The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

This is the answer to the confession.

I felt the cold sensation of metal on my skin. If Serena puts even a little bit of strength into her hands, she’ll tear my flesh and vomit my blood.

“Ugh… I have to stab, I have to stab. Oran is already…”

But the dagger stopped right before it stabbed me in the neck, and it only trembled and seemed unwilling to move.

“Since memories of the past have returned, why do you know it’s dangerous…”

Serena’s eyes became damp. Soon, water droplets that grew in size formed on her eyes as if they would fall at any moment.

‘Am I not convinced that I am in danger?’

No, that wasn’t it.

Then why?

Why are you so hesitant to deal with me when you consider me a danger?

‘It’s because of the affection you’ve built up with me.’

There was no clear evidence.

It’s just an inference close to my intuition, but the sad eyes looking at me felt like saying that was the correct answer.

“Serena, just because the memories of the past came back doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten you.”

“What does that mean…?”

Although Serena’s heart seems to be digging through the weakened gap, it caught her heart.

There will never be a moment when she focuses on me as much as now.

“It means that I like you the same way.”

In an instant, Serena’s eyes twisted and she began to shed tears.

“Are you really, really the kind Oran I know?”

“Yes, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Throwing away her dagger, she threw herself into my arms and began to cry.

Her shoulders were so thin that I wondered how she had slashed so many enemies.

It must have hurt a lot. It would have been scary and frightening.

I patted Serena’s shoulder as she was moving so sadly until all of her anger was resolved.

“I didn’t know that Serena would defeat Oran, who took care of the hero.”

Just as Serena’s tears had stopped, Giselle came towards us, holding her sneer in her mouth.

“But the arrogant Serena-nim fell in love with Oran-nim and couldn’t bear to kill her with her own hands.”

In the end, Giselle, unable to hold back her laughter and sneering, speaks in a mocking tone.

“I didn’t expect it at all, and there’s nothing more ugly than this.”

Giselle came to me after picking up the dagger that had fallen on the floor.

“The ending is about being killed by the person you love. A story like this wouldn’t be bad either.”

Giselle said that and placed the dagger in my grasp.

“Oran, please take care of it.”

She smiled tenderly and nodded her head as if telling Serena to take her breath away.

What can I say?

Are you saying that this is funny?

“Hey.”

“Yes, yes…?”

“Can’t you understand the situation right now?”

“Situation, grasp?”

Gisele tilted her head and winked at Serena.

She fell asleep in my arms exhausted from crying, probably because she was relaxed. She was defenseless.

How hard was it? As far as I know, Serena wasn’t one to go to sleep leaving her enemies behind.

On the contrary, she was a grumpy girl who would persevere until the very end and then destroy herself.

…… Is this Oran’s memory? But it didn’t matter.

Her heart was the same as back then, hoping that she would not wake up like this and fall asleep comfortably.

“Shouldn’t we finish it quickly? It might be dangerous if the saintess comes.”

“Didn’t you ask me if I just didn’t understand the situation?”

“I’m sure Oran-nim can’t grasp the situation. Serena right now… Hige!”

I carefully laid Serena down on the field and grabbed Giselle by the collar.

“Oh, Or An-nim? I’m weak now because Magi and her magical powers were consumed while summoning that portal… Gup!”

“Be quiet, he’s sleeping.”

I grabbed her neck because I thought it would be too noisy since I was only holding her by the collar.

“No way…! Betrayal…?! But… Why… Stop…!!”

Giselle continued to speak in spite of being held by her neck.

Duduk-!

I thought Serena might wake up, so I tightened her hand. With the sound of her bones twisting, Giselle’s voice stopped.

Are you dead? It didn’t seem like it, judging by the slight feel of her heartbeat on her fingertips.

It didn’t matter anyway. After throwing Giselle away, I used her lap as a pillow to support Serena’s head.

“You’re not seriously hurt, are you?”

I could hear the sound of her even breathing as she slept peacefully, but as I looked into her eyes at the wounds on her skin, a sinister thought came to my mind.

A war of attrition like this must have been difficult for Serena, who is good at assassination.

It was admirable that he endured this far. To the point where I stroked her hair without even realizing it.

“……Oran.”

Did I stroke it too much out of selfishness? Serena narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Giselle… What happened to Giselle?”

“He’s fallen behind over there. He probably won’t get up for a while.”

“That’s right…”

Serena got up in haste without her body recovering, and after confirming that Giselle had fallen, she lay down on my lap again.

“I’m sorry. I doubted you.”

Serena met my eyes and said in a timid voice.

The image of her biting her lips and waiting for my answer reminded me of a wet cat in the rain.

You have suffered a lot.

In addition to the guilt of not being able to contain the villain, the trust in me must have felt like poison.

There is nothing more cruel than being betrayed by someone you trusted.

“Ugh! What are you doing?”

In the sense of not being sorry, she felt like patting her on the head… At some point, my hand went out first.

Has this been poisoned?

The smoothness wasn’t what it used to be because of the battle, but it hasn’t changed that stroking it calms the mind.

Serena tried to shake it off as if my touch was burdensome.

