Chapter 929 – #202_Mia(3)
#923
One.
In a situation that is already twisted, Lydia is indeed a sudden guest.
It means that she came to know that she visited her hiding place in this spacious apartment complex.
It also means that there is no use for her to pretend she doesn’t know.
So, without letting her guard down, I let her into her.
“Sweetie, how long has it been?”
Dark blonde hair neatly trimmed short.
Eyes shining bright like gold coins.
White gloves and a dress that reached just below her elbows.
It was no different from the last time I saw Lydia.
Lydia calmly accepted the suspicious glances from the three pairs and went straight to the living room.
“If there are guests, shouldn’t we at least serve drinks?”
Rinne glared at him with fearsome eyes.
Eloa looked at her with eyes embarrassing but clearly hostile.
Lydia was full of composure even in front of Siwoo, who was half dazed because of her absurdity.
Lydia sat down on her sofa, spreading her handkerchief and spouting her non-poetic jokes. Lydia opened her room and took out four nice glasses and seemingly luxurious champagne.
“What if not? As a guest, I will assume that I bought it as a housewarming gift.”
She is an unexpected guest, but on the contrary, if you ask ‘Is she really someone who never comes here?’, That’s not the case either.
Wasn’t Lydia the one who commissioned the hardliners to prevent her from going over the locks in the first place?
She, of course, could not help but stick her tongue out at Lydia’s audacity.
She is a public and kidnapper who took Dorothy hostage.
It is common sense that he thoroughly hides himself until the deal is concluded.
Even though she denounces herself as a necessary evil, she appears in front of Elroa, Rinne, and Siu, who is the leader of public society.
Before all the questions, Siwoo asked.
“Where is Dorothy?”
“I left him unconscious, but he is doing well. Did you say I keep my promise. As long as you get your hands on the locks, you’ll return safely. Well, looking at the situation, it doesn’t seem easy.”
“… I’ve felt it before, but your personality is really bad..”
“I hear that a lot. Alcohol is expensive, but don’t you drink?”
Lydia, who had been sipping champagne calmly, hesitated.
“Did you think I would play with your childish tricks?”
It was because Linne’s attitude, which she didn’t know when she brought it out, supported the slender Lydia’s neck.
Lydia snorted at her as if her excitement was ruined.
“How have you been doing? You look healthy. How are the wounds from before?”
“If it wasn’t for my husband, then you would have died.”
Even when drops of blood rolled over the sharp blade that had dug into her skin, Lydia didn’t blink an eye.
“Linne, wait. We can’t fight here anyway.”
“Overpower Magnus and take her hostage. Then there is nothing to see in this city. It’s not a matter of knowing whether it’s a lock or an overflow.”
“Okay. Do whatever you want. Even though the lineup is flashy, can you quietly subdue me?”
The golden halo that started dripping and the atmosphere shimmering in ink create a sharp confrontation.
But now, outside the window, the Angel Search Party is looking for her witch and lighting her eyes.
The moment a spark is fired on a table full of gunpowder, the only expected ending is a group explosion.
In the first place, Lydia would have come to the house warmly, trusting in the self-destruct switch rather than the hostage effect.
“If you understand, you should put it away, right? What are you doing to make it taste bad?”
“…”
Lydia pushed her blade away with her goblet.
She ran her gloved finger over her wound, clearing the wound that needed several stitches.
However, she was not restored to the hideous atmosphere.
A sharp atmosphere that can not share a glass of alcohol flows over the table.
“I need to hear why you are here.”
“Tell me what are you doing? I am also trapped.”
Lydia explains that she too was in this pocket space, she says.
While exploring the city, Urshira attacks the Witch Lord.
It is said that Witch Lloyd, who has a power that exceeds expectations, begins to act and her feet are tied up.
But it won’t be that simple.
Lydia took the title of moderate out of necessity, but she is a public figure.
She might have joined forces with Ur Shi-ra and Priscilla to attack Siu’s group, or she might have another plan.
“I expected that. Why did you follow us into the pocket dimension?”
“To be honest… Looking at the situation, I tried to take a profitable route.”
Lydia spoke her words openly about her self-doubts.
“There was also an intention to see if her client would carry out her request well. To be honest, the best thing for me was to get hold of the lock while you guys deal with Urshira and Priscilla.”
In other words, they were aiming for fishermen’s geography.
If Lydia’s intention had succeeded, her Dorothy would not have been returned, and she would still have a valid card in her hand.
“I told you in advance, don’t worry. I’m not lying when I say that Dorothy is safe. No matter how much I do, it’s hard to ignore the duke’s threats.”
She didn’t naively believe that she was a fair deal in the first place.
“I know you can’t be trusted, but you’re too open-minded.”
