222 – Discovery #2
The outdoor toilets and sinks were terrible, riddled with mayflies and a bunch of other bugs.
In particular, the mosquitoes were buzzing with excitement, so I had to walk to the outdoor sink of the well-equipped Platinum Dormitory.
It was while I was washing my hands and face at the outdoor sink of the Platinum Dormitory.
Kuk-.
That I felt a sudden poke on the side.
“Hieeek…!”
Perhaps even the cat, who suddenly saw the cucumber beside it, was less surprised than I was.
Anyway, I was so startled that I sprayed the rinse-water I had in my mouth like a water cannon. The problem was that Mirna Draco was the target of fire, causing her hair to get soaked…
“Kkyak-!”
“Ah, Mirna-nim, I’m really sorry. It’s just the poke startled me….”
“… Don’t remind me. Anyway, why were you so surprised? You’re like a criminal that just got caught.”
Ssukssuksuk-.
Mirna elegantly pulled out a handkerchief. I didn’t know what kind of enchanted handkerchief it was, but her damp hair and face now looked fresh and tidy.
It was amazing.
“Did Mirna-nim cto wash up too?”
“No, I have cto talk to you, Theo Gospel. We seldom have the chance to be alone together.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ah.”
“First of all, is your body okay? I heard from Narmi that there was something wrong with your body.”
Seuk-.
Mirna touched my face with her hand and checked all around.
“Nevertheless, you seem relatively fine. I was a bit worried since you got up late.”
“Thanks for caring, it helps. So, Miss Mirna, what is it you wish to tell me…?”
“Ehem, I don’t really know the details of what happened. But I hope you’ll hear it without any misunderstanding.”
Ssukssuk-.
Mirna looked around as if she were wary of someone listening. Then, she gently grabbed my collar with her fingertips.
“Someone could be listening here. Let’s go somewhere quieter.”
“A quieter place?”
I didn’t know what she wanted to talk about. But Mirna wasn’t one to usually beat around the bush, so I was half-nervous, half-excited.
Was she going to kiss me?
Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Mirna’s face looked slightly flushed, like a shy new bride.
Perhaps I was simply being optimistic here…
Finally, as we entered an empty grove, I heard an astonishing story from Mirna.
“I think there is something wrong with Lady Lioness.”
“Lady Elga? Something wrong?”
“That’s right, Theo Gospel. Didn’t you feel anything strange?”
Did I not feel anything strange?
Well, not really.
“What do you mean by strange…?”
As I shook my head, Mirna explained herself, “Uhm, I guess you wouldn’t know since you’re in bed for a while.”
“How should I explain this-.”
What was she trying to say? After pondering for a while, Mirna finally opened her heavy lips.
“Actually, in the last few days. I’ve noticed that Lady Lioness has changed. Doing things she wouldn’t normally do, or not doing things she usually would….”
“Things she wouldn’t normally do?”
“Look at today. Lady Lioness didn’t touch alcohol during the outdoor party. Not even a single drop.”
“…….”
That was amazing.
Not only was it surprising that Elga hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol, but the fact that Mirna had been watching Elga also cas a shock.
Though I didn’t show it, I had my guess as to why Elga hadn’t been drinking.
Elga was carrying a quarter nymph in her belly. As such, she seemed to be controlling her alcohol and cigarette intake.
Mirna continued.
“The Lady Lioness, who would drink straight from the keg, refused the drink I offered her. And she also didn’t smoke. She didn’t lose her temper with the noisy imps and even served meat!”
“… Isn’t it a good thing when people do good deeds?”
“If Lady Lioness had always been like this, I wouldn’t think so… But now that I think about it, there’s not just one or two strange things.”
“There are more?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No matter how I flip it over, it’s strange. Lady Lioness, who loves to fight, didn’t participate in the trial by combat as Queen Tarantera’s champion?”
“…….”
“They have a close relationship and a certain level of trust between them, so it seemed natural for Lady Lioness to becthe champion.”
That was right.
Elgar wanted to fight the hunter herself.
That was probably the best solution. But Elga didn’t because, as I said earlier, she was carrying a quarter nymph.
All the strange things Mirna mentioned were because of the growing infant.
I soon realized that Mirna was catching on to Elga, and started to feel pressured.
“Above all, I becconvinced that day. The day you, Sir Theo, entered Queen Tarantera’s dream. That day….”
“That day…?”
“I felt two very strong souls in Lady Lioness. That’s why I couldn’t put Lady Lioness into the Queen’s dream.”
“Ah.”
“I felt two souls in Lady Lioness, this means….”
I shut my eyes tight. Since she noticed that there were two souls in Elga, I could already predict what would cout of her mouth.
It was, to me, nothing short of catastrophic.
Seureureuk-.
Mirna’s face was shaded in the moonlight.
She then said.
“Yes, Lady Lioness is possessed by an evil spirit!”
