Chapter 7 : Urban Legend——【The Demon Girl Who Executes Justice】!
“Hey! Did you hear? That Young Master Li who was just acquitted two days ago due to being diagnosed with a mental illness… is dead!“
“Holy crap! Such explosive news? When did it happen? His old man didn't react?”
“Just last night! And with Mr. Li's personality, how could he not react!? I even saw an interview on the news this morning! His old man was so angry his beard was crooked, snot and tears streaming down his face, vowing to definitely find the murderer who killed his son and bring them to justice!”
“Pfft! Still talking about bringing to justice! Why wasn't he so righteous when his own son committed the crime? What? That Young Master Li was killed by someone?”
“Isn't that right! Come here, closer! Let me tell you—it's said that Young Master Li, was shot dead with a gun!”
“Huh!? Gun!? Our country still has guns!?”
“Keep it down! Don't let the teacher hear you!”
“What exactly happened! Tell me quickly!”
“I only saw the news this morning. You can go home and check online after school at noon. The whole internet is talking about this now! And the most explosive part is… the gun was in Young Master Li's own hand, and the bullet hole on his forehead also had slight burn marks, so it's highly possible… that young master committed suicide!”
“Suicide!? How is that possible! That young master had no worries about food or drink, and had an old man who could cover the sky with one hand, how could he commit suicide… Wait, could it be…”
“Exactly! No matter how you think about it, it couldn't have been him committing suicide! And in that case, it could only be…”
The two youths used their textbooks as “shields” to block the teacher's line of sight, while enthusiastically discussing the shocking case that had just happened last night and our Miss Demon—Iphilia, sat silently next to them by the window, eavesdropping with a smile.
That's right, the Young Master Li mentioned by these two male students was the unlucky fellow who tragically suffered Iphilia's righteous execution last night.
『Looks like the body has been discovered, pretty fast this time.』
Iphilia silently quipped in her heart. She wasn't worried at all that the police would trace it back to her. Not to mention anything else, she used magic when carrying out her righteous executions! Magic, understand? Completely unexplainable by science!
What's more, even if some priests from the Human Church or members of professional organizations found traces of magic, she wouldn't panic in the slightest!
You know, there were quite a few fellows hiding in this city! Humans couldn't find her no matter how hard they searched!
It was with this mentality that Iphilia had carried out her righteous executions for two years without any flaws.
Of course, there were times when she was witnessed by others due to some mistakes, but these were all trivial matters to Iphilia!
The funniest thing was, she was even spread around by some people as an urban legend, which was what the two male students just mentioned, and also the top of Wangyou City's ten major urban legends, known as the most credible urban legend—【The Demon Girl Who Executes Justice】.
By now, this urban legend had spread wider and wider.
Many people not only believed in her existence, but also regarded her as a hero who saved the city and executed justice, a righteous partner similar to a certain Gotham Knight!
And the place where her legend was most widespread, and also where this legend began to spread, was the campus she was currently in—Wangyou City's Second High School.
At this moment, Iphilia was proudly a little smug.
Judging from the results, her actions had indeed reduced the city's crime rate. Under the exaggerated propaganda of many guilty people who had their lives saved by her, now even street-side thieves would think twice before making a move—they were afraid of being targeted by Iphilia and becoming the next restless soul under the hand of the urban legend 【The Demon Girl Who Executes Justice】.
The ahoge on Iphilia's head seemed to sense the smugness in its master's heart and also began to sway left and right, looking quite spirited.
And Iphilia herself, relying on the fact that her current seat was the legendary king's homeland passed down through generations—that is, the last row by the window—was not worried at all about being discovered by the teacher, and began to leisurely scroll through her phone.
In fact, even if the teacher giving the lecture above discovered Iphilia playing on her phone, they wouldn't do anything, at most verbally reminding her to pay attention to the lecture, and wouldn't confiscate her phone without a word like they would with other students.
And this, was Iphilia's “privilege”!
It was also the privilege of a “returning overseas student”!
In the background Lucifer arranged for Iphilia, she was a mixed-blood child who grew up abroad and had just returned to the country not long ago.
Therefore, she was not used to the domestic education methods and didn't understand why schools didn't allow phones and still had evening self-study sessions.
Regarding this, the principal and the dean of studies also expressed understanding when she enrolled, and on the grounds of taking care of returning students, allowed her to carry a phone or skip evening self-study.
Of course, compared to the reasons given by the principal and the others, Iphilia was actually more willing to believe that the two buildings and a library Lucifer donated to the school were playing a role……
And in order to conform to the background Lucifer created for her, and also to make herself less conspicuous, Iphilia also used magic to change her hair and eye color—from the original beautiful and pure light purple to black.
However, when Iphilia first enrolled, she still caused a shock throughout the entire school.
After all, even if she changed her hair and eye color, Iphilia's delectable cute face plus her Loli attribute of being only one meter forty tall…… still had an unparalleled attraction to these kids who were in their adolescence.
Whether it was boys or girls, it was all the same……
Therefore, Iphilia often received love letters written to her, and this was the most painful torment for Iphilia, who had no relationship experience and was not good at rejecting others.
And the most awkward time Iphilia encountered was before, when two girls and one boy confessed their love to her at the same time…… that scene, don't even mention how awkward it was……
Iphilia at that time simply wanted to dig a hole on the spot and bury herself in it……
But the only unfortunate thing was, Iphilia had always sat alone.
The desk next to her seat had always been empty.
Without a deskmate, Iphilia felt that her high school life was missing a considerable amount of fun, and she often felt somewhat regretful about this.
Of course, if she really had a deskmate, that person would probably directly become the public enemy of the whole class, and even the whole school……
After all, the reason Iphilia was often mistaken for a Succubus was not just because of her racial characteristics. Just her face, though somewhat tender, was still captivating enough to rival those Succubi with alluring physiques……
