“Follow me.”
Fortunately, Ritt’s actions were swift.
Hurry up and follow me, ’cause I’m getting dizzy
I took a deep breath and walked out of the dump.
‘This is Yasuji.’
As the fresh air enters deep into the lungs, the mind seems to be cleared.
The clean magic on the uniform removed the remaining odor.
seems to live
I hurried my steps and headed to the professor’s office.
You can see Ritt’s head bowed down from behind.
‘No, why is he doing this to trouble people?’
Doesn’t it look like a vicious professor who is dragging his assistants to stir-fry?
It’s a shameful misunderstanding
Already, because of the practice, all the public’s attention is focused on it.
No more negative public opinion can be created here.
“Raise your head, Lit.”
People are staring at you, man. Impress yourself a bit. are you going to die are you going to die?
[‘Lit”s favorability is slightly increased. +5]
huh? Why is this up again?
* * *
“Follow me.”
At the words of Lucas with an irresistible dignity, Lit got up and followed him.
I followed him once, but I keep bowing my head in a sense of guilt for some reason.
I am also worried about the bright future.
When this step is over, I will die.
Lucas, who easily dealt with the powerful Levi, wouldn’t he kill him without pain? No, I still want to live.
There is no way to hide the infinitely depressed heart.
“Raise your head, Lit.”
“… … .”
At that moment, Lucas’ resolute voice pierced his ears.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Lucas.
He still hadn’t given any eyes to this side, but his back evoked a strange sense of reassurance. While heading to the office, a lot of people’s eyes poured in. It felt like everyone was blaming him, just like when his brother died. As his gaze was about to go down again, Lucas’ voice was heard again.
“Look ahead and walk. You are not guilty.”

Mind… … became lighter
After walking for a while in a dazed state, I came to Lucas’ office before I came to my senses.
thud-!
The door to the office slammed shut with a heavy sound. Fear struck again.
“Sit down.”
Lit sat quietly.
“Give me a chance to make an excuse.”
Lit’s heart seemed to thump at Lucas’ words.
Yes, I am not completely innocent.
I am a spy between Lucas and the Asmodians.
It served as a report on his every move, and reported information that Lucas’ training took place in ＜Kylon Pavilion> for five days.
Because of his report, such a four-month period was born.
He is not without sin.
I knew it well. But, for some reason, I started to cry.
Lit lowered her head and began to weep.
* * *
‘Oh, why are you crying?’
I started as a light joke because I was afraid that people would be burdened because of me while I was coming here, but this guy is crying.

My jokes are touching… … it wouldn’t have been
Oh, to be honest, it’s negligence to show up after practice.
But since I’m a very kind professor, I used humor to open the conversation while moving on smoothly, but it’s counterproductive.
‘My jokes don’t work for this guy.’
That was my conclusion.
There seems to be a tendency to take the world a little more seriously.
Again, he carefully opened his mouth.
“Don’t cry.”
Do you squeeze because the guy was playing a little prank, or squeeze it out?
He also gave me a handkerchief and kindly told me not to cry, giving me my own comfort.
“I’m sorry, Professor. really sorry.”
“done. I didn’t mean to rebuke you.”
“Hmm!”
He stopped crying and looked at me.
Uh-huh, look at that handkerchief with a runny nose.
But if I pointed this out, I might burst into tears again, so I held it in.
“So, I washed the handkerchief… … .”
“done. Take it.”
“yes? However… … .”
I open my eyes wide and take turns looking at the handkerchief and myself.
No, why are you returning the dirty nose? I don’t like to suck
“The handkerchief is now yours.”
In an instant, Ritt’s face visibly opened up. At the same time-
[‘Lit”s favorability has increased significantly. +40]
Cha-am is an unknown demon.
Does receiving a handkerchief increase your favorability?
Still, it’s better than growing hostility.
But this is not the end.
[Favorability has exceeded 100.]
[The ＜Nurture> system has been opened.]
no, what is this
—
▶Nurture
You can increase or increase loyalty by investing stats only for those who have more than 100 favorability.
The good for growth is the excessive favorability of the target, and once invested, the points do not disappear even if the favorability decreases.

For a moment, I doubted my eyes.
What is this?
Upbringing?
Does this damn game, even a pet system exist?
Of course, there is a clear difference, but by any means, this is not a pet system.
Fortunately, it is not a paid product for growth.
[Items that increase favorability can be purchased at the Gold Shop.]
… … would say
Anyway, that’s just an option, and the favorability itself can be raised depending on how hard you try.
In other words, the importance of sympathetic works is raised once again.
‘Then can I see pet information?’
At the same time as I thought, a new notification window appeared, revealing the information of ‘Lit’.

For a moment, I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes.
The name Lilith is clearly written in the name field.
And information about the mixed blood of the Hmongma and the Baron.
As far as I know, there is only one such demon in my worldview.
‘The Queen of Dreams, Lilith.’
The strongest queen in the history of the Hmongma people.
A queen with strong leadership that achieves the unity of the Baron and the Hmongma tribe.
That’s a demon called Lilith.
I don’t know why Lilith evolved into Lilith, but that’s not what’s important.
“Lit.”
“Yes, Professor… … .”
In answer to the call, Ritt’s face turns red as if it’s about to explode.
If you didn’t know its identity, you could think of why the bastard is doing this disgustingly.
However, now I know that she is Lilith.
she… … I know you’re a noble
The baron has a habit of courting the opposite sex by giving the object that has the smell of his own body.
Accepting it means accepting the proposal.
In other words, I had proposed to that demon without my knowledge.
‘Oh fuck.’
I’m making my first proposal to the demons this.
Life is so… … write.

Lilith, that is, Lilith, has no way to hide her pounding heart.
‘Huh, why am I doing this?’
His face heats up in a hurry, and his heartbeat is getting bigger and bigger.
‘The professor gave it to me without meaning. Wake.’
Lucas will not know the meaning of this handkerchief.
They know that they are demons, but they do not know that they are mixed with the blood of a baron. Even if he knew it, how would Lucas, a human, know about the customs of the baron?
But even if Lucas was unaware of it, this series of processes is like a contract engraved on his soul.
From the moment he received the handkerchief, Lucas became Lilith’s companion.
Although it may be meaningless to Lucas, it is not meaningless to Lilith.
No, it meant a lot.
Lilith buried her face in the handkerchief.
seldom… … I can’t face Lucas’ face.
