A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 5] Chapter 8
[Vol. 5] Chapter 8: Just a Demon
Ifia hadn’t even reacted yet when the immersive plot fragment took effect.
She found herself surrounded by darkness, and the next moment, her vision returned, only to discover that she was in a different scene.
Looking down at the familiar cobblestone street, then glancing around at the surrounding shops, Ifia quickly confirmed that this was the main street leading from Darwa City to the palace!
She remembered it very clearly from her previous trips back and forth.
At this moment, the street was bustling with activity, but Ifia, who had just experienced heartbreak, couldn’t blend into this lively atmosphere. Instead, she felt despondent, wanting to squat in a corner and draw mushrooms with a stick.
(???)
Being deceived and heartbroken by Amelia was bad enough, but even the system had to join in on bullying her!
Curse them!
Did she, Ifia, look so easy to bully?!
That despicable system.
Just as she refused, it announced the mission as failed, and then hurriedly threw her into a random character plot fragment.
Ifia strongly suspected that the system and Amelia were in cahoots!
Otherwise, why would the forgiveness mission be immediately released when she had just exposed Amelia’s deceitful lies?
But considering how the system always seemed to enjoy releasing tasks related to Amelia, Ifia’s fists clenched with anger!
However, remembering how the system used to cower in fear in front of Amelia, not even daring to speak… If they were really colluding, the system wouldn’t be so afraid, right?!
She used to naively believe that system tasks could improve her friendship with Amelia and make their relationship better.
However, now that everything was revealed, the cursed system just wanted her to pursue Amelia.
Make Amelia fall in love with her!
As for why the system was doing this…
Ifia didn’t know.
After the system failed to give her a “saving the world” mission, it immediately changed to the tasks that pursue Amelia… Even if Amelia’s true identity is a demon, it’s not like she’s going to casually destroy the world!
Just a demon…
What could they do?
As Ifia pondered the true purpose of the cursed system, the scene before her suddenly blurred. She had experienced this a few times before and knew it was the plot time rapidly shortening.
When the scene around Ifia returned to normal, she found herself still standing on the street.
The plot time hadn’t shortened much, the sky was still bright, but instead of being in the crowd as before, she was now standing on the roof tiles. The bustling sounds of the crowd on the street still echoed.
The black cat napping on the roof, very familiar, was none other than Amelia’s black cat, Asmodeus.
It seems that this time, the random character turned out to be a cat!
The height of two floors wasn’t particularly high, allowing Ifia to look down and see the crowded street below. People were cheering and waving bouquets in excitement.
“Miss Barlen, you’re so handsome! I love you!”
“Miss Barlen, please look at me~”
“Congratulations to Miss Barlen for repelling the neighboring army and bringing great victory to the Sith Empire!!!”
“Hahaha, Miss Barlen is amazing, may the Sith Empire be blessed!”
As Ifia looked around observing her surroundings, unexpectedly, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the street. Then, the few words Ifia least wanted to hear right now entered her ears, causing her face to immediately fall.
(•??•?)
It seemed like she just heard the name of a villain!
Ah, even though she was already in a plot fragment, why did she still have to encounter Amelia?!
How infuriating!
Ifia raised her hands to cover her head, her cheeks puffed up in frustration. Then, she squatted down on the spot, her face filled with an expression of sorrow and resentment, emitting an aura of grievance.
However, hearing some key words made Ifia curious nonetheless.
Has the Sith Empire been at war with other countries?
Clearly, in reality, the Sith Empire had decent relations with neighboring countries. They even exchanged goods for trade on a regular basis. How did they suddenly end up in conflict?
It really makes one curious about what happened in the original storyline!
However, because Ifia was experiencing the original storyline in a mysterious soul-like state, she couldn’t communicate with others, and she couldn’t stray too far from the black cat Asmodeus. So, she could only hope that passersby could provide more information.
Secondly, she curiously glanced at the street.
Of course, she wasn’t looking to see Amelia, just curious.
She didn’t want to know if Amelia, who had experienced war, was doing well!
Whether she was injured or anything…
It’s not like she wanted to know if Amelia got injured or not.
She just wanted to take a look.
Hmph!
As Ifia thought this way, Amelia Barlen also appeared.
A pure black helmet concealed her silver long hair, but the black light armor she wore couldn’t hide her figure.
Undergoing the bloody baptism of war had made her even sharper and more indifferent. She seemed as sharp as a drawn blade, exuding an intimidating aura that made people not dare to approach.
At this moment, she rode into the city on a tall black horse, leading the way, followed by a group of soldiers with powerful momentum, marching in unison.
The people waiting around the street, upon seeing this, cheered even louder with admiring eyes!
This made Ifia sourly think…
Hmph, even if someone looks handsome and attractive, they could still be deceptive.
Moreover, Amelia Barlen isn’t even human!
If these people knew she was a demon, they would definitely run faster than anyone else.
“Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Ahriman is so mighty! Truly worthy of being the great lord served by me, Asmodeus!”
Just as Ifia silently muttered to herself, the black cat napping suddenly spoke up.
This startled Ifia.
She then incredulously turned her head to look at the black cat, never expecting Amelia’s cat to be anything but ordinary, actually speaking human language…
Wait a minute, served?
Could this black cat also be a demon?
As Ifia stared at the black cat, trying to figure out what it was, Asmodeus didn’t continue lounging around. It quickly stood up, stretched lazily, then swayed its tail and jumped down from the roof.
For it, a height of two floors was completely effortless.
But it scared Ifia so much that her face turned pale, experiencing the thrill of being forced to jump off a building.
Because she couldn’t stray too far from the random character, she followed from the rooftop to the street. As Asmodeus moved, she also moved, until she found herself at the front row.
As if her soul was passing through walls, she passed through the excited cheering crowd and just stood still.
The sound of hoofbeats followed closely, getting closer and closer to her, giving Ifia a bad feeling in her heart.
When Ifia slowly raised her head, she saw Amelia riding a horse, quickly approaching her.
Looking at the expressionless Amelia up close made Ifia feel upset. She remembered being foolishly deceived, and whether in reality or in plot fragments, she didn’t want to see Amelia!
?( ? ? ? )?
Just as Ifia was about to turn and leave, Amelia, who was riding forward, suddenly pulled the reins.
The horse stopped right in front of Ifia.
