I Am The Villainess With A Maxed-Out Luck Stat - Chapter 132
Only Noblemtl
132. The face of a fairy, but the body of a woodcutter
A being without desire is as good as dead.
It was fun watching Roselia.
A new-born desire gave him breath.
As my love grew, my greed also grew.
Intoxicated with small pleasures, he was straddling the line between what he could and could not do as a manager.
Even though he knew that it was the path that would harm him.
* * *
Roselia was taken aback by the manager’s face, which was more determined than ever when he said that she was the most important.
“… … .”
I didn’t know this would be taken so seriously.
Roselia stared at the manager’s face for a moment, then quickly looked away.
‘Miss, I’m doubly embarrassed when you say it with that face.’
It would have been easier to talk if you were the administrator’s avatar.
It was hard to make eye contact for long while wearing Cayenne’s mask.
“Why are you avoiding my gaze?”
“just.”
The manager narrowed his eyes.
“I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but you seem weak to this face. Is being handsome enough? Is that all there is to it?”
The manager pushed his face in, looking aggrieved. His bright red eyes sparkled.
Although her innocent features and sparkling eyes were somewhat out of place, that did not mean her beauty had faded.
As the handsome man, still showing off his sorrowful beauty, approached her, Roselia took a step back.
“No, well, not the face, but.”
‘When you talk with that face, it seems like he’s just handsome.’
She tried to swallow the words that were about to burst out of her mouth.
“Not all of them, but what? It’s not all of them, but it’s more than 99%, right?”
“… … .”
Honestly, yes.
“You thought so just now?”
“How did you know?”
“I can see it all in your expression. This is just too much.”
Roselia protested as the manager slumped his shoulders.
“No, you attacked my face first.”
I was just quietly listening to him because he had been saying the right things since a while ago, but his interrogation showed no sign of ending.
“Face attack? Face attack? I just stared at you. What kind of face attack is that? To be honest, I like Cayenne more than I do.”
“… … .”
I couldn’t say no even if my mouth was torn.
Because it’s not common in this world to find a handsome man as pitiful as Cayenne.
“Look at this, I can’t deny it!”
“sorry.”
“I’ve always said that I’m particularly concerned about Cayenne. I wondered why she was so nice to me, and it turns out it was because of this.”
“That’s not it.”
Although she reflexively denied it, Roselia was not completely innocent.
It wasn’t just because of his looks that he had been so kind to Cayenne up until now, but of all the people I’d met in this world, his looks suited my tastes the most.
‘… … So did I worry more for nothing?’
I felt like I had discovered a hidden taste that I wasn’t even aware of.
“under.”
The manager sighed deeply.
If I were a god, or even an administrator, I wouldn’t have experienced such waves of emotion.
As the vessel containing the soul changed, emotions also fluctuated without rest.
We’ve known for a long time that people are weak to superficial charm.
As an administrator in charge of this world, I have also emphasized the importance of appearance.
It was definitely like that, but why do I feel unpleasant all of a sudden?
He pouts.
“What good is it if you treat her well? If you always help her, praise her, and dote on her so she doesn’t get hurt? In the end, she’ll just fall for another man.”
“What, are you jealous now?”
“Do you think I’m just jealous? I’m really upset right now.”
I was sad.
This time, I was the one who helped Roselia.
While Seraphine was fighting the monster, the manager was giving her a battle buff from behind.
[Even if Seraphine is born with great talent, it would be unbalanced for her to fight monsters alone.]
In the original, not only the male protagonist, but also knights, guards, and magicians were mobilized to defeat the monster.
Even skilled knights were defeated after a fierce fight, but Seraphine, who only held a training sword, could not easily defeat the monster.
[I guess I should take care of your hands.]
Since the original event was in progress, I couldn’t abuse the system window, but I thought that Roselia would notice something strange.
I thought she would immediately think of me when she saw things going so well, but she seemed completely oblivious.
I didn’t do it because I wanted people to know, but it really hurt that the person I wanted the most recognition for didn’t know.
“Ugh.”
Roselia was embarrassed when the manager buried his face in his palm.
“Is it really that sad?”
