My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 1 Complete ]

Chapter 84: Suspicion

༺ Suspicion ༻

Riru Garda was someone who was incredibly quick at grasping the situation.

Even though she had just experienced an unimaginable threat of death just a moment ago, she could quickly assess how the ongoing situation was unfolding.

"So, about that..."

Dowd Campbell seemed to want to say something.

He appeared just as tense as the woman approaching him was fierce.

It was as if she was several times more of a threat than the gigantic Demonic Bird they had faced just moments before.

"..."

Seeing this, Riru unwrapped Dowd's arm that was around her, abruptly standing up.

"...I don't know what's going on, but..."

And then, her mouth began to move before her thoughts did.

"Are you threatening this guy right now?"

"Step aside. This has nothing to do with—"

"It does."

With a bewildered expression, Eleanor stopped in her tracks.

She seemed so baffled that she didn't even know how to react.

This was probably something that no one in this place had anticipated. After all, even Dowd was staring at her with a stunned expression.

"...Wait, what kind of relationship do you ha—"

"At the very least, just know that I owe him a life debt because of his actions a moment ago."

If someone asked her why she was doing this, Riru wouldn't be able to provide a clear answer either.

However, doing nothing after receiving favor of any kind from someone did not sit well with her conscience.

There was no doubt that her mind had recognized that this man, at the very least, held enough 'value' for her to take such actions.

"If you intend to do something to this guy, then you'll have to get through me first."

It would be a lie if she were to say that she wasn't afraid.

After all, the person in front of her was someone even she knew very well. It was because she remembered being overpowered once by her 'spirit' before. The Student Council President of Elfante.

She was a woman who had easily obliterated the gigantic Demonic Bird that was about to kill Riru in just a single strike. There was no doubt that if they were to fight, she would be destroyed in mere seconds.

It would be a miracle if she could even endure one bout.

"..."

Even...

Riru still assumed a fighting stance, desperately trying to calm her trembling arms.

She steeled herself before glaring at her opponent.

"...?"

And, strangely enough...

Instead of retaliating, her opponent's spirit seemed to wane.

To be more precise, it seemed like she was 'shocked'.

Her face even showed signs of sadness.

"...Alright. That's enough."

And before Riru could even think about this strange phenomenon, another voice intervened in the situation.

It came from the mouth of a woman who had appeared through a Teleportation Spell that was casted in the air.
