I’m a Villainess but So Popular

Episode 101

Eugene’s eyes shook at Rayl’s words.

From Rayl’s point of view, it looked as if the frozen lake was breaking apart in an instant.

Eugene, who opened his mouth to say something, closed his mouth again and bit his lips with his teeth.

“No, I’ve known it since the ball for the Foundation Day of the Academy, but I didn’t know that you had such a deep feeling.”

Eugene didn’t deny or affirm what Rayl said.

He just smacked his lips silently, with his blue eyes facing the floor.

But Rayl didn’t miss it.

Eugene’s cheeks are red.

“……how did you know?”

It took a long time for that tightly closed mouth to open.

When a low voice finally came out of his mouth, Rayl gave a succinct answer.

“Just. You know when you see it—”

Rayl replied with a slight smile.

“You care a lot about Yerine.”

At the words, Eugene strode forward to Rayl.

“Hey, Rayl Diamond.”

“Yes.”

When he looked up his blue eyes, Eugene spoke low in a threatening voice.

“You, don’t tell anyone about this.”

Some part of him wanted to tell Eugene that some people already knew Eugene had a crush on Yerine, but Rayl tried to bury it in his heart.

This is because Eugene was looking at him as if he’s going to throw his body into the battleground and blowing up the strongest attack magic if he opened his mouth.

“I won’t tell you. I couldn’t be your friend if I can’t keep this as a secret.”

“If you tell anyone about this, friends or heirs, whatever you are, I’m going to attack you right away.”

Rayl shuddered at Eugene’s threat.

“Okay, okay, I won’t tell. You know I have a heavy mouth.”

Eugene looked at Rayl with very suspicious eyes as if he disagreed, but Rayl laughed it off.

“By the way, is it that obvious? That I like her that much?”

When asked by Eugene, he unconsciously said, “Yeah. I almost said ‘too obvious’ but he managed to come to his senses and come up with another answer.

“No, not really.”

It took exactly three seconds for the question to be answered.

So Eugene squinted his eyes and looked at Rayl with a very suspicious face, so Rayl hurriedly added.

“Really. Everyone else wouldn’t know except me.”

“Are you sure Spades doesn’t know?”

“Yeah.”

Rayl nodded his head passionately.

“I’m sure she doesn’t think badly of you. But the fact that you like her–”

At that moment, the door of the classroom burst open, and familiar purple hair caught Rayl’s sight.

“Oh, it’s finally over!”

As soon as the door opened, Eugene, whose eyes became as big as a flower cup, desperately stretched out his arms and blocked Rayl’s mouth.

Eugene, who was too strong to stop Rayl from speaking, couldn’t control his power, so the two of them fell on the floor of the classroom.

Brukk.

“What?”

It was only after a flick in front of his eyes that Rayl could come to his senses.

When he opened his eyes, he looked at the ceiling, and soon Astra with a perplexed face came into his sight.

“Rayl! Are you okay?”

“Rayl! What, what the hell did you guys do?”

Listening to the other’s surprised voices, Rayl stood up holding Astra’s hand.

‘Oh, my head…….’

Maybe because of the impact, his head still felt numb, but Rayl smiled after seeing Rachel and Yerine, who couldn’t close their mouth in surprise

“No, nothing.”

But no one seemed to believe it, and Cassius, who was looking at Rayl, asked.

“Really, what the hell were you doing this time? That Eugene finally tried to kill you?”

Astra replied to Cassius’ words.

“Yeah, what the hell did you do this time? No matter how much, until now, Eugene has never really tried to kill you, no, not really, but he’s never done it this openly.”

“No, really, I didn’t do anything.”

The other kids did not believe him even when he protested with his hands waving.

“No, Eugene originally wasn’t a good-natured person, but he doesn’t hit people without a justification.”

Rachel spoke with her fingers close to her mouth with a serious face.

“By any chance, is it because all the pranks that have been playing all this time have been piled up then explode?”

Eugene opened his mouth when even Yerine said such a thing.

“He didn’t do anything.”

He was touching his forehead with his hands, frowning as if his head was ringing.

“I just lost my balance. Nothing. I accidentally pushed Diamond when I fell.”

He glanced at Rayl with his sapphire eyes.

Rayl was the only one who knew the real meaning of the look.

Realizing the meaning, Rayl gulped.

‘If I said the truth, he’s definitely going to kill me.’

“Right, Diamond?”

Eugene looked at Rayl as if he was trying to nail him down, and he nodded.

“Oh, I see.”

Yerine nodded slightly and said with a face that she understood.

“You see, I didn’t do anything. Why doesn’t anyone trust me when I’m talking?”

“Well, you know the reason why.”

Everyone began to laugh at Rachel’s teasing remarks.

“Oh, don’t laugh!”

“Okay, but why don’t you both go to the infirmary? The sound of you falling was amazing.”

Yerine pointed her finger at the door of the classroom and said,

“No, it’s nothing.”

Eugene shook his head, but Yerine did not budge.

“Hey, but go and see. There’s an infirmary to go at this time. If you apply ointment, it will heal faster”

“Okay, okay, I’m going.”

Eugene was also vulnerable to Yerine.

Eventually, Eugene, who accepted her words, swung around and walked to his seat.

