“Sniff… sniff…”
I intended to do this from the start. When I told Millie, she burst into tears, you could even call it wailing.
It took a while for her to calm down, but seriously, is it really something to cry so much about…? It shouldn’t matter what someone you dislike thinks of you. But maybe Millie is the type who cares anyway, or maybe she doesn’t dislike me after all.
But this is really unexpected. I thought that if I scared and saddened her a little with a Villain Move, it would be more exciting when she was rescued, but if it goes this far, it really hurts my heart. Personally, I have a pretty good impression of her even from this short time together, and I already owe her a lot. It wasn’t supposed to be like this…
Should I stop the Villain Move for now and see how it goes…? But that would be too unnatural, wouldn’t it? Besides, she’s probably cried all her tears out already.
Or rather, if we’re talking about unnatural, this whole situation is unnatural. It’s like, how long are you going to sit there blankly? If the goal was to do something lewd, I should have made a move a long time ago. Now I can only pray that Millie doesn’t realize that, right? No, there’s a way to stall…!
“Kukukukuku… Have you finally calmed down?”
“…”
“Kukukuku, it seems like you have. Well then… no, there’s still plenty of time. I’ll take my time enjoying you… kukukukuku.”
“Tch…!”
Alright. I hinted at a background of slowly tormenting her over a period of about a week or so. With this, even if I brought her here and haven’t made a move in, say, about thirty minutes? It shouldn’t be unnatural at all.
In reality, they should be here in about ten or twenty minutes, anyway, so I should be able to end this as the villain.
“Kukukukuku… I wonder what Millie will be like by the time help arrives, kukukuku.”
Saying that, I get up from the bed while lightly threatening her. She seems scared when I’m close, so I’ll move away… I’ll just go back to the sofa.
“Hey, Geld-kun…”
“Hmm?”
“Geld-kun, you told me so many things… were they all lies…?”
“Kukukukuku, lies… lies? Did I ever tell a lie…? No, kukuku. I don’t remember.”
“I see…”
Millie must be exhausted from crying, because she’s asking about things from the past in a voice that makes me feel a sense of emptiness… Is she trying to confirm and sort things out in her mind? It’s like she’s cutting off her lingering feelings as a friend, a ritual for breaking up. I messed up, I should have said it was all lies.
“Then, Geld-kun…”
“What is it this time?”
“Geld-kun, you’re bad at magic… and I taught you… was that a lie too…? Did you get close to me to deceive me…?”
“Didn’t the teacher decide that…? Ah, kukukuku… no, I’m normally bad at magic…”
“I see, that’s right.”
I tried to deceive her, but I couldn’t, so I gave up. I wish she would ask me about something more that I did wrong. Is there anything?
“…”
“…”
Apparently, there wasn’t anything.
From there, we were silent for another hour or so. Now I’m just reading a book that I randomly picked out from the room while sitting on the sofa, but the protagonists haven’t shown up at all. Even though I stalled for a bit, I feel like it’s getting pretty tough. I’ve been here for a total of an hour and a half already, where are those perverted idiots dawdling?
…Could it be that they’re calling for backup? Are they taking time because they’re gathering people? If that’s the case, then easily suppressing them might have been a mistake. There’s a possibility that they’ll judge that they’ll just be defeated if they come with just the three of them…!
If backup comes… what will happen? Will they bring a teacher? If that’s the case, then there probably won’t be a problem. As far as I know, even if they gather all the teachers, I can easily defeat them. But if there’s some kind of incomprehensible existence like Gouketu-sensei from Royal Ukyak Academy, then I’m out in one shot. There’s no guarantee that he’s not here just because he’s over there.
Should I go take a look? No, it would be too tragic if we passed each other. I have no choice but to wait here.
The sound of pages turning echoes emptily. The contents of the book aren’t entering my head at all. I’m just pretending to read. The content is too difficult in the first place, and frankly, I’m not in the mood for it at all. Hurry, please hurry…!
“Geld-kun.”
“Tch!? W-what is it?”
I was startled by the sudden question. It’s bad for my heart…!
“Why did you do this?”
“Because that’s… kukukuku, do I have to say it for you to understand?”
“Yeah. I don’t understand.”
“Is that so? Kukuku… then shall I teach you clearly with that body soon?”
Crap. Has it been about two hours already? She’s going to realize that something’s wrong no matter what. The stalling might be reaching its limit, but I’ll try to resist as much as possible.
I walk to the side of the bed and look down at the restrained Millie. She still has a look of emptiness on her face, but there might be a little strength returning to her eyes. She’s not scared, not sad, and not angry. She’s just staring at me.
I might need to break her heart one more time. But I’ll be in trouble if she cries, so I’ll be as gentle as possible.
“Geld-kun, you wouldn’t do something like that, would you?”
“Hmm? Do you want to believe that? Too bad, from now on—”
“I thought it was strange.”
“…What is?”
“Guys are always staring at my chest… but only Geld-kun looked me in the eye when he talked to me.”
“Muu…”
Lately, it’s been getting warmer, so most students have stopped wearing robes. And when the size of Millie’s chest, which had been hidden by the loose robe, became clear, the boys’ gazes were fixed on it. My gaze was also fixed on it.
However, I was desperately trying to avert my eyes from her chest with a steely will, so as not to be seduced by the unconscious Succubus, and struggling to fix my gaze on her face. Or rather, maybe I was fascinated by her face.
But even though I tried so hard, who would have thought that it would backfire…!
“I intended to do this from the start. There’s no need to stare at something that you know you can have freely soon.”
“Tch…”
Even if you can have it freely, you still look at it, but Millie, being a woman, might not understand. While wishing that, I sit on the bed, put my hand next to Millie’s face, and look into her eyes.
As expected, Millie seems tense now that I’m this close. She’s mostly thinking that I won’t do anything, but she can’t hide her fear of the remaining 2% possibility.
Now, I’ve tried to threaten her by getting my face close to hers, but I immediately realized that this was a mistake. After all, if I move away again from here, it would be the same as declaring that I have no intention of doing anything. But if I get any closer, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop myself from going further. In other words, I have to keep this distance and keep stalling for time from now on.
I gently lift a strand of Millie’s hair with my palm. It’s beautiful hair the color of the sky, shiny, fluffy, and the kind of hair you’d want to touch forever. I stall for time as much as possible by slowly letting it fall from my hand and playing with it.
“…”
“…You’re not going to do anything after all.”
Ah, damn it. Is she more than 90% sure that I won’t do anything?
In that case… I’ll touch her skin, I’ll touch Millie’s skin…!
