I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Dekir, who had rushed to the bathroom, saying he needed to go, was walking alone in the hallway. He was walking at a leisurely pace, as if he was walking at his own living room.

His gaze, which wandered down the hallway without a destination, was directed at the empty space.

No, to be exact…

His eyes, which held nothing, were reading information that only he could see.

‘Boring.’

His lips, which had been smiling all along, were tightly shut. His two eyes, which had been curved like a crescent moon whenever he faced Heyna, were also calm.

Under his thick eyelashes, his two eyes, slowly scanning the air, were filled with boredom.

“What is she doing now?”

Dekir muttered to himself, recalling Heyna’s figure, who must have been at a loss for what to do.

“Heyna won’t like either her mom or dad.”

As soon as he thought of Heyna, his hardened face showed emotion. His faint muttering was filled with the joy of a child looking forward to Christmas.

Just calling her name make him smile.

He wanted to have the ever-changing expressions and the gentle voice that tickled his ears all to himself.

He wants to help her go in the direction she wants, but on the other hand, he also wants to see her collapse in front of a huge ordeal that she can’t overcome.

Thinking about how Heyna will react when she gets her hands on the truth…

A thrilling shiver ran through his body.

Dekir quickly covered his mouth in case his laughter leaked out.

‘Heyna, when will you know?’

That he love her this much.

It was said that when you fall in love, any intelligent person becomes a fool. They become blind and deaf, and only see and hear the appearance and voice of the person they love.

‘It’s true.’

He can do anything for Heyna.

He’ll throw away my pride and imitate the appearance of someone who was loved by her.

‘I’ll definitely get you this time.’

His leisurely walk, imagining a happy future with Heyna, stopped in front of the door to the room she had entered.

‘Even if I don’t go in and eavesdrop, I can tell what’s going on inside…’

If possible, he wanted to hear her voice directly. He wasn’t satisfied with the information conveyed in text.

Dekir carefully opened the door so that it wouldn’t make a sound and went inside.

“I….”

Just then, Heyna, who had just finished making her choice, was about to say something.

What on earth was the answer she chose?

He secretly hoped that Heyna would give up on Tommy and just save her own life.

To Dekir, Tommy wasn’t exactly an annoying opponent. Since he already had a partner, there was no way that Tommy and Heyna would end up together.

Even so.

‘You never know. It’s not bad to have fewer competitors. It would be nice if he just disappeared while they’re at it.’

Dekir concentrated to properly hear Heyna’s answer.

“I love Tommy!”

‘What?’

***

The child’s expression, which had been blinking blankly, quickly turned grim.

“Does that mean you like Brother Tommy more than me?”

“No.”

“No, what do you mean no! You just said you love him.”

“That’s right. I love Tommy.”

“See, so…”

“But you’re my favorite person among my friends, not Tommy!”

The hand that had been roughly gripping the hair of the Tommy doll as if it was going to rip its head off stopped. The child tilted its head as if it didn’t understand what I was saying.

[You have selected ‘■■’.]

[‘■■”s favorability towards ‘Heyna’ has increased by 1.]

‘No, I don’t need your favorability!’

Tommy’s suspicion level didn’t rise even though I chose the child.

‘Success!’

It seemed like the plan to please both the mom and dad in question was working.

“Isn’t loving bigger than liking?”

I recited the lines I had thought of in advance to the child’s question.

“I like Tommy among the men. So, that means he’s my favorite man.”

“Then am I your favorite among the girls?”

“No. Do I only have female friends? I can be friends with any genders.”

The child’s expression, which had been pondering the meaning of my words, brightened up in an instant.

“Then, that means I’m number 1 anyway!”

“That’s right.”

In fact, it was a plausible answer, but if you looked into the meaning, it was no different from ‘I like you both.’ If the child had been a little more persistent, this trick wouldn’t have worked.

‘It’s a good thing my opponent is a child.’

“What about Bother?”

At the child’s words, I turned around.

“Eek!”

I let out a scream at the sight of Dekir, who was standing still behind me.

“D-Deki? Since when were you there?”

I didn’t hear any sound of him coming up, and I didn’t even feel his presence.

“I just got here.”

For some reason, Dekir’s voice was strangely cold. His eyes, which shone sharply in the darkness, felt like they were glaring at me fiercely.

‘What? Is he mad or something?’

Thinking about it, it was understandable for Dekir to be angry. I had told him to wait while I went to the bathroom, but I had come in here on my own.

“Deki? Is that brother your friend too, Heyna?”

“Yes, he is.”

“Do you love that brother too, sister?”

“Huh? What?”

I quickly shook my head.
