I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

70 – Drowning (18)

The feeling of melting and the sensation of floating in weightlessness and suffocating.

The sensation of burning and twisting of the flesh, the sensation of the internal organs flowing down, and the feeling of being kicked into the bronchi along with it.

Breathing is rough, and at the same time, breathing is difficult.

The smoke makes me thirsty, and the water fills my throat so it’s cold.

The pain of boiling and the pain of being submerged in water.

The pain of the two atrocities is vividly reproduced.

The pain of the past, which was absorbed into one memory and rotting, and the pain that still lingers in the afterglow are stabbed at the same time.

“Heh heck… Heh heck…”

I couldn’t feel if I was breathing or if the breath was eating me.

I was just waiting.

I had no choice but to endure this pain honestly and wait for Layla to succeed.

The best I could do now was to catch him so he wouldn’t lose consciousness. She can’t help her or bring about something new in her.

Like an artificial flower in a pot placed in a train, all they could do was to hide themselves and float by spreading out incorruptible branches and leaves.

Just trust Lila and persevere.

Shallow trust.

There was neither the time nor the incident required to build trust.

Anyway, the feeble recognition that comes naturally between humans is all she has for me. Or the responsibility for life.

She unilaterally forced the other person to take responsibility, and forced her to leave with her magic power through her kiss.

She might be resenting me by now.

It is no different than forcing a witch who is still inexperienced in indoor activities to make a lonely and desperate solution while walking inside her demon.

Looking at the original work, you seem to have a timid personality. Not to mention the fact that I was surprised to see a corpse moving under the bridge recently.

I feel sorry for nothing.

But what can I do?

Even for me, I don’t want to stay still in this situation.

In the end, Morbe, who summoned this demon, and the demon who tried to destroy the world in a very wise way. Isn’t the impurity of this world bad?

I am proud without any cloudiness. I don’t even think I did anything wrong. After all, someone has to do it.

She is my only hope. My light now is her, not her sun.

I’m willing to accept your resentment and swear words.

I am willing to accept even the hand-to-hand sword.

So, I waited endlessly.

Looking forward to the sun shining on me someday.

How many minutes have passed?

It may have been several hours.

No, it may be a few days, or it may be a few weeks.

A long time has passed.

The heartless time has passed.

As if the pain had become part of my body before I knew it, as if my heart was beating naturally, it came to exist by my side.

The burning pain took the place of the skin, and the pain of suffocation took the place of the intestines.

The pain that is close to death, no, death itself, instead of the air, swirled around me.

Pain is the feeling of sinking in liquid.

What is the sense of endlessly feeling the pain that you want to put aside in your memory and that you don’t want to think about for the rest of your life?

Ha, laughter leaked out.

It’s sad. I even feel resentment at the end. I don’t know where to send my resentment.

Still, I persevered.

Looking forward to the dawn someday.

Looking forward to getting out of this dark fiend and into the sunlight.

That’s how I spent time without a break.

After a long wait.

A sound was heard.

-Awesome!

The sound you hear when you flip through a book quickly. There was the sound of the paper fluttering and falling down with its own weight along with the others.

The ark was different from the sound the paper worms sent out by the devil made.

Somewhere soft and comfortable.

A sound like the sound of waves gently crashing on a sandy beach.

I removed my wings and inspected the inside of the devil’s belly again. Something hasn’t changed yet.

However, the bugs flying around are gone. Then, the sound of the paper came from the front, clearer than before.

-Challenge!

It is like a tsunami, with the same movement and speed as the blue sky to cover the world.

As if a group of whitish insects were flying in, as if the feathers were being blown away by the wind.

The huge, paper stream came slowly towards me.

The pain gradually goes away, and the sound becomes clearer. Vision clears, thinking restarts like a well-oiled machine.

Looking at this, I felt it.

“You did it…”

A faint smile spread across his lips.

Instantly, the paper wave passed me and spread the waves behind me.

