I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess chapter 85

85 – Guardian (4)

A night with the moon rising in a clear sky.

The beasts that were supposed to be fierce fell asleep as if dead, and a bonfire burned with a leisurely sound inside the cave.

Shadows that had not yet fallen asleep swayed along with the flickering fire.

Nezra entered the cave.

A slight glance. The owner of the shadow was a young-looking boy.

Boy. Eric was sitting among the demon beasts, playing with his hands as if nothing had happened.

Eric turned around as Nezra made a show of her popularity.

A high-pitched boy’s unique voice rang out.

“The angel was very angry.”

“Really? “What are you angry about?”

“He said that he took many of his angel friends but did not do his job. They are yelling for me to explain quickly. “My friends were also very angry.”

“Hmm, it looks like that.”

Nezra narrowed her brows.

Something like a black silhouette was wandering around inside the cave.

Spirits with terrible malice. Things that could rightly be called evil spirits let out maniacal laughter.

Nezra didn’t like those things.

I originally didn’t like supernatural abilities, but wasn’t that quite a unique form among supernatural abilities?

Eric’s powers were specialized only in controlling and materializing evil spirits.

It is not your own power, but a special ability that borrows the power of others.

It was a power that was difficult for Nezra, who pursued martial arts, to acknowledge.

However, she did not refute that it was an effective means.

“Even if that wasn’t the case, I had a lot to say. “I’d like to speak to Decarabia directly, would you mind, boy?”

“…… Yes. Even the angel gave permission.”

Soon, Eric’s mood changed.

The immaturity that he couldn’t hide even when he pretended to be an adult completely disappeared, and I could feel the traces of time worn out in his eyes.

There wasn’t even a drop of emotion left on the boy’s face, like a desert.

“Explain, Nezra.”

Nez Ra narrowed her eyes.

“Please explain. “What do you mean?”

“Why didn’t you kill Baron Isquente? “There would have been ample opportunity.”

“I was interrupted. Well, personally, it was a fun time. “That guy called the Beast Sword is a lot more interesting than I expected.”

“That can’t be possible. “With your skills, you would have been able to kill the Baron and escape, right?”

The evil spirits growled fiercely.

When she looked at those evil spirits called Nezu, she couldn’t help but think that they were like well-trained hunting dogs.

She’s got her mouth plugged now, but she’ll put her teeth in whenever Deka Ravia orders.

Nezra was quite funny. The only thing she became when she died was a livestock.

Are there any dead people in the world more uglier than those?

The demon laughed coldly.

“There’s a lot of talk today. “You seem quite nervous.”

“It is a legitimate protest. This is clearly a violation of contract. If you keep coming out like this…… “

“From there, you’d better choose your words carefully, Decaravia. “There are no beggars here who will die in her place if you lose her host.”

“That’s cocky.”

Boy. Now, for the first time, I could see emotion in Decaravia’s eyes.

It was anger. The evil spirits wriggled, and Decaravia’s magic power was overlaid on Eric’s magic power.

Nezra’s eyebrows twitched.

Control has increased since last time.

Previously, even if he occupied the body of a boy, he could not easily control evil spirits.

Does this mean that it has gradually adapted to the human body? That thing too will soon become a monster.

“I came because I heard that they would let us fight as much as we wanted instead of the West, which was tired of peace. But you’ve already spent quite a bit of time hiding. Don’t you feel like it’s a waste of time?”

“Instead, sufficient compensation has already been paid. You must fulfill your contract. I’ll ask you again, Nezra. “Why didn’t you kill Baron Isquente?”

It’s annoying. Nezra sighed inwardly.

There was no favoritism towards Baron Isquente. The method of using magic was interesting, but that’s it. Originally, I wouldn’t have kept him alive.

However, the story of the deadly sword was different. The battle with that swordsman was so enjoyable that I even gave up on my mission.

Moreover, Nezra decided to respect him.

In a fight between two people, killing the other and running away was not respect.

Anyway, if you kill someone, won’t you be able to do it later in a better place and have more fun?

Still, I think I need to say something.

If there is a story that would work for Decarabia, it would be something like this.

“Well, I admit that I enjoyed the entertainment for a while. However, it is also true that a vicious sword intervened. The evil sword was stronger than you expected. “If I had proceeded unreasonably in that situation, traces would have been left behind.”

“It’s a trace…… Are you sure? A person as strong as you?”

