Is this really just an RPG? !

I met unexpected people in unexpected places and in unexpected ways.

Incredible.

unimaginable.

It is impossible to understand why Her Royal Highness Princess of the Alexander Empire appeared in such a place.

From Gabi’s words, it can be inferred that she asked Gabi to go out of the city to find me, and even expected that I would choose to come to August first, and specifically told Gabi to bring me to this library, and to do it early The preparations for receiving me, everything on the small round table is for two people, which is definitely not something you would have when you were alone.

more importantly.

At this moment, Lilith and I's posture... is a bit subtle.

"...Your Highness?"

I use the same words as Gabi when calling me, and I occasionally call Lilith "Your Highness". After all, I am a brave man of the Alexander Empire, and before I am a brave man, I am the people of the Alexander Empire. question. Although Lilith never puts on airs and doesn't make any demands, I still can't help calling her that when the atmosphere is relatively special.

Just like now.

It was too close.

"Um……"

"Is Your Highness confirming something?"

He stared at me very seriously, and touched my cheek with his hand.

No matter how you look at it, it is a confirmed behavior.

"Because I met a very uncomfortable guy, so I want to prove something."

"Eh?"

Could it be that someone pretended to be me and was noticed?

It's possible, but can't understand why.

"Sure enough, this Neil is better."

"...Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about."

What is called this.

Was there another one?

There shouldn't be too many people called "Neil" these days.

"It's not very important. We have a lot to talk about. Let's sit down first."

"Of course I know, but if His Highness doesn't leave at all, I won't move."

"Eh? Neil is not good at getting close to women? This is the first time I know, after all, your traveling companions during this time are two women, plus Qiuqiu... I thought you were used to it .”

"This is not the point!"

"Eh……"

Lilith's smile made me feel a little weird.

She is not like this in normal times, she will maintain the temperament and etiquette that a princess should have at all times, even if she does a series of things that people can't complain about, she can make people say "this person is from a certain country" at a glance. Princess." Such a conclusion, this is probably the essence that will never be shaken.

However, Lilith in front of her.

More like a witch than a princess.

"surprise?"

"Um."

"The sequelae of the spell will not be cured for a while. In order to read some books, I have to cast a spell on myself, which will make my side as a witch more obvious."

"Dual personality?"

"It's not like that, it should be said that it's a matter of tendency."

"Hey... is there any difference between humans and witches?"

"Mana will affect the way of thinking, and witches who are born with huge magical power will be more affected."

"Understood, but when it comes to books."

"It's what you see in front of you."

Both sides of the table are full of books, all of which were taken from the bookshelf in this study room. Some of these books are so worn out that they will break if touched, and some have blurred handwriting on the cover. If you want to read them in this situation, you have to use special abilities and spells to do it anyway. That's why Lilith put a series of spells on herself.

No wonder I saw Lilith as a luminous body when I came in, and I would be attracted to it if I didn't pay attention.

"What do you think of me?"

"lamp?"

"Pfft, what a strange way of describing it!"

"No way! This is the first sense of sight."

"However, only you can do this kind of thing."

"Eh?"

"Without being blessed by any spells, you can see Mana's state with the naked eye."

Yeah?

I always thought that many people could do it, and I was one of them.

This is not a rare situation. The more you learn spells, the more you want to spy on the state of magic power, so as to confirm how you should unfold the spells is the best option, and choose which spells to release to maximize the effect. It turns out that those people can only do it through the blessing of special techniques!

…………

Ehhhhh?

"Am I an exception?"

"Yes, with an exception, my dear Neil."

"..."

It's too straightforward.

Just from those eyes, you can feel the curiosity that goes deep into the bone marrow.

And, indescribably thick to excessive levels of kindness.

"Ahem, did your Highness find something in the book? Something related to Quest?"

"It's really hard for you to understand the existence you have to face in this situation, but before that, let's make an agreement, shall we?"

"Eh?"

"The title Your Highness is more suitable for you in this kind of place."

"……ha?"

Not like a joke.

Both tone and expression are serious.

As if she knew something I didn't understand, from the moment we met, Lilith's attitude towards me was very strange. If we say that we were friends in the past, now it's like adding an inescapable bond to this relationship. Like chains. That kind of kindness made me feel familiar, just like back then... eh? What was it?

Since I went to the endless library, I feel that my memory is not very easy to use.

"Compared to this, we should solve Quest's matter first!"

"uh-huh?"

"Lilith!"

"OK! That's it, then let's determine who you are going to face."

With a snap of his fingers, everything on the table was destroyed in an instant.

Yes, it is destruction.

Instead of tidying it up and sending it away, it was directly destroyed, not even the dross left, and the messy small round table was instantly tidied up, as if those things hadn't been put there before. This is an ability that belongs to the witch side that Lilith has never shown, and it may also be the reason why she is called the "Witch of Destruction".

