Beloved Villain Flips the Skies

“Rigel!”

After all, Yukina was only able to visit the library during the lunch break. If you scream as soon as you enter a library where people are scarce, a boy with silver-white hair will look at you. This innocent boy who shakes his partly black mesh shoulder-length silver-white hair is exactly Yukina’s step brother, Rigel Delufes.

“… Yuki-neesama?”

Wiz went to do work at the student council and Yuris was called by Nokuxia to the staff room. That’s why when he saw Yukina who is rarely seen acting alone all by herself, Rigel’s eyes blinked. 「Apparently she’s not with Wiz or Yuris.」 he thought.

I still have some dissatisfactions with being treated lightly as a set, but for now I’ll have to hold back for my long time no see reunion with my beloved step brother.

During the long spring break, for some reasons, Rigel spent time in his dormitory instead of going home. Of course, Yukina, who returned home, had no chance to meet Rigel, and as a result, it has been such a long time since they last seen each other (it’s not really that long, but because of being used to meeting every day, it felt like that).

“It’s been a while, Rigel. I wanted to see you. Did you catch a cold?”

“Yes. It looks like Yuki-neesama seems to be doing well too. Me too … I also wanted to see you.”

Because of this. Exactly because of this is why my step brother is an angel. Perhaps because she’s shy after so long, Yukina’s cheeks were red as Rigel put his arms around her. The little modest force he used in the hug seemed to reflect his character. True, he’s a yandere stalker in the original story, but I don’t know what will happen in this life. Well, I haven’t lived that far yet.

In Rigel’s special seat by the window were many books, that is, as expected, again telling the fact that Rigel skipped and was still reading during class today.

“Rigel, did you miss class again today? You should not do that. You have to attend your classes properly.”

“… I hate classes because they’re boring. Nokuxia’s lectures are sometimes fine, so it’s okay to take them, but I hate the others. They’re not fun.”

If I scold him with my usual lines, Rigel will also make the same excuse as every time 「boring」. 「How rude」, is what you might think, but Rigel has enough brains to be considered a genius born once in a thousand years. As expected, being taught in the same level as those his age is not fun for him.

Nokuxia, instead of following textbooks, gives lectures based in his own thoughts and understandings, and to that intelligent Nokuxia, no one can seem to understand or follow. The only one who can call his lectures “interesting” was the genius Rigel.

“Yuki-neesama, come to think of it, His Highness Wiz came during the middle of one of your classes.”

“What did you say …!?”

Wiz might have been interested in the events of Rigel and Lilith. To the point of skipping class just to ask. Perhaps he might be very concerned.

I see, that’s what a real tsundere is, huh. It was different from what I expected, but with the 「I’m not particularly interested」 actions, I can only think that Wiz is aiming for a gap moe. After all, I already made Rigel unable to have his chance encounter event, so while I’m at it, I must look into things more.

「Ufufu」 as Yukina began to laugh, Rigel looked at her as if seeing something strange. However, Rigel does not have a yandere-kind dangerous glint in his eyes. It may be because Rigel has been Yukina’s step brother for many years. If you didn’t know Yukina’s identity in the first place, no matter what, you wouldn’t think of the Yukina right now as the daughter born in one of the stately dukes.

“So, I was asked, 「Did a female student called Lilith ever came by?」. I properly and honestly nodded. Please praise me Yuki-neesama.”

“Is that so, you honestly nodded, ne. How great of you Rigel…… what?”

……… Eh, Lilith, you came here?

“Wi~z!”

The door of the student council room was opened with a loud bang. The one who had that knob in her hand was Yukina Delufes, the daughter of the Duke of Delufes. That’s right, the Yukina who is the daughter of the main family of the Duke of Delufes. Though her hair is messed up, her shoulders rise and fall as she breathes heavily, and her eyes are strangely strong as she gazes at the student council members, but she definitely is a daughter of the Duke.

As soon as she opened the door, Yukina overlooked the student council room. The remaining three were Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Plus our student council president, First Prince Wilentz.

The four men had two kinds of reactions when Yukina left the door open and jumped in. A group that is afraid of Yukina who started to slide suddenly, and a group that is already accustomed to her and does not react anything. Needless to say, the secretary and treasurer were the ones afraid, and Wiz and the vice president were unresponsive.

“Wiz, isn’t your work done anyway?”

“The decision? Well, it is over.”

“Then isn’t it okay. Hey, by the way, I heard Lilith-san came to Rigel. Wiz also knows, he said. Why did you keep silent?”

Coincidentally, there was a vacant seat on the sofa for four people, so I sat down on the vacant seat next to the secretary. Of course, this position was a fixed position when Yukina came to the student council room, and no one dared to say anything. She has come to the student council room many times (at the right time), and it’s about time the secretary and treasurer should get used to Yukina’s eccentricities. 「Won’t be surprised everytime」 Wiz secretly sighed.

“Yukina, do you want tea?”

“I’d love to. Your tea is very delicious.”

Because he was happy with Yukina’s words, the person whose cheeks dyed red and immediately went to brew tea was the vice-chairman, Zion.
Even today, though he looks like a black-bellied glasses character, Yukina’s words kept breaking that appearance, as usual.

“… Zion looks pretty down, too.”

“Where?”

“Nothing”

Yukina asked in response to Wiz’s mumbling, but Wiz did not answer. Yukina was a little fed up, but Wiz’s mysterious mumblings was something he usually does from even before. Thus, I stopped asking questions and moved on to the main subject.

“So, what about it?”

“Yes, I knew that Lilith came to Rigel’s place, rather, in the library. But I didn’t think Yukina didn’t know.”

“I was in the classroom all this time, wasn’t I”

Ah, he’s intending to fool me. I looked at Wiz intently and he looked away from my face.

“……… I didn’t see you.”

“No, that’s a lie”

“Chairman, lie”

“Wiz, you shouldn’t lie, you know.”

At that moment, the secretary and treasurer who were trying there best to reduce their presence and act as shadows suddenly commented, and Zion who came out from the back with a cup of black tea also reprimanded him. 「Why does everybody think it’s impossible for me to not have seen her?」 thought the sinking Wiz.

“……… You all, isn’t your response a little too quick, I wonder.”

“Ha, hahaha …”

There is no way for Yukina to know that the four people facing each other in the shadow were hiding from the strange Yukina.
