Chapter 27
“...Ah, indeed. I understand why the rookie died.”
The chameleon villain sighed as if giving up.
“Kill me. I lost.”
“...”
What’s this?
Why don’t you kill him already?
Siwoo pointed his sword at the villain’s neck, not beheading him.
“Aren’t you going to kill me?”
“Uh...”
[Ah, that’s it.]
The Author let out a small exclamation as if enlightened.
I also realized why the protagonist was acting that way.
Sigh.
Siwoo was hesitating to kill someone.
“What? Are you hesitating to kill someone? Did you really kill the rookie?”
“I won’t kill you.”
“...Why?”
“Because I need to hear information about that Übermensch you talked about.”
It was an excuse.
The Author, Siwoo, Amelia, and even the chameleon villain himself realized it.@@@@
“I’ve been trained to endure torture. It’s a waste of time.”
“No, there must be a way to get the information without killing you.”
“...”
The villain’s mouth closed as if refusing to say anything more.
Hmm, what to do.
It’s not trendy for the protagonist to be so averse to killing these days.
A kill is only natural at this time.
Ah, right.
That would be better.
“Wha...What?!”
“... Don’t try anything! You can’t move in that state! Surrender!”
I manipulated part of the wire I had laid down to bind the chameleon villain and forcibly stand his body up.
It was a wire so thin it was practically invisible.
Siwoo would have noticed it normally, but this was far from it.
His mind was probably preoccupied with other thoughts.
As expected, he didn’t notice the wire descending silently from the ceiling.
Hmm, he’s still inexperienced. He’ll need to notice things like that eventually.
He should be able to dodge attacks even while sleeping. Hmm.
“Kh...?!”
The chameleon villain seemed flustered, understandably so.
Of course, he’d be flustered if his body moved without him controlling it.
No matter how much he tried to move his body, the tightly bound wires wouldn’t let him.
He must have thought a ghost possessed him or something.
“St-Stop! You can’t win like this...!”
Siwoo was taken aback when the villain suddenly switched to recklessly attacking without regard for his safety.
Right, he probably thought the villain couldn’t move at all, so this must be startling.
Their body couldn’t actually move alone.
Judging by his side turning red, his internal organs must have ruptured or something.
It must hurt a lot...probably.
Not that I would know how that felt.
Kang! Kang!
“Ugh...!”
The battle resumed.
The difference from before was that it was no longer a surprise attack but an outright struggle.
However, Siwoo couldn’t easily subdue the villain.
Even when opportunities to attack opened up, he didn’t take them.
He could have easily won by striking.
...He still won’t strike? Even now?
The villain’s throat, heart, and bleeding side were open for attack, but Siwoo still hesitated.
Does he think one hit would be fatal?
Well, it probably would be.
“You’ll really die at this rate!”
It was no use speaking to him.
If he told Siwoo that he was being controlled, it would be a big problem, so I sealed his mouth.
His aversion to killing should have lessened now.
The first time is always the hardest.
Once you cross that line, it gets easier.
“What’s going on here? Such a commotion...?! Are you all alright?!”
Ah, the instructor finally came.
With such noise, it would be weird if the instructors didn’t come.
Good timing, at least.
I smiled wryly as the instructor hurriedly tried to control the situation.
[That was fun...! A perfect scene!]
The Author seemed delighted too.
A great success.
***
“...”
Siwoo clenched his fist.
...He still felt the sensation.
The feeling of piercing flesh.
The odd feeling of easily cutting through, only to hit an obstruction–probably bone.
A chill ran down his spine.
He had only intended to silence him.
If, by some tiny chance, the villain told her he didn’t actually search her underwear,
Then, he would no longer be able to push the blame onto him.
That’s why he wanted to restrain him quickly.
“...It was a success.”
Yes.
It was a success.
He can no longer refute the claim.
Because he’s dead.
But Siwoo felt conflicted.
He certainly deserved to die after invading the academy and being part of the same traitorous organization as Lyla.
The villain didn’t expect to survive after being defeated.
That’s probably why he goaded Siwoo to kill him too.
However, there was still a possibility he could have lived.
In the end, I’m the one who took his life.
“Phew...”
Siwoo lay on the bed, blankly staring at the ceiling.
Thankfully, the gloomy thoughts didn’t last long.
Whenever those thoughts crept in, the next scene flashed through his mind.
“No, don’t think about it...”
He shook his head repeatedly, but it had no effect.
The more he tried not to think about it, the more it occupied his mind.
The soft sensation of her gently pressing against him came flooding back.
“...Ugh!”
Thump!
He banged his head against the wall, hoping to erase the memory.
...But it had little effect. Being superhuman, it barely even hurt.
A wave of self-loathing washed over him.
To dwell on the feeling of a woman’s chest after killing someone.
Wasn’t that downright depraved behavior?
Yet whenever the sensation of blood on my hands returned, that whispering voice gently settled in his ear.
“It wasn’t my fault...”
What’s her goal?
At first, he thought she wanted to kill him, but that was a misunderstanding.
Why was she observing him like this?
Did she just want to watch for observation’s sake?
She knew of the monster attack and the Secret Room.
‘But what did that have to do with watching me?’
He couldn’t make sense of it at all.
“I don’t know!”
Siwoo decided not to think too hard about the difficult things.
There was no way to know for sure right now anyway.
Dwelling on it would just plunge him back into self-loathing.
“...I can’t sleep.”
But as always, plans never go as intended.
Siwoo couldn’t sleep, the sensation of her hand on the back of his head and her dizzying scent lingering in his mind.
