The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

Then you come with me…

Now I was holding my handcuffs with one hand and half-lifting the mask with the other.

There is something strange about this alone. But even more strangely, Serena was sticking a skewer of chicken in her mouth.

That’s while waiting for me to eat it.

‘A colleague of a warrior who helps the villain eat.’

Something must be wrong. But why does it feel familiar?

“Oran? Why don’t you eat? Maybe you’re not hungry?”

“That’s not it…”

I woke up hungry after passing out for half a day.

So you just have to eat what Serena gives you.

How can I say that she feeds her even though it is not a special situation of taking care of her.

It seemed like something only lovers do.

“My arm hurts. Hurry up and eat it.”

“Is it okay if I…?”

“Yes, I’m handing it to you, isn’t it?”

Serena tilted her head with an expressionless face as if it was obvious ‘common sense’.

She doesn’t feel anything strange about her behavior.

…… Wasn’t she overinterpreting her favor on my own in the first place?

In her shame, she took a bite of the skewer she held out.

Sweet sauce that spreads in your mouth and the savory yet tender taste of chicken.

As soon as I received it and ate it, she gave me the chicken skewers again with an expressionless face.

“Is it delicious?”

“Yes, it was delicious.”

It was understandable why Serena had come here alone.

“Is it okay not to eat more?”

“Yeah, that’s enough. More than that, you need to eat too.”

She couldn’t eat anything because she was helping me.

Because Serena needs to eat too. I lowered the mask I was holding.

As she was about to hand her skewer to me, she stopped when she saw my action.

Contrary to what she thought, Serena didn’t lift a finger.

As she glances at the rest of her questioning her, Serena opens her mouth wide with her eyes closed.

It wasn’t hard to figure out what its intentions were.

But why? Apparently, Serena, unlike me, has one hand free, so she could eat alone.

But you’re asking me for a favor.

Maybe.

“How is it?”

“Delicious.”

Perhaps he doesn’t want to owe me money.

Following Serena’s eating speed, I slowly moved her hand holding her skewer and looked at her.

“Eat carefully not to spill.”

“Okay.”

Looking at Serena wriggling with a blurry smile, probably because it’s delicious, I smiled too.

Something felt strange.

Actually, she didn’t help me because I was helped by her.

To the extent that I wonder if it might be helping to satisfy my extremely personal desires.

…… No, no. It was the first time he came out of prison, so he must have been so excited that he made that mistake.

“Oh, I ate it all by myself.”

I don’t know how much I enjoy it… I don’t think I could even feed it, but the bowl was already empty.

“Wait a little, Oran. I’ll give you more soon.”

“No, it’s fine.”

“You only ate one. Aren’t you hungry?”

Obviously it was like that at first.

Watching Serena eat deliciously, she naturally felt full.

Even though I said it was okay, she ordered food again. Before long, twice as many skewers were on the table as before.

“Come on, do it.”

At first, she was grateful to Serena, who fed her herself, and felt like an angel.

But the way she put the last remaining skewer into my mouth muttering, ‘Because I can’t starve to death’ even though her stomach was already full.

To be honest, she looked so mad that goosebumps ran up her arms.

“Are you feeling unwell…?”

“A little.”

As a result of not being able to refuse what Serena gave her and eating it all, she felt uncomfortable as if she would spill out everything she ate at any moment.

“I’m sorry. You need to eat a lot, so stop…”

Serena blames herself with her head down. To mean okay, she patted her on the shoulder.

I thought of myself in the first place, but how can I say anything.

“Let’s go for a walk instead.”

“Good.”

I thought that after walking for a while, my stomach would go out, so I followed the signpost that said it was a park.

A long promenade around the moonlit lake. The little grass bugs that made a rustling sound calmed my mind.

Until I noticed a few couples on the promenade.

Couples who just passed by us said, ‘I love you.’ Or ‘No, I love you more.’ I did the same dyeing.

Real or fantasy worlds and couples aren’t that different.

Assuming that passing quickly was the answer, I tried to speed up, but Serena suddenly stopped.

I wonder why, as she turned her head, she pointed with her finger at a small byway beside her promenade.

“Go here.”

“Isn’t it too gloomy? It looks like a street no one goes on.”

“That’s why it’s good.”

While saying that, Serena whispered in my ear, ‘It’s a secret place that only people in the palace know about’ and took me down a side road.

Coming to think of it, couples wouldn’t go down a dark road like this, so I don’t think there’s anything to frown on.

