The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 77



School Open House (2)

After the commotion in the research building, I took Arna outside.

To calm her down, we decided to sit on a bench for a while.

“Ugh…!”

Was she still unable to shake off the embarrassment? Arna covered her face with both hands, groaning.

“I shouldn’t have come to the research building…!”

She shook her feet violently, as if kicking a blanket.

“I told you before, didn’t I? To take it easy on the community.”

“Ughhhhh…!”

The hero revered by everyone, posting worries on a mere community board. What could be more ridiculous? Arna knew it too, and she twisted her body in discomfort.

Her ears had turned as red as a ripe tomato.

“So. What kind of worry post did you write?”

“Huh…?”

When I asked, Arna lowered her hands from her face. She looked at me with tearful eyes.

“That comment… wasn’t it you who wrote it…? Anonymous 803….”

“Anonymous 803? It wasn’t me.”

“Oh… then who…”

Arna must have thought it was me from the beginning. I almost became the bad guy for no reason.

Well, he’s still a bad guy anyway.

“Do you remember the kid we saw in the lab earlier?”

“Yes….”

“It was his doing. Jiwoo Yoo, a first-year in the technical department.”

“Oh….”

Arna nodded, indicating she understood.

Then, she confirmed the facts with me once more.

“So, you’re saying you have nothing to do with it?”

“That’s right.”

“And you don’t know what kind of post I wrote?”

“Well, I told you, I don’t.”

Phew─!

Arna let out a big sigh as if she had come back to life. The embarrassment and tantrum she had thrown earlier were completely gone.

The tears had also disappeared.

Is it really such a relief that I don’t know the content of the post?

“So, what kind of worry post did you write?” I asked.

“Th-that is…!”

Arna suddenly hunched her shoulders. She looked like she had been caught off guard.

“Y-you don’t need to know…!”

“Is that so? If you don’t tell me, I’ll ask Jiwoo Yoo directly.”

“N-no…!”

As I took out my smartphone, Arna grabbed my wrist. She had an incredible strength. Truly a monstrous woman.

“If you make the call, I’ll break both your wrist and your smartphone…! Just so you know…!”

Arna’s eyes were more menacing than ever. Her eyes were bloodshot. She looked ready to cross the line and take someone down.

“Alright. Let’s just say I don’t know anything about this matter.”

Well, Arna is still a woman after all. She must have a few worries she can’t tell others about.

I have no intention of prying further. Honestly.

“R-really…? You’re not going to ask about it later, are you…?”

“Do I look like someone who would do something so petty?”

“Yes. Very much.”

“….”

If you say it like that, I have nothing to say.

What kind of eyes do you usually look at me with? Do you almost treat me like a scammer?

Grrrr─

“Ah….”

It was then. Suddenly, the sound of an empty stomach echoed. It came from Arna’s stomach. It was such a tremendous sound that it made both of them shut their mouths.

“Have you not eaten yet?”

“No, somehow….”

“Then would you like to eat something?”

I pointed to the place where the food trucks were lined up in the distance. It was the food area prepared for this school opening event. It was currently in the middle of a trial run.

“Sss….”

The savory smell of oil spread all the way here. Arna swallowed her saliva. She seemed very hungry.

“Wait here for a moment. I’ll go buy something to eat.”

“Ah… thank you….”

I can’t let our protagonist starve like this. No matter how much of a villain I am, I should at least feed her before tormenting her. I got up from my seat and went to the place where the food trucks were.

─Oh, spoon!

While I was wondering which of the many food trucks to go to, a man called me from afar.

A man with very impressive black tattoos engraved on his neck. It was none other than Tattoo Guy.

“You also have a food truck.”

Tattoo Guy was in the middle of handling ingredients inside the truck. He was slicing green bell peppers and white mushrooms.

“It’s a big festival that comes once a year. You have to make money properly when you can.”

All the food trucks here are run by students. One of them is Tattoo Guy’s shop.

“Is it pizza?”

The menu was simple. It was pizza. Inside the truck, a portable oven was also nicely prepared.

“How is it? Doesn’t it suit me perfectly?”

Tattoo Guy showed his weapon, a poleaxe. It was a newly custom-made cooking poleaxe.

