The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

What do you not want to do with me?

“What…?”

“I asked if you were not satisfied with tormenting me.”

Serena answered in a heavy voice.

Fortunately, I don’t think I asked in the way I thought.

…… Rather, why am I mistaken? It’s not even like that in the first place.

Anyway, Serena’s expression was changing every minute, so she hurriedly opened her mouth.

“The reason I brought Sharenne was not to harass you.”

“Then could you explain why you brought me here?”

It was blue eyes that shone infinitely seriously, but why did it feel so frightening?

I had a hunch that if I made a mistake, something big would happen.

“That was to make sure you were fully healed.”

She wasn’t lying because her purpose of bringing Charennen here was to look after Serena.

“You mean you kidnapped Sharenne for me…?”

Serena murmured while laughing.

Soon, her face, which had been hardened, began to loosen up, and she drew a warm smile on her lips.

“I’m grateful, but I didn’t have to. She felt sorry for Shar-en.”

Serena turned her head away from my gaze and spoke quietly.

The reddened ear lobe was exposed because of that. A glimpse of her cheeks, dyed red through her hair, brushed her eyes.

I don’t know why I’m shy. Still, it was a time when I thought it was fortunate that the misunderstanding seemed to have been resolved.

“But that’s strange. Why doesn’t her hand work?”

Putting down the teacup, Serena tilted her head and muttered.

…… Come to think of it, she put a sedative in her tea.

“Oran.”

“Ugh… Why?”

She tried to take her word calmly, but she accidentally bit her tongue.

I didn’t want Serena to look embarrassed in her eyes.

“Why is that? You’re trembling like someone who’s done something wrong to me.”

Anyway, it seemed that she had already read something strange in my behavior.

Calm down, in a way I didn’t do anything wrong to Serena, did I?

All I had to do was give Serena her medicine because Charen ordered her.

So, all she had to do was act naturally as she would treat Serena.

“You fed me something.”

“Me?”

“Isn’t it?”

The playful blue eyes stared at me gently.

As if to catch the slightest commotion, she looked at me without blinking, so I didn’t back down and met her eyes.

“Puh… Your reaction is honest.”

She turned her head away in surprise at the fact that they were so close that their lips touched each other.

“As expected, you gave me… Feel!”

Maybe it was because she tilted her upper body towards me so badly. Serena, who was talking softly in her laughing voice, couldn’t keep her balance and fell towards me.

“It’s dangerous.”

“Thank you.”

Fortunately, Serena settled into my arms.

Since I was sitting right in front of it, I almost got seriously hurt.

She wants to make fun of me, so she doesn’t even know she’s in danger. I have to scold her for this.

“……Too close.”

“Oh, sorry.”

How should she punish her? She hesitated and forgot that she was hugging Serena.

She hurriedly released her arms that were wrapped around her, but it was too late.

“….”

“…….”

After a moment of silence, Serena cleared her throat and opened her mouth first.

“Hmmm, did you think I would attack you without even listening to you?”

Did you think she would attack me without asking why?

I didn’t trust Serena.

I have more to apologize for.

“I’m sorry.”

“No, even from your point of view, since the number of prisoners has increased to two, it is natural that it is difficult to manage.”

Serena shook her head and said in a weak voice.

“It’s my fault, so you can bully me until you’re satisfied. Instead, I hope you don’t lay a hand on my comrades.”

Serena’s appearance is pitiful as she speaks with the chains on her limbs clattering.

I really am no different than a villain.

“You know, handcuffs and shackles are inconvenient, aren’t they?”

“It’s not particularly uncomfortable.”

She didn’t ask to be freed, but I took her key out of her drawer and freed all the prisoners who were confining her.

“…Why?”

Serena looked at me with curious eyes, as if she hadn’t expected me to do something like this.

“You can’t even move anyway.”

“…But I’m your hostage?”

“I released it because I wanted to release it. Do you have any complaints?”

Only then did Serena’s lips close. It would be more accurate to say that her lips were closed with a pout.

I don’t know why, but Serena didn’t seem to like my favor.

Perhaps it’s because I’m not used to freedom, I knew it because I experienced it.

“I have a question for you.”

Fixed an issue with Serena. Thinking that it was now her turn to send Charenne back, she stood up and Serena asked in an urgent tone.

“Why?”

“That’s…”

Despite being allowed to speak, Serena pursed her lips for a moment and moaned with her head bowed.

Then, Serena raised her head with a flushed face.

“Doesn’t it make you want to attack a hostage who can’t resist…?”

“Never listen.”

