The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

His empty spot (feat – Serena)

Before going to sleep, I held Oran’s hand tightly so that it would not come loose.

The surface is rough with scars, but above all, warm hands.

I never wanted to miss it.

“Ah…?”

When I opened my eyes to the emptiness of his hand, Or An was gone.

I calmed down his trembling hands and groped for where he had been.

A faint warmth. Even if I tried not to think negatively, the thought of ‘no way’ could not be erased from my head.

Morning, you must be preparing breakfast. I hurried out to the living room, but I couldn’t feel Oran’s trace.

…… You must have been away for a while to wash up, right? I opened the bathroom door with a glimmer of hope, but there was no sign that someone had used it.

I hate to admit it, but Oran wasn’t here.

Anyway… It seemed to run away.

But it was fine. It was because the ring that Sharenne gave me as a gift to do well was said to be able to track its location.

So you can always find it and bring it back.

…… There was no need to be agitated.

I skipped all the necessary procedures to visit the royal palace and ran to the detached palace.

Because of being misunderstood as an intruder, a small fight broke out with the knights of the palace. Still, it didn’t take him long to finish it all.

“Shareen.”

“Today, start the day with a leisurely cup of tea… Se, Serena?”

Originally, we would have greeted each other and had a leisurely conversation, but it was a waste of time for that, so we got straight to the point.

“Oran has disappeared.”

“Uh… yes?”

As if it was difficult to accept the sudden information, Sharenne’s face was momentarily colored with a puzzled light.

Her gaze scrutinizes me. After a while, Sharenne’s eyes widened as if she understood the truth of what I said.

“Did Oran run away?”

Charen asked in a voice full of doubt. Her reaction was understandable.

But there was no need to be shaken by the rat in the dock anyway. I nodded my head as calmly as I could and continued.

“I heard that the ring was enchanted with a locator. So I’d like you to tell me where Oran is.”

“Okay… Serena, don’t be angry and listen.”

I had doubts about Charenn’s request not to get angry all of a sudden. Still, he nodded her head as if he knew.

“Actually, the ring I gave you was a couple ring with no function.”

“……What does that mean?”

“You don’t know where the ring is… Serena?”

Unable to control his anger for a moment, he hit the table in front of her with his fist.

Kwajajajak-!

A table split in half, drawing a rough cross-section. The shattered teapot spread the sour scent of black tea everywhere.

My fist was covered in blood, probably because I stabbed it without any skill.

But it was strange. Although the pieces of wood pierced his skin, he felt no pain at all.

Rather, her heart ached so much. It wasn’t even a splinter of wood, but it hurt so much that I couldn’t stand it.

“Ha, but! I stigmatized him just in case!”

Just before she collapsed due to loss of strength in her legs, the pain subsided at Charenne’s words.

For a while, hope shines in my heart.

“Huh…? The stigma that was carved into Oran disappeared overnight…?”

The fact that I will never see him again.

You threw me into a deep panic.

.

.

.

Fireworks beautifully embroidered the night sky as if signaling the end of the festival.

That was something I wanted to see with Oran.

It took me a week to accept the reality that Oran wasn’t coming back.

Of course, in my heart I denied that fact.

However, soon after Oran escaped, he realized that he could no longer deny it when he saw the hordes of invading monsters.

“I expected it, but I didn’t expect it to be this large…”

“It will happen someday, so don’t beat yourself up.”

Ewill added that the sage’s large-scale teleportation allowed the citizens to escape to a safe place.

He was the first to stand up, holding the holy sword, the symbol of a warrior.

“So we just have to do what we have to do.”

Muttering that he would put an end to the long fight by dealing with the remnants of the Demon King’s army, he moved to the battlefield.

“I’ll follow Evil too. Serena… It’s okay if you rest.”

Charen, who was holding my hand, looked restlessly at Evil as she walked away, then reluctantly stood up from her seat.

It was more like a decision made from the thought of wanting to be with you rather than not believing in the warrior’s abilities.

Lovers… Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was alone again.

Even if Oran is alive, he is now an enemy because he sided with the demons and invaded the kingdom.

“If you find Or An, he won’t kill you…”

“No, you don’t have to.”

Before following the hero, I interrupted Charenn’s words to comfort me with a worried voice.

“I will kill Oran.”

Oran sided with evil. The price had to be paid in death.

I brought it upon myself, so it must be my job to cut him down.

Yes, it was destined to be like this.

