Chapter 83 : Just don_t want to lack her lover
Chapter 83 - Just don't want to lack her lover
So, what is the price of defying fate?
The butterfly effect caused a significant shift in the worldline, leading to the two destined heroines, through a series of coincidences, arriving at the same wrong place at the wrong time, thus meeting each other.
This is a scenario that would never occur at this point in the original game's storyline, because at this time, Aesphyra is no match for the future Demon King, Julliana. If the two were to meet, the subsequent plot would be impossible to continue.
Therefore, to ensure the game's plot could proceed, no matter how brain-dead the scriptwriter was, they would never arrange for Julliana and Aesphyra to meet in the early stages.
W̊ е̂ b̈ n̆ о v̇el̆ Е́ n ū m̀ǎ
But now, it's no longer the game's plot dictated by the scriptwriter. No one cares whether it can progress or not; the plot has already gone off the rails, and everything is left to improvisation.
Thus, something completely incomprehensible and unreasonable has happened.

If this were some kind of matchmaking mechanism, it would have been criticized to no end. What kind of matchmaking mechanism is this? What kind of heaven-defying opponent has it matched him with??
Even if it were to balance out his previous encounter with the black-stockinged beauty where he won effortlessly, the price is still too high! The strength of both sides is completely unequal. Even if you called Mirexia and Shikondel, the overpowered sidekicks, it still wouldn't be equal!
Originally, Winnie said this matter had nothing to do with them and that they should leave as soon as possible, but they were directly targeted.
Winnie is now filled with regret, deep regret. Why did he have to set up so many flags for himself earlier? Now it's too late to take them back, and he doesn't know if Julliana heard his earlier remarks.

If she did, it's over; he's going to die even more miserably. She is so ruthless to her own people; wouldn't she be even more ruthless to other races??
What's even more frustrating is that Aesphyra, the only one they can rely on at this moment, remains silent and unresponsive.
Faced with such a situation, Aesphyra remained calm and composed, maintaining the demeanor of the destined protagonist, but Winnie can't stay calm.
He knows all too well the disparity in strength between the two sides. Whether they live or die today depends entirely on Julliana's words; their lives are in the hands of these demons before them.

Alright, Aesphyra still wasn't saying a word, and Winnie felt he can't just stand by and do nothing.
When things were going well, he looked up to Aesphyra; when things were bad, it's up to Winnie.
Ŵēḃn о v̇ ӗ l Е n u m̈а̄
With his silver tongue, he might still be able to negotiate his way out!
He has been honing his eloquence in his daily life, and Winnie feels now is the time to put it to use.
“Ahahaha, good morning, everyone,” Winnie smiled and waved friendly at the demons.
However, awkwardly, no one responded to him. As the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered. Because he spoke up, the demon leaders present maintained a unanimous silence, all staring at the blue-haired male human without a word, the immense pressure falling entirely on Winnie's shoulders.
Aesphyra's gaze also fell on Winnie, seemingly surprised that he would step forward at such a time.
Any creature with a sense of self-preservation would be too scared to make a sound in such a situation. Aesphyra thought Winnie was the type to act tough when he had big brothers and sisters backing him up, but once the support was gone, he would immediately reveal his true colors, cowering like a scaredy-cat.

“........” Winnie glanced at the darkening sky and realized he had misspoken due to nervousness.
This is quite normal. Facing such a lineup, any random high-ranking demon or succubus could crush him with a single stomp. In front of them, he's like a toy, and any primate would be nervous in such a situation.
However, even though he started off on the wrong foot, which is unfavorable for future negotiations, it's not a big deal. Speaking is an art; it requires a sense of humor.
A small mistake won't hinder Winnie's subsequent moves.
“You’ve come a long way; have you eaten?” So, Winnie used a generic opening line, the kind where you're forcing a conversation.
“.......” Still, no one responded to him, or rather, it would be strange if anyone did.
Е̃n̈ ü.m̃ӑ_
“Not yet,” Just when Winnie thought the situation was hopeless, a familiar voice came to his rescue, saving him from the embarrassment of being ignored.
The person who spoke was none other than Julliana.

