Chapter 143 - Greed

Pov Greed,

It's not particularly difficult to get Lust's attention — after all, she had a strong interest in Evelyn.

"Why are you so interested in her when she's not even from our world?"

Like Diablora-sama, Lust felt neither sexual nor romantic attraction toward anyone who didn't belong to their world.

"Because Diablora-sama is interested in her. And there's a chance Evelyn might eventually leave her world, so I have a reason to stay curious. Isn't that the same reason you're interested in her?"

"It's true that I'm intrigued by her behavior. But that doesn't mean I'd feel the slightest affection toward her unless she left her world."

"Do you know who has already crossed into that world?"

"There's me, Sloth, and you — but only for the mandrake mission. Red Rose is currently on a secret assignment there, but I assume you already know that. Then there's Justice and Wrath — but they can't go. If they did, it would result in a genocide."

If Diablora-sama gave the mission to the Red Rose, then of course there won't be a genocide — but it's only because the task is meant to help Voldemort. After all, she still follows Diablora-sama's words as if they were divine justice.

However, any criminal — muggle or wizard — who is not part of the Death Eaters will be cut down by the blade of Justice.

And as for Wrath, it's easy to guess why she can't go: the slightest wrong thing could set her off.

"I paid Evelyn a little visit and had the chance to interact with her."

"Please, give me more details."

"I played a chess tournament against her. Then, I touched her hand without wearing my gloves."

"And she was petrified?"

"No. She was perfectly fine — even though I didn't use any power. That was just my natural touch."

This information didn't particularly interest Lust — after all, anyone strong enough could touch her bare hands, as long as no energy was infused, without being turned into a statue of precious metal.

"After that tournament, I decided to keep an eye on her a bit more, since the Death Eater attack at the World Cup was approaching, and I wanted to see if she would do anything."

"And? What happened?"

"Hold on, let me finish answering the first question. Gluttony is currently in Evelyn's world, but unless Evelyn just so happens to go to the exact restaurant that he's raising in quality — out of the thousands that exist in that world — the chances of them meeting are very low."

And yet, strangely, I feel like I may have triggered a flag.

"Evy… I don't know what she'll do. She's always hard to predict. Sloth is asleep, and Pride has no interest in a world she considers pathetic."

I went on to explain that Prudence takes no risks, and the other Virtue is a little more involved, but not much more.

"There still aren't many of them who are interested in Diablora-sama."

"As it stands, it's not even certain she'll become a permanent resident of this world, so from a legal standpoint, there's nothing particularly interesting about her yet."

I then showed the scene where Evelyn beheaded the Death Eater.

"I checked carefully, and there was no sign of hesitation or regret in her actions."

Lust's inner fire suddenly reignited.

"It's rare for someone like her to kill without regret or hesitation. Usually, it's only psychopaths who do that."

"And the latest piece of information I have about her — and I think you'll find this very interesting — is that she met Mephistar-sama."

"NANI???????"

The shock on her face nearly made me laugh.