…… So it wasn’t sad at all.

.

.

.

Evil decided to stop the enemy invading outside the city walls, and Charen said he would protect the city with his knights.

I was in charge of dealing with the monsters that came through the open portal in the park and the magician who opened the portal.

When I arrived at the park, the side road I walked with Oran was messed up by monsters.

It was a small memory of that day.

…… Even though I knew that there was no point anymore, anger welled up in my heart.

I gripped the dagger tightly. Maybe I’ll be a bit emotionally wielded.

I made my way through the pouring monsters like water. At the end, I met a girl I was familiar with.

“Serena, how are you?”

“Giselle, are you the mastermind behind this invasion?”

She tilted her head as she put her finger to her chin and opened her lips.

“Isn’t it true that we gathered demons and monsters scattered like defeated soldiers and led them all the way here?”

“Why did you do this?”

“Because it’s fun.”

“Fun?”

“I wonder what you would look like if you destroyed the puzzle of peace right before it was completed.”

As she said that, she smiled brightly and seemed to really enjoy the situation itself.

“There is no damage to the citizens, and the monsters are eventually cleaned up. Some buildings will be destroyed, but you can build them again. Your plan has failed.”

“Honestly, I think so. I acted too quickly, as if someone had predicted my plans.”

Giselle shook her head and did not look regretful at all.

“But you don’t think this is the end, do you?”

As expected, Giselle seemed to have a plan behind her.

“Originally, I wanted to kill Serena and watch the hero get frustrated.”

As she said that, she murmured, ‘How many times have I poisoned you and you’re still alive?’

“I thought about kidnapping Serena by force, but I thought it would be fun to watch you die by your favorite toy.”

“You bastard… Can’t you?”

“Yes, that’s right. I kidnapped Oran.”

Kidnapped, Giselle kidnapped Orann.

For a moment, I felt relieved that Oran didn’t run away of my own will.

“Perhaps by now all of your old strength and memories have returned.”

At her words like lightning, the accident stopped for an instant.

“Oran will no longer be an obedient puppy that will follow your commands.”

When you say that, Giselle flirts.

She

She doesn’t want to admit it, but when she met Oran again at the Demon King’s Stone, she had a glimpse that his memory was incomplete.

The bad memories associated with me must have faded. That’s why he must have been willing to extend a favor to me.

On the contrary, I thought that Oran, who recalled all the memories, would no longer treat me kindly.

“What are you going to do with the toy that is going to kill you? Do you finish it with your own hands?”

Since I didn’t say anything, Giselle asked sarcastically.

But the answer was fixed from the beginning.

“If Or Ann harms anyone else, he will kill him.”

However, it was my fault for not protecting Oran.

I decided to take responsibility for using his imperfections to satisfy his desires.

“Instead, after I kill him, I will die too.”

The decision is over. Holding the dagger in reverse, I charged at Giselle.

.

.

.

“Ha ha ha ha. You’re amazing. You can handle so many and still stand.”

“…Now it’s your turn.”

“Unfortunately, there are plenty of monsters and demons to fight for me, right?”

I rushed with enthusiasm, but I couldn’t even get close to Giselle because of the enemies that kept pouring through the portal.

Can’t you?

It was the time when I was about to sever Giselle’s head with all my last strength.

“But I don’t think there’s a need for today’s hero.”

“……Oran.”

Oran arrived on the battlefield flapping black wings reminiscent of demons.

As Giselle said, he had regained some strength, although not as much as before.

Maybe even memories… Will be revived

“Stop! If you come any closer, I’ll cut you.”

As Oran approached me, I swung a dagger to block him from approaching.

But he tilted his head and resumed his stopped steps.

It was a light step, as if there was a need for that between us.

It must be a high-level trick to induce my carelessness.

Never, never be deceived.

“…It hurts.”

“All right, I’ll cut your throat next time. So don’t come any closer.”

I made up my mind and cut the approaching Oran.

Red blood dripping down his cheeks. It was a shallow wound.

It was obviously a small wound that was not life-threatening.

The sight of him frowning and touching his cheek all the time made his heart weak.

“Oran-nim? Stop playing around and finish it quickly.”

“You want me to kill Serena?”

“Isn’t it that you’ve already dealt with the hero?”

But I changed my mind about their conversation about overcoming Evil.

Oran is a dangerous foe. So he decided to kill him and die with me.

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

I couldn’t bear to kill Oran.
