Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 93

“Curse you!”

To cut to the chase, Novash didn’t open his mouth in the end.

It was to be expected.

Even the fairy caught in the royal castle hadn’t opened her mouth despite all sorts of coaxing and torture. It would be a pity for his comrades if he opened his mouth just because someone poured carbonated water into his nose.

“Cough!
Keheck!
Cough!”

“As expected of a fairy. That steadfast attitude is commendable.”

“Tsk, I just wasted precious drinks.”

Sion muttered, drinking all the remaining carbonated drink.

Then, he roughly wiped Novash’s face, which was covered in tears, snot, saliva, and carbonated drink, with a rag he got from somewhere.

“You’re suffering. I told you, if you just open your mouth, I’ll make it easy for you. Did you have to choose such a difficult path?”

“Cough, cough! You, human! Keuk, cough!”

Novash’s eyes blazed with anger.

But Sion didn’t seem to care at all, checking the rag in his hand before exclaiming, “Oops!”

“Oh, hey. My bad. This wasn’t a handkerchief, it was a rag. I just grabbed anything from a passing maid, and it happened to be a rag used to wipe the floor.”

“You, you bastard!”

“Bear with it, even if it’s a bit *jjipjjip* [unpleasant or sticky]. I scrubbed it properly on your noble fairy face, so it’s well disinfected.”

With that, Sion tossed the rag behind him.

Sion sat back in his chair and glanced around.

Sebastian had left to report the situation to Margrave Lichten.

Lilith, Rishikeeda, Lucia, Winnie, and Kim Yoo-hyun were the only ones left by his side.

‘Everyone here would understand even if I did all sorts of crazy things… Ah, should I exclude Kim Yoo-hyun? I don’t know what that guy thinks of me yet, damn it.’

Anyway, even excluding Kim Yoo-hyun, the remaining women were definitely strong allies who would stand by his side in almost any situation.

In addition, everyone gathered here knew of Lilith’s existence, so there would be no surprise even if she revealed her true power from now on.

“Hey, pointy-eared friend.”

“It’s Novash, human!”

“You call me human, but why are you so sensitive? Why don’t you just shut your mouth and listen? The words coming out of my mouth from now on won’t be pleasant for you in the future.”

Although the words were extremely playful, the voice and the energy felt from it were neither playful nor light.

Novash bit his lip at Sion’s eerie appearance, which made him instinctively shrink back, and decided to remain silent for now.

“Let me tell you in advance, what’s going to happen next won’t be pleasant for either you or me. If you just open your mouth at this point, there won’t be any more bloodshed.”

“…Nonsense.”

“Yeah. I knew you’d say that.”

Sion stood up from his chair.

Then, he approached Lilith, who was waiting behind him, and opened his mouth.

“He says he’s going to take the hard way. Annoying.”

“Well, what can you do? Honestly, I’m the expert in this area.”

“…Tsk.”

Even though Lilith answered with a bright smile, Sion’s expression was still dissatisfied.

The succubus queen, who already knew the reason well enough, tried to comfort her man.

“Don’t worry. It’s not like I’m doing it with my true form like you and I do. I’m just going as a mental entity and doing some seduction like I used to, so what.”

“Still, it’s unsettling.”

The only way to get the information they wanted from the fairy’s mouth was now just one.

Not coercion or persuasion, but just making him feel good and talk on his own.

A seduction far more intense than alcohol or drugs, and impossible to resist, was right in front of him.

“Is someone jealous?”

“Yes. I’m jealous. What kind of man in his right mind would watch his woman flirt with another guy?”

Lilith couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Sion’s grumbling.

It wasn’t to ridicule him, but because she couldn’t bear to see such an unexpected side of him; he was too cute and lovable.

‘Ah, you bad guy. If you show me even that side of you, this older sister has no choice but to fall for you even more.’

She was worried that her rank might have been pushed back because there were so many women around him, but it seemed like a needless worry.

In fact, she could strongly feel the burning jealousy and anger from Sion.

“I suddenly want to just kill him.”

She had seen men like this sometimes, but seeing the man she liked reacting like this made her body twist, but she didn’t dislike it.

