I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

35 – Teacher (5)

To Ekklesia asking my name in a trembling voice, I replied with a kind smile, just like she had.

“My name is Iva. Sister, that’s a wonderful thing. It must be rewarding to relieve those who suffer in the name of God. I, like you, have a very strong spirit of service. Just handed over a criminal to the police. He is truly a good citizen who does not put up with injustice, extends his hand to the weak, and gives bread to the poor.”

I told her about myself without any lies. Even though the body is the devil, what she actually does is no different from that of a nun. To dedicate my life to saving more people. The ordeal I am walking now is proof of that.

I don’t know what it is, but if I become a demon king, many people’s lives will be lost. In other words, the proof of my goodness is to continue the trial without weakness in order to prevent this. Even though I do it for myself, not for others, there is no problem because the result is similar.

Ekklesia got even more anxious at her kind self-introduction and ducked her feet behind her. No you’re too much I stepped in front of her every time she hit her back. Even a good-natured person has at least one or two playful tricks of the devil inside.

“Why is that? Aren’t you the one who swore to God to be a kind neighbor? There’s no reason to be afraid of me!”

“Hey, there…”

“Why are you avoiding me? What am I? Becoming a nun doesn’t mean you reject people based on prejudice, right?”

“Me, you…”

At that moment, my collar went up. No one’s hand Instead of waiting endlessly for a train that never came, the lonely railroad track must have blown the wind. The wind caught my clothes and threw me into the air.

“Lilia, hold on.”

I was caught by the collar like that and was dragged to Lillia’s side. It was a strong denial of access without a single word.

“Hey, hey wait. Put it down gently, really. Otherwise.”

“Otherwise what?”

“I’ll beg you to put me to bed every day.”

“Wow.”

Lillia threw me 1 meter into the air without hesitation.

“Hey! Put it down.”

“I’m sorry I heard such horrible noises that I couldn’t help it…”

“It’s really too much…”

Is this a friend?

Well, this is what friends are. Otherwise, what would a lover be?

I thought about dating, but I can’t even properly date with this body right now. What kind of relationship is this when you can’t even settle down in one place after leaving the ordeal? Besides, what woman would want to meet someone like me.

Lilia approached the bewildered nun with a kind and beautiful smile that she uses externally.

“That… That person isn’t human, right?”

“People.”

“Shut up, Mr. Ekklesia? He’s not biologically human? But he’s human at heart, so don’t worry! Our kid isn’t a bad kid. …Probably.”

If you’re going to defend yourself, do it right or what? I glared at Lilia and pulled her up. Her pain from tearing her buttocks was brushed off along with the dirt on her pants. It’s time to stop teasing the bewildered nun. Lilia put her hand on her throbbing head and spoke towards her cleric, who felt a visceral disapproval of her vicious things.

“Eva was a human turned into a demon by a demon worshiper.”

“…!”

She actually went from being a monster to a demon, and from being a demon to being a candidate for a demon king, but she didn’t say that. Because things get more complicated.

The nun showed her exhilaration that she was relieved of her troubles, and her expression full of embarrassment when she saw someone with such a complicated story. He’s not good at lying. Ekklesia turned her head toward me, where she stood blankly. I was embarrassed and scratched the back of her neck to express my affirmation to her words of Lillia.

“Yes, that’s what happened.”

Heh heh, as people live, they become non-human. Life is really complicated. I don’t think there’s anyone like that, but I think I’m especially complicated. I’m not even a person here. In fact, I might be the person most suited to this city, Erapor, the city of wandering. It got me thinking.

“I’m sorry. I haven’t met many monsters, so excuse me.”

“Hey, if you call me a person…”

“Yes, of course he’s a human being! Even in the midst of such hardships, he can speak so politely to me, but of course he’s a human!”

