TMTNO - Chapter 35



“Is Lily dying? Why?”

Yuno's eyes widened in surprise.

“I was just asking.”

“What the hell is trying to kill Lily?”

“That’s not it. I’m human too, so I’ll die someday.”

“Lily is a god. Then you won’t die.”

I asked something useless.

No, I really won't die? Or maybe I won't age?

After a while, Yuno muttered in a very small voice.

“...If Lily dies, I will destroy this world.”

Ding dong dang dong!

It is the correct answer for the heroine.

I don't know what the intermediate process was like, but the resulting answer is the same.

There was a time when the heroine was sick for a while, and at that time, Yuno said this.

“If you go wrong, Titi, I'll wipe this world off the face of the earth.”

The reason I don't like the nickname 'Lily' is that it feels similar to the female protagonist's nickname, 'Titi'.

The heroine, Titiana.

This wasn't the original name, but it was changed to the name used here after coming to this world.

The male protagonists called her Titi.

...Why do I keep checking this?

If the answer coming out of Yuno's mouth was different from what I expected, would it erase one of my plans, 'escape from here'?

If I'm not the heroine, if I'm not the heroine, if they want me to be...

A bitter smile came to my face.

I stroked my beautiful blonde hair, and Yuno brought her cheek to mine.

"Don't even think about going anywhere, Lily. If you do, I'll lock you in the Magic Tower for the rest of your life."

Yuno was good at talking in a deaf voice.

***

I drank two liters of water containing Yuno's magic power every day.

After drinking it for a full week, I had Yuno test me for magical power.

“...Lily, there is no magic in your body.”

"What?"

“In some ways, it’s a great ability, Lily.”

Yuno's cheeks were very flushed.

"I can't even feel a trace of the magic passing through. It's like Lily is expelling the magic from her body!"

A wizard standing nearby intervened with sparkling eyes.

"Shall I try my magic power? I'll see if it accumulates in other people's magic power too!"

“Do you want to die?”

Yuno, who had suddenly become cold, glared at the wizard.

“You dare to let my Lily consume your magic?”

Yuno, who was hugging me tightly, looked like he was going to kill him at any moment, and I pinched his soft cheeks tightly.

“Don’t say such cruel things?”

"Yes."

Yuno, who had quickly become quiet, nodded, and I motioned for the wizard to go quickly.

The wizard gave a grateful look and quickly left.

I had forgotten because Yuno was acting like a dog, but Magic Tower Master's personality was quite eccentric.

“Hmm, this will make it difficult to learn magic.”

I thought I could develop some kind of ability, but is it really impossible?

Yuno notices that my disappointment is clearly evident.

“I’ll try to make it so that Lily can learn magic somehow.”

He grabbed my hand tightly and shouted.

“If there’s something that can’t be done, then make it happen. For Lily’s sake!”

As expected, the persistent magician.

Who made this?

Yeah, me.

You did a rare job.

Yuno was surprised by this first and gave me various kinds of magical items.

These are things that have nothing to do with running away or escaping.

“If you place the magic stone here like this, voila.”

“Wow! Wow!”

It's fireworks!

Colorful fireworks flew through the air and exploded.

"Is it okay to do this inside the tower? What if there's a fire?"

“Don’t worry, if there’s a fire, the water will come out on its own.”

Well, since it's a place where they often burn things while experimenting, that kind of thing would be okay.

Yuno took advantage of the opportunity to hug my waist and kiss me.

He looks at me with a look of rapture as he quickly falls down, perhaps out of breath.

“Lily, we-”

"-no."

“Why? Why do you always say no?”

Yuno, with tears welling up in his eyes, was beautiful. When he took off his glasses, his moist eyelashes were revealed.

Oh my, how did you know I was weak in this kind of thing?

“Lily.”

“I told you not to!”

Yuno's face flushed brightly as I shouted angrily, twisting both of his soft cheeks before falling on his face.

...I’m telling you not to like things like this...

“Lily, please pull my cheeks again.”

Now it was me who wanted to cry.

But my hands were desperately grabbing and twisting Yuno's cheek.

“Oh, that’s good. Do it harder.”

I sighed at the sight of Yuno enjoying the pain with his angelic face, but held it in.

Yuno suddenly thrust his face in, asking me to pull his cheeks until my fingers hurt, and I couldn't do it anymore.

“Just a moment, Lily.”

