The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

Sweet

“Let’s go eat.”

“Is that… The end?”

Did I even wish for something? Upon hearing my answer, Serena’s expression turned sullen for an instant.

Still, it was difficult to concede at this level. Serena, whom she met in a week, was too skinny.

Before she went on a proper date, she thought she wanted to eat well.

“Is there anything you want?”

Yes, I was stubborn.

She presses the brim of her hat tightly on her. With her in her eyes, it is difficult for her to look away.

“…I wanted to have a different experience with you.”

“A different experience?”

Did Serena want something? When I asked her doubts, she blushed.

“…Isn’t it the long-awaited trip? I wanted to walk around with you a little more while I had time to eat.”

After a moment of silence, he serenaded as if to make excuses.

Did she become impatient with the fact that they became lovers? I thought her childlike appearance was cute.

“Then let’s have a quick meal and walk around here and there. Is this okay?”

“Good.”

Serena’s expression quickly brightens.

But it wasn’t long before her eyebrows were raised again.

“…If this happens again, isn’t it moving the way I want?”

“That’s what I want, so wouldn’t it matter?”

“Is that so?”

Her face, which was about to burst into tears, straightened out a little.

“Still, I don’t like being cared for. If you want anything, feel free to tell me.”

She added quietly, as if she couldn’t shake off her utter regret.

Saying yes, she grabbed her outstretched hand. With the distance narrower than usual, we started walking down the street.

Her silver hair rustled in the wind. As I followed it caressing my skin, I met blue eyes looking at a certain place.

“Are you curious?”

“Wasn’t the fish in the sea? It’s just a little surprising.”

Serena’s gaze was directed to the fish tank in front of the seafood store. As the fish moved, her pupils also moved.

There were no children. Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen anything like this while trying to save the world.

“Shall we go over there?”

“…You don’t have to be conscious of me.”

I was deeply moved by her answer. It wasn’t because I wanted to, but because Serena’s gaze was on me, so I just asked indirectly.

“Then shall we go somewhere else?”

“That’s fine if you want.”

As she said that, Serena’s eyes were still on the fish. Apparently, she liked that place.

“No, I’d rather eat there.”

“Oran…”

“I said I wanted to go.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

As soon as I answered right away, her steps, which had stopped, began to move cautiously.

As she walked in step with me, her steps were light. Unable to hide her anticipation, Serena’s blue eyes gradually twinkled.

As expected, I felt like I made a good choice.

As soon as we entered the store, a man who looked like an employee approached us.

“What would you like to eat?”

“I’d like this clam and the fish from that tank over there.”

“I’ll prepare it right away.”

There were a lot of seafood that Or Ann had never seen in her memories and previous lives, but it wasn’t difficult to order.

“Oran?”

“Why?”

“Do you have the ability to read thoughts?”

“You read your mind?”

“You chose all the things I wanted.”

Just as Serena expressed her question, I just chose the menu where her gaze paused.

Serena would feel burdened if I told her the truth.

I answered with a playful smile.

“Doesn’t that mean the two of us got along?”

“It worked…?”

“A good match for a lover.”

“……Lover.”

She had just tilted her head and shook her shoulders. She continued until she pulled down the hat she was wearing.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing happened.”

As she said it was nothing, she stuttered her words like someone who was embarrassed. Seconds passed, but Serena didn’t lift her head.

She lowered her head to examine her face just in case. Then Serena pressed her hat down and blocked my gaze.

I didn’t mean to use it like that.

A few meaningless battles passed. I don’t understand why Serena covers her face, but she doesn’t have to worry.

‘Because he was obviously smiling.’

It was a long time to pass by, but she had a smile on her lips as she pulled her hat tightly.

“The meal is served.”

Avoiding my gaze for a while, she adjusted her hat only after the food was served.

“Let’s go eat…!”

Before asking the reason for her strange behavior, Serena put her grilled clams in her mouth.

