Chapter 178 – 8-Beast Flood (8)
I, Lilith Belly, laughed at the current situation.
What I see in front of my eyes is Shine Artel, a handsome young man with her golden blonde hair fluttering, looking at me like she’s going to kill me. He is a resident living in this world, and at the same time a reincarnated person like me.
The problem here is that Artel was a close friendship with me in my previous life, and that I was hiding it, and that I secretly chased Shine Artel and was discovered.
‘I got caught! Uh… What to do!? Although it feels good to be glared at with such emotion-filled eyes! Dangerous!”
I swallowed as I watched Artel staring at me with burning eyes in front of me.
There was a disgusting musty smell coming from the back, but the armor I’m wearing now includes an eco-friendly air purifying function, so that’s no problem.
Anyway, I felt that my lower legs were getting wet as I continued to receive such intense gazes.
To be honest, when I first moved to this place, the domain of the Lilith family, I tried to run away right away.
However, the Lilith family’s territory was surrounded by a large number of demons, so they could not leave.
Like it or not, what do you do when you’re trapped here? What I found while wandering around was Artel.
I don’t know why I’m in this place, but I decided that it was related to the demons who dominated this family, so I immediately chased after it.
I thought I followed him well to the inn, but in fact, Artel had sensed me from the beginning and skillfully guided me to the basement and immediately revealed my identity.
It is also a great skill.
At first, I came along because I thought I was going to play a prank because I was suddenly showing off the holy sword on my back and the sword with an ominous appearance, but I guess that was judo… !
I don’t know exactly what the ability is, but it must be an incredibly powerful ability anyway.
And if I reveal the fact that I am Lilith Valley, they will at least listen to me, and hopefully, I can get Artel’s cooperation.
However, it is dangerous to expose the fact that I am the author and a close friend of the author here! Of course it’s hidden!
I don’t know what’s dangerous… Anyway it’s dangerous
Hehe… Yea! You really have amazing abilities! One of my masterpieces, the Invisibility Cloak… Kuhek!?”
‘Caught! Throat it too! No, no matter how different this world may be, if you see the face of a beautiful girl like me, you won’t hesitate and grab the neck right away!’
Artel’s hand grabbed my neck without hesitation. He wasn’t trying to strangle me with any particular force, but just the fact that I was being choked made me feel like I was choking my breath.
At this, my mind became confused enough to grow in size because I liked the red devil-like guy.
‘Confused, confused! Under… But I am a woman who knows strength and weakness! I’m going to bend over here!’
I desperately cleared my throat to make up my mind and tried to negotiate (begging for my life) and said with a cute and cute expression.
“Hawawa! I’m an ordinary magic tool maker!”
“… Who are you?”
My conversion blow hit Artel precisely.
But Artel only grimaced at him.
Why!?
‘I acted in order not to get caught in my own way! To see through this casually… That is amazing! Besides, I’m confirming the fact that I’m not a Lillitt Belly even though my appearance must be Lillitt Belly!’
The fact that I was being questioned made me cry.
However, when I think about it, the original Lilith Belly and the current Lillit Belly, I, are distinctly different people.
‘Of course, I’m not fake, but… But what about now?’
Feeling her head complicated, I looked ahead and Artelkun, who grimaced at her, let me go.
And he looked at me with a mixture of wonder and sympathy.
Yes… Similar to the facial expressions and gazes that wizards made when they found out that I had magical premature ejaculation… No, it was exactly the same.
That expression and gaze were the kind that I hadn’t hated since before, so I seriously said, ‘Jueeeeenjang! Yes… I’m premature! But what have you guys added! Rather, that pity-filled expression annoys me!’ I wanted to shout out.
‘Kingchiman, isn’t it true that I have premature ejaculation with magical power? Probably not.’
Sullen…
“… Lilith Belly is right.”
While I was sullen, Artel must have run simulations in my brain several times before acknowledging that I am Lillitt Belly, and I cheered and shouted.
“That’s right! I’m Lilith Belly!”
However, after hearing my cry, the words Artel uttered were shocking enough to cause a brain freeze, albeit for a moment.