“I told you not to do it?”

“Other than that, let’s find out why your body has no magic power.”

The golden eyes flashed ominously.

His bright smile made him look the most innocent in the world, but a dark aura seemed to emanate from behind him.

The aura of a mad wizard trying to uncover a symptom the world has never seen before.

“First, I will examine it by directly applying my magic power.”

Yuno just pressed our lips together, and a cool breeze entered my body.

I also wondered why my body was like this, so I cooperated obediently.

It was hard to stay in one position, so I started to tremble, and Yuno held me tightly as if telling me not to move.

The musk scent I felt from him, wrapping his arms around my shoulders and waist, made me feel refreshed.

Dietrich smells like baby powder, and Juno smells like musk.

Who said this?

Yeah, me.

After a long time, Yuno parted his lips and furrowed his brow.

“Lily’s body has an ordinary structure.”

"Yes?"

“Yes. Magic power can’t increase, but it’s not like you can’t accumulate magic power either...”

Suddenly, Yuno got up from his seat and snapped his fingers, causing a book to fly out from the bookshelf.

Wow, that was just cool.

I wanted to do something like that, too.

“This... This isn’t it. This isn’t it either.”

Yuno's face seemed to contort as if he hadn't found what he was looking for, but then he quickly returned to smiling.

“As expected, Lily is amazing.”

This time again, what?

“I thought there was no riddle in the world I couldn’t solve, but here it is.”

I never thought I'd hear this line here.

A story similar to Yuno's confession to the female protagonist.

But unlike the heroine who was spending a hot night with him, I felt like I was going to dismantle and explore, so I slightly pulled back.

“Before that, please do something about Dietrich.”

“I think we can resolve the Commander’s problem soon.”

As if it weren't an empty promise, Yuno's story became reality over the weekend.

***

“Take this medicine?”

“Yes. It won’t completely eliminate the symptoms, but it may increase the interval between attacks.”

On the day when Shish and Dietrich had gathered, Yuno handed Dietrich a yellowish-blue potion.

Dietrich was reluctant, but took the drug anyway.

“Cough.”

Dietrich, who had taken the medicine, fell to his knees.

The giant knight commander clutched his chest in pain, but Yuno simply stared at him with inorganic eyes.

“Dietrich? Yuno, why is Dietrich like this?”

“Just a moment, Lily.”

As I approached and tried to grab Dietrich, Yuno hugged me from behind.

“If you get closer, other variables may arise.”

Finally, Dietrich began to vomit black blood.

No way, Yuno.

So the solution to the Knight Commander's problem was to kill him?

I keep forgetting because he laughs harmlessly like a golden retriever, but Yuno's personality is eccentric and sensitive. He has no moral compass.

It's not that he kills anyone like Shish, but he doesn't feel any pity when others die.

“Dietrich!”

“It’s okay, Lily.”

“Is this the way that man will die?”

I frowned as Shish asked with his crimson eyes sparkling.

“Cough, ugh.”

Dietrich, who had been vomiting more black blood for a while, staggered to his feet.

"This guy...!"

He drew his sword and tried to cut down Yuno, but was blocked by a golden curtain.

“You pulled out your sword in front of Lily? Lily would be surprised.”

With an irritated flick of Yuno's wrist, Dietrich collapsed to the floor, as if pressed down by an invisible hand.

Of course, the usual Dietrich wouldn't be easily fooled, but he looked quite troubled now.

The Sword Master even vomited blood, so that says it all.

“Yuno.”

As I pull hard on his golden hair, the wizard looks as if he might faint from joy at any moment.

“Explain.”

“When I looked into it before, it seemed like the problem with the Knight Commander was due to the arrangement of his magical power.”

To change that, he put his magic power into the drug, and the new magic power entered his body, causing that phenomenon to occur for a while.

Somehow, the potion was yellow.

Shish, who was standing next to him, looked at Dietrich who was spitting blood, and asked a question.

“Then he won’t die?”

"Yes."

“That’s a shame.”

Shish let out a light sigh as if he really felt sorry, and then rubbed his nose against my head.

“Just wait a moment, and the drug will be concentrated on the problematic area.”

“Then? What next?”

“The problem Lily was worried about will be solved.”

“I see,” I nodded, and an ominous feeling ran down my spine.

“Yuno.”

"Yes."

“Dietrich, are you going to miss that... important part?”
