It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains chapter 165

165. Replacement

●

“…I’ve been down all day, Elijah.”

When Falco said that, Trisha, who was sitting across from her reading a book, nodded her head in silence.

The degree to which Elijah shut herself up in her room and cut herself off from the outside world. Because the past few days have been really serious.

It can be said that it is very strange for the attitude he shows after breaking through the first trial of the hero selection test with the highest score.

At least externally, everything that happened in the selection test was kept confidential.

If she wasn’t a woman who could see emotions, it would have been impossible for her to even guess that something big was about to happen inside her.

“…”

Tricia, who hadn’t said anything until now, let out a big sigh at those words.

Of course, all of them know that Elijah’s highs and lows are much worse than expected, unlike her external evaluation, but there is usually only one case where they are so discouraged.

At least as far as she knew.

“Mr. Dowd?”

“…Why is he?”

Falco tilted her head at her question. It seemed that he did not understand Trisha’s intentions, but, like a model student, he seemed to come up with an answer right away.

“I have heard rumors… But.”

“Rumors?”

“That person originally spread bad rumors in the undergraduate school. A dog-mad prostitute.”

“…”

Sadly, there was no way Trisha could deny the rumor itself.

Isn’t it that Elijah himself was covered with bean pods even after knowing that the other person was that kind of person?

“Isn’t it?”

“But…”

She brushed her hair up with a look of great embarrassment at her Falco, who had brought her words up there.

“I heard that he is in the medical unit right now?”

Then the reason why Elijah was so weak must be connected to that.

It was Elijah who openly said that she would ‘protect’ that side. It would be reasonable to infer that if she was in the medical unit, she had failed to protect Daoud at some ‘thing’, though she didn’t know what.

As Tricia thought so and stroked her chin, Falco immediately brought out the next sentence.

“But they say there are at least 10 or so women in front of it.”

“…”

“At the undergraduate level, there are quite a few kids who like it as a chance to finally pay off the karma of that playboy bastard-“

Of course.

It was clear that there was a reason why she checked all sides of her ‘competitors’ all at once, beyond simply not being able to protect that side.

What I’m curious about is, what the hell happened over there so that people who normally would have been face-to-face gathered all at once?

‘…Mr. Dowd.’

Trisha turned her head to look at the duty station building, which was now closed to her.

I don’t know, but it’s probably because something very big is going on inside.

‘What the hell happened?’

●

“…”

“…”

In the hospital room, there was only heavy silence.

Two humans were lying side by side on the bed. One is Yuria Greyhounder. One is Doud Campbell.

“How are you?”

Prime Minister Sullivan opened his mouth in a hard voice.

The saintess and Princess Tristan, who were standing next to her, also gulped dry saliva at those words and seemed to be concentrating on Lord Indra.

‘…What on earth is this guy doing, why are so many people flocking to him at once?’

Those thoughts passed through the head of Sir Indra of the Medical Corps.

There were almost 10 people outside the ward who were curious about the man’s condition, but all of them had been kicked out by Lord Indra of the medical unit for the sake of the patient’s safety.

At least, these are the three humans who have been chosen as representatives.

Sir Indra carefully collected his magic power that he had spread all over him.

“The vital signs of both sides are normal. It means there is nothing wrong with your body.”

“…Then what about the non-body?”

As those questions flew in one after another, Lord Indra shook his head as he shut his mouth.

“When it comes to amnesia… I don’t know the exact reason. However, I do know that there was a very complex process related to the ‘soul’.”

“Fair?”

“For now, the body of this man named Daud is in a state where there is no ‘original soul’. Someone robbed it.”

“…”

At Lord Indra’s words, everyone’s eyes turned to Yuria.

Especially, in Prime Minister Sullivan’s eyes, there was even a blazing hatred.

“Looking at the reactions, everyone seems to be guessing the cause, but that’s right. It’s as if the souls of the two are mingled. The souls of these two are all contained within the body of this student named Yuria.”

In other words.

It’s safe to say that it feels like a white devil is holding on to this man’s soul and not letting go.

Like growling that he would never give it to anyone else.

“But… If you don’t have a soul, isn’t it normal to be a vegetative person who can’t do anything normally? Why is Daoud able to move?”

The soul is a storage device that contains the memory and personality of the target.

Conceptually, the moment it leaves the body, the body will be no different from dead meat, but Daoud moved normally, even though he had memory loss.

How is that possible?

“So, didn’t the elemental body appear at the end of the ordeal?”

“Yes, but… what does that have to do with it?”

“The elemental that attacked this man is now ‘replacing’ his soul.”

Everyone in the room blinked in a daze.

“What the hell?”

“The body is a container for the soul, and even if there is no soul, its ‘nature’ remains. I don’t know what kind of trick this man did in that short moment. At that time, he processed the elemental body into an ‘artificial soul’. Even if you don’t have your own soul, your body can function without difficulty.”

“…”

Everyone in the room fell silent.

If you listen to the story, you will immediately understand that it is a feat that has reached the level of a miracle.

