I Favor the Villainess

"Are you...?"

"Hmm, it doesn't look like it's completely solved.Looks like you're halfway there. "

From the uniform, it seems that the woman is probably related to the academy, but I don't recognize her.

Medium flesh, medium back, medium long hair, no distinctive appearance.

She asked Lily with her gaze, but she also shakes her head.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, a little wild. As long as we put out the sparks as soon as possible."

"Nah, I don't know what you're talking about, but please stay away from me!"

Lily revealed her vigilance.

I don't understand a woman at all, but for some reason I have red flags in my head.

There's something wrong with this opponent.

I took out my wand.

"Lily, behind me."

"What are you talking about!Mr. Ray, please stay back!You're still sick!? "

Lily also took out her wand.

I didn't seem to bring a dagger because I was at a royal party.

"It's about getting along. If you keep forgetting everything, you'll be happy."

The woman chuckled with joy.

"You said you'd forgotten.I guess I forgot something, huh?Are you sure you're the one who stole my memory? "

"Yeah, definitely. When I searched for the best magic to tamper with your memory, there was just one good thing, but the hate and the user were incapable of resurrecting.I had a hard time collecting the implied magic data. "

The woman shrugs her shoulders.

"Implicit magic means... are you related to Saras?"

"Oops, your mouth slipped.But no, I'm not related to Saras-Lilium.However, you must have used the implied magic of the Saras-Lilium.Although the data collection was incomplete and the call was bad. "

Suras again?

They will disturb us everywhere.

But didn't she just say he couldn't get up again?

I hear Mr. Dollar took him down.

"It's convenient for the mastermind to come down here.If I take you down, I can get my memory back, right? "

"Yes, I will. But I'm not good at rough things.So let me use a tangled hand. "

That said, the woman's eyes glowed suspiciously.

The line of sight is facing - Master Lily!

"Kh... Lily!?"

……

Lily made me a wingman.

She is as powerful as she looks.

I hear he trained quite a bit during his pilgrimage immediately after the revolution.

Pilgrimage...?

No, she should have been with me forever...

Memories are confusing.

"Well, Ray-Taylor. Now, forget it completely.I don't know about Claire François. "

――

As the name came to my ears, there was an explosion of memory in me.

Immediately after the reincarnation, I became a maid, a popular movement, a scene on the balance of love, a vacation, and then...

Time!

"Oh, did you remember? Sometimes I just think about eternal love."

"I am not the Devil!"

"It's the same. It's time for you to go the wrong way.If I'm in charge, don't worry. "

Time said with a cool face.

You can't leave him like this.

But how?

"Now, forget everything. The implication is that the analysis is complete.You will never remember Claire François again. "

"This... ah...!"

"Don't worry. You've worked hard enough.Live a peaceful life with Lily Lillium. "

The eyes of time begin to emit light.

At the same time, my vision is twisting.

I won't forget... I won't forget...!

I can't believe I lost my memories with Claire!

I try wisely to keep my consciousness shut, but gradually my head gets bogged down.

* giggle *... as it is...

"Resistance is useless. It's just going to take so long... gu...!?"

Oh, my sight is back.

I... haven't lost my memory.

I remember Claire clearly.

"Ray-san...? That...? Why am I...?"

"Dear Lily! Good. I'll explain later.I'll hold her. "

"Ha, yes!"

Lily and I pushed the unresponsive woman's arm down to the ground.

"Is this... Dollar-François's magic dream...?Because I made the suggestion perfect, the activation conditions were... I see... it was a rough one. "

While distorting his face in agony, Time murmured something.

"Conceptualize, time"

"Remember, Ray-Taylor?This human being is nothing but a dependent age for me.It's impossible to catch me. Bye. "

That said, Time closed his eyes and fainted.

"Kh...."

"What do you mean, Mr. Ray?"

"This is the mastermind. He can possess a variety of people, so it makes no sense to take this woman."

"Mastermind...? Who the hell was that?"

"Explain it for a long time."

Now that I remember everything, there is only one thing I have to do.

Get Claire back from time and take him down.

"Then once you get home..."

"I'm sorry, I can't do that - no, I don't want to."

"... Mr. Ray?"

"I promised. When we leave, the four of us will be together."

"... that's not... Lily, is it?"

Lily chuckled.

"I'm sorry."

"That's all right, then let's open it tonight.Let me talk to you again tomorrow. "

"Yes. If possible, the Battle of the Devil... No, I would like to talk to everyone who participated in the Battle of the Three Devils.Can you collect it? "

"I think that's... a little difficult.Everyone is busy with post-war processing.Tonight's celebration is the exception. "

"... is that so?"

"Ah, but why don't you write to me?Ray is no longer a hero.You'll read it as a priority, and then... "

Well then it's too late!

I accidentally roughed up my voice.

"... Ray-san..."

"I'm sorry, Lily, but we need to get Claire out of here as soon as possible...What kind of eyes Claire is being exposed to while I'm doing this..... "

We don't choose the means to do this - it's time to do something like erase Claire's memory from people all over the world.

I don't know what Claire is doing.

With regret that I had forgotten my beloved, hostility to time, and anxiety about Claire's safety, I could manage.

It was a soft hug that gave me a refreshing drink of negative emotions.

"Dear Lily...?"

"Mr. Ray, please calm down first.Let's think about what we need to do in turn.I know what it's like to be impatient, but it's not like Ray's usual.Well, then, things that work don't work either. "

She was more than a little Lily around, but she was like a mother to calm me down.

A long time ago, when I had just dropped out of school, I remembered what my mother did to me.

Unexpectedly, tears fell.

"I... forgot...!I should've never forgotten...!I... forgot about Claire...! "

"Yes... yes..."

"I have to go and help... I don't know anything...!If time is serious, I may never see Claire again...! "

"It's okay... it's okay..."

I bumped into Lily with my protruding thoughts.

From Lily's point of view, it's like her boyfriend suddenly said something she doesn't know.

Besides, she calls the name of a woman who is not herself.

There's no way I'm not hurt.

Still, she accepted everything about me.

"Ray-san, I'm sure you'll be fine. Let's do what we can.Lily helps.Now it's Lily's turn to help Ray. "

She looked me in the face and laughed, and I thought she was indeed a saint.

Although she is not usually reliable, her essence is her strength.

Until I settled down, Lily consoled me.

"... sorry, I'm disturbed."

"Fufu, I can't believe Lily could see you like this."

"Um, this thing with Claire...."

"Fufu, I know. It's a secret."

"I'm sorry."

No, I don't think it's force majeure, but it's kind of bad.

"Please tell me tomorrow.Claire-Ray's loved one. "

"Yes"

"Let's talk to the Pope, too.I'm sure the Pope will help you. "

"Yes"

Lily continued to encourage me until I broke up at the crossroads.

By the time I got back to the hospital room, my feelings were completely calm.

"Dear Lily... thank you"

Someday I'll have to repay her.

We need to get Claire back.

I fell deeply asleep renewing my determination.
