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

Chapter 155: Reunion

༺ Reunion ༻

"...Hmm."

Staring at her best friend, Trisha let out a deep breath through her nose.

She couldn't say that she and Iliya had known each other for a long time, but there was one thing that she was certain of.

The fact that her best friend was extremely shy when it came to romance, almost frustratingly so.

Considering that, her current attitude was...

"...Iliya, what did you just say?"

"Hm? Ah, I said that I should help Riru out."

Strange... Way too strange...

It was unbelievable that this was the same girl who was shaking in anxiety, thinking that she had no chance of getting her 'Teach's attention because there were too many attractive women around him.

Whenever Dowd was brought up, her emotions would surge terrifyingly, but now she was remarkably calm. It was like looking at the surface of a tranquil lake.

"...Riru? You mean, that violent woman?"

Carefully, Trisha started speaking while stroking her chin.

The last time she heard about Riru, she was told that the woman was clearly interested in Dowd.

But...

Out of a sudden, her best friend said that she would help that woman...

"..."

'What the hell happened to her?'

'Also, what kind of help is she even talking about?'

"Well, Riru is planning something..."

Iliya rubbed her eyes behind the eyepatch before letting out a grin.

"It seems like she's about to make a very important confession to Teach."

"...Did she tell you that?"

"She didn't, but she doesn't need to. I can clearly see that she's nervous, and it seemed like she was hiding something inside."

"You can...see...?"

The way she phrased her words made it sound like she didn't just randomly guess.

And her following words precisely confirmed Trisha's suspicion.

"Yeah, like you know, emotions and things that are somewhat visible to the eye..."

"..."

"Like, I can see something...stirring..."

Trisha's mouth fell open.

Her 'eyes that could see emotions' was an ability awakened through interaction with Divine Power.

To be more precise, most Priests would gain a special ability after they reached a certain realm. But even among them, her ability was one of the most powerful.

After all, it was pretty much the same thing as being able to read someone else's thoughts.

But...

Iliya acquired that kind of ability? Out of the blue?

"...Y-You can see e-emotions now, Iliya?"

"No, I can't actually see all of them, just like... If they have... 'Bad' things inside their body... I can see their emotions if they have some intense ones..."

"Bad things?"

"I can't say what it is, or else enemies would come from all over the place."

"..."
