The Heroine of the 1st Playthrough Remembers My Training.

Episode 174: The Incurable Disease Is An Incurable Disease… (3)

She didn’t think so herelf, but Lilith lacked awareness.

And it was quite serious.

‘Ah…’

Even Lilith realized she had bad timing this time.

Bianca and Vivian, crying their eyes out, and the teacher, with a contorted face.

No matter how you looked at it, this was not a situation to intrude upon.

“New… come to think of it, I don’t feel that sorry for Lilith…”

“Lilith!”

Just as she was about to leave, her teacher grabbed her wrist.

‘T… Teacher, no way in this situation…!’

She knew how great her teacher’s sexual desire was, but she didn’t expect him to be aroused in this situation.

“…T… Teacher… n… now… it’s… it’s fine. I… I’ll come back later.”

To be honest, just having her wrist grabbed was enough to overflow with love juice to the limit.

But even so, having sex in front of those two who were crying seemed very wrong as a saint… no, as a human being.

Then the teacher shook his head and said,

“It’s not like that. Saint, Bianca is… in pain.”

“…What? Where are you going?”

“I don’t know… But from what Bianca said, it seems her life is in danger.”

At that moment, Lilith’s previously dazed eyes sharpened.

The day Lilith awakened her powers.

Under the statue of the goddess, Lilith made a vow.

Even if she couldn’t reach out to save everyone like the light bestowed by the goddess, she would save anyone she could within her reach.

“You should have told me that first.”

Lilith, who seemed to be trembling just moments ago, walked confidently into the room.

“D… don’t do anything unnecessary.”

As Lilith approached, Bianca stepped back.

She was scared.

Scared of hearing from the saint that she couldn’t be healed.

“Don’t worry.”

At that moment, Lilith gently hugged Bianca and whispered,

“…It’ll be over soon.”

Whoosh—

Lilith poured out her healing power with her eyes closed.

After concentrating for a while, Lilith opened her eyes and tilted her head.

“…Umm… there’s nothing wrong with Bianca’s body?”

When you channelled healing energy, it naturally flowed to the wounds or diseased areas.

…But now, except for a slight scratch, there was no injury on Bianca’s body.

“Hic… I knew it… I told you… it’s useless…”

Tears dripped from Bianca’s eyes as she heard the saint’s words.

On that day when she almost got cut in half, even in her fading consciousness, Bianca could feel it.

The immense magical power of Lilith enveloping her dying self.

If even that amount of magic couldn’t heal her then, how could she suddenly recover now?

“This is an injury even a saint can’t heal!”

“…I, Lilith, was the top student at Parthenon… There hasn’t been an injury I couldn’t heal so far…”

“…Then what am I!”

Bianca cried out.

“I couldn’t even figure out what’s wrong, let alone heal it!”

At Bianca’s scream, Lilith fell silent.

In fact, even for Lilith, healing wounds corrupted by dark magic like Bianca’s was unprecedented.

Hadn’t she warned Bianca about possible side effects?

“…Bianca, calm down a bit and explain your symptoms…”

“Explain? Fine! It’s like my insides are being cut up by a knife and I’m bleeding! But… is this normal? Don’t make me laugh!!”

“…Bianca.”

“…No way… if it were such a severe injury causing bleeding, I wouldn’t miss it…”

Upon hearing Bianca’s words, Yujin’s expression was filled with anger and self-loathing, and Lilith was shocked beyond belief.

At that moment, only one person.

Only Vivian thought in a different direction.

‘…Sister… could it be…?’

Something that any normal woman would experience.

Rather, it was Bianca who was abnormal for not having experienced it until now.

If the recent sharpness in her sister’s temperament was not just the fear of death but a symptom of this precursor, it would make sense.

The more Vivian thought about it, the more the puzzle pieces fit together, and sweat dripped down her forehead.

Of course, if her guess was correct, this would be something to celebrate for her sister.

Although she never said it, Vivian knew how much her sister had suffered.

But…

“Give up now! Don’t give me false hope! I’ll sort out my feelings!”

“Bianca… don’t say that. I’ll find a way somehow… please…”

“…Stop… stop…”

‘Sister, stop too!!’

In this serious atmosphere, Vivian couldn’t bring herself to speak.

Vivian inwardly screamed and turned to look at Lilith.

