Chapter 142: Even If It Is Fake (2)

What is that appearance of yours, it is beyond pathetic.

"You lot also love her, right! You think of her from the heart, right! Then show at least scolding! Unable to even blame the mistake of the one you love, what is a man you great idiots!"

Even so, men who loved the same woman, unbearable to see.

Niekawa barked toward the men.

"Is defeating the Sacred who protect everyone correct!? Defile, degrade, and as a result she, the one you love, can become happy!?"

Wrong, right? There is no way that is so, right?

And yet why are you there? Why are you obeying her orders?

Because you do not want to be hated? Because you do not want to lose her?

"Ah. I can understand."

He says it as if spitting.

Because he is charmed by Livy’s ability and loves her from the heart, he can understand that feeling to a painful degree.

"But wake up, love rival. If you truly love, if you are a man who loved the same woman, show that spirit...!"

Strong feeling is a thing that transmits.

And more than anything encouragement issued from someone in the same situation.

Livy’s vanguard, the charmed male students, tightened their expressions and turned back toward Livy.

Like a serious error occurring in the whole system as a result of starting a program in an unexpected environment, her charm while exerting usual power broke down.

Of course there are still several who side with her, but compared to those who turned to Niekawa’s side fighting spirit is clearly low.

A situation that was overwhelmingly advantageous collapsed just from charming one man.

"Shit, shit, what is this, what."

Leaving subordinates she charmed in Remora so as not to be noticed by Sacred until the last moment became a disaster.

There is also that Livy’s subordinates were insufficient in power against an opponent who overruns Gain, but for her who held absolute confidence in her own power that kind of fact does not even become a handicap. She had thought she could newly charm men for against Sacred and make them pieces.

But what is this reality?

Most of the male students turned enemy from Niekawa’s heated speech.

Because I love I stop, I will not let only you look good, I will exhaust power for her. Saying that kind of nonsense.

If it were only that it would have somehow worked.

However much they turn enemy, they are only ordinary people. There is no logic they can beat Livy who is a Magician Diabolic.

Together with a tongue click Livy releases the enchant she applied to the male students and flexes hair like a whip to smash them.

"Do you think that kind of attack will pass?"

Right before, it is shot down with flame as if natural.

Knight standing behind the male students, while seeping complex emotions on her expression, does not avert her gaze from Livy.

Yes, Sacred are the strongest.

For her shooting down Livy’s attacks, a Magician Diabolic one or two ranks inferior even to Gain, is easy.

"Sacred... Knight...!"

"You need not be that frightened. As long as their love continues I will devote myself to support. Now stir yourselves. This Sacred Knight will help save your lovers."

Though she gets done in by Alter, Knight is also one who commands soldiers.

Precisely because of that she understands. If Knight herself clumsily tries to defeat Livy the situation will return to the state just now.

The male students are facing Livy only to bring the one they love back to the light. By no means to defeat and purify her. If Knight tries to burn Livy away with flame, the male students headed by Niekawa will all become enemies.

Therefore Knight concentrates on stopping Livy’s attacks.

If the male students had not turned enemy, for Knight a Magician Diabolic like Livy Ido is only a small fry. Grinding Livy while protecting them is easy.

Then release charm and collapse coordination?

(No good. That is the worst...!)

If she releases charm the male students lose a reason to fight.

If they get confused and stand still and become a wall that would be good, but the man named Niekawa leading the male students will not allow that.

If it is him he will scold the confused male students and start guiding them so they do not get in Knight’s way.

Then after that is a digest match. Sacred Knight fights with full power, and the Magician Diabolic named Livy vanishes without being able to do anything.

Then.

"Thank you, you all. I have returned to sanity."

Only secure a position where she is not killed by Sacred.

She puts on a fawning smile, and her voice color rings sweet like honey.

I can no longer win. It is already impossible. The battle situation was completely overturned.

Then while using these men as a shield I have no choice but to somehow flee.

"Don’t screw around, did you think this me would be deceived by words covered in that kind of vanity."

"Whyyy...!"

And yet this man.

Why will he not be deceived, why will he not obey, why will he not move conveniently.

