Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Lucas and Lilith walked to the classroom; both seemed nervous. They wouldn't look at each other, making Sarah question what had happened.

"Is everything alright?" Sarah asked her hands on her hips. "Did you two fight again?"

Lilith awkwardly shook her head and forced a smile. "No... We're fine."

"Yeah, we just had a talk about something personal," Lucas added. "It's all good, Sarah." he extended his hand toward her hair and gently stroked it.

Sarah's face instantly turned red. "G-Good to know." Sarah's cheeks were now bright red. Her heart was beating out of her chest as she turned away from him in embarrassment.

While Lucas played around, he was still thinking about Lilith's words. 'Your body's memories are returning.' These words were running through his mind like a loop. He wondered whether it was a good thing or not. While he often wondered who his family was in Lightburn or what kind of people they were... He knew that he was probably better without knowing it. 'Should I stop reviving the dead?' he thought to himself when he remembered that his past memories were triggered by necromancy.

He shook off these thoughts and sighed, "That's a topic for another day." he muttered before looking at Sarah. "Anyway, you got any plans today?"

"Lucas..." Lilith placed her hand on his shoulder, "Don't even think about it." she gestured to him as if saying 'I have my eyes on you.'

"Tsk." Lucas clicked his tongue and went to his seat.

After class, the three of them decided to go to the library after school. Sarah was thrilled; the first time she showed Lucas the school, she took him there.

"Hey, Lucas... You still need those books on mana control?" Sarah asked while looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Uhm... Why don't we find some books on an ancient history of magic instead?" Lucas replied quickly. "Or maybe, something about..." Lucas paused for a moment as he smirked. "A red-eyed god." he glanced at Lilith, who didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Uh... I never heard of it." Sarah exclaimed as she looked around the history books. "I think I would have to ask the librarian for help."

"Alright!" Lucas grinned. "I am very curious about different religions."

Sarah asked a librarian lady for a book on Snowlands deity called 'The Red-eyed god.' and the three of them sat down and began reading the book. It was a large volume, so they couldn't read it all at once. The librarian lady left them alone after a few minutes.

"So... Lucas... Why are you interested in Snowlands?" Sarah asked him.

"Well, I guess that Snowlands' story intrigues me." Lucas shrugged, not knowing how to answer. "Would you like to go to Snowlands with me someday?" Lucas leaned closer to Sarah.

"Y-Ye..." She said, but before she could finish, Lilith pushed her aside from Lucas.

"No. No, she wouldn't." She put her hands on her hips. She stared at Lucas like a parent scolding their child. "If you two go, I am going with you."

Sarah and Lucas gazed at Lilith and chuckled. Sarah believed that Lilith was simply acting in envy; on the other hand, Lucas found it funny that Lilith was so desperate to protect Sarah and thought it was cute that Lilith found a friend.

Even Lilith herself wondered, how did it come to this? A few weeks ago, she wouldn't mind snapping Sarah's neck to get rid of her as a love rival. But now, she has to protect that love rival from the same guy the two of them liked. 'This is giving me a headache.'

As the three of read continued reading Snowlands' history, Lucas noticed that the Red-eyed god was never mentioned there. He was a little irritated but kept quiet.

"Oh! Look here!" Sarah pointed her finger to something written in a corner. "Could it be that the Red-eyed god was named the 'Crimson God.'"

"Crimson god?" Lucas wondered. "It is possible," he said. It was possible that in history books, he was documented as the Crimson god, while snow lands locals continued calling him the Red-eyed god.

"Come on. Let's call it a day." Lilith interrupted their conversation and stood up.

"We should go back home first," Lucas answered while yawning.

"We're not going to hang out longer?" Sarah asked disappointedly.

"Not really." Lucas tried to sound convincing, but he knew that Lilith wasn't buying it.

They lead Lilith to her mansion before heading downstairs to the cafeteria. The three of them ate lunch together at the cafeteria and headed back to Lilith's room.

Once they entered their room, Lilith took out the books from her backpack. At the same time, Lucas with Sarah sat on the bed.

"Lucas..." Lilith turned her head towards him. "You can sleep over tonight."

"Really?" Lucas was surprised. "Why?" Lucas's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "What's the catch?"

"Nothing. Just want to spend more time with you." Lilith smiled as if it was the most natural thing in the world. "Sarah is staying here as well tonight."

Sarah nodded, "Yes, yesterday we decided to have a sleepover today at Lilith's mansion."

"That means you'll be spending the night too!" Lilith cheerfully announced. She jumped to hug Lucas and leaned closer to his ear. "You're stuck with me!~" she bit his ear.

"M-Maybe next time..." Lucas felt chills down his spine. 'She's being extra friendly today,' he thought to himself.

Sarah watched the two of them; she couldn't help but feel jealous that Lucas was so close to Lilith. However, she realized that if Lucas stayed, she might get a chance to get closer to him. So Sarah walked closer to Lucas and hugged arm.

"Please... Stay..." Sarah whispered into his ear. She took Lilith's example and gently bit Lucas's ear as well.

Lucas forced out a fake smile; the first thought that came into his mind was, 'I'm in danger!'

"I think it's inappropriate for a guy to spend a night at a girls' house." Lucas shook Sarah's hand and gently pushed away Lilith. He was searching for any reason to escape, as he knew after looking at Lilith's eyes that she wanted something that Lucas might enjoy but would regret in the long run. What's worse, Sarah was taking Lilith's actions as an example, which worried Lucas even more.

"Oh, come on... It will be fun." Lilith bit her lip as she slowly walked toward Lucas, who was stepping back.

"Yes. We'll have lots of fun." Sarah nodded and also started walking towards Lucas, who was now leaning into the wall with no way to retreat.

"ARANIEL! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" suddenly, Lucas yelled and disappeared into thin air.

"Huh?!" Lilith's eyes widened as she turned around to see only Sarah standing there.

Sarah blinked a few times before turning around, "Where'd he go?"

Lilith frowned, "That fucking coward!"

As soon as Lilith finished her sentence, she gazed at Sarah. "Shall we watch a movie? Or take a bath together?"

"Uh..." Sarah was still utterly speechless. She shook her head, trying to figure out what just happened and exclaimed with a raised voice. "WHERE IS HE?!"

Lilith leaned to the wall and sighed, then she gazed at Sarah and said. "Don't worry; he'll be back." she crossed her arms as she frowned. "When he'll do, let's beat his ass."
