The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange - Chapter 93



93. Still Unchanging (3)

After many twists and turns, we arrived at the villa.

Since Cain and Leah spent the night somewhere else without prior notice, the villa’s servants were worried that something had happened the night before. When Cain explained, “Because of the heavy snow that fell last night, it was not possible to come here,” everyone seemed to agree.

After explaining the situation to her in a few words, Cain went into a soundproof room under the pretext of getting some rest and had Leah sit on the bed.

Then, he told Leah that he would make her some coffee and went out to the kitchen for a moment.

The ostensible reason was coffee, but the truth was that he wanted to give her some time alone to calm down and collect her thoughts, as she was still confused.

“… … Hmm.”

Knock knock, knock knock.

Cain grinded the coffee beans finely with a hand drip machine and let out a sigh.

“I never thought it would happen… … . I never thought you’d really be Korean.”

‘Somehow the way he spoke seemed strangely modern… … .’

I just thought she was a tomboy and outgoing, so she spoke more casually than other girls, but it turns out there was a reason behind it all.

The world is so small, how can such a coincidence happen?

“… … .”

No, maybe it’s not a coincidence.

Cain had a new thought and brewed two cups of coffee using coffee beans ground with a hand drip machine.

“Let’s clean it up first… … .”

After a quick tidy-up, I returned straight to the bedroom and handed Leah a cup of coffee.

“Please eat.”

“Huh? Oh, uh. Thank you… … .”

Leah accepted it with a bewildered expression and drank the steaming coffee without hesitation.

“Eh, huh huh… … !”

Then I felt hot and flinched, stuck my tongue out like a cat, and almost spilled the coffee on the bed.

“… …Are you okay?”

Fortunately, Cain caught him and a disaster was prevented.

“Oh, yeah, sorry… … . I guess I’m a little out of it right now.”

“… … Yes, I understand.”

Well, of course that would be the case.

Even though Cain himself didn’t show it on the outside, he couldn’t believe that Leah was Korean like him.

If it weren’t for the Master’s advice that a man should always be as heavy as a mountain in front of a woman, I probably wouldn’t have been able to hide my surprise and would have screamed along with Leah. And after I came to my senses, I would have been embarrassed by my appearance and not been able to say anything properly.

Cain, with a bitter smile as if he understood, carefully sat down next to Leah.

Leah’s heart, which had been glancing at her man who seemed so calm, gradually calmed down.

“… … .”

Leah clasped her hands together obediently, then peeked out her lips to taste the coffee.

“Phew… … .”

Click-.

“… … Then, I will continue with the questions I was asking earlier.”

Leah put the half-empty coffee cup down on the dresser, sighed deeply, and looked straight at Cain.

“When did Cain start to realize that he was Korean… …?”

“Well, I’m not sure about the exact date, but… … .”

“… … Don’t be vague and vague, answer properly.”

Leah seemed anxious and gently grabbed Cain’s sleeve.

Her blue eyes were slightly wet, and Cain thought he knew why Leah was acting like this.

‘I guess it seems like the person changed in the middle.’

Cain put down his coffee cup and met Leah’s eyes while holding her hand.

“It was about 10 years ago when I realized I was Korean.”

“10 years ago… …?”

“Yes, 10 years ago. That is, before I became Leah’s bodyguard… … I was sparring with my brother and got hit in the head with a wooden sword because I twisted my wrist. At that moment, my head lit up as if by lightning, and I realized that I was a modern person living in Korea.”

As soon as Cain’s slightly embarrassing past story from his immature days ended, Leah felt a sense of relief right away.

‘… … Ah, thank goodness.’

In fact, she didn’t tell Cain, but Leah was using a magic called ‘Truth Detector’ that could determine whether Cain’s words were true or not.

And the result was [100% true]. There was not a single lie in Cain’s words.

Leah was grateful and happy that the man she loved and still loves told her the truth without a single lie.

“… … .”

On the one hand, I felt guilty for not trusting my man and using magic.

If I truly loved him, I should have trusted him completely without resorting to magic like this. Why use magic like a truth detector just to have absurd suspicions?

Even if it was only for a moment, Leah was so embarrassed by the very suspicion she had harbored that she couldn’t raise her head even though she was happy.

“… … Leah?”

“I’m sorry, Cain.”

“Huh? What is… … .”

“I was actually using magic.”

“Magic… …?”

“Yeah, it’s a magic called Truth Finder… … .”

The ‘Truth Detector’ is a magic that only Leah, who is hundreds of times more sensitive to the flow of mana than others, can use.

Cain felt a chill down the back of his neck as he realized that Leah was using a truth detector that detected the subtle vibrations of mana that the other person emitted whenever they lied, and could then determine whether what they said was true or not.

Of course, it wasn’t the usual reasons like he was disappointed in Leah for not believing in him or something like that.

If only I had told a story about the past with a lie mixed in because I was embarrassed, I would have gotten a chill in my heart at the thought that the results of the truth detector would have been different and Leah would not have believed me.

‘… … I almost got into trouble.’

I told Leah the truth because I didn’t want to lie to her for no reason, and it turned out to be a very good thing.