Her pale pink cheeks swayed happily. One after another, smiles at the corners of his lips drew lines.

You look happy, so there’s no need to ask. As long as she fed her well, she was content with that.

“Try this too.”

“Why did I pick it up…”

“It just made sense.”

Actually, I only noticed that Serena’s eyes were on her grilled fish.

As she gazed at the fork I held out, she hesitantly opened her lips.

She put a piece of meat on her tongue. After making sure she was well seated, she tried to withdraw the fork, but her lips closed.

“Serena?”

“Oh, I made a mistake.”

A very awkward tone of excuse. As someone who had been watching her for a while, it was clear that what she had just said was a lie.

But does she do any good by biting my fork? Thinking about it that way, it may have been a real mistake.

Anyway, since the fork was retrieved, it must have worked.

“So is it worth eating?”

“It tastes better because you feed it.”

The food went well with her mouth, and her smile was shining brighter than before.

She watched her eat with a more relaxed mind. Sometimes she would put the food her eyes were on into her mouth.

“But don’t you eat?”

I wonder if my actions were burdensome. She said, staring at my fork.

“Don’t mind me, I eat a lot.”

“But until now I’ve been eating alone. This is not fair.”

Muttering that, Serena picked up the scallop of her clam with her own fork and held it out towards her mouth.

“So I will feed you too.”

As if not accepting her backlash, she immediately squeezed her fork into my lips.

A savory and sweet smell that instantly spreads in your mouth.

…… Mellowness? Come to think of it, what I’m biting into is the fork Serena used.

I wasn’t particularly conscious of it, but I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that it was like an indirect kiss.

“Eup… Serena, didn’t you stick your fork too deep?”

“Did it hurt? Mi, I’m sorry. I stopped without realizing it.”

Serena’s fork didn’t come out until I stirred it in my mouth for a long time, even after I put food in her mouth.

“Anyway, you were bad for making me eat alone.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right! I’ve never asked for consideration like this before.”

She gnawed at her own fork and replied bluntly.

Could Serena have tricked me while knowing my consideration? She didn’t mean anything bad, but she lied anyway, so I guess I should apologize.

“Sorry for cheating.”

“I just wanted you to know. I hope you never lie to me again.”

Serena jerked her head to the side of her. Just by looking at it, she looked angry, but one flushed cheek denied it.

Still, pretending to be pouting, she didn’t seem to be able to ease her mind easily. Should I give her something called a carrot?

“I lied, so whatever you ask, I’ll give you an honest answer.”

“Gee, are you serious?”

Serena’s eyes widened. She was even embarrassed by the twinkle in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to it.

‘I thought you were going to ask me what I want to do after dinner.’

Anyway, she seemed to take it in a different way.

Still, there was nothing she couldn’t answer to Serena, so I thought there would be no problem.

“How much do you love me… this is not it. I want you to forget it.”

“You can ask me anything, but why?”

“I thought there was no need to ask since I knew the answer anyway.”

Serena bit her own fork softly. Deeply worried, she hesitated for a while before opening her mouth.

“You want to be with me right now…”

Stopping her words, Serena bowed her head. It was hard to guess what she was trying to say, because she had her hat pressed down like before.

“It’s not even this, so I want you to forget it.”

“It’s okay to ask anything without hesitation.”

Did my advice reach her?

“……How did you hit Evil?”

Serena really asked something.

‘Actually, it could be something I was curious about.’

That’s right, the current hero is the strongest in the world, and I am the remnant of the Demon King’s army, which has become weaker than in the prime of life.

‘Should I mix a little lie?’

If she told the truth as it was, Serena might be worried—but even then, she had already declared that she would only tell the truth.

Because I can’t fool Serena. I said it like it is.

“You took my life.”

“Life…?”

“Because otherwise I won’t be able to compete… Serena?”

As expected, it would have been better to tell a white lie.

Serena’s blue eyes, which instantly turned cold, reminded me of when the demon king was angry…….

No, it felt more frightening than that.
