BJ Villainess Chapter 335

* * *

“Presideeent!”

 

I watched as a group of young ladies, a mix of members from Clybe and Therdang, ran toward me like hunting dogs who had found their pretty. They were still as lively and noisy as ever.

 

“Aah, why haven’t you kept in touch? Did you not miss us? Were you trying to make us worry on purpose?”

 

“Uaah, you look so cute in your graduation cap!”

 

“Please don’t graduate! Please don’t graduate! Please don’t graduate!”

 

“Did you know? President has a way of making people obsessed with you.”

 

Ugh… so overwhelming.

 

“Did you see Clyde? He was in full uniform today, with his hair styled up.”

 

I tried to divert their attention to Clyde, but it didn’t work.

 

“Of course we saw him!”

 

It seemed they were indeed part of the Clybe.

 

“You have no idea how cool and cute he looked when he was threatening people to back off! Kyaaa0!”

 

I see…

 

“Here, take these flowers, President! Congratulations on graduating!”

 

“Ah, please accept mine too!”

 

“Mine as well!”

 

Suddenly, I was buried under a pile of flowers. Despite the chaos, their genuine intent to congratulate me was touching.

 

“Thank you, everyone.”

 

After some giggling, they made the unreasonable demand that I keep coming to school even after graduating. Eventually, they reluctantly let me go.

 

As I continued to receive congratulatory bouquets from various people, I tucked them all into my subspace. Then, a girl I hadn’t seen before approached me shyly.

 

“Congratulations on graduating, President.”

 

“Thank you. But, who are you…?”

 

“I’m Lumio.”

 

What? Lumio, the one who used to watch me with those creepy eyes, always lurking on the verge of opening the dungeon gate?!

 

Seeing Lumio again after so long, her skin now glowed with health, and her eyes sparkled brightly. She looked so lively, almost like a different person.

 

“You look great, maybe because it’s been a while.”

 

“Yes. Ever since my long-time wish came true, my health has improved.”

 

I didn’t even have to ask as I already knew that her ‘long-time wish’ was for Clyde and me to become a couple. Haha…

 

“Thanks for the flowers.”

 

After Lumio left, Rainie and Mimosa showed up.

 

“What’s taking you so long? We need to take the group photo, so hurry up.”

 

“Okay, I’m coming.”

 

Then Mimosa, with a mischievous grin that quickly softened into a smile, called out sweetly, “Damiaaaaan~!”

 

I turned to see Damian, who, despite having dropped out of school, had come to celebrate my and Clyde’s graduation along with our other friends.

 

Mimosa quickly corrected herself and greeted him more formally. “Mimosa of the Bruni family greets Duke Kapento.”

 

Damian smiled and waved it off. “You can treat me like you used to.”

 

“But you’re a duke now, I couldn’t possibly!”

 

Ugh, I felt sick.

 

“See you later.”

 

I waved at Damian and quickly slipped away, with Rainie laughing and following close behind.

 

“So, what are you going to do after graduation? Are you getting married right away?”

 

Even in the real world, it takes at least a year to plan a wedding, and in the world of nobles, it takes at least two years. I was planning to set up a research lab in the meantime.

 

When I explained my plans, Rainie’s expression grew curious. “Are you planning to become a professor?”

 

“I hadn’t thought about it, really.”

 

However, I did intend to drastically reform the way magic was used based on what I had learned. That’s why I needed the research lab.

 

“Clyde is going to join me. Would you like to join my lab after you graduate?”

 

“It sounds interesting… I’ll think about it.”

 

“I’ll pay you well.”

 

“No thanks! Don’t you know how much trouble you’ve already caused me with all the extravagant gifts you forced on me? I became rich overnight!”

 

We laughed together, but then we both stopped at the same time. It was because at the far end of the hallway, we saw Libby standing with Zakari, and the atmosphere between them felt strange.

 

“…Are they fighting?”

 

“It doesn’t look like they’re fighting. Libby just seems upset.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

I had a feeling I knew why Libby looked so disheartened. Now that Ilya had resumed his role as the ruler of heaven, Zakari’s responsibilities had increased, and he needed to return soon. But unlike before, with all the strict rules, he could visit the human world more often, so he could still maintain his relationship with Libby.

