“Darkhan. This is Kaniel.”

“Come in.”

A middle-aged man wearing a monocle carefully opens the door and enters after hearing the old man’s words.

He entered the room and bowed his head to the chairman.

“Yes. What brings you here?”

“I came here because of information about student Cain von Barad.”

“Ah. That’s right.”

Darkhan nodded several times as if he remembered.

Cain von Barad.

It was one of the things Hera had warned about before.

A student who fell into the trap of the Demon Tribe and turned into a black magician, causing a lot of damage.

Hera had told Kaniel to be on guard against him, as she had intended.

“Yeah. Is there anything suspicious?”

“Chairman, there is no student named Cain in our academy.”

“Hmm..?”

One of Darkhan’s eyebrows rose at the unexpected answer.

“So I did some more research. Luckily, I had the last name so it was easy to find. However…….”

Kaniel took a piece of paper out of his bosom and placed it on Darkan’s desk.

“I think you should see it once.”

At Kaniel’s words, Darkhan picked up the document and examined its contents closely.

As Darkhan’s eyes descended while reading the documents, his face began to frown slightly.

“……This is.”

I think I need to talk to Hera.

* * *

Dark alley.

Lily’s amethyst eyes glowed eerily.

“What are you two…doing…?

“Hi.”

My body instinctively hiccupped as it sensed fear.

Robin, who was next to him, also sensed that something was wrong and was shedding a drop of cold sweat.

Lily’s eyes are calm yet intense at the same time, like the eye of a storm.

‘Ugh… we’re in big trouble…’

I know, having lived with Lily.

Those eyes. Those are the eyes that appear whenever Lily is truly angry. They are the eyes that are about to explode.

I had to calm him down somehow.

I tried to calm my trembling body and call Lily.

but-

“Why are you two so close together?”

“Hyak?!”

I instinctively hid behind Robin at the sound of his voice, which sounded like it was coming from a thousand-year-old grudge. No, it was even more eerie.

Cadduk-

Then, once again, a strange sound was heard from Lily’s side.

I calm my trembling heart and peek my head out to look at Lily.

She held out her hand to me with a cold smile.

“Come here, Sarah.”

“….uh…uh.”

Honestly, I didn’t want to go.

No. I was scared.

The murderous aura surrounding her was so fierce that it seemed as if she would devour me at any moment.

But my instincts were telling me.

If I don’t go to Lily now, something truly irreversible will happen.

…gulp.

Finally, I took heavy steps.

He approached Lily one step at a time, his steps weak and weary, like a condemned man being put on death row.

As I approached Lily, she grabbed my arm and pulled me behind her, then looked at Robin with a murderous look.

“What did you two talk about?”

I opened my mouth hurriedly to intercept Robin’s answer, fearing that he might answer incorrectly.

“Oh… I didn’t say anything important!! I just asked if you were okay about the injury you got when you fell last time. Right, Robin? ”

I looked at Robin earnestly. He nodded his head several times in bewilderment.

Lily, who had been looking at Robin like that for a while, turned her gloomy gaze towards me.

I started hiccuping again.

“Why are you worrying about that?”

“Huh…? Well…you got hurt while sparring with me..?”

“……”

Lily’s body began to tremble as she stared at me with her empty eyes for a long time.

Lily must have sensed that I was scared. She clicked her tongue once and grabbed my arm to lead me outside.

‘That’s…thank goodness…’

It wasn’t completely resolved, but I thought I could get through it.

I followed Lily’s lead and walked out of the alley.

Just when you think everything has ended safely.

“Sarah. Then will you do it next time?”

Towering-

As if the electricity had suddenly gone out of the machine, Lily stopped walking at Robin’s words.

“……What?”

In Lily’s eyes as she spoke, there was a murderous intent that I had never seen before.

“What is Sarah…doing…?”

Robin answered with a bewildered expression at Lily’s murderous voice.

“I was talking about the sparring…”

“…….”

Lily’s eyes softened at Robin’s words.

Lily looked at Robin for a long time.

He quickly walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar.

“Lily..Lily?!”

I was startled by Lily’s actions and hurriedly tried to stop her, but her body was firmly fixed to the floor as if it were a mountain.

‘What..what power..’

While I fidgeted behind her, Lily looked at Robin and growled.

“I’ll spar with you as much as you want. From now on, don’t ever come near Sarah.”

“..I don’t mind if it’s a duel between strong people…”

After hearing his answer, Lily turned around and grabbed me and led me away.

Time passed like that.

In the alley where Lily and I disappeared.

“…I’m embarrassed.”

