I'm not in the villain's ending - 9

In fact, I knew it from the beginning. From the moment he told me his name.

I could tell by my special ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Snowy was a terrible liar.

“You know you’re lying, aren’t you?”

“…….”

“I’m scolded for ignoring you.”

Still, she closed her eyes not because she believed in him, but because she wanted to take advantage of him.

Well, Snowy must have kidnapped me to take advantage of me, isn’t it?

“I’m not going to ask you why you lied. You’ve got your own reasons.”

He spoke softly in the most gentle voice he could. However, Snowy’s face is more curled than before.

“The choice is free. Either they’re tied up, or I’ll put an eye patch on them.”

In other words, you are free to choose, but you can’t decide what you choose.

“You’ll regret it.”

“You’ll have to go through that.”

Ignoring Snowy’s distorted brows, he heard his breath come out loud.

“I assure you, my eyes are….”

“Well, what about your eyes?”

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes from earlier.

The words were very annoying, and he looked straight into his eyes, which were slightly exposed in the veil.

“Black and plain. It’s pretty again, you know.”

He saw the pupils of his dark and plain eyes dilate, but he quickly lifted his veil to cover it.

“Now, let’s take a break. You look very tired.”

With that, I quickly ran to bed. He felt a gaze behind his back, but he tried to ignore it and squeezed his eyes shut.

***

“You’re leaving sooner than I thought. Isn’t this a shame?”

Still mischievous, but with a hint of regret, Karina’s words sneaked a glance at Snowy.

[The portal has opened, you need to leave immediately.]

Dawn has not yet dawned. Three days after Snowy’s eye patch was lifted, he suddenly said the word.

He said that I had to leave as soon as dawn broke, but I accepted without saying a word.

From the time he escaped from the glass prison until now, there has never been anything that hasn’t been sudden. I cut off my flashbacks and faced Karina in front of me.

“That’s how it went.”

At the sound of her voice, Karina curled the corners of her mouth and smiled with interest.

“You can come here whenever you need a place to meet in secret. Even if you don’t have a room, you can get a guest out and give you a room.”

“If that’s the case, this will be the last time we’ll meet.”

As her shoulders heaved without much emotion, Karina responded with a smug smile that she didn’t lose.

Even when we suddenly left the room, Karina smiled. Then he took matters into his own hands.

That laid-back smile matched her resourceful temperament.

“I really like you.”

“Is that so?”

“Next time, I’d like to meet the innkeeper and not as a passenger, but personally. Let’s talk to the girls then.”

Karina held out her hand. The wind blew just in time, soaking up all the sun, and the primary colors swayed.

I thought it was a great match for Karina.

“If we can meet again.”

“I hope so.”

Just as Karina’s conversation and I were coming to an end, Ahri interrupted.

―The Human Girl. I really need to leave now!

He nodded to Ahri and waved to Karina.

“I’m going to have to go.”

“Wait a minute.”

Before she could leave, Karina grabbed her by the shoulder and whispered something in her ear.

The wind blew in my ears for a moment, and it wasn’t long before Karina fell from me.

“What’s that,”

“Sen.”

Snowy called him, so he couldn’t ask Karina again. Karina just smiles.

The tingling followed, but it didn’t keep Snowy waiting any longer.

“See you next time, Miss. No, Sen.”

“… Karina too. I’m doing well.”

Holding Snowy’s hand, he climbed into the carriage and the carriage door slammed shut without a sound.

Unlike the first day, the carriage pulled by a real coachman ran on the ground, not the sky. The carriage was the one Karina had called.

He stared at the rapidly changing scenery through the carriage window and asked himself a question.

“So. I heard that there is a station where you can take the portal, right? Like a train transfer station.”

“Yes.”

It was what Snowy had just explained, but I already knew this.

The portal is a tool that appeared countless times in the original. In particular, it was a method used by one of the male lords who were crazy about female liquor.

However, portals were mainly used only by nobles and members of the royal family. Ordinary people didn’t know much about it, and even if they did, they couldn’t ride it on their own.

He glanced at Snowy who was looking at the window.

“But how did Snowy know that?”

From the way he dressed, he looked like a commoner, but judging by the way he used magic tools, he didn’t seem to be a petty criminal. Or is Snowy just a puppet and there’s a person behind it?

He didn’t realize that he was staring at Snowy as he was lost in thought.

“Do you have anything to say?”

It wasn’t until Snowy’s words that he realized and jerked away.

It’s still too early to make any conclusions. He’s only spent two nights and three mornings with Snowy, so I can’t define him as anything.

“Nothing.”

If I get a chance, I’ll ask him in detail.

Snowy’s true identity and why he kidnapped me. And now until the ‘it’ I doubt.

As a result, he could only give vague answers, but Snowy didn’t seem to care.

―This is the Portal Station.

The carriage came to a halt with the sound of Ahri’s voice, which had been crouching quietly in the carriage all along.