 

But that’s their problem to solve. It would be foolish to interfere in someone else’s relationship.

 

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

 

We quickly left before they noticed us.

 

I had already packed up my dorm and said goodbye to everyone I needed to around campus. Now, it was time to take the group photo.

 

“Theresa.” Clyde appeared, seemingly done with his personal tasks, and came looking for me just in time.

 

Rainie smirked, glancing between the two of us, and waved goodbye. “See you later, Senior.”

 

Since Clyde and I had officially become a couple, people were giving us far more space and consideration, which felt a bit over the top.

 

I shook my head, then intertwined my fingers with Clyde’s as we strolled across the campus, reminiscing about everything that had happened. As we walked, I suddenly noticed something strange.

 

“…Wait a minute.”

 

Did I just see a statue of myself? Or was I just imagining it?

 

Clyde, seeing the new stone statue made in a different form than the already existing one, casually replied, “Oh, that? They put it up a few days ago.”

 

“Why?”

 

I asked, bewildered, but Clyde just shrugged.

 

“Who knows?”

 

“This is your family’s estate. But why are there two statues of me? Don’t you think that’s odd?”

 

“What’s so odd? You’re the god of this dimension… oops.”

 

I quickly covered his mouth, looking around to make sure no one heard. “Quiet! What if someone hears?”

 

Clyde looked at me with a playful expression, as if my caution was unnecessary, but nodded. “Most people have probably already noticed, but if you want to pretend, go ahead.”

 

“Once the timeline is properly aligned, all memory confusion will disappear. It’ll work itself out.”

 

“That’s not the real issue here…”

 

Annoyed by Clyde’s teasing, I playfully punched him in the side.

 

After taking plenty of photos with friends and professors, we slipped away and wandered toward the dorms.

 

“Let’s go in for a bit.” I pointed toward Clyde’s dormitory.

 

“Are you cold? Why here—”

 

As soon as we entered the empty dorm, I pulled Clyde into a deep kiss, catching him by surprise. He quickly scooped me up and kissed me even more passionately.

 

There were moments, even while being with him, where I would miss him so much that it drove me crazy, and I couldn’t help but express those emotions.

 

Today was our graduation, and it was also his birthday—January 31st. Perhaps that’s why my emotions were running even higher than usual. And since today was the day the main quest would have been completed if the broadcast had continued, it felt especially significant.

 

Has it already been a month? With my wish, all the broadcasts were wiped out. Pantheon had fallen, becoming a simple dimension where constellations lived ordinary lives. Hardy and the Victim Union strictly monitored them, ensuring they couldn’t cross dimensions freely anymore. He explained that they were adjusting to new rules and building a new society.

 

We stood there, laughing and catching our breath in the cold air, our foreheads pressed together.

 

“Happy birthday.”

 

“Thanks. And congratulations on graduating.”

 

We kissed again. It wasn’t a hurried, passionate kiss but one full of tenderness, driven by love.

 

“I love you.”

 

Clyde’s voice was full of raw emotion as he told me he loved me, and before I could respond, he kissed me again, his embrace growing more intense. I had a feeling that if this continued, we’d miss the birthday party altogether.

 

All the male protagonists had their birthdays on January 31st, and after everything we had been through, we had agreed to celebrate together this time.

 

Clyde, clearly losing patience, broke the kiss and asked, “Should we go home?”

 

He had left the Willow Duchy and established his own residence, officially passing the title to his uncle, Gordon. We had planned to live freely, researching new magic, away from the duties of our families.

 

“No.”

 

Please.”

 

“I told you no. We have to get ready for the party.”

 

Seemingly resigned, Clyde hugged me tightly and teleported us to his residence.

 

“Clyde!”

 

In the blink of an eye, I found myself lying on his bed.

 

“The party is in the evening anyway. We won’t be late.”

 

“Hey!”

 

Clyde tossed his graduation cap aside and flashed that familiar teasing smile. “You’re the one who started first.”

 

And so, this was my true ending.