"What a waste."

"Don't worry about this kind of thing, first tell me how much you know."

"Um……"

Continuing to care about those useless things will only make the situation more troublesome. The fact that Quest is about to break free from the seal is too important. Compared with the previous incidents, those are just small troubles. It is an ancient god that can really cause the entire world to be corrupted, and the creatures on the mainland can't fight against it.

There is nothing wrong with being called "evil".

"Quest, the ancient god of decay, cannot be killed because there is no concept of death. Since decay belongs to the chain of life cycle, it is not acceptable to expel it from the world. The only option is to seal it again. However, there are so many family members, it would take a lot of power to act, after all, even his family members inherit the characteristics of 'decay' and 'immortality'..."

I subconsciously rubbed my right arm.

It still hurts.

It's just that I gradually become numb to the pain.

"Injured?"

"ah!"

It may be that the action just now was too obvious, and Lilith noticed it.

She seemed flustered.

As if she herself was injured.

"The attack of the family?"

"When you don't pay attention...but don't worry! It's completely fine! It's just a little pain."

"Not dead."

"Hey! It's too much! Do you expect me to die so much?"

Most importantly, why do you say this with kindness.

Has her goodwill been distorted?

"Ah! If you can die."

"Of course I can. I'm just an ordinary person. The pain was so painful that I almost thought I was going to die!"

"Aren't you living a good life?"

"Good luck!"

"That's right!"

"..."

Lilith, who tends to be a witch, is really difficult to get along with.

If there are refreshments and other things on the table now, I will probably use them to calm down. Unfortunately, these things have been completely destroyed by Lilith, even more straightforward than my space spells. It has reached a level that is completely inconsistent with the law of magic.

What became of those destroyed things?

And how did it get destroyed to such an extent in an instant?

It's really incomprehensible.

This is probably the power of a witch.

"Back to the topic, you summed it up well, but you didn't come up with any useful solutions at all."

"If I had a suitable plan, I wouldn't enter August on purpose."

"Looking forward to the Demon King?"

"You can always find the clues he left behind! Why leave such a big matter to me, I'm not the devil."

"...Neil is definitely not the Demon Lord."

"..."

Still weird.

Even if it's because of the personality change due to the witch's side, such an overly obvious emotional expression will always make me shiver. Lilith's attitude towards me is too strange and too incomprehensible, like an ordinary friend, but also like a very important treasure, isn't it also mixed with indescribable kindness that makes people suffocate.

"Are all witches like this?"

"I'm probably an exception."

"Eh?"

"My essence is to 'eliminate'. Those who have this essence are either lack of emotion or excessive emotion. I belong to the strong kind, so I am not very willing to turn to the witch's side unless it is a special time... Anyway, I am also a Princess of the country, it is too easy to cause social misunderstandings when talking with distinguished guests."

"Noble status really brings a lot of trouble."

"Neil understood my feelings very well."

"Everyone can understand..."

As soon as I finished saying that, Lilith crossed her hands under her forehead.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me with a strange expression.

"Not really."

"Eh?"

"There are very few people who think like you, Neil. It is almost the nature of most human beings to desire power and wealth while loathing all kinds of responsibilities... Ah, it would be better to say that only human beings are bad, even The other creatures on this continent are also in a similar situation, so Neil is really special."

"..."

The result of different perceptions.

After all, I have no memory of before the age of sixteen.

"I'm a little curious about what Neil looked like when he was a child."

"...Even if you say that, I myself don't know what I was like when I was a child."

"Oh? Do you only remember things after the age of sixteen?"

"!!!"

"It seems that I have hit the mark."

Obviously a familiar smile.

But there is a feeling that it is actually a trap that leads people into the abyss.

I subconsciously moved the chair to widen the distance between myself and Lilith.

"Oh, go on about Quest."

"..."

"Neil?"

"..."

"Don't be in a daze, you basically can't solve this incident without it."

"oh……"

Extremely capricious.

Is this just in her nature?

Lilith picked up a book, then grabbed the back of the book and shook it casually a few times, a folded paper fell out from the pages of the book, then she put the book back in its original place, and then put the fished out paper Bounced and lay flat in front of me. It was a map, so detailed that each floor had a clearly marked map.

It's a schematic of Ingrid's Prison.

"Before tangling how to deal with Quest, let's study how to get close to him."

"No matter how powerful the sealing technique is, it must be used within the effective range."

"In order to reduce damage, it is best to re-seal Quest before he completely leaves the old seal."

"With luck, the old seal can still help us."

Lilith looked at me.

The meaning revealed in those eyes is too easy to read.

I sigh deeply.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
