255 Lilith Vs Eleonore

( This Girl! What is her problem? )

Eleonore thought.

Even when she had already told her indirectly to go away, she still stood there.

Similarly, Lilith didn’t have the greatest impression of Eleonore who was trying to block her from meeting Zero.

As far as strength is concerned, she knows that she was superior, and had it been her former workplace, she would have already taught her a lesson. However, considering she was in the human world, she refrained from doing so.

The atmosphere was tense between the two.

“Eleonore, who is at the door?”

Just when both of them were staring at each other, Zero’s voice interrupted them.

Zero had finished cooking the food and was wondering who was at the door because Eleonore was at the door for too long.

.....

“...”

Eleonore refrained from speaking. She didn’t want Zero to know that this girl had come to find him. Despite having doubts about their relationship, she knew that Lilith was close enough for Zero to go to the aquarium together. She didn’t want Zero to meet this girl.

“ZERO!”

Lilith was extremely excited to hear Zero’s voice. She thought that she might be at the wrong address but hearing Zero’s voice, she knew she was at the right place.

On the other hand, she had become warier of Eleonore who lied to her about Zero. If Zero was not home, how come she was hearing Zero’s voice?

??

Zero waited for an answer only to get silence.

“What is she doing?”

Zero muttered while being a little irritated.

Seeing that there was no reply, Zero decided to check.

“Zero!”

As soon as Zero was in sight, Lilith immediately ran toward him.

*TCH!

Seeing this, Eleonore was extremely disgusted. She knew that she was right in trying to chase her away.

“Lilith!”

Zero exclaimed in surprise.

Zero was surprised to find that the person at the door was Lilith. He didn’t remember telling her his address or showing his home to her.

“Who is she?”

Eleonore asked in anger.

“Oh, she is Lilith. The new friend that I made in the park a few days ago.”

Zero introduced, not knowing the story between the two.

“Who is she?”

Lilith also asked the same question while glaring at Eleonore. She was clinging to Zero while asking

“She is my childhood friend, Eleonore Kanon.”

Still, Zero answered without knowing the situation. He thought that he could take this opportunity to increase the number of friends of Lilith who he thinks is new to the town.

“Come in!”

Zero invited Lilith.

Lilith was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with happiness and instantly followed him inside while also grinning toward Eleonore. She felt that she had won against Eleonore though there was no compet.i.tion or whatsoever.

Eleonore gritted her teeth in anger. She can’t believe that she failed to chase her away and that Zero invited her in.

“Zero, I can’t believe you are so eager to bring in girls.”

She was also angry at Zero for inviting Lilith.

Zero, who had no idea about the girls’ fight, was currently showing Lilith around the house. Lilith was extremely excited to see what type of place Zero was living in and looked carefully, especially when he showed his room.

However, she didn’t forget Eleonore who lied to her. She was extremely cautious of her.

Lilith was also invited to join them for lunch, which was creamy pasta, which Eleonore had told him to make.

On the table, one side was Zero and Lilith and on the other side was Eleonore and Misha.

Misha, as usual, refrained from speaking and kept glancing at Lilith but she dared to talk to her or anything.

On the other hand, Eleonore glared at Lilith in hatred while also not saying anything.

-CHOM!

“It was delicious!”

Lilith commented after they had finished eating.

“It was too salty and oily.”

On the other hand, Eleonore kept complaining. It was not like she didn’t like the food but because she wanted to go against Lilith that she spoke the opposite of what she was saying.

“If you don’t want to eat it, you should have made it yourself. Humph”

Eleonore also knew that Eleonore was deliberating going against her. From the moment they met, she knew that Eleonore was making things difficult for her.

Therefore, she also replied angrily.

“Huh? Why should I? I have Zero.”

Eleonore replied.

“He is not an object that you can claim is yours.”

Lilith answered.

Both sides argued which was not good.

Zero at first thought that both of them were just having some small disagreement because of their difference in the taste bud.

However, as they started to fight more and more, Zero could not take it anymore and interfere.

-BANG!

“Can you two please act more mature? Why are we fighting over food?”

Zero said.

He didn’t know what goes through the mind of Eleonore and Lilith to fight like little kids. As far as he was concerned, both of them appeared to be fighting over food.

In reality, the argument had nothing to do with the food and it was simply a disagreement between two people who don’t like each other.

*HUMPH!

Both of them turned their heads away from each other.

“Zero, let’s go to the aquarium!”

Lilith decided to set aside her anger and do what she came here for.

!!!

Immediately, Eleonore became alert. In the first place, she didn’t want Zero to meet her because of this, and finally, her enemy had used a move.

“No!”

Rather than Zero giving an answer, it was Eleonore who rejected Lilith in Zero’s place.

Lilith glared at Eleonore.

“He has promised us to stay with us!”

Eleonore continued.

“He also promised me to go to the aquarium!”

Lilith replied.

They glared at each other for a second before turning their heads to Zero, demanding an answer.

“Zero, you will go with me, right?”

.....

“Zero, chase this girl away.”

Both of them were pretty intense when asking Zero. Good thing was that Misha was not there.

“AH...”

Zero didn’t know how to answer them.

( I had already said I would not be going. Lilith is making it difficult for me. )

For the starter, though I had made plans with Lilith, I already told her that I would be busy for a week.

However, she even came here to invite me. It would be incredibly rude for me to reject her.

!

( Why did I not think about that? )

“How about we all go together?”

I will be able to solve both my problems that way. I will fulfill my promise to Lilith while also not getting worried about my house getting burned.

” “NO!” ”

Both of them said it at the same time. Zero even got startled by their reply.

( Why would I go with this girl? If it was only us, then I might have. )

Eleonore thought.

( No. No. It would not be a date anymore if we brought her along.

Lilith thought.

Seeing them frantically reject his idea, Zero didn’t know what to do anymore.

“I also want to go to the aquarium.”

The moment Zero was lost as to what to do, Misha came to his rescue. Misha also expressed her desire to go to the aquarium.

“...”

With Misha showing her desire to go to the aquarium, Eleonore was not able to reject her idea. One was because she loved Misha very much and would do whatever for her.

Secondly, it is very rare for her to voice her desire. Misha was a quiet child and from a very young age didn’t demand things.

Therefore, the times when she wanted something were rare and their family would do everything they could to satisfy that request.

Lilith also didn’t reject Misha as she did with Zero. First of all, she didn’t hate Misha like she did Eleonore. Secondly, she didn’t know the relationship between Misha and Zero.

What if Zero liked Misha? Then her refusal will make a gap in their relationship which she didn’t want.

Anyway, with the intervention of Misha, both of them agreed.

Zero didn’t know whether she did this intentionally or because she wanted to go to the aquarium like she said but the fact that she saved him didn’t change.

Zero was grateful for Misha’s help and gave a thumbs up to Misha. Misha smiled in response.

Then the four of them prepared to go to the aquarium.

The aquarium was not very far and could be reached within 15 minutes, so they decided to walk instead of taking a bus.

On the way to the aquarium, Eleonore and Lilith argued. Lilith tried to get close to Zero, only to be stopped by Eleonore.

This happened several times, and each time both of them would fight. Even Zero didn’t know what to do. He was the youngest of them, and it was he who was responsible for taking care of them.

Misha was not very good with the crowded places and was sticking close to Zero. While the other two fought with each other.

( Will we be okay? )

Zero thought as he regretted his decision.