The dark interior collapses, and the refreshing smell of water and the blue color of water gradually fill your eyes. The sunlight, which had not been seen for a long time, was dazzling, and the sky, which had been soaked with raindrops, looked brighter as the dark clouds cleared.

The stationery that formed the devil floated upward and embroidered the sky like fragments of a torn cloud.

“Iba Cee!”

A voice from far away, dry and hoarse.

The slight trembling in his voice proved that he was exhausted, and it was also evidence of tears.

I turned my head and looked at where the sound came from.

Layla came running, full of tears.

Kicking her rails made over her water, white stationery like her thousands of doves flew and seemed to bless her.

“I-I did it!!”

Lyla’s tears caught the light and shimmered like precious jewels.

Her waving hand was like a banner of bravery after raising her achievements.

“I, I, hig! I did it, really got rid of the demon…”

I was approaching like that and then I was blown away. The ground is turned off.

To be precise, the rail that was used as a stepping stone was automatically destroyed as the demon disappeared.

“Kyaaah!”

Plop!

I heard the sound of cool water. Drops of water jumped like sparks, and water bubbles melted beneath them with breath.

I also fell under it.

The river she saw at night, adorning herself in red with her streetlights, overlaps it.

A river wide enough to bear the agony of humans in a single drop of water. It is a vast expanse that is too much to capture with both eyes. The river swaying with sunlight like a pretty diamond necklace.

Put your body into the blue that only seems infinite to the human eye.

Again, again.

I took out the Devil’s Evidence to save people.

I spread my wings.

**

The long and long stay on the train is over.

The city has the smell of fishy water and thicker humidity from raindrops.

In addition to this, restoration work for collapsed facilities and treatment and funerals for the casualties remained, and the city still had a gloomy air.

Fortunately, the flood damage was less than expected.

Leila felt that she had been on the train for at least a day, at most, several days, but she said that only three hours had actually passed.

“…So, I was able to come out of the demon.”

“I see…”

Innis wrote down Layla’s remarks and nodded her head.

A method of threatening the demon’s identity itself and destroying it. It was a much more reliable method than subjugation using divine power.

“Very well done. If it hadn’t been for the wits of Mr. Iva and Layla, the village would have been submerged under this river by now.”

It really was. The demon was too close and too fast to use wide-area magic such as 【Sunset】.

If it wasn’t for Lila, she might have had to subdue the demon while taking a lot of damage.

“…Thank you.”

Laila scratched her cheek and shyly thanked her, as if she still felt awkward praising her own achievements.

“Actually, he wouldn’t have been able to do this without Iba-san. Thanks to him, I was able to gain enough magic power.”

To be honest, not only magic power, but the encouragement he gave me made me feel even warmer.

Layla kept those words to herself and didn’t bring them out.

It’s a secret.

A secret that will not come out of your mouth and roll sweetly inside.

Precious words contained in a candy box that you will take out and keep when you are sad and distressed someday.

“…Magic power, you mean?”

“Yes… No, that was an emergency, so I couldn’t help it. Absolutely! It wasn’t obscene…!”

Inis paused as she wrote down her remarks.

Lila blushed as if she remembered what had happened.

It’s about kissing. While taking a first aid lecture at the Witch Academy, I also tried it with her senior, but strangely, her heart pounded.

“…I swear, by no means, that no personal feelings were involved.”

Maybe.

“Yes… I see…”

Innis, suddenly depressed, replied in her low voice.

“I’ve tried it, well, because I’m a best friend, I’ve put my tongue in it, so I won… Yeah, this bar I’m more…”

“Yeah? I didn’t hear that… Can you say it again?”

“Oh, no. I was just talking to myself.”

Innis smiled awkwardly hahahaha.

Layla, unaware of anything, just tilted her head.

“Anyway! You did a great job. Now go in and rest.”

“Yes, Innis-san, thank you for your hard work.”

