BJ Villainess Chapter 121

My face turned red, and I shouted. “How could you say things like that so casually?!”

 

“We’re not officially married, but isn’t this a common-law marriage?”

 

Damian wrapped me in a blanket so I couldn’t move, then kissed me on the lips, making a soft sound. “I love you.”

 

The sudden confession took my breath away.

 

“There’s no answer today either.” He then continued. “It’s okay though.”. Then he picked up the top he had thrown on the sofa and put it on his body.

 

“It’s been snowing for a long time, so shall we go out?”

 

I nodded hastily and scrambled out of bed.

 

I can’t stand this atmosphere. To be precise, I didn’t have immunity to this.  I needed something else to focus on, so I approached the window and looked outside. The architectural style made it seem like it was an empire, but this mansion was an unfamiliar place.

 

I can’t even see Allen.

 

Is this a mansion for just the two of us?

 

When did we return from Kingdom Rusangte?

 

I was curious about what kind of time Damian spent with ‘me,’ but I didn’t ask. Instead, I said the most appropriate words at this moment.

 

“Happy birthday, Damian.”

 

Then, Damian’s expression became cold, like a person who woke up from a sweet dream and faced a nightmarish reality. He gently touched his hardened mouth with his hand and then let out a hollow laugh. “Today is January 31st.”

 

It was only then that he realized what today was.

 

Now that I think about it, there was neither a clock nor a calendar in the room. I guess Damian got rid of it.

 

“There was no such thing as a miracle.”

 

Knowing what miracle he must have been hoping for breaks my heart.

 

Damian approached me and offered me a quick suggestion. “Shall we kiss?” And then he tried to overlap our lips.

 

I was so startled that I unconsciously stepped back and avoided him. My heart pounded uneasily.

 

Damian spoke with a cold face, unlike just a moment ago when he was full of affection and happiness. “Don’t avoid it. You have to go back to reality.”

 

He is just like a different person.

 

Right. He was right. Just because time didn’t pass much outside didn’t mean I was safe to stay in the dungeon for a long time. Because you never know when Damian’s future hopes will change from marriage to something else.

 

I had to quickly restore Damian’s memories and let him kill the ‘demon’ with his assassination skills. This dungeon couldn’t be cleared without his assassination skill.

It was the right thing to do when you think rationally. But I couldn’t be that cold-hearted. The moment we kiss, the current Damian would disappear from this world. How is that different from murder?

 

“…Can’t we stay together a little longer?”

 

Damian has just turned 22. Killing him right away was very difficult and painful for me.

 

“Just kiss me now.”

 

I’d rather die instead. If I could, I really wanted to die in his stead. Just like I did to Clyde.

 

“Let’s stay together a little longer. It’s your birthday.”

 

“…”

 

Damian walked up to the window with long strides, like someone who couldn’t overcome his frustration, and roughly ran his hands through his hair. He too was suffering from the current situation. Soon, he looked back at me with a pained expression.

 

“Don’t cry, Madam.”

 

Before I knew it, I was crying.

 

Damian came to me with a helpless expression and pulled me into his arms. “I understand, so don’t cry. I was being mean on purpose. I don’t want you to get hurt… I’m sorry.”

 

No, it’s okay. You can do that.

 

“Originally, I wasn’t planning on sending you to your original world.”

 

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

 

“I was planning on ruining everything, but why do you make me want to save you?”

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

“Stop saying sorry. You may not remember, but I was really sick of hearing it.”

 

“…”

 

“You can just say I love you. But even if I die, you didn’t say that.”

 

Right. Why didn’t I tell him that?

 

“I love you.”

 

“…”

 

“I love you so much that I want to die in your place.”

 

Damian groaned and buried his face on the back of my neck with a groan. I could hear swearing.

 

“I know that the love you’re talking about is different from my love… But when I see you like this, I really go crazy.”

 

“You shouldn’t have loved me.”

 

“That’s such a difficult story.”

 

As my sniffles subsided, Damian gently took my hand and said, “Then shall we go now?”

 

Nod.

 

Only after I put on thick clothes and a fur hat carefully were I able to go out into the snow-covered yard with Damian.

 

“It’s good.”

 

The world covered with white snow was very beautiful, as if everything had been erased. Even my heavy heart felt a little excited.

 

It had snowed so much all night that the snow reached my ankles. I thought I could easily make a snowman at this level.

 

When I started to roll my eyes hard, Damian turned his eyes to the side and got grumpy.

 

“Ah! What’s wrong?”