Are you going to turn it around? Do I find it strange to use respectful words? The nun was looking at me with proud eyes, as if Lilia had given a great story to my brief existence. It was fun when I was embarrassed earlier, but now it’s not fun. He is a typical good person. I am ready to show kindness at any time, consuming my feelings to someone I just met or even a short story. I don’t really like it because this kind of kindness makes me feel uncomfortable.

“Then is the reason you came to this city an ordeal?”

“How did you know?”

“There is no great wizard in this city who can turn you back into a human. The only reason to come to this city of wandering is trials.”

Well, I’m going to go sightseeing in a city like this. What am I going to do? It smells of cigarettes, sewage, and even drugs in the back alley. It is a building, a human heart, and a delightful city full of black.

“Lovers are challenging the ordeal together! How romantic.”

What bullsh*t are you talking about?

“…? Who? Me with him?”

“Mr. Ekklesia, why am I in a relationship with this guy?”

“Uh…Wasn’t it?”

“No.”

“I’m sorry! The two of you are traveling together so I didn’t care!”

We didn’t get angry or excited, we just denied it dryly. Because there was nothing to be angry about or excited about.

“Then there are others in the party as well? I was mistaken!”

“? No, we’re traveling alone.”

“?”

“?”

Ekklesia and we were deliberately embarrassed. There must have been a difference of opinion about something. I couldn’t think of that possibility, so I stopped thinking. I tend not to think about things I don’t know. Lilia seemed to be very comfortable, probably on the same side. What was confusing was the Ecclesia, which had a conservative mindset.

Ekklesia seemed to have sorted out his mind, and brought up the main topic by clapping his hands.

“Didn’t you say you’re in trouble because you can’t find accommodation right now? Then, would you like to come to our church? We have a room for guests.”

I’m glad. Just because I was added doesn’t mean I can’t stay at the cathedral. It’s a church that even accepts monsters. Religion has become very open these days. Of course, I am happy.

“Really? If so, thank you!”

Lilia smiled very happily. When her nun saw her smile, she subtly raised the corners of her mouth, as if she felt the kindness had been rewarded. But i know That her Lilia’s innocent and pure laughter was actually created.

“Whoops, the prices for accommodation are solid…”

My sensitive hearing catches even the small sound of my heart leaking out.

“The clever b*tch…”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Anyway, it turned out like this. As in the original story, we began our tour of Eraport in the cathedral. It warms my heart because it is a godly beginning. I just hope that it will not be burned with holy water beyond being warm.

**

The Trial of the Sage is a truly unique composition. Just because you set foot in a new city, you can’t confirm whether that city is a city of trials or not. This ordeal is basically designed to look around the world while traveling.

At least three days. You have to walk around the city for three days or meet and communicate with people in that city. Really like travel, so that you can build experience of the world.

That’s why I had to find a place to stay right after I got off the station. Since you have to travel around the city, you need to secure a base in that city. Of course, the geography of this city was so crazy, and I failed to find lodgings in Eraport because I secured the assassins before the lodgings.

“Okay, we’ve arrived. This is our church.”

I think it’s a good thing to have met such a kind and pretty nun.

The travel time from Ilios to Erapor was long, and the sky was dark as there was quite a bit of time lost and lost and time I spent at the police station. The stars were hidden from view by the cigarette smoke emitted by countless wanderers, and the moonlight hid itself like a city in the black, as if it had wandered.

Nevertheless, the cathedral is pure white. It is pure white like snow that has fallen on a grave. It was so white and huge that even the dark and dull things were mistaken for being white here.

“The cathedral is quite large, isn’t it?”

“When the cathedral was being built, the priest who oversaw the construction said, ‘Even in a city of wanderings and alleys, shouldn’t everyone have at least one space where their hearts can rest’… So this place has a fairly large capacity to provide a place to rest for all who wander.”

Is this a space created from the beginning to receive people? The fact that there is quite a lot of space aside from the inside where you can pray is like giving a place to rest to everyone who wanders in accordance with the architectural ideology.

