79 – Disaster (7)

“I wonder if it would have been right to leave him alone…”

“Oh my, are you worried already how long she fell?”

“Then you shouldn’t worry?”

Lilia’s mother, Monia, looked at herself and her daughter with her benevolent eyes.

Anyway, since we have always been together for a long time, it seems that we are unable to adapt to the situation apart from each other.

I didn’t leave the child alone at some waterside, so to be worried like that. Monia could guess how much Lilia cared for Iva.

“I can’t do it either. Mom. Why don’t you just bring Iva along? Our house doesn’t have anything valuable enough to make you look after it. There aren’t any thieves around here.”

Lilia frantically pulled Monia’s sleeve.

No matter how much she asked to go back, she never imagined that Monia was quite embarrassed.

“Huh? Let’s just bring Iba too~”

Her aegyo was cute, and I was happy to see her daughter’s new look.

But Monia could not fulfill this lovely daughter’s request.

“Hmm… Mom wants to do Lillia’s favor too…”

She crossed her arms and put her finger on her chin, showing a thoughtful reaction, but a firm answer had already been given.

“In the first place, she asked me to look at her house to get away from her… Just to spend some time with my daughter like this!”

Monia hugged Lilia tightly. She almost fell due to the sudden weight on her, but thanks to Monia giving her strength, she did not fall.

“It’s been a while since her mother and daughter met. Wouldn’t they need some alone time?”

She wasn’t so cold that even Lilia, who had been restless until now, would reject her mother’s wide smile. Lilia, who turned her face away from Monia, who was smiling close to her, muttered as if crawling in.

“Go to a cafe with mom! Buy some clothes!”

“…Ah, okay.”

It was difficult for her to adapt to Monia, who is strangely excited unlike herself.

Does she really have a blood relationship with him? Looking at her face, her blood relationship is clear, but this part is different.

Lilia thought so, but she drank and got drunk, and she looked exactly like her mother.

She just didn’t remember that she was volatilized with alcohol in her memory.

She would have snorted if Eva heard it.

“Well, do I have to go back early, okay?”

“So, then. I’m excited to date her daughter after a long time.”

Monia, smiling innocently, hugged her daughter as she walked down the sunny trail.

Her mother’s words about wanting to have time alone with her daughter were true.

Inside it was not just her love for her daughter, but another one.

Monia has felt something while observing her Iba.

She wants to tell this to Lilia, but according to her common sense of monsters, Iva’s senses are quite sensitive.

That’s why she dared to drop Eba to secure time for her mother and daughter alone.

She also happily enjoys time with her real daughter.

When she sees Lilia turning her head in the direction of her house, she feels apologetic, but it’s okay because she’s not going to fall forever.

Aside from herself, the only person Lillia cared for this far was Akera.

But she is also the first person to worry this far.

Anyway, isn’t it a strange master-servant relationship where the master depends on the servant more than the servant depends on the master?

A codependent relationship in which each other depends on the other.

If such a relationship happened between people who were still young…

No matter how much I thought about it, such a relationship couldn’t be healthy.

Monia looked at Lilia worriedly at the chilling imagination.

She was still glancing behind her.

“My daughter… Should have a healthy relationship with people…?”

“? Oh, yes.”

Lilia answered casually as to what she was still interested in.

It was also the correct answer to secure time to have a serious conversation with her daughter.

‘I never thought the situation would be this serious…’

Monia was gradually not able to see their strange master-servant relationship in a healthy light.

Whether her mother doubted herself or not, Lilia still couldn’t calm her mind over her anxiety.

Contrary to Monia’s thoughts, the reason for her anxiety in Lilia was not because of her dependence.

It was a conditioned reflex anxiety formed from her experiences so far.

If Lilia took her eyes off her, she would have a big accident.

He is at my house.

In our house, he, has an accident, and on the same scale as always.

When I think about that, I feel anxious and go crazy.

“Please don’t make any accidents while we are away…”

Like the sound of a butterfly’s wings, the true intentions that were spat out were scattered and disappeared in the wind.

**

“f*ck the kid.”

Eva, taken aback by the sudden loud noise in her head, spat out a small complaint.

She can make a loud noise for no reason and provoke someone who doesn’t know who it is outside.

So Iva suppressed the sound that was about to come out with superhuman patience.

Who wouldn’t be surprised to hear someone talking directly to the brain, not to the ears, when you’re concentrating?

Yiba did not go wild, but was small and quiet. He was proud of himself.

The fortress continues to control its temper often. Frustrated.

This is all because I became a demon.

Because this damn body is a weak piece of meat that can’t win a minute.

《Tell me about the third trial!》

His swear words did not have any effect, and the wise man’s voice rang in his head calmly.

