63 – Drowning (11)

In the low, humid air of the basement, the sound of someone’s comfortable breathing mixed in and pressed the space even more heavily.

The object I need to watch now is sleeping comfortably even in this situation where I don’t know when my life will be taken away.

It was a comfortable sleep, as if it were a cartoon, my nose would swell like bubblegum.

Aren’t those chains uncomfortable? Yongke also sleeps.

As expected, the behavior of the madman is incomprehensible. If you’re like me, I don’t think you’ll be able to sleep comfortably in a situation like that, but how can you sleep so well? There was even a commotion that woke me up earlier.

I recited it while staring at Morbe.

“I have no intention of doing anything bad.”

No word came back, so I glanced over at Lila. Still with her head down on her floor, she mumbled her displeasure without letting it out into her mouth.

“I’m not on the sidelines with Morbei, and I have no interest in submerging this city.”

Perhaps I am also a social animal, so it seems that other people’s characteristics are easy to transfer. I also took over the baton and made the lame excuses they made earlier.

Honestly, it’s absurd. Doubting me is the same as doubting my master, Lilia.

“More than anything else, do you think Lilia will stay alone if I do something like that? It’ll do a lot of damage to her too. I do things like that for no reason.”

That’s not just a big damage, it’s damage that can even lead to death.

I swore not to do any evil. Even my own life was at stake in that oath, and the trust of this oath was guaranteed by Lilia at the risk of her own life.

I don’t usually show off, but I’m trying to make sure that Lilia’s freedom is just enough that no one will go to her fame.

I really don’t like the fact that my freedom is suppressed by others, but I had to accept it sweetly because it was a necessary oppression.

There are times in life when you have to bear burdens even if you don’t want to bear them.

It’s a burden to be unloaded anyway. Thinking so, I suppressed myself.

When Lila’s story came up, she raised her head and looked at me.

Slightly tearful eyes, even resentment lingered in those eyes.

“…So!”

Lyla shouted, as if spitting out a sound that had been stored in silence.

“So, isn’t it like that!”

I closed my eyes for a moment and was ready to receive all of Layla’s emotions.

She paused and breathed so quietly that she could not be heard, adjusting her body as if she were immersed in meditation.

So that I don’t get swept away by the torrent of emotions, so that only time passes by me.

The only thing you can accept is the language, and don’t accept the emotions that are like heated knives such as anger contained in it.

Okay, the preparations are complete.

You can come as much as you like!

“I don’t think you’re aware right now! You’re evil right now, no way! You’re a very dangerous creature! Even if you didn’t mean to, your body alone, or even the very fact of your existence, could do a lot of damage to this city. “It doesn’t matter what your intentions are! When have madmen ever acted out of consideration for others’ opinions?!”

The torrent of Lyla was strong. As if bursting a hole in the dam where I had accumulated my emotions, the violent shouts hit my ears painfully.

“But if someone dies because of you… Can you take responsibility?”

No, I can’t.

Who is responsible for the lives of others? It is ridiculous to say that he is responsible after killing him in the first place. What kind of reward can you give to an opponent who has already died?

Taking responsibility for death is not for the dead.

It’s a game between the insignificant living.

“No, you can’t! From the moment you hurt someone, the responsibility doesn’t go back to you! It goes right back to the senior! The one who took you as a servant!”

Every single word was correct. Misdeeds can happen without my intention, and Lillia bears the responsibility for my misdeeds.

As expected, he is a highly educated person. Eyes that see through the phenomenon are no joke.

“If senpai goes through something because of you…!”

What Layla suspected of me was some kind of insurance. The primary wall to prepare for the worst.

Measures taken to prevent something from doing damage to this city, whether I intended it or not.

“Ah, don’t worry about that.”

“Doesn’t he look good! Seriously, why did you bring a guy like this to your side…”

The hind part could not properly function as a language and scattered due to a small mumble. Still, the intention was clearly communicated.

You must have wondered why people like me wrap around.

He probably didn’t like the fact that he was even closer than he was.

Besides, we go on trips together, and he’s risking his life to take responsibility for me.

You don’t like something. Something won’t feel good

I can understand.

“Even if I get into a major accident and get into a situation where Lillia has to commit suicide, I still have my thoughts. What do you see me as?”

I was also stained by Layla’s displeasure. I can’t help it because I’m a social animal.

“Don’t worry, I’ll kill myself first, so I’ll find Lillia before she dies.”

Even when you die, you have to drag someone else’s life to use it. Even if I die, I will die alone. From the time Lilia made a covenant with me, she thought so.

“Why, are you satisfied with this answer?”

Her I glanced at her at her beside her. Unfortunately, it didn’t look so light-hearted.

“…I really hate you. How can you talk so lightly?”

“Well, I don’t like you too much. I’m sorry.”

“Senior, why did you take this guy as your seed…”

Lila jerked her head and murmured softly.

“I’d rather have been in your situation… If I had become a demon like you…”

What?

I doubted my ears for a moment. What did he say now?

Beyond simple jealousy, are you coveting my place?

A human? The devil?

The moment he said the words that didn’t have much meaning, he gradually grew in size as he was complicatedly intertwined with various situations. It landed on my heart with a weight like lead.

I dug into it with such sharp and fervent heat that it ignited a fire in this ocean-like heart.

Layla spat her words, and suddenly her complexion turned blue. After all, she was a highly educated person, it seemed a bit far-fetched for her to say. Realizing this kind of mistake has nothing to do with academic ability.

She covered her mouth with her hands and inhaled as she did.

“…Sorry, that was a mistake.”

“You are very interesting.”

I was at the point of bursting out laughing at the absurdity. I also covered her mouth with her hand to suppress her rising laughter, and continued her words.

“There is a saying that the rich steal even the poor. That’s exactly what it is.”