“… … .”
“No. Of course, Cayenne is innocent yet manly, with a face like a fairy but a body like a lumberjack. That’s true!”
“… … .”
“Is it a misunderstanding that I fell for Cayenne just by looking at his face? What do you think of him as, you idiot?”
“Are you confessing to being an idiot just now?”
He was suddenly pouty and said something he normally wouldn’t have said.
“… … Is it okay if I just look innocent?”
“huh?”
“The face is that of a fairy, the body is that of a lumberjack, is that all you have to do to make it like that?”
I know it’s childish.
I also know that my role is to watch silently and help only when needed.
But as I looked at it, I wanted to meet it, and as I met it, I wanted to touch it.
Once I touched it, I wanted it in my heart.
Greed grew like a balloon, reaching an uncontrollable size.
“Okay, just pretend you didn’t hear that.”
When Roselia couldn’t find the words to respond, the manager put her down.
“Instead, keep the promise you made before.”
“A promise?”
* * *
“When you say promise, you mean a date?”
What on earth made you make such a fuss?
The manager grabbed my hand and urged me to go on a date.
“A promise is a promise.”
“That’s true, but I didn’t know it would be today.”
【Unknown: You absolutely, absolutely have to go on a date with me next time?】
I thought you were keeping that joke in mind.
‘Still, thanks to that, I feel a little better.’
Whenever you were nagging at me, I felt better as soon as I left the house.
He looked around like a country mouse who had just come to Seoul.
“This is my first time walking like this. It’s so amazing how my field of vision is fixed according to my height.”
“… … .”
“Wow, this is gravity. With every step I take, it feels like the whole world is pressing down on me, like I’m just a tiny thing, and it’s amazing. I’ve never done this before, I’ve lost my life.”
He was excited about the human experience and spoke loudly.
I understand that it feels surprising and strange to leave the holographic avatar and have a real body, but… … .
I looked around reflexively.
‘Fortunately, there’s no one around.’
If there had been anyone passing by, they would have looked at us strangely.
“Roselia, look at this. My arms and legs move together?”
What was so funny, the manager burst into laughter.
“Don’t show off your innocence and just walk quietly.”
“yes yes.”
But the manager was still running around.
“Oh, there’s a general shopping area over there! Roselia, let’s go over there!”
“It’s the middle of the night?”
“Whatever, let’s go quickly!”
The manager grabbed my hand and pulled me in, shouting, “Hurry up, hurry up.”
* * *
“Look, I told you I wasn’t opening anywhere at this hour.”
As expected, all the stores were closed after business hours.
He still couldn’t let go of his obsession and looked around the alleys to see if there was at least one store open, but every single one of them had its lights turned off.
“Hey, that’s strange. Why isn’t there a door?”
The manager scratched the back of his head.
“It’s strange, it’s natural for it to be closed at this hour.”
“Many places in Korea are open 24 hours.”
“That’s what’s strange about our country.”
Even in a hypothetical Western Middle Ages, work-life balance must be maintained.
The manager sighed in sorrow.
“I wanted to eat street food, go shopping, take a walk, and people watch!”
“Among the things you mentioned, I guess we can go for a walk. Let’s go for a quick walk and then go inside.”
“No, no. At least eat, watch a movie, go to a cafe. That’s a date. Just walking side by side is not a date. It’s not fun. It’s not fun.”
Just a moment ago, I was happy just breathing, so what… … .
“Oh no. I’m addicted to dopamine, so I can’t stand being bored without content.”
He stopped me as he muttered to himself.
“wait for a sec!”
“Why again.”
“If there is no content, just create it.”
“how?”
Instead of answering, he smiled confidently.

“?”
At the same time, a noise was heard from the alley across the street.
“Hey, the atmosphere there is nice.”
Whee-woo, a man with a chubby face appeared, whistling.
A shaky gait, a long horizontal scar on his face, even a gruff way of speaking.
He was a really bad guy, just like the picture.
“Oh, what do I do? It’s really out! It’s a real third-rate villain!”
“This is crazy… … .”
This crazy manager. Summoning thugs for no content?