When he got out of the carriage, the coachman turned his last glance to the carriage and go straight ahead.

In front of me was an unexpectedly humble door. He blinked and looked at Snowy, and Ahri replied instead.

―You can’t judge by the outside, human girl.

Ari’s meaningful words puzzled me, but I didn’t ask any questions.

After all, the door is in front of me, and if I open it, I’ll soon know what it means.

“Wow.”

Squeak. When he saw the interior exposed with the sound of an old door, he let out a short gasp.

Surprisingly, when I opened the shabby wooden door and entered, I was surprised.

“Nothing.”

The interior was more shabby than the exterior.

I looked at Snowy half-suspiciously, and Ahri was talking about it again.

―Remember this clearly. How this place changes! You will probably be amazed at what you see.

Just as he gets tired of Ahri’s tantrums and gets annoyed, Snowy suddenly steps forward.

Snowy strode over and tapped on one side of the wall, then picked out a brick and pulled it out.

“I’ve seen this scene a lot.”

For some reason, a huge man with a bushy beard and hair from a past life and a boy with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead.

Could it be that the wall will open? Even with that in mind, he watched with bated breath what Snowy was doing.

Tuduk.

Suddenly, the ceiling cracks, and debris falls.

“that.”

Soon, the vibrations of the ceiling began to resonate with the air in the space.

My mouth fell open in the space between the two walls.

―This is the portal.

Like a ruin I’d seen before, dark bricks surrounded it on all four sides, as if it had been around for a long time.

Standing on the low stairs in the middle, I saw a magic circle with a soft glow.

“Sen, hands.”

Without hesitation, Snowy stepped onto the altar and held out his hand. Before he knew it, Ahri was on his shoulder.

At that moment, I also tried to take Snowy’s hand without much ado.

Tuduk. The sound of stone shards falling echoed through the silent portal.

“Didn’t you hear anything?”

―What are you talking about? Didn’t hear it at all!

Ahri replied, and Snowy wondered if he hadn’t heard either.

I shook my head quickly.

“Did I hear you wrong?”

―Haha! Are you scared? There’s no such thing as a ghost here! Even if you’re scared, they won’t hold your hand, so keep your wits about you!

I could see Ahri’s tail fluttering like an aspen tree.

What would be the reaction if I grabbed that tail? I put my thoughts aside for a moment and set my gaze on the magic circle.

“How do I get on the portal?”

“We need to break the spell on the portal.”

Snowy turned around, not letting go of his hand as he placed me on the altar. Then he held out his ungrasped hand and struck in the air.

Thin. A trace amount of light rises with a breeze. For a moment, the refreshing scent reached the tip of my nose.

“!”

All of this disappeared like a switch was flipped. No light, no incense.

As if restrained by something.

“Snowy?”

“It looks like we’re not the only ones here.”

Snowy’s pass slides back to a stop in one place.

“Annoyingly.”

Ari, who had inflated her body and was three times the size of an adult man, ran up and slammed her torso against the wall. Behind the wall that couldn’t bear Ari’s load and collapsed.

“Don’t miss it!”

To my surprise, the knights of the armed Count poured out.

‘Have you been hiding behind a wall all along?’

Behind the wall, there was a space large enough to accommodate thirty people.

However, in spite of his excellent hearing, he did not notice any signs of the knights. Not even a single breath of their breath.

As she opens her mouth stunned, Ahri’s voice pierces her ears.

―Be careful!

Ahri slammed into the knight as he jumped in. The knight slammed into Ahri’s body and bounced off the wall.

This has increased the distance between him and the knight, but that is only a stopgap measure.

“Sen.”

With an understated face that didn’t show any emotion, Snowy looked back at him.

“Grant me a little cheekiness.”

“Cheeky, whatever.”

After saying that, he paused for a moment. I vaguely remembered what I had said before.

[Don’t come near me without permission, don’t touch me suddenly, because I don’t like being cheeky.]

That’s the warning he had given Snowy before. It’s just that what does it have to do with this moment?

Dumbfounded, but urgent, I quickly agreed to his question.

“It doesn’t matter, so come on!”

Before he could finish speaking, Snowy wrapped his arms tightly around his waist. I inadvertently buried my face in his arms.

A refreshing fragrance that rushes into your nose in no time. It’s a strange thing to say in a tense situation, but you feel like you’re immersed in the scent.

As if to dispel such miscellaneous thoughts, Ahri’s anguished voice breaks the cycle of thought.

―You need to get on the portal right now. If you miss your chance now, until the portal opens again!

“I know.”

When three knights are hit by Ahri’s tail, the other five pounce. I can’t afford it.

Biting his lower lip, which reminded him of a trampled rose, Snowy seemed to be hesitating something.

“Sen.”

That’s when he called me. It’s very awkward, like someone who has made up his mind.

“It was my intention, but I’ve been deceiving you.”

Then he begins to utter incomprehensible words.
