Chapter 37

????

Ifia listened to Amelia's words, turned around in confusion, and saw several tall and burly soldiers standing at the door, each with a serious look on their faces.

Obviously, from the moment Ifia fell, they had followed Amelia.

They witnessed the whole process.

In an instant, Ifia experienced the refreshing sensation of social death, stimulating!

Holding onto the idea that as long as she wasn't embarrassed, others would be…

Ifia forcefully stood still, and Jessica, the fan girl, quickly walked over, her eyes full of admiration for Amelia's figure.

She was just one step away from hearts popping out of her eyes.

Unfortunately, Amelia didn't even glance at her. Following her orders, the soldiers quickly moved forward and soon pulled Medanie, who seemed to be having a seizure, up from the ground.

Medanie, who had been begging for mercy, strangely remained silent at this moment.

She just trembled even more violently.

Seeing that Medanie had been restrained by the soldiers, Ifia curiously spoke up, "Ame… Miss Barlen, may I ask, what did Medanie do wrong?"

When Ifia spoke, she almost accidentally called out Amelia. Jessica, who instantly turned her head with a vigilant gaze, prompted Ifia to quickly change her words.

Well, she couldn't directly say that the two of them were very familiar.

The relationship between her and Amelia hasn't been publicly disclosed; it feels like a clandestine affair.

"Ifia, call me by my name."

However, while Ifia sighed in her heart, Amelia didn't have as many reservations.

When Amelia heard the "Miss Barlen" address, she couldn't help but furrow her brows. Without considering Jessica's shocked expression, she decisively revealed that the two of them were not strangers.

At the same time, she turned to Ifia, coming to stand in front of her, forcefully taking Ifia's hand. Her purple eyes, like dazzling gemstones, were so enchanting that a single glance could bewitch one's soul, making it impossible to refuse.

"Alright, Amelia, I'm curious about what exactly happened."

Ifia couldn't escape the onslaught of Amelia's extraordinary beauty and surrendered directly. She avoided Jessica's intense gaze that seemed to turn into substance, continuing to inquire about the unanswered question.

As for Amelia taking the initiative to hold hands, Ifia didn't find it strange. Girls being close and affectionate with each other was normal, right?

Amelia's hand was soft, and she smelled nice. Ifia didn't mind such intimate gestures.

Back when she was still the son of a wealthy family, her female classmates did everything together. Not only did they hold hands, but they also went to the bathroom in groups.

"Recently, witch divination has become popular in the capital, Dalva. Many nobles have sought Medanie's divination treatment. However, instead of improving, their originally healthy bodies started experiencing problems such as palpitations, insomnia, mental confusion, and severe cases even involved self-harm."

"Coincidentally, some nobles I know also suffered from these symptoms. After seeking help from me, I went to the Imperial Police to seek assistance."

"As a result, after an investigation by the Imperial Police, it was revealed that Medanie was discharged from the Dalva Mental Sanatorium three years ago. We don't know what she went through during that time, but now she has opened this witch divination house."

"Originally, when I found this information, I could have handed it over to the police. However, the undercover police suddenly reported to me that two Pulis Academy female students had entered the divination house… Ifia, you mentioned yesterday that you were going to purchase items on Clifton Street, and Medanie's divination house is here. I couldn't rest easy, so I brought the soldiers here first."

"Fortunately, we arrived in time."

Amelia explained the reasons clearly, leaving Ifia and Jessica shocked.

So, it was still an unlicensed operation by a mentally ill person…

Especially Jessica, who was terrified when recalling Medanie's strange behavior. Fortunately, she brought Ifia along. If she had come alone, it would have been much more dangerous!

Ifia, on the other hand, was speechless. So, it wasn't a case of demon possession!

Well, this was just an ordinary medieval world with no magical elements.

Gods and demons didn't exist!

Otherwise, why bother with missions? She could just lie down and wait for death!

As a mere mortal confronting a demon, there was simply no chance of winning!

However, if that was the case, the system hadn't lied to her just now… Medanie, with a history of mental illness, could use insanity as a defense even if she committed murder. If they retaliated for self-defense, they might end up being extorted for money.

But since the system hadn't lied to her, why was it reluctant to respond?

While Ifia was puzzled, the system silently monitoring the situation breathed a sigh of relief. It thought it might be exposed after this, leading Ifia to suspect that this world was not ordinary.

Thus, in despair, giving up on the mission, continuing to lie down…

Unexpectedly, there was a turn of events, and the villainess unexpectedly turned the situation around!

Truly worthy of being the behind-the-scenes boss!

Ifia and Jessica were just ordinary humans, so they didn't know what had just happened. The system, on the other hand, witnessed everything from start to finish.

When Medanie, possessed by a demon, tried to harm Ifia, the system was thinking of ways to save her.

However, unexpectedly, the villainess left a mark.

When Ifia first met the villainess, in addition to giving her gold coins, the villainess also gave her a round pearl. Ifia treasured it, putting it in a small pouch and later hanging it around her neck.

It was this pearl that instilled fear in the demon and caused it unbearable pain under the suppression of its soul.

Also, due to the pearl being tainted with the aura of other demons, the villainess instantly sensed it.

Afterwards…

The villainess, accompanied by human soldiers, arrived, conveniently fabricating a plausible reason.

With the villainess's identity as the duke's daughter, not only could she turn Medanie into a mentally ill person, but even if she claimed Medanie was a man, she could arrange it seamlessly… One could externally declare a physical transformation from male to female, requiring only a minor surgery.

Even if Ifia wasn't a fool, she probably wouldn't notice anything unusual.

After all, labeling Medanie as mentally ill provided a good explanation for her previous strange behaviors and speech.

At this moment, the system looked at the demon occupying Medanie's body with a pitiful gaze, without even a chance to plead for mercy. It was mercilessly annihilated by the villainess's magic, turning into nothingness.

Seeing this scene, the system felt like its operating program had momentarily halted, as if it saw its fate being exposed by the villainess…

It was thoroughly scared!

After the demon's demise, Medanie herself also regained consciousness.

However, as Medanie faced Amelia right after waking up, her eyes involuntarily widened. Her overly sensitive sixth sense made her feel as if she were being oppressed by endless black mist, unable to breathe.

Medanie could only desperately help herself. She crushed the small clay sculpture hanging at her waist, revealing a silver accessory shaped like a standard long sword.

The next moment, the black mist dispersed somewhat, and the fear diminished accordingly.

However, after this action, it attracted a sidelong glance from Amelia, who looked unexpectedly intrigued.

Things seemed to have become more interesting.

"Demon, you're a demon. I shall represent the gods and eliminate the impurity and evil, never allowing darkness to exist in this world!"

Perhaps with the means to resist as her confidence, Medanie suddenly shouted hoarsely.

At the same time, she threw the silver accessory, the sword-shaped ornament, in her hand, and the target was Amelia!
