Yuri didnβt think Lakis would stop his attack just because a civilian had been brought into the equation. Rather, wouldnβt it be more likely for the king of the dark world to deal with obstacles or witnesses as easily as possible?
In front of her, Anne-Marie was still staring at her with her eyes wide open.
If a new episode had begun because the heroineβs first meeting with the sub-villain misfired at Yuri, then this situation might not be a death flag.
But if that wasnβt the case, then the heroine might suffer a life crisis under the hands of the ruthless villain. Unlike in the novel, the current Anne-Marie was not Lakisβ benefactor after all.
βWait, then is it my fault for retrieving him instead of the heroine?β
Yuri groaned a little. At any rate, she couldnβt let Anne-Marie get caught up in danger. She didnβt even have time to think for long.
βI said sto…uk?!β(Lakis)
Yuri stretched her hand to where Lakis had just appeared. Hundreds and thousands of sharp threads, as hard as iron, shot out like beams. They swiftly enveloped Lakis like a net.
βOh my god!β
Anne-Marie screamed.
Just in case, Yuri sent out several more layers of attacks.
βAhh!β
While there was a cloud of dust in the air, Yuri carried Anne-Marie, jumped and quickly left the area.
–
After a while, Lakis emerged from the dusty air.
βHah.β
A fake laugh left his slightly parted lips.
Even though that attack displayed considerable destructive power, his body didnβt have a single scratch. The bars that flew at him didnβt attack him directly, they only sealed his movement.
βLakis, you okay? Like I thought, they also have the ruinβs power!
The bug barked loudly in his head.
Because Lakis had also released his power in case of an unexpected situation, a surge of red blood from his palm was covering his body as if protecting him. The next moment, Lakis willed it and it all crept back into his palm again.
βBut this is an unusual weapon, isnβt it? Can thread be used like this?
Once the red blood covering their view vanished, the cage-like thing was clearly revealed as it glistened white under the moonlight.
Lakis was currently trapped between a wall and some unidentified pure-white bars. Of course, some of it was broken by Lakis a few moments ago.
Like the bug said, the iron-bar-like thing looked like hundreds and thousands of sectioned threads. But they felt too strong to be called threads.
Lakis raised an arm and ran his finger on it. Immediately, his skin was cut on the sharp surface and began to bleed.
βThere was no murderous intent as expected.β
With this, it was very possible to attack and wound Lakis fatally instead of merely confining him, but the white mask did not do that. Hence why Lakis did not retaliate. In addition, even though he could pursue much further, he decided to just stop the chase here.
Earlier, he thoughtlessly tried to catch the white masked person, but he hadnβt yet decided what to do if the white mask turned out to be the person he was thinking of right now.
Lakis smashed the cage in front of him and stepped out.
βThey are a wielder of the ruinβs power, and they also had a ruinβs fragment.β
His sharp blue eyes moved to where the white mask had leapt off in the murky trail of dust.
βYou, go check there!β
Then at the incoming voice in the alley, Lakis jumped back onto the roof.
βIs anyone there?β
βNot a single soul!β
βStrange, I couldβve sworn I heard something?β
After a while, a group of people appeared in Lakisβ sight. They seemed to be looking for someone in the alley. Upon seeing the masks on their faces, something flashed through Lakisβ eyes.
βDammit, I donβt know why weβre the only one being screamed at. Where the hell are we supposed to find some suspicious person?β
βUgh, you read my mind. I mean, if this philosopherβs stone or whatever is so precious, they should have given it stronger security in the first place.β
Lakisβ eyes took on a cold gleam.
The philosopherβs stone being talked about and the masked people. This was a composition that had something in common with the white masked person carrying the ruinβs fragment.
βHey, letβs just go back!β
As the people turned around, Lakis trailed behind them like a shadow. He had figured out the targets to track in order to find the source of the item, instead of going after the white mask.
* * *
Yuri escaped with Anne-Marie in her arms. Fortunately, Lakis was no longer chasing after her. She hadnβt attacked to kill so Lakis probably wasnβt very hurt.
Of course, even though the purpose of the attack was to bind him, it was capable of killing him if he took one step to the side. But because her opponent was Lakis Avalon, she had a strange sense of belief.
βW-What is this…β
Anne-Marie blankly stared at the white mask, dazed by the sudden set of events then she suddenly came to her senses.
βAh, Hestia…!β
Yuri stopped walking when she heard the cry from Anne-Marieβs mouth.
βHestia? Was she in that alley?β
Suddenly, a chill passed behind her. Immediately, the thread attached to Hestia tracked her location. Actually, in preparation for todayβs festival, Yuri had made transparent threads in advance and attached them to Anne-Marie and Hestia.