As soon as I heard it, I denied it. The saintess was supposed to be listening behind that door, but she said something that would cause trouble.

Of course, even if that’s not the case, I’m only sorry.

Personal feelings… It may be a little different, but whatever.

“……You can touch me and kiss me as much as you want.”

“You must be having a hard time? I’m resting. I’ll go somewhere for a while and then come back.”

Did the saintess play a trick on her medicine? Serena’s condition was strange.

For now, I got up from her seat thinking that I should let Serena rest and meet her saintess.

“Oran.”

“Why are you doing this again?”

Serena tugged at my collar with both hands before I could take her foot off her feet.

I don’t know if it’s because of the effect of her sedative, but Serena’s grip on me didn’t contain any strength.

She could easily shake it off and go on her way, if she wanted to.

“Are you going to leave me who can’t do anything because of the medicine you gave me?”

Serena looked up at me with her sorrowful eyes and pulled her hand.

That’s against the rules. I couldn’t possibly ignore it.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

“Does that mean you’ll do anything for me?”

“Isn’t it…?”

As I agreed, Serena’s eyes widened.

For a moment, I wonder if I may have made a mistake.

Serena opened and closed her lips over and over again until she lowered her head and uttered a small whisper.

“……I want to get wet.”

“Do you want to take a bath?”

“That’s… literally.”

Serena pursed her lips and looked like she had something more to say, but she didn’t add an afterword.

Anyway, I want to take a bath. She didn’t know that she would make such a request now that she couldn’t even move her body.

Serena can use basic magic to keep her body clean, so she doesn’t even need to wash?

“…Isn’t it okay?”

But she’s what Serena wants, and she doesn’t have to dig into her reasons.

“Okay, but I can’t even help you with washing.”

“Is it okay if I ask Sharenne for help? I won’t talk impurely, so don’t worry.”

“Do as you please.”

She took the lead, telling Serena to follow, and she tugged at my collar again.

“That, that’s… it’s hard to stand up.”

Serena pointed at her own legs with her reddened face.

I thought she couldn’t use her strength, but she couldn’t even stand up. What on earth did Charien give me?

“Shall I pick you up?”

“That’s right, thank you.”

The saintess gave her back to Serena, reminding herself that she was a crazy b*tch.

After several seconds passed and she didn’t come closer, I looked behind her and Serena opened her hesitant lips.

“Could you please listen to me?”

“In the future?”

“That’s… Isn’t it dangerous to give back to a hostage?”

How can a hostage who can’t even walk properly feel threatened by his life?

It seemed like an excuse, but there was nothing that couldn’t be fooled.

She placed her left hand on Serena’s knee and her right hand on Serena’s back, then lifted her up.

The posture of hugging the princess. The scent of her fragrant flowers crossed her nose as she drew closer to her.

It was a smell that made me feel good just by sniffing it.

“Isn’t it heavy?”

Serena’s thigh flesh felt on her hand. It was soft like glutinous rice cake, but not heavy.

Seeing Serena’s wing bones in her hands supporting her back made me feel that she lacked flesh.

“It’s light.”

“That’s good, then.”

As soon as Serena confirmed that fact, she jerked her head to her side.

She seemed uneasy about seeing her face, even though she asked to be heard in this way.

“I’ll bring Charenne back soon, so wait.”

After dropping Serena off in her bathroom, she said she was going to get Sharenne, and she headed outside.

“The honey is running out.”

“…Did you hear everything?”

I didn’t even have to find Charen, she was waiting for me at her door.

“I’m bored. Where can I go to see something like this?”

“There’s something to see.”

“No, anyone’s teeth will gnaw at the sight of Oran-nim, who is so filthy and absent-minded?”

What am I not aware of? Serena says her weird words a few times, but it’s crazy that she repeats them right away.

“Rather than that, if you’ve been listening, you know what I’m asking you?”

“Well, I’ll help you with that.”

Did I think too badly of her? Charenne accepted her request more obediently than she thought.

“But the more I think about it, the more angry I get?”

Her footsteps, which wanted to quietly enter her bathroom like this, stopped abruptly.

“Is it that hard to make a fait accompli?”

“…A fait accompli?”

One hand of Sharenne turned around was emitting a bright light.

A powerful divine power, if it touches the body, it doesn’t seem to end with a simple sting.

“Please pass out for a moment, I will help you.”

The bright light from her grasp cast a shadow over her face.

I don’t know if it’s because of that, but the atmosphere in Charen is unusual.

I quickly backed away due to her unsure of the reason, but already after Charen’s hand grabbed my shoulder.

Awesome!

With the pain shaking my head, I passed out.
