I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - Chapter 253: Together from Now On

Chapter 253: Together from Now On

“This feels so nice. Cynthia, Lilith, it’s been since the last bath, hasn’t it?”

“That’s right! This is my first time in a hot spring, and it feels amazing!”

“I heard from Weiss that this was a mixed bath, but I never expected Eva to be here.”

In the end, we were all soaking in the bath together peacefully.

The natural hot spring had a milky white color that made the water cloudy, which was a relief for my mental state.

It was a little hot, but that only helped warm up my body.

The area was surrounded by thick forest, and for some reason, this place alone was naturally hollowed out.

Smooth rocks formed the edges, so there was no risk of getting hurt.

And then—

“This is incredible… this power.”

“Fufufu, it feels nice, doesn’t it?”

Eva, Cynthia, Lilith, and I all had magical energy rising from our bodies like steam.

Just like the rumors said.

It was almost like leveling up infinitely.

…Could this be the secret behind Eva’s strength, the one that made her known as a ‘bug cheat’ and a ‘story-breaking woman’?”

“It’s a shame, but once you leave, your magic power will drop right away.”

As if reading my thoughts, Eva spoke.

“I see.”

“Oh? You sound disappointed.”

“No, I just thought things wouldn’t be that easy. More importantly, how did you even find this place?”

“I know everything. —Just kidding. I happened to sense strong magic here, so I came down and found Professor Milch.”

“…Huh?”

Her sudden comment surprised me.

Professor Milch and Eva…?

“That was a long time ago. It was before I entered Noblesse. Back then, this area was still caught up in war.”

“…What happened?”

“Of course, we fought. Professor Milch attacked first.”

A story even I didn’t know.

I never imagined something like that happened.

But for Professor Milch to attack Eva immediately upon seeing her—impressive.

As expected of someone who values the first strike.

“What?! Who won?!”

Lilith suddenly stood up and shouted.

“Lilith, you’ll catch a chill.”

“Right!”

I was definitely curious about the outcome.

If it had been an official match, the tickets would have sold for a fortune.

I would’ve loved to see it in the arena.

“There was no clear winner. But it was fun. I’d love to do it again, but it’s hard when one of us is a teacher and the other a student.”

I wonder if there’s a recording of that fight.

I’d love to watch it…

But if we could lure demons here, we might actually win.

No, if they bathed in this, it’d be a problem for us.

“Anyway, how have you all been lately? You seem to be having a lot of fun, my dear underclassmen.”

“Who knows? We never know when demons might attack again, so we just train every day.”

“Fufufu, I look forward to your fight with Alan.”

“Because you taught him?”

“You’ll have a hard time next time.”

Alan, who had fought Neil, was nothing like before.

But what was so entertaining for Eva?

Was she excited about me losing to him? No, I wasn’t sure.

Then Lilith turned to Eva and asked,

“Eva, will you fight if the demons attack?”

She was probably thinking about Nell.

I had heard they were old friends, but it was surprising how much they looked alike.

Then again, in games, it wasn’t uncommon to fight enemies that looked identical to allies.

Maybe there were materials that mentioned it, even if the main story didn’t.

Eva poured hot water over herself and smiled quietly.

“Well… fighting demons is fun. But watching Alan and Weiss struggle is even better. Seeing Cynthia and Lilith fighting with everything they’ve got gives me chills.”

She never lies. Knowing that was her honest feeling made it all the more terrifying.

“I’ll be counting on you, Eva.”

“Ufufu, but let me say just one thing—Nell is my prey. So try not to interfere too much.”

Eva said this without any emotion.

There was definitely some deep history there.

I’d like to hear about it one day.

Then, Cynthia suddenly stood up and smiled at me.

I quietly looked down at the water.

Yeah, the white water was beautiful. Not skin, the water.

“I’m getting out now. You three enjoy yourselves. Oh, and I have a feeling… demons will be coming again soon.”

“Why?”

“Who knows? Just a hunch, from the way those fake demons have been acting.”

Even now, fake demons were appearing around the world.

But Eva’s predictions were usually right.

In the original story, after Neil and Priscilla, the demons were supposed to attack next.

I instinctively turned around—only to see Eva’s pale skin and black underwear.

“You naughty little junior. See you later.”

Then Eva put on just her outer robe and flew away with flight magic.

I felt a slight chill and turned my gaze back—only to see Cynthia smiling at me.

“I’m only devoted to you.”

“I’ll allow it.”