It was because he stared at me sharply, trampling on my fragile heart, where I was at peace casually.
And speaking coldly… Wet! It’s obviously wet!
“Whoa… So. Who are you really? If you were the real Lilith Belly, there would be no way you could hide here and come in. You would have been kidnapped and imprisoned, or a collaborator of the demons. And if it were a real Lilith Belly, with your current status, you would never be such a monster. They couldn’t make the same armament, and they probably didn’t even have the title of conceptual armament.”
‘Caught! I was caught perfectly!’
At the thorn in Artel’s words, I hastily made an excuse.
“Ha… Haha. Cool and cool here… I can’t just let it go… I can’t!”
At my words, Artel threatened me with increasingly powerful thunderbolts, and I spat out random words.
“Uhhhhh! But I can’t really tell you! You wouldn’t believe me even if I honestly said that I could see the future!?”
“… The future? You said you saw the future?”
“Right! I saw! The future!”
I’ve never seen anything like the future, and I’m not interested in it, but if Artel believes in this bullshit… I was confident enough to lie.
Because my life is more important than anything else.
However, for Artel, this was also a no-brainer.
“You said something funny and fell asleep. Can you believe I’m playing future drips here! You damn original author! I don’t think I’ll recognize you!”
“Kyaaaaagh!?”
Artel picked me up and threw me to the floor, and I slammed against the floor with a delicate scream suitable for a girl.
“Aaaaa! It hurts!”
As I gritted my teeth and glared at the exhilarating pain I felt from my back, I saw Shine Artel smiling.
“Lilith Belly… You are definitely the original author. And you must know the information about this family well now. Now! It’s time to share information!”
Saying that, Artel, who pulled out his sword, began to generate a thunderbolt from his body.
“Ha… Haha. Why don’t you calm down a bit? Why are you being so nasty when we’re between us?”
“…Fuck it!”
Pajijijijik!!!
“Kyaaaaagh!?”
I shuddered as I was electrocuted by the thunderbolt that flew along with Artel’s cry.

Inside the palace. The emperor summoned his servants and the Pope of Helios to understand the current situation.
“The current situation?”
“Yes. First of all, the 1st and 5th Paladin Troops from the Helios Church succeeded in defending the north, and the rest of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Troops are recovering the north. In addition, the Priests are currently working 24 hours a day to protect the soldiers and Paladins. I am helping.”
“Aside from that, there was no more damage than this in the south and west, and it is said that the monsters are currently in a lull.”
“Okay. Then what about the Lilith family?”
“Yes! The Lillit family is currently besieged by demon beasts. But strangely, the demon beasts besieging the Lillit family don’t seem to move to other places or attack people unless they attack first.”
“Also, the demonic beasts that came from the east, centered on the Lilith family, are also slowly retreating as they enter a lull.”
After hearing the words of his servants, the emperor pondered and asked the magician who specialized in witchcraft research by his side.
“Can you understand that this situation is artificial?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. No matter how you look at this situation, there must be someone who summoned the Witchbeasts. Otherwise, this simultaneous flooding and the appearance of top-notch Witchbeasts cannot be explained.”
“I see… Then, the first candidate is the Lilith family’s territory, but it seems to be right… Now we have no choice but to leave it to Shine Artell and the others.”
Saying this makes the emperor seem a little irresponsible, but in fact the emperor has high expectations for Shine Artel.
The emperor had one big worry.
That is, there was no successor to his position.
Although he had two daughters, the first was a perfect knight himself, and the second, although he had recently stood out, was a talent as a politician, and never a talent worthy of a financier called an emperor.
Therefore, the emperor was looking for the best sire to hand over the position of emperor.
At first, he had a hero in mind, but his thoughts gradually shifted towards Shine Artel due to the existence of another world and the appearance of a great strongman named Shine Artel.
Aside from simple strength, Shine Artel has a strong ally, the Shine family, and thinks that if the current head of the Shine family and those who have been loyal to the imperial family are together, they will show great capabilities as a financer.
And for this, he gave the right mission to build a marriage with the princess, albeit dangerous.
And the choice made by the current emperor will be the best choice in the emperor’s life.
