A few days passed and Lilith still ignored all her classmates and even the teacher. However, she kept stalking Lucas, who tried to avoid her as much as possible. When Lucas goes to the toilet during class hours, Lilith stands up and without asking for permission just leaves the classroom.
The more Lucas was ignoring her, the more Lilith was motivated to become his friend. She even asked Jim to teach her how to cook.
"But dear, why would you want to cook by yourself? You can literally just create whatever food you want!~"
"Come, one dad, you don't understand! A lady must learn to cook for her man!"
"Biggest bullshit I ever heard. Why does a lady have to cook, a real man should do it himself!"
Lilith looks at Jim and her eye twitches due to the irritation. 'Stupid daddy, he doesn't understand anything!'
"Oh, by the way, what the hell does 'Her man' means, Lilith? Are you going out with that boy?"
"Humpf!"
Lilith ignored Jim and left the castle. She realized Jim won't help her with this matter, so she decided that creation magic will do. It will still count as her making the food.
So for the next week, she kept asking Lucas what's his favorite food. And of course, Lucas did his best to ignore her and pretended that she is just an annoying stray kitten.
Day after day, Lilith kept bringing him all kinds of delicious meals, and in a week Lucas gave up and had a meal with her. He decided it would be a real waste if she ends up throwing all these meals away.
They sat on the rooftop at the school, where Lucas usually went to have a meal. He preferred eating alone, but there was no stopping a natural disaster that came after him, named Lilith.
"What's your problem, Lilith?"
"W-what do you mean?"
Lucas took a bite of wyvern's meat and chewed slowly. He never had an A-ranked beast for a meal before. In fact, he had never eaten such a high-level dish before. He was extremely thankful to Lilith but was too shy to admit it. Especially, due to him ignoring her all the time.
"You always follow me around. No, worse. You're stalking me! Why?"
Even tho he always ignored her or was harsh to her, deep down he was extremely happy, that she was in his life. As the only person who would stay by his side, just her existence made him happy. Lucas often thought about suicide, however after Lilith came into his life, those thoughts gradually disappeared. And now, he doesn't know what he would do if she ever left him. This thought hurts him the most.
"B-because I like you! You're my friend!"
Lilith blushes and hides her face behind her hands. Lucas blushes as well as he never expected this answer. From what Lucas knows, Lilith and her father are some sorts of elite magicians, with power enough to overwhelm even the royalty. And what is Lucas? Just a powerless boy. Useless trash. This thought irritates him and he suddenly shouts.
"No, I am not your friend!"
However, when he saw that Lilith sincerely became sad he realized, she means it. She actually cares for him. He knows, that this might be just a phase for her. One day, she will realize how useless he is, and leave him for someone better and stronger. But right now, she is a little girl, who cares for him and loves him the way he is. So he puts his hand on her shoulder and say
"I am sorry, you're right. We're friends!"
Lilith looks at him with a smile on her face. Then she kisses his cheek.
"W-what was that all about?"
"Hehe~ Nothing! Just a reward for being such a good boy!~"
Lilith blushes and looks straight into his eyes. Lucas also blushes he lifts his chin and say
"From now on, were f-friends!"
"Yes!~"
It took a whole year, and Lucas completely opened up to her. In time, the two of them fall in love and begin dating. At first, Jim was not too happy about it, but he decided it is not up to him to choose who Lilith loves and so he approved their relationship. Everything was perfect and one day, Lilith decided to tell him, that her father decided to unseal Lucas's powers. To do that, she must tell him what she and her father really is.
The two of them, were on a date, they sitting on the bench in the park after a long walk. Suddenly, Lilith took Lucas's hand and asked him
"Lucas, if I w-wasn't a human, would you still love me?"
Lucas didn't even need to think about this. He instantly nods with a smile on his face.
"Even if you're not a human, you'd still be the same, Lilith! The girl I love."
Lilith blushes, begin to play with her purple hair and smiles. She knew that he would say that, but hearing it still made her extremely happy. She lied down and put her head on his lap.
"Lucas, I have to tell you something… The truth is… I am not a human…"
Lucas looks straight into her eyes and smiles. He asks
"Then what are you?"
"Daddy said, my race is called a demigoddess… a god that was formally a human…"
Lucas chuckles, what an imagination this girl has. He knows she is very powerful, but to be a goddess… Well, a demigoddess! He thinks she is adorable. However, Lilith suddenly gets up and takes Lucas's hand. she pulls him towards herself and says
"This is wrong, you won't believe me if I'll just tell you, so let me show you!~"
Lilith says with a straight face. She creates a portal to Jim's world. To the most romantic place on that planet. The solid clouds. And she drags Lucas into the portal.
"W-what is this?"
What Lucas was seeing, is a different planet. It had two purple moons, one of those moons was so close, that it seemed its gravity should pull him towards it. However, it didn't. Then he saw a dragon flying around the planet and many other creatures that should only exist in the legends. And Lilith, who now has a halo and a pair of beautiful purple wings.
"So it's true? You're a demigoddess…"
Lucas felt empty. He kneels on the soft cloud and feels the tears falling down his face. Even before, he believed he did not deserve Lilith. And the fact that she is a demigoddess just proved it. He is nothing but trash, who is he to be with someone like Lilith?
"W-what's wrong, Lucas?"
Lucas looks at her with a sad face as he believes, that she only told him this, just to show that he does not deserve her. He couldn't even think of the possibility, that she might love him so much, that she trusted him with the truth.
"I-I don't deserve to be with you…"
*Slap!*
Suddenly, Lilith slaps him. Tears start falling down her face as she looks at him with pleading eyes.
"Y-you said, you would love me… Even if I wasn't a human! Was that a lie?"
She weeps and keeps wiping the tears, however, the tears kept coming out endlessly, as she felt heartbroken. She believed that he hates her, for not being a human. She didn't think of the possibility that it was just Lucas's low self-esteem that was talking for him.
Someone observed
the scene from the castle and was laughing to the point tears begin to fall. Jim knows that Lilith can't yet read the minds of people, but to think that the two lovebirds would actually think they hate each other. To Jim it was hilarious.
It warmed Jim's heart seeing the two of them being in love. They reminded him of how he and Elisabeth once were. He decided to fly over there as soon as possible and stop the misunderstanding from growing even further.