The thread couldnβt be seen with the naked eye and it could increase almost infinitely so it was very efficient. So even now, she had a general idea of where Hestia was.
Fortunately, Hestia was quite far from the alley Yuri and Anne-Marie had escaped from.
βP-Please put me down.β
Anne-Marie struggled, her face had grown even paler at some point. It seems she was frightened by this situation after slowly regaining her senses.
Yuri did a double take once she felt Anne-Marie stiffen.
She had been in a hurry to get away from Lakis that she failed to look at things from Anne-Marieβs perspective.
Not only did a random masked person suddenly appear in a dark alley, they even used some strange power to attack someone else, it must seem very suspicious. And now, she was even being kidnapped by that suspicious person.
Of course, Yuri did it to protect Anne-Marie but there was no way Anne-Marie would know that.
βSorry, Iβll take you to your sister,β Yuri spoke in a slightly altered voice.
Instantly, Anne-Marieβs gaze froze on the white mask.
βHuh…? This voice is somehow…β
Suddenly, she felt like she saw red, gem-like eyes beyond the white mask. But at the same time, the masked person began to move again holding her, so Anne was unable to properly see the irises visible through the maskβs holes.
With how fast Yuri was running, the speed of their movement wasnβt human, and the passing sights changed in a flash.
βGo right.β
Yuri curtly said a while later, after putting Anne-Marie down. Then she leapt off the floor and quickly disappeared from Anne-Marieβs sight.
βAh…β
Anne-Marie chased after Yuriβs trace with wide eyes.
βWho is that? Itβs definitely not a strange feeling.β
Even their voice was oddly familiar. Whatβs more, she wasnβt sure if she saw wrong or not…but the eyes she saw for an instant looked red. And the long hair flying behind the white mask was black.
However…
βWait, this isnβt important right now.β
Anne-Marie tossed her confusion behind and hurried to the right where the white masked person had indicated.
βHestia…!β
And she really found Hestia there.
βUnni!β
Hestia couldnβt find Leo in the end and ended up wandering the alleys, lost then she heard someone calling her name and looked back. Anne-Marie rushed straight to Hestia and hugged her tight.
βHow could you just run off on your own like that! Iβve been looking for you!β
βSorry…β
Right then, colorful, bright lights boomed in the sky over their heads. The fireworks display had started.
βAh, the clock-tower…β
Anne-Marie suddenly remembered something. She took Hestia and hurriedly left the alley.
* * *
Yuri quickly changed into the clothes she had hidden in a dark alley.
She wore a bland white shirt under her jacket, so she only had to take off what was on top. Then she wore a skirt over her trousers. The skirt was long so no one would know she was wearing pants under unless they deliberately lifted it up. She also tidied up her disheveled hair.
Now, the problem was this ruinβs fragment…
Yuri had already fastened the glass box containing the item to herself so it wasnβt lost during the struggle with Lakis.
When she recalled what happened earlier, she felt even more mentally exhausted. Since when did the bland spring festival become so complex and eventful?

…by mistake? And why are there 2 likes too….
It’s not rly a mistake. I guess I forgot to turn comments off.
Thanks for the chapter^^ good that this one came out not long after i read the previous one hehe
I wonder if the person LAkis has in mind is indeed her…. and now LAkis has been hurt so that means he’ll need to recuperate for more days in her place…. he won’t have an excuse to keep living with her once he’s healed, after all…
He’s the the final BOSS, he probably won’t even both with an excuse and shamelessly either move in or move her out. *Clutches Fan Over Mouth* FuFuFu~
and he would come up with the most illogical reasoning for that too… lol
The mystery thickens!!! I love 2 chapters a week :3 :3
Thanks for the new chapter!
i love you thanks f.t.c
Why do I feel as if the scenario is like the hero (Yuri) and princess (Ann-Marie) dynamic.. or better yet, spider man saving MJ from the green goblin… lol
Things are certainly turning wild :0
Thanks for the chapter! π
I almost have the impression that after this event in Anne-Marie she will fall in love with Yuri…
Oh, Yuri. Anne-Marie did not say that Hestia was her sister, if she remembers it will be another proof of Yuri personality
Oh boy i wonder if Lakis will see Yuri and feel the the same sensations as before. Sankyu for the chapter qwq
Wow…!!! Since I finished reading the novel “LΓΊcia”, I am having a lot of fun reading.
It is smooth and pleasant. And also sensual.
I will definitely follow “Youβve Got the Wrong House, Villain”.
