Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 337

Side Story 16

“Absolutely not!!!!”

Cain shouted as if in despair.

‘It’s rare to see Cain like this.’

For a devil who usually just smirks and spouts perverted nonsense no matter what happens, to react like this.

“Hmm, do you dislike the angel that much?”

“Angel! You call me a measly demon, but him an angel!”

“But Crescentio is an angel who heals, stabilizes, and protects people.”

“……Darling, didn’t you used to call him a pain in the ass?”

“That was before I knew he was an angel. Crescentio is, after all, noble and elegant in every action.”

“He’s just a pain in the ass who can’t be honest with his feelings and is always snappish. Plus, he’s a rigid old fogey.”

“Well, I find his prim and shy side to be one of his charms. And he’s not called an old fogey, but a strict and chaste ascetic, right?”

“This is species discrimination!”

Cain trembled.

He was so agitated that his tail, usually hidden, came out and whipped around in the air.

I’m usually the one driven crazy by Cain.

This role reversal is always thrilling!

I enjoyed watching Cain’s tantrum for a while before opening my mouth.

“I can’t summon him right away anyway.”

“……What?”

Cain looked at me with a dazed expression.

“Summoning a celestial being can’t be that easy. I just summoned a demon; do you think I can do it again right away?”

I didn’t have enough Cash [in-game currency] to summon Crescentio immediately.

Cain narrowed his eyes.

“Darling, were you just playing with me?”

“Yep.”

Cain silently lowered his head.

Maybe he’ll reflect a bit now that he’s experienced it himself.

But what Cain said when he raised his head—

“……That’s hot?”

—was completely different nonsense than I expected.

Cain placed his hand below his navel and said,

“I just felt a tingle here.”

Excuse me?

A long, smooth tail gently wrapped around my body.

“You’re the only one who can play with me like this, Darling. I hardly ever get shaken up, you know.”

……Why is he starting with the perverted stuff again!

“Haa, Darling. Do it more. Play with me. Treat me like a toy—.”

Clang!

Cain couldn’t finish his sentence.

Sid and Raphael simultaneously struck Cain from both sides.

One is an esper [person with psychic abilities] said to have transcended humanity.

The other is the youngest Sword Master.

Seeing Cain collapse after being hit by the two of them, I felt a little sorry—

‘……Nah, serves him right!’

I leaned back on the sofa and crossed my arms.

“Enough. Tell me about the conversation Cherie and Nabi had at the banquet.”

I had asked Cain to eavesdrop on their conversation.

That’s why we were supposed to meet in the lounge.

Cain clutched his aching head and said,

“I’m in pain. This isn’t the kind of threesome I wanted. Not you two, but with Darling…….”

Clang!

“Just answer the question.”

“Tch. Aren’t you being too harsh on me? Using this great archdemon as a mere eavesdropper.”

Cain grumbled but properly began to recount the results of his eavesdropping.

“That woman is planning to use that man’s influence.”

“Influence?”

“That man has tremendous influence in his original world. Frankly, I can’t understand how it’s possible in such a short human life.”

I know the reason.

‘Nabi has repeated regression dozens of times, after all.’

“It’s almost to the point of dominating an entire world. Even if it’s a matter of another world—”

“That means he can exert influence even in our world.”

Cain nodded at Sid’s words.

“That’s right. And beings with such powerful influence usually exert a strong influence even on people they meet for the first time. Look at Darling.”

Cain’s tail wrapped around me and poked my cheek with its tip.

“Those with immense influence are like emitting light. People gather around them like moths to a flame.”

I tilted my head.

“I don’t really think so.”

My friends liked Nabi, saying he was very handsome, but that was it.

The Paeraton household members were wary of Nabi rather than welcoming him.

“Well, everyone in the estate is loyal to Darling, so they’re not greatly charmed by that man. But that doesn’t mean they can ignore him, right?”

“Hmm, so Clattier might use that influence to plot something dirty.”

“Exactly.”

Cain nodded.

At that moment, Sid, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

“Clattier has accepted as much as a Keyas Edel into her soul. The reason she was able to possess Cherie’s body is probably because the remnants of that power remain in her soul.”

As expected of Sid.

Just like how he grasped the process of Shuriel’s creation at once, it was the same this time.

“But why Cherie of all people?”

“Because she’s not from this world.”

Sid answered my question.

“Only because Cherie’s body, which came from another world and does not belong to this world, was she barely able to succeed in possessing her.”

“That means her power is that much weaker.”

Raphael pointed out the main point.

“She’s definitely going to plot something to use that man’s influence and regain Keyas Edel’s power.”

“She used to hide fraud in holy objects.”

The day of Shuriel’s wedding.

She almost destroyed the world by opening the fraud hidden in the holy objects.

“If there’s something like that again…….”

The period when Aptanes’ name was erased by Keyas Edel’s scheme was easily over several hundred years.

It was enough time for Keyas Edel to hide her power and make arrangements.

“The problem is that we can’t find it.”

At Raphael’s words, Sidrian stared intently at Cain.

“This guy is useless. I called him to track fraud, but he can’t even sense it.”

“Useless, that’s too much!”

Cain grumbled and winked at me.