No, rather, Lilith even had the wicked thought of dragging out the time to make her man even more anxious.

‘Cute. Ah, should I just have a round here and go?’

The succubus’s instinct was just shouting to knock this man down and have a wild time.

But there were people watching around, all of whom were rivals and collaborators who had feelings for Sion.

Lilith suppressed her instincts and instead gently kissed Sion on the cheek.

“I told you not to worry. I’ll be infiltrating that fairy’s mind as a mental entity, but nothing you’re worried about will ever happen.”

“…Hmm.”

“Really. Even if I just go and stand there with my arms crossed and laugh, that stupid fairy will grab my skirt and spill everything he knows and doesn’t know, you know?”

“That’s a relief, but…”

“Everything I have, from head to toe, is all yours. This is an unchanging fact, so rest assured and wait. This Lilith will go and make him spill all the answers you want to hear.”

Sion finally nodded at Lilith’s words.

In fact, he knew very well that there was no other way than for her to enter the fairy’s mind as a mental entity, but that didn’t mean he wanted to see or imagine the scene of the woman who had shared her body with him clinging to another man.

“Lilith-nim.”

“Yes?”

“If that guy is not easy to deal with and keeps trying to get on top of you, just give up and come out.”

“Oh… would that be okay?”

“It’s a matter of my pride as a man that I can’t tolerate him touching even a finger on Lilith-nim’s true form or mental entity.”

Sion sent her off only after Lilith replied that she would keep that in mind.

Having received permission and understanding, Lilith approached the chair where Sion was sitting.

“W-What?”

Novash, who had not initially grasped Lilith’s identity, soon sensed with his unique fairy intuition that the person approaching him was a demon, a succubus.

“C-Crazy! Humans! Have you gone so far as to collude with demons now! You foolish people!”

“Shut up. Just shut your mouth.”

Not just words, but Novash’s mouth instinctively snapped shut at the terrifying energy Lilith exuded.

At that sight, Lilith sat on the chair with a dazzling smile that shook men’s hearts and stared at Novash’s eyes with a sensual posture.

“Damn it, damn it! U-Untie me! You crazy humans! Do you even know what that woman is and…”

“I know very well what she is, so that’s why I entrusted this to her, right?”

If it were a normal succubus, he would have resisted somehow.

But the moment Novash met the woman’s eyes, he instinctively realized it.

That the woman in front of him was not someone he could dare to handle, a monster itself.

“Look into my eyes, baby.”

“Ugh, ugh… Kkeueueu…”

His eyes became increasingly hazy and dull.

In contrast, Lilith, who was giggling as she watched his rising manhood, said, ‘Shall I go now?’ and closed her eyes, leaning comfortably on the chair.

It was the moment when a sweet but never-ending nightmare was about to strike Novash.

―

“Now, beautiful and wonderful fairy? Tell me your name one more time?”

“…Novash.”

“Yes, yes, good. So, you really shot the arrow to save our Rishi here?”

When Lilith subtly brought Rishikeeda, who was standing next to her, Novash stared at her with dazed eyes, then slowly shook his head and revealed that it wasn’t true.

When asked ‘Then why did you shoot the arrow?’, he thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“To kill or, at the very least, injure her. The Senior Knight… is the highest obstacle blocking the great cause.”

The expressions of those gathered at the word ‘great cause’ changed strangely.

What on earth was going on that the fairy was trying to carry out even at the cost of human lives?

“Can you tell me a little more detail? Tell me, hmm? Tell me. Novash.”

When Lilith subtly exhaled her breath near Novash and made him smell the scent, Novash trembled, then slowly nodded and continued to speak.

“If there is a Senior Knight, Nudia’s forces cannot break through this place. So, we aimed for her to remove one of them from the battle.”

“I see. Yes, yes, thank you. Novash, shall we move on to the next question? What is the connection between the monsters that popped out of the mountains and you guys?”

“T-That… That…”

Novash’s expression hardened and relaxed in an instant.

Even though he had fallen for Lilith’s charm, that level of reaction meant it was quite important information.