As expected, Serena didn’t like seeing couples either.

After walking silently, before I knew it, I came deep into the promenade.

“I couldn’t thank you enough for your help.”

Breaking her silence, Serena squeezed the hand that held her tightly and said.

“What do you mean thank you?”

“The documents you handled for me. Thanks to that, the festival was able to be held stably.”

That was not to be appreciated. I was responsible for what happened because I imprisoned Serena.

“There could have been a mistake.”

“No. You did a good job.”

Serena seemed unwilling to deny that she had helped her, even though she went back and said that she didn’t need to thank her.

Because receiving compliments isn’t particularly bad. I shrugged her shoulders and agreed.

“After realizing that you are good at your job, I have a question. Is it okay if I ask?”

Now it’s a relationship between a prisoner and a prisoner, but is it stupid to be allowed to ask questions?

No, it seemed like consideration.

She looked very cute as she gulped down her saliva while waiting for my answer.

I nodded her head to mean whatever you want.

“Do you think I’m fit for the position of chancellor?”

I thought about the answer for a while. When Serena asks if she’s a good fit for the role of chancellor, the answer is, of course, no.

In the first place, the reason why the hero made Serena sit as her chancellor was because she didn’t want Serena to see her blood in her era of peace.

Also, each of her co-workers has a lover and goes with her, but Serena, who was left alone, must have thought that if she wasn’t caught somewhere, she might leave.

That’s probably why she gave Serena a role that didn’t suit her.

She wondered if she would lie for Serena’s sake, but she told it the way it was.

“I don’t think it suits you at all.”

“…Why do you think so?”

“You can’t work.”

Serena might be happy if she told her lies, but she didn’t like the very act of cheating on her.

And Serena must have known her answer to the question she was asking to some extent.

The reason I asked was probably because I needed courage.

“…That’s true. I’d rather have a sword than a pen.”

Still, was hitting too much with facts? As she held Serena’s eyes on the instantly depressed Serena, she felt a desire to comfort her.

But, as a villain, am I the hero’s ally?

…… I made a mistake, so there was nothing I couldn’t do.

She reached her hand out of her pocket and stroked Serena’s silver hair.

It was obviously stroked to comfort her, but the more she touched her hair, which was smoother than silk, the more I felt strangely addicted to it.

“What are you doing?”

Perhaps because she was deeply troubled, Serena responded two beats late.

“The grass seems dead.”

“Yeah… I’m sure you’ve heard that. Rather than that, what’s the connection between feeling bad and you stroking my hair?”

Relationship, in fact, there was no such thing. When I saw her hair shining even more in the moonlight, I was drawn to it without even realizing it.

But she added a little reason, fearing that if she said it outright, she would be treated like a lunatic.

“I was just trying to fix the protruding hair.”

“…But this doesn’t make me feel better.”

Serena got excited and turned her head to the side, but she didn’t let go of my hand stroking her hair.

He said that he was not in a good mood, but fortunately his face became a little brighter than before.

“You know, Serena. Nothing fits perfectly.”

“…What do you mean all of a sudden?”

I don’t know if this is the bottle and the medicine.

Even if Serena’s mood has eased up a bit in her, I want her to completely shake off her worries.

“Even I was a servant of the Demon King in the past, but now I’m walking by your side, right?”

I don’t know if this example will work. Still, it’s better than not doing it.

“The Demon King’s minion and the hero’s companion. It’s an unlikely combination, but the reason this relationship is possible.”

Serena’s lips pouted out. Don’t you like what I said?

Still, I wanted to say the last thing.

“It was only possible because you worked hard and didn’t run away.”

Documents piled up in her office. There was no part untouched by her.

I’m obviously clumsy, but that’s why I put more effort into it.

“So if you keep working hard, I think one day you can be the right person for the position.”

They heard me say, ‘Don’t run away…… Serena muttered the word ‘…’ Over and over again.

I was told to put my mind at ease, but I think it made me fall into deep trouble.

“……There is something I want to ask you.”

Then, as if she had made up her mind, Serena took her luck.

“You said it was a combination that didn’t suit me.”

The light pink lips parted slightly open and let out a serious voice.

“But if you don’t think about everything because you’re the Demon King’s minion and the hero’s companion.”

Eyes that shine more beautiful than sapphire look up at me and ask.

Weak eyes that look like they’re about to break at any moment. But because of that, it seemed more resolute.

“Then you come with me…”
