How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel - How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel chapter 97

97 – Final Episode

– This is breaking news.

– There is news that additional documents were discovered at a home in Shenyangga, which is being searched and seized in relationship to the [Shenyang Group Human Synthesis] Incident that occurred a week ago. Let us connect with reporter Kim Young-geun at the scene. Reporter Kim Young-geun?

-Yes. This is Younggeun Kim.

– A shocking document was discovered in former Chairman Seo Il-hwan’s study? What is it?

-Yes. Early this morning, a [Work order] Containing Chairman Seo Il-hwan’s handwritten signature was discovered in former Chairman Seo Il-hwan’s study and office. The instructions included all the circumstances in which former Chairman Seo gave various illegal and inhumane instructions, including a story related to the non-uniform crack explosion that appeared in the sky above Orbis Academy in the past.

– So, does this mean that there is a connection between Shenyang Group and the ‘Orbis Gate Incident’ that occurred several years ago?

-Yes. You’re right. According to the work instructions of former Chairman Seo Il-hwan obtained this time, various circumstances were specifically described in connection with the ‘Orbis Gate Incident’ to conceal the intentional attempt to create a mana crack by the late Seo Hayun, the eldest daughter of Shenyang Group.

– What was the specific attempt?

– Various evidence and testimony were manipulated to place suspicion on a specific cadet. In fact, the cadet was investigated by the Inspection Department due to the incident at the time, but was released due to insufficient evidence after a long investigation lasting about six months.

– So-called false accusations?

-Yes. Because of this, the cadet is known to have had a difficult life, including disadvantages such as repeating grades and being ostracized within the academy.

– I think Shenyang will have to pay quite a lot of compensation for the damage?

-Yes. However, what is unique about this incident is that the cadet played an important role in breaking down the ‘Shenyang human body synthesis’ incident.

– I guess he was one of the three cadets known to have been sent from Orbis Academy?

-Yes. It is presumed that the cadets in question are Ryu Seo-ah from the Hero Association, Cadet Han Chae-yoon from the Black Cat Corps, and an anonymous cadet with an unknown affiliation.

-Wouldn’t it be possible to interview that cadet?

– However, the cadet suffered severe physical and mental damage and is unconscious, and only time will tell the prognosis…

Beep!

The best hospital in Korea. VIP hospital room on the top floor.

Ryu Seo-ah used her remote control to turn off the TV.

Then she started peeling her apples as if nothing had happened.

Crunchy.

Bumpy.

As a girl who had never held a sword in her hand, her cutting skills were extremely immature.

◆

It’s a pure white ceiling.

How many more times will I have to wake up to this pure white ceiling after being possessed?

I grumbled even though I was dizzy.

What. When a pure white ceiling is visible, the pattern is always the same. Blink your eyes a few times. I smell the hospital medicine entering my nose. When you wake up from your bed in a non-sleeping room and enjoy the loneliness of being left alone, a nurse or a doctor will come to you. Let’s think about it.

“Ha.”

A small sigh came out.

I am alive.

I somehow managed to get through to the last villain in this damn novel. I was embarrassed to see a ridiculous monster pop out, but…

“As expected, it was Ryu Seo-ah. They say heroines are different.”

I chuckled while saying those words to myself.

If it weren’t for her activities, I would never see such a pure white ceiling again.

Of course, Ryu Seo-ah will still hate me.

Even if all the stories were over, the actions I had done so far would have seemed like a villain in itself to Ryu Seo-ah. She is a hero in name and reality.

“That’s a bit of a shame. She liked it a lot.”

The feeling of being loathed by a character I liked. It’s not good… But it’s still not bad. It’s not something like, ‘It’s actually better.’

In any case, she saved her life from her fate, and that alone is enough.

“Going further from here would be greedy.”

Let’s conclude that much.

Now that we’ve defeated the novel’s main villain, let’s live leisurely. That alone is enough.

“What is greed?”

It was at that moment that Ryu Seo-ah’s voice was heard.

Um.

Is it an auditory hallucination?

I turned my head towards her voice.

What is in sight is a rabbit-shaped apple.

“Are you awake?”

— Square, square.

The expert skillfully cuts the apples into rabbit shapes.

It’s a pretty rabbit-shaped apple.

I raised my gaze to her hand.

Normal sized breasts.

Bright red hair.

Blue eyes.

Ryu Seo-ah.

“Why on earth are you here…”

Before I even say anything.

“Eat.”

“Sleep…”

A rabbit apple being forced into the mouth.

While I was chewing on it, Ryu Seo-ah continued her explanation

“You have been hospitalized in this hospital for quite some time. Fortunately, your physical condition is normal. It just took a long time for you to regain consciousness. The doctors guessed that you were completely mentally exhausted from having all your body strength taken away. That is the diagnosis. .”

“Mumbling.”

“Well… I’m healthy, but.”

“?”

After hesitating for a moment, Ryu Seo-ah continued her words.

“I can’t use your abilities anymore. Your circle was unique in the first place, no doctors could even guess what it was, and they couldn’t save you.”

Ryu Seo-ah’s shoulders trembled.

Her expression, which had been gloomy for a moment, returned to expressionless.

What is it?

Are you worried about me?

Of course, I knew my condition from the moment I woke up. My body is fine. But there is no malice anywhere. No matter how you try to arouse malice, there is nothing you can do.

It’s as if such a thing never existed in the first place.

Of course. That’s not despair.

“Aren’t you despairing?”

“It’s rather good.”

“Why?”

From noble mtl dot nete

Now that the worst villain has been dealt with.

