The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

I did it too

I didn’t know Serena would make such a request, so my head went blank for a moment.

“Didn’t you hate being fed by me?”

“All, of course. But I can’t help it because the handcuffs get in the way of eating.”

When I asked if I was mistaken, Serena avoided my gaze and replied hesitantly.

I can’t help it. Do you think I don’t know that even now, handcuffed hands are wiggling hard under the table?

Not being able to eat properly because of the handcuffs was complete bullsh*t.

“Should I release the handcuffs if it bothers me?”

“If the handcuffs come off, I might attack you more. Think carefully.”

She felt that she was clumsy as well, so she hurriedly added her words, but well.

That’s not adding evidence to his words, it’s just a threat.

“Explain the proper reason for asking for food.”

“Are you going to let the hostage die of starvation?”

“I gave you rice.”

“That’s true, but…”

She bit her lip, as if she couldn’t think of anything to rebut.

That’s right. I spread out three fingers and slowly folded them one by one.

“Say it quickly, this is your last chance.”

Before her final fold of her fingers, she gently lifted her bowed head, pursed her lips and reluctantly let out.

“I also… Helped you.”

That was the reason for the request.

As she said, when I was not feeling well, she helped me eat.

But rather than my request, it was Serena’s decision.

“Help… Don’t you want to?”

When the answer was delayed due to worry, Serena muttered in a watery voice.

“No, give me the spoon.”

“Is it fed?”

“I’m feeding you as you ask, so don’t resist needlessly.”

“That’s not going to happen…!”

Even if she helped her half by force, it is true that she was helped.

Even if that wasn’t the case, feeding them wasn’t such a difficult request, so there was nothing I couldn’t do.

“Okay, do it.”

Serena opened her lips at my command. The spoon she settled in her mouth without any hindrance.

“You may close now.”

Serena’s lips were bitten as her spoon was pulled out.

‘Are you surprisingly obedient?’

For the first time in her villain role, Serena got me right.

Of course, even if there was a request from her, Serena’s obedient appearance was a bit new.

“…Why are you looking at me with that face?”

“Nothing.”

The way he listens well is a little cute, so I smiled warmly without realizing it.

Serena gave me a suspicious look, but luckily she didn’t stop taking the spoon and eating it.

“I ate it all.”

“I ate it all.”

The stew in the bowl ran out before I knew it.

I thought you would get up if your stomach was full, but. Serena just stared at me, but she showed no signs of moving.

“Are you still hungry?”

“Not really, but I can’t help it if you feed me.”

She bluntly looked away from me. She didn’t say much, but her signal was to bring it quickly.

“Now, eat.”

She just woke up, so she must be hungry.

I brought the remaining bowl of stew and handed it to Serena.

But again, she didn’t lift a finger, as if she wouldn’t eat unless it was fed.

I want to know who is the hostage and who is the villain.

She couldn’t help but this time, she scooped a spoonful of stew herself and brought it to Serena’s mouth.

“Aren’t you going to eat this?”

She seemed to have no intention of opening her tightly closed lips even though she gave me a colonel directly in front of her mouth.

With her head slightly back, Serena pursed her lips and opened her mouth.

“Joe, you look a little hot.”

Well, I just took it out of the thermal artifact, so it must be hot.

But why? I tilted her head, and Serena reluctantly opened her mouth again.

“Boo, I want it to cool down by blowing on it…”

As soon as Serena uttered her words, she rolled her own eyes and averted my gaze from her.

Both her cheeks turned red in an instant.

But she didn’t cover her face like she did when she asked to be fed.

“I-I did it too.”

Serena, who was nervous while waiting for my answer, looked at me in a daze because it was interesting.

“Did you do it?”

“Didn’t you say that you look hot and ask me too?”

Just like her Serena said, I did that to upset her.

Thinking back, I felt sorry for Serena.

Yeah, there’s nothing she can’t do.

“Now, feed them quickly.”

I felt disgusted watching Serena, who took it for granted that I feed her.

It’s already half ruined, but it’s still a hostage-villain relationship.

“You don’t like it?”

“…Why?”

Serena’s body moved in her chair for an instant, as if she would rise straight up if she couldn’t come up with an answer she could understand.

She was afraid of the aftermath of her fall when things went wrong, but on the other hand, she was very curious about how Serena would react.

“No villain would do that to a hostage.”

Serena’s fine brow furrowed.

She didn’t seem to like my answer, but she didn’t say anything more, as if she couldn’t refute what I just said.

“……It looks like it’s cooled down anyway, so give it to me quickly.”

She didn’t seem to show any regrets about herself, but she clearly showed that her lips were pouting.

Seeing her drooping shoulders in my eyes makes me feel drained of energy as well.

As expected, the lively Serena was better to see than the sullen Serena.

So, shall we end the joke here?

“Hoo~ Now, ah, try it.”

“What are you doing?”

After threatening that she wouldn’t do it, she didn’t know that she would blow it herself to cool it down. Serena asked her eyes wide.

“If you don’t like it, don’t.”

I cooled her down, but she can’t stand it anymore because her anti-magic power is running low. She was about to lower her hand when Serena bit her spoon.

