I quickly held out my right hand in front of me. I smiled and looked at Lilith.
Lilith, on the contrary, kept her cold expression.
[How do you know what I want?]
“Does it matter? Even if I know that you were almost killed by another raging deity, it doesn’t matter, right?”
I can’t even say it’s game knowledge. Even if I told her, she wouldn’t believe me.
[…..It surely wouldn’t matter. You can’t kill a raging deity.]
“Not as it is now.”
[What makes you think you can win? You’re fighting a god.]
“No, I don’t. I just have to get stronger and kill them, simple as that.”
[Eh…..i-is that’s why you asked me to sign a contract with you?”
The ice mask that had been cool-headed crumbled. She was truly surprised.
I answered with a smile on my face.
“Yeah. I’m going to be the best anyway. I don’t care if I declare that I’m going to kill God while I’m at it.”
[Ah, shocking. You seem like an arrogant member of the Salvatore family.]
“Phew. Don’t praise me like that. You’ll embarrass me.”
[I’m making fun of you～]
“Just get on with it and let’s get the contract signed. I don’t have time to waste.”
If I don’t get back to the ground soon, the servants will start looking for me. If by any chance they find out that I’m here, it will be very bad.
[No, no, no. It’s amazing that you think you can make a contract with me under those conditions, isn’t it? Isn’t it very stupid of you?]
“Who’s an idiot? I’m very serious. I’m going to be strong, and I’m going to kill God. Killing God is just a passing thing anyway.”
[Killing God is just a passing thing?]
“Of course. My goal is to be the strongest. How can someone who can’t even kill God call themselves the strongest?]
How many times did you think I defeated a raging deity when it was a game? There is no one in the future I can’t defeat. I’m sure of it.
[..I wonder if this is the first time I’ve seen someone in the Salvatore family with such a screw coming off.]
“Enough with the praise. It’s [Yes] or [Yes].”
[What do you mean by that ! I mean, where is the [no] !?]
“There isn’t. Lilith must be bored being stuck in this dingy basement all the time. If you make a contract, you can get out. Only your soul.”
[But if I make a contract, I’m bound to you. If you die, I lose my power and go back to this place.]
“I’m not going to die. I’m going to live at least a hundred years in this life. I’m not going to die. And kill God.”
[I’m getting some kind of headache……even though I’m only a soul.]
Lilith was limping, holding her head. She’s confusing.
“I’ll even help you revive. And on top of that, I’m going to kill God. I don’t think that’s a bad deal.”
[How can you say that when you have no certainty? Aren’t you over confident?]
“Well, yeah.”
[Sigh.]
Lilith’s eyes pierce my forehead.
I’m just wondering how much time I have left, so I want it to be quick. Whether she refuse or accept.
“What are you going to do? Will you sign the contract? Or not? Take your pick.”
[Of course I won’t.]
Sputtering, she cut off my hope.
….I thought.
[–But I’ve become a little curious about you. You’re a Salvatore with too big ideals for someone so young. I’ve never seen a fool like you before.]
“Hmm? I feel like I was provoked somehow.”
[It’s all in your mind. It’s more about the contract, isn’t it? I’m fine with it. I wonder why I want to bet on you.]
“You’re a good judge of character.”
[Whoa, you’re annoying.]
“Stop it. Don’t look at me like that. You’re hurting my feelings, too.”
[You’re not a child, are you?]
“Yeah. –And, look. Contract.”
I held out my right hand.
Lilith giggled and shook my hand. Spiritual body? That’s why they can’t grab each other, but our hands overlap.
At that moment, a purple aura enveloped my body. It was a dusky black color, somehow ominous.
“Is this the aura?”
[Yes～. Your color is, oddly, the same purple as mine. Interesting.]
“That’s cool.”
[I know, right? From today on, you’re an aura user too. I don’t think you can even control it properly yet, but the contract is hereby fulfilled.]
The aura pulses even more strongly with her words.
[I give you my aura. In exchange, you fulfill my wish.]
“We have a deal. I will make you happy for sure.”
[Are you proposing to me?]
“No.”
Why should I propose to a ghost? Lilith doesn’t even like me.
[Fufu, just kidding. I’m looking forward to working with you, okay? I believe your name is…..Luca !]
“Yeah, likewise, Lilith.”
We chuckled at each other.
I’m going to satisfy the interest–or rather curiosity that Lilith feels for me.
Today is the day my life really begins.
I was itching to practice my aura as soon as possible.
☆
Having safely made a contract with Lilith of the Raging Deity, I hurried out of the basement to the ground.
I manage to undo the door mechanism and return to my room through the corridor of the main residence without being discovered by anyone.
On my way back, a familiar boy appears from the opposite corner.
Upon seeing me, he smiles derisively and calls out to me.
“Oh, it’s you, Luca. What are you doing here? Are you going back to your room?”
“Brother Camlen.”
This is my second older brother, Camlen Salvatore.
Blonde hair, red eyes.
In the Salvatore family, competence is the most important thing.
Not only the wife, but also the children born to the concubines aim to become the head of the family.
In other words, from Camlen’s point of view, I, the youngest son, am a worthy heir and an enemy.
He has been harassing me for a long time. He can only pick a fight with someone younger than himself?
But the timing couldn’t be worse. I have an aura about me now that Camlen doesn’t have yet. I can beat him up almost unilaterally.
I couldn’t help but smile.
