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

Chapter 89: Restoration

༺ Restoration ༻

"But, what in the world is this?"

These were the first words that Eleanor, who had just regained her senses after a while, spoke.

Although she was still a little flustered, she looked around with a more composed demeanor than before.

The surroundings were still frozen in time. The grey colored world showed no signs of resuming its flow of time.

"I have a feeling that...somehow, this phenomenon has a 'connection' with me."

Eleanor raised her hand and lightly touched the grey aura that was clustered around her.

"Do you happen to know what this is, Dowd?"

She clasped and unclasped her fists, moving the grey aura back and forth.

"...Who knows?"

I could only give her that vague answer.

"It seems like something you shouldn't delve too deep into, though."

"...? Delve too deep?"

"It's just a feeling of mine. Also, Eleanor, please promise me you won't try to look into it too deeply."

"If you say so... I won't... It doesn't seem to be of harm to me at this very moment anyway."

Although the promise was practically forced upon her, it only prompted a tilt of Eleanor's head before she accepted it easily.

She herself could probably never imagine that the unidentifiable power she possessed was actually a 'Devil', even in her wildest dreams.

'...The existence of Devils, of itself, is the most closely guarded secret, after all.'

Those who knew about the mechanisms of the current Devil's Fragments and Vessels were far and few between.

The handful of people who knew about my 'constitution', which made me unconditionally loved by Devils, were probably the only ones who knew. And excluding them, there was only....

[The Heretic Inquisition?]

Yep. Exactly.

I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh when I heard Caliban's voice from inside the amulet. After all, the chill contained in his voice was abnormal.

The enmity this person had against that group was likely to be immense.

After all, if only that group was just a little... 'normal', he and his fellow Guardians would have survived during the Crimson Night Incident.

'Anyway...'

At this very moment, revealing the truth of their existence to a Devil's Vessel would be the worst gambit.

It wasn't for no reason that I had not been honest with them so far.

'...The Main Scenario would start to go awry.'

You see, their reactions were quite a sight when they found out that they were 'Vessels'.

Then again, there was no way that telling them the fact that they carried the literal enemy of mankind within their body would have a positive influence on their mental state.

Considering that a Devil's Vessel going berserk is dependent on their own mental state, such action was essentially suicide.

Moreover, each and every one of these Devil's Vessels possessed an enormous weight on the scenario.