Already every plan is exhausted.

In the first place she is an existence specialized in charm ability. Manipulating charmed men and smirking behind was her way.

For when facing women, more than anything to maintain style she had learned combat technique, but with that degree she cannot possibly resist Sacred.

Tears spill.

From not understanding the meaning of this situation and fear of death, Livy cried like a girl.

"Why? If the one you loved errs, correct it, if they are suffering reach a hand. It is natural."

A human staring at a Magician Diabolic while readying a fist. A weak thing.

Yet he tramples what do I care about that kind of logic and stood before Livy.

"I somehow guessed that you being in a relationship antagonizing Sacred. Therefore I did this. So you do not step off the path more, to protect you."

The clenched fist opens, a hand is extended.

"Atone for the sins you committed and start over. If Sacred say they will burn you away without question, I will fight Sacred together with you."

"Ah."

At that figure the Magician Diabolic naming herself Livy Ido, the woman who survived a world of the weak being meat for the strong, recalls when she was a girl.

She liked love stories.

Men and women who thought of each other joining after hardship, she liked that kind of impossible fantasy story.

Yes, that cannot exist in reality, a thing that only holds in stories.

Therefore Livy, the same as a boy living in a peaceful world admiring hero tales, was drawn precisely because it is an impossible fantasy, and of course was trampled by reality.

There is also that power of darkness dwells easier in men than women. A weak pretty girl being pinned by a strong man and becoming an outlet for sexual desire was a natural conclusion in that world.

Among girls in similar circumstances snapping hearts and killing themselves, or starting to fawn on men, Livy did not give up.

Don’t screw around. I will crawl up from here, aim up, I will not end as an existence that only gets trampled, I do not want to end.

She defeated a man who let his guard down and exposed his lower body, crushed women in the same circumstances, sucked up power of darkness, and a powerless girl became a Magician Diabolic.

As a result the power she obtained was charming demon eyes.

Feeling of wanting to be loved by someone, a feeling she forgot at the end of being trampled and defiled, bursting out.

She thought this kind of power at this point, but it was certain it was convenient.

Power of darkness dwells easier in males, so inevitably those who become Livy’s enemies are only men. Therefore the power called charming demon eyes was tremendous.

Charm men who approached and command them, charm and command strong ones who break through the commanded men... repeating that she built a huge force in Remora, and was smashed by Queen Fine and Gain she commands.

But I will not end in this kind of place, I cannot end, I do not want to end.

To grasp the future I wish I cannot be defeated in this kind of place.

Ah. But.

Why she did not want to end. That reason is now before her eyes.

"I see, that was so."

She puts on a self-mocking smile.

In the end she was seeking someone who would seriously love her, and now her path was blocked by the person she sought.

But this is a bubble dream.

In the first place the man before her eyes loving her is because she is charming him with demon eyes. It is not that he loves Livy from the heart.

"I spit quite an embarrassing line, but even so can I say it?"

Therefore she released charm.

Confused voices of the male students ring. The love that was driving them suddenly vanished, flustered voices.

And the man before her eyes too, the same.

"Ah, I will not take back my words."

No.

He stares straight this way.

"If you seriously think you want to start over, if that feeling is trampled, not as your lover. As one human I will swear to protect you... if it is said what can a human weaker than you do, that is as far as it goes."

At those words there was not the sweetness of offering to a loved one like just now.

But precisely because of that those words soaked into her chest.

"...I will surrender. Will you accept me, Sacred?"

Thus Livy Ido was defeated.

Not the ending Alter predicted of being burned away including the male students, but in a form of becoming Sacred’s prisoner.

And more than anything, yearning for one man.

"...Yes, I understand. I swear on the name of Sacred Knight, as long as you do not betray, I too will protect you."

At that scene Grace was inwardly terribly irritated.

She cannot understand at all why she is that irritated. He even persuaded a Magician Diabolic and pulled her to this side, did he not.

It is a thing to welcome. Is it not a thing to rejoice.

And yet why. When she sees Niekawa’s face she seems about to yell as emotion dictates. Even though he is a good man, even though he has done nothing bad.