“But I might have other uses? I’ll make you ecstatic and happy. I know so many ways to please Darling.”

Clang!

I shrugged.

“I don’t think it’ll be a problem even if we can’t find it?”

“Hmm?”

I turned my gaze and looked at the air.

There, a large quest window was floating.

It was a new quest I received after finding out that Clattier had possessed Cherie.

〈Dirty! Like cockroach!〉

That’s right, readers!

It’s a villainess possession story!!

In this case, it’s not an innocent soul possessing the body of a villainess, but a villainess possessing an innocent body.

Well, Cherie is a bit annoying to call innocent.

‘Cherie is a bit of an airhead.’

Anyway!

The dirty Keyas Edel’s minion has returned alive without dying!

Even Churatie’s soul!

Why is this terrible hybrid of Liliel and Churatie so persistent?

Like a cockroach!

A bug that can never be eradicated no matter how many times you catch it!

Dirty!

I agreed with the demon at moments like this.

Readers.

It’s time to end it completely.

Please eradicate this dirty cockroach Churatie this time!

Please eliminate Keyas Edel’s existence from this world!

I was going to do that anyway.

However, to do so, it’s not enough to simply kill Cherie, who is possessed by Clattier’s soul.

The remnants of Keyas Edel may remain somewhere and pollute the world again.

First, find the remnants of Keyas Edel!

-Condition: Find the remnants of Keyas Edel

-Reward: 10000 Cash Gacha Ticket, Linked Quest 〈???〉

“Not a problem even if we can’t find it? What does that mean?”

Raphael asked.

I smiled.

“If it weren’t for Clattier, I would never have found Keyas Edel’s last clone in my life.”

I didn’t even know that Liliel had created a clone and escaped from prison.

I also didn’t know that a clone, like an amoeba, could also become the main body.

“That means—.”

“That’s right. We have a kind guide to lead us.”

Just like before.

“My dear cousin will light my way.”

* * *

Knock knock.

With a knock, the door opened slightly.

Soon, pink hair peeked out through the gap.

As soon as she made eye contact with the room’s owner, Luatisha giggled.

“Why don’t you answer the knock? I thought you were asleep.”

“……I didn’t think you’d come.”

The room’s owner, Nabi, frowned and replied.

“Why would you think that? Someone I brought is hurt, of course I have to come.”

Luatisha said as she approached Nabi, who was leaning against the window frame.

Nabi quietly watched her.

Luatisha tilted her head as if asking why.

A clear face without a single shadow.

When Nabi didn’t say anything, Luatisha soon put away her puzzled look and prepared for treatment.

“Okay, first come down from the window frame.”

Luatisha reached out to Nabi.

The moment that soft and warm touch reached him, Nabi felt a churning impulse.

Before he could even properly recognize the impulse, his body moved first.

“……!”

Bang, Luatisha was pushed against the wall with a sound.

Nabi looked at Luatisha, who was pinned against the wall and trapped beneath him.

For some reason, that unknown annoying impulse was not disappearing.

Nabi said, grinding his teeth, from a distance close enough for their breaths to touch.

“I thought you weren’t an idiot.”

“……?”

“Could it be that you don’t know?”

Luatisha blinked with a puzzled face.

Nabi frowned, wondering if she was really an idiot.

Without knowing why he was feeling anxious.

“You…….”

“Ah!”

At that moment, Luatisha said with a brightened face as if she understood.

“Are you talking about the sneaky and dirty scheme you and Cherie are plotting to stab me in the back after I rescued you, fed you, clothed you, and put you up?”

“…….”

Nabi was momentarily speechless.

Hearing it like that, he really seemed like a son of a bitch.

“Of course I know. You made it so obvious at the banquet.”

“Then why…….”

Luatisha shrugged.

“That’s that. You’re a patient.”

“……What?”

“Think about getting better for now. You know you almost died, right?”

“Once I get better.”

Nabi unknowingly said that and closed his mouth.

Is it not coming?

Unable to say those words until the end.

“By the way.”

Luatisha looked up at Nabi as if something was strange.

“Why are you angry?”

“What?”

“Why are you feeling anxious?”

“…….”

“Isn’t it better if I’m being fooled like an idiot without knowing your scheme?”

“……!”

Nabi was speechless.

He also didn’t know why he was so annoyed.

“And don’t look at me like too much of a pushover.”

Luatisha smiled as she pushed Nabi’s arm away.

“I’m coming to you because I’m getting something out of it too.”

Luatisha glanced to the side.

〈Nabi〉’s trust has increased.

1000 Cash awarded!

‘I don’t know why the trust went up again, but.’

Anyway, it was a good thing.

“So don’t feel guilty.”

“……Guilt?”

Nabi awkwardly pronounced the word.

Guilt.

It was an emotion forgotten too long ago.

Now it’s like it never existed from the beginning…….

‘Don’t feel guilty towards me.’

It was enough to make him laugh in vain.

As expected, this girl is purely innocent.

She grew up in a greenhouse and only knows kindness.

Fragile, easily crumbling, like flower petals that would be crushed with a single gesture.

He should just laugh at and trample on a girl like this.

But for some reason, he couldn’t take his eyes off that frailty.

That’s when it happened.
