Just Because I Have Narrow Eyes Doesn’t Make Me a Villain!

TN: Thank James Baily for the chapter.

“…Ugh, my head.”

As soon as I came to my senses, I grabbed my throbbing head.

The pain felt as if my head was being stabbed with a sharp object.

Along with the headache, I felt the sensation of my mouth being cracked and stuffy.

…Water, I need water.

“Ugh, water…”

As if there was a drought, I tried to get up and find water to quench my dry throat.

That was until something stopped me and prevented me from getting up.

“…huh?”

Chin, chin.

Because I had just woken up, I was still not fully conscious.

…Honestly, I wanted to sleep a little more.

I was planning on just drinking water and lying down again, so I tried to get up with my eyes closed.

However, I became puzzled and annoyed by my body’s inability to move as if it were wearing a seat belt.

There was nothing like this in the dorm.

What on earth?

With that thought in mind, I opened my eyes with annoyance and wanted to put that item away…

Both eyes open wide.

I realized firsthand what those words meant.

“What, what, what, what…!”

What kind of situation is this?

Due to the sudden situation, I was speechless for a while, forgetting that I had planned to get up just a moment ago.

The reason why I couldn’t move…

When I lowered my eyes, Siwoo’s arms held me as if it were natural.

“Hey, hey!”

What should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do?

How do I get out of this? How do you get out without Siwoo knowing?

What on earth did I do last night?!

I closed my eyes and tried to pretend to be as calm as possible and think about yesterday’s events, but it was no use.

…Because I couldn’t remember anything.

“Argh, the three of us were definitely drinking…”

And I have no memory.

I thought I roughly figured out how much to drink the last time the four of us ate together.

Could it be that I couldn’t control myself?… Or was the alcohol content different?

No, that’s not what’s important right now.

The moment the film of the movie stopped, I woke up to find myself in the bed of the opposite sex.

As soon as I came to my senses, cold sweat rolled down my face as the information pounded into my head, and my complexion turned pale.

…Did you do it?

You really did it?

Well, that can’t be true.

Anyway…huh? Yes?

I tried to raise my body to urgently check, but Siwoo’s arm still didn’t budge.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

It’s not that I can’t escape.

I can use my mana to force them apart.

…But then Siwoo will wake up.

What would he say if he saw this situation now?

I was afraid that he would say something.

That’s why I had to stay in his arms for a long time, unable to force myself to get out.

…Ah, it’s warm.

“…”

Maybe it was because I only held on to this bracelet for a while.

Was it because I felt relieved thinking Siwoo’s embrace meant I wasn’t being abandoned?

Or was it because I was lying in the blanket’s warmth, shielding me from the chilly air outside?

Feeling reassured by the warmth enveloping my whole body, I stopped struggling to break free.

Hmm, yeah.

Is there really a need to go out?

My throat is a bit dry, but it’s not unbearable.

It’s been chilly in the mornings lately due to the changing seasons.

If I go outside in this situation and fully wake up, that would be regrettable too.

I feel a bit tired, so yeah.

According to a book I read before coming to this world, your back hurts the day after doing that.

I don’t particularly feel pain, and it’s Siwoo, right? It should be fine.

Feeling slightly uncomfortable, I adjusted my position.

“He’s still not up yet?”

Looking at Siwoo this way and that, it didn’t seem like he was awake, so I assumed he was still sleeping.

Then, you know…

Tossing and turning a bit in your sleep is normal, right?

Yeah, definitely.

What was it called, a hugging pillow?

With the feeling of hugging a big pillow like that, I adjusted my position and tried embracing him.

It didn’t feel soft and fluffy like a pillow.

Rather, I should say it felt hard due to his well-trained muscles.

So it should definitely be uncomfortable.

It should be uncomfortable, but…

Why does it feel so comfortable?

“…”

I don’t know.

I still don’t really know yet.

I decided to think that way.

To feel the warmth better, I snuggled closer and hugged him once more.

It really is warm.

I pushed aside the thought that Siwoo might be flustered when he woke up.

If he’s flustered… Right.

Siwoo neglected me for a while.

I should think of it as his punishment.

Closing my eyes, I could clearly feel my heart beating.

And after a short while…

As the sound of my heartbeat gradually decreased and my breathing became steady…

Siwoo, who had been motionless for a while, opened his eyes.