At this moment, the white fox girl had a bewitching and captivating smile on her face. Just making eye contact with her felt like her wine-red, alluring fox eyes were drawing out one's soul.
“Ah, haven't you eaten? No appetite?” Winnie forced a few laughs. In front of Julliana and the demon leaders, his aura was almost crushed into dust. Nevertheless, he swallowed his saliva and continued to speak.
“Yeah, haven't had much appetite lately,” Compared to her subordinates, Julliana herself seemed quite talkative. Even though the human before her was a nobody who could be obliterated with a single breath, as long as she found him somewhat interesting, she would respond.
You must understand that demons of any significant status view humans as weak ants, not worth communicating with. They could crush a bunch with a single step, and that's indeed the case.
Е n̆um̂а̇
“Oh, no appetite? Have you seen a doctor? Lack of appetite can be a big or small issue; there's a lot to it. I think it's necessary to find out the reason,” Winnie frowned.
Aesphyra, hearing Winnie's chatty remarks, didn't know whether to praise his courage or think he was just making small talk for the sake of it.
Fortunately, the demon queen before them had a unique personality and actually responded to Winnie's words.
As for what the other demon leaders thought of their conversation, no one knows. Their emotions were unreadable, making it impossible to guess their thoughts.

“No need, it's already cured,” Julliana's smile deepened.
“Ah? Cured? When?” Winnie was taken aback. “When was that?”
Ѐ n um̀ а̄_.і̇d
“Just now, when I saw the two of you.”
“Ah??” Winnie tilted his head, feeling a chill run down his spine.
“Seeing the two of you, especially you, young man, my appetite suddenly improved,” Julliana's smile was chilling, like a beautiful but poisonous flower.
Wait, you're a nearly hundred-year-old granny calling me 'young man'??
But that's obviously not the point. The point is, this vixen seems to want to eat people!
What the hell, how is he supposed to respond to that??

“Oh, come on, we're civilized people here; we don't do that sort of thing,” Winnie forced a smile.
“Miss Fox, you're as beautiful as a celestial being, like a fairy from the divine realm. Surely you wouldn't do something so tasteless, right?”
“Hmm? But according to your records, isn't it the demons' nature to eat humans?” Julliana feigned confusion.
“No, no! Besides, it depends on the situation,” Winnie took a couple of steps closer to Aesphyra.
“Hehe, that's right. You stunning and elegant fox ladies, to be honest, we're students from the Carillian Academy, just passing by here. Unfortunately, we witnessed... Oh no, we accidentally witnessed this scene. Sorry, everyone, we didn't mean to get involved in your internal affairs; we were just passing by.”
“This matter has absolutely nothing to do with us! Our presence here is purely coincidental!” Winnie explained with a smile.
W е̇ b n оv е̇l E̊n̄ ú mӑ
You don't hit a smiling person, right?
“Oh? Young man, what do you mean by that? Only the foxes are beautiful, so are we just a bunch of ugly old hags?” Before Winnie could finish, someone from the succubus side was displeased. A succubus duchess spoke up teasingly.

“Pfft.” Then, before Winnie could explain, a faint chuckle came from the fox side. No one knew who laughed, but everyone heard it.
“Tsk!” The succubus duchess who spoke glanced at the fox side and clicked her tongue. If Julliana weren't present, she would have argued with those annoying fox spirits.
It's clear that there's some tension between the fox spirits and the succubi. However, since they share the same queen, they are united under Juliana, and no one dares to voice dissent.
“No, no! Of course not. The succubus ladies are also stunning and charming,” Winnie wiped his sweat. He didn't expect to have to balance things out in such a situation.
Е n ú m̈ а̂
He hadn't anticipated that there would be discord between the fox spirits and the succubi.
“Well, tell us, from a human's perspective, who is more beautiful, us or those fox spirits?” The succubus lady seemed to find it amusing to tease this delicate blue-haired human boy and continued to smile and joke.
Damn it!
Winnie froze. He felt that in this moment, he had the full attention of both the fox ladies and the succubus ladies, all waiting for his conclusion.

What a loaded question! Isn't this putting him on the spot?
Winnie felt his brain overheating, completely unable to process this.

“Ah, well, from my perspective, both are unique and have their own charm! Equally beautiful, yes!” Winnie had no choice but to balance things out.
“Huh? What? You mean we can't compare to those fox spirits?” Immediately, a succubus duchess was displeased.
“No, no...”
“Shamelessness has become a selling point,” The fox spirits didn't remain silent either. Their counterattack was much more subtle compared to the succubi's directness. A fox spirit with a pipe, exuding an air of elegance, said meaningfully.
“Hey, who are you calling shameless?” The succubus duchess glared at the pipe-holding fox spirit.
“Whoever responds, I guess,” The fox spirit wasn't intimidated, her voice steady with a hint of allure and charm, her lips slightly curved.