“Of course. “Do you really think I would tell a lie to the prosecutor?”

“Tsk. If so, great. Let’s skip it this time. I did not warn you about the involvement of the swordsman, so I will admit that there were variables. But next time, I’d like to expect things to be handled without any fuss.”

“Yes, yes.”

Nezra answered indifferently.

Actually, he didn’t know what happened to the North, but the two demons still needed each other.

To create a solo stage with a vicious sword named Nezu.

And Decarabia is to break the terrible balance of the North.

“You said you wanted to fight, so there will be an opportunity sooner or later. That must be good news for you.”

[Sirien Ilencia]

The Baron was sent away first.

It was a patient in need of recovery, and there was nothing more to talk about.

He said there was no need to meet him. She probably wanted to organize her thoughts, so I allowed her to be alone.

It was something I had to say at some point anyway.

Although the timing was somewhat advanced, I was waiting for the right time.

It wasn’t that bad.

However, I felt very depressed. Should I say it’s gloomy?

I’ve dug up too many bad memories…… No, it’s probably just because I’m so tired.

It was a hard day. We almost lost too many people there.

I thought the death of others would no longer be bitter.

I thought I had drawn a line and was keeping it well, but it turns out that wasn’t necessarily the case.

The death of knowledgeable people still hurt.

I need to get rid of this kind of weak heart as soon as possible.

I decided not to get hurt just because I lost a few people, so I have to be more ruthless and cold.

My heart is still not strong.

“Sirien. Are you sick? “My complexion is not good.”

“No, it’s okay. “It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Razen’s hand suddenly rested on my shoulder.

It’s so easy for a girl like me to feel excited even with just such a small hand gesture.

The person who needs to be comforted now is you, not me.

Without realizing it, I was putting my hand on Rajen’s hand.

Hands that feel a little rough and a little hard. Nevertheless, warm hands that resemble your heart,

It seemed as if my depressed heart was slowly melting away.

So, what I just said wasn’t a lie.

Thanks to you, I’m all healed, so I really don’t have any pain anymore.

Now I want to take care of your wounds.

“Razen, what about you? Sorry. It’s not someone else’s business, it’s your parents’ business…… “I had to create an opportunity somehow.”

“I said it was done. Don’t think that way. That person is not someone I would be happy to have revenge on. “Even if he had chased me back then, I’m sure he would have been scolded.”

“Are you mad?”

“I learned from my father that a knight is someone who protects. If I had thrown it all away and chased after it, I wouldn’t have heard anything good. There will be better days later.”

“But your heart can still be bitter.”

“It’s really okay…… “

It’s noisy.

You’re an idiot so you don’t know whether you’re sick or not.

I pulled Rajen into a hug. I felt hot breath on her chest.

I placed my cheek on Rajen’s head. At first there was some resistance, as if it was trying to get out, but it soon calmed down as I didn’t let it go.

“Good boy, let’s stay like this for a while.”

“Sirien? This is…… “

“Quiet. “Rest in peace.”

A fool who knows nothing about the human heart.

A fool who doesn’t even understand his own feelings.

If you didn’t notice even though I showed it off like that, there’s no way you would know that it was your feelings.

It was like that in that cabin too.

Other people may not know, but I know. Even if you don’t know.

You said you were really fine, but your steps were heavier than usual.

My eyes were weak, and my voice wavered slightly at the ends.

If my heart hasn’t become strong yet, you must have been born with a very strong heart.

“I told you, right? When I’m having a hard time, I hope you do this too. That feeling is still the same. “Let’s hug each other when we’re having a hard time.”

I’m sorry that this is all I can do.

You are always the top priority for me. I want to protect your heart as much as you protect me.

Since I couldn’t protect you this time, I’ll at least heal you.

“What’s wrong? “Where are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“No, it’s nothing…… ,”

As she was hugging her tightly, Rajen moved his head as if he was uncomfortable.

I can’t run away yet. I put Rajen deeper into my arms.

Burying his face in my chest. At that distance, would you be able to hear my heartbeat?

That’s a little embarrassing. When you hear the pounding sound, it seems like your whole heart is lifted.

I should be okay since I was caught a while ago, but I guess I don’t know everything about myself.

As I was looking at it like that, I could see Rajen’s ears.

I had the urge to put my mouth to hers, but this time I decided to hold back.

Instead, he whispered softly in my ear.

“I love you.”
