The Villainess, Cecilia Silvy, Doesn't Want to Die, so She Decided to Crossdress

This is a certain after-school story.

"Speaking of which, Dante, come on. Are you still in touch with Mr. Merlin?

In the colloquial room of the dorm where no one is, Cecilia asked Dante that.

Merlin is the woman who was at the head of the assassination group, Heymart, to which Dante used to belong. After Cecilia's kidnapping, the organization was dismantled and reorganized. They're working as a few elite covert organizations now.

Dante rounds his eyes to her words that he doesn't even think about.

"With Merlin? Why?"

"No, somehow?

Dante raises a single eyebrow at those words that are badly toothed.

"Yes, but unilaterally."

"Unilateral?

"Feel like we're only reporting to each other? Over there and me, through Huey. But that's right, I'm not part of the organization anymore, and I'm not in regular contact. If my friend finds out that I've been in regular contact with illegal armed groups, Oscar's in bad shape."

After shrugging his shoulder, he zeroes, "... well, I'm doing it so you don't find out".

"It is."

"What's going on? Can I help you with something?

To Dante's words, Cecilia shakes her head in a panic.

"No! No! Mr. Merlin, I was wondering how you were."

"How are you?"

"Yeah. I thought you weren't asking me about the injury."

Dante turned his eyes round as surprised.

"Do you care?

"Well, thank you for your help."

"I'm already pimping. I don't care when you call me from the Sylvies, I'm recovering."

"haha......"

Cecilia had zero bitter laughter. That offer still seems valid.

I'd prefer nothing to rely on if I could, but in this bad-end and back-to-back state, I might not be able to say so either.

"Well, if you need anything, thank you"

"Anytime."

Even if they get out of the organization, they'll do about a liaison. Dante said so and raised the edge of his lips.

"Nevertheless, Cecil is as popular as ever. Normally, you worry about the killer who kidnapped you?

"When I say the kidnapper, it's not like Mr. Merlin made me do it... Besides, it's my fault Mr. Merlin got hurt.... and more..."

"And?"

"I hope you two keep in touch."

"What?"

"You two are family, aren't you?

Dante opened his eyes wide to the words. Stiffens for a while as it is.

"You worried about me?

"I wonder if you mean worried...... I wish the two of you were close. I just thought so."

"Oh well."

Dante had a nibbly grin as she tried to make her shoulders jump. Keep it up, sneeze and stir Cecilia's head.

"Wow!!"

"You're a good boy, Cecil."

"Then you're making fun of me!?"

Dante waves her head with a smile in her confused voice.

"I didn't, I didn't. I just thought I liked it."

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

There were other voices than the two, and Cecilia and Dante looked at the door at the same time. There is the figure of Gilbert that solidifies. His eyes were directed at the two of us.

To hardening Gilbert, Dante shook his shoulder and laughed, then hugged Cecilia as much as he wanted.