Suppressing his humming head, Eva took control of his heart.

‘Let’s think that everything is good. If it wasn’t for this, I would have already been subjugated by now.’

It’s probably faster to deal with demons that can’t be fixed than to maintain them.

For humanitarian reasons, the existence of a demon is too dangerous to keep alive.

You don’t know when and where it will run out of control, and there are many people who want to deal with it in a much more dangerous way than runaway, and a single mistake causes irreversible damage.

If he had not personally participated in the ordeal and showed no signs of escaping the status quo, he would have already been killed at the Lily Witch Council.

Ordeals are the only way to escape from all these threats to life.

Thinking that way, the arrogant voice of this sage just felt sweet.

‘No, why do I have to rationalize like this?’

Thinking about it, I screwed up.

‘I have to go through all this trouble to meet the wise man because he is so good.’

Do you know everything but don’t know the direct way to yourself?

Even as a sage, she announces the danger of Iba in every dream, and she is looking forward to meeting her as soon as possible.

However, only a small amount of information is provided. The information never really helped her.

‘Knowledge not told is worse than rice that rots in a warehouse…’

I want to know how to get rid of this body as soon as possible.

A voice resounded as if mocking him.

《Have a sense of ownership!》

That was the ordeal at Asphodel this time.

“…What?”

A sense of ownership? About what, who.

Eva’s head was more confused than when the ordeal rumbled through her head just now.

There is no pain now, but more embarrassment covers my body.

“No way… This house?”

Does the guest develop a sense of ownership of someone else’s home?

‘Isn’t that just an asshole?’

Iva admired the viciousness of the ordeal.

But on second thought, there were fewer times when Eva wasn’t a brute.

Well, it was an easier ordeal than I thought.

-Smart

I heard a knock.

Come to think of it, there was someone outside the door.

I forgot.

What is going on in this house?

What brought you to such a rural area?

Eva raised the corner of his mouth.

Asphodel is famous for not having people come and go, but that doesn’t mean people don’t come at all.

After Akera bloomed, tourists often visited.

But it’s too suspicious to have to choose this house to visit and knock on the door.

‘…It could be Morvail.’

To be able to successfully carry out the mission of protecting this house.

Isn’t it a great sense of ownership that you can truly love this house?

Eva accepts her ordeal, this intuition that blooms in her heart.

She approached the door, prepared to kill the man at the door.

But yet, she didn’t open the door.

-Smart

The knock sounded again.

“Is there anyone…In there…?!”

This time, the voice was also together.

Slightly high, youthful, female voice between the age of a child and an adult.

It wasn’t Morve’s voice I had heard before. Since she is a person who controls multiple corpses, she should be able to change her voice or appearance at any time.

As I peeked out of the window earlier, the girls standing outside the door were carrying weapons. One was a sword and the other a long stick wrapped in cloth, which was probably a spear.

“We’re tourists… Give us some water…! We’re going to die of thirst…!”

With Eva still not opening the door, she shouted to everyone else who might be outside.

“I’ve already seen through the window that you guys have weapons! What kind of fool would open the door to those guys!”

At those words, I could feel the noise outside.

If they come in like this, kill them, and if you disarm them, you can continue the conversation.

“…That’s right. Wiz, the people in this house are smart.”

“Asshole… I’m thirsty… Throw down your weapon quickly.”

The sound of heavy metal shaking the ground was heard as if she had decided on her next move after going through a few distances among themselves.

“Now… I threw it, uh hoo, I threw it… Please… Some water…”

Was it an arduous journey?

She begged with a gasp, as if she was thirsty and her stamina was quite low.

Kikkik.

A very small gap opened between the doors.

It was because he opened the door very small.

The gray eyes quickly scanned the two shabby women. When she took it off, she had thrown away the hood she was wearing as well.

It means that he confidently revealed himself.

“…!”

Eva knows one of them.

It wasn’t because of the original knowledge.

If you live in this world, if you live in a civilization among them, he was a person who would never know.

That pink hair, star-like eyes, and a gloomy atmosphere. A platinum sword that fell to the ground. He is wearing a pure white uniform designed based on priestly uniforms.

There was no doubt that he was a candidate for the hero.

‘What the f*ck is a candidate for warrior to do in this poor village?’

It was an Iba that reproduced even the self-help peculiar to the owner who could not have the owner’s consciousness.

If Monia heard it, she would have laughed and passed it on, but if Lilia heard it, she would grab her pod unconditionally, swallowing her words, he grabbed her door handle.

– Bang!

Don’t let it break. The wide closed door created two people who had hopes but then fell into despair.

“Are we… Kicked out…?”

