Lilith

"..."

The girl didn't know how to answer.

The first time she heard the voice of the person before her, she had naturally understood the unfamiliar language. The second time she heard the woman who called herself Esdeath, she had already learned the foreign language.

This was unscientific!!!

She suppressed the urge to complain.

Seeing that Esdeath was still waiting for her answer, the girl opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to say her name from her previous life, or rather, before she transmigrated. But the words that came to her lips turned into...

"Lilith."

The girl, no, Lilith, lowered her head and looked at her slender fingers, which had become somewhat transparent in the sunlight.

No matter what, she had already become like this. It was time to make a clean break with the past.

Lilith looked up at Esdeath. "My name is Lilith," she said.

Esdeath looked at Lilith's ruby-like pupils and exclaimed, "What a lovely name."

After speaking, Esdeath shifted her gaze again.

This was bad. This girl possessed a strange magic that always managed to attract her attention.

And her voice is pleasant too.

Esdeath had already looked away, but upon hearing Lilith's voice, with a snap, she turned her gaze back.

"Ahem, so, Lilith, how did you appear here? Where are your escorts?"

Esdeath mistook Lilith for a noble young lady.

Lilith: "???"

Lilith tilted her head, expressing her confusion.

Fortunately, Esdeath had shifted her gaze and didn't see Lilith's adorable appearance, or who knew what her reaction would have been.

"I... have no escorts, and I don't know who you think I am, but you're mistaken. I'm just an ordinary person."

Ordinary person...

Upon hearing those three words, Esdeath really wanted to ask clearly how this girl before her had come to the conclusion that she was just an ordinary person.

"No escorts? Then how did you get here? You know, it's not close to the nearest human settlement."

"..."

Hearing Esdeath's words, Lilith fell silent.

Would you believe it if I said I didn't know how I got here either?

She certainly didn't believe it herself.

Seeing Lilith's silence, Esdeath didn't press further. After all, everyone had their own secrets.

Even so, the heart that had been frozen since the death of her father and clansmen had begun to beat again.

It wasn't because of Lilith's abnormal charm, but because the person before her was too mysterious, making her unable to resist wanting to lift the veil of mystery surrounding Lilith and know all of Lilith's secrets.

Moreover, Esdeath was not the type of person to be swayed by her emotions.

If one day she were truly influenced by her emotions, and that factor stood on the opposite side of her, she would only "kill" the factor that influenced her emotions to become even stronger!

"My home is not far from here. Would you like to come to my place?"

Thus, Esdeath extended an invitation to Lilith.

Lilith did not refuse. She had no reason to refuse.

This was a perfect opportunity to leave this snowfield.

Then, Lilith followed Esdeath to Esdeath's residence.

Behind Esdeath, Lilith watched Esdeath carrying an unknown creature that was a whole size larger than herself, thinking that Esdeath must be very strong.

Moreover, before Esdeath spoke, she hadn't even realized Esdeath had approached her.

Lilith reflected on herself, realizing her vigilance was too lacking.

She was in an unknown world, yet she had allowed someone to sneak up behind her, and that person was carrying a clearly very heavy corpse. If it had been some other murderous person, she would have been in danger.

Although there was a factor of her vigilance lowering after walking for a long time in the snowfield without seeing any living creatures, that couldn't be an excuse.

If she escaped with an excuse this time, she couldn't guarantee her survival the next time she encountered a similar situation.

But speaking of which, who exactly was this person before her?

Looking at her light clothing, the strength to drag a huge corpse, and the agility with which she approached without her noticing.

This person's strength far surpassed her own!

If the person in front of her attacked, she would find it difficult to resist, or she might not even know where to defend.

After all, don't overestimate the combat power of a normal human who has rarely fought.

Well, the pathetic squabbles in elementary school don't count.

Moreover, Lilith always felt that the name Esdeath was very familiar, and it was as if she had seen Esdeath's appearance somewhere before.

But she had never met Esdeath before this, what was going on?

Lilith couldn't figure it out.

Esdeath, walking ahead, didn't know that Lilith was estimating their respective combat strengths. If she had known, she would have certainly scoffed.

Because in Esdeath's eyes, Lilith was full of openings.

She could take Lilith down with just one strike.

The reason for "taking down" rather than "killing" was due to Lilith's physique, which, with almost no cold-weather clothing, stood on the snowy plains. Coupled with Lilith's mysterious veil, Esdeath couldn't be sure just how strong Lilith's constitution truly was.

Led by Esdeath, Lilith followed her to where Esdeath lived.

This appeared to be a tribal settlement, with many tents constructed from animal hides and the bones of unknown giant beasts.

However, these tents seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, and many were damaged. It was unclear what had happened here.

Lilith followed Esdeath further and stopped in front of a tent.

It seemed this was where Esdeath resided.

Lilith surveyed her surroundings.

She noticed that this tent was in the center of the settlement and was considerably larger than the surrounding tents. This should be the dwelling of the tribe's chief.

"Find a place to sit."

With that, Esdeath lifted the tent flap and went out. She was going to process the prey she had hunted.

After Esdeath left, Lilith was drawn to the beast skulls inside the tent that nearly filled it.

Calling them "beasts" was somewhat inaccurate, as she had never seen some of the skulls before. One enormous skull was even a meter long, making it hard to imagine how large this creature was when alive, and how Esdeath had managed to kill it.

Inside the tent, besides a bed covered with animal hides and those skulls, there wasn't much decoration.

Lilith ultimately did not sit down. The skulls made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, so she also lifted the tent flap and went outside.
