My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 251 Roland, how did you break?

"Roland, what brings you here so late?"

"Could it be that..."

Roland felt somewhat embarrassed as he looked at Iluvia, who was leaning against the door with a flushed face.

He really wanted to say that he came to see Iluvia in the middle of the night just to "see a doctor".

Especially the strange changes in his own body just now, and the appearance of Elena, who is most likely a member of the Grim Reaper's family, gave him a bad feeling.

He didn't intend to ask Elena—the person who had just helped him stabilize his physical condition.

Even if the other party has not shown any malice since they appeared, it does not mean that they will necessarily tell you the truth.

Roland planned to get a relatively clear answer from Iluvia first, and then ask Elena when he went to bed that night.

only……

When the idea first popped into Roland's head, he didn't consider Iluvia's feelings.

Even though my body seems perfectly normal right now, and even just five minutes ago it was perfectly normal.

But... just like cracks in ice, the physical condition doesn't lie.

Especially after Roland discovered something was wrong with his body, the sense of danger of death he felt was real.

For a moment, he really thought he was going to die.

Therefore, the moment the idea popped into his head, he could only think of Iluvia, who was associated with the "authority of death".

Roland was so focused on being able to help that he overlooked Iluvia's reaction when she found out.

After all, Roland and she had just officially held a ceremony that morning to announce their engagement.

That night, her fiancé ran over and said, "Honey, I might die. Do you think you can save me? If you can't, it's okay. I'll go back to the capital and resurrect myself."

This kind of thing is still too far beyond the comprehension of normal people.

Although Roland was a bit stunned when faced with Ilúvia's feelings, it doesn't mean that Roland didn't understand Ilúvia.

This seemingly deep-thinking guy is actually surprisingly naive.

He appears to be extremely shrewd, but in reality, he simply has very few facial expressions.

Roland was also well aware of his importance to Iluvia.

At this moment, seeing Roland standing at the door with his head down, silently lost in thought, Iluvia lost her initial enthusiasm.

Just as Roland understands Iluvia, Iluvia, while not daring to say she understands Roland 100%, is more than capable of understanding that blue-haired Kalia.

All the women outside are wicked women who lust after Roland's body; only she cares about Roland!

At least that's what she thought.

In fact, Iluvia noticed Roland's emotional changes most of the time.

"Roland, what happened?"

"Ah."

Roland nodded, then said softly, "Let's go inside and talk."

"it is good."

Iluvia, dressed in her pajamas, yawned and then stepped aside to let Roland into the room.

After finding a place to sit down, Roland took a deep breath: "Iluvia, what I'm about to say, you must stay calm and don't panic."

Iluvia tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled, and then sat down in the chair in front of Roland. "What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious? I'm a princess, you know. Even if I'm not the strongest, I've seen and experienced a lot. I'm not afraid."

Roland nodded: "That's good... but you should still prepare yourself mentally."

"Okay, if that's how you put it..."

Although she didn't quite understand, Iluvia still picked up her hot tea, took a sip, then adorably wrinkled her nose and took a deep breath.

After doing all this, Iluvia stuck out her tongue at Roland and smiled, "Hehe~~ Is it okay now?"

Roland breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Iluvia in this state.

Good, at least this guy seems to be in a good mood right now. Even if he hears some bad news, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
"Okay. I'm sorry to come to you so late at night, but there are some things that only you can help me decide."

Iluvia blinked in surprise: "Eh, am I the only one?"

"Not even Ms. Fram?"

Roland shook his head: "No... Only you have authority over death, and only you can provide me with some information."

"The thing is like this..."

Roland was about to recount the whole story when Iluvia interrupted him.

"Alright, you look like you're about to tell a whole story." Iluvia gestured for silence, then frowned. "You're always like this. Once you want to explain something, you always want to tell the whole story."

"Just make it short!"

“I still have to work tomorrow! Ms. Remilia is practically tearing the room apart, I can’t let all the work fall on her.”

“Isfar’s border forces are weak right now, which is exactly when we need more combat power. Even with the contract in place, we can’t really use this guy as a laborer, can we?”

"So hurry up and finish what you've got, I need to rest!"

Roland gave a wry smile: "Alright, alright, I'll make it short."

"Something seems to be wrong with my body..."

"Like glass that could shatter at any moment."

"just……"

At Iluvia's request, Roland briefly recounted his recent experience.

But before he could mention Elena's existence, Iluvia's teacup fell to the ground, splashing tea and wetting the hem of her nightgown.

Roland quickly stood up; "Calm down, Iluvia! At least for now, my body shouldn't have any problems in the short term."

"I just want to figure out where the problem lies."

"Maybe it's just a small matter?"

