The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy

After leaving the infirmary, I walked with a heavy heart.

Ah.

I am such a foolish human.

Why can't I admit it?

My true feelings.

But I can't.

Because it's something I shouldn't acknowledge.

What I did was the right choice.

It must have been.

But why does my heart feel so uneasy?

My head knows that what I did was right, but my heart denies it.

Is it okay to be greedy?

Is this just avarice?

I thought and thought about it.

But as always, the answer didn't come, making me even more miserable.

"Haha."

I laughed.

Laughing was the best.

I laughed out loud as if I had truly become the worst and strongest villain in the world.

"Oh my God."

"Did he go crazy after getting rejected from his public confession?"

Break time.

On the way to the classroom.

Sytan's students whispered amongst themselves as they watched my strange behavior.

Yes.

Laugh.

Laugh all you want.

How could you, mere creations, understand the pain of your creator?

I ignored the students' reactions and kept walking, laughing.

Then, my steps came to a sudden halt, and the smile on my face disappeared in an instant.

“…….”

It was because a black-haired woman was looking at me.

Rene.

She was the one who had stopped me in my tracks.

Uh.

Um.

For a moment, the events that had transpired in the auditorium flashed through my mind like a panorama before settling down.

I didn't know what to say.

Both Rene and I remained like that for a while.

It felt like a corner of my heart was burning.

Uh.

Um.

Uh.

Um.

I repeated the words in my head, trying to figure out what to say.

That wasn't a public confession just now.

As if I would do such a thing.

I could just nonchalantly say that and be done with it.

But the image of Luna that flashed through my mind stopped me from doing so.

Therefore.

Swoosh-.

I bowed and turned to leave.

No, I tried to leave.

If Rene hadn't grabbed my wrist.

“……Adel.”

Ah.

I can't help but react if she does this.

I let out a sigh of embarrassment and turned around.

Rene was looking up at me with a look on her face as if she was about to cry.

I asked her.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Flinch.

I was surprised by how firm and cold my voice sounded.

I didn't mean to, but why did I react like this?

I don't even know my own heart.

Rene's face hardened.

It was clear that she was hurt, and I almost reached out to comfort her.

But that was something I couldn't do.

"I just, saw… … .”

Rene mumbled, her voice trailing off.

Then she lowered her head.

Seeing her like that made my heart ache.

I barely managed to suppress the urge to stroke her hair.

Because I knew that was the best for her.

"Is that all you wanted to say?"

“……Yes.”

"Then, if you'll excuse me, I have to get going. I have an appointment."

My voice was as cold as ice.

In reality, I didn't have any appointments today.

What kind of appointment could I possibly have right after the break ended?

But I still lied to Rene.

It couldn't be helped.

Yes, it couldn't be helped.

I kept telling myself that.

Right now, I couldn't face Rene.

Swoosh-.

Just as I was about to walk past Rene, who was still standing there,

"Oh my, Mr. Escort."

“…….”

I stopped in my tracks.

It was because of the owner of that voice.

I turned around and saw a white-haired woman approaching from behind Rene.

White eyes and white hair.

A woman whose skin was so pale that the word "pale" couldn't even begin to describe it.

Diana was approaching me and calling out to me.

I flinched, my body trembling.

Diana.

It couldn't be helped, knowing her purpose.

And she was one of the few people in Sytan who knew my true identity.

And she was also the woman who never failed to make me uncomfortable.

"How may I be of service?"

I quickly composed myself, hiding my agitation, and spoke naturally.

"Hmm? Well? Why do you think I'm here, Mr. Escort?"

“…….”

See?

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Diana's unique way of speaking was difficult to deal with, even for someone as old as me.

'Even I find it hard to respond to her, that's how difficult she is to deal with.'

The woman who always put me in awkward situations was Diana.

It couldn't be helped.

She was probably the one who harbored the most resentment towards me.

The Arsene family.

And the Demon King.

They were two beings that could not coexist.

'Adel's father, huh?'

The one called a traitor.

Adel's father killed the Demon King.

Of course, he died as well, but it was only natural for Diana to harbor animosity towards Adel.

That's why she would approach me and act friendly while subtly revealing her murderous intent.