“Phew, I thought I’d get caught.”

*Amelia POV

“Is that true?”

“Yeah, it’s true. Satisfied?”

I wondered why he called me and Dorothy after so long.

Dorothy and I were overjoyed to hear his words.

“As expected! Dorothy, you’re a genius!”

“Heh, I am pretty smart. Will you call me a dating genius?”

“Of course!”

“You’ve never dated before…”

“Be quiet!”

Anyway, that guy has no tact.

Does Intuition not cultivate it?

“You should have pounced on her then, so it’s disappointing that you didn’t, but…”

“That’s a crime, you know…”

“What are you talking about? If there’s consent, it’s not a crime.”

It’s Arte who agonizes over various things alone and suffers inwardly.

Even though she told him herself, has he still not realized?

He’s just denying it, but Arte has already fallen for Siwoo.

It would be no problem if he pounced on her.

At first, she would struggle, but if he just whispered a little love, she would easily give in.

Amelia imagined the scene of Siwoo pouncing on Arte and whispering love, then shook her head.

There’s no way this virgin guy could do that.

In Amelia’s view, that was the fastest path, but this guy would obviously never do such a thing, even if he died.

It’s a bit frustrating, but oh well.

That’s something we can use a little force to help with.

“As you know, Arte has been very lonely because of you.”

“Ugh.”

“That’s why she drank so heavily.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Nothing much. Just stay close to Arte for today.”

It’s impossible to make this guy who cherishes Arte to the point of frustration pounce on her.

Then there’s only one answer.

Make Arte pounce on Siwoo.

Of course, it’s a bit difficult since she doesn’t know her heart properly.

But conversely, if we can just make her realize her feelings, everything will be resolved.

“Stay close to her. She’s having a really hard time.”

“Is that all?”

“Yeah. She hugged you tightly in the morning, right?”

“…Got it.”

There’s no guarantee Arte will pounce on Siwoo.

She didn’t even consider that thought.

Well, there’s no way Arte, who gets so jealous and possessive, wouldn’t pounce on Siwoo.

The reason she’s not taking any action now is because she doesn’t know she likes Siwoo.

The expression she showed recently when he was sticking with Dorothy.

Dorothy even explained herself, terrified by that expression.

Though it didn’t seem like a trusting expression.

And the way she glared frighteningly at the senior who tried to get friendly with him before.

Amelia was convinced.

If Arte just realizes she likes Siwoo, something incredible will definitely happen.

She really wants to witness that, but…

Arte, consumed by jealousy, will obviously try to kill me, so I have to give up.

What a shame.

“By the way, is Arte resting today?”

“I put her to sleep. She seemed very tired.”

“Of course. After drinking so much yesterday.”

“True.”

He’s so considerate in this aspect.

It’s a bit disappointing that Arte is missing out, but…

It seems Siwoo has roughly figured out the location of the search target.

It should be fine to just do some light scouting of the surroundings today.

The main force is also planning to stand nearby.

“Make sure to spend time with Arte. Got it?”

“I said I got it.”

*Author POV

“Ugh, my head is spinning.”

When was the last time I felt this dizzy?

The first day the Reader opened her eyes here.

I think it’s the first time since then.

The last time she drank, she seemed to hold back a bit, but today she drank mindlessly.

It was a bit difficult due to my pounding heart.

“Still, there’s not much left. Just a little more to go.”

Seeing the Protagonist’s heart flutter like this, I just wanted to push a little more.

A tiny bit more, and it’ll be certain.

The pure girl thought with a bright smile.

“I think it’s about time to send it!”

The bracelet the Protagonist gave to the Reader as a gift.

Judging by the mana contained in it, it seems to be an item from a monster.

If it’s a mana beast that spews thread, there’s nothing else besides spiders, right?

So I thought…

What if it’s a spider that laid a lot of eggs before dying?

“The revenge of the grown spiders!… Something like that.”

The bracelet serves as a nice marker too.

The spiders instinctively realizing it’s their parent’s mana, seeking revenge on the humans.

Wouldn’t that be a sufficiently plausible and good attack?

The Protagonist conveniently left, putting the Reader to sleep.

Realizing he has disappeared, the Reader will hurry to the battlefield.

If I adjust the timing well, an interesting scene might unfold.

The girl smiled brightly.

Thinking that it will really work out well this time.
