Chapter 20

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Thinking it over for half a second, Lily—

「Ara? About what?」

And played dumb.

There is no evidence. Even if she stops, there is no way to confirm.

In addition, Sera is talking about “Sister”. Linking together the information and situation, the possibility that it is Lapis is high. Looking closer at Sera, she does bear a resemblance to Lapis.

Lily had thought that Lapis was of noble descent, but she didn’t expect her to be the first princess of this country.

That aside, Lily’s sixth sense was telling her that giving her information about Lapis would be dangerous.

「Fufu, playing dumb? Following the route that Sister took, she would inevitably end up in this area. If Sister is still okay, it could only be if you were to be lending her a hand. Anyhow, the only one living in this forest of illusions is you.」

She is a girl that surpasses imagination. She reasoned logically, without any hesitation.

Lily felt the need to brace herself.

「That might be so, but why didn’t you bring a search party any sooner?」

Being asked a question, Sera smiled.

「Soon… you ask, Lily-sama? Why do you know that the search party was dispatched late?」

「!」

‘She got me!’ Lily thought.

What she had been bracing herself for was this. Lily made a large blunder. However you look at it, it seems that Lily isn’t suited word battles.

「The answer is simple. You know that Sister ran away two months ago.」

「…」

「Therefore, you thought that the dispatch was late. All according to my expectations.」

「…」

「Please lead the way, to where Sister is.」

Without being able to say another word, Lily sunk into silence. She was completely outwitted.

However, she wouldn’t let her beloved be exposed to dangerous eyes. With that single thought, Lily grabbed Rindbloom’s neck and in one movement, cleared the 10-meter distance.

This action must’ve been unexpected, since Sera became flustered.

「Indeed, Lapis is at my house.」

「Ara? You’re accepting?」

Sera looked with surprised eyes. As expected, it wasn’t a mistake that her “Sister” that she was talking about was Lapis.

Lily completely took that gaze.

「Yeah, but it’s not like I’d allow her to be exposed to such dangerous eyes.」

「? …Dangerous?」

「So answer me! When you meet her, what do you plan to do!? Depending on the case—」

Instantly, many hundreds of bright magic circles shined around Lily.

「—I’m prepared to ruin this entire country.」

Lily used all of her power to threaten Sera. If it were a normal person, they’d faint within 5 seconds.

In that situation, Sera sighed.

Lily thought that at least her courage deserved praise.

「However you look at it, there seems to a misunderstanding. I don’t care about inheritance rights or illegitimacy or any of that, nor am I thinking to harm Sister.」

「…You’re lying, right?」

For the first time, Sera raised her voice.

「I am not lying! Why would I harm the world’s cutest older sister!?」

「…eh?」

The shine in the hundred magic circles faded.

Sera shortened the distance.

「Anyhow, since my previous upset expression was misunderstood, I shall explain, that the king was taking much too long and that turned into my irritation! It became exceedingly so because of the aristocracy and their flaws, but even so, it took 2 months! 2 whole months! Normally, she’d have died by then! For that, Lily-sama, truly, thank you very much for looking after Sister.」

「Ah, no」

「However! I’m at my limit! Immediately, even a second faster, if I don’t replenish my Sister essence, I’ll die! Sister’s used underwear is already lacking!」

「U-underwear!?」

「So I’m begging you, Lily-sama! Please let get to Sister— hm? Lily-sama, there’s a faint smell of Sister on you.」

「!」

「Please excuse me… fuwa, Sister’s smell. Ah, Sister, Sister~!」

「Gyaaa!!」

In the forest of illusions, Lily’s shriek echoed.