“…I… I’ll look again…”

She couldn’t understand why neither Yujin nor her sister could grasp this, even after hearing the explanation.

“…Saint?”

“…Vivian.”

“Doesn’t anything come to mind after hearing what my sister said?”

“No… there are too many things. That’s the problem. ….I couldn’t find any matching symptoms inside Bianca’s body right now.”

Of course, she wouldn’t find any.

If this were diagnosed as a disease, half of humanity would be sick.

“Saint, can I have a word with you…”

Vivian whispered her hypothesis to Lilith as she approached.

“Ah…! I… I didn’t think of that! Bianca…”

“Wa… wait a moment, Saint. Just in case… I might be wrong, so let’s check first before we say anything.”

She thought there was no need to check, but she spoke to give her sister time to prepare mentally.

‘Prepare the binding spell…’

Vivian shook her head.

This was not just a level of embarrassment one could bear.

If she were in her sister’s shoes?

Vivian was confident she’d throw herself out the window right away.

“That’s right! I, Lilith, will check!”

Vivian carefully watched Lilith approach her sister.

“Hic… Yu… Yujin… I… I’m scared…”

“Don’t worry, Bianca. I’m here with you.”

Seeing her sister still crying in Yujin’s arms, Vivian felt her hands and feet curl up in embarrassment.

“Ms. Bianca.”

“Wh… why are you calling me?”

“Please follow me for a moment.”

“…No… I won’t go.”

“There’s something I need to check! Hurry!”

“…Saint, now is not the time…”

As I tried to stop Lilith, I felt an intense gaze.

‘Vivian?’

Following the gaze, Vivian was shaking her head vigorously, signaling not to interfere, with an expression she’d never seen before.

‘…Why?’

Although I couldn’t understand, I let go of Bianca as Vivian instructed, and Lilith took her to the bathroom.

Then, from inside the bathroom, a voice was heard.

“…Why did you bring me to the bathroom?”

“Ms. Bianca, please stay still.”

“Hic!.. Wh… what!… Why… why… are you doing this suddenly…”

“I told you to stay still!”

“Hngh! Ha… how can I… stay still like this!”

Bianca’s moans echoed from inside, revealing what was happening.

“Phew… I suspected it, but now it’s clear!”

“So what’s clear!”

“The thing is, Ms. Bianca…”

Just as she was about to say something important, Lilith’s voice suddenly lowered, and I couldn’t hear properly.

“…No… no… way!! My body is fixed in childhood, so I don’t do such things!!”

“Side effects are usually physical aging. If your body was fixed in an immature state and then grew…”

“…Is that really it?”

“Yes! That’s really it!”

Shortly after, Bianca came out of the bathroom with a bright red face.

“….”

“Bianca?”

“….”

“What’s wrong, Bianca? What did the Saint say?”

“….”

“Bianca! Say something!”

No matter how much I called or shouted, Bianca gave no response.

Then, from behind Bianca, Lilith jumped up and said,

“Ms. Bianca had her first period!”

“Sh… shut… up!!”

“Ms. Bianca, don’t say bad things! Periods are not something to be ashamed of! It’s a blessing that means you can get pregnant! In the Asran Empire, they eat red bean rice to celebrate the first period!”

“Alright, so shut up!”

“….”

At Lilith’s words, I stared at Bianca with my mouth agape.

Of course, Bianca was dying of embarrassment, but I was just as embarrassed.

‘Crazy bastard…’

I covered my face with both hands and sat on the bed.

─I received the letter, but there’s no way I’ll read it.

─I will find a way to save her by any means necessary.

─Don’t worry, Bianca. I’m here with you.

Did I make a vow to cure Bianca’s period cramps with the determination to die?

‘…Fuck!!’

For the next ten years, I would kick my blanket thinking about this day.

Then, Bianca spoke with a trembling voice.

“…Yu… Yujin, you said you’d… heal me…”

“Bi…anca?”

“I… I knew it was my period. You… you… acting like that… I… I found it really funny.”

It was shocking.

Bianca, of all people, was mocking me.

Why?

‘To escape this hell of shame by sacrificing me…’

Because humans felt their strength when attacking the weak.

…But. Bianca made a choice she shouldn’t have.

“…Ha… how… could you fall for such a… trick…?

Swish─

Amidst Bianca’s teasing, I silently took out the letter.
