The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

Take Care

“I was punished, so can I rest now?”

“…Yes.”

I wonder if it’s right after my head stopped. Hitting a bruise, she belatedly replied.

She shook her head to clear her thoughts. After she came to her senses, she turned her head toward Serena, and the sound of her breathing at regular intervals passed her ears.

Serena fell asleep without even covering herself with a blanket. Even though the holy woman’s holy power was great, it was impossible for her to get better overnight. She still seemed to need more rest.

She put the disheveled blanket over her shoulders and she came out of the demon king’s stone.

“Is Serena awake?”

She

As soon as she came out, she ran into Charen. Sitting in her chair with her legs crossed, it feels like she was waiting for me to come out.

“I just woke up.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’ve given him some medicine, but he still looks tired.”

“I see.”

Shaking her head, Charen took the teapot and poured black tea. Pausing before pouring her second glass, she asked me with a grin.

“Will Oran-nim eat it too?”

“No, I don’t like it.”

“You still don’t notice?”

With her shallow sigh, she brought the teacup to her mouth.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you sitting down?”

Putting down the teacup, Sharenne pointed to the chair next to her with her annoyed voice.

In the first place, my intention wasn’t important.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be kind to the villain who resembles only half the saintess from the novel? Then there will be no wish.

“Did you just curse at me inside?”

“……Isn’t it?”

The only thing that was the same as the novel was the dirty quick notice.

“Huh, I’m asking you to sit down because I have more to tell you.”

Originally, after telling Serena’s condition, she was going to go right away, but since she’s asleep, it’s okay for her to talk for a while and then go back.

Squeaky.

As I sat down in her seat, Charen poured black tea into my teacup. When I stared at her, she replied that she hadn’t heard anything strange, and opened her mouth.

“The reason I sat down with Oran was because I wanted to talk about the mastermind behind this incident.”

“The ringleader?”

Charen took her mouth off her teacup and continued her words.

“Yes, I’ve been looking for the rats that have been hiding in the palace since the last incident.”

I could see something like a white aura behind her back as she smiled brightly. She reminded me of an angelic halo, but well in that it appeared behind Charen’s back.

I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that it was an expression of anger rather than showing kindness or mercy.

“Dog-like demons, I wonder where they are creeping in here.”

As she was sipping her tea, her eyes met.

“Ah, I didn’t mean to Oran-nim.”

Charen pours her own black tea into her own empty cup with a bright smile on her face.

Looks like it was just turned around.

Sharenne obviously noticed what I was thinking and deliberately ignored her and continued her words.

“Is Oran-nim related by any chance?”

“Me? I was imprisoned. Besides, I got the first try instead of Serena.”

“Huh? Did you know that it was an attempt to kill Serena?”

Trying to prove her innocence, she made a slip of the tongue.

“Why did you hide it?”

A group of lights gathered in Charen’s right hand, who asked with her lithe voice.

The light is weaker than yesterday, but even that much is enough to feel the pain of burning flesh.

“Do you not speak?”

Charen smiled her eyes and held out her radiant hand to me. In order for her to live, she had to come up with an answer she could understand, but before she knew it, the hand of Sharenne was close to her.

“…I didn’t want to worry Serena.”

“I’ll give you 80 points. Congratulations on barely crossing the cut-off.”

I spit out what came into her head countless times, but fortunately, the answer seemed to be satisfactory, so she reaped divine power.

“What’s the 100 point answer?”

“Are you curious?”

“A little bit.”

Hmmm, Charen cleared her throat and opened her pink lips.

“She’ll catch and slaughter the rat herself without worrying, so the answer for the 100th place was.”

I can’t even imagine that these were harsh words that came out of the mouth of a saintess.

Seriously, that kind of thing is a saint. She didn’t know that the hero would be pitied.

“Anyway, the main thing is that the ringleader will be quiet again for a while.”

“Do you know who the culprit is?”

When she asked with that feeling in her confident voice, Charien shook her head.

“Yes, but I have no intention of telling you.”

“Then why did you bring this up?”

At my question, she tilts her head.

“You know why.”

“…For what reason?”

“The 100 point answer.”

So, what do you mean, take care of me?

Now, like Oran, I can’t use magic, and I don’t even know how to handle magic, the unique power of demons.

It doesn’t make sense to ask me to kill the guy who tried to assassinate Serena twice.

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Is this a joke?”

“Hmm… I’ll try.”

She reluctantly answered, avoiding the yellow eyes staring at me ferociously. This seems to have added one more reason to escape quickly.

“So, are you doing well with the assignment I gave you?”

“I’m doing well on my own.”

With her spoon in her mouth, Serena made a pained expression. As it turned out, she was such a successful bully that I wondered if she had the qualities of a villain.

