The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

He'll be spending all his time holding the werewolf loli Xiaobai in his left arm and the cute blonde loli Lila in his right.

Wow, this is simply paradise on earth.

"Alright, since you're so determined, then stay."

Actually, I don't want Lila to leave my house either, because after she leaves, I don't know how long it will be before I see her again, or... I might be forced to transfer schools.

"Um, thank you... Um, Ivy, could you please cover me with a blanket? I'm so cold."

Perhaps because I was too shy just now, I haven't felt cold yet.

However, as time went on, Lila's body naturally began to feel the cold around her, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Sorry sorry."

As I was saying that, I quickly covered her with the blanket next to her.

After the blanket was completely pulled over her, for some reason, her face started to turn red again.

"what happened again?"

I couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look.

"Um... Ivy, could you help me put my panties on... It's so uncomfortable with you taking them off halfway like this!"

At this moment, Lila closed her eyes and shouted at me at the top of her lungs.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Searching for the Earthbound Spirit

After settling Lira in, there's another very important thing to do!

That's right, we need to catch that earthbound spirit and teach it a lesson it won't forget. Let it get lost in a maze while it was picking flowers in the middle of the night, and end up embarrassingly picking flowers into a wine jar.

This is a great shame that is hard to erase from my life, and I must get it back!

Of course, when Salt, Louise, and I were searching for Lira, we happened to buy a large bucket of holy water, which we would use only if absolutely necessary.

At worst, we can just use Holy Light to instantly turn it into a Buddha.

It just occurred to me that ghosts and evil spirits are afraid of light. My Holy Light spell almost blinded even myself, let alone ghosts.

And so, the four of us—Xiaobai, Lilith, Louise, and I—divided our tasks. Xiaobai and I checked the second floor, while Lilith and Louise searched the first floor. Anyway, there was bound to be that little jar in this house, with a talisman or seal on it. Once we found it, we would force the earthbound spirit inside out, and I would have my own way of punishing it!

Just thinking about it makes my hands itch.

Without saying a word, after the tasks were divided, apart from Lila sleeping in my own room, we began a comprehensive sweep to find the location of the earthbound spirits.

Of course, I also carefully examined every wall, because there might be some undiscovered mechanisms and hidden doors in this room. That is, the earthbound spirit shouldn't be easily left in the open; it should definitely be in one of these hidden doors.

So we gently sprinkled salt on the ground, trying to sprinkle as little as possible.

Since there's no convenient thing like a vacuum cleaner in this world, Lilith will still have to clean when she gets back. So, in order not to add too much workload for her, we should do as little as possible.

Unfortunately, after spending about an hour searching, including the attic on the second floor, they still couldn't find the location where the earthbound spirit was hiding.

"Damn it, this earthbound spirit couldn't have come in from outside, could it!"

I couldn't help but punch the wall next to me and yell angrily.

Could it be that it's embedded in this house...? If that's the case, then the house has to be demolished, and where am I supposed to live when I come back?

This left me feeling like I was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express my suffering.

If I don't find it, won't I be tormented by this thing every night when I have to pick flowers...?

Wouldn't that greatly shorten my lifespan?

No, absolutely not!

We must find her today!

Just as I was feeling troubled, I suddenly remembered that there should be a toilet at the end of the hall when I first ran there, but Lilith said there was no toilet at all, which made me suspicious.

Perhaps there really is a toilet in this room that isn't actually a toilet, but has been mistaken for one.

So without saying a word, I climbed down from the second floor.

"your Highness!"

Lilith probably called out to me because I was running so fast, or maybe she was afraid I would fall.

However, now that I've finally come up with a plan, I can't let it escape.

So I went down the stairs and ran all the way to the wall where I first ran to the toilet.

Since this was a dead-end wall, I kept my hand on it and started feeling around to see if there were any mechanisms.

And this mechanism couldn't possibly be taller than me.

Because if it's really high, how could I possibly push it in?

Besides, the earthbound spirit is something that seems to touch reality, and can only guide people inside, so the one who ultimately triggers the mechanism must be me, not it.

However, after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find a single clue.

"Your Highness, perhaps you should stop looking..."

At this moment, Lilith saw that I was being too persistent and couldn't help but say softly.

"No, if it's always there, how am I supposed to sleep!"

No matter what, even if it means not sleeping today, I must get it!

"Um... but this earthbound spirit might have been built along with the house, or perhaps it's buried underground..."

"Hmm? Lilith, what was the last thing you said?"

Lilith's words suddenly surprised me.

"Hmm...or maybe it's buried underground."

"That's it! Well done, Lilith."

"Eh?"

Hearing my praise, Lilith was also a little surprised.

At this point, I first pressed my head against the ground along the corner of the wall to check if there was any hidden cellar or anything like that beneath my feet.

Sure enough, the moment I put it down, I realized that there was nothing under my feet, meaning there was nothing underneath.

"It was right down there!"

It seems that what Lilith said about the underground has come true. They searched the entire area, including the secret room on the second floor, but they still couldn't find the seal of the earthbound spirit.

In other words... this earthbound spirit has nowhere else but here.

"But this place is flat, how do we get down?"

Upon closer inspection, the floor was covered with wooden flooring, and there was no indication of any hidden mechanisms.

"Perhaps, I had already stepped on the trap when I left."

Then I recalled my memories of looking for the toilet, at least the general route, and after a little replay... I roughly knew the location of the mechanism.

Just then, a sudden idea flashed into my mind, and I quickly walked to the center of the living room.

Then he increased his speed slightly and ran towards the ground.

After countless back and forth like this, in a moment of carelessness, I felt as if my foot had sank into a piece of the floor.

The indentation in the floor was only about 2 millimeters deep.

In an instant, the moment I mentioned earlier when I rushed into the toilet, a 4x4 grid on the floor suddenly triggered a mechanism and sank in.

"found it."

Now that I'd found the mechanism, I rushed straight there without saying a word.

Then below is a wooden trapezoidal staircase.

I just climbed straight down inside.

"Wait, Your Highness, it might be dangerous in here."

Louise shouted loudly when she saw me rush into the dark mechanism without saying a word.

"It's okay, everyone hurry up and get down."

With the faint light above, I seemed to see the toilet I had used before, and the oil lamp I had left there.

"Look, this really is a toilet, no doubt about it!"

Even if it's a case of being lost in a maze, it's impossible for it to have eaten my oil lamp.

"Then, Your Highness, did you see any earthbound spirits...?"

Lilith asked, seemingly a little scared.

"Let me see."

At this moment, Lilith lit an oil lamp and then slowly walked down from above.

Just as the lights illuminated the entire restroom... I seemed to see a wall next to it, and an iron gate...

When I peeked over, I discovered that inside the iron gate was... a skeleton the size of a child, about my age.
