Chapter 15 : The Villainess’s Promise

Aria-nim, whose pupils faintly showed between her thin and long eyes, was looking at me with clear pupils, unlike usual.

A soft touch wrapped around my waist and gradually moved up. Was it my imagination?

No, it wasn’t my imagination!?

“A, Aria-nim. That’s as far as you can go.”

“What do you mean, unnie?”

I reached my limit while looking at her smooth expression and picture-like smile.

I can’t go any further…

“Lucy? Lucy!?”

Lucy collapsed.

I didn’t expect this?

Eve was fanning Lucy, who was lying on the bed and looking dazed, and I felt sorry, so I bought ice cream and gave it to Lucy.

“I’m sorry. Eat this and cheer up.”

“Thank you…”

I fed a bite of ice cream to Lucy, who couldn’t eat it by herself, and she widened her eyes, which was cute.

“It’s so delicious!”

“Eat a lot. This is all yours.”

While I was feeding her ice cream, I felt a gaze.

When I looked to the side, Eve was staring at me intently.

To be exact, her gaze was fixed on the ice cream.

“Do you want some?”

“No, I’m fine.”

Eve’s words and actions are different.

When I used a spoon to scoop up some ice cream and put it in her mouth, she finally had a satisfied expression.

“Seriously. Just tell me if you want to eat.”

“I’m fine, Miss.”

She denied it to the end.

Seriously, she’s so shy.

I took a bite of the ice cream with the spoon I used to feed Eve, and then whispered in her ear.

“We had an indirect kiss.”

“……….”

Normally, she would be cursing with her eyes, but she turned her head away with a pout.

Is she seducing me?

I’m seducing Lucy and now even Eve, there’s a limit to how much I can hold back.

In other words, aren’t they telling me that they will bear my children?

“I hope our first child is a daughter.”

“What are you talking about?”

I was relieved to see Eve’s face cursing with her eyes.

Or am I? It’s not something I should be relieved about.

After the three of us finished off a tub of ice cream, Lucy regained her senses.

“I’m sorry, Aria-nim!”

Lucy kept bowing her head and apologizing.

The fragrant scent from her half-dried hair and the valley that was exposed because she wasn’t wearing underwear made me go crazy.

To think that she would seduce me from both sides.

There is a saying in the old days, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.”

I decided that I would do it tonight, and just as I was about to wrap my arms around Eve’s slender waist and approach Lucy, the bell rang.

It was a sound that I had never heard since entering the dormitory.

Who is visiting at this hour?

Eve, not missing the opportunity, quickly jumped out, and Lucy, watching my expression, slipped away little by little.

I don’t know who it is, but I won’t let them get away with this.

I went to the front door with the intention of at least seeing their face, and Clea was there.

And she was still in the same state she was when we parted.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s broken….”

“Huh? What is?”

She hesitated and then opened her mouth, saying that the bathroom in her dormitory was broken.

She said that she didn’t have any friends in the same dormitory, so she came to our dormitory.

As expected, she’s my friend.

I told Eve to guide her to the bathroom, and I told Lucy to prepare some clothes to change into and some snacks.

About 30 minutes passed.

She came out of the bathroom with a refreshed look and sat on the sofa, and when I fed her snacks, she ate them well.

“You don’t have to give me this kind of thing.”

“You were tired today. You need to replenish your energy.”

When Clea, who had eaten all of the snacks, was about to go back to the dormitory, I grabbed her arm.

She looked at me as if asking why.

“You have to pay for what you ate.”

“Y, yes!? What do you mean!? It’s not free!?”

“There is nothing free in this world.”

Clea is currently penniless. She has nothing.

I approached Clea with a sly smile and said.

If she doesn’t have anything, she can pay with her body.

“Y, you! Were you aiming for this!?”

“Of course. That’s why you shouldn’t let your guard down.”

When I touched Clea’s leg, which was clearly exposed due to her short dress, she struggled, which was cute.

“If you count the stars in the sky, it’ll all be over.”

“How can you see the stars in the sky!? Let me go!”

I was trying to set the mood, but then I felt a gaze from somewhere.

When I looked up, Eve and Lucy were glaring at me with terrifying eyes.