“I don’t want to see your confident expression. Let’s talk about it in detail.”

“That’s…”

How can I confidently say to a colleague who is like Serena’s family, ‘Now I’m bullying Serena.’

“By the way, I’m just asking this out of curiosity. So it doesn’t matter what you do with Serena.”

Even if you say that, it’s a bit hard to tell the truth…….

“Would you like to confess, or would you confess after being beaten?”

I explained what had happened to her threats.

“Did you babble in that way?”

Charen clapped her hands at the end of the story and muttered, ‘That’s a good way’ and scribbled something on her notebook.

I don’t know why the word ‘kkongnyangkkongnyang’ has been used since before that. Serena and I are not like that at all.

“I heard a funny story, so I’ll give you a little present.”

Opening the drawer next door, Charen took out a small wooden box and held it out to me. She hesitated to open it, but Charien winked as if to open it quickly.

When I opened the box, two vials of clear liquid caught my eye. Is it perfume? First of all, it looked normal for an item Charennen had given him.

“One is a drug that suppresses the user’s strength, and the other is a drug that increases the user’s libido.”

All of them were dangerous drugs just by hearing about them. I don’t know why something like this popped out of the saintess’s room, but I thought I shouldn’t accept it.

“I don’t think I need it.”

“Evil said that Oran is a eunuch, so you won’t need an aphrodisiac, but you’ll need a sedative?”

“…Aren’t you a eunuch?”

“Then I’ll know you’re taking an aphrodisiac.”

You’re not listening to me at all. Before that, don’t you think it’s a bit dangerous as a weapon given to a villain holding his comrades hostage?

“If you give her a drop of sedative every day, Serena won’t be able to use her powers the way she does now.”

“Why am I using this?”

“This will make it easier for her to play with Serena. She’ll probably be able to play more risky, too.”

“……Then why do you think I want to do that?”

She decided to just accept it in her pathetic eyes as if she couldn’t eat it even if I gave it to her. It’s because you accept it and don’t use it.

“But can’t you put one of them in a different bottle? I’m afraid you’ll get confused.”

“Actually, I’m giving this to you in hopes of confusing you?”

Sharenne replied with a bewildering grin.

Seriously, this is a saint.

“If there’s anything else you need, just let me know.”

“No, enough already.”

But that doesn’t mean Charen didn’t give me proper help.

Not only did she provide medicines and meals for Serena, and daily necessities for Serena to use inside the Demon King’s Stone.

Spreading false information that her Serena was away from her job to cover her absence, or Serena carrying her papers to the Demon King’s Stone. Etc. There are already more than a dozen things that have helped her in setting up a plan to bully her Serena.

“Can I ask a question?”

“Yes, do you die if it’s trivial instead?”

There are times when she is mean to live, but I had a question about her helping out like this.

“Why do you believe in me, a villain, and help me so much?”

“Pughh, is that a question?”

Charen covered her mouth with her hand, from which her laughter escaped. After laughing for a few more seconds, she lowered her hand and opened her mouth.

“Then, on the other hand, why is Oran-nim going to such an effort to help Serena?”

“Me?”

She didn’t expect this type of questioning, so she couldn’t answer right away.

Why should I help Serena?

Why am I Serena?

Why me?

“……I’m not sure?”

“Is that so? Then I won’t answer either.”

As if she wasn’t going to say anything more, Charien made an X by crossing her index finger over her lips.

She knew that she would not respond if she waited, so she packed the box, took out her Demon Lord’s Stone, and prepared to return.

“Please take good care of our Serena.”

Just when the demon king’s stone was working and her eyes were blurred, Charen shouted at me.

I don’t know why she’s saying things like a mother would say when she marries her daughter.

It occurred to her that it was not impossible to listen.

When I returned to the Demon King’s Stone, Serena had just woken up.

“Where have you been?”

Since I had to thoroughly play the psychopath villain, I simply ignored Serena’s question and proudly sat at her desk piled with documents.

I expected to see her a little shaken up, but Serena kept her head down and didn’t respond.

You’re not mad at me for ignoring me, are you?

I shook her head to put her anxious thoughts to rest. Then she pulled out her papers from Serena’s office.

Originally Serena should have done it, but now she’s sick. That said, if I let her go, not only would the fact that Serena disappeared be discovered, but she might get into trouble, so she had nothing to do, so I did it.

‘But why didn’t you say anything?’

She knew Serena would get angry if she touched her papers at will.

When I glanced at Serena in her doubt, our eyes met, as if she was also looking at me.

“What’s wrong?”

Her pupils are constantly blinking. The way his lips opened and closed repeatedly seemed to have something to say urgently.

“Toilet is… in a hurry.”