What I don’t understand is how he made that decision in that brief moment, put it into action, and eventually succeeded.

“…A gem is a gem.”

While Prime Minister Sullivan was moaning, Sir Indra spoke again.

“Of course, even such a stunt is a temporary measure in the end. If the soul inside the body of this student named Yuria is not originally breathed into the body, the body will eventually die.”

At the same time as those words came out.

Heavy inside the hospital room

At the same time, a very heavy tension began to linger outside the hospital room-

‘…Why outside?’

Elnor looked at the door of the hospital room with a puzzled expression.

He must have been eavesdropping as if it were quite obvious.

Anyway.

“…Is there a way, Sir Indra?”

At the words Elnor uttered in a somber voice, Sir Indra spoke with a sigh.

“Unfortunately, not right now. While the elemental body replaces this man’s soul, special effects may appear, so it’s probably about being treated as naturally as possible.”

“Influence…?”

“There may be some changes in personality or behavior. More than just losing your memory.”

“Effect?”

“As an artificial soul, you have the ‘knowledge’ you have accumulated, but all of your ‘experience’ is gone, isn’t it? So the resistance will be very low.”

“…What does that mean, that?”

“It’s simple, Prime Minister.”

Sir Indra continued, shaking his head.

“It is said that there is a high possibility that you are in a much more ‘naive’ state than you think.”

“…”

“If someone tries to deceive something, there is a very high possibility that they will be deceived.”

“…”

A silence fell inside and outside the hospital room, enough to make breathing sound louder.

Undoubtedly.

It was a silence like the eve of a storm.

[…Hmmm…]

Caliban Krisanax let out a deep sigh.

It looked like he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

Since this guy came to his senses in the evening, she had managed to somehow talk to her and carry on the conversation.

[…What did you just say?]

Daud Campbell tilted his head.

In his innocently opened eyes, the expression that he didn’t know what the problem was with what he just said was pouring out.

“…I told you I don’t like playboys?”

[…]

“Among the people who touch this woman and that woman, there is no one with a straight head.”

[…]

“I don’t know why you suddenly ask such a topic…”

[…Uh, that’s right. You are right. Sorry.]

Seeing him talking like he was really embarrassed, Caliban replied with a bewildered expression.

‘…Who is this bastard?’

Does losing a memory change your true nature?

Is this the bastard who proudly said in front of the audience that he would live with several women?

“Um… By the way, can I ask you one thing?”

[What?]

“From what you say, you seem to have been close friends with me before you lost your memory. What kind of person was I?”

[…]

“So many people came to the hospital for me, so I guess I was a good person. Is that right?”

[…Uh, that’s…]

“It seems strange that there were only females there… But it’s clear that they are all friends. My school days must have been full of good friends!”

Caliban is the Guardian.

Basically, it means a person who is just and has a good heart.

Telling the truth to an innocent soul who doesn’t know anything right now and asks about her past with sparkling eyes is something she couldn’t bear with that mentality.

[…No, what. Okay. Uh. That’s right…]

“Isn’t that right?”

When Daoud grinned and said that, Caliban closed her mouth, seemingly unable to answer.

It’s twice as embarrassing because the sign that he’s saying that with sincerity, unlike usual, is conveyed desperately.

As he was chewing those feelings into himself, someone knocked on the door to Daud’s hospital room.

“…Isn’t it time for the caregiver to come?”

Daud tilted his head and stood up from the bed as he said that.

It is also quite late in the evening. It wouldn’t be the time for visitors to come. Who are you?

When I opened the door with that thought in mind, there was someone Daoud knew.

“Ah, so, Mr. Elijah…?”

Daud’s voice was half delighted and half puzzled.

I know that he is a grateful person who, when he fell down, jumped up on his back and ran like crazy to the duty station. But why did he come at such a low time and not during regular visiting hours?

That’s what he’s thinking.

Strangely, Elijah, her face red, squeezed Daud’s shoulders.

“…Thank God. I came before the others came.”

“…Mr. Elijah?”

If you look closely, even your breath is strangely sweet.

“…Do you have a fever? I will summon Lord Indra, so please wait a moment.”

[…]

No, I think my eyes turned upside down just thinking about what to do.

As Caliban chewed on the words she couldn’t bear to get out of her mouth, Elijah caught her breath and opened her mouth.

“Teacher, listen carefully.”

“Yes, I will listen.”

In response to the calm answer, Elijah squeezed her chest with a loud, loud voice.

How cute is this guy?

Although she was told by Lord Indra that she would behave this way.

Like this… ‘Innocent’ Daud has a bit more destructive power than I thought.

“…”

Of course.

As much as it is, what she is about to do is hardly humanely right.

At least I can’t lose my players to other girls…!

This is the bare minimum to protect this person from those terrifying women…!

“I’m sure the other guys will continue to talk nonsense. Don’t listen to that. Just listen to me. You know?”

“…Yes?”

“First of all, there is one fact that teachers should know.”

Elijah took a deep breath.

“Teacher and I are actually engaged.”

“…”

Daud’s face went pale.