Damn it, I failed.

I let go of Clea and surrendered, and only then did Lucy smile and Eve become expressionless.

Clea blushed and said that she would go back, but I grabbed her.

“You’re sleeping over tonight. Where are you going in those clothes?”

“L, let me go! It’s more dangerous here!”

I made a proposal to Clea, who was terrified and refusing.

“I’ll just hold your hand and sleep.”

“Don’t lie!”

After signing an agreement with a stamp, Clea said that she would sleep here for the night.

I told Eve and Lucy to rest since they had worked hard today, and when I tried to take Clea to my room, they glared at me with scary eyes.

“I will keep my promise, so don’t worry.”

“Please rest comfortably, Miss.”

“Please rest comfortably.”

Clea came into the room and looked around.

I laid down on the bed, patted the spot next to me, and called her over.

“Come here. Man.”

“You, is your way of speaking a bit weird?”

I said to Clea, who was hesitating and then lying down next to me.

Let’s go to the city together tomorrow.

“Do you have something to buy?”

“We’re just going to hang out. Friends just wander around for no reason.”

“Friends…”

I will also teach a lonely girl, who didn’t have a single friend, the joy of playing, and when I saw the dormitory earlier, I saw that she needed some things.

To think that they would completely cut off her funding just because she entered Class B.

What a scary family. No, my family is the same.

It’s a good thing that I’m the top student, in the original story, she didn’t receive any support.

Even after entering Class A.

They don’t acknowledge you unless you’re the top student or something.

When I was reading the original story, I was so dumbfounded that I even left a comment, but I should have held it back.

Damn it, I didn’t know that I would be possessed like this. Could it be because of that comment? There are too many things that make me feel guilty, so I don’t know.

At that moment, I heard a mumble in her sleep.

“Umm, cake…”

I covered Clea, who was looking for cake in her dreams because she wanted to eat it so much, and whispered in her ear.

“I’ll feed you as much as you want tomorrow.”

I looked at Clea, who was asleep, and fell into thought.

At first, I was going to get expelled from the academy and leave far away, but I changed my mind in the middle.

To ruin the original story and take revenge.

And now my thoughts changed once more.

Everyone can’t be happy, but I want the people around me to be happy.

To do that…

After finishing breakfast early in the morning, we all went out to the city together.

Despite the early hour, I was looking at the stores amidst the busy people when I saw a familiar face in the distance.

I found her and urged my party to go closer.

“Ruby-senpai!”

A beautiful woman with silver hair and red eyes and a cold impression. Ruby-senpai turned around, confirmed that it was me, and then ran away.

“S, senpai!?”

She disappeared in an instant, and as I was looking at her receding back with a frustrated feeling, Clea patted my shoulder and comforted me.

“It’s your own fault.”

“Why!?”

How did I end up being hated like this?

Because I said her three sizes in front of other people?

Or because I bothered her every time I saw her?

I don’t know. Human relationships are so difficult.

Eve took me, who was feeling down, to a nearby cafe, and then ordered all kinds of desserts.

With my money.

“Isn’t that too natural?”

“I ordered it according to Miss’s taste.”

While she was feeding me cake with a casual face, it couldn’t be helped.

Lucy and Clea were also eating happily and looking out, and Ruby-senpai, who had disappeared, reappeared.

She looked around and then went into a dark alleyway.

But I saw some suspicious people following Ruby-senpai and going into the alleyway.

Did something happen?

“I’ll go to the bathroom for a moment.”

I stood up from my seat and pretended to go to the bathroom, then hid my presence and went into the alleyway, and I saw Ruby-senpai surrounded by some thugs.

She was sweating and clearly on guard.

I was about to approach Ruby-senpai and make a grand entrance to save her, but I had no choice but to stop when I heard the group’s conversation.

“Princess! You must return to the north! The empire’s surveillance network is closing in!”

“I don’t want to. I’m not going back. What’s the point when I’ll die anyway when I go back?”

Ruby-senpai is a princess…? Did she hide her identity all this time?

This is not in the original story.

I carefully approached behind the group, and my eyes met Ruby-senpai’s.

She made a gesture with her finger to cover her mouth and activated her magic.
