I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

Chapter 80

80 – Belgrove Night (1)

“The village chief didn’t seem to know about monsters. The back mountain we went to is said to have been closed for a while.”

“Closed? mountains?”

“In the past, village festivals were held in the place where the pond used to be. As the village population gradually decreased, the festival changed to being held in the village.”

“Then what cave was there? If there were at least that many goblins, one or two would have been found at the time.”

After those who left to carry out their respective requests arrived, we were having dinner at a tavern.

It was the only shop in the village, so it was crowded with villagers, but we were able to sit in a corner seat thanks to the consideration of the village head.

Hans picked up a piece of meat growing in the middle of the table and asked Reina.

She had just reported the completion of an assignment to the village chief.

Reina shook her head and answered Hans’ question.

“Nope. Even though I explained the location in detail, I did not know about the existence of the cave.”

“Whoops… The village chief doesn’t know the geography of the surroundings… .”

“Does that make sense?”

“When I asked, he said he hadn’t been here in a while. There were no separate deliveries from the former village chief.”

“Isn’t usually the head of the village a person who has lived in the village for a long time?”

Sitting in the representative seat of a village is usually taken by a person who knows about the village one after another.

This is because it is easier to manage the village.

It is not uncommon for a foreigner to serve as the village chief, but in a remote village like Belgrove, such a case was rare.

In a rural area where there is not much floating population, if a foreigner suddenly takes over as the village chief, wouldn’t the villagers rebel?

“They must have their own circumstances. We just have to do our homework here.”

“That’s right. Anyway, the threat of the monsters has been eliminated and the requests are being handled with ease.”

“Come to think of it, did you accept the request for tomorrow?”

“Here you are.”

What Reina held out was the same letter as before.

There were several lines written in what seemed to be the handwriting of the village chief.

“Patrol around the village… There is only this written on it.”

“that’s right. Tomorrow in general I am asked to take a tour around town. It seems that he was quite surprised that a group of goblins lived right next to him.”

“I will be surprised too. Because no one noticed the goblins until they called out like that.”

“Whoops… Besides, there doesn’t seem to be any other means of defense.”

“There are no common vigilantes, how peaceful these guys are.”

“Rather than being stuffy, it must have been something you never needed.”

Anyway, tomorrow’s task seemed relatively simpler than today’s.

Although there’s no guarantee that the surroundings of town will be quiet when you see the goblin gun.

“Then you just have to walk around tomorrow.”

“Ugh… I think my legs are already hurting.”

“You won’t have to turn so tight. I’m just checking around town.”

“Then if anything comes out, it’ll be tight.”

“Do you really have to hit the candle like that?”

Reina quietly shut her mouth.

When I see Reina with her eyebrows furrowed, I can’t say anything.

“Anyway, let’s rest for today. I will finish eating.”

“The accommodation probably isn’t there.”

“I’m just going to get some fresh air. Just to digest it.”

“Well, then me too… .”

“I’m going alone, so don’t come.”

I tried to get a general idea of the geography of the surroundings before going on patrol tomorrow.

I stopped Elaine, who stood up as expected as soon as I stood up, and then I left the tavern and walked down the street.

Belgrove, already bathed in white moonlight, had a calm night view unlike the capital city filled with colorful lights.

It was a rural sensibility that I felt after a long time without people shouting whales and unnecessary lights all at once.

As I was gazing blankly at the night sky, I heard footsteps behind me.

Apparently Elaine was following him.

“Elaine, I told you not to follow me—”

I couldn’t bear to speak.

It was none other than Raina who followed me.

Her light purple hair shined even brighter with the moonlight, showing off her presence.

As I stared at her blankly, Reina looked away from me and looked around.

“… why.”

Then, the words he spat out loudly.

It was the same dry tone as the usual Reina who is called the Ice Princess, but I noticed that her voice was shaking strangely.

Do you have anything to say?

For now, let’s talk about it differently than usual.

“Did you come out to get some fresh air too?”

“… that’s right.”

“Right.”

“… .”

For a while, we looked at the sky with a sea of stars in silence.

Since it was located at the back of the tavern, there were sounds coming from inside the store, but thanks to this, the uncomfortable feeling of silence was eliminated.

I tried to look around the town briefly, but what is this?

‘Should I just ignore it? It looks like there’s something to be said for that… .’

Looking at the profile of Reina staring blankly at the stars, I hesitated to leave it again.

Even if you look like that, you are quite beautiful.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to see this sight again.

“There are a lot of stars.”

So I talked about anything.

I had never held hands with a woman in my previous life, and I almost lacked social skills, but I couldn’t do this here either.

Even though I became a fiancée.

“… That’s a lot.”

fortunately accepted

The sound of bugs coming from the bushes and the chattering of people inside the store.

We were looking up at the night sky against them.

It was the first time I was alone with a woman in this situation, so by the time I was simulating dozens of times in my head about what to say,

It was Raina who spoke up again.

“Miss Elaine seemed to follow you well, which is amazing.”

“Are you curious?

Reina’s words were somewhat unexpected.

At the sudden remark, I looked at Reina who was next to me without realizing it.

Raina, who was looking up at the sky, turned her head and looked at me.

Her face was as frozen as ever, and I couldn’t read her expression, but I knew at least that she wasn’t joking.

Is it because of the mood that Raina’s expression looks sad because it’s nighttime?

“You, who didn’t want to be around anyone, allow yourself to be around like this and hang out with people.”

Even without saying anything, Reina answered what I was about to say.

Now that I see it, it seems that I am not talking to them, but rather complaining.

As I stared at Reina, she took her gaze away from me and looked up at the sky again.

“What the hell happened? Until I come to you.”

“… What’s going on?”

“It has changed just as people have changed. You weren’t like this before.”

The blue eyes shining brightly in the moonlight began to stare at me again.

Reina’s eyes, bright and blue as if another sea were unfolding, were enough to mesmerize me.

After not being able to say anything about her appearance, Reina’s next words were mixed with a voice of resignation, as if she took it as a negative meaning.

The voice was so low that I almost couldn’t hear it.

“… Or did you do that because the other person was me?”

It was distinctly different from Reina, who is called the Ice Princess.

A hero, Reina Eisteen, who perseveres in her will and never yields to any circumstances, could have looked so sad.

It’s different from the cold and cold-hearted Reina’s real appearance that I had in my head…

‘Or if this is the original shape.’

Obviously, the old Altein would have acted inhumanely towards Reina and others around him.

As a result, the engagement with Raina was naturally broken, and he became the main villain.

If it was Reina, who had been living with Altyn from the past, it was only natural that I would feel a considerable sense of separation between the past Altyn and the present Altane because I took up this body.

It’s strange that a madman suddenly calms down and doesn’t feel that way.

So what I say is always the same.

“That… I don’t know what you think, but one thing’s for sure: the old me and now are different. Both physically and mentally.”

“… ?”

“It doesn’t mean that you treat me that way just because it’s you. no matter what happened.”

I don’t know what the past of Altane and Reina was like.

Because I was just playing the story of the game.

But now I entered the game world, and the game character has now become a real character.

All of Altane’s actions are also mine.

“I am not making excuses for what happened in the past. It’s not like making excuses for that.”

“That’s Okay. It’s over now… And we are no longer in a relationship.”

“… right.”
