- How to tame the villain
The rain in summer soaked the ground as if it didn’t know how to stop, and the dry firewood burning was the only sound.
He was looking at me with dissatisfied eyes.
“I really couldn’t help it. I couldn’t let you catch a cold, could I?
“….”
“I am not a strange person.”
The villain has been very cautious with me since that day.
Oh, look at that look.
“It still doesn’t make sense for you to say that you have no purpose. Be honest with me. Did you save me for money?”
Instead of responding to that, I chose to light a log fire.
Better to keep the conversation at least concise. It was difficult to get acquainted.
“If you want money, I’ll make it up to you.”
“Sorry, but it looks like you have no money.”
“…….”
“And there really wasn’t…”
I muttered under my breath.
It wasn’t my intention, but I found out that he didn’t have a lot of belongings when I organized the villain’s clothes.
I wonder if my words made him offended, he pouted his mouth and then quickly turned his head out the window.
He sighed a shallow sigh, seemingly judging that it was too much to get out of with his body, as the summer rainy season kept coming down hard.
Like a cat trying to escape quickly, I had to keep watch because he was looking for an opportunity.
Fortunately, he knew it was dangerous to go outside during the rainy season, which is why he appeared to be hitting on a city street.
On such a rainy day, the evil spirit intensifies.
If he fired outside, it was difficult to guarantee his life, so it was better to stay still.
“Do not move. I mean that the wound can open. “
Even after one day, the two of us were still here.
The first reason was that he was seriously injured, and the second reason was that it took time for him to use memory erasure magic.
‘I used all my mana to heal him.’
Misaligned bones were hard to get back with potions, so I squeezed and poured mana down to a drop.
As a result, my mana ran out and I had to wait a few days for it to return.
Will it be safer to get rid of the memories?
I shook my head not understanding, but the line of sight got stuck.
“Is there a problem?”
“Yes? No, no. You don’t need to know. No problem, so go to bed quickly and sleep so it doesn’t hurt.”
He covered the blanket and I stroked him, and his pretty eyes were distorted for no reason.
He seemed to hate being treated like a child, but he was still a real child.
There was also a good point because the villain was in the budding stage.
I doubted the reason I was unconditionally caring for him, and I explained diligently, waving my hands.
He was running errands and I found you, and he brought you here because you looked sick.
That is really the only thing.
‘Please, believe me, believe.’
I desperately persuaded him the entire time with bright eyes.
Even though he was a villain, he seemed to believe my words to some extent, because it was still time to speak.
Still, he didn’t get used to unfamiliar places, he remained as cautious as his eyes.
As proof of this, he was still sleeping in a corner of the wall.
My stubbornness was also the same, I put him on the bed in this little cabin, and I wrapped him with a bandage all over his body and even crumpled him on a sofa against the wall.
Should I say that he is really stubborn as the villain…?
“Why are you telling me to sleep when I can’t sleep? Are you going to hit me on the back?”
I could understand how short and rude the words were.
Because a villain is negative about everything.
However, it is absolutely impossible to open the wound that has been very difficult to heal!
“If you were going to hit me on the back, why bother me? You wouldn’t even care.”
“…….”
“So why don’t you keep trying to get confirmation? If he says it because he’s grateful, stay still. That’s convenient for me too.”
He looked at me with a sideways glance.
“The wound will heal very soon. Do not bother yourself.”
That was correct up to a point.
Because the villain is pedigree, he has better resilience than normal people.
However, it is true that he is not completely cured yet, so I slightly ignored his words and went into treatment.
Chuck is strong on the subject of frowning with just one touch.
You pretend to be strong by frowning only by lightly pressing it.
“It’s strangely sharp.”
“The wound is deep, so please be patient. If it hurts, well, I can give you the hem of my sleeve? Do you want to bite?”
“I do not need. Ugh.”
It was also true that she had applied the most stinging high-grade potion, but she decided to pretend not to notice it.
Ah, my pretty collection of potions.
“The bandage came off. Would you like to extend your right arm first?”
He calmly extended his right arm with a distrustful look.
I ripped the hem of the cloak into several pieces and made a long string.
Although it was just a falsehood since the nobles were nobles, the fabrics belonged to the upper classes, and there were not many commoner families who could buy such fabrics.
If you tear off the skirt, her status of aristocrats will be exposed, so this plain cloak would be appropriate.
I got this as a gift, so it was a pretty expensive outfit, but…
I removed the wet bandage and wrapped a stiff cloth around the poorly healed wound.
The knot was tied sloppy, but it would be a temporary measure.
However, occasionally spitting was a problem.
“The medicine for the treatment of internal injuries was a strong drug. You didn’t eat anything until today, did you? Have some of this.”
I held out the bread in the basket and a plate of a barely-boiled soup.
“How can I trust you?”
“Um, I thought it smelled delicious. My cooking skills are better than I thought.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Yeah, I know. I also don’t believe in people that I don’t know. But I healed you, who was very dangerous and suspicious. Don’t you think that you can trust me a little bit?”
The villain clenched his jaw and swallowed his words.
Also, you’re still a kid.
I was obligated to save him.
Even if we don’t become friends like in the original story, at least I won’t die.
Because the place where the villain suddenly sprouts and lying down was our estate.
What if he didn’t get well and went back to the Duchy with a serious illness?