Before he could finish speaking, Iluvia rushed over and took Roland's hand. The next moment, Iluvia, whose expression was already solemn, began to tremble, and her already serious expression became even more fragile.

Alright, no need to give the answer.

Roland could tell from Iluvia's expression that he was in trouble.

After sighing, Roland stood up and gently hugged Iluvia: "Alright, at least we still have time to solve the problem, right?"

"It seems I'll have to disturb Ms. Flam's sleep."

"And while you're at it, call that Demon King who's been away and hasn't returned either. Let those two old geezers come up with a solution."

"As for the problem, I'll trouble you to explain it."

……

The process of finding these two people was not difficult.

As soon as Roland stepped out of the room, he saw the Demon King flying around in the corridor, seemingly searching for something.

"Oh, you're here. I have something to ask you."

"I also have some questions for you," Roland interrupted the Demon King.

Although this guy has now switched back to the original voice pack, after the Isfar incident, Roland still finds it hard to look directly at the black-haired, big-breasted demon king who has been reincarnated as a gauntlet spirit.

The Demon King, somewhat puzzled, asked, "What's happened now?"

“It’s my own business… Go find Ms. Flam, you two can talk about it together, so as not to repeat yourself.”

The Demon King noticed that Iluvia was with Roland this time, and asked, "Is she going too?"

"Mm," Roland responded.

After listening, the Demon King sighed: "Fine, if you had told me you were going to find Flam, I wouldn't have left her place. I flew for ages and couldn't find you, and now I have to go back the way I came."

Despite complaining, the Demon King continued to travel with the two of them while mentally asking Roland about the cause and effect of the incident.

Roland did not hide anything from the Demon King, and told him about his recent experience and Iluvia's emotional changes after the examination.

After saying that, the group successfully kicked open Flam's door and pulled Flam, who was still engrossed in reading, to the sofa to discuss matters.

Once everyone was present, Iluvia began to recount her diagnosis.

Complex principles and processes are omitted here for brevity.

In short, after Iluvia used her innate spell on Roland for the first time, she discovered a fact that was enough to devastate her.

Roland died.
While this is the conclusion, a more precise and easily understood description would be that "Roland cannot be her target."

Roland was currently in a state between life and death.

Of course, the truly knowledgeable Demon King quickly calmed Iluvia down.

"Calm down, young lady. Your fiancé's situation isn't that bad. You're just worried and making a mistake."

“Take a closer look. Roland’s problem is not an illness or a curse in the traditional sense.”

"His physical body simply could not contain his increasingly powerful soul and spiritual consciousness."

Flam nodded in agreement with the Demon King's point of view: "That guy is right, Iluvia, you're too nervous."

"You can take a closer look now."

Iluvia was taken aback for a moment, then quickly and carefully began to examine Roland's physical condition.

Then... she understood the meaning behind Flam's and the Demon King's words.

Roland was certainly not in such dire straits that he died on the spot.

His physical life force was suppressed by his soul and spiritual consciousness.

This refers to the situation the Demon King previously described: the physical body cannot contain the soul.

but……

"How is this possible..."

Iluvia murmured to herself, the strange changes happening to Roland were somewhat beyond her comprehension.

Even a witch with innate magical power and a spirit and soul far surpassing that of ordinary people would not experience a situation where her soul suppresses her physical body, or even causes her physical body to be damaged...

The growth of the body and the soul should logically be simultaneous.

Then Fram spoke up, saying, "This is indeed a question that needs to be seriously considered."

"In addition, although Roland currently has an extremely powerful force maintaining his physical body from collapsing, this is only a temporary solution."

"We still need to find a solution."

Iluvia quickly asked, "Is there any way?"

"It's easy to say it's easy, but it's hard to say it's difficult."

"The root of the problem is that Roland's physical strength is too low. As long as Roland's physical strength can be increased, the problem will be solved."

"only……"

Fram scrutinized Roland, a peculiar glint in her eyes: "Hmm... I knew it. So, trying to improve physical strength through warrior training methods doesn't work?"

"There isn't enough time, and... Roland's body is like it's been forcibly glued together with superglue."

"While casting spells normally isn't affected, would trying to strengthen the physical body through magical tempering actually accelerate its decay?"

"So... the only way to achieve this is through external force?"

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

Furam complained, but the anxiety and tension on her face were undeniable.

The Demon King then spoke up: "I do have a method, but I doubt you'll accept it."

"After all, even if you accept the idea of ​​putting someone in a tin can, the person involved probably wouldn't."

No sooner had the Demon King finished speaking than Flam interrupted, "Shut up, you piece of trash! I have a way!"

"Bio-alchemy!"