 

“I’m jealous because Madam uses your eyes to look around, not to me.”

 

“What are you saying now? Bring some snow. Let’s build a snowman together.”

 

Damian was acting grumpy as if building a snowman wasn’t what he wanted to do with me. “You can make dozens of things like this with magic.”

 

“Don’t try to solve anything with magic. It’s a bad habit.”

 

“I don’t think this is something said by someone who wants to use magic to even take a bath.”

 

Damian hit me with a heavy fact, then calmly made a snowball and started rolling it gently.

 

“How big are you going to make it?”

 

“Umm, as big as you?”

 

We rolled our eyes competitively and took a breath while lying in a snow field like a white sheet.

 

“Woow. I’m tired.”

 

“Are you telling me to make all the remaining snowmen?”

 

“You understand me well.”

 

Perhaps because I had lost all my strength, I started laughing even at ridiculous jokes.

 

Ding!

[I’m happy, but why am I crying…]

 

Damian asked, rolling over to me so close that my breath could touch him. “Do you like snow?”

 

I’ve heard this question before.

 

“I like it.” Unlike before, this time, I answered with a smile.

 

Damian smiled and pressed our foreheads together instead of arbitrarily kissing my cheek like Ozworld.

 

“I like it too.”

 

I know that wasn’t said with me in his mind. Because his face that whispered that he liked it too was so lovely.

 

“Achoo!”

 

Before I knew it, we had already made a large family of snowmen when I suddenly sneezed.

 

“I knew it.”

 

Damian immediately picked me up and came into the house.

 

“You’re hungry, aren’t you?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Today, I’ll make chicken stew and grilled eggplant. There were eggplants in the greenhouse Madam built last time…”

 

Damian shut up and turned his words around. “Take a shower for now. I’ll prepare it.”

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Over Immersed Otaku’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]

[This is truly a cruel situation… Damian has to disappear alone, holding all the memories that the other person doesn’t know about… And then all these memories become Theresa’s alone…]

 

“I know, right?’

 

Why did we create such a cruel situation?

 

What should the remaining people do?

 

What would a person who disappears do to create a situation like this?

 

I felt guilty again, and I felt my mood subside infinitely. As I soaked in the warm water, I cried quietly so he couldn’t hear from outside and forced myself to swallow tears. I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life depressed.

 

Creek. After leaving the bathroom, I wrapped my wet hair in a towel and moved to a place where the delicious smell was coming from. “What are you making? It smells good.”

 

Damian sighed deeply. “I told you not to go around in a gown. Please change your clothes and come back. Because the food is ready.”

 

“Alright.”

 

Even though the heating was good, it was still too cold to just wear a gown, so I changed into warm clothes.

 

“It’s obvious that you’re a noble at times like this.”

 

But I’m actually a commoner though… That made me feel severely insulted.

 

I didn’t know where to use it, so he loosened the string around my waist and yanked it off.  

 

“Uaah!”

 

Thanks to this, I was in a position to be hugged by Damian.

 

“This string is not made to be wrapped around the waist but to be fastened to the back like this. Otherwise, your clothes will fall down.”

 

Swish, swish. He held me in his arms and lowered his head, crossing the strings like tying sneaker laces.

 

“…But is it really necessary to be in this position?”

 

“Yes, it is necessary. Because you’re acting all noble right now.”

 

“Ah.”

 

It was something like that. Then I had nothing to say…

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Son-in-law Damian’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]

[I can’t believe this is a daydream ㅜ Please save Damian.]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Bet Your Life on Theresa’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]

[Do you think Theresa is feeling at ease right now? She was just crying a moment ago, and you don’t even consider her pain?]

 

Sigh. The constellations fought again. I’m so sick and tired of it. My head was throbbing from stress.

 

I rested my cheek in Damian’s arms and stayed still. Even though Damian had finished tying the strings, he was silent as he held my waist. What broke the gloomy silence was the growling sound of my stomach.

 

“Let’s eat now.”

 

When the meal started, we chatted as if we never felt depressed. He and I discussed magic and thought about what to do tomorrow.

 

“There’s a lake nearby. The lake is probably frozen solid, so it would be nice to go sledding.”

 

“Let’s do that.”

 

“The market will open in a few days. Shall we go there?”

 

“Yes. Let’s go there, too.”

 

Then, when the conversation stopped, the atmosphere quickly calmed down. Because the end was fixed, I couldn’t be happy.

 

“Go to bed, Madam.”

 

I held Damian’s hand and thought. Now, just one day has passed.
