My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains [part 2 ]

Chapter 116: Blue Devil (2)

༺ Blue Devil (2) ༻

It had been quite a while since I last entered the Image World.

The last time I did this was when I was engulfed in my own Image World due to the Divine Power of that one Virtue.

Considering my Karma, being completely neutral, that world was bleak and desolate without anything in it.

"..."

But, this world I was in had a completely different atmosphere than mine.

Maybe because it wasn't my Image World, but Riru's.

'...How brutal.'

Well, just from looking at the surroundings, it was obvious that this world was hers.

After all, only her mental space could be so... 'Barren'...

The land was withered, the sky was dyed red and there was a harsh and violent blizzard.

Beneath me was snow so deep that it drew my feet in every time I took a step forward.

It was a cold and painful world.

Now, I wasn't exactly an expert in psychology, but if I ever heard someone's mind was associated with such an image, I could tell that there was something wrong with them.

However...

As I looked around a little more, I realized that this wasn't all there was to it.

I dragged my feet and arrived in front of a 'flower garden.'

Compared to the snow-covered withered land that filled this space, it was only the size of a handspan, but...

It was still a green land lush with new foliage.

"Warm, isn't it?"

Hearing that remark, I turned my head.

On that green land, someone was lying leisurely.

Its voice sounded gentle, completely unfit for the occasion. But precisely because of that, I could immediately tell its owner.

"As someone who's practically living here, I can say it really is better to have something like this than having all the space filled with coldness. I don't think you can imagine how comfortable this feels like."

It was someone who gave off the 'blue' impression from their head to toe.

That impression didn't come from their skin, as it was painted in pale white, but the blue particles that they emitted from all over their body.

They were Riru, not wearing a single stitch of clothing.

To be more precise, they were the Blue Devil, who was taking on her form.

Normally, most Devil's Fragments would reside in the Mental World of their host, though.

"You don't seem very surprised? Usually, people would be surprised to see Riru like this."

The Blue Devil threw such a remark with a light smile.

As she said...

She carried a relaxed and languid atmosphere. The tone of her voice was warm and cozy. Her eyes were drooping as she was lying on the grass, as if she was on a picnic and was about to take a nap.

Considering that the real person always showed a stiff or strong impression, following the stereotype of a 'Female Warrior,' this gap in appearance could be described as awkward.

"...I had formed a hypothesis, you see."

Saying that, I sat down in front of the Blue Devil.

"All the Devil's Fragments I've met had completely different vibe than their 'original possessor.'"
