Chapter 89 Liliana longs to become stronger! (2)
"Eh? Teacher, don't you suspect that I'm lying? After all, even I feel that this matter is a bit suspicious..."
Liliana felt a little bit unbelievable and asked.
"It's indeed suspicious, but if it happened in Illya Arya, it wouldn't be a strange thing."
"What does it mean?"
Michelle's answer made Liliana feel a little confused.
"The Rift World is far more complicated than you think. Maybe it's the ghost inside that deliberately guided you, little Lily, to find me."
"Little Lily... Wait, wait a minute, does Illya and Alya have a ghost?"
Although I was also concerned about Michelle's sudden change of address.
But Liliana's attention was still distracted by the word "ghost" and she began to feel scared.
"Little Lily, are you afraid of ghosts? You're really cute, just like Violet... But don't worry, ghosts are just metaphors. At least I've never really met one."
Michelle replied with a shrug.
“Situations similar to what you are experiencing, little Lily, occasionally occur on Illya’s campus, especially in the main castle.
But because no one knows who did it, everyone likes to call the mastermind of these events the ghost of Illya Arya, not that there are really undead ghost monsters in the main castle. "
“Is that so? That’s good…”
Liliana breathed a sigh of relief.
"Pfft, you are really cute. Although you, little Lily, are not a child who would talk nonsense, but my identity~"
Michelle raised her finger and spoke in a slightly more serious tone.
"I know, I will keep it strictly confidential!"
"That's no problem. Let's stop here for now. Let me know why you suddenly want to become stronger, little Lily. As far as I know, you are not the kind of person who is proud of your strength, right?"
“This I…”
Liliana hesitated.
"I want to have enough strength to protect the people who are important to me."
"Hmm~ The important person, do you mean Al-kun? Or little Rose?"
Liliana did not answer and fell silent.
To be honest, she was not sure how much of what Edward recorded would actually happen.
After all, most of the events that occurred during the school term do not correspond to the content in the notes.
But Liliana was afraid of what might happen, what if something like that really happened...
(If Rose-sister really had an accident, Al would definitely… things could really turn out to be the worst. I can’t let that happen no matter what.)
“Well, forget it. You’re just like Violet, you keep everything to yourself. But as your mentor and life mentor, I still advise you not to take on everything by yourself.”
Seeing Liliana remained silent, Michelle sighed helplessly.
She admonished, sipping her iced drink.
"If you are in any trouble or danger, it's okay to ask Al for help. If it's him, he will definitely lend you a hand, right?"
"No... I can't do this. This is the only thing I can't ask Al to do..."
When Liliana answered, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
She quickly realized that this might be Michelle's attempt to test her, so she lowered her head in shame.
(I, I really am...)
Since Michelle knew that she was worried about Alfred's safety, she would definitely continue to ask for details. Liliana was secretly troubled in her heart.
Michelle has a good relationship with the Elect family.
And in just the first few days of school, Liliana could see that Michelle should be said to like or love Alfred... In short, she also took good care of Alfred.
If Alfred were to get into any trouble in the future, she would surely not sit idly by, right?
However, things did not develop as Liliana worried.
"Oh, I get it, but my training is extremely strict, and I will never allow little Lily to give up halfway or surrender halfway."
"Eh?!"
"What's your problem, Lily?"
"No, no, I will try my best!"
Liliana was delighted with the smooth development as expected.
But Michelle's next words...
"Also, Al-kun doesn't want to be my butler, and Rose-chan and Aeril-chan are busy with student council work lately, so~"
Michelle gave a wicked smile and deliberately dragged out the tail end of the tone.
"so?"
Liliana swallowed and asked uneasily.
"I'll have to trouble you, Lily, to clean the lab from now on."
"Eh?"
Liliana paused for a moment before she began to look around the room.
Michelle's laboratory is not small, but it looks crowded because of the scattered debris and garbage.
Liliana was not good at cleaning. In the past, when she was at home, she had never cleaned her room, and always left it to the maid.
It was only when she was about to enter Illya Arya Academy that her mother arranged for her to undergo some hard training.
Liliana felt that it was a bit strenuous just to tidy up her own room so that it didn't look too messy. If she were to clean Michelle's room as well...
Liliana's cheeks couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"What's the problem? I didn't say I would train you for free, Lily. Please consider helping me clean the laboratory as part of your payment."
Michelle said with a smirk.
"I understand. I hope you, Teacher Michelle, will give me more guidance in the future."
(For Al and Sister Rose, even if this is the case...)
Liliana resolutely decided to agree.
"Hehe, I'll have to trouble you, little Lily, from now on. By the way, I just thought of a good training that is especially suitable for you, Lily now."
"Start now?"
"No, please start as soon as possible."
Liliana hesitated for a moment, then decided to agree.
She didn't have much time left, and it was just right for Liliana to start training as soon as possible.
"Since you are so motivated, little Lily, let's get started as soon as possible. This is a teleportation bracelet. It is a tool to ensure your safety. You must wear it properly."
Michelle took out a bracelet from the drawer beside her and threw it to Liliana.