“Let’s stop by before dinner, too, Rayl.”

Rayl waved at Astra’s words.

“I can go alone.”

“No, it’s okay. Just go with me. It’s on my way, too.”

After being persuaded by Astra and Rachel, Rayl was forced to agree.

“By the way, what did you talk about earlier?”

Rachel asked with her head tilted.

“Huh?”

“Weren’t you two talking? I heard your voice when I opened the door.”

After hearing Rachel’s question, Rayl felt the back of his head stung for some reason.

It was obvious that Eugene was looking at him with a fierce look, pretending not to be.

“Oh, we were just talking about what you did in S-class since you guys came so late.”

“Oh, I see.”

Fortunately, no one doubted this remark.

“Let’s get back to our seats. Professor Frain will be here soon.”

Rachel and Astra finished the conversation in a hurry, pushing each other on the back, and turning their eyes slightly, glancing at Yerine’s reaction.

Other people didn’t see it, but she could.

Yerine’s ears are as red as a beet.

‘She heard it.’

Rachel returned to her seat and thought to herself.

***

“What can I do…….”

She leaned her head against the bench and murmured, looking up at the black sky.

The sky was studded with small stars in the sky, which seemed to be covered with navy paint.

‘I happened to hear that.’

I accidentally made the battle class site today, so I returned to the classroom later than usual. But I changed my clothes faster than Rachel and Cassius, who are in the same S-class.

I went back to the classroom first. When I arrived at the classroom, a familiar voice was flowing out of the crack in the open door.

As soon as I opened the door and tried to go inside, Rayl’s voice stuck strongly in my ear.

“Do you like Yerine that much?”

I knew instinctively that I shouldn’t open the door now.

I hid in the shade and stood at an angle, looking into the classroom through the window on the door.

Looking closely, Rayl was fiddling with something with his hand in his pocket.

‘What, don’t tell me?’

Soon, Eugene’s calm voice was heard.

“……..how did you know?”

He was affirming. The fact that he likes me.

‘I had a hunch, but…….’

At that time, the love potion didn’t work for Eugene as well.

I couldn’t have not known that he was interested in me at all since he had asked me to be his partner at the ball.

‘Still, love potion doesn’t work. I didn’t know that he liked me that much.’

She blew the wind out of her nose and muttered to herself.

“I can’t believe that even Eugene loves me with all his heart. The original male lead, Cassius, is not enough, now even Eugene.’

I just got to know the depth of their minds today.

I was really thankful, but at the same time, I felt sorry.

I don’t think I’ve known how they feel until now.

But I wasn’t confident in returning the answer to the two.

‘I don’t know what’s what.’

I felt really, really upset.

“Is this okay?”

At that moment, a fresh voice was heard from behind.

“What?”

I believed there was no such thing as a ghost, and I knew well that there would be no such thing as the most hated maiden ghost in the world in Western Rofan novels.

But it was already dark around, and I was alone.

“Hey, hey, Yerine, it’s me. Will you calm down and turn off the blue flame?

“Ah.”

I felt a great deal of embarrassment coming in, turning off the blistering blue flame from my hand.

“Oh, Cassius.”

I thought it was a good thing that it was night.

He won’t see my embarrassed face to the point where I wanted to die.

“But why are you coming out from the back? There’s only a bush behind the bench.”

“I was just turning into a tiger for a while. Sometimes I want to run through the forest.”

Cassius’s gold eye shone under the feeble moonlight as if it had not been smeared at all.

‘Why did he turn into a tiger at a time like this?’

That’s what I thought and pointed to the seat next to me.

“Come and sit down.”

“Thank you.”

Cassius, as I said, came and sat next to me, and for a while, then silence fell.

“……you just used a blue flame.”

“Huh?”

“It’s not because I’m scared. It could be an attack, so I’m just trying to defend myself with the most powerful magic.”

Cassius looked at me and replied in a low voice to the belated excuse.

“Oh, I didn’t say anything, Yerine. Anyway, I see.”

Cassius seemed to sneak over, but it was all written on his face.

‘Tsk, it’s true that you thought I was scared.’

I hope Cassius will one day erase it from his memory.

If I, one of the Householders of the 7 Imperial Family and the top performer of the Academy, mistake the voice behind my back for a ghost and put on fire magic, I’m sure I’ll want to run out of the window.

‘I don’t want to imagine it.’

Then Cassius opened his mouth.

“By the way, Yerine, why are you out there? I didn’t expect to bump into you at this hour.”

“Just, I have something to think about.”

“Then, it’s great.”

Cassius smiled at my words.

At that moment, his face, which was fine after eating chocolate, passed through my memory.

“I had something to tell you anyway.”

“What do you mean?”

Cassius replied with a grin.

“Important things.”

Somehow, his smile was more ferocious than usual, with a fascinating atmosphere.

Suddenly, my heartbeat began to accelerate.

‘Wait a minute.’

There is no one around.

It’s just the two of us.

And it’s night.

In short, it is a very good environment to create a romantic situation.

The atmosphere of Cassius was also very unusual.

‘You’re not going to confess, are you?’

At that time when I was swallowing my inner scream, his golden eyes were full of me.
