I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 26 – Everyone’s Wishes

“Tell me. You were going to say cute, right?”

“No.”

As Kiehl stared at Bella, she pointed to Jenkins and Zanbar, who were turning their backs from afar.

“Why are they like that?”

He then looked at Bella with passing eyes before turning his head away.

‘Hey, I survived. It’s not a joke because he’s upset.’

At that time, Iwer gave an answer that was not necessary to know. “Oooh, that’s right. The Demon World Festival isn’t going to be like this.”

Was there a festival in the demon world?

“What do you do?”

Looking back at Jenkins with those words, the atmosphere between the two really seemed strange. It seemed that the surrounding atmosphere was soaked in excellence, as if taking a picture needlessly.

“What happened while playing the game?”

Bella asked as she drank the juice they received as the third prize.

“I must have been a little playful.”

“What were you playing about?”

“I pushed them, and the two kissed.”

“Kek.”

Bella was choked while drinking the juice at Iwer’s answer

“Why did you do that?”

Barely calming down and asking Iwer, she shrugged her shoulders.

“I just pulled the trigger.”

“I’m guessing you didn’t pull the trigger but blown them away?”

“…The princess really has no sense.”

“Huh?”

“Even the Young Master seems to have noticed.”

“What?”

Bella asked as if she didn’t really know anything.

“Jenkins and Zanbar.”

“So, what do you notice?”

At that, Iwer let out a sigh, and she spoke softly, in a voice only Kiehl could hear.

“Young master, be strong.”

“…Huh.”

 

*** 

The fireworks display was frankly below expectations.

To see this fireworks display, they ate a packed meal box and waited on a mat on the bridge.

‘I guess it’s because I’m in modern civilization too much.’

The one-hour fireworks display, the fireworks falling in cooperation, even though he had only seen the photos, the sound was a little loud and the fireworks were hard to see.

“I’m sorry. What kind of flame is that? I’d rather burn a flower.”

“That’s right. There’s not even the energy to burn the night.”

The sound of the last sparks exploding was smaller than the sound of Bella hitting Iwer.

“Hmm, I’m sorry that it seems to end in a frivolous way.”
“Ta-da!”

Bella laughed and took out the lantern she had bought during the day.

“If you write your wish on this and put it up to the sky, it is said that your wish will come true.”

“Humans really have useless beliefs.”

“Everyone, take turns telling your wishes. I’ll write them down.”

She was preparing with a balloon on her lap.

“I want to stay with the Princess.”

“You’re really good at flattering.”

To the point she was sorry for hitting her so hard. Bella wrote down her own wishes.

Wishes are things that you can’t do right now.

[ Bella: Meet Shuria ]
[ Iwer: Stay next to the princess. ]

“Then?”

But, no one answered. Even Kiehl, who was happy if it was a wish.

“Kiehl got no wishes?”

“…I’ll write it down.”

Bella handed the lantern to Kiehl without much thought. After receiving the lantern, Kiehl hesitated for a while, then scribbled it down.

“What about Jen and Zan?”

“What is Zan… Writing things like this don’t make your wishes come true.”

“Jen, you don’t have it either?”

“I’ll write it myself.”

Then, Kiehl hastily began to draw what he had written on the lantern.

‘Why did I write something like that just to hide it?’

As Jenkins had even written down his, they heard a voice from afar shouting, ‘Turn on the lantern, please.’

“We don’t have a fire. What do we do?”

Bella stretched out her hand and said, I can do this kind of magic!

“Wait. Magic…”

“Wait…!”

However, the magic had already been activated at Bella’s fingertips.

“…Uh?”

She imagined a spark the size of her fingernail but a flame as huge as her forearm. The fire was soon out of Bella’s hand.

She turned to Jenkins holding a lantern. Though Jenkins hid the lantern behind him and closed his eyes.

“Dange—”

Before the words, ‘dangerous’ could be finished, Zanbar stood in front of Jenkins and was terrifyingly burning.

“Hey! A man is on fire!”

Zanbar jumped under the bridge as soon as he caught fire with his whole body.

Fortunately, not many people see it, and when Iwer reassured them that it was a ‘fantasy show,’ they all disappeared, leaving only questions.

“Zanbar, are you okay?”

As Bella poked her head under the bridge, he unknowingly stood behind Bella, undressing his upper body.

“He’s recovering really quickly.”

“He’s the general?”

“Would you like to be burned without cutting next time?”

“I prefer to cut, because it just sticks to one side.”

The burn marks seem to heal quickly, but they certainly look slower than when he was cut. Jenkins, who must have been most surprised, sighed heavily.

“Miss, don’t you practice magic?”

“Lend me a fire.”

After many twists and turns, the lantern was blown up again. When the fire was lit, the lantern slowly rose upwards.

“Our lantern is the last.”

The lantern, which started late, was becoming a star in the night sky along with the other lanterns.

“Pretty.”

“…Pretty.”

Bella turned her head to Kiehl, who was looking at herself, and she smiled brightly.

“I hope your wish will come true.”

