Villian Days

Chapter 3

As for me, I was punished for my wrongdoings against the Hero. I lost my love, I lost my social status, and was flung into the depths of suicide.

“Wait a second!” Is my death route confirmed?

I’m thankful that I was cute when I was little, but apparently I looked weird in junior high. Was I bullied?

(…….)

I recall the cold looks I got at school, and I hug my trembling body.

It’s okay. There’s still time. After closing my eyes and pausing, the tremors reverberating through my body start to calm.

I’m still a third year in junior high. Once I enter high school I’ll stay completely away from Hiroto, removing myself from the novel’s events. Until then, I should gradually distance myself from that guy. I should stop attending the Student Council as well. I mean, I can use my memory loss as an excuse.

Not only that, but Hiroto’s part of the high school division. His school building is different from mine so it’d be normal if we don’t meet!!

“Dad said I’m fine the way I am! From now on I’ll just blend into the surroundings! It’s a survival strategy!”

As I pump my fist in relief, the door to my room opens. At the end of my line of flight burns a bright flame. It’s Houou Hiroto. His expression is calm and barely betrays cold sentiments. (T/N: I’m guessing here again.)

“Welcome back, Yuu. I heard you’ve been discharged from the hospital today. I’m glad you’re fine. Oh, but you still don’t remember much do you?” He takes my hand carefully and leads me to the sofa. Before I know it his body is in close contact with mine, hands trailing down and stopping by my waist.

“Huh? Uh? Where did you come from?”

“Sayo-san let me in. You might not have known but he told me about you.”

(His actions are so natural that I’m totally swept up by his pace. Yeah, he’s really attentive now. Let’s pull back a bit. Is this really how it’s going to be from now on?) I shift closer to the edge of the sofa while I carefully answer.

“Yeah. I’m sorry. I hardly remember anything. But the doctor said my body is fine, so I’ll go back to school starting tomorrow. Sayo-san brought me tea…huh?”

I asked for the tea Sayo-san brought so that I could get away from this guy, but when I try to get up from the sofa my efforts are in vain. When I glance up, Hiroto’s face is in line with mine, the ceiling straight ahead. This is the so called pushed-down state!

He whispers into my ear while I’m still confused. Soft lips press against my earlobe and I shudder.

“Sayo-san is already home. Today you should come over my place. My mom is also worried and waiting. You can go to school directly from my house tomorrow.”

(So that’s how it is. When my dad worked overtime, I used to stay over at the Houou household. I mean, it’s not that bad is it? Nah it’s bad alright. There’s something touching my legs. There’s definitely something there. What is it? I don’t remember where his left hand went. Where are you touching! Just how far are you going to take this?)

As I stare at him with tears in my eyes, he smiles and presses his lips on mine.

“You stir me up, Yuu. Yuu is really so cute.”

(It’d be bad if this goes on. It’s already bad! At this rate I’ll be killed by this perverted asshole! Oh, t-that’s right.)

“I…I’m scared. Why are you doing this?” And it’s a deadly strike!

I’m crying now. With my whole body trembling, I cling to Hiroto. I won’t forget to peek at him from below my lashes. How’s that? This perverted asshole.

“Why? You’re asking me why. Hmmm.” Hiroto gives off the appearance of pondering hard.

Alright! It’s time for my escape. While I twist my body quickly and try to shrug off his arms, I immediately realize my mistake.

“Ouch!”

And now I’m  pushed down on the sofa while he’s straddling me. As a result Hiroto’s hands are now lying on my chest. There’s a bit of pain and my shoulders are bare and exposed.

(So isn’t this worse than before?) I throw a glance over my shoulder while still struggling for my breath. And I regret doing this as soon as I do.

“Why? Yu belongs to me. This erotic body that responds to my caresses instantly, these eyes that shed tears at a moment’s glance…all of it is mine.”

He licks his lips and smiles a smile that oozes sex appeal. Dominates everything around him with well-found arrogance. This presence is exactly like that of a ruler of all demons, the Demon King.

(Demon…)

Suddenly, the title of the novel resurfaces.

“Story of the Four Gods Academy – Beloved by the Demon King.” Demon king… There really is such a meaning.

(I love you.) I slowly lose consciousness as I hear Hiroto’s whisper, and mutter back in a soft voice:

(Liar.) Eventually you will leave me. Throughout your life, you will like other people. In the end there will be no one who notices the tears that flow down my cheeks.
