so sad? I can’t stand that!

I smirked quietly, all audible.

“If anyone hears, they’ll think you’re the owner of this restaurant. Isn’t it rude to call it a mean restaurant?”

“Eva, Mr. Layla is the landlord here.”

“Keuheum. I won’t tell you in advance…”

No, I didn’t know. Then you can say it’s stupid, and you can do it hahahaha.

Lila quietly turned her gaze to me and glared at me.

What’s wrong?

“…You were there too. Lillia’s squire.”

“Then there is. Is there not, because unlike you, I am destined to stick with Lilia all four seasons.”

Come to think of it, it makes sense that she wasn’t nice with her attitude towards me.

She has to stick with the person she has a crush on the opposite s*x every day, so her stomach is twisted. Even Nara gets jealous when she thinks of such a situation.

In other words, she is jealous of me.

“It’s been a while. Disciple of the Witch of the Lake.”

“Yeah, it’s been a damn long time.”

She openly showed her hostility towards me, then sat next to Lillia with a lost expression on her face.

It is a premonition that it will be a harmonious evening.