“Scarlett, are you looking for a fight again?” The succubus duchess growled.
“If you want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone like last time,” Scarlett, holding the pipe, chuckled lightly.
As for Julliana's reaction to her subordinates seemingly about to start an internal conflict...
Well, she seemed completely indifferent, even a bit eager for chaos.
This was a kind of confidence, not worrying at all about whether her subordinates would fight.
With Julliana present, the two sides would likely only exchange words. Anyone who dared to actually fight would learn the consequences of ignoring their queen.
Ėn̈ū ḿ а̃
The sleeping Alice was a prime example; she will never wake up.
Sure enough, the two sides just glared at each other and then let it go, not daring to disrespect their queen.

“Everyone, what I want to say is that your internal affairs are none of our business. You're here to handle your matters, and we're here because of the academy's practical assessment task. We all have our reasons,” Winnie continued.
“Ladies, we're all on the same side here. You see, this has nothing to do with us, and we didn't mean to disturb you. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, we should head back to report. We won't disturb you any longer,” With that, Winnie gave Aesphyra a look, urging her to follow him and leave before the other side could respond.
In their eyes, the two of them were insignificant, of little value, almost negligible. Winnie had emphasized their status as Carillian Academy students to convey a message: dealing with them would bring no benefits and might even cause unnecessary trouble.
Killing them would be easy, but they were backed by the Carillian Academy. Killing them would go against Julliana's wishes and could be seen as an invitation to war.
Еn u m а̄
How would the Carillian Academy react then?
There's no need for that, really no need.
“Hey, you fool, scared stiff? Why are you just standing there? Let's go! Can't you see these beautiful ladies are letting us leave? What are you staring at?” Seeing Aesphyra not moving, Winnie glared at her. If it weren't for her aversion to men, he would have already grabbed her hand and dragged her away.
“Alright, let's go. This isn't the time to admire beautiful women! Our lives are at stake!” Winnie even leaned in and whispered in Aesphyra's ear.

Is this Playgirl idiot so mesmerized by all these beautiful ladies that she's lost her mind??
Seeing Aesphyra still unresponsive, as if her brain had crashed, Winnie had no choice but to try to drag her away.
Е̊ñ_ù_mã
Damn it, doesn't she know how much pressure he's under??
The pressure is immense!
“Hold on,” However, before Winnie could pull Aesphyra away, Julliana suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Winnie's heart sank.
“Esteemed Queen, is there anything else? Haha, we humans have good relations with both your fox spirits and succubi. It's fate that we've met. Isn't it a coincidence? Even if we don't become friends, let's not harm the goodwill,” Winnie quickly said.
“Miss Silver-haired Human, the sword in your hand, if I'm not mistaken, is the Sword of the Saint, right?” This time, Julliana didn't pay attention to Winnie but instead smiled at Aesphyra and asked.

“......” Winnie's expression froze as he looked at the holy sword in Aesphyra's hand.
At this point, answering yes or no was meaningless. She asked because she recognized the sword's origin at a glance.
“Haha, don't mind it, kids playing around with it,” Winnie laughed, trying to brush it off.
“This sword can only be wielded by the [Hero],” Julliana's lips curved. “You are the future Hero, the one destined to fight me to the death?”
“......” Winnie swallowed, his lips trembling.
Aesphyra, why did you have to keep holding onto the holy sword??
Ӗnum̊ а
But this can't be blamed on her; everything happened too suddenly. Who could have anticipated this?
Aesphyra had been holding the holy sword for self-protection, which was perfectly reasonable.

But...
Now, things are really troublesome.
Winnie could read the intent in Julliana's smile as she looked at Aesphyra.
It was the intent to eliminate the root of the problem.
Е ňu m а̇ .і̃_ḋ
“Oh no, it's a misunderstanding! We're all on the same side here, Queen! This really isn't the holy sword!” Winnie hurriedly explained.
“Blue-haired student,” Julliana smiled and called out.
“Ah, yes!”
“You're quite an interesting human. I'll give you a chance. If you leave now, you can live,” Julliana said with a smile.

“Ah! Really? That's great, thank you so much, Queen! I'll always remember your kindness! Hey, you, you're such a fool, always low on IQ, now you're even drooling after being cured! What are you staring at?? Hurry up and thank the Queen with me!” Winnie glared at Aesphyra.
He deliberately belittled Aesphyra to reduce her threat level in Julliana's eyes.
Е̌ńu m̌ä. і̃ d̀
But the effect was quite limited.
“No, student, I think you misunderstood me,” Julliana said meaningfully. “Only you can leave here.”
“And your level of interest is quite limited. Don't test my patience.”
Seeing that his evasiveness wasn't working, Winnie froze, then forced an awkward smile.
“Hehehe, Queen, you're funny. As you can see, this silver-haired fool is scared stiff by you. She hasn't said a word since the beginning. Please, don't scare her anymore, or she might end up drooling even after being cured.”
“Besides, look, if you let me go and I return, the academy will definitely ask me where my partner is, right?” Winnie said with a look of helplessness. “I’ll have to tell the truth, won’t I? But that might cause trouble for you all, right? You probably don’t want to start a conflict with humans now, do you?”