At that time, I could hear the deafening sound of hinges characteristic of an old door. I followed the sound and turned my head to see someone who had opened the church door. That person was still a child.

“Umm… Sister Leia? You’re here! What about them?”

This young child rubbed his eyes as if he was sleepy, and greeted Ekklesia with frequent steps. It’s still time for adults to be fine, but children need to sleep for growth, and because it’s the time of night when children and adults are separated, she couldn’t help but feel sleepy.

“Oh, why haven’t you been sleeping?”

“Sister Leia waited~”

“Really? That’s a great kindness! Thank you so much. But if it’s too late, you have to go to bed! Next time I won’t come, darling! Promise!”

“Yes! Promise!”

Ekklesia intertwined her little finger with the little girl and gave her a tight hug. The door was still open and she peeked inside. The bright lemon-colored fire was shining softly, and I could feel the warmth just by looking at it.

“Who are those people?”

The girl raised her finger and pointed at us, as if marveling at her stranger in her church.

“Honey, when you meet someone for the first time, you say, ‘Who are you?'”

“Who are you?”

“I am a lost traveler. I am being taken care of by a nun. I will be staying here for the next few days. Please take good care of me.”

“Thank you”

The girl greeted us with her politeness, then she turned and ran toward her interior, flooded with bright lemon-colored lights. As her figure disappeared before her eyes, her door was closed. And soon the door opened again. The girl sticks out her face and smiles, her front teeth showing.

“Good night!”

Then she closed the door again. I heard footsteps thumping like a dog running, then it disappeared.

“Are you raising children here?”

“Yes. We are a church that allows those who wander to rest. Even if it is a child, we have a duty to provide rest for those who wander. Adults are responsible for children who wander.”

The Cathedral of Erfort is huge. It is set aside so that all who wander may rest here. Naturally, children wander more than adults. Because it hasn’t taken root yet. And there are those who don’t even have that root.

Commonly, they are called orphans. An existence that floats on the ground without knowing the blood connected to it or with all of it cut off. The floating sprouts that will experience the most wandering. If this is a place to give rest in a life of wandering, the most guests would be children like this.

In other words, this is a cathedral.

“Even for lambs who have nowhere to go… Loneliness is scary.”

It is also an orphanage.

Reminds me of the old days. I am also an orphan, and I have affection for people in the same situation. When I started earning money, I started sponsoring an orphanage. After doing that for a few years, we got along well enough to do a brother-in-law ceremony. There was a lemon tree in the orphanage, which provided swings for the children and made my mind and body feel at ease. When I got away from the bloody battlefield and went to the garden where I could smell the subtle scent of lemon, I felt at peace.

“That’s a good thing.”

“Of course.”

“You are a good person who takes good things for granted.”

“Oh, are you flirting?”

“Whoops, did you get caught? Can I call you Leah?”

“Ahahahaha, you joke so well. You can call it that if you want.”

“Yes, Ms. Leah!”

“Why?”

“Ehehehe, I just called it. It’s a pretty nickname.”

That’s how I recall the memories, Lilia, that b*tch is making friends with the nun. You’re not really trying to flirt are you? It’s not like it’s been years…

I slipped between them and spoke to Ekklesia.

“Sister. Could you show us around our room?”

“Sure! We’ll prepare the best room for you to get a good night’s rest!”

Following Ekklesia’s guidance, we arrived at the room. As she said, the interior of the room had a comfortable bed that reminded me of a hotel suite. It didn’t matter if it was the same room, but they gave me two big rooms, probably because they paid a lot of attention.

I sat on the bed and read a book. It’s not like I can’t sleep alone. However, since Lilia was too tired to ask for it, she would have to sleep, so she planned to hold on until the sun came up. She lasted about ten days in a state of sleeplessness. That’s how many times I’ve done it before possessing this body.

After transforming time into knowledge, it became dawn.