“Oh, is that so… … ?”

The moment Cain let out a sigh of relief, Leah made a sad expression and collapsed into Cain’s arms.

“… … Sorry, am I such a bad girl? I can’t even believe you when you ask first, and I just keep suspecting things for no reason.”

Leah’s voice trembled faintly, soaked in guilt.

Cain was momentarily flustered, but soon smiled bitterly and hugged Leah, patting her on the back.

“No, it’s okay. Thanks to that magic, Leah can trust me completely.”

“… … Ugh, no. I should have just trusted Cain, I’m sorry I couldn’t. … … I’m really sorry.”

“… … .”

Cain, who believes that groundless suspicions only cause each other trouble, but blindly trusting each other is not the right kind of love, thought that Leah was worthy of it.

It’s not that it isn’t. If the situation were reversed right now and Cain himself could use the truth detector, wouldn’t he have used it on Leah?

IF assumptions don’t make any sense, but he probably would have used them if he wanted to trust Leah 100%.

Isn’t it because you love the other person so much that you doubt, check, and trust them?

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… … .”

‘… … It’s really okay.’

So, Cain hoped that Leah would stop regretting her choice. Contrary to his wishes, Leah almost cried and buried her face in Cain’s arms.

I was thinking that if I left it like this, I would really cry on this nice day, so I was wondering if there was a good way to do it… … Then, an idea suddenly came to mind.

“Leah, you mean that truth detector? Can you use it on yourself?”

“… … Yes, you can use it. Just change the output of the result to mana-sensitive and connect the wavelengths together.”

“Then, should we switch paths this time?”

“Uh, change it… … ?”

“Yes, if I use the truth detector on Leah and receive the results… … . Wouldn’t it be like we each made a mistake to each other, and we could completely trust each other?”

Cain gently stroked Leah’s back and whispered soothingly.

Leah seemed to think for a moment, buried her face in Cain’s arms, exhaled slowly, and then slowly raised her head.

“Okay, okay. … … Then.”

Leah closed her eyes and kissed Cain.

side.

The moment their lips met, a tingling, chilling sensation ran down Cain’s spine.

It was a familiar feeling, as if I had felt it for the first time in my life, or at least once in the past.

‘……what?’

It was so long ago that Cain couldn’t remember, but this feeling was exactly the same as when Cain and Leah shared the ring of Venus three years ago.

A mana technique where the mana wavelengths of each person become tightly connected, causing them to become mentally entangled.

Leah said it as if it was nothing special, but this was a highly advanced mana technique that only a being of goddess level could dare to imitate.

“… … Okay, okay. You can ask me anything now.”

Leah whispered quietly, her cheeks slightly red, as if embarrassed or shy.

Perhaps because his mind was entangled, Cain looked down at Leah, who seemed to be looking more loving than usual. He quickly coughed and asked.

“Yes. So… … Leah, how did you find out that you were Korean?”

“Uh… …? Oh, that’s it.”

Stop.

It was only a fleeting moment, but Cain read the change in Leah’s expression.

“Cain, you shouldn’t laugh when you hear this… … ?”

“Yes, I’m not laughing.”

“Yeah, that’s… … . When I was really young, I had a fever once. It was so bad that I thought I was going to die, but then one day, the fever suddenly disappeared as if it had been washed away, and I realized that I was Korean.”

This expression is the expression of a lie.

[50% true.]

“… … Leah.”

chin-.

Cain grabbed Leah’s shoulder.

“The truth detector says only 50% is true.”

“… … .”

There was no excuse for the truth detector being wrong… because the reliability of this magic was 100%.

Leah, who was well aware of that fact, changed her words.

“When I was young, I ate something bad and got a fever… … Then one day, the fever suddenly went away and I realized that I was Korean.”

[70% true.]

“This time, 70%.”

“When I… … was little, I ate strawberries by mistake. So-.”

[90% true.]

“We’re almost there now, 90%.”

Cain muttered leisurely and nodded his head as he waited for Leah to speak.

“… … Ugh.”

Leah shut her eyes tightly, realizing that she could no longer hide it now that the truth detector had been placed on her.

And then he said.

“… … When I was five years old, I went outside without telling my family and climbed the mountain behind the house. I picked some wild berries and ate them on the side of the mountain, and the next day I got a fever. I was so sick that I thought I was going to die, and after suffering for three days, I suddenly got better as if I had been washed away… … When I came to my senses, I suddenly remembered that I was Korean.”

After finishing her shameful confession, Leah waited for Cain’s judgment with her face flushed with shame.

“… … .”

[100% true.]

‘… … I was born with a tomboyish disposition.’

Cain looked down at Leah without saying a word.

“… … Foot.”

Stop, I couldn’t hold back my laughter and started laughing without realizing it.

“Hey, don’t laugh! I told you in advance… …!”

From noble mtl dot com

Leah bit her tongue out of embarrassment and patted Cain’s chest, her neck turning bright red.

“Phew! Heh… … . Heh, heh, hah!”

“… … Hey! You bad, bad guy aaah!”