“Doesn’t the person in this house even read the newspaper? It’s not okay to trust someone like this..?!”

“Two idiots out of the house struggling…?”

“That’s right.”

The world is going well these days. The warrior candidate is also running away.

Iba was able to guess their situation from the conversation behind the door.

And soon after, the door opened violently again.

Boom!

Iva, who had an excessive sense of ownership, treated the owner’s house roughly as if it were her own.

“Here is the water.”

At this time or another, I’ll try to speak ill of the warrior. He grabbed a bottle of water and laughed.

“Isn’t there a water bottle you brought? I’ll follow it, so take it as a thank you.”

The warrior candidate took out a water bottle without any change in expression, and the unknown person next to him took out a water bottle with a broad smile.

It’s such a rude tone, but I can see a reaction of disintegration. There’s no fun in looking down on someone taller than you.

Iva sighed and approached the red girl who was nearby.

“?”

“What’s wrong? What did you put on my face?”

Familiar.

Slightly tanned skin was full of health, and golden eyes shone like stars like a candidate for a hero.

Ah, I wondered where I saw it.

Is this the second hero candidate that has just appeared this time?

The person who used to be the childhood friend of the hero candidate.

Somehow, that’s why I’m used to it.

It is said that a strange sense of closeness and stability arises from a person he has never met before, and this is probably the reason.

Maybe.

Eva looked at her again. As she ran her hand through the sweat that rained down her chin, she looked at her hopeful eyes.

It was burdensome.

In the first place, she did not appear in the original story.

The biggest irregular along with Morbei and Iba.

Compared to Morve, who may have been dealt with without appearing in the original Ivana, whose source is certain, she is an even more deformed existence.

Because the hero candidate was originally a loner. It was because Cheon-ae, an orphan who had no friends or family, was immediately seen after becoming a hero.

Then, who is this person right in front of you?

Once again, Eva showed her vigilance sharply.

“Take it and go away.”

“Yes. I’ll take it and leave.”

She poured the water nervously. She looked at the water with a smile, not at all displeased. Her eyes were wet with joy.

“Oh… Just a little bit more… A little more… More… More… More… Uh okay.”

“What kind of drink do you want?”

The childhood friend of a candidate for the hero isn’t for everyone. A very special friend.

Afterwards, she poured water on the first candidate as well, then shook her hand and drove her away.

Before she was kicked out, her candidate’s face was frowning in anguish, but when her second left first, she followed him and moved her feet.

I used it as if it were my own home, and consumed the water inside.

The ordeal did not sound the voice of passing.

I guess it wasn’t the owner’s consciousness of this house.

“Ehh…”

When will this ordeal end?

“I took the risk of even giving water to a candidate for bravery…”

The situation earlier was extremely dangerous for him.

I faced it with the mindset of going through the ordeal.

Oh, I thought it was too much.

**

“What?”

The red-haired girl looked at Wiz like a crazy person. I had been distracted from drinking water until earlier, but after hearing her words, I lost my mind again.

“I thought it was just the thirsty feeling in my stomach… It wasn’t…”

She continued, fiddling with the pommel part of her holy sword hanging from her waist. His tone was still weak and sullen, but he could sense the intention of certainty.

“The person who was in that house earlier…”

Wiz has many abilities. One of them was to be able to feel demonic energy through the senses.

“It’s the devil.”

That’s why, even while Saya was dizzy from thirst, such determination was possible.

The red-haired girl stopped her steps and tapped her on the shoulder with her spear.

“So? What are you going to do? Should I go back now?”

“No…”

Eyes shining like dead stars turned miserably toward the ground. Then she shook her head to express denial.

“Today… I gave you water… Help me…”

She decided to make the person who gave her water her benefactor, so Wiz was going to save Eva who gave her water for today.

The star-like eyes turned to the red-haired girl.

“I will… What will you… Stella?”

The girl called Stella lazily crossed her arms behind her back and rested her head.

“Umm~ What should I do?”

Bounce her feet in a cute way and walk in front of her with only steps without any worries.

Then a stone caught in her foot.

She gave her strength and flew upward.

The pebbles fired like bullets soared as if they would pierce the sky. Its trajectory was infinitely vertical.

The stone, which floated in the air for a few seconds, soon descended back to the bosom of its mother, the earth.

Took

The sound made by a stone hitting the ground.

It came right in front of Stella.

“God said to go forward!”

After shouting that, Stella smiled and moved in front of her.

Anyway, hunting demons was a secondary goal. There is no need to rush.

The warrior candidate left the demon behind and headed towards the village.

He did injustice to repay the favor.

Ignoring the mission assigned to you also requires great determination.

This is also courage.

They could literally be called warrior candidates.
