The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

Chapter 266: City Arrival



༺ City Arrival ༻

“Master? Master!”

“Umm…”

“Wake up…!”

I woke up to the sound of someone calling me and saw a familiar face.

“Lulu.”

“Hehe…”

Sitting on my lap and gazing down at me, Lulu smiled with her eyes and spoke.

“Where are… the paladin and Serena?”

“They’ve stepped down for a bit to check if anyone’s following us! We’ve arrived at our destination!”

Looking out the window, I saw a landscape as familiar as Lulu’s face.

Tall, towering buildings, nobles strutting along the streets, and people looking daunted, as always.

The Imperial City was still the same. 

“Lick, lick…”

I rested my chin on my hand and quietly observed this scene. Lulu closed her eyes and started to lick my cheek.

“Hmm…”

Why does Lulu always lick my cheek?

Was it a sign of obedience and loyalty as a pet? Or was it an unconscious outburst of her quite high need for affection?

Or could it be that my cheek was sweet?

If so, could her cheek be sweet as well? My cheeks couldn’t be the only ones that were sweet, right?

– Lick.

“…Eek!?”

With those thoughts, I licked Lulu’s cheek as she licked mine with her eyes closed, startling her. 

“……???”

Lulu looked at me with a dazed expression.

“Lick…”

– Lick, lick…

“Uh, ugh…”

As she looked at me cautiously and started to lick my cheek again, I licked her neck, and Lulu quickly pulled away from me, opening her mouth.

“M-master…! You shouldn’t do this…!”

“Why?”

“This act… it means submission to the master…!”

“Really?”

“Yes, yes! You shouldn’t submit to me!! It’s unthinkable and disrespectful even to imagine such a thing…”

I looked at her as she trailed off and started fiddling with her fingers. 

‘I want to tease her more…’

I wanted to see her yell. I wanted to see her get flustered. I wanted her to never forget, not even for a second, that she was mine.

This impulse was wildly taking over my mind. I wanted to control someone, to torment them to my heart’s content.

“Chomp…”

“……!!!”

Eventually, unable to resist this impulse, I went against Lulu’s earnest plea and lightly bit her neck.

– Chew, chew…

“Eek…!”

Then, I lay Lulu down in the carriage and nibbled on her bare skin.

“I told you I would punish you, Lulu.”

She trembled in fear. Looking down at her, I whispered coldly.

– Grab…!

“How dare you, a mere pet… audaciously loosen the leash I tied…”

While tightening the loosened leash around her neck, I continued to whisper.

“Soon, I’ll make you a stronger, special leash. A leash that’s yours alone. One that can never be undone without my permission.”

“M-my own…”

“Always wear it and regard it as an honor. Never forget the feeling of the leash around your neck, even for a moment, and always be aware that I control you.”

“Yes, yes…”

I would use my wealth to get a top-quality magic leash and tighten it around her neck. 

I wondered if she would tremble with joy whenever she touched that collar around her neck.

I imagined her looking only at me every time I tightened the collar. I imagined Lulu wearing the leash, recognizing only me as her master, and growling at strangers.

I wondered how much I could tighten the collar before she would tear up in pain. Watching her look at me with trembling eyes seemed appealing.

This desire, which I’ve never felt before in my life, was so…

“Hmm~♪”

“”……..!!””

With those thoughts, I applied more pressure on her leash and left new bite marks on her neck, and then I was startled when I heard Serena’s humming.

– Ssshhh…

And with that came a feeling of clarity.

“…Ah.”

And, guilt and fear.

“Hoo…”

“Hehe… Hehe…”

I quickly moved away from Lulu and sighed. I heard her ecstatic laughter from below.

‘This is crazy…’

The curse of ‘Villainization’ was getting increasingly more serious. 

In the morning, after spending a sweet day with Serena, I could control it somehow, but now my mind was being consumed by ‘Villainization’ again.

This curse, which made me want to ‘torment’ anyone in front of me, seemed to ignore my mental strength to some extent.

With my current mental strength, most mental curses shouldn’t affect me. What kind of curse was this?

Perhaps I should seek help from her; she was knowledgeable about curses.

“………”

“I love you… Master… Truly…”

With a melted expression, Lulu rubbed her cheek in Frey’s embrace.

“Master, I really, really like you…”

She climbed on one side of Frey’s knee and looked at him with trembling eyes.

“Sorry, Lulu… I was wrong…”

“……?”

Thinking she was acting like this because of his recent actions, Frey stroked her head with a sullen look.

“…Huh?”

Then, Frey tilted his head in confusion.

“What’s this…?”

“…Ughh!”

“Lulu?”

As he felt something small on Lulu’s head, she suddenly bent backward.

“W-why did you suddenly…!”

Startled, Frey grabbed her by the waist.

– Click…!

“Frey, we’ve found something quite interesting…”

The carriage door opened. Serena and the paladin possessed by the Sun God witnessed the scene.

“”………””

A strange silence ensued.

“F-Frey…? What are you doing?”

Serena, with a shocked expression, asked in a low voice.

“…Gulp.”