But what if you point to me or our estate as the cause?
Then, not only was it the villain’s dead-ending, but my estate might also disappear in a barrel.
“My dream is to live a long time and become a great grandmother, so don’t be too harsh and just take a bite. It’s not even that bad.”
“······.”
“Are you really not going to eat?”
As I spoke in a sullen voice, his lips slightly opened and closed repeatedly.
I pretended to be even more pitiful, pushed him to the corner of the sofa, and squatted down next to him.
“Then I won’t eat either.”
“What?”
“If you don’t eat, I won’t eat either. We starve together and fall. I might die like this.”
Even when each other’s stomachs rumbled, no one was the first to break their stubbornness.
In the end, I took my first bite, and then he took the spoon with a little hesitation.
“Oh.”
He took a bite and looked at me with surprised eyes.
His red eyes shined innocently, so I had to hold my mouth shut to hold back my laughter.
“Is it delicious?”
But he didn’t answer, probably because he was embarrassed about what happened earlier.
Instead, he emptied five plates in the blink of an eye, looked down at the empty plates, and turned his eyes to this side.
“If you’re looking for a chance to let my guard down, keep that in mind that it’s a waste of time.”
“Yes, yes.”
I guess I should just say thank you frankly, but as a future villain, I couldn’t be honest.
The sound of rain pounded on the dirt floor for a long time, and he turned to the wall and fell asleep.
if you don’t mind.
* * *
“Alexander.”
About the day my mana returned, the evil Sprout* spoke to me.
(T/N: I have no idea why Mc calls him sprout)
What is it? Looking at him, he sighed heavily.
“My name.”
You’re nailing the wedges properly.
The villainous second male lead, Alexandian DiGester.
“What are you?”
“……what?”
“Your name. I will pay off the debt of your life, so tell me your name.”
“······.”
“You asked a lot about me, and you didn’t tell me anything about you.”
The blanket he was covering fluttered.
With a dissatisfied expression on the sofa, dust flew away, and the villain’s sharp gaze pierced through the hazy air.
“Do you hate me that much? You don’t even want to come close. I don’t want to take off my hood. Why are you being kind?”
There was a strange sadness in that voice.
Well…….
Maybe that’s what this situation means?
‘Welcome to the shortcut of Dead Flag.’
This is what it means.
There’s nothing good about being involved with a villain.
What good name should I say?
Well, ah, yes!
“Jam.”
It was the name that came to mind when I remembered that saw the strawberry jam on his lips.
I wiped the area around my mouth, so he didn’t notice.
Alexandian frowned slightly and rubbed his cheek with a bewildered expression.
“Do you mean sweet?”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
“Jam.”
He uttered his name with a serious expression on his face.
Also, I was too lax for a pseudonym…
“Isn’t the name a bit odd? It’s too simple and childish, hahaha, actually, I don’t even like it even a little bit.”
“Not bad.”
I thought he would laugh at me, but he was surprisingly serious.
What, are you not awake yet? Alexandian rolled his eyes as if he was tired.
“Give me your hand.”
“Hand?”
Then he reached out one of the rings he was wearing and held it tightly to my hand.
“It will be the price you paid me.”
That is, sell it and make money.
I looked at him in surprise.
“And that cloak, you must be uncomfortable, so take it off. As you see, I have a lot of scars too. It’s no different.”
“Huh?”
“I mean, you don’t have to cover your body. Don’t hold your breath. I’m not the kind of idiot who can only look at the outside.”
There seemed to be a big misunderstanding.
That’s not the reason I’m wearing a cape.
Perhaps the villain thought there was something she didn’t want to be seen.
But as the voices he spoke word by word, I had no choice but to listen.
I can’t say no to your seriousness.
Blinking his eyes heavily, he muttered and fell asleep immediately.
‘Won’t he wake up soon?’
I’m sorry, but my favor ended here.
Now that he is completely healed, my strength is back.
As in the original story, if I continue to be friends with him, my future will be in danger, so we should stop at this point.
He’s just a villainous second male lead, and I’m the main character of the original.
It was better not to remember today for each other.
“Forget about the week.”
Whispered magic into his ear.
I felt sorry when I took off each finger that he held tightly on the hem of my clothes.
And I ran out of the cabin.
For the first few days, I was worried that he would catch me, but fortunately, Alexandian seemed to have completely forgotten me, so there was no wanted notice or any revenge.
* * *
…I thought there wouldn’t be.
Why will he take revenge belatedly after eight years?
Does he have a long grudge, or wearing a blanket reminds you of the old days?
“Marriage, who? Me?”
“That’s what happened. Julietta.”
What happened?
I couldn’t believe this reality, so I stared at the floor a few times.
And rubbing her eyes, she looked at her mom and dad’s round faces again and blinked again.
Whether the writing on this white piece of paper was real or what I was seeing was real, with a slight denial, I saw a letter asking for marriage, not a death sentence…
〈…The duke is looking forward to the day when he will see Miss Trisha.〉
“Duke of DiGester?”
For a moment, I felt dizzy and the whole world seemed to make fun of me.
‘Julietta Tricia.’
‘Marriage.’
‘Alexandian DiGester.’
There were two options.
Responding to the villain’s invitation and getting the worst ending or giving up the title and going bankrupt.