Lilith, who was quietly watching him, grabbed Novash’s hand as if she couldn’t help it and subtly stroked his thigh.

“Kkeueuk… Kkeueueo…”

“Answer me, Novash. Tell me what connection you have with the monsters.”

In the end, Novash couldn’t overcome the succubus queen’s charm and blurted out the contents.

The time when the Celestial race finally reveals its true form on this land is when the continent is overflowing with all sorts of negative emotions.

And they call all the things they do to advance that time the ‘Great Cause’ and are doing everything necessary for the appearance of the Celestial race.

“So, let’s summarize. Nudia’s army will come here again, and in the meantime, you were gathering monsters from the opposite mountain range to cause unrest in Margrave Klausen’s territory and sending them down to the territory. Is that right?”

“Y-Yes… That’s right. Soon, Nudia’s army will come here again, and our mission is to aim for the rear as much as possible and cut off all contact and support…”

As if there was nothing more to hear, Sion ordered Rishikeeda, who was standing quietly.

“Rishi.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Put that pointy-ear to sleep again. And make it hurt while you’re at it.”

She was not a woman who would not notice what Sion meant by those words.

Rishikeeda bowed her head as if she understood and approached Novash, who was only staring at Lilith with a ‘Heh’ expression.

“Lilith-nim.”

“Yes?”

“Really, nothing happened, right?”

“Seriously, you. Don’t worry. Do you think I’m a woman who’s so desperate for a man that I can’t live without one? I did all those things to make a living, and now I don’t need to, so I’ve cut off my interest in other men except for you.”

Even though Lilith said that, Sion was still staring at Novash as if he would kill him.

At that, Lilith inwardly let out a satisfied laugh, ‘Ehehe!’

‘Ah, you’re so cute! The guy who always seemed so perfect that even I would shrink back is suddenly showing jealousy in this corner? Ugh! I just want to bite you!’

Thwack!

In the meantime, the sound of a watermelon splitting was heard from somewhere.

Lilith, startled, turned around and saw the scene of Rishikeeda slamming her hand down on the top of the fairy’s head as if she were splitting a fruit.

“Ah, Master. Did I hit him too hard?”

“It’s okay. If he dies, it’s his fault.”

With that, Sion subtly wrapped his arm around Lilith’s waist.

Thanks to that, Lilith smiled happily and snuggled deeper into his arms.

Unlike Lucia and Rishikeeda, who were nodding their heads, saying that Lilith was as expected, while also showing envious reactions, one cat was clinging to Sion and meowing fiercely.

“Nyaong! W-What are you doing! Separate, you two! Yaooong!”

Of course, Lilith hugged Sion even more tightly as if there was no way she would.

Winnie was so excited that she even cried out, “Weoooong!”, but this time, Sion was only focused on Lilith.

“More than that, Sion. What are you going to do if Nudia’s army really invades?”

“Well, of course, I have to stop them. Fortunately, we’ve already crushed the monsters, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

“I’m sorry to say this to Sion, but humans are so funny. When did you shake hands with a smile, saying let’s stop fighting, and suddenly you’re going to stab me in the back?”

“Isn’t that ever-changing aspect the charm of humans? In a good way or a bad way.”

With that, Sion moved to officially inform Margrave Lichten of the matters he had learned so far.

‘Originally, Nudia did invade Klausen again in the novel. But unlike that time, I thought I had completely crushed Count Basura and prepared a breakwater… Could this guy have betrayed me?’

He wondered if Count Basura, whom he held several weaknesses, would move recklessly, but when he thought that he might just recklessly charge in, Sion felt a surge of anger.

Thinking that this wouldn’t do, he wrote a short letter to Count Basura, saying that it would be quite tiring if he came out like this.

Saying that if you come out uncooperatively, I’ll just reveal all your secrets and we’ll all die together.

“Why is this man suddenly acting like this again! What did I do wrong!”

Thanks to that, Count Basura, who was only focused on restoring the territory’s finances without knowing anything, could only clutch his head and wail.

This was not simply being quietly present and getting burned by a stray spark, but being burned so badly that his head was completely burned off, a situation that was so unfair that he was about to go crazy from his point of view.