“Huh, since we’re in the same dorm anyway, we’ll go together, right?”

“I see.”

They got up at the same time.

Lila had some tension with the relief that she could now relax.

Because it was none other than Layla’s intention to enter her room right after this and head to Eva without giving her a break.

I don’t remember right after I fell into the water.

In other words, he chose the option of fainting as soon as his overly fatigued body fell into the water.

Just before being submerged in her river, the last thing she saw was the smile of a boy.

It was a boy’s bright smile that had a faint color and was fleeting as if it would be erased from the world at any moment.

Rather than the color of the deep blue river, that smile made her feel that she had succeeded.

The sight of her ashen hair shaking with water droplets still lingered in my memory.

‘As expected, he has a good face because he’s the senior’s seed…’

Lilia who loves beautiful things. The seed, too, has an unusual beauty.

However, Lila never saw Eva after that.

Including sleeping time, she hasn’t seen him for almost a day.

‘It would be rude to say thank you to a comrade who has passed between life and death!’

She thought so, and Lila vowed to charge into Iva’s room as soon as she returned to the lodging today.

She wants to thank her for helping out there. In addition to that, it is to talk about things that have not been said, what they want to say, and what they do not mean.

She will then go find Lilia. She will be praised for her own achievements while comforting her when she is weary.

She spends the evening with them and goes for a night walk by the river… No. Taking a walk in a city like this isn’t good right now.

So, let’s relax while gazing at the stars together in the room.

“Yes, that’s right!”

“What is that?”

“Huh?! Oh, nothing…”

Lila lowered her head and walked faster on her path. She gradually becomes nervous.

When she sees Iva, what should she say? What expression should she have? How should she look at him. Those thoughts whirled through her head, making her nervous.

Tuk-tuk. Innis tapped her on the shoulder.

“Why do you…?”

“hehehe, look around.”

Lila did as she said and looked around her.

The eyes of the citizens were warm. There was also a lack of respect.

Some shook her hand, and some children lowered her head to say hello.

The eyes of others that remained in her memory were made up of disgust, displeasure, and indifference.

But not now.

An old man met her eyes and lowered her head.

“Thank you… You made this city safe.”

It was the first time I heard it.

To hear a heartfelt thank you, a kind of piety, and a sincere thank you.

I looked around the street. Everyone had feelings not so different from him.

She opened her ears and listened to the sounds in her street.

-Is that the witch who defeated the devil?

-You’re so young… It’s amazing.

-I respect you. How much effort did you put in

-Even look at his face. Eyes like jewels Is it because you’re pretty?

She was not a foolish half-elf in this city, but a hero.

The hero who saved the city from demons.

Her whispered words were indelible and reached her without her filter.

Her unfamiliar praise made her blush.

“Wait, Mr. Layla!”

She walked at a speed that Innis, who was traveling with her, could not catch up with.

The steps gradually become faster and more urgent.

Layla ran out.

I had so many things to say to Iva.

A person who deserves to be loved.

A noble person.

The new meaning given to purple.

After he told me, she really became like that.

I became a witch wearing the colors of the emperor and defeated the devil.

It was as if he had worked a miracle.

Like a person in an old story who gained power by contracting with the devil, she changed after meeting him.

However, the strength he gave was not evil, but encouragement and courage.

All he took in return was to make Layla his hope.

‘Thanks to you.’

As she ran frantically, she found herself standing in front of his door.

‘I am…’

Without even trying to catch my gasping breath.

Lila couldn’t even hide her raised eyebrows.

“Mr. Iba, Mr. Iba…”

Giving her body to the rush of excitement, Lila opened the door as it was.

“Mr. Iba!”

Then,

“…Who, who is that?”

“So Lilia I said… Uh, Lila? No. Wait. This is it, that…”

She saw Eva lying on the bed with her clothes disheveled, and Lilia riding on top of him with her hands tied and grabbed by her forcibly.
