Chapter 361 The End

Suya~

Kuu~

Not waking up, not waking up, not waking up, not waking up the dark magic Drowse Touch that she applied to her fists put all the challengers into a deep sleep. She hit them multiple times, gradually inviting them into their dreams, and when she judged that they would fall completely, she hit each of them with her magic at maximum power. This is bad.

Yay, victory!

Pyon pyon, Lily began to jump around happily after she woke up and confirmed her victory. Aside from the battle earlier, shes moving around with agility that cant be imagined from the usual Lily. This is bad.

Hmm, its rare for Deriss plan to miss. Well, me too, I guess. Deris? Whats wrong? You look so pale, you know?

Ah, no, well, you see

While watching the energetic Lily, I terribly regretted it. I didnt regret letting Haru and the others fight Lily. For them, this defeat would be a great experience. It was a good opportunity for them to learn the weakness of their new abilities and how to use them more effectively, and Im sure they gained many other things as well. It was neither a reckless challenge nor a waste of time. What I regret is, yeah, the promise that I made to Lily so easily. This is bad.

Sorry, I just remembered something urge

Oh-oh~? Where are young going, Goshujin-sama~?

To pick flowers?

You surprisingly have a feminine side, huh~? But before that, you have something to say to me, right?

The moment I stood up and tried to leave this place, Lily grabbed the scruff of my neck. Lilys speed is high even among the Great Eight Demons. To put it simply, shes the fourth fastest after Maria, Nell, and Alezel. To be honest, shes faster than me. Because shes usually lazy, the difference in speed when shes serious feels greater than it actually is. This is bad.

Something to say? Whats that?

Ah, you see, shes talking about congratulating her! Dear me, to think that I forgot about it. I mean, I was so preoccupied with picking flowers. You were under unfavorable conditions, but you did well, Lily. You did your best to win even if it means showing your true nature to the other Great Eight Demons. That spirit, Im sure it would be a good stimulus for Haru and the others. Good job, nice game!

No, no, as Goshujin-samas maid, being able to do this much is natural. Huh? Both of you, why are you making that face? Was my victory that surprising? Especially Nell. Come on, answer me~

Tch, this woman!

Lily, drunk with her victory, gradually began to get carried away. However, as she said, nobody expected her to use her Morpheus in the battle. We also made a mistake that we challenged her, thinking that there was enough chance of winning, without knowing that she could do something like that. I, whos in a crisis due to various reasons, and Nell, whos provoked by Lily, couldnt say back this time. And hey, she doesnt mind anymore about her appearance even if there are the other Great Eight Demons here.

Maybe you thought they could win just because they got Unique Skills, but you shouldnt underestimate the Great Eight Demons. Hasty preparations will only get you halfway!

And the truth is?

It was so close. Whats with that power of Haru-chan? Ive been feeling sick after being slashed by Chinatsu-chan, and honestly, I want to puke even now. Its the worst. Also, Touko-chan kicked me mercilessly, and I thought my body would break.

It seems that Lily was acting as her usual self, but as soon as I pointed it out, Lilys face turned pale. She probably acted tough to provoke Nell, but now shes holding her mouth and hanging her head weakly. Im sure she can recover just by sleeping, but it seems that shes still far from perfect condition.

I have to sleep for a few more days to recover. But I want to receive the reward from Goshujin-sama tonight.

Hey!?

Eh, reward?

What suddenly came out of Lilys mouth was a careless remark that would kill me. Shes weakened by Chinatsus stress, but at that moment, I also received stress as strong as that.

Thats why I couldnt notice her until this moment. Even more for Lily, whos currently suffering and showing her back to her.

Uryaaaaah!

Asdgfh!?

The person who shouted was none other than Lilys disciple, Touko. Lily was showing her back to Haru and the others to talk to us, and her back was bent when she received the flying kick. At that moment, I didnt miss that Nells expression brightened up. Im sure she noticed Touko approaching but didnt say anything.

Of course, the kick, which was launched at a ferocious momentum, had Berserk and concentrated ki on it. It was the second time today that Touko mercilessly attacked Lily in her defenseless state with an attack that could ignore defense. Receiving it directly, something that I mustnt put into words was about to overflow from Lilys mouth. However, just before it could flow out, Lily was blown away and crashed head-on into the steel wall in front of her while making the biggest roaring sound of the day.

N-No way. I-I should have, given you, a lethal dose, of drowsiness.

Lily, who was about to be buried in the wall, stood up for a moment, but she collapsed after saying so. Now, I have to praise the leading actor of this great comeback.

Fuu.!

Touko, were you awake!?

When I shifted my sight from the fallen Lily to Touko, I saw Touko kneeling on the ground. Shes breathing heavily and she looks tired. It seems that shes barely keeping her consciousness.

Y-Yeah. I applied ki on my head, so I could somewhat stay awake. Then, I was feigning sleep and was waiting for the right timing. I couldnt win against her in that ridiculous state, but I thought that the useless maid Shish would let her guard down when she woke up. Hehe, it was a surprise attack when she let her guard down. My strategy was a success, serves you right.

Saying so, Touko used up all her remaining power and collapsed like Lily.

Well done, Touko! You are amazing!

Nell is hitting Toukos back as if trying to finish her off. Ah, I have to stop her.

Still, its really a great comeback. Even I was thinking they were defeated, but at the last moment, everything was turned upside down. Realizing that she couldnt beat the sleeping Lily, Touko quickly changed her strategy. Understanding the characteristics of Lily when she wakes up and grasps the winning opportunity, its a strategy that only Touko, who usually takes care of Lily, can think of.

But, wait a minute. If Im not wrong, in the room, Lily was talking about giving the reward to Touko if Touko wins the battle. Its only if I agree to it, of course, but if this story gets out, its going to be a bit complicated, right?

A draw, yeah, its best to call this fight a draw. If theres no winner, nobody will get a reward. Yeah, lets go with this!

The winner is the challenger team led by Touko-dono! Lilyvia-dono fell earlier than Touko-dono!

It was a narrow victory! I agree with you!

We also have the image data. I dont think theres any objection, but we can discuss it at any time.

Fufu, I agree with you, of course! Right, Deris?

Yeah, thats right.

I cant win against the violence of the majority vote.
