I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

55 – Drowning (3)

Sitting down, Lila started talking to Lilia without even looking at me.

“Me, Seo, senpai, why did you come here…?”

“It’s just a trial trip.”

“That’s right. Senior, you’re really great. You’re different from criminals! These days, witches only try to avoid difficult paths, but don’t think about taking on challenges…”

Somehow I’m used to talking. I’ve heard people say that they don’t take on challenges, that kids these days don’t have the spirit to take on challenges.

Ah, that’s the female teacher. Minerva the Witch of the Lake.

Has the teacher been affected by the accident? Well, being next to such an unusual person is enough to be dyed.

“It’s not that great. I just do my job, of course.”

Lillia hid a smile of subtle delight, and she relaxed and gracefully drank from the cup.

The other side is being buried with their own story, so we can just leave it alone.

“Shall we order one?”

“Let’s do it.”

Innis was already close to me. Then it stuck even tighter and leaned slightly against my shoulder. Innis grabbed the other side of the menu board I was holding with her hand. As we held the menu together, we shared the same view and had fun thinking about how to decorate this table.

“This and this are delicious! And this too!”

“Can I order everything?”

“Of course!”

“An angel.”

That’s how I decided to order. Now all you have to do is wait patiently.

But waiting is no fun. Patience is attractive, but it’s also true that it’s boring, so I couldn’t help it.

I asked a trivial question to savor the time before the plates seduced the tongue.

“So, how did Innis and the apprentice of the Witch of the Lake come to work together?”

Innis gets flustered again, and Lyla’s expression hardens in displeasure when she hears my voice. It could be an expanded interpretation, but it’s fun to think of it that way, so I’ll think of it that way.

“…Uh, Ms. Lila, can I talk to you?”

“Construction must be distinguished. No matter how much, that’s a bit.”

“As I said before, we are active power. We can cooperate as long as we share information.”

He gave Lyla a coy look.

“Of course, Lillia will be of great help. The time we spend together will increase.”

Laila thought a little at that, then she nodded her head.

“Hwa, surely a witch of your level would be of great help in this case…”

As expected, I thought it was water. The story flows more easily than when Innis was alone. Love is blind. They always dye their eyes pink to cover their vision, so even scholars who need to maintain rational thinking are no exception.

“Miss Innis, are you okay…?”

“I was originally in favor! Whoa! Then we’ll keep going together from now on?”

“hehehe, that’s how it will be.”

Lilia laughed and was delighted. He kicked my shin under the table and praised my achievements.

Do I really have to praise you like this…? There were many things I wanted to say, but I held back.

Anyway, this is how we got permission to cooperate. I asked for information without hesitation.

“So, what’s going on, stopping the busy people on their way to the station and checking them?”

At those words, Ennis smiled bitterly. That’s right, Innis, that’s what I said targeting you. Even so, it was too much to fly to the back of the line. I hope you do some reflection.

“Sorry, but I couldn’t help it.”

After saying that, Innis lowered his voice, like a teacher reciting a frightening fairy tale.

“About two weeks ago, an unknown letter arrived in this Whitroom. ….”

[The demon who came by train will sink the land below the river.]

It is said that such words were written in blood.

“And immediately, monsters came out of the letter and attacked the person who opened the letter. As a result, a total of 7 casualties occurred.”

As she said that, Ennis looked somewhat gloomy. Beyond feeling sorry for the death of a person, he seemed to feel guilty somewhere.

It’s only natural that he can’t keep up, but he’s a person with a sense of responsibility to the point where it’s tiring.

“As a result of analyzing the letter, it turned out that blood magic was used. Whirtrum immediately applied for help after confirming that it was not just a joke.”

Innis tapped her chest. As a result, there was a shimmer in the voluptuous curves.

“Because it’s a devil-related matter, I have to call the Demon Lord or the Order of the Holy Knights. I decided to come here because I had a job nearby. Of course, my manpower is limited, so…”

“I heard of a request for reinforcements from the Witches’ Association.”

When Lilia heard that, she tilted her head. It means there is something stuck.

“It’s amazing that a rap witch is coming. Did Minerva give you permission?”

“He rather recommended it. He said he’d been too attached to me all this time. He told me to go back quickly. And since it’s a devil-related quest, he told me to gather some insight.”

“Well, if it’s that person, he’ll stay like that…”

Lilia relieved her embarrassment and instead smiled dejectedly as if she had gained a sense of absurdity. Lila looked at her with such a lovely expression. It’s so good that honey drips from your eyes.

“It’s an honor to hear you think of me.”

“Is this what you thought…?”

“Please be quiet.”

Oh yes, of course. Even if I don’t have to say anything, the time has come for me to shut my mouth. This is because colorful dishes began to decorate the table. I’m going to shove these lovely things into my throat, but do I have to spit them out of my throat?

I enjoyed holding a knife and fork. He hummed and pulled a plate toward me.

“I’ll eat well.”

“Yes! Do I have to eat a lot?”

Is Innis really an angel? To be able to accept my greediness like this with love. I want to be embraced by your wings for the rest of my life.

“Iba, you can’t eat it all like a pig, okay?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave yours for now.”

Did you eat more than me if you twisted it? I rolled the noodles with a fork and put them in my mouth. Others also started eating.

By the way, it’s a great event. What kind of scale is a demon that drowns a city under a river?

A bizarre incident worthy of the title of a suspicious city and a suspicious city. It is understandable that high-level personnel like Innis would conduct inspections. It would be effective only for people who can sensitively sense magic power.

I feel sympathy for those two who have to pursue a case like this without a single clue. Oh, now I have to investigate this case.

You can’t step out even now. Yes, of course not

Enjoying such an elegant evening, we also revealed our purpose for coming to this city.