The remaining small children can be handled by Ryu Seo, Han Chae-yoon, and the other children.

So to speak, yes. I would say it feels like a proper retirement.

If there is no malicious intent, there is no reason to be a villain anymore.

I feel refreshed inside.

Of course, this cannot be explained in words, so I summarized it briefly.

“I feel like I don’t have to work anymore. I’m going to be unemployed. This hospital seems like a good place to live. Should I just keep pretending to be sick?”

Ryu Seo-ah looks at me as if I’m pathetic.

I laughed because it was her original appearance

After hesitating for a moment, Ryu Seo-ah opened her mouth.

“Lee Han.”

“Huh?”

Ryu Seo-ah’s lips her her her touch her a few times

What on earth are you taking so long to ask?

Now that she thinks about it, she feels something is strange about Liu Seo-ah being here. Why is Ryu Seo-ah sitting next to my bed alone? Nursing…?

It can’t be like that.

I looked at the cute rabbit-shaped apple placed on one side of the plate. In the first place, Ryu Seo is not the type of person to cut off her apple in such a cute way. She’s the type to chew the whole thing down.

A little chill went down her spine.

“You… You’re not Ryu Seo-ah.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

Jerit.

Ryu Seo-ah’s intense gaze.

It was only then that I felt relieved when I felt as if her whole body was going numb.

“Ryu Seo-ah, that’s right.”

“…Do you want to die?”

She clenched her fists and let out a sigh.

As if it had finally been resolved in her mind, Ryu Seo-ah continued.

Click.

She put down her food and apple and opened her mouth.

“Lee Han.”

“Hmm?”

“The question I am asking from now on. I am asking this sincerely, so I hope you will answer honestly.”

Since I have lost her ability, I have no choice but to carefully follow Ryu Seo-ah’s words her her her.

“… I understand.”

She thought about my answer for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“I have so many questions for you. But tell me one thing.”

“What is it?”

What question should I ask?

I swallowed my saliva out of nervousness.

Since I’ve done so many villainous things, ‘Would you hold your breath and die?’ Isn’t it like this?

However, what came out of Ryu Seo-ah’s mouth was an unexpected question, or rather, a question she honestly expected but she did not expect.

“The person who gave me the circle when I was young, was it you, Lee Han?”

“…”

“No,” She swallowed the answer that came out reflexively. She no longer has any reason to look like the villain she is. Furthermore. The fact that Ryu Seo-ah appears like that means that she has already noticed to some extent.

‘You probably noticed it when you rented the circle.’

You can never carelessly run other people’s circles. She must have been suspicious of Ryu Seo since I started her circle. She was so in a hurry that she didn’t even consider it.

You shouldn’t lie.

“That’s right.”

“Why did you hide it?”

“I wasn’t trying to hide it. You never asked. “I just didn’t answer.”

A lame excuse.

Ryu Seo-ah’s brow furrowed.

Anyone can see that he looks angry.

Ryu Seo-ah came towards me with the intention of hitting me.

Dangerous. Now, I’m not even a first-class villain. You can’t even use malice.

The moment I was about to retreat to the edge of the bed.

“Sleep… !”

Something wrapped around me warmly.

The scent of Ryu Seo-ah fills the tip of her nose.

It had a calm, sweet apple scent.

“Fool… Fool… Fool…”

You can’t see her expression, but she was clearly crying.

“I hated, hated, hated you so much. Why didn’t you tell me? If you had told me, I wouldn’t have thought the worst of you. Why on earth did you try to take it all on like a fool?”

“…”

I have nothing to say.

I just patted Ryu Seo-ah on the shoulder.

Her crying became a little more intense.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for misunderstanding. I’m sorry for being a fool and doubting the person who saved me.”

“No. I did that on purpose. I should actually apologize.”

I gently pulled her away for a moment.

Ryu Seo-ah looking up at me with her tear-filled eyes.

She apologized to her.

“I’m sorry for lying to you all this time. I couldn’t help it.”

“I wish I had given you a hint… You idiot Lee Han.”

“Sorry.”

“Ugh. No. I will apologize. I will continue to apologize forever. So you, Lee.”

Sreuk.

Ryu Seo-ah’s face approaches.

When I came to my senses, our lips overlapped before I knew it.

Her heart is conveyed through the full scent of apples.

When her breathing became a little hot, Liu Seo-ah removed her mouth and lowered her head.

Her ears and cheeks are very red.

“Stay by my side. Until I apologize sufficiently. Continue.”

Incongruously, Ryu Seo-ah muttered.

I have to answer something.

I couldn’t take my mouth off her.

“…Why aren’t you answering?”

I pointed behind Ryu Seo-ah, who was looking up at me.

Her head her turns back, and her background is seen a little more clearly.

Han Chae-yoon, Yoon Hyun-jin, Sun A-yeon, and Seo Ha-eun standing with their arms crossed at the entrance to the hospital room.

Precious colleagues.

The women, with their faces dyed red, are all shouting.

“Mr. Lee Han, were you cheating on me because you couldn’t help it?”

“Best, animal. You said you liked me too.”

“In the name of the saint, we must take care of Mr. Lee Han.”

“For me, being a concubine is enough.”

I burst into laughter without realizing it.

“”Why are you laughing!””

I smiled broadly at the girls who were shouting at the same time.

“I’m glad everyone looks healthy.”

I think there is a lot to talk about.

Now that all the stories are over, the nights given to us are infinitely more numerous and longer.

So.

Now I have to say what needs to be said.

“Thank you everyone”