It seemed that he was planning to use that to bake the pizza. The idea itself was very good.

“But I don’t know how it will taste. Do you usually cook?”

“What’s so special about pizza? Just spread some sauce on the dough and throw in some ingredients.”

Tap tap. Tattoo Guy started to thinly spread the prepared dough.

“How about it? Since we’re here, should we order a pizza?”

“Hmm.”

Anyway, I have to buy Arna’s meal. Taking it to go from here wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I decided to order right away.

“A medium Hawaiian pizza. And make sure to load it up with pineapple toppings.”

“What?”

The tattooed guy tilted his head when he heard my order.

“Hawaiian pizza? With extra pineapple? Are you serious?”

“I’m always serious.”

When it comes to bothering Arna.

“Don’t come begging for a refund later.”

“Just bake the pizza already.”

“Man, I’ve seen all kinds of weirdos.”

The tattooed guy pulled out a stainless steel container from the corner. Inside were pre-cut pieces of pineapple.

It seemed like they had set them aside because they didn’t sell well.

“You said lots of pineapple, right? Brace yourself.”

The tattooed guy scooped up a ladle full of pineapple.

The more, the better.

“Ugh…!”

While Shin Yoon-seong went to buy food, Arna sat alone on the bench, cooling off the remaining heat.

Her cheeks were still burning. She didn’t know why she felt so embarrassed. If only she could erase today’s events from her memory.

“At least he’s not Anonymous 803…”

The only saving grace was that Shin Yoon-seong wasn’t the anonymous protagonist. If he had been Anonymous 803, Arna would have bitten her tongue and died on the spot.

That’s how embarrassing the post she wrote was.

“I should refrain from posting on the community from now on… Especially about relationship concerns… Huh…?”

Arna was startled by her own words and opened her eyes wide.

“What did I just say…?”

Did she say relationship concerns?

A relationship? What nonsense. She had never once considered Shin Yoon-seong as a romantic interest.

He was nothing more than a pest, like a bedbug.

“Th-that’s right…! It was just a slip of the tongue…! How could I see someone like that as a romantic interest…? Ah, ahaha…!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Kyahhhhh…!”

Suddenly, Shin Yunseong appeared behind her. Arna screamed loudly, causing the birds to scatter.

“W-what, what, what is it…! Why are you here so soon…!”

“The food came out faster than I thought.”

Shin Yunseong handed over a square-shaped box. The subtle aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air.

“This smell is….”

“It’s pizza. Eat it before the cheese gets cold.”

How did he know I liked pizza again? Arna took the box. The warmth of the cardboard box was transmitted directly to her hands.

“Yes…?”

But her joy was short-lived. As she looked at the contents of the box, Arna frowned.

It was definitely a pizza. Various vegetables and meats were placed on the round dough, topped with white cheese.

Anyone could see it was a pizza, but….

“What, what is this…?”

The problem was the unknown toppings embedded in the cheese.

Yellow cube-shaped toppings. They didn’t seem to be Emmental cheese. Judging by the sweet smell, this ingredient was….

“Pineapple.”

“…”

It was indeed pineapple. And a lot of it. It was piled on as if it had been poured.

It could be called pineapple bread rather than pizza.

To bring this as a meal.

“Ugh…! You always think of playing pranks on me…!”

“Pranks? I bought it thinking of you, Arna.”

“But this is too much…!”

If she took a bite, pineapple juice would burst out instead of tomato sauce. The sweet juice would mix with the salty cheese in her mouth.

This was almost a bizarre food. Her body would surely reject it the moment it entered her stomach.

“Then are you going to throw it away?”

“I didn’t say I would throw it away!”

It wasn’t completely inedible. After all, it was a dish with the official name of Hawaiian pizza. It’s a somewhat popular food.

And it was also one of the rare times Shin Yunseong spent his own money to buy food.

Of course, it’s absolutely not because of Shin Yunseong that I’m eating this pizza. It’s only because I don’t want to waste the money spent on it.

Gulp─!

Arna took a big bite of the pizza slice.

“Ugh…!”

From noble mtl dot com

Her face involuntarily crumpled. As expected, the taste was terrible.

It was as complicated as Arna’s feelings.

Salty, bitter, sour….

And very sweet.