The goddess, blushing as she stole glances inside the carriage, swallowed dryly.

“Huff… Huff… Heh…”

Meanwhile, Lulu, with her waist bent, buried her head in Frey’s embrace and gasped for breath.

“What’s… this…?”

“Eeeek…”

While gently touching something on Lulu’s head and turning his gaze sideways, he replied in a low voice.

“Just playing with… my pet.”

“T-That? That’s playing?”

Serena was left speechless and started to stammer.

“Whatever. You guys wait here.”

“Huh?”

“Aren’t we supposed to look for a place to stay in the city?”

Frey, with a suddenly cold gaze, ordered. Finally, he removed his hand from Lulu’s head, trembling severely in his embrace, and started to stroke her collar.

“Frey?”

– Squeeze…!

Frey, again under Villainization’s control, tied her collar to the window frame of the carriage.

“I’ll find a suitable place to stay, so wait there quietly.”

“……♡”

“Hmm.”

Leaving those words to Lulu, who was still trembling on the carriage seat, Frey stepped outside. He met her gaze while looking at Serena and the goddess.

“The same goes for you two. Take good care of Lulu. If you move even slightly, I’ll put a collar on you like Lulu.”

“…Okay.”

“I-Is that kind of play okay… Ah, understood!”

Leaving the three girls behind, Frey quietly walked away.

“Frey, wait a moment.”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Serena grabbed Frey’s arm.

“…Hmm.”

Serena gave him a sharp look and whispered something in his ear. Frey quietly nodded.

“Good work, Serena.”

– Wobble…!

“Eek…!”

When their conversation ended, Frey gave her a mischievous look and pressed on her lower belly.

“…….”

“…Ah? Ugh?”

Frey narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Serena trembled at the wobbling sensation in her lower belly.

“Uh, um… the wobbling in my stomach is… natural… yes, yes.”

She quietly looked at Frey and muttered so.

“…I’m not sure if it is.”

Frey looked alternately at her and the ring of oath on his finger. He scratched his head and continued walking.

“I’m going crazy here…”

He started to murmur.

“I want to keep tormenting people…”

He could control it to some extent when he was alone, but when there was even one person around, the ‘Villainization’ would erupt uncontrollably.

Frey, who had a sad face due to this situation, glanced back at the girls. He could have hurt them with his actions. Soon, he turned into a secluded alley.

– Beep, beep…

He took out a communication crystal from his pocket and sent a signal somewhere.

“If it’s a curse… Kania would know.”

Muttering to himself, Frey tried to reach Kania.

“Cooooo!!”

“…..?”

Just as he was about to send her a signal, he tilted his head in confusion as an owl suddenly flew out of nowhere.

“Cooooo…!”

“Pfft…”

He spat the feather out of his mouth as the owl brushed its wings against his face, a little more excited than usual, and opened the letter it had brought him.

– I’ve ordered all the messengers heading to your mansion to be intercepted and the letters to be confiscated.

[Nighttime Serena]

“That’s so like Serena…”

He looked at the note attached to the letter from Serena fondly.

“…Ugh.”

He soon started to break out in a cold sweat.

– I have something to confess to you. Let’s meet up and talk.

[From Aishi Winter Cloud]

This letter from Aishi was dated about a week ago.

“Why is this coming now…”

“Coooo!!”

“Hey, stop that… Hm?”

Looking down at the letter with a puzzled expression, Frey was about to scold the owl, who kept poking him in the face.

“Coooo! Coo!”

The owl was pointing somewhere in the darkness with its wings.

“Seriously…”

Looking at the owl, Frey sighed and stroked its head, then muttered in a low voice.

“I know that, too.”

Frey turned his gaze.

“…Serena told me earlier.”

Alice, disguised using the Moonlight family’s technique, was curled up on a wall like a cat.

“………..”

She fixed her gaze on Frey, glaring fiercely at him.

– Rustle, rustle…

Meanwhile…

“Huuu… Huuu…”

Roswyn, who had been shedding hot tears until then, was scribbling something on a piece of paper, unable to muster the courage to replay the video.

“I’m sorry… It was my fault… Frey…”

– The Truth about Frey Raon Starlight

[Frey Raon Starlight was actually the Hero. He was born with the Path of False Evil to save this world, and because of that, he committed numerous deceits…]

It was a letter about ‘The Truth of Frey’ to be sent to all the media outlets in the empire.

– Crumple…!

“Uuuu…”

However, she quietly crumpled the paper as her tears stained it.

“I-I must let them know…”

She took out a new sheet of paper, spread it on the desk, and picked up the pen with trembling hands.

“The world… needs to know his truth…”

– Fizzing…!

“Eek!?”

As a small system window popped up and pushed her pen away from the letter, she screamed and stepped back.

Helper System

– First Restriction –

Then, what came into her view was:

Helper System

– You cannot divulge the Hero’s identity in any way.

The words were clear, glowing in the bright moonlight.

– Thud…

She knelt in front of the desk, her eyes filling with despair.

– Wooo…

At that moment, the video behind her started playing again.