“So it’s a perfect condition for you to trust me. Anyway, the situation was twisted between me and you, right? To the point where it’s hard to think of each other.”
Lydia was proud even after revealing her true feelings.
It is ironic that such an attitude paradoxically confers trust.
Eloa, who continued to be silent.
“I can’t believe that. As you know, there is another person who provided information about the lock.”
“The Whispering Witch?”
“Yes, can you prove that you are not Lilith?”
Even if we put everything aside and make concessions, this is a major issue.
Seeing this twist, she can’t help but think of Lilith.
Lilith can disguise herself as any other witch, and beyond simple acting, she can use the person’s trivial habits and even self-magic magic.
Now, Lilith disguises herself as the ‘cowardly witch’ and serves as the king of monsters, but she has changed into Lydia and there is no guarantee that she would not have come here.
“That is impossible. It’s the devil’s proof. Instead, to commemorate the temporary alliance, I’ll tell you the information I uncovered about her.”
“Information about the release?”
Lilith is a witch shrouded in a veil more than Keter.
Eloah had been tracking it for a while, but she couldn’t catch even the slightest clue.
“Lilith’s magnetic magic is related to ‘history’. For example, it is possible to take on the body of a witch who has already died or to use magnetic magic. Conversely, it means that a witch who is not yet dead cannot be imitated.”
“… That’s a fact I didn’t know. But it won’t be a cool explanation. What if the real Gold Coin Witch is already dead, and Lydia Magnus here is what Lilith imitated?”
“That’s why it’s the devil’s proof. I cannot fully assert my innocence. But…”
Lydia quenched her throat once.
“If I wanted to, I could have joined the hardliners, and I could have dragged an angel into this hideout and put you in trouble.”
“…”
“If you force me out of this ungodly city, I have no choice but to annoy the dukes. It’s not about threats or threats. I’m telling you in advance that there is no choice but to do so without any malice. I will have to survive on my own.”
To sum up Lydia’s words:
It is true that he sneaked into her pocket dimension with the intention of stabbing him in the back.
However, things got twisted and she was in trouble, and she chose Siwoo and his party as helpers to overcome the crisis together.
I understand that it is difficult to ride in the same boat, but if you are pushed out of the boat, you don’t know what you will do to survive.
So let’s ally
“You are so shameless…”
It was a shameless alliance proposal that prevented even Siwoo, who had lived a shameless life, from being speechless.
“Originally, capitalists are shameless. Didn’t you know?”
“…”
Eloa does not believe that the enemy of her enemy is her friend.
She doesn’t even expect that Lydia will cooperate without thinking about the crisis.
“You had other options. But why would you take the risk and join us?”
Is the final criterion.
Lydia answered as if it didn’t matter.
“Because the expected value of joining this side is much higher. And because it is the camp that can sell my ransom at the highest price.”
“I already took the hostage, talked about it before and after, and suggested that we cooperate for survival. Are you going to ask for money again?”
“In some cases. But, duke. Doesn’t the cost always mean something material? I’m thinking that building friendship with the duke’s camp is a very good expected value.”
“That won’t happen.”
“It remains to be seen. Because there is absolutely no one in the world.”
The conversation ended with the words of Eloah who spoke clearly and Lydia who smirked.
Afterwards, the three discussed whether or not to recruit Lydia.
Siu hated Lydia, who held Dorothy hostage, who was weak, buying and selling her witches and killing humans.
Linnaeus warned her that Lydia might be up to something else.
Eloa also did not trust Lydia in the slightest.
Lydia added a word to the series of negative reviews.
“In addition, I am very capable. How could I have found a place for you to hide at once. You won’t regret it if you take it as an assistant.”
The results came out rather bland.
Unlike Ho-Oh, emotionally, it was too risky to throw Lydia away now.
The final conclusion was that it was her safest course to use her as her joker when her situation was not going well while monitoring her in a place where she could see her.
“Okay, so today was a rough day. Let’s watch the situation and start moving in earnest tomorrow.”
Is it because she’s always had her life standing on top of other people’s heads?
Lydia, naturally giving instructions as if she were the leader of the group.
However, there was no disagreement that she needed a break, so she naturally did her own thing in the living room.
And that moment when the tight string of tension is loosened.
“… Hmm.”
Siu felt troubled.
It must have been because she drank too much of her body odor.
Erection does not subside
However, the difficulties Rinne felt were even greater than those of Siu.
After being bullied for a long time, I was interrupted just when I was about to feel better.
“…”
For a witch who had just escaped the curse of lack, Rinne’s self-control was very good.
However, once the fire was ignited, the burning indulgence was difficult to handle even with such restraint.
The strange gazes of the two people kept glancing at each other.