“This is your punishment for not trusting me.”

“That’s…”

At my words, she accepted my hand without any rebuttal.

I stroked and patted Serena’s hair as much as I wanted.

She deserved to be offended by the way she treated her pet, but she still didn’t look up, shivering as if she felt guilty.

I wanted to play more pranks on her since she seems like she would do anything for me now, but Serena and her lethargy didn’t suit me.

“Hmm, actually, there’s one thing I’m sorry about.”

“What is it?”

Serena, her eyes round, asked nervously.

If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’m betraying myself by shouting, ‘Actually, I’m on the side of the demon king.’

She briefly thought of teasing her as she met Serena’s eyes, which were trembling every moment.

As soon as I put Serena’s wet eyes in her eyes, I couldn’t bear to do that.

“The clothes and robes you gave me are all ruined.”

“……?”

“The warrior tore them all apart.”

Serena’s face, which had been stiff at my answer, gradually loosened up, and her pleasant smile painted the corners of her mouth.

“……That’s nothing to be sorry for.”

“So I’m not sorry for your misunderstanding.”

“But…”

“If you’re sorry, buy me a new set of clothes later.”

Serena’s lips protruded forward, as if disapproving of her.

When I didn’t back down, she finally nodded her head.

With this, you won’t have to suffer alone.

“Shall we move slowly now?”

“There is one thing I want to say before that.”

“Can’t we do it later instead of now?”

I was worried about the scars on Serena’s body, so I wanted to take her to the saintess as soon as possible.

“It’s important.”

She stared blankly at my outstretched hand, then closed her eyes and said.

What the hell do you want to ask? When she slowly opened her eyes, she had a very serious expression on her face.

“What do you mean?”

“Have you recalled all your memories?”

“I don’t think it’s all.”

Although there are a few things that come to mind other than the scenes I saw in the novel, that’s part of it.

There were still many blanks in Oran’s memory.

But the potion Giselle gave me continues to weaken the power of her curse. One day it will all come to mind

When I told her my thoughts, Serena muttered, ‘Is that so?’

Serena looked like she was going to cry at any moment. Hesitantly, she opened her mouth.

“…If, very if. If memories come to mind of you not thinking well of me, what would you do?”

Even though her eyes always shined brightly without losing their blue light, they looked especially dangerous today.

Since when did you have such a weak mentality?

I shouldn’t have thought like this, but I felt so cute seeing her wince at every word I said.

Eventually, she couldn’t stand the feeling and stroked her hair.

Serena shook her head in surprise. In response, she smiled and opened her mouth.

“The way I treat you won’t change.”

If I’m the same person as Oran and I simply lost my memory, it doesn’t mean that my current memory will disappear.

So, her feelings for Serena would never change, even if new memories of her came to her mind.

“Serena didn’t trust me?”

“Ho, she just asked just in case.”

As she said that, she muttered, ‘I’m sorry,’ and her earlobes turned the color of ripe apples.

Serena immediately lowered her head. It would be fun to leave it like this and watch her reaction, but I just didn’t have time anymore.

The warrior who was knocked out after being hit by me was coming here.

The murder she felt sent chills down her spine, so she would never die gracefully.

By the way, now I’m flying over here, but I’ve used all my strength, so I don’t have any strength left to resist.

“It’s time to die.”

“What, what? Why are you saying that?”

Serena lifted her head in surprise at my sigh. Both of Serena’s cheeks were exposed in peach color because of that.

She tried to cover it by pulling her hair back, but her silver hair accentuated her blushing cheeks.

Still, I think I had a good last look.

“Oran! Don’t stay like that and talk properly…!”

“The champion is coming here.”

“Hero…? Didn’t you kill him?”

“Why am I killing him?”

In the first place, it’s an existence I can’t kill.

“Evil would have jumped at her life-or-death, but she did such a favor, she’s sorry but thankful.”

“Huh…?”

“Didn’t you spare Evil’s death in fear that I would be sad?”

Serena seemed to be mistaken about something.

No need to correct… There won’t be

Above all, because he will die soon.

“Oran, I’m by your side, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“You don’t even have the strength to lift a sword right now.”

“Isn’t it just a matter of talking?”

If it was resolved through dialogue, there would be no reason for me to put it on the floor.

She sighed inwardly and opened her mouth to say her goodbyes to Serena, but she spoke first.

“Well, if you’re that worried, would you go into the Demon King’s Stone? I’ll convince Evil.”

Suddenly, I thought that I would be safe inside the demon king’s stone.

Above all, I don’t think the hero will ever cut Serena.

I nodded her head and Serena immediately let me into the Demon King’s Stone.

“Before you go, I have something to tell you. Come closer.”

Serena, who was preparing to go out to meet her warrior, suddenly gestured to me.

A story to tell? I approached her out of curiosity.

Page.

– With a sound, I felt the touch of something hot on my cheek.

“This is the answer to the confession.”

By the time she came to her senses, Serena had already gone outside.

With her absence, he wondered if the job he just had was a dream.

It was not a dream in the sense that her warmth lingered on her cheeks for a long time.