“Yes? Didn’t you come here by chance because of the ordeal?”

“That’s… Actually, we also had some circumstances.”

Lyla’s eyebrows curled slightly. She was depressed She muttered softly, covering her mouth with her hand.

“I thought it would be a fateful reunion, but what… Oh, no. This is also fateful enough…”

I should have thought that there might be people with sensitive hearing. Her murmurs were all caught in my ears. It’s good that the thinking is positive.

“So? For what purpose?”

“That’s true…”

Hiding the fact that I am a demon. Recently, we revealed that there is a necromancer who continues to harass us. I tracked down the clues to chase the madman who always ran away with self-destruction. As a result, she came to this city.

“There are so many b*tches in the world who are trash! Stalkers who control corpses…! Find them and kill them right away.”

“It must have been very difficult… Yes, as Mr. Layla said, it’s an opponent that needs to be dealt with quickly. I might be making a body that’s easy to control right now.”

While Innis and Layla were indignant, they thought with cold eyes. It would be to compare the case they are currently in charge of and the malice we are experiencing now to find similarities.

“And… If you’re a necromancer, you’re a vampire. There’s a very high probability that you’re using demonic power, not just blood magic.”

“From what I’ve experienced, it’s clear that demonic power is being used. Even magic has its limits, but he didn’t seem to have those limits.”

Typically, those monster-like corpses that regenerate even in the state of bone meal. I haven’t shown it again since our first meeting, but such miracles are beyond magic.

Innis smiled happily.

“Looks like it’s worth investigating for now. Thanks Eva, Lilia! Thanks for a good clue!”

After seeing my friends for the first time in a while, the tension must have eased as the case progressed a bit. Innis had dark circles around her eyes. It wasn’t as much as me, but it gave off a pretty tired impression.

Hoping that she will feel comfortable soon, I put the food she gave me in her mouth.

**

After the meal, the strange group of witches, devils, and demons walked down the street at night.

The brown waves shimmering under the light of the streetlights were beautiful like a haze. The wind that blew softly, holding moisture, touched my hair refreshingly and left.

I guess I’m full now. We must perform our assigned duties.

With cases and troublesome opponents to deal with, we couldn’t relax even when the sun was resting.

There are four locations that Lillia found with her tracking magic.

It was a magic to find the last place it was, but mysteriously it pointed to four places. He pointed to remote alleys, sewers, and under bridges.

I only pointed to places with thick shadows. There are only places that are suspicious in many ways, so I have no choice but to visit them all.

“Then, let’s divide the staff.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Why is this? Are all these people going to rush around wasting time? We have to go efficiently.”

“That’s true, but…”

Layla timidly lengthened her words, as if she was sorry to part with Lilia.

“Then it’s simple. If you and Lila are on the same team, and Innis and I are on the same team.”

“I like it!”

Innis raised his hand and affirmed my opinion.

Just when I wondered if the team would be decided so easily, Lilia cut her off.

“No.”

It was a determined voice.

“Let’s go with Iva and Innis and Lyla as a couple.”

“Why?!”

“Why?”

“Why?”

But the other three protested. It was natural. Who would approve of such a forced decision? I don’t know if there is at least a good reason.

“…If you ask why, that’s… Um…”

Lilia looked at me with her eyes asking for help, but she didn’t say anything to me.

Because of the responsibility due to the covenant, you shouldn’t be apart from me. Ay no way

“Ah, anyway, there’s a reason me and Iba shouldn’t fall apart!”

…Is it true?

“Lilia? What’s wrong with her? Is she insecure if she can’t see Eva because she loves Eva so much?”

“Huh?! Innis-san, what kind of nonsense are you talking about! A senior told a man that, that can’t be…!”

“It can’t be! Oh, there’s a reason anyway! Say something, Eva!”

No, what can I say? I completely ignored Lillia’s request for help.

“It doesn’t matter if we’re not on the same team.”

“Eva!”

“…Then it’s good. Then, as Eva said earlier…”

“No?!”

“Why? Senpai, do you really hate acting like me?”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Wow that’s noisy. There will be no end to this I covered my ears with both hands and spoke loud enough to drown out everyone else’s voices.

“Decision is made fairly with rock-paper-scissors!”

“Oops!”

“Heeep!”

A sudden roar hit her ears, and Lila flinched in surprise. Lilia, accustomed to my eccentricity, flinched slightly and then glared at me, and Innis hiccuped once and glared at me with ax eyes.

After calming her alarmed heart, Lila glanced at me most displeasedly. What.

“Those who lose are one team, and those who win are a team. Agree?”

“…No I am.”

“I’ll consider agreeing.”

I ignored all of Lillia’s whining. If you can’t reveal the reason, let’s not even claim it in the first place.

“If you don’t pay, you lose! Rock, Paper, Scissors…”

As I quickly shouted a slogan, others hurriedly clenched their fists and raised them up.

“Bo!”

That’s how the mates to act together were decided.

“Thank you very much.”

“Why am I with this guy…”

“hahahahaha! This is all fate, let’s get along well!”

“Senpai, why do you have a man like this as your servant…”

Me and Lyla as a team, Innis and Lilia as a team.

I encouraged Layla, who was still full of complaints.

Reminds me of old Lilia. Back then, she fought quite often, but more fiercely than now. Ah… This is the nostalgia of the past. Of course I don’t miss it.

I moved forward, immersed in the memories of a slut that doesn’t exist now, but didn’t exist then.

“Let’s go, our jjingjjingi! We have to finish it quickly to meet the senior we love!”

“…I’m slowly losing my confidence to get to know you.”

“It’s okay! I hate you too!”

I’m excited kids.
