"Hey, who are you calling stupid... no, who has a crush on someone, ha, hell?" Kureya blushed instantly, both surprised and angry.

Why does this demon even know such things?

Just as she was still in shock, Ronan nodded and said:

"Okay, you go help Frillie make the cake, I'll take care of things here. Also, where's Alice?"

Alice was nowhere to be seen in the city; everyone thought she had given up and left, but...

Upon learning that Alice had returned to the capital via the teleportation array and wouldn't be back until evening, Ronan nodded slightly.

"Is that so? I understand. So what are you waiting for?"

Kureya composed herself, turned around, and took her leave.

Before leaving, she glared at Barnier fiercely, as if she wanted to skin him alive because the secret had been exposed.

Barnier didn't care. He had seen many cases where people developed feelings for those around them because of long-term companionship, regardless of gender.

However, Ronan's next words brought him back to his senses instantly:

"She's gone. Let's talk about the price you pay for living."

"The fact that you're here means you've made thorough preparations; one bottle of potion isn't enough."

"...What do you need?"

"What can you give me? Aren't you supposed to be able to see the future? Take a look and prove your ability."

Although I can use it myself, there's no need to do everything myself. Luckily, I met someone who has the same ability as me.

Having them do the work is the most suitable option.

Barnier fell silent. He easily broke free of the ropes binding him, touched his mask, and finally nodded solemnly:

"it is good."

Whether we live or die depends on this.

I'll fight tooth and nail to succeed.

Chapters 234 and 235: If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created it.

"Oh dear, why hasn't Mr. Barnier returned yet? Has he abandoned me?"

In the hot spring, Wiz had half his face submerged underwater, gazing at the sky that was nearing noon, a look of loneliness on his face.

It's been three hours already, which is normally enough time to explore the town and find your target.

Even if they can't find it, it would be good to come back and let them know.

As a result, there was nothing there, as if they had lost contact, making it hard for her not to think the worst.

Splash!

She lifted half of her flushed face out of the water, just as she got up to go out and search.

The wooden door leading to the women's hot spring creaked open, and two girls walked in from behind it.

The visitors were Darkness and Chris.

They were covered in sweat from the ordeal of chasing Barnier.

Chris crossed his arms, frowned, and muttered:

"Damn it, that guy actually got away. Why is there a high-level demon here?"

"Alright, alright, Chris, he's just a demon. This is Axis territory, he can't escape."

"I should take a good shower first; I feel so sticky and uncomfortable."

Darkness comforted her, patting her skin as she spoke, feeling a sticky sensation.

Chris sighed helplessly, nodded, and had no choice but to give up.

However, at that moment, she made eye contact with Wiz, who was getting up from the hot spring and about to leave.

Wiz was startled, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

"High-ranking demons... Could they be talking about Mr. Barnier?"

If that's the case, it would explain why there hasn't been any news so far.

Chris stared at Wiz, his expression first showing surprise, then a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

Others might not recognize her, but she does.

Heh, lich, still completely naked.

This time, let's see where you can run to.

……

"Ahhh, I'm sorry, help! Someone's bullying the lich here!"

Just moments later, Wiz was pinned to the ground in the hot spring.

Darkness pressed her knees firmly against her back, then straddled her, remaining as immovable as a small mountain.

Chris walked up to her, half-squatted down, and retorted:

"Bullying? Don't joke around. Why are you undead creatures all gathered in this town?"

"They actually dare to come here to soak in hot springs so brazenly, do they really think we humans don't exist?"

Both the Axis doctrine and the Eris doctrine explicitly state that any undead creature must be eradicated.

Eris hates undead creatures because they bring pain and calamity to humanity, thus diminishing her faith.

Wiz sobbed, feeling wronged, as if she were some kind of villain.

She gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but couldn't.

With both hands firmly held down, it was impossible to use the [Extract] skill to extract the opponent's stamina.

She raised her voice, her voice choked with emotion:

"Why can't liches soak in hot springs? That's discrimination. I've always been law-abiding."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to Axel and ask."

"What exactly did you do to Mr. Barnier?!"

Thank goodness, in Wiz's mind, Mr. Barnier, although he liked to play pranks, was essentially a good person.

At least when she was still human, Barnier had several opportunities to kill her, but he never did.

Chris stroked his chin and murmured:

"So that demon's name is Banir? It sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before. It keeps making random noises like 'Oh, oh' all day long."

“Follow the law, don’t joke around. You liches have abandoned your human bodies and used the mysteries of demonic arts to become the kings of the undead, opposing the laws of nature and the gods.”

Do you think I'd believe your excuses?

Chris found it increasingly absurd, a feeling akin to a mob boss claiming to help old ladies cross the street all day.

Undeniably, this situation does theoretically exist, but the probability of it happening is extremely low.

As a goddess, she would almost never gamble on such a probability, which is also a responsibility to all of humanity.

Wiz was so anxious he was about to cry. He wouldn't listen to explanations and resorted to sophistry. Humans are just too unreasonable.

Darkness frowned upon hearing this.

As a follower of Eris, she was hostile to undead creatures, but something always felt off.

After thinking about it, she finally found the source of the strange feeling.

"Wait a minute, you said you're from Axel?"

Something's not right. Why would a lich, one of the highest-ranking undead monsters, appear in a starting town?

She herself started from the starting town, and only three days have passed, but why haven't she heard any news?

Seeing that someone was finally willing to communicate with him properly, and that the attitude was no longer purely hostile, Wiz breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:

"Yes, I run a magic item shop there, and it's been more than three years now."

"In these three years, I have never done anything bad. People call me the boss with big breasts or the boss who loses money every day."

"These titles show that I am harmless. I came to Alcanretia this time just to take care of some things."

Darkness's lips twitched slightly. Leaving aside the fact that she was losing money every day, her large breasts were definitely true.

So, does this lich have no other advantages besides this?

Why do I always seem to have a kind of naive and innocent vibe?

She coughed twice, just about to ask Wiz what he had come here for.

But at that moment, Darkness's loosening of her right hand gave Wiz an opportunity, which she seized decisively.

"Drain Touch!"

The purple light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and Darkness's body suddenly became limp.

Before collapsing, she realized something was terribly wrong and thought to herself, "Oh no, I've been tricked."

Wiz broke free of his restraints, jumped up, and rushed towards the door.

Chris paused for a second, then suddenly stood up from his half-squatting position, wanting to give chase.

"Freeze!"

The water on the ground was frozen, and she slipped and fell as soon as she took a step forward.

Slurp, slurp...

He struggled with all his might, but it was as if he had been soaked in soap; he just couldn't stand up.

"Feel sorry."

Wiz ran over, grabbed the towel from her body, quickly wrapped it around himself, and then ran away.
