Chapter 37 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Chapter 37 Unlicensed Operation ??? Ifia listened to Amelia's words and turned around in confusion, only to see several tall soldiers standing at the door, each of them with a serious look on their faces. Obviously, they had come with Amelia since the moment Ifia fell. They witnessed the whole process. For a moment, Ifia experienced the exhilarating sensation of social death, thrilling! Adhering to the idea that as long as she didn't feel embarrassed, others will... Ifia forced herself to stand calmly in place while the fangirl Jessina quickly approached, her eyes full of admiration fixed on Amelia's back. It was almost as if hearts of pink love were about to pop out of her eyes. Unfortunately, Amelia didn't even spare a glance. Following her orders, the soldiers swiftly moved forward and quickly lifted Medene, who seemed to be having a fit, from the ground. Initially pleading for mercy, Medene strangely fell silent at the moment. She only trembled more violently. Upon seeing that Medene had been restrained by the soldiers, Ifia finally asked curiously, "Miss Baran, may I ask what has Medene done?" While speaking, Ifia carelessly nearly let "Amelia" slip out, but the moment Jessina turned her head and glared at her, she quickly corrected herself. She couldn't just openly state that the two of them were very close. Their friendship with Amelia hadn't been announced yet, and she couldn't be so direct, feeling like some kind of underground romance. "Ifia, call me by my name." However, as Ifia sighed within, Amelia didn't have as many reservations as she did. When Amelia heard Miss Baran's address, she furrowed her brows and disregarded Jessina's shocked look, directly and decisively stating that their relationship was not unfamiliar. At the same time, she turned to face Ifia and firmly took her hand. Her violet eyes were as brilliant as gemstones, just a fleeting glance could mesmerize one's soul, making it impossible to refuse. "Alright, Amelia, I'm very curious about what has happened." Ifia, unable to resist the attack of peerless beauty, surrendered directly, sidestepping Jessina's intense and substantial gaze, continuing to inquire about the unanswered questions. As for Amelia taking the initiative to hold hands, Ifia didn't find it strange. It was normal for girls to be affectionate with each other! Amelia's hand was soft and she smelled nice, Ifia didn't reject this kind of intimacy. When she was still a young heir, her female classmates did everything together, not to mention holding hands, they even went to the restroom in groups. "Recently, the capital, Darwa, has seen a surge in witch fortune-telling. Many nobles have sought Medene's fortune-telling treatment. However, instead of their original health, problems appeared, such as palpitations, insomnia, and mental confusion. Some even resorted to self-harm," Amelia explained. "Coincidentally, a noble I know also suffered from these symptoms and sought my help. After that, I went to the Imperial Police Station for assistance." "After an investigation by the Imperial Police Station, it was found that three years ago, Medene was discharged from a mental health sanatorium in Darwa. During this period, it is unknown what she went through, but now she has opened this fortune-telling house." "Originally, when we found this out, we could have handed it over to the police, but the police who were surveilling suddenly reported that two Prilis Academy female students had entered the fortune-telling house... Ifia, you said you were coming to Colifin Street to purchase items yesterday, and Medene's fortune-telling house is here, so I brought the soldiers along just in case." "Fortunately, we arrived in time." Amelia's clear explanation left Ifia and Jessina utterly shocked. It turned out to be the unlicensed operation of a mental patient... Jessina, in particular, felt a shiver down her spine, recalling Medene's recent strange behavior. Fortunately, she had come along with Ifia. If she had been alone, the situation could have been much more dangerous! However, Ifia was speechless. It turned out there was no demonic possession after all… Then again, this was just an ordinary medieval world, without any magical elements. It was a world where there were no gods or demons! Otherwise, why bother with tasks? She might as well just lay down and die! Against a demon, she, a mere mortal, had no chance of winning! However, if one considered it this way, the system didn't lie to her. Despite Medene's history of mental illness, even if she killed someone, she could use her mental instability as a defense, and they might end up being extorted for self-defense. Yet, since the system didn't deceive her, why didn't it dare to respond? As Ifia pondered, the system, silently observing, breathed a sigh of relief. It had thought it would be exposed after this, causing Ifia to doubt the extraordinary nature of this world. Resigning herself, she would have continued to lie flat... Unexpectedly, the villainess had turned the situation around! Truly a behind-the-scenes boss! Ifia and Jessina, being ordinary humans, were unaware of what had just occurred, but the system witnessed everything from beginning to end. When the demon possessing Medene had tried to harm Ifia, the system was still thinking of ways to save her. However, they never expected that the villainess would leave behind a mark. When Ifia first met the villainess, apart from giving her gold coins, she also gave her a round pearl, which Ifia treasured and kept in a small pouch around her neck. It was this pearl that scared the demon and caused it unbearable pain and suppression. Moreover, the pearl absorbed the aura of other demons, allowing the villainess to instantly detect it. Subsequently... The villainess came with human soldiers and fabricated a plausible excuse. Leveraging her status as a duke's daughter, she could easily make Medene appear as a mentally ill patient, even if she claimed to be male, the story would be seamless... She could assert that from being a man to a woman, it just required a small operation. Even Ifia, if she weren't a fool, probably wouldn't have noticed anything amiss. After all, labeling Medene as a mentally ill patient provided a good explanation for her previous strange behavior and words. At this moment, the system looked at the demon occupying Medene's body with pity. It didn't even have a chance to plead and was mercilessly killed by the villainess using magic, reduced to nothingness. Witnessing this scene, the system felt as though its operating program had momentarily come to a halt, as if it had witnessed its own inevitable exposure by the villainess... Scared out of its wits! After the demon's possession vanished, Medene regained consciousness. However, upon regaining consciousness, when she faced Amelia, her eyes widened involuntarily. Her overly sensitive sixth sense made her feel as though she was being oppressed by endless black mist, unable to breathe. Medene could only desperately save herself, breaking the small clay figurine hanging from her waist to reveal a silver charm resembling a standard long sword. The next moment, the black mist dissipated somewhat, and the fear diminished. However, after this action, it drew Amelia's surprised and quizzical gaze. Things seemed to have become more interesting. "Demon, you are a demon. I will eradicate the filth and evil on behalf of the gods, and darkness shall not be allowed to exist in this world!" Medene suddenly shouted hoarsely, brandishing the silver charm, aiming it at Amelia!
