Beloved Villain Flips the Skies

“By the way, Wiz, what happened to you earlier?”

“Yukina was… Yukina was…!”

“… Yukina, what did you do…?”

“I did not do anything, you know.”

For the time being, let’s sit down on the sofa again and drink Zion’s brewed tea. When Yukina was just about to release a sigh of relief, Zion asked Wiz, who is still dazed, what happened and Wiz blames Yukina for some reason. 「I don’t understand.」

「I did not do anything. I merely held his hand.」 When that answer came out, Zion looked dazed. Absolutely just that. Definitely just that. Just that, I’m a little irked as nothing happened with Wiz, but I’ll leave that behind.

“Fuu”

“………Now then. Yukina, the issue with Lilith is over, so exactly what is going on with you two?”

Wiz, who was still sunken in a different sense, didn’t even look at him, and Zion, for some reason, turned to her with a look that’s questioning and slightly lingering. Since Wiz didn’t say anything more, Yukina also did the same.

What really happened, perhaps, is that she was really just taught the way. Yukina’s actions today are clearly focused on Lilith. It’s not strange to be suspicious. Rather, even more strange are Yuris and Wiz who likes Yukina without question. 「Those two, they are rather sweet to me… No, maybe that is only so since I’m just very close to them that I’m getting used to their strange behaviors.」 Yukina sighed secretly. There’s no point in playing dumb further. Let’s just tell things about the Otome Game to Zion alone.

“Zion, I really love Lilith-san. I always want to keep watching her and cheer her on with all of myself. Wanting to protect her is just natural, you know.”

“Eh”

“That’s why I really wish for Wiz, Zion, Yuris and Rigel to get along with her. Also, along with Nokuxia-sensei.”

“………Eh”

「That’s just how it is.」 Zion merely furrowed his brows in response.

Yukina loves Lilith at a glance, and loves her so much that always keeping watch doesn’t hurt her eyes. 「Then I’ll keep watching her, and I want to support Lilith who is not yet used to this school life. I want to protect her.」 That’s exactly why Yukina wants Zion and the others who are close to her, to get along and get closer to Lilith. …… 「So that’s how it is.」

“O-oh, so that how it is. So the new true enemy is her, huh!”

“Eh”

“Don’t you worry, Yukina. I’ll definitely make sure to get along with Lilith-san.”

“Oh, yes, yes! Thanks Zion!!”

Yukina doesn’t notice. Zion’s eyes were clearly hostile to Lilith, and he was planning to not let her get closer to Yukina and rather to hinder her. This! This is the event! On the other hand, the revived Wiz secretly checked up on his smartphone with a happy smile, and he was clearly a little cheerful.

“Wiz, please send it to me later”

“This guy…He noticed…!?”

And then Yukina’s smile was permanently stored in the two’s smartphones.

◆

After school. Yukina didn’t go home right away, but instead waited for something at the front gate.

What she is waiting for, that is, an event. It is the first meeting with the sixth capture target, Harold, the chairman of the disciplinary committee.

As recalled, in the event, Lilith got caught up in a quarrel at the school gate, and the one who came to help out was Harold. It should have been that way. The story is now about to start, and Yukina’s expectations have risen to the limit.

By the way, behind the Yukina whose cheeks are red waiting for the event were Rigel and Yuris. Rigel unusually came out of the library to go to Yukina’s classroom and waited for the third years’ homeroom period to end together with Yuris, who was already waiting there.

The Wiz who’s always together with Yukina had a job at the student council. For some reason, work at the student council had piled up and he went to do them. Over there, between Zion and Wiz, 「For you to hold Yukina’s hand, I’m so jealous. That’s why I’m doubling your work」「Eh… wait」「You deserve it」 was how the conversation went, but Yukina who wasn’t there had no way of knowing it.

In the back, Rigel and Yurisu also had a conversation, 「What is Yuki-neesama doing?」 「Please pardon me, Rigel-sama. Even I cannot understand the meaning behind Yukina-sama’s actions.」 While they were at it, the time was ticking, and finally, the commotion between students at the school gate happened. You can hear the voices quarreling violently, and the number of wild horses rampaging continue to increase.

「Well, the stage is set. Where exactly are the main characters Harold and Lilith…」 thought Yukina, and as she suddenly roamed the gardens, a person suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Eh”

And somehow, people were flying all over. Yuris immediately pulled her back behind so she didn’t get caught up in it, but it was definitely a dangerous moment.

「Are you alright?」 asked Yuris who pulled her back, and Yukina answered positively. Yukina blinked at the sight of Yuris’ close up face. It seems that the emotionless expression of Yuris broke down, moreover… his ears were slightly red.

Wait a minute.

Recalling her current situation, Yukina felt her face suddenly turn blue.

Because it’s like the original Lilith’s situation right now. Though Yukina was able to avoid getting hit, and in the original story Lilith was unlucky enough to be hit by a person who came flying towards her and be accused of being in the way before finally having Harold help her, things were similar in a way …

Eh?

From behind Yuris, people can be seen flying. Then, from the other side, a male student can be seen with a clearly 「I’m screwed」 face.

……… And unbelievably, there was that girl who Yukina wanted to protect like a baby squirrel on the way of a rampaging horse. It was unmistakably Lilith.

…………… Eh.

Yuris: “… Your Highness. What is that photo?”

Wiz: “Well…… this is……”

Yuris: “Please, right now. I’ll trade it with this sleeping Yukina hugging a cat pillow.”

Wiz: “Good. I’m in.”