They say that they want to decorate their lives by stealing the episodes of poverty, as if they are not satisfied with their brilliant education, career, comfortable house, power, and wealth. The words were the same. After all, people’s lives are all the same, and greed is fair.

“I’m so blinded by love, I guess I’m greedy for a position like the devil now? Do I want this body so much that I don’t know when someone might try to use me or when someone might try to kill me?”

I said with my arms outstretched. Quietly, but not small.

“Take it. Please take it. You do it for me, please.”

Layla’s expression hardened as time passed, and a smile bloomed on my face in proportion to it.

There are one or two things I can’t tell anyone.

To Lila, that must have been what she said earlier.

You can’t be jealous of me, you want to be like me. I would rather have been there desires like this.

You must have thought that without looking at the various disadvantages that you will get along with getting it.

Love blinds, so it’s not impossible to understand. But that doesn’t mean you have to understand it.

A heart that cannot speak is bound to have a reason for not being able to speak.

“I can understand your concern for Lillia. I know you want to be together. But aren’t there things you shouldn’t say? You’ve learned a lot differently from me, so you know that.”

Her remark was nothing more than a mere deception. A foolish and deceptive statement that, while already holding many things in his arms, he wants to throw away the things he had in order to embrace them even more.

“Let’s think carefully before speaking next time.”

“…He also talked about suicide earlier.”

“What?”

“I didn’t say anything. Didn’t I hear you wrong?”

Aww, she let out a sigh and lowered her outstretched arms. Even thinking about it again makes me angry.

There is also a decent position as a witch with a high education. He has reached the level of a great wizard, and his future has a definite shape. A bright life will be drawn with light.

Who is jealous of whom?

This is funny. What kind of love is it that a person in a castle wants to live in mud?

I can’t understand the thoughts of proud people. It is in line with the inability to read the mind of a madman.

Surely, all the proud bastards in this world are no different from crazy bastards. I have come to realize one truth.

After that, no conversation came or went, and I quietly watched the madman.

**

Since it’s in the basement, I don’t know the sense of time. Maybe it’s daytime now. A time when the sound of whistles echoes through the town and the alleys are moderately crowded.

Come to think of it, what about the inspection at the station? Innis is sleeping because of overwork today.

“Hey Layla.”

“Why, Mr. Iba. And how did that title come about?”

“It’s about being polite. Anyway, aren’t there any checks?”

“The inspection can just be left to ordinary police officers. Mr. Innis is sincere and doesn’t tend to do his job lightly, so he’s just continuing to do so.”

Are you used to doing things alone? He’s a kid who handles most of the standards to suit himself, but he won’t be satisfied with the level of an ordinary policeman. Even if it was a simple inspection, it would have been more reassuring to do it yourself.

“I see.”

“Yes, it is.”

There was silence again.

What time is it? He didn’t bring a watch, so it may have been several hours since Innis and Lilia went to bed. Seeing how hungry I am, it seems like time has passed.

I focused on Morbe again. Because she doesn’t know what sh*t she might be doing in that restraint. He was still sleeping soundly. The room was still quiet.

“…Hey, hey.”

It was Lila who broke the silence. She called me to see what she had to say.

“What is it?”

“That comment was… Well, I’m sorry.”

This is unexpected. I’ll apologize first.

Why didn’t you think you’d apologize? Was it because you were jealous of me?

No matter how much you hate it, people have shame. If you are aware that you have done something wrong, you will naturally feel guilty. Lyla would have been too. So even if you hate it, you must have apologized to me.

As expected, prejudice is scary.

“I’m sorry about that.”

“You have to say it’s okay at this point! I really don’t like it at all!”

I didn’t think much of it. My compassionate heart made the apple seep deep into my body, killing a thousand dollars in no time.

Lila crossed her arms and she glanced at me disgruntledly. I smiled and passed that gaze.

“I’m sorry too.”

“What is it?”

“Did you play under the bridge? You were really scared.”

“It’s not like that! It wasn’t scary at all? I had a lot of magic formulas in my head to subdue you and imprison you here?!”

“Oh, I see.”

Aside from this, no matter how much I thought about it, I had nothing to apologize for.

Why, I’m so close to Lilia that it makes you jealous. Sorry. You can’t apologize like that, can you? Her functions would be similar, only the nuances and nuances of her one were different.

I got up from my seat, straightened my bent back, and relaxed.

“…What are you doing? Are you going to take turns with the people in the sleeping room?”

“I’d love to, too.”

I noticed from the middle, but I heard an awkward sound from here.

The breathing sound of a sleeping person has a certain rhythm, but that rhythm has been broken some time ago.

“Probably not.”

If you wake up, you mark it as waking up. Why do you keep pretending to sleep? It’s really questionable.

It may be unfair, but if you do something suspicious, you should be punished accordingly. I hoped that you would not resent me because I deserved to be treated like that.

“Layla, can you call Lillia and Innis for me while I watch that?”

“…Yeah? Suddenly why? And like I said before, I can’t keep you and that necromancer together.”

“Otherwise, will I wake you up? You want me to see all of Lilia’s disheveled clothes as she sleeps?”

“Please do not do anything while I am back and wait for you.”

As expected, he is a very respectful person who thinks of his seniors. Persuasion is easy

Actually, it’s like that of Lilia. I’ve already seen it dozens of times, but there’s no reason for her to be hated for saying this for nothing, so she should shut up.

That moment.

-Why!

The alarm went off. Such a sound came from the magic tool for transmitting sound that was hung in the basement.

Lila didn’t move her feet, but she froze and looked back at me.

“What is this sound?”

“This is a warning to evacuate as a monster has appeared.”

“Aha.”

I was told something was going wrong!

I kicked Morbe right away without hesitation.

Once you hit him, something will come out.
