Chapter 90: Goodbye black lady!

“Ahm~”

Chew chew chew~

Inside the carriage, Miss Goddess Veil was happily eating the small cake in her hand.

The sweet taste made Veil sigh from the bottom of her heart…

This is so delicious~

Being able to eat something like this suddenly made being dragged into this world by that villain feel like nothing difficult to accept anymore.

But after all, she still had to thank Miss Jenny…

She still remembered when they were about to leave, Jenny said to her…

【Little Veil, if you ever want to eat it, you can come anytime~ I’ll make it for you!】

Aww!

Miss Jenny is such a good person~ (‘ua) A really big good person!

Just as Veil was thinking this and ready to continue enjoying the dessert in front of her…

“Ahm!”

An uninvited guest suddenly stuck their head in and gobbled up the remaining half of the cake, including the strawberry Veil had saved to eat last…

All of it!

All eaten…

“Ahhhh(⊃°A)⊃!!!”

A desperate scream instantly echoed throughout the entire carriage, causing passersby near the Inner City’s Resting Grounds to unconsciously shake their heads slightly.

Sigh…

Did someone just lose a family member?

Such a scream…it must be so heartbreaking…

“Hmm~ the taste really is good…”

The culprit of Miss Goddess Veil’s scream smirked wickedly, licking her lips.

She had originally wanted to get this idiot to locate the target again, to see if she could finally catch the Black Lady this time.

But unexpectedly, this foolish goddess was sneaking food inside the carriage…so naughty~

Phew!

Ileya stretched out her hands and suddenly pinned the still dazed Miss Goddess Veil against the carriage wall!

Slowly moving her face closer with a considerable sense of pressure…

But…

“My…my…my cake.”

The shyness brought by such an intimate act clearly didn’t hit Veil as hard as the cake being stolen did!

She pursed her lips and blankly looked up…

Only to see a bit of white cream on the corner of Ileya’s smirking mouth.

The two were already very close, and Veil instinctively leaned in a little more.

In her eyes was still the image of the lingering cake and the strawberry she wanted to savor last…

Lick~

“Uh…?”

The normally overwhelmingly dominant young lady suddenly froze on the spot.

Her eyes looked a little dazed as she stared at Veil, who looked just as confused.

“Uh…hehe, um…the cake…really is delicious…”

Obviously, the dumb goddess realized what she had done unconsciously.

Her face suddenly flushed red, and she slowly lowered her head…

As for Ileya, she instinctively touched the corner of her mouth, opened her mouth as if to say something,

But then seemed at a loss for words and froze for a few seconds.

Dizzy.

“Let’s go…come down and work.”

Then she only left that sentence before jumping out of the carriage on her own.

“…Oh~”

Hmm…that person…why so cold…huh!?

Ptooey ptooey!

What am I thinking…

I didn’t…didn’t want to get close to her…

Veil shook her head hard and made a face at Ileya’s departing figure!

Nyeh nyeh nyeh~ bad woman!

I’ll smash you!

CE(#)☆↘//

But what she didn’t notice was that on the calm-faced young lady, at the tip of her ear…a strange blush had appeared without anyone realizing.

Tap tap…

Everyone got off the carriage and stood at the gate of the Inner City’s Resting Grounds.

With Ileya openly showing her identity, the gravekeepers didn’t dare to stop them, not even daring to speak.

As a cold wind blew, Veil slowly opened her closed eyes…

Her black pupils seemed to have lost their usual clear foolishness, instead becoming cold and merciless.

“It really is still here. That spot seems to be the tombstone where we met it before!”

Veil pointed a finger, directing them far away.

Whoosh—!

Rhine Arthur was the first to rush out, seemingly wanting to prove something…or perhaps trying to catch something…

Bang!!

Right behind him, Insmouth who had Ileya on his shoulders, and Amisa who melted into a shadowy black form followed.

“Eh? You guys…”

Only the Twin-tailed Maid, the Great Priest, and Miss Goddess Veil remained at the original spot.

Yumina stiffly turned her head, looking at the Great Priest beside her, shrouded in a black cloak.

“Excuse me.”

Though also an extraordinary being, the Great Priest lacked flashy travel skills like the others, so he simply ran swiftly on his short legs and slipped into the cemetery…

“Hey!!”

Yumina stomped her foot angrily!

Damn it!

Damn it!!

She fully understood the young lady didn’t want to drag her into danger…but damn it!

I have to become stronger! I must become stronger!!

“Uh…”

At this moment, Miss Goddess Veil obviously returned to her usual state, blinking her big eyes as she looked at the seemingly angry senior beside her.

“Um~ shall we…just watch the carriage here?”

The pale purple moonlight shone on row after row of tombstones.

The Resting Grounds at night were usually deserted.

But today seemed to be an exception.

Because right now, in front of a certain tombstone, a figure stood quietly.

It was a humanoid wearing a large black veil and a matching long dress, blending almost completely into the dim moonlight…

She stood silently, staring at the tombstone, lost in thought.

Whoosh—!!

But in the next second, the moonlight above was instantly blocked by a shadowy figure!

A deadly aura instantly spread all around.

Yet the Black Lady standing by the tombstone seemed unaware of this…not even lifting her head, she quietly turned around.

Just like last time when everyone found her, she wanted to leave peacefully.

But this time…it was clearly not going to be so easy!

Whoosh!!

In the shadow of the tombstone in front of her, a flash of cold light appeared!

Amisa’s figure struck like a venomous snake that had long lurked here, launching the most direct attack at the perfect moment!

But… clang—!

Silver light flickered, sparks flew in the air…even the deep night momentarily brightened!

“?!”

Amisa, swinging her blade, was slightly stunned!

Her strike—though not at full force and aimed at the shoulder—felt like chopping at solid steel!

Phew!

Failing to land the hit, Amisa followed the assassin’s spirit and immediately retreated with a backflip, landing firmly behind a tombstone several meters away.

Only now did the maid feel a numbness in her tiger’s mouth.

So hard…

Boom!!

As Amisa landed, Insmouth landed as well!

Seeing that they hadn’t stopped the Black Lady’s advance, the black-armored monster casually grabbed a nearby tombstone and growled low, smashing it toward the Black Lady’s head!

“Ugh—!”

Clang!!!

Accompanied by a rotten howl, the bluestone tombstone crashed onto the Black Lady’s head, kicking up a cloud of dust!

However…

Ileya’s expression slightly darkened.

The attack didn’t seem to have the desired effect…because the moment the dust settled, the Black Lady just tilted her head back into place.

Yet…at the spot where the tombstone hit her head…

Ileya saw a moist pale purple…

A crystal?

A gem!

The young lady had originally thought the opponent was like a shadow or mud-like being who could freely change shape or form…

But now it seemed…

That layer of “black” wasn’t an ability at all, but rather a layer of black fuzz covering the crystal!