“It’s fine. Just tell your instructor that it was Julliana who kept her here,” Julliana narrowed her fox-like eyes, which gleamed with a dangerous light.
“Winnie, you should go,” Aesphyra interrupted Winnie, who was about to say something more. She showed no other emotion, remaining as calm as ever, as if everything was under control.
“Huh? What? Where can I go? Are you crazy?...” Winnie whispered to Aesphyra. “It’s at least a week’s journey back to the academy. If I leave, there’s no one within a hundred miles who can save you. Even if I find someone, by the time I return, you’ll be nothing but ashes!”
“Who asked you to come back?” Aesphyra looked at Winnie with a strange expression. “Why would you come back and interrupt my date with such a beautiful fox spirit?”
“Are you serious??” Winnie laughed in exasperation, unable to believe she could joke at such a time. “Fine, then I’ll just leave. Why waste all this breath? I’m not sticking around for you!”
“That’s for the best. Don’t come back out of pity later,” Aesphyra teased.
W̃е̇ b̀ n̈ оv́е l Еnů m a
“Who would pity you?? I hope that vixen punches you into a real dwarf nut, tsk!” Winnie scoffed.
“You fool, you never change. Do you even know who they are??... Whatever, since I can leave, why should I stay? Better you than me. I’m out of here. Take care of yourself!” With that, Winnie turned and walked past Aesphyra.

However, after a few steps, just out of sight, as expected, Julliana kept her word and didn’t trouble him.
Winnie turned back, his expression complex as he looked behind him.
He knew Aesphyra had deliberately said those things to make him leave before Julliana changed her mind.
Better to save one than lose both.
W è b ǹo v̊еl Е̄.n ŭ m̄ а
Tsk, that white-haired dwarf nut.
Does she think she’s being cool by doing this??
Winnie lowered his head, pursing his lips.
Of course, he wanted to just walk away. After all, survival was his top priority.

But how could he let Aesphyra hog all the glory?
Besides, he owed her so many favors.
Е́ n̊ ū m̃ а̌ . і́ d̃
Should he go back and save her?
Go back and save the destined heroine who was supposed to kill him in the original plot.
But the original plot was just that, the original plot. To Winnie, it was a possibility from a worldline that never happened, now feeling incredibly distant.
To be honest, at some point, the original image of Aesphyra from the game had completely vanished, replaced by the flesh-and-blood Aesphyra he knew now.
The Aesphyra he knew was not the same as the one-dimensional character from the game. He had realized that long ago.
She was incredibly annoying, always teasing him, always mocking him, always playing pranks on him, and loved seeing him get defensive and stubborn.

But after pranking him, she would always find a reason to help him. When he needed assistance, she never hesitated to lend a hand, saving him multiple times in critical moments.
Although she never said it, he knew she had been taking care of him all along.
And the reason she helped him was simply because she knew he wasn’t a bad person.
That was enough. That Aesphyra was willing to help any kind person without needing a reason.
That alone made her vastly different from the Aesphyra in the original game, who cared about nothing but flirting and had no regard for anyone else.
Winnie suddenly remembered a line he had read in a holy book.
En̆ ům̌ a
‘When you are locked in a fierce battle, on the brink of death, there will always be someone silently praying for you. They believe in everyone, believe in the existence of selfless love in the world. Even if they meet their end, until their blood runs dry, nothing can shake their faith.’
Maybe, just maybe, he could deceive himself into thinking that Aesphyra, as the destined heroine, was blessed by fate and would be fine.

But he couldn’t.
Winnie let out a heavy sigh.
He shouldn’t be thinking so much.
He was just a former villain trying to become an irrelevant NPC. Even if he didn’t do evil, the lives of others were none of his concern. Protecting himself, ensuring his survival without any or blessings, as long as he didn’t cross into the realm of ‘evil,’ he should do whatever it took.
W е̊ b̂n̊o v̄ ё_l̃ Ė num ä_
But when did it all start?
He began to think more and more, so much that he could no longer act as he once did.