Robin muttered to himself with a bewildered expression.

* * *

Class should have started a long time ago.

Despite that, Lily continued to hold on to me and walk away somewhere.

“Lily..Lily..Wait..”

“….”

“A little bit slower..”

“…..”

“Lily..! My hand..hurts..!”

Towering-

Lily only stops walking when I let out a shallow groan.

Lily turned around and looked at my hand for a moment, then said in a voice full of emotion.

“….Do you like Robin?”

Her words made me think, “Oh, my gosh, I’ve come.”

‘….I didn’t know I liked Robin this much.’

Lily showing her emotions like this. It must be because she’s jealous.

Even in the original, Lily was a character who showed strong obsession.

I misunderstood when I saw Robin and I alone together.

To be honest, I felt a little wronged, but… I had nothing to say since it was my fault for getting caught.

“Lily…”

Let me speak in a pitiful voice. Lily spoke to me in a low voice with dead eyes.

“Do you like Robin too? Is that so?”

“…..No..”

“Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. ”

I felt an inexplicable chill at Lily’s eerie muttering.

“Eight..”

Breaking through the scary energy that was engulfing my body.

Without hesitation, I pulled her into my arms.

“…Huh…?”

Then Lily opened her eyes wide and looked puzzled.

“Lily. I don’t care about Robin.”

The hug worked. Lily was looking at me with her eyes that had regained their sense of reason.

“….Then why did you ask about my ideal type…?”

ah.

..Did you even hear what I said?

As I hesitated to answer, Lily’s gaze began to sink again.

“That..That’s..! It just so happened..”

When I couldn’t answer properly

The atmosphere around Lily began to become gloomy again.

I hurriedly opened my mouth and continued to persuade her.

“Lily…Lily…! Trust me. I don’t like Robin.”

I did it for you..!!

“…..”

Lily looked at me without answering. I pressed my body closer to her and asked her again.

This time in a slightly hoarse voice.

“Lee..Lily..Trust me just once..Okay?”

“Ugh..”

When I looked at her with longing eyes, Lily blushed slightly and looked embarrassed.

So, after a while, their eyes exchanged glances.

“…I’ll believe you just this once.”

With a short sigh, Lily grabbed my waist and pulled me closer.

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

‘….I’m so glad..’

I almost lost touch with Lily before I could even start anything.

I want to fulfill Lily’s love. I never wanted to be the object of her restraint.

“Lily.”

“….?”

Lily looked at me with a puzzled expression, wondering why I was smiling so confidently.

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I should get back to work.

It was time to use the advanced information I had gained by risking my life.

The grand plan to connect Robin and Lily.

First, we found out Robin’s ideal type.

The second is training for it.

First of all, we need to do something about the biggest problem: cooking.

“What are you doing after class today?”

Lily answered quickly, her eyes wide open.

“Ah..there’s nothing.”

“That’s good.”

“Why?”

Lily’s expression seemed to be expecting something.

I smiled brightly at her.

“Want to come to my room today?”

“……What?”

At my words, Lily’s eyes began to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.

She stared blankly at me for a moment, then answered in a trembling voice.

“You…to your room?”

“Yeah.”

First of all, the cooking that she lacked. I planned to fill that gap first.

Fortunately, the dormitory is equipped with furniture for basic cooking. Even if I can’t cook fancy meals, I can teach you to some extent.

I didn’t have much time, but I thought I could at least learn how to cook perfectly.

“Let’s go.”

With a red face for some reason, Lily took my hand and said.

I smiled as I held her hand.

“Okay. Then let’s go home together.”

In such a friendly atmosphere, something Robin had said before suddenly came to mind.

He said he likes a kind woman.

Lily was really kind and pretty, but it was a bit ambiguous to say that she was kind.

Because being kind and being gentle are slightly different things.

But Lily is kind, so if she practices, she will soon become gentle.

I thought it would be a good idea to practice on my friend first, so I looked at Lily and opened my mouth.

“Lily and you know..”

“Yeah. Sarah.”

This time, Lily answers right away.

“When you come to my dorm later.”

“Yeah.”

I spoke to her cautiously, in a requesting tone.

“I wish you would treat me kindly.”

“Uh…uh..?”

“Treat me kindly, Lily.”

“……”

Despite my earnest request, there was no reply for a while.

…I’m a little embarrassed…

When I raised my head, I heard no answer.

Lily’s face, red as a beet, came into view.

“S…kindly….”

She mutters in a voice as small as a rat’s tail.

I felt strange towards her like that.

Lily…where does it hurt..?

You shouldn’t get sick.