If she could see Shuria once before the novel was finished…

Bella was literally doing every fan thing she could in the novel.

 

*** 

When the festival is over, Bella’s peaceful and trivial time…

“Miss, aren’t you practicing magic too much?”

…Started to fill with Jenkins’ nagging.

“It’s just out of control.”
“You have to practice that control. It’s not magic to hit and hit ignorantly.”

Bella heard it with one ear and wept.

‘What do you mean to be ignorant?’

She doesn’t need to practice the magic of the human realm in the first place, as it’s a normal place to just explode your magic and kill it like in the demon world.

“No, you said you were going to invade the human world. Then, you should be able to use magic here too. That’s the Miss’s weapon.”

Jenkins’ words made sense.

There was really no plan to invade. Occasionally, whenever the demons acted erratically, they used this plan as an excuse to warn them.

‘It’s magic… Do I have to pretend to practice?’

On the other hand, Kiehl’s spent more time alone in thoughts after going to the festival.

He sat down at his table and took a sip of hot tea to relieve his stuffy stomach.

“Is it your brother next to you?”

“Huh.”

Bella’s words continued to circulate.

‘As a child, it was easy to be lovable. I can’t be loved because I’m a child.’

Besides, through the few people Bella became close to within the swordsmanship class, he had no idea about her ideal type.

‘Since I stopped Bwen, things are a mess.’

Why did it have to be the Duke of Cruell? It was the first family that recognized the legitimacy of Kiehl, the emperor’s illegitimate child. Of course, they were also out of necessity, but at the time, they were a pretty strong backbone for Kiehl.

Kiehl’s fidgeting with his lips, recalling the beautiful night.

‘It’s still a long way from becoming emperor.’

Before he returned to his youthful body, it felt like a distant future.

At that time, Iwer came into the dining room to prepare a meal.

“Master, what are you doing here?”

Kiehl asked Iwer with anguish on his face and a grin.

“Yes. I just have something to think about.”

Iwer nodded her head and tried to pass by, though his figure at the festival came to mind, she coughed and talked to him.

“Did you see it at the festival? Even the Miss doesn’t know that I fed her properly.”

He smiled as he wrapped his hand in the hot tea.

There was a strange atmosphere between Zanbar and Jenkins that anyone can see, although those who have been watching for years do not know it.

“A leopard and a human, so maybe she doesn’t notice? Bella said before that animals can’t marry animals.”

“From my point of view, she’s just not interested in that kind of thing.”

“….”

“Look at that little boy named Bwen. Do you know what she said even though he brought her something like that?”

“What did she say?”

“Bwen will build a restaurant later on, so it’s a trade deal.”

“…Aahh.”

Kiehl bit his mouth for a moment.

‘She really believed it.’

Occasionally, he purposely talked to the children of the swordsmanship class, but it seemed to have worked.

Kiehl found it strange no matter how much he thought about it. Could it be that Bella just doesn’t care? Or, maybe…

“Does Bella have a fiancé?”

“Haha! I love that the Young Master is so active.”

“Don’t laugh. I’m serious.”

“If you say you’re serious with that face, it’s just cute.”

Iwer smiled and rolled her eyes.

Fiancé…

Unlike the human world, demons had no concept of love or marriage. Depending on the power of the heads of each type of race, children naturally spring up, so somehow increasing their power was a priority.

It must have been the same for the previous Demon King and Bella.

Since the Demon King was a single race, he passed all his powers to the children he had created and hibernated.

“There is no such thing as a fiancée.”

“That’s good…”

Iwer liked Kiehl, who was thinking hard with a pretty face. Especially that he doesn’t hide his feelings from the start. Unlike Jenkins or Zanbar.

Iwer smiled.

She wanted to stay in the human world to see Jenkins and Zanbar’s relationship.

“That’s right, the young master has a chance, too!”

At those words, she wanted to support Kiehl’s cute and fresh love, who dyes his cheeks red.

“Can I help you?”

“…You?”

“Young Master, the problem is not like a fiancé.”

“Huh? Then, what is it?”

“From my point of view, Young Master’s biggest problem is that you’ve been together since you were too young. Will you just look like a cute little brother?”

Kiehl sighed after hearing that. Who doesn’t know that?

Then, he remembered Juan Cruell, whom he met at the festival. He was an older adult than Bella, and he was tall and was one of the heirs to the Duchy.

[ “I want to meet him, but you are the most important thing.” ]

It certainly didn’t look like she was going to see Juan Cruell, but Bella’s wish on the lantern was different.

[ Meet Shuria. ]

‘But, why did Shuria Kruel come out?’

At the moment when his heart was getting nervous, Iwer slapped her finger in front of Kiehl, who was thinking about something else.

“Young Master. There is a way.”

“…Really?”

“Exactly! It’s enough to show her a figure she’ll fall in love with at first sight.”

“How?”

Iwer confidently clenched her fist.

Kiehl thought he might be able to trust and lean on if it were Iwer, he thought for a moment.

“Let’s go over it.”
