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

Chapter 98: Struggle (2)

༺ Struggle (2) ༻

Yeah, okay. Sure. It was great and all that I managed to successfully follow her.

But what kind of fucked up situation was this?

[Shouldn't you stop them?]

"...Stop that?"

When I saw Riru and Eleanor enter the arena, such a response came out automatically.

"If I interfere, it'll just turn into an even bigger shitfest, you know?"

[...I do agree with that, but...]

Caliban let out a bitter laugh.

[Does that mean you're just going to let those two fight?]

"..."

I knew that would be disastrous in its own way as well.

If they fought right here and now, one of them would die. Most likely, it would be Riru.

And the moment Riru died, the foundation in clearing Chapter 3 was as good as lost.

'...That person is absolutely necessary.'

I didn't say the equipment needed to be shared with another person for no reason.

After all, in this chapter's boss battle, we had to face both Tatiana and Alan at the same time.

When taking Tatiana's abilities into account, there would be times when it was impossible to use 'weapons'. So, it was not an exaggeration to say that Riru was the only one who could deliver effective strikes with her bare hands.

"...Let's just watch for now. It's not like it only does harm."

Considering the original game's progression, there was a narrative that when Vessels clashed with each other, their skills rapidly improved.

Apparently they stimulated each other's Devil's Aura, thus dragging out their latent abilities.

Of course, most of the time, it led to catastrophic situations, but judging by the current situation, it wasn't like there were only negative parts about it.

After all, I was someone who earnestly wished for Riru's growth.

[Anyway, doesn't that just mean it's already half-certain that an incident is about to happen?]

"..."

He wasn't wrong.

[What are you going to do when that happens?]

"..."

I stroked my chin at Caliban's question.

Finally, I gave him a serious response, wearing a stony expression on my face.

"I'm sure it'll all work out fine, right?"

[...]

"You can't even answer that, can you?"

[...]

Yeah, no. I knew you couldn't.

In any case, I believed in myself...

That I'd do whatever the fuck it takes to survive when any fatal threat comes my way...!

[...Aren't you just slowly starting to give up now as well?]

"..."

Yeah, he wasn't wrong.

As expected of the academy that encouraged fights among students the most out of the three academies, the arena in the Forge of Struggle was a state-of-the-art facility.