“Isn’t it hot?”

“Warm… warm. Not hot.”

Serena, who mumbled with her spoon in her mouth, answered in a very excited voice.

She felt ashamed of herself doing acts of affection that would only be given to a lover.

“Can you keep feeding me like this?”

“If you want.”

“Really, really?”

She thought she was good to help as she had Serena’s happy smile on her face.

After her meal, she took Serena back to her room at the end of the hallway.

She may not have any point in acting anymore, but as soon as she got back she put a chain on her bed to her handcuffs.

“So vicious.”

Serena muttered in my ear in a voice that she really wasn’t scared at all.

I hated Serena for acting like that on purpose despite knowing everything, but what should she do? It’s all because of my poor acting.

“It’s time to go to bed now. Go to bed.”

“I’m not sleepy, but I can’t help it if you make me do it.”

Lying on her bed, she pulled her blanket over her shoulder.

“Isn’t the clothes uncomfortable?”

“There is no need to look into such details on the villain subject.”

She had been in her uniform for a few days, so she asked Charennen to borrow one of her pajamas, but Serena seemed just fine.

First of all, what should I do since I’ve been wearing an old cloth prison uniform for weeks?

“Come to think of it, where do you sleep?”

Just before turning off the lights, Serena asked me while looking at me sitting at her desk.

“Me? I’m going to sleep on the parlor sofa.”

“…Is it because I took your bed?”

A voice full of regret.

She seemed intimidated by the fact that she had caused damage, and she seemed ready to give up her bed to me and declare that she would sleep on the floor.

“It’s okay to sleep in the same bed as long as it’s okay with you.”

…… I never thought you would ask such a question.

My eyes went to the bed by itself. A queen-size bed, if you sleep together, you can sleep, but it was clear that each other’s skin would touch each other.

It would be a lie to say that I didn’t have a strange imagination even though I understood in my head that Serena didn’t propose it with impure intentions.

“If you don’t like that, I’ll sleep on the floor.”

When I didn’t answer, Serena thought she had been rejected, she said as she prepared to get out of bed.

“I’m fine, I can’t sleep anyway.”

“Is that so?”

When he said that she didn’t have to worry, Serena hesitated, then went back to bed.

She rummaged in the covers and yawned. Serena looked very tired.

Even though the holy woman’s divine power is great, she just woke up, so even if she woke up from a sigh earlier, she still needs to rest.

Turned off the lights in Serena’s room so she could fall asleep.

I floated a lantern so small that the light wouldn’t leak out, and I started turning over the papers relying on it.

“……What are you doing?”

I wonder if even a small fire bothered my eyes. Serena asked in a half-drowsy voice.

“To take care of the paperwork.”

“Documents…? Are you referring to my job?”

“Yes, I have a lot of work.”

I didn’t hide it because it would be exposed someday if I denied it.

But it must have been a mistake to reveal that fact just now, when she heard the word work, she was startled and lifted the covers and stood up.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Then you do it?”

“It’s my job, so it’s natural for me to do it.”

“But now you’re a hostage.”

Serena bit her lip, as if she was reminded of that fact.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get it right though.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m literally doing this to hide the fact that you’ve been kidnapped, so there’s nothing to deliberately ruin.”

It was dark so I couldn’t see Serena’s face closely, but she was puffing out both of her cheeks with her eyebrows clearly frowning.

“Isn’t it okay if you ask me to do it instead of you?”

“You could send a rescue signal without my knowledge. How can I trust you?”

He barely stopped me from getting out of bed, saying that he would help me too.

“But there’s no way you, who don’t even know the letters, can handle it properly.”

“That’s fine, I’ve learned everything.”

“You learned? Letters?”

I nodded her head and handed her a document I had processed.

“Really… looks real.”

After looking at it for a long time, she couldn’t find her flaws and gave it back to me.

“……Isn’t it difficult and annoying for you to hold me like this hostage?”

She

Just when she felt that everything had been resolved, she spat out in a heavy voice, no matter what negative thoughts she had.

“If it was difficult and troublesome, I wouldn’t have let him live.”

“But… I think you have some regrets too.”

“I never said I regret it.”

Serena made up her reason and undermined her self-worth infinitely.

“Are you lying to me to reassure me?”

“Isn’t it?”

If we continue like this, we will have to exchange words endlessly.

She doesn’t hate talking to her, but she’s a patient who needs to get her rested.

I got up and went towards the bed. I slowly pushed Serena’s shoulders behind her, as if she would kick off the blanket at any moment, raising her upper body.

“What are you doing…?”

Serena was taken aback by my sudden action, but she didn’t resist.

So Serena was pushed back by my hand and lay on her back on the bed. I put a blanket over her chest.

“If I regretted saving you, I wouldn’t act like this.”

Serena, who made up her reasons and refuted them, didn’t say anything this time.

“Good night.”

I wondered if she was mad at me for pulling her blanket over her head.

“……You should sleep well too.”

It was fortunate that it didn’t seem like it, seeing as she reluctantly muttered, “Good night.”
